Keep Competition Flawless

Image
Competition by tophercouture   A few beauty key pieces that help me get stage ready. 1.   Tan Touch-up Kit:  I always suggest bringing touch-up.  Things can happen and sometimes the rushed nature the shows; you won't have time to wait in the host tanners line.  I bring the DIY Pro Tan Kit complete with buffing pads.  I've had issues pop up with no time to stand in the touch-up line.  This is great in those instances and allows for a flawless color come stage time.  I also use the Get Buffed regardless of whether I'm getting ready for a show or not.  Keeps my skin soft and on point year round. 2.   Make-up must haves :  Just because you have a make-up artist for a show, does not mean you should leave your make-up bag at home.  It is unlikely you will have time to go back and forth to the MUA for touch-ups, so be sure to have these key pieces- lip gloss and matching liner - I don't know about you, but come...

Gym Date: Quickie

Gym Date: Quickie by tophercouture   I love going to the gym!  It is not a job I do just to compete.  It is a lifestyle I live.  There are moments where I do not need to tote four plus meals, posing shoes & suit, extra this that and the other thing.  I love my custom  Fox Bowler  complete with rhinestones [discontinued on main site] from 6 Pack Bags instead of my Renee Tote for the quick gym trips. This two meal system is perfect size!  I carry the essentials: [clockwise]- Harbinger work-out gloves Blender Bottle Pro Stack Melaleuca Amino Blast for intra & post work-out Melaleuca Elevate Protein Low Carb, Low fat, No sugar for post work-out Melaleuca Peak Performance Pack for Women- convenient AM/PM packs means less pill organizers Optimum Nutrition Amino Energy as my pre work-out EOS Lip Balm Harbinger Weight Belt Melaleuca ReNew Lotion travel size A good alternative option for the Fox is the M...

Amino Boost

Image
Amino Blast by tophercouture   With training, comes recovery.  It is important to 'lift your performance to a higher level' with a glutamine and branched-chain amino complex.   Before I go over some cut and paste about the product, let me tell you why I like it. I have tried a plethora of BCAA/Amino powders and pills.  What I love the most about this product is its mix-ability.  If you have tried 1001 different brands like me, you will notice that a lot of the complexes leave a film, chunks, or froth after shaking.  This Amino Boost has zero!!!  I know I won't get an Amino-stache and that my full serving is going into my body.  No scrapping the sides or adding more water. I also really love its crisp and refreshing taste along with a serving of glutamine.  There are quite a few brands out there that do not include Glutamine which means you usually have to buy it separately.  It will cost you almost double per serv...

PS: I Love You

PS: I Love You by tophercouture on Polyvore “Our strength grows out of our weaknesses.” ~Ralph Waldo Emerson I never thought I’d want to kill myself.  All my life, I’d been a strong, independent woman, building a business from home, raising two wonderful sons, and staying happy and positive throughout.  If you’d told me I’d one day consider taking my own life, I’d have laughed and said, “You’ve got me confused with someone else!”  But after twenty years and two sons together, my husband and I decided to split up.  So what? Separation and divorce are commonplace. You just cope with it like everyone else. I was strong, so not coping would mean I was weak. But it hurt and hurt and hurt. And eventually I just wanted to stop. I couldn’t put my boys through that, but I couldn’t see another way out. So, while pretending to everyone that I was fine, I thought about it. Seriously. WHAT DO YOU PRETEND?   Coping with everything life throws at you is tough....

Gonna Have an Earth Day

Being Eco is not just about recycling bins, grocery totes, and planting trees; it is also about incorporating an eco chic wardrobe and accessories.  One of my favorite totes is a burlap bag from Panama my mother brought back for me.  It was actually the container for Panama Coffee which I pair with some tattered capri jeans, converse sneakers, and an organic tee.  Be creative and recycle and reuse even in your closet.  Gonna Have an Earth Day by tophercouture featuring mel shoes
