Save Your Face with Shira Organic Skincare
I am always on the look out for new skincare products since my move to Vegas 2 years ago. I would describe my skin as normal to oily. But with this extra dry desert environment, I need something that can replenish the moisture in my skin. Shir-Orgainic has developed this one-of-a kind organic skin care line. It is used in spas around the world and is packaged in eco-friendly bamboo jars. It is formulated with super-fruits and saturated with phytonutrients, which hydrate and strengthen skin, stimulate cell regeneration, and protect against environmental damage.
Not only does the lotion feel amazing, it also smells completely delicious! I have been using the Blueberry Night Cream and I wake up refreshed. It has been a great routine to incorporate the Shira products into my rituals and I highly recommend that you try this. I am a big supported of independent brands that are putting a lot of thought into their product development.
Using natural products give me the confidence to wear light BB cream, or just a touch of concealer without full face makeup. Better skin means better health 🙂 It is important to take care of your skin/organs especially past the age of 30!
Blueberries are one of the most nutritious and powerful super-fruits due to their high levels of phytochemicals, antioxidants, Vitamins C and E. Blueberries are also full of amino acids, vitamins, and essential fatty acids. Blueberries help the body manufacture collagen which makes the skin supple and smooth. Using the Pure Blueberry Night Cream will help boost hydration levels making skin feel incredibly nourished!
BENEFITS:
- Powerful phytochemicals, antioxidants and humectants soothe and de-stress dehydrated skin
- Increases cell regeneration, detoxifies and improves skin moisture level
- Rich phyto-nutrients naturally regenerate and protect against free radicals
- Leaves skin silky, smooth, and soft
Shira Organic skin care products represent the finest all natural and organic anti-aging formulations available today on https://shiraesthetics.com -

The changing seasons can do a number on your skin. The solution? Cyantific Skin Care. Many have been turning to this amazing skin care line for its gentle, yet powerful ingredients. With the power of unique algae, these products protect, hydrate and nourish… leaving your skin looking and feeling vibrant!
The changing seasons can take a toll on your skin. Boost your beauty routine with blue-green algae to give you a healthy, glowing complexion! The blue-green algae used by Cyantific contain compounds that absorb skin-damaging UV light better than anything else known to exist in nature.
Cyantific Skin Care harnesses the power of blue-green algae to create its proprietary PhycoBoost™ formula, a targeted blue-green algae extract that contains amino acids, moisture-retaining carbohydrates and powerful antioxidants. Other gentle, yet powerful ingredients derived from nature are added to nourish, protect and hydrate your skin, making it look better today and protecting it for a better tomorrow.
Cyantific’s Powerful Line-Up:

Complete Anti-Aging Package: This complete set gives you the benefits of all three powerhouse products to nourish, protect and hydrate your skin.
Cyantific Skin Care isn’t just good for your skin, it’s good for the planet. Unlike most algae ingredients, PhycoBoos™ is made through an environmentally-friendly process without solvents or other harmful chemicals and our products are never tested on animals. Blue-green algae, the core of Cyantific’s products, are sustainably collected from the beautiful lakes of the Pacific Northwest. It’s time to give your skin serious sun protection, while making you look and feel remarkable.

Step 2: With dried hair, section the top section from ear to ear and secure the back portion of hair with an elastic band
Step 3: Part out a middle section for the first braid, braid that back all the way to the ends of the hair in that section
Step 4: On each side of the middle braid, braid 5 braids in a diagonal from the center braid back toward the original part, make sure that each braid is braided to the ends. For the 6th braid closest to the ear, part out a section and braid from behind the ear towards the front. These will hang forward, and get decorated with beads. Repeat on both sides of the middle braid

Step 3: With each side section, install 10-12 cornrows. Leave the ends of the braid loose to blend into the curly-hawk, that will be in the middle
Step 4: With both sides cornrowed down, Add the Cantu Kids Curling Cream, followed by the Cantu Styling Custard. Make sure all the hair is evenly coated and start large chunky two strained Twist.

Fashion Weeks’ Street Style Tendencies
When it comes to fashion, it’s difficult to say what exactly you should look for in trends. Sometimes it seems like the designers are all about functionality, other times it’s like they are trying to shock you and challenge the norms. There are also those designers who simply create styles that they find beautiful. Designers differ in their approaches and opinions, but street style is where fashion truly comes to life. We bring you street style tendencies from several biggest and most popular fashion weeks.
New York rocked the prints
It seemed like New York was all about prints! Girls wore different outfits, but they all had one thing in common – at least one of the pieces had some interesting print. With that in mind, whether it’s a vintage plaid shirt you discovered in your mum’s closet, a geometric print mini skirt you fell in love with, or a simple striped turtleneck that makes you look like you just came from the ‘70s, as long as you have a piece with a print, you’ll fit right in.
Paris was all about seduction
One thing’s for sure: Paris has always loved female beauty, and as the city of love, it’s only natural that ladies love to show off just how attractive and seductive they are. Long, warm coats under which you can spot a leather mini skirt and a crop top, skinny jeans, stiletto heels, thigh-high boots, wide belts that show off the slim waists, and oversized bomber jackets are all brought together to celebrate the beauty of Parisian women.
Milan loved it colourful
When it comes to Milan Fashion Week, the street style was bursting with bright colours and bold designs. A pink skirt and orange handbag, an oversized neon orange raincoat, vintage polka dot dresses with bright red shoes, and a retro combination of purple shoes and a mid-calf flowy skirt with a bright pink turtleneck and oversized glasses transformed the streets of Milan into a carnival. It seems as if nothing is forbidden and you can wear pretty much any outfit in any colour as long as you’re confident enough.
London inspired by the world
The streets of London were packed with people who weren’t afraid to experiment and incorporate different styles into their own, unique one. “More is more” approach seems to be working here, and it looks like there’s no way to push things too far: a blue suede dress with blue shoes and a blue coat? Why not?! Head-to-toe denim – pants, jacket, bag and a hat? Sounds good! Oversized everything – maxi dress, bulky ankle boots, and an oversized coat? Rock on! Drawing attention with bold combinations isn’t something bad, but rather something these ladies with unique styles enjoy doing.
Australia cherishes simplicity
Aussie women are known for their laid-back style and love for comfortable and versatile pieces. Boyfriend jeans, ripped denim skirts, flowy floral blouses, high waist pants and crop tops, and shoulder bags all speak volumes about the great love that Aussie girls have for versatility. One of the greatest surprises in Sydney was the focus on functionality and comfort when it comes to shoes. Everywhere you looked, comfortable Birkenstock Shoes from Australia were present, from simple slippers and sandals to sturdy leather ankle boots.
Times are changing, and today, street style is just as famous and important as the runway shows themselves. As anyone who has ever wracked their brains coming up with the perfect outfit for a special occasion will tell you – dressing to impress others isn’t easy. On the contrary, even models, designers, and fashion editors have their bad days and struggle to find inspiration. Learn from the best and find inspiration in the street style of the world’s most famous fashion weeks.
