We’re Having a Party! Everybodies Swinging… Sibu Beauty Twitter Party!
Can’t you hear me singing in my best Rod Stewart voice?
So Yes! I am hosting a Twitter Party for Sibu Beauty! I am thrilled, and so hoping you will all come to support me, learn about the benefits of Seabuckthorn Oil for both Inside and Outside beautifying and to win PRIZES of course! Plus, you will get to chat with friends, and make new ones too!
Not only can you take Seabuckthorn oil internally because of it’s amazing Neutroceutical properties, but Sibu Beauty has also formulated it into amazingly effective Skin Care!
I have two simply amazing panelists. Our first is Amy of Buddha Nose .
Amy Galper is a New York City based shiatsu practitioner who founded Buddha Nose, Ltd. in the spring of 2004 to encourage her mostly female clientele to “be still and breathe.” Recognizing the connection between the energetic dynamics of shiatsu with the essential oils of aromatic plants Amy created handmade beauty products in her kitchen to remind her clients that beauty is directly affected by our feeling good.
Amy graduated from The Ohashi Institute and completed the Institute’s instructor training program and studied aromatic plant medicine at The Ojai School of Massage. She is a member of the American Organization of Bodywork Therapies of Asia, and OASIS, a pioneering organization whose purpose is to support organic and sustainable Health and Beauty consumer goods by establishing workable industry standards for organic and sustainable manufacturing. Buddha Nose won BEAUTY WITH A CONSCIENCE AWARD FOR their USDA CERTIFIED ORGANIC LIP BALM!!!! From Natural Solution Magazine…
Several years ago, Amy experienced a “healing crisis” and was compelled to consider her illness as an opportunity to shift her perspective and make changes in her life. Changes included letting go of habits, relationships and lifestyle choices that were negative and unhealthy. One year later she went into remission.
Follow her on Twitter @BuddhaNose
My Second Expert panelist is Shelly of Joyful Girl Naturals.

KohGenDo Cosmetics Review and 2 Day Giveaway
Do any of your watch The City? Well my dear friend Julie and I do, and yes, we are both in our 30’s. Albeit early 30’s but still we are totally guilty of watching the guilty pleasures of both The Hills and The City. Even though neither of us had discussed this, until a couple weeks back!
Well you know Miss High Class, Socialite Olivia Palermo? (yes, she would be the one minus manners) Dyana Aives is Olivia’s make-up Artist, and she did Olivia’s make up for the VMA’s last month. Dyana spoke about what Olivia had to say about her look with KohGenDo, “(Olivia) raved about how beautiful her skin looked and how natural and bright her complexion appeared with the KohGenDo products.”
This is what Aives used:
Yellow Makeup Color Base
Moisture Concealer
Aqua Foundation in OC-2
(with a touch of Moisture Foundation in PK23 for color match)
Natural Lighting Powder
Fresh Face Cheek Color in Caramel Bronze
Lipstick in Nude Beige BE04
KohGenDo’s Mission is to “Bring Out the Beauty within You” KohGenDo has been able to achieve this by always remembering not to hide the skin, but to enhance, and bring out the best qualities.
I was able to try KohGenDo’s Maifanshi Moisturizing Foundation. With Jojoba seed oil, Shea butter, and vegetable Squalane they have made a foundation that refuses to crack up during wear. It hydrates my skin, but doesn’t leave me an oily mess. This is most likely going to be my go to make-up this winter.
I found my color match with 123, but as you can see here, there is a great selection of colors.
I have two colors sitting here next to me, that I want to give TWO Prissy Green readers a chance to try! I have 113, and 013 just waiting to be worn! One for each winner! These are a $55 value!
To win, head over to KohGenDo, and tell me another item from the Make-Up line you would like to try. This contest ends Saturday 10/3 at 11:59pm EST.

