Where To Find 24 Great Gifts For Women - Beauty Gift Guide - July 2021

Hi There..... Have you been waiting for me to share some more great gifts for women?

Then this is your lucky day because today I have put together another beauty gift guide, especially for you. It takes up a lot of time but I like to keep my readers happy. 😃

Ever since I was a kid, I have always wanted to make people happy. I recently discovered it may be because I am a Highly Sensitive Person, and I hate conflict situations. So don't you dare to say you are not happy with my new gift guide. 😈

Nah, just joking, I can take criticism. I can't expect you to like everything I write. Let me know, though,  if I spiral down the road too much and lose myself in it. That would make a vast gap in the road. Then again, if this is exactly what you have been waiting for, don't hesitate to tell me either. 😜

Wait, not yet, you still have to check out my gift guide before you praise me to the skies. 😉

Smooth Over $50.00



The erb + owens skincare line is distinctive in that its products were developed specifically to combat the dehydration and wrinkling of the skin, caused by exposure to harsh elements such as wind, dry air, and cold.

All erb + owens products draw their magical power from Mother Nature’s wonders. These “star ingredients” keep clients coming back for more. Sea buckthorn works like Retinol A for healthy cell turnover without irritation. Meadowfoam, rosehip, argan, evening primrose, borage, and avocado oil diminish wrinkles and restore a youthful appearance. Orange oil lifts the spirits and keeps acne away.

Original Hair Turban $20.99



Sometimes, making a small adjustment to a beauty regiment positively impacts the quality of someone's hair and skin. Often people tie their hair up with a heavy towel, which causes friction and induces hair loss. Using a microfiber towel can improve the quality of hair by drying the hair with any additional rubbing. It decreases the drying time by 50%. Unnecessary friction increases the duration of any color treatment. Using a microfiber towel can save up to 13 hours of hair drying while using a hairdryer. AQUIS as a company is very environmentally conscious and provides value for money. 

DRY WITH AQUITEX TECHNOLOGY - Unique AQUITEX material is woven into channels that work to quickly and gently wick water away from hair faster than traditional cotton and terry towels without taking necessary moisture out of hair.
PROTECT HAIR AT ITS WEAKEST - Wet hair is weaker. Avoid the friction from rough materials and heat when hair is at its most vulnerable to keep strands smoother and stronger.
UNWRAP HEALTHIER HAIR - Towel design and proprietary microfiber material allow for healthier hair drying without rubbing or heat to promote stronger strands—and 50% faster drying time.
DONE WITH DAMAGE - Leaves hair noticeably softer, smoother, shinier + healthier without adding any product to your routine.
CONSCIOUS DRYING - Our proprietary fabric lasts longer and is less pollutive than traditional microfiber material for less consumption and less waste.

NO PEEKING $14.95



While traveling to a friend's wedding in Miami and sharing a hotel room with a bunch of girlfriends and one bathroom, Sairey found herself trying to get ready while wrestling with her towel. Putting on her dress for the wedding wasn't an option, and traveling only with a carry-on, she didn't have many options to throw on. She kept thinking there was a better option than struggling to stay covered and not having your hands free. Thus, the idea of the TowelTopper was invented. 

TowelTopper® towel bands are patent pending packable towel bands that wrap around any towel anywhere to secure it in place. Securely keeping you covered while doing your hair or putting on makeup. 

Industrial strength elastic, snug fit. Pull to stretch around, elastic will eventually settle into a perfect fit without stretching out over time.

On top of a successful career in Hollywood, Calvet is the game-changing CEO and founder of the award-winning skincare line, SilcSkin, dedicated to developing non-invasive solutions for the safe and effective removal of wrinkles and fine lines. SilcSkin is the first of its kind to use natural silicone patches that adhere to your skin while you sleep—without using toxic adhesives—to keep all areas of your body smooth and wrinkle-free, safely and effectively without irritation.  
 
SilcSkin got its start in developing solutions for wrinkles over twenty years ago, as Calvet was the first to repurpose and redesign Silicone Scar Gel Sheeting for anti-wrinkle, anti-aging products. Extensive testing was conducted to ensure the best possible results were achieved and quality was not compromised. All manufacturing takes place in the U.S.A. and Calvet and the company pride themselves on using a platinum curing process to refine the silicone, ensuring only the purest reaches the consumer. SilcSkin pads are stronger and last longer than the competition, and they don’t use any additives. 

