Okay friends, now you know my secret to looking like I’ve lost weight! I have finally found the best underwear in the world! Undie-tectable Panty from Spanx! It is so comfortable and does away with the muffin top!!!! I wish that I could sell them at Amazing Tee’s, but you can find them at many department stores and the Spanx website. 
.
They come in six colors and sizes are S to 3X. Buy one size smaller than you think you need.
The summer heat is really here! All the more reason to pull out all of my bamboo clothing. Bamboo fabric wicks and is cool. It also doesn’t have an odor like synthetic and cotton fabric. No rings of sweat under the arm pits! My favorite ladies tee in this heat is the tank, which is 20% off right now. In addition, the short sleeve tee’s are perfect, even the one in black.
The U.S. government has finally agreed to allow a protected habitat for the North American Jaguar. However, there are no known Jaguars in the U.S. right now — not sense Macho B was killed last year. In honor of this decision, take a look at the Amazing Jaguar bamboo t-shirt.
I am very excited to add Alo brand bamboo tops to my website. There are four ladies tees with a wonderful range of colors and styles. These are 70% bamboo and 30% cotton. I have been wearing them and testing them for the last week and just love ‘em!! I also added a men’s classic t-shirt that comes in black, white, navy, slate and steel blue. It is also 70% bamboo and 30% cotton, but it has a lighter feel than my Amazing Tee’s brand. I would describe the Amazing Tee’s brand as more “cushiony” and plush. But the Alo brand is very soft as well! Check them out!
My friend Ava has shared her secret!! She has been doing the following for 25 years and man oh man does her skin look great!!
1. Begin with a freshly washed face and neck.
2. Combine 2 tablespoons of Sesame Seed or Olive Oil with 1 heaping teaspoon of Sea Salt. Note: if you have cuts or broken skin, substitute 1 to 2 teaspoons coarse cut oatmeal for salt. Using the corner of a clean wet washcloth, gently rub Oil Mixture over entire face and neck, using small gentle circles. Avoid eyes, eyelids, and delicate under-eye areas.
3. Wash face and neck thoroughly, removing all of the Oil mixture. Dampen a cotton ball with Penta Water and rinse face and neck. Towel-dry or allow skin to dry naturally.
4. Fill a large pot with water. Bring to a boil and add 2-3 tablespoons of the natural herbal laxative Swiss Kriss for an incredibly cleansing facial steam. Do not use the tablets, they will not break down down well enough. (Swiss Kriss can be found in most drugstores and is inexpensive. Save even more by ordering it online.) Let herbs simmer for several minutes. Remove pot from heat and place on a stable surface. Place towel over head to keep steam from escaping. Take the facial steam for 5 to 15 minutes, depending on tolerance. Use caution as steamm can burn skin.
5. Use another clean cotton ball with Penta Water to rinse face and neck.
6. Break open a capsule of Vitamin A. Spread over face and neck, including the under eye area. Leave on overnight. (Cover pillows with towels to avoid staining.) Note: Alternating PURE aloe veral gel with Vitam A oil also works well.
7. In the morning, wash your face and resume your usual skin care routine.
Use this routine as described aove once a week at night before bed. After four consecutive weeks, look for resultts. After that, once a month for maintenance. For additional over-all skin care: Replace processed foods with natural ones. Always drink plenty of water. Use sunscreen. Exercise regularly.
I found a great new source of information on beauty products. “Don’t Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me” by Paula Begoun (subscription web site is beautypedia). She lists the best value products that can be bought at the drug store. For example, one of the best inexpensive foundations with sunscreen for normal to dry skin is Revlon Colorstay makeup with SoftFlex for Normal to Dry skin SPF 15, approximately $13. One of the best inexpensive concealers is Revlon Age Defying Concealer SPF 20, about $9. And best inexpenisve blush: Maybelline New York Dream Mousse Blush, about $7.50. She also recommends Maybelline’s new Colossal mascara and Olay Regenerist. The expensive thing she can’t live without? Allergan’s Latisse eyelash grower that just came out. You can buy all of these products with no shipping and possible discounts at:
Amazing Jaguar Bamboo T-Shirt
An amazing and true story! A jaguar was spotted southwest of Tucson on February 18, captured and is now being tracked with a satellite tracking collar! This is so exciting. It is the first time a tracking collar has been placed on a jaguar in the United States. The report is that the jaguar has already travelled 3 miles from where he was captured!
The jaguar weighs 118 pounds with a thick and solid build. The field biologists said the cat appeared healthy and hardy. If jaguars fascinate you, go to: http://www.amazingteesus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=page&id=26&chapter=3
I’ve found some great sites that have interesting information about living a greener life. I’d like to share them and hope you all will share yours! Ideal Bite is a daily e-newsletter that has fun suggestions and facts that help you realize how little adjustments in daily life add up. For example, today it shared: “If 10,000 Biters use 10 large used or recycled moving boxes instead of new ones, we’ll save 7,350 trees.” and “The UN estimates that there are more than 3 million shipwrecks on the oceanfloor.” Where do they find out these facts? I guess there’s somebody there researching things and figuring things out! One reason I love this site and daily missive is that they describe themselves as “light green” — somewhere between tree huggers and litter buggers! Hopefully, that’s most of us! Please write and share your interesting great green sites!
Ladies Bamboo Tees
No matter what the garment is, it is more comfortable, more eco-friendly and more flattering when made from bamboo. Bamboo became a way of life for me as soon as I put on my first bamboo tee. I’m interested in how others feel about this so I am starting a regular topic on Bamboo Fashion. The intent is to share fashion and beauty ideas for those of us who love the amazing comfort, look and eco-friendliness of bamboo clothing! New designs, colors, types of fabric and style suggestions are welcome! I will be adding posts regarding new clothing and accessory finds. I hope that you will do the same!