Pevonia Neck & Bust Duo! Review and Giveaway
I actually realized how much sun damage I have gotten on my chest after Craig and I’s trip to Fort Whalton this past May. More Freckles yes, but worse then that, just icky wrinkling, and rough skin.
Well the timing is perfect right now to mend any sun damaged skin! The sun tanning season has left us, and now it is time to repair! (I am not endorsing getting fried over the summer, and then trying to fix it in the winter!)
I was able to try both of these, and I was pleased with the results. I have only been testing them out for a short 2 weeks, but I can already see and feel how much more moisturized my neck and chest are becoming. In fact, I thought it was doing such a good job, that I decided to let my mom take it over. She has always worried about that area, and I thought she would see some pretty great results.
In the short time I used it, I did feel like the wrinkling that has been starting was looking more plumped up. In just two weeks!
The great part? It is a duo, and you only have to use it once a day! Pick your poison, morning or night, makes it so simple!
Restore Neck & Bust Concentrate & Restore Neck & Bust Cream firms and tones your delicate neck, bust, and décolleté/chest. A potent blend of Kigelia Africana, Elastin, and Vitamin E, reduces visible signs of aging, smoothes texture, and improves elasticity for a visibly, youthfully restored neck and bust/chest.
Benefits
- Intensive anti-aging treatment
- Fights against premature skin damage
- Hydrates and firms
- Proven visible results
- Tones and Firms
- Strengthens Elasticity
- Smoothes Lines
October starts tomorrow, and with it brings Breast Cancer Awareness Month, for this Pevonia is offering a 20% discount off their Neck & Bust Cream, and their Neck & Bust Concentrate! Head over to Shop Pevonia, and then enter code: Supportbca1009 to get your discount!
And you know Pevonia! They want to give one Prissy Green Reader the chance to try this out for herself! You will get both, Restore Neck & Bust Concentrate & Restore Neck & Bust Cream. A $130 Value!
To enter, go to Shop Pevonia, and tell me another product from the line that you would like to try out and why.

Help a Friend Win, and You Get Chances to Win TOO!
I have a friend, Tiffany over at Babes and Kids, that is trying to win a Washer and Dryer. All she needs is easy comments. You can literally say anything. Words would be better then counting out the ABC’s, but you could do that too.
Simply by commenting on her post, you will be entered to win a $20 Gift Card, plus you can enter to win her $50 Amazon gift Card giveaway once you comment!
It would be a sweet personal favor to me! Her washer leaks, and shakes uncontrollably, and can’t be fixed! This contest is good until October 2. Please help Tiffany win!!
Don’t comment below, save it for Tiffany at Babes and Kids!!
I do hope Tiffany wins, but I have to say my personaly opinion of this contest? is that Twittermoms is a joke, and this contest is so flawed, that one person has to be using auto generated comments. that is why I am working so hard to let a non-cheater have a chance!!
Some Helpful Acne Tips, and an Update on My New Regimen
September 30, 2009 by Karissa
Filed under Info You Want to Know
I figure it is a great time to update you! Last week my skin was a WRECK. I have no clue what it was, if it was the whole “getting worse before better”, hormones, or what! But I also admit, one spot was from me picking… But in my defense, I had a non inflamed white head, that has been sitting there forever (months) and saw that it was closer to the surface… So yes, I cleared it, but got a icky ol scab from it. **dout!**
I had not previously been using my Clarisonic, but I added that back to my routine. I use the sensitive/gentle brush, and I use it at night with the Clear & Smooth Natural soap
only. It really seems to help give me a more even exfoliation. The problem I noticed with my Carley’s Clear & Smooth Kick A** is that it doesn’t seem to give an even exfoliation. I have never been a fan of walnut shells for exfoliation, and I really wish this formula used jojoba beads instead.
I have continued using my Alaskan Glacial mask once a week, or even twice if I seem oily, but I am also using the Carley’s Acne Mask once a week too. I really did find that it helps the old stuff go away. I am thinking this might be week 4? It can take up to 2 months for a blemish to appear, so who knows!? I have also started doing my Clarisea Soaks twice a week.
My skin does look a lot clearer right now. And i an almost get away with just throwing on my 100% Pure Tinter Moisturizer alone. I just need a couple spots concealed which is not a huge deal, since I am prone to dark circles under my eyes anyways.
(forgive my zombie like look, these were taken at 5:30am…) Overall I would say I am having a pretty good success rate with Carley’s. He did tell me it might take 6 weeks to really see results, so I no complaints here!
A few random, but important Acne Tips!
One quick tip for pregnant women if you are starting to break out, beware of what Pre-Natal Vitamins you are taking. Most of them contain a lot of Iodine, and you want to beware of that! here are a couple you can talk to your doctor about.
- Duet DHA – Rx only along with Omega 3 Fish Oil Supplements
- Stuart Natal Pre-Natal Vitamins (which are over the counter).
I am not sure if this is true for all vitamins, I checked mine, and they do not contain any iodine. But check yours too!
Not just for pregnant women:
Going along with the whole Iodine thing…. Watch the peanut butter. Or find a peanut butter that is salted with Sea Salt. Ack, this has been hard for me. And watch what you salt! If you are a major salter, switch to sea salt! Not only does it contain better nutrients, but it doesn’t contain Iodine. I think this may be the reason people think fried foods cause acne. think about it, when was the last time you had anything fried with out salt on it? 
I know you have heard about taking Zinc for acne? Well yes, this is true, but the problem is that you need a specific form of Zinc, and it is not the Zinc that is contained in most supplements. The one I have found is by Source Naturals and is called OptiZinc
OptiZinc
OptiZinc
Take Fish Oil
L-Lysine. I have taken this Amino Acid off and on for years, but never for acne. I always took it for pesky fever blisters that I would get on the inside of my mouth. Usually from stress or eating too much citrus/tomatoes. Take 500mg twice a day. It helps to repair old acne. I am not aware of whether it helps to keep acne at bay, but whenever I have a nasty blemish, I take this, and it seems to make them go away twice as quickly. You can get this pretty cheap at most drugstores.
L-Lysine
I don’t support the products at this site, but this sheet telling us about what level of pore clogging/comodegenic ingredients is invaluable!
Oh, and the last thing…. Not sure how I feel about this one, but did you know that what you think are blackheads on your nose, are really just sebaceous filaments. They will never go away. They are basically oil glands, and are meant to be there. Now don’t ask me why the lord did this to us, but an actually blackhead is raised up off the skin.
I guess I believe it, since no matter how clear my skin has ever been, I have had them. Although I do think they can get worse depending on what products used.