Our Full Face Set contains 1 brow pad, 4 Eye Pads, and 2 Multi-Area Pads that work together to get rid of unsightly wrinkles on your face. Made from 100% medical-grade silicone, our pads are developed using a platinum curing process which means they’re stronger and longer-lasting. Our anti-wrinkle pads are made in the U.S.A under sterile lab conditions and are reusable.

Hair Detox Masque $45.00



Travertine Spa Collection, a luxury brand of organic skincare products, aromatherapy, and fine fragrance. I would like to recommend to you our Eucalyptus Steam Shower Spray. Our shower spray line is perfect for the summer. Sit back and relax as eucalyptus envelops your shower turning it into a relaxing spa-like experience. 

A Pre-Shampoo Treatment. Mineral-rich Montmorillonite (French Green Clay) Is a natural, bio-organic way to cleanse your hair and remove oily buildup while avoiding harsh detergents that can strip your hair dry. This clay is green because it is composed of plant matter (kelp, seaweed, algae). Similar to a magnet, by adsorption, montmorillonite clay, is known to attract impurities. The result is soft and manageable hair.

Mix (using non-metallic utensils) 1 tablespoon of clay with 2 tablespoons of tepid water.  Apply to wet hair beginning at the roots and massage into the scalp. Leave in for 10-15 minutes.  For best results, do not allow it to dry completely.  For heat treatment, wear a shower cap after applying clay.  Rinse off in Shower and continue with Travertine Protein Shampoo and Protein Conditioner.  May be used as a spot treatment on hair ends.

Organic Purifying Facial Cleanser $21.99



Our mission is to give everyone access to safe, effective, and lovable non-toxic suncare and skincare products. We believe in living outside and enjoying the sun and not hiding from it.

The sun is the leading cause of skin damage but despite advances in science and cosmetics, skin cancer rates continue to rise and premature skin aging is prevalent. We believe this is due in part to poor quality sunscreens, misleading marketing, and the failure to educate consumers on safe suncare practices. To rectify this, we pledge to be consistent, honest, and transparent in our marketing as we pursue our goals: educate consumers, optimize product safety, quality, and cost, and earn your trust.

Our cleanser is crafted with Block Island’s crisp blue water and natural beauty in mind. That’s why our daily face wash features no harsh ingredients and is packed with antioxidant-rich organic and natural botanicals to remove build-up, impurities, dirt, and makeup.

Interview with Jewelry Designer Lizzy Klein

Hi There..... Are you a fan of original high-quality jewelry designs?

I bet you are. Maybe you’re more a fan of sustainable jewelry? What if you could combine this high-quality jewelry with sustainable jewelry? All I can say is keep reading if you are interested to know more. 😁

It's so great that nowadays you can find recycling in so many branches of fashion. When I think about it, it's something I also did when I was in my early twenties. 😀

My mom still had kept dresses from decades ago, and she agreed I could alter one of them and use it. She also had some wigs from lots of years ago, but they were only good for a laugh. 😄

It's such a pity I don't have pictures of me and my sisters wearing those wigs. I would love to show them to you, or then again, maybe not. 😜

One of the most beautiful things in the world I've ever seen or heard is people laughing, even when there seems to be so little reason for them to laugh. At least that's what D. L. Hughley said. 😍

Let's hear what Lizzy Klein, our 51-year-old jewelry designer has to say. She is the founder of mazi + zo



What kind of work do you do or what are you studying to be? 

I started my career in fashion, worked in digital startups for about 25 years, and founded a sustainable jewelry company in 2019.

Is fashion important to you? Why? 

Yes! I’ve always loved fashion’s power to inspire confidence, imagination, and ambition… Edith Head said, “You can have anything you want in life if you dress for it."

I also care about craft and materials and think of beautifully made pieces as works of art. I live on NYC’s Upper East Side and find browsing the boutiques on Madison Avenue as inspiring as the museums on Fifth Avenue.


What are your successes and how did you achieve them?

