Summer House Season 7 Episode 14 Fashion

I was convinced this would be the last episode of the season, but thankfully it wasn’t. It was, however, jam packed full of summer styles from boating ‘fits, to dinner ‘fits, all the way to bedtime ‘fits. There was of course a dash of drama sprinkled in there per usual. Overall I think this was one of their calmer and more fun weekends, so far anyway. And the fact we were able to gather most of the looks below is the icing on the (missing) cake!

Sincerely Stylish,

Jess

Frizz and I are like two (unwillingly paired) peas in a pod — you can’t have one without the other. As a curly girl who colored her hair wayyy too many times in high school, has an unhealthy attachment to her blow dryer, and doesn’t always bother to use conditioner, I’m a magnet for unkempt flyaways. Factor in the hot, humid NYC summer weather, and I’m basically a frizz ball the second I step outside. However, as a super competitive person who hates losing, I refuse to let unruly frizz win. I’ve already started on my journey to reversing the damage, packing my hair routine with nourishing hair oils and hydrating masks. Still, I found myself growing impatient that my mane wasn’t sleek and shiny. Luckily, I found a solution that works on the spot — Living Proof’s No Frizz Instant De-Frizzer.

Living Proof

When I read the name and saw the keyword ‘instant,’ I knew it had to come home with me. Date nights, work events, Zoom meetings, and running errands are still a thing — no matter the state of my hair — and I don’t want to wait around for my locks to finally be cooperative to be frizz-free. Though I’m typically skeptical of products that promise fast results, I was ever so hopeful due to my personal connection to the problem. I followed Living Proof’s instructions, holding the pre-shaken canister about six inches away from my dry hair, spraying in a sweeping motion from roots to tips. Nervously, I smoothed my hands down my hair in the same motion as the spray. Before I could look, I also ran a comb through my mane, as my waves can get tangled pretty easily. When I turned to look in the mirror, I was very pleased with what I saw. My hair — which, as you can see in the before photo, looks pretty frizzed out — was now significantly less frizzy and much softer than before.

I’m not the only girl on the curl spectrum to fall in love with the No Frizz Instant De-Frizzer, which contains over five nourishing hair oils that smooth strands. One happy shopper wrote, “I have very curly frizzy hair, and this worked amazingly well to smooth things down. I sprayed it on after styling, and it just ‘works.’”

Another reviewer praised the product’s ability to fight frizz without causing a greasy-looking appearance, saying, “This is a “dry” spray that doesn’t leave your hair wet — very important when you have curly hair, and you wear it straight! It leaves your hair so soft and shiny — it’s unbelievable.”

Considering that I value getting rid of frizz to be priceless, spending $32 on a hair product is super reasonable to me. Even though a little product goes a long way with this canister of magic, I’m stocking up now so I never run out. Head on over to Amazon’s Beauty Hub with me and try Living Proof’s No Frizz Instant De-Frizzer for yourself.

Shoppers Are Putting Off Haircut Appointments After Trying This Serum That ‘Transforms Long, Frizzy Hair’

Have you been finding it harder to focus these days? Is your memory slipping? Remembering names and dates has become a challenge; your brain is experiencing more fog? As one of my friends once described it, “I feel like I am losing my edge.”

Are You Laughing About Your Bad Brain Days with Your Friends, But Secretly Beginning to Panic?

We see cartoons everywhere poking fun at senior moments. And sadly, it seems we have grown to expect aging minds to be demented minds.

Well, I don’t know how you feel about this kind of humor, but I don’t find anything funny about demented brains.

My mother, her mother and two of her sisters suffered with Alzheimer’s. And one of my dear friends is in the late stage of it as I write this. Her husband has been a hero, remaining strong, and determined throughout her decline. But he is exhausted, and hospice has been called in to help.

I have seen first-hand the sadness and pain this hideous disease causes to family members. It’s a slow, cruel disappearing of a person you once knew.

I witnessed my mom’s early stages of dementia as she frequently lost her keys, told the same stories over and over again, got confused with her directions, blamed and accused others of stealing her jewelry, had lost the capability to make dinner for my dad and wasn’t sure what she’d eaten for lunch only a few hours earlier.

I vividly remember one day when I noticed she wasn’t sure which of her four daughters I was. And, eventually, I stood by her bedside tears running down my face, holding her hand and knowing that she didn’t recognize me as one of her daughters at all, or why I had come to the hospice house to visit her.

We all have loved ones who have struggled or are struggling with brain illnesses… whether it be dementia, anxiety, depression, addictions or other mental illnesses. It is not a pretty sight.

I remember when I took a science class in college and our professor brought in a brain for us to examine. It was soaking in formaldehyde. From the outside, the brain looked like pale mush. It was a bumpy looking 3-pound organ, about the size of a large grapefruit but it looked like a large pinkish-gray walnut.

It had the consistency of margarine. There were many folds and creases, and, according to our professor, it was supposed to be soft and squishy. Frankly, I found nothing what so ever attractive about it.

And besides the physical appearance of our brains, we have also developed a number of unattractive beliefs about these organs:

• The injured brain cannot heal itself.
• The brain’s hardwiring cannot be changed.
• Aging in the brain is inevitable and irreversible.
• The brain loses millions of cells a day and lost brain cells cannot be replaced.

