“Finally, here is a skin care line that is inspired by and responsive to the seasons, so your skin can adapt seamlessly to nature’s cycles.” – Perianne web site
As we dive full-force into spring, I’ve noticed that my winter skincare routine isn’t going to cut it much longer. I apply the heavy moisturizer I used through the cold months, and I feel like I need to mop it off with a paper towel 20 minutes later.
It’s time to switch from 3 different kinds of heavy creams to a toner and a light moisturizer. I started my search on the Internet, and thank goodness! I ran across what is probably the most genius beauty invention since the false eyelashes.
Let me introduce you to Perianne skincare. Perianne has specific lines of products that correlate with the seasons, so that your fall/winter routine and spring/summer routine work together in harmony, without failed attempts at finding the next great brand. Best of all, the products are all natural and organic. Way to go green, Perianne!
Here’s some of what founder and creator Cora Michael has this to say on the Perianne web site:
“No single line offered what I needed, which was basically two versions of itself: one for spring/summer and one for fall/winter. But switching products and brands too often led to unpredictable results, and at worst irritation or allergic reactions. My skin was always confused, and the cost of trying all those new products was high!
I created Perianne to answer these problems. Finally, here is a skin care line that is inspired by and responsive to the seasons, so your skin can adapt seamlessly to nature’s cycles. This is especially important in today’s world, with climate change leading to more extreme and unpredictable shifts in temperature and weather.”
Right now, only the fall/winter line is available for purchase online. I’ll be checking back often to see when I can buy the spring/summer line! Once I’ve tried it, I’ll give you all an update!

Looking for a quick and easy way to create a formal up do? We can show you how in a few simple steps! You can also watch a video tutorial of this style.
Here we have Becca; she has gorgeous hair and needs some up do ideas to make her wedding photos special.
If you have someone with a lot of hair like Becca you need to start by placing the back sections of hair in pony-tails. If you want more volume on top you would back comb the hair prior to putting it up.
Next put a touch of pomade in the remaining hair. Take a section of hair underneath the bottom pony-tail and place it across the head, securing it with a bobby pin.
Do the same on the other side.
Start taking sections of hair and make loop shapes, securing these with bobby pins as well. It works best to tame fly-aways with a touch of hair spray along the way.
Continue the loop design around the head, checking symmetry along the way.
After you have completed the back section, take some sections from the front, pull back loosely to create volume on top and secure.
Do you have the advantage of having long, swooping bangs that can be shaped like Becca has? You can use these to create a wonderful, elegant curve to this up do by securing all the bangs to one side.
Now, don’t forget to use plenty of hair spray. This style has to hold through hours of weather, mingling, dancing and photos!
Isn’t she gorgeous? Who wouldn’t want to look like this on their wedding day?
Chi Nei Tsang is an entire system of Chinese deep healing that makes use of the energy flow of the five major systems in the body: vascular, lymphatic, nervous, tendon/muscle and acupuncture meridians. With this practice, one is able to increase the energy flow to specific organs through massaging a series of points in the navel area. Chi Nei Tsang frees the energy blockages in the navel and then guides the healing light energy into other parts of the body. Chi Nei Tsang was brought to America by Master Mantak Chia.
