Three Custom Color

This week we are having "Women of Radio" , keeping the seat warm while Kelly is away.

Today I glammed up Jade from Orlando with some Three Custom Color..

Three Custom is a unique cosmetic line started by three makeup artists with over thirty years experience under their belts.

Trae Bodge, Scott Catto, and Chad Hayduk, are the bad-ass superheroes of the cosmetic world.

Check this out:

You run out of your fave lipstick/lipgloss...this is the one...the one and only, that is YOUR perfect color.

The color that always insures you complements from slightly envious girlfriends.

You rush out to retrieve a new tube and... WHAT!!!????

 They have stopped making the color...YOUR color...YOUR perfect color!!!??.

What is a Beauty Ninja to do?

You go to www.threecustom.com , and the dilemma has been averted.

Three Custom has an archived library of thousands of no longer in the queue, colors .

Simply put, if you run out of your precious lipstick and cannot find it anywhere, 3C is gonna get it for you and save the day.

Not only can they duplicate your color but they also offer their own line of beautious shades.

Some of my faves are White Heat Lipgloss, Beach Plum Lipgloss, Rebecca's Favorite Creme Blush. I could go on but find out for yourself by checking out their site.

Some Like It Hot

As some of you may know, I am a huge fun of sizzling, hot, balmy, "I miss New Orleans", kinda weather.

Give me the sand and saltwater any day over  powdery mountains of snow.

However, the soaring temperatures have been a bit hellacious for my distance training.

Here are some suggestions for staying cool in these late summer days.

  1.  Drink before , during , and after you run. Do not wait until you feel thirsty, be smart and hydrate.    Your body cannot replenish liquids as quickly as it sweats.

  2.Take walk breaks early on,  instead of pushing it to the near end.  This will reduce heat buildup and reserve energy sources for the end.

   3. Get wet. Pour water over your head to keep cool. We lose about 70% of heat through the top of our head. I personally like to run through the neighbor's sprinkler systems...ssshhhhhh, don't tell.

   4. Wear the correct gear. Avoid dark clothing which absorbs the sun. (guilty)  Also, wear specific summer clothing that is lightweight. Coolmax has a great line of summer gear.

  5. Avoid heat/leg cramps by sipping on sports drinks to balance out the depleted sodium/minerals.

  6. Train smart. Listen to your body, if you feel dizzy then it is time to take a break, rehydrate and cool off.

Hot Weather Cool Beauty

All  this heat can be hell on the beauty regime.

Melting makeup  can give you the dreaded streaks...eeewwwwwwhh!!!!