I’ve spent 25+ years working in the digital start-up world and have launched award-winning sites and apps that millions of people use every day. 

After years in the digital world, I realized I wanted to work with tangible goods and launched mazi + zo (my current biz) where we design high-quality, ethically produced, easy-to-wear jewelry. In 2020, the organization When We All Vote reached out to mazi + zo to partner on a VOTE necklace that raised a bunch of money for a cause I care about, so that was a highlight. And most recently (June 2021,) our Libra Zodiac necklace landed on a (web)page of Vogue ITALIA, which was the fashion thrill of a lifetime.

Is the name of the Brand important to you when you buy clothing?

Yes and no. There are a few designer brands that are my go-to's because they fit my body shape and style (Alaïa, Prada, and Alexander McQueen,) but I don’t shop exclusively for designer labels. I consider “cost-per-wear” more than brand name and will spend what might seem to some like a lot on a high-quality jacket/sweater/jeans/shoes that I expect to either wear often or keep forever. An example would be pricey snakeskin Celine sneakers, which I probably wore 100x a year, or a Dolce & Gabbana cocktail dress that’s still fab after over 10 years. To me, that seems more practical than fast fashion that falls apart after a few wears. 

That said, I love discovering new brands, both high and low. Quality and fit are most important to me in clothing.


Describe your personal style of clothing?

Most of the time, I go for a sort of personalized low-key polished style: I love effortless, monochromatic looks that incorporate shine and texture with “basic” pieces in luxe materials. If I wear something bright, it’s usually in a classic style and rarely a print (like a solid fuchsia simple shift dress or a neon orange pleated mini). I love metallics. And these days, I wear sneakers almost every day: current favorites are pristine Adidas Stan Smith's with a gold label. 

The low-key vibe carries over into mazi + zo’s jewelry designs: all of our minimalist gold and silver jewelry is designed to shine alone or stacked and layered. I have 7 ear piercings and I am usually wearing 7 different earrings and 3 necklaces and it still feels cohesive (and not overloaded.)

When I get the urge to level up, I mix in something from my collection of timeless statement pieces (like a gold Zadig & Voltaire jacket, Dolce & Gabbana shorts printed with oversized cherries, or a Roberto Cavalli purple suede fringed vest.) 

How did you find your personal style? Do you have a signature look? 

It’s evolving. In my 20s, I wore fitted suits with short skirts and high heels, my 30s were more fashion-forward with a lot of accessories, and in my 40s I drifted to a much more casual vibe (in line with the times). If five years ago you’d told me I’d hang up my heels and wear sneakers with dresses, I would have laughed, but packing is so much easier now!


Do you have an influence on other people’s clothing style?

I have a few friends who ask for my help to put together a special look or choose an expensive bag, but most of my friends have their own fashion sense. I love sharing fantastic finds with my friends (like Commando’s take on faux leather leggings… I wear these on repeat!) and one of my group chats is full of shopping links.

What are in your eyes the best trends at the moment?

An emphasis on sustainability and eliminating the hideous waste generated by the fashion industry. There are cool brands like NYC’s thesalting and Minimalist who are committed to designing and manufacturing in more sustainable ways. And there’s also a wider adoption of re-homing (re-closeting??) clothes for maximum wear via consignment sites like The Real Real and Poshmark. 


What are in your eyes the worst trends at the moment?

Bike shorts for anything but biking. 

What kind of fashion advice would you give us?

If you’re looking to buy quality, Instagram commerce is a danger zone as it’s wildly effective at triggering impulse purchases and “you get what you pay for” doesn’t apply: effective marketers can slap a cheap item on an influencer and price it at $50 or $250, so it’s worth researching a company and finding credible reviews rather than trusting their claims. The trick, of course, is finding legitimate customer reviews because it’s really easy for a brand to pay for online reviews and testimonials. Buyer beware!


Who is your style icon and why?

Elaine Welteroth (@elainewelterroth) wears a ton of color and takes her hair and makeup to the max, Laurie Ferraro (@laurieferraro) rocks everyday cool, Hallie Swanson (@halliedaily) reminds me that dressing up is a good idea, and Norma Kamali (@normakamali) has been fabulous for longer than I’ve been alive.

Is there something else you would like to share with us?

