Wellness Week 2012 (March 19th-25th)

During the week of March 19th to the 25th, hundreds of gyms and spas across the United States will offer discounted memberships and health services through the Wellness Week website. Various health and fitness experts will also be speaking about ways you can live life a little healthier.

I'm not usually one to participate in mass media and corporate sponsored events, but this sounds so beneficial that I can't help it! Since I already have a full year gym membership, I won't be paying for any of the special gym and spa offers. I will, however, be enjoying the plethora of health articles, tips and advice offered throughout the week! I guess it's just a little morale boost for my effort to get fit for the Spring.

As a part of Wellness Week, I've decided to take the wellness pledge over at SpaFinder.

I pledge to:

• Change my BREAKFAST
• Choose to MOVE
• HYDRATE
• Connect with NATURE
• Make my SLEEP a priority
• Embrace the power of TOUCH
• Give myself the gift of SILENCE

I also want to amp up my yoga practice and get my diet on track so that I can comfortably fit into my Spring dresses and shorts again. :)

Sigma Spa Solutions Kit Review: Cleansing & Polishing Tools Attachments

This review is for the new attachment heads for the Sigma Cleansing & Polishing Tool. Click here to read the review for the original Sigma Cleansing & Polishing Tool.

The Sigma Spa Solution Kit contains three attachment heads for the Sigma Cleansing & Polishing Tool: Extra soft Brush, Massager and Exfoliator. You can also purchase the Spa Solutions Complete Kit ($59), which combines the Spa Solution Kit ($29) with the Cleansing and Polishing Tool with its three original soft, medium and firm brush heads ($39). If you don't already own the original tool, I would recommend getting the complete kit as it is $9 cheaper and the new brushes make it totally worth the price.

Now, you know my original complaint with the Sigma Cleansing & Polishing Tool is that even the softest brush head was a little too tough for everyday use. The Spa Solution Kit contains an Extra-Soft Brush recommended for gentle cleansing of extra-sensitive skin. (It is a silicone-based brush.) I definitely agree that this new brush will be good for even the most sensitive of skin. Even when I break out, I can safely use it all over my face without inducing any pain. 

Sigma Performance Eyes Kit Review

The Performance Eyes Kit contains eight new eye makeup brushes and was designed for precise application of liquid, cream and powder products onto defined areas of the eyes. The brushes are sold only in this kit, so you can't buy them separately - yet. It's unfortunate that the brushes are not sold individually because even though $55 is a decent price for eight quality brushes, I wouldn't say that all of the brushes are worthwhile.

My favorite brushes are the E16 Tightliner Liner brush and the E11 Eyeliner brush. (Is it obvious that I'm an eyeliner kind of girl?) The brushes really help me make me eyeliner thin and natural-looking. Anyway, most of the brushes are just miniature versions of their original eye brush, which is good for precision, but unnecessary if you already have the larger brush set. For example, the E36 Blending brush is almost identical to the E35 except that it is less dense and feels much flimsier.

I apologize for the shoddy photographs but the camera is currently in shop.