Initially, It Appears There Is Nothing Beautiful About Our Brains, Doesn’t It?

Here’s what medical correspondent Fergus Walsh wrote about his first experience holding a brain:

“When I picked up the human brain in my hands, several things ran through my mind. My immediate concern was I might drop it or that it would fall apart in my hands…. Second, I was struck by how light the human brain is…. The intact human brain weighs only around 3lbs (1.5kg) – just 2% of body weight, and yet it consumes 20% of its energy…. It was only after I’d got used to the feel of the brain in my hands that I could then start to wonder about how such a simple-looking structure could be capable of so much.”

I found myself wanting to learn more. Instead of turning away from it, I wanted to have a more up-close and personal view of this soft and squishy 3-pound, walnut-looking, grapefruit-sized organ. Each step forward found me becoming more fascinated.

I decided to delve deep. Initially, I volunteered to be a ‘lab rat’ in a brain study done by our local University. Soon after, I set about becoming certified as a brain health coach.

After reading dozens of books, watching a plethora of webinars, attending every summit I had access to, listening to podcasts and learning about new research being done; I was hooked!

Our brain not only interprets the world – it creates it.

Everything we see, hear, touch, taste and smell would have none of those qualities without the brain.

I must tell you, I have been absolutely blown away by the miraculous and mystic power of our brains. I have learned to appreciate the magnificence of our beautiful brains and the critical role they play in directing day-to-day life.

The Brain Is a Tricky Thing and for Most People, Understandably Shrouded in Mystery

I now cherish my brain. I don’t make fun of it anymore, and I do my best to give it my tender loving care. And yes, I now teach my grandchildren about their beautiful brains.

In all my studying of the brain, the biggest “aha!” for me was the knowledge that by taking responsibility and changing some lifestyle habits, we can change our brains. No matter our age! Now, how awesome is that!

We Can Literally Rewire Our Brains

Yes,

• The injured brain can heal itself!
• The brain’s hardwiring can be changed!
• Aging in the brain is not inevitable and not irreversible!
• And lost brain cells can be replaced!

I’m sure we have all pondered about what our life might be like in later years. And we can’t help but look at our genetics. I know I certainly do. But what I have come to learn about genetics is that it is not the determining factor… our lifestyle is.

According to Austin Perlmutter, many of us have a misconception that whether or not we get Alzheimer’s or dementia is out of our hands. And this is an incredibly destructive idea. Why? Because it’s simply not true! He explains that by making a few tweaks in our environment and lifestyle we can prevent Alzheimer’s.

Are You Up for a Beautiful Brain Makeover?

In her book, Beautiful Brain, Beautiful You, neurologist Marie Pasinski, MD begins with this:

“In the search for that magic lotion or potion that will make us more beautiful, I’m here to tell you that the answer lies inside your head. That’s right – your brain is the key to improving every facet of your life. […] Your brain is your essence, and it is also the essence of your beauty. By enhancing your mind, you can feel more energetic, creative and alive – all of which makes you more beautiful.”

Don’t you love that word ‘essence’ to describe our brains?

What has become crystal clear to me in my continuing study of brain health is that every day we are confronted with choices about our lives and our brain health. We can choose to mindfully make healthy brain choices, or we can choose to make unhealthy choices. That’s it.

So, let’s do it. Let’s get a brain makeover!

I would love for you to join me and take on the challenge of improving your brain health, your memory, your focus and your mood.

You are never too old or too young to have a beautiful brain day!

Let’s Have a Conversation:

What preconceptions about the brain have you grown up with? Since then, which of them have been proven wrong? What do you know about the brain today? If there was a way to give your brain a makeover, would you give it a try?

Do you enjoy hiking? Many women our age find hiking enjoyable. There’s no better feeling than sliding into my hiking boots and setting out to lose myself (not literally) in nature.

Hiking is an excellent activity for us for several reasons. It can help improve cardiovascular health and strength, which can help prevent age-related conditions such as heart disease and osteoporosis. Hiking also provides a low-impact workout that is easy on the joints, making it an ideal form of exercise for those with arthritis or other joint issues. It also offers a chance to get outside and enjoy nature, which can help reduce stress and improve mental health.

Do you enjoy hiking? Have you hiked any of these trails? Do you plan to hike the trails mentioned in the article? Tell us about it in the comments below.

When it comes to makeup and skincare, few do it as well as the French. I mean, just look at how life-changing every CeraVe product is (BTW, did you know they have a new chemical exfoliator that’s already getting rave reviews?). So, when I stumbled upon a moisturizer that shoppers call “magic,” I wasn’t surprised at all.

According to shoppers, Avène’s Hydrance Aqua-Gel Cream is a true do-it-all product. It can act as a daily moisturizer, overnight mask and under-eye gel. The lightweight cream is jam-packed with anti-aging ingredients that even out the look and smooth the feel of skin. It’s so effective that one shopper on the brand’s site said it’s “the best [moisturizer] I have ever used. 56 and I look 36.”

The reason this anti-aging cream is so versatile is because of its heavy-lifting ingredients. It’s packed with hyaluronic acid to plump and hydrate skin, and it also is made with cohederm, a trio of skin savers known to restore your skin’s barrier while preventing water loss. Also worth mentioning: the vegan formula is designed without parabens, soy and other prominent allergens.
