Happy Halloween! Celeb costumes revealed!

We love seeing what celebs come up with every Halloween. It's often unexpected, and with certain famous folks donning incredibly clothing as a normal part of their lives, it's pretty cool to seem them amp it up even more!

Guess who?

That's right...it's Miss Klum dressed up as a monkey this year! Hard to tell at first, right? Guess that's the making of a good costume! She's got another one this year, she's wearing a "visible woman" outfit.

Never knew Heidi was so into anatomy! Check out the full look below.

Kim Kardashian was Poison Ivy

Katy Perry looked just GHASTLY

Snooki looked RArrrrrvashing at a party in Las Vegas. Anyone notice she looks like she just got the perfect tan? And check out those eyes! Those are some serious contacts!

That's not scary at all! Gwen Stafani in a Cinderella gown!

Meow! Bethany Frankel is Hello Kitty! The only difference is that Hello Kitty has no mouth... and we certainly can't say that for Bethany: fitness guru, mama, charity supporter and food star have her walking her talk!

\

J-Woww pimpin' it up as a gangsta! We haven't seen much of J Woww lately...nice to see that's she's still alive and kicking!

What do you think about these costumes? Let us know on our facebook page! AND there's still time to get tan for a party tonight, everyone! This is a must, especially for mermaid costumes, sailor costumes and any costume where you're showing some serious skin! It's healthy and great for you too, so come check out our locations here and schedule an appointment!

Your Skin Needs A Drink! Moisturizing 102

Thought you knew everything there was to know about moisturizing and dry skin? You could be wrong. In our last post, we covered the different ways you could help moisturize and protect your skin from the colder weather. Let's do a quick recap: It's really important to keep hydrated (but you probably already knew that), make sure you have a humidifier in your bedroom because we tend to dry out at night, don't take prolonged super hot showers and make sure your soap isn't drying out and that you aren't scrubbing your body so that it gets even drier. Our incredible moisturizer, Bodylicious, was our inspiration for this post, so make sure you come check it out! It has nourishing properties and ingredients, such as Vitamin E and organic aloe vera. It will make your skin soft and supple and keep your tan lasting even longer! It's a win-win for you and your skin.

Lesson #1: Don't misuse your moisturizer.
Don't be surprised...while we said it's important to use moisturizer with natural ingredients, it's just as important that you use it correctly. How? Make sure you put it on right after you shower, so the cream has a chance to soak in the water that's already on your skin. Your pores are more open at this time, too, so your moisturizer is even more effective. Want to know if your moisturizer is really effective? Put some in the palm of your hand and then flip your hand over. If the cream doesn't go anywhere, then your good to go.

Lesson #2: Clothing that gives you the creeps!
NO, we're not talking about bad fashion here...we're talking about itchy clothing. Sure, you may love that sweater, but is it really worth letting it aggravate your skin? Dry skin is extremely sensitive to irritants, which means that the more itchy that sweater is, the more likely your skin will be badly effected by it. Tips? Go with cashmere instead of wool, and cotton is always best to keep skin happy. Not ready to give up the sweater? Wear something underneath that will protect you, like a turtle neck or long sleeve shirt.

Lesson #3: What's in your Laundry? 
So this may seem like common sense, but remember that dyes and unnatural ingredients will sometimes affect your skin. It's not always the best idea to get whatever's on sale. Brands we love: Seventh Generation or EcoPath Laundry Detergent. Just remember to read the labels!

Lesson #4: Maybe your meds are to blame....
Many medications are known for drying out your skin, especially drugs for high blood pressure (for example, diuretics) and acne medications, such as retinoids. The best thing you can do is talk to your doctor, she may be able to give you a different prescription or change your dosage!


Lesson #5: Medical Conditions may be the culprit.
 Sometimes our outside reflects our insides. Hormonal imbalances or illnesses can effect our skin in surprising ways. Here's a list of conditions that may be effecting your skin:
Diabetes
Malnutrition
Hypothyroidism
Eczema or Psoriasis.
If you experience any of these issues and are also facing serious dry skin, make an appointment to see your doctor for expert advice on how to help your skin.

Your Skin Needs A Drink! Moisturizing 101

Read on for tips on how to prevent dry skin...and no, we're not going to tell you to drink water, we trust you know that tip already! 

