Keep Humidity Out

In Atlanta, as I am sure is the case in many places, humidity is a major problem. Like, major. And I have frizzy hair. It's a real bummer when I have spent about an hour straightening it and making it sit down just to have all of that erased as soon as I walk out the door.

Living Proof has found a solution. After 30 years of research, you no longer has to use products with a silicone base (weighs down your hair). This company has developed Polyfluoro Ester, a smaller molecule to help frizz control. I'm not a scientist, so I'm not even going to try to explain how it works, but it does.

I have tried the shampoo and conditioner and also the No Frizz Styling Spray. It really helps keep my hair from poofing (the technical term for frizz). I love it!

I opened my mail and looked at Dream Belle Designs beautiful jewelry and can't believe that I get so lucky to play with and try out stuff like this. Susan Walz, the artist behind Dream Belle, is super talented. I love her materials and colors. I don't know if she focuses on fall colors all the time, but right now, that's the scheme she is using.

In addition to her colorful beads and baubles, Walz twists the metal she uses and the effect is awesome. All of her jewelry is made from 92.5% sterling silver, real copper, brass, and fine silver, unless otherwise stated. So, if you have allergies, don't fear.

I reviewed the Crazy for Copper Rustic / Light Lime Green Jade Tear-drop, Antiqued Chain Necklace. This necklace is stunning. The Jade tear drop stone stands out against the muted color of the copper. The wrapped copper wiring adds to the appeal of this piece's beauty.

I also tried the Falling Leaves / Reddish Brown Carnelian Rondelle with Copper Earrings that are a burnt orange color. They are also held together with copper wiring. These will go great with warm winter and fall clothes.

Lucky for all of you, Dream Belle Designs is having a sale right now!! This is a great place to get jewelry for the ones you love for Christmas.

Mark Poulin

Mark Poulin is an awesome artist who converts his super cute drawings into jewelry. Many of his works are double sided, so you can get two great pieces for the price of one. Poulin's jewelry is made of sterling silver and enamel on sterling silver. On his Etsy site, of himself, Poulin says, "I love to make things, I love to buy things. Etsy works for me."

I reviewed his sterling silver Aries necklace which is absolutely amazing. It is a very cute little ram in a dress. I like that it's not overly-zodiac. I like my sign, but I don't always want to be really obvious that I am wearing something Aries.

I also checked out the reversable Star Kitty and Little Space Kitty necklace. It is made out of enamel. I love cats, as you know. So, this is perfect. There are little hearts and stars that make this necklace super cute and the primary colors color combination matches with almost everything.