Choosing jewelry made with recycled materials is an easy way to prioritize sustainability without sacrificing style. At mazi + zo, we eliminate waste as much as we can by using recycled solid 14k gold and sterling silver, hand-making each minimal piece, and packing every order in reusable (and cute!) containers. Well-made jewelry is always in style and lasts longer than a lifetime, so our customers can feel good about their purchases.


Thank you so much Lizzy to take the time to answer my questions. Your jewelry designs are gorgeous. I love how they can be layered and combined.

Hope you like my blog.....Until next time.....Have a nice day

Interview with Fashion Influencer Christina P. Kantzavelos

Hi There.....  Are my woman's fashion fans here today? Can I tempt you with another Instagram Influencer interview?

I certainly hope so, because what good is blogging if nobody cares what you write about. You won't hear me complaining though, because my blog is still growing. 😍

How is your Instagram doing, because I hear many people complaining? Some Instagram influencers say they are losing followers instead of gaining them even though they haven't changed their tactics. Could be they have a lot of fake followers, and Instagram is working on removing those fake accounts at the moment. 😱

Oh my, that's a tremendous problem, isn't it? Nothing better than having some fake accounts, right? No problems with having to engage with them, because they don't return your likes or comments. 😎

Duh, no, of course not. I bet my next Instagram influencer agrees that engagement is very important. My star for today is the 32-year-old Christina P. Kantzavelos. She has 12.1K followers, which is almost twice as much as me. 😊


Do you have a day job? Full-time or Part-time? 

I am a licensed psychotherapist and journal author @beginwithintoday, as well as gluten-free food, travel, and health-conscious lifestyle blogger @buenqamino 

What made you decide to become an influencer?

Becoming an influencer happened organically. It wasn’t my initial intention. I just knew I wanted to share helpful resources with others, and my platform grew enough to warrant that. I am grateful to be helpful to others. 

How many hours do you spend on Instagram on average?

1-2 a day, a few times a week. I like to take breaks, as needed. 


Is fashion important to you? Why?

I live a creative lifestyle and enjoy finding a style that reflects this. Even if I am not feeling well, dressing up often puts me in a better mood. As I’ve gotten older, I learned about ethical and slow fashion and that became super important to me because we vote and make changes with our dollar.  

What are your successes and how did you achieve them?

I have two master's degrees, including an undergraduate and a graduate degree from UCLA. I started my private practice, and blog, survived Lyme disease, and so much more. My purpose drives my success, and I want to acknowledge privilege as well. 

Is the name of the Brand important to you when you buy clothing?

Not exactly, unless the brand is known for being sustainably minded. I am happy to wear brands that aren’t known instead of brands that are established but aren’t ethical in their practices. 

Describe your personal style of clothing?

My style is forever evolving and changing. Some days I feel like wearing all vintage, and other days, I feel like dressing up, or getting comfy in athleisure. Most days, I wear something in-between. I also love upcycled outfits. The one thing that’s constant is that my clothes are almost always comfy enough to sleep in. I am sensitive to various fabrics, and work from home, so I keep comfort in mind, while being camera-ready


How did you find your personal style? Do you have a signature look? 

I grew up being into indie and punk rock music, and that lent to an alternative style that has developed into what I wear now. Vintage, modern, funky, alternative, and cute. I like to say my style is what you’d imagine Kurt Cobain’s grandma to dress like. 

Do you have an influence on other people’s clothing style?

Often I get asked where I purchase what I am wearing when I am out and about, or when I post to my stories or page. I’ve also been told I’ve inspired certain outfits and styles. It's an honor each time. 

What are in your eyes the best trends at the moment?

Color blocking and monochrome outfits are fun! I love the mesh tops too. 


What are in your eyes the worst trends at the moment?

Hoodies under blazers and tractor boots. But hey, I don’t have to wear them. 

What kind of fashion advice would you give us?

Forget trends and focus on what brings you the most confidence and joy. And remember, that what you spend your money on matters. It benefits the folks making your clothing, the brand selling them, and your community. 
 

Who is your style icon and why?

I really love Zoe Kravitz’s style. 
 

Is there something else you would like to share with us?

You are already beautiful! Your outfit simply accentuates it.