This post is inspired by one of our new and fantastic products, Bodylicious Daily Moisturizer. It's supberb formula includes Vitamin E and Organic Aloe Vera, both which contain anti-aging and healing properties. We love it and know you will to! So, why is moisture so important, especially right now? Well, as you have probably noticed, it's getting much, much colder. The air is lower in humidity and it's windier- all factors that can lead to dry skin. And the drier your skin gets, the flakier and scalier it gets! Not only is this uncomfortable, it's not that pretty either. Good news though, it's perfectly treatable and preventable.
Other than using Bodylicious, there are some really great things you can do to prevent dry skin. Here are some tips to help you get on track to the best, sexiest and smoothest skin you've ever had!
Lesson 1: Get a Humidifier

Humidifiers are great for introducing moisture into your house, especially your bedroom, because you loose a lot of moisture as you sleep! Don't want to buy one right now? No problem! You can humidify your house simply by heating water on the stove and letting it evaporate into the air, or boiling water in your kettle and letting it steam out rather than whistle. And guess what? Humidifiers do a whole lot more than just make your skin look gorgeous: they're also known to help with breathing easy at night, help prevent and soothe sinus infections, and prevent colds and other viruses.


Lesson 2: Long, hot baths and showers, while lovely, are not your friend.

Why? Why is it that everything good in this world ends up hurting us or make us fat? Ice Cream, alcohol, staying up late...and yes, long, hot showers. Sad, but true. Look, we know you're not going to stop taking those hot showers when you really, really need one...but if you're trying to be good to your skin, it's best that you cut it out. Why? Hot showers wick away the protective oils on your epidermis, which is a good thing because that's where dirt likes to hang out, but prolonged exposure to hot water will completely dry you out. The solution? Take the heat down a notch and don't stay in there forever. Also, make sure not to take baths too frequently, and when you do, try using essential oils to protect your skin.

Lesson 3:  Soap is a slippery slope!
We know you might get grossed out by this, but a lot of dermatologists recommend only cleansing parts of the body that sweat--underarms, groin, backside, neck and sometimes the back. Why? Because most soap is not so great for your skin. It strips away protective oils, causing the skin to dry out and crack. What to do? Find a soap that's fragrence-free and all natural. Then, make sure to wash yourself gently in places that aren't neccessarily dirty. Think about it...if you work an office job, how dirty can your calves get in the course of one day? "Unless your a child or a ditch-digger, the only parts of the body that need soap or cleanser at all are the face, hands, feet, groin and underarms" says Dr.Vesna Petronic-Rosic, MD, and director of the Dermatology Outpatient Clinic at the University of Chicago Medical School. Listen, we know we're not going to get you to stop soaping up...we love our showers too! Just make sure your using healthy, natural soaps and being gentle with yourself and your skin.

Kim Kardashian Wedding!

Dress Number 1: Down the Aisle

Has anyone been watching Kim Kardashian's wedding on E? The two part special has been revealing all of the details about the wedding, and giving a behind the scenes look at preparations, execution and drama surrounding the event!

 Not only do we love Kim because she's so down to earth, honest and sweet, we also love that she takes care of her skin so well and chooses air brush tanning over baking in the sun, like so many other celebs. Our tanning guru to the stars, Anna Stankiewicz, has had the priviledge of treating so many luscious hollywood beauties to gorgeous, perfect tans. Using her expertise in shading, contour, tone and anatomy (she actually will adjust the tone of the tan based on where the sun will hit your particular body!) Anna makes celebs and our not-so famous (but still super cool) clientele look incredible.

So, Kim and Kris have been making lots of appearances today, one of the most notable being on Ellen, who is always so much fun to watch! 

Now that the special has aired, there's finally shots of the reception!

Check out Kim's dresses:

Dress Number 2

Dress Number 3

An honorable mention goes to Linsdey Lohan's dress, which resembled Pippa Middleton's dress at the Royal Wedding. 

Ok, so we won't give away anything, but here are some fun highlights from the E! Special :

1.) Kris really wanted to serve burgers and cookies at the wedding. The cookies he wanted, would have been "like the one's at the state fair". Aww, cute...did it really happen? Take your best guess.

2.) Khloe openly questioning Kris's intentions. You know, we really love Khloe for her straight-up attitude about...well...everything. Who wouldn't want someone like that for a sister? All we'll say is that she certainly has Kim's back...no matter what. 

3.) Kris's dislike for Christina Aguilera...who was Kim's top pick for her wedding music. Do they actually get Xtina to play at the wedding? And does Kris decide to just deal with it? 

And now...a little glimpse into the psychology of the Kardashians. Why do so many people love them? Why was Kim's wedding special the most watched show on E!, ever? It's a good question.

Well...one might say it's because everyone loves a good drama, especially with beautiful woman, hunky guys and lots of money. We know that a lot of it played up for tv...but why not live in the fantasy once and while? It's a good watch, if you're into reality tv. 

Want sexy skin like Kim? Come to Suvara! We know her secret...and we want to share it with you!
