In the beauty industry, Foreo is known for its beautifully designed silicone products. Their sleek facial cleansing brush hit the market a couple years ago and since then hasn't slowed down. One of it's newer products is the Iris Illuminating Eye Massager. The company claims the Iris enhances the absorption of eye serums and eye creams. I don't own one of these devices but after using it around my tired eyes - man, am I tempted. But the Iris doesn't come cheap, it retails for $139-bucks. You can pick one up online or at stores like Sephora and Nordstrom.
Unlimited Blowouts with Prete & Founder Nina Ojeda
I don't know about you but I sure love a good blowout. Unfortunately, I never seem to have the time to go and get one. And when I do, it's usually so last minute that all the blowout bars near me are already booked. Well, this new beauty booking service called, Prete, may be the solution for beauty procrastinators. Plus, it's cheaper. Prete is a members-only service that allows last minute ladies like myself to get in for a blowout at various salons in San Francisco. I haven't had the chance to give it a try yet but I did talk to Prete Founder, Nina Ojeda when she was visiting San Francisco recently and she explained to me how it works. If you give it a try let me know what you think. I'm hoping to try it out soon and will update when I do.
Summer Fun at the Ivivva Coast to Coast Summer Festival
Wow! Ivivva sure knows how to throw a party. Last Saturday, me and my daughters joined hundreds of Bay Area girls as Ivivva wrapped up its Coast to Coast Summer Festival circuit. After making stops in Boston, Chicago and Los Angeles, Ivivva ended with a funtastic celebration in San Francisco at the City View at Metreon. Of course, my girls were a tad bit nervous about whether it was going to live up to the hype. And boy did it ever. It truly was a day filled with fun, movement and inspiration for girls of all ages.
There was everything from hair braiding to fun tribal art to a photo booth and an Ivivva pop up shop? Of course my girls hit up just about everything. But it was the group workout that got everyone moving. Hundreds of girls showed off their best warrior poses as one of the youngest certified instructors in the country co-led them thru yoga. And then there was the Pound cardio jam session. Girls pounding out their energy with bright neon drumsticks (I definitely need to try this). But as their mom, I gotta say the real magic happened when the girls sat wide eyed and listened to other young girls share their beautiful and inspiring stories about working hard to achieve their dreams and goals. There was just something about hearing from their peers that made them stop and really listen.
Thank you Ivivva for putting on a perfect day for so many Bay Area girls. Here's a short video of some of the fun and action that my girls took part in.

Ivivva Coast to Coast Summer Festival in San Francico
It's been a busy few weeks with summer travel but this weekend we're staying put and getting our workout on at the Ivivva Coast to Coast Summer Festival in San Francisco. It's all part of a campaign I'm working on with Ivivva (Yep, that means I'm getting paid) that's bringing hundreds of young girls together to move, be inspired and dream BIG! If you're not familiar with Ivivva, it was started by Lululemon but it's for the younger set.
We'd love to see you in San Francisco with us this Saturday at City View at Metreon. There will be lots going on for the girl.. We're talking inspiring yoga led by one of the youngest certified yoga instructors in the country, motivational speakers and a cardio jam session that will get the girls hearts pumping and their bodies moving.
As you can imagine, my daughters are enjoying all the fun and excitement surrounding the upcoming summer festival. So, we made a little video from our shopping excursion yesterday at the Ivivva store in Corte Madera. Hope you enjoy it as much as they did shopping:)
It's expected that some 400+ plus girls will turn out for all the festival fun so be sure to get your girls signed up now. You can click the picture above for a link to more information and registration or click here --> http://bit.ly/2ae7n43