Go Girl Energy Drinks! Sugar Free! Review
I don’t drink Energy drinks very often, but whenever I do, I am always struggling to find one that won’t give me a 
sugar crash. and again, this isn’t so much a “green” review, but I love what they do, and sometimes i need a pick me up!
The Go Girl Sugar Free Energy drink is not only sugar free, but also contains a plethora of the B Vitamins plus Inositol, Taurine, and Garcinia Cambogia. (see the nutritional label) The Garcinia Cambogia is Super-Citrimax® aka Garcinia Cambogia is extracted from the South American garcinia cambogia, it contains standardized levels of hydroxycitric acid (HCA), which has been clinically shown to suppress appetite and inhibit fat production.
The drinks are delicious, the original Go Girl not too sweet to drink during the morning hours! And the Go Girl Bliss is a peach tea energy drink. The caffeine from Yerba Maté tea leaves gives you that get up and go without the jitters. Yerba Maté evenly distributes the caffeine through your body, making way for that blissful feeling.
Go Girl GLO is a refreshing pomegranate and star fruit mix with Aloe Vera and Vitamin E to boot! Who said that an energy drink couldn’t help with your complexion? GLO also has calcium, Super Citrimax®, and CoQ10 – a dietary supplement that benefits that heart and mind.
And you aren’t just putting bucks in a bricks and mortar corporation, but also helping a great Cancer mission!

Trident Layers Review
This is a pretty random review for me here at Prissy Green. Not green in any capacity, but I do chew gum, and I love these new flavors!
I am a pretty avid gum chewer. And so is Craig. For me, it is a need to do more then one thing, or more then 6 at even given time. This takes a pretty easy spot, and requires no brain power! lol!
Trident Layers is an exciting product for Trident® as it features flavors from recent fruit trends and introduces a new and unique layered gum format.
Trident Layers is made with real fruit flavor for an unbelievable taste experience! It has three distinct and visible colored layers that make it as great tasting as it is fun to look at.
Wild Strawberry & Tangy Citrus
Green Apple & Golden Pineapple
Although both flavors are bright and delicious, I would probably choose the Green Apple & Golden Pineapple as my fave! You can taste the pineapple and the green apple individually and intermingled.
Save 75 Cents by using this coupon for Trident Layers!
