Linda Kammin’s products contain the fruits of her labor, or better said, her passion. Linda has been seeking natural alternatives for hair care since 1974. Her cutting edge products make a difference after just one shampoo.
This shampoo is truly amazing at bringing back the full beautiful potential of your hair. Noticeably improving quality texture and shine after one shampoo. I use Linda’s Daily Shine Shampoo; it comes in multiple scents. My favorite is the almond orange but the tangerine is pretty awesome too!
Good Hair Day works best for silky fine hair, color treated hair and for those who are experiencing hair loss due to the over use of chemical conditioners. Often times with the over use of conditioners, the hair can feel stretchy, ultimately resulting in hair loss most often experienced during the shampoo. GHD tones the hair. The results are shinny, healthy hair with lively tension. I love this product – it works!
Linda offers a range of products from hair treatments, body care and skin care. I encourage readers to take a look at her website, and give the hair care products and other products a try. www.lindakammins.com

These are must have summer pieces. The cover up comes in several colors; my favorite is the tangerine. This gauzy light cover up is easy to pack and take with you on your next beach holiday.

I was recently at the mall and noticed all kinds of knock offs of one of my favotite jewelry designers. It is such a bummer to see original creativity and art turned into commercial trinkets. But what can you do. I suppose imitation is the greatest form of flattery.

Bring a little St. Barts into your life! We love espadrilles – even flat ones…..
It may be hard to think about spring and summer right after Christmas, especially with all the Christmas sales going on right now. But I saw these and they brought me back in time. They are fresh, timeless and comfortable and a must have for spring/summer. We’ve been wearing wedge espadrilles for years now, but the flat ones have yet to make a come back. THEY ARE BACK THIS YEAR! Wear them with jeans, shorts or flirty summer dresses. They will be a great alternative to your fabulous summer heels.

A customer wrote on Amazon.com “This plan REALLY does work! As someone who has watched my weight my entire life, I feel like a new person after following it. ” (Lindsay Metz)

Kick-start weight loss and boost beauty with an easy 4-day cleanse and a delicious 4-week antioxidant-based program from CBS’s The Early Show nutrition contributor In The O2 Diet, nutritionist Keri Glassman translates cutting-edge science into an easy-to-do program that will leave dieters energetic, healthy, and beautiful— inside and out.
The diet is based on the ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) scale, a calculus developed by the USD A that measures how well a food protects against free radicals, the culprits behind many forms of cancer, heart disease, and symptoms of aging. Research demonstrates that eating a high- ORAC diet increases the antioxidant power of human blood 10 to 25 percent, strengthening memory and cognition, preventing cancer and heart disease, improving skin, and aiding in weight loss.
