M.I.S.S. Michelle’s Beauty Pick and Tip of the Week: Ohhhhhhhhh…..You Can Touch This - Hair gets Hau-taaaaay at Tar-jaaaaay with L’Oreal’s Elnett, Heyyyyyyyyyy


 

This week’s pick is another fave I discovered at good ol’ Targaaaaaaay (Target). While browsing through the hair care aisle, a tall, gold, old school looking bottle caught my eye. I stopped to check it out, and upon closer inspection I realized it was L’Oreal’s Elnett, the keeper of elegant European hairstyles, which has not been available in the U.S. until recently, as L’Oreal has introduced this more ozone friendly American version in order be in accordance with the U.S. government’s environmental laws.

I like to think of Elnett as the chic version of Aqua Net. The hairspray’s packaging boldly states, “Disappears at the Stoke of a Brush”, which is no lie. Elnett gives your hair a very touchable hold, similar to Bumble and Bumble’s Does it All Hairspray (one of my classic faves), but delivers just a tad bit more hold (sort of like insurance, which ALWAYS gives me more confidence), while also protecting it from humidity, and infusing it with body and volume, a very European quality, and therefore slightly more glamorous than its American contemporaries. The color-treated hair formula contains a UV filter to protect hair from sun damage and fading, which is GREAT FOR ANYONE WITH CHEMICALLY TREATED HAIR, and/or for those that spend a lot of time outdoors.

I decided to give my apartment a new year makeover, since one of my resolutions is to get organized in 2008, and I thought I would start the process by putting my personal belongings away. While on my fist step to a more organized life, I unearthed a jar of brown sugar hidden under a pile of clothes in my living room. Some months back, I was helping a dear friend of mine pack up for her move to Portland, when she randomly gave this jar of brown sugar. I’m a firm believer in serendipity, so I made sure this week’s tip, my D.I.Y. Winter Body Polish, was inspired by this lost treasure.

I’m obsessed with vitamins and dietary supplements. And it was through my latest quest for lasting good health, that I discovered this week’s tip. Originally, I started taking Omega-3 fish oil to protect my body against heart disease, since it helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels. After a few weeks of taking the supplement, I was pleasantly surprised by the marked improvement in the texture of my facial skin, which seems to be moisturized from the inside out, feeling softer than normal, and looking very clear and radiant. I researched Omega-3 fish oil, and turns out additional reputed health benefits include: aiding in weight loss, stabilizing moods, and easing joint inflammation associated with arthritis as well. So I’m omega wooed, and completely smitten with my new healthy habit.
