Also right now, a Fashion Team charm key chain featuring the FT logo, sunglasses, jeans, high heel and TV Guide logo will be given for every order received, for as long as supplies last. This is a limited time offer - we're running out fast!

Gift recipients are randomly selected by the unbiased fingers of Hayden, our warehouse foreman:

Tonight's The Night! Our TV Debut on The Fashion Team

When we got the call that someone at TV Guide Network was a 'big fan' of our product and wanted to air items on The Fashion Team, we were TOTALLY BLOWN AWAY. In fact, even with the many emails and a phone conference or two, it was hard not to doubt this was actually happening - until we received the adorable Fashion Team/TV Guide keychains that many, many of you now have in your posession.

Well, July 10th is here, and tonight is the night. 8PM central time, 9pm standard on TV Guide.

If you haven't seen The Fashion Team before, it is a casual and fun look into fashion and beauty. David Evangelista is a 5 time Emmy nominated celebrity stylist who has a segment at least once a month on The Early Show, as well as contributes to Life & Style magazine (among many other activities). I love his hair segments - he gives common sense advice and just makes it look so easy. Comedienne Daphne Brogdon co-hosts and is a new mom to boot. Each week there is a special guest/expert added to put in their take on the world of fashion & beauty. Tonight's guest is Mary Alice Haney, stylist for Extreme Makeover.

Note: This isn't your father's TV Guide - it's better

DISH & DIRECT TV viewers: feed for TV Guide Network will be full screen w/entertainment news ticker across the bottom of the screen
CABLE TV viewers: The show will air on the top 2/3rds of the screen with channel listings on the bottom 1/3. By 2009 all programming will changeover to full screen. Yes, you have the right station!

TV Guide Network continues to bring original and engaging programming to viewers - The Fashion Team is only one of many cool shows to watch. If you can't catch it tonight, we will have the full screen version on our site after the episode airs. No, we can't peek ahead of time - we'll be watching too.

Cool off from the heat tomorrow at the Milwaukee Public Market! If you haven't yet been to this beautiful, upscale market, you are missing a treat. Indoor and outdoor vendors offer fresh & organic produce and goods. Stop by and see Michelle and get your fresh cut soap...our special will be Yuzu Gold.

He's A Dancin' Machin'

"I am normally a skeptical person...

I was in White Plains Whole Foods, and all the employees were singing the praises of your products...I tried your scrub on my feet in the shower this morning - and my feet felt so good, they felt like they could dance! I'm not sure I've got the right moves, but they sure felt like they could dance...

Normally I use a lot of product with no visible results. I used very little of your scrub to know it was effective."

Customer Raves
"Never being much impressed of other hand made, all natural soaps, I thought yours may not be much different. Well, much to my surprise, I picked up your soaps, one by one, scent by scent and was so pleasantly surprised! I LOVED all of them! They each had the perfect blend and amount of aroma. Each note complimented the other in the soap. None of which gave me a headache! LOL! I typically will pick up a soap and have to shake the smell out of my nose. Yours were perfect."

The MakeUp Girl has a new bag...

Lianne at TheMakeUpGirlBlog.com now has an additional gig at HONEY magazine. This former model and current makeup artist has turned blogger extrodinaire, and her blog was recently mentioned at About.com as one of the top recommended beauty sites (many of our other favs were also listed!).

We zoomed over to support her spot and were pleasantly surprised to see she had linked Solessence. Thanks for that, and well wishes on your new endeavour.

The 'Size Matters' controversy (no laughing matter)

I'd like to touch on something that has been around for a while but is not widely known. It is also a subject heavy on my mind (no pun intended, as you will understand later). As this isn't a board for cosmetic review, I have not been sure of the appropriateness of the topic here. However, I think it is important enough to post for you to read if you choose, and take a minute to reflect on the content.

Nano technology has been one of the 'trendy' ingredients in cosmetic manufacturing for some time. Primarily, titanium dioxide for sunscreens, although there are a number of other culprits. And for some time, scientific reports have been coming in that these ingredients that are so small they are able to penetrate the skin, travel to the brain, and...collect in little pools. The end of this first intial report I read (nearly two years ago) stated it was too early to determine if there was any harm to this happening. Does it really sound like a good thing?

Sunscreen addicts, take note: nano technology is found in many types of beauty products, but sunscreen was the primary audience for this development. I urge you to review labels before you buy and to scrutinize what is currently in your stockpile.

A post from Friends of the Earth touches on this subject from the consumer side and gives a good overview in layman terms. Please, take a moment to read the information and come to your own conclusions. http://www.foe.org/camps/comm/nanotech/index.html

OT: Never to Early to Start...(April Fools)

For every message DOVE sends out, there is an opposite (mainstream?) school of thought...

Is this right for us?
What soon-to-be-parent hasn’t had the dreaded fear, kept secretly to themselves, that their newborn baby would not be as pretty or as handsome as they’d hoped. With all of the advances in laser and reconstructive surgery, these fears are now a thing of the past.

Why haven't I heard of this before?
Ten years ago, an ugly baby was something that you had to live with. That was then. Today, the practice of cosmetic surgery for children as young as two months is becoming widely accepted. At that age, the bone and cartilage development is still malleable and easy for a skilled surgeon to work with.

What is it?
Cosmetic Reconstructive Altering Baby Surgery (CRABS) is performed to enhance or change a healthy, normal, functioning part of the baby's body. The Early Life Cosmetics Surgery Centre is Canada's first 'baby only' plastic surgery centre, specializing in those 'ugly babies' under 5 months of age. The ELC has many services available, including chin alterations, protruding foreheads, eye ridge definition, and the big hit with Pageant Parents - ear bosselations. We strive to restore function or to achieve physical normality.

Is my baby too young?
No. But they can be too ugly. The earlier the baby goes under the knife, the better. The last thing you want is your baby growing up, going to school and being teased because he/she is ugly.

Can I finance my plastic surgery procedure?
Sure. We have professionals that specialize in helping good people with poor credit, no credit, or bankruptcy, and help you and your child get a fresh start. We also have a No Money Down / Trade-up program available to those who qualify. Don't let money get in the way of you and your child's happiness!
