3:02 pm - Summer Is Coming!!
|
Okay I thought that I was going to one direction with the "Summer Diva" collection but it's turned into a total production that couldn't be stopped! LOL SO instead of the "Summer Diva" colection consisting of 10 eyeshadow shades, it's actually a whole beauty collection consisting of eyeshadow, tinted lip balm, roll on fragrance and whipped body butter. I know I know but the scent that has been selected to represent the summer is PERFECT!!!! Well it is to me anyways. :o)
Since the "Summer Diva" collection has transformed into something great, I'm going to run a little giveaway for one lucky lady to receive the complete collection. :o) Details on how to enter the giveaway will be posted soon, so be on the lookout!
Stay Beautiful!!!

8:25 pm - Gotta Brag!!!
|
|
Maybe this isn't good form to brag about your own product but if I am not happy with what I make, it's not worth making. So anyways, this past weekend our temps were in the triple digits... yes TRIPLE digits. I wanted to see how my lip balms would fair in the heat and I must say that they passed with flying colors. Not only were they outside in the heat, I actually had one in my pocket for the whole time we were out and it didn't melt in the least. If you have been afraid to purchase our lip balm for fear that it will melt easily, well fear no longer. Be sure to check out our Spring/Summer Collection of Lip Balms!

5:54 pm - New Updates from Ana Aya & Co.
|
It's a tug of war when it comes to adding new products to the Ana Aya & Co. line. The products MUST complement each other, be ALL natural and vegan friendly. This is where the problem lies in making lotion. Have you looked at the ingredients in your lotion lately? Did you know that it may contain mineral oil which isn't that great for your skin but I think the most disturbing fact that I found is about the preservatives that are used to keep the lotions in pretty, pristine condition actually contain parabens which are possibly CARCINOGENIC!! This is very scary because while I know it's not like you are "smoking" the lotion, you are basically rubbing into your skin which can't be too good. This isn't an anti-paraben post just a think about what you are putting onto your body.
I have researched high and low for alternatives and luckily came up with a few NON-PARABEN preservative because I strive to keep all Ana Aya & Co. products as NATURAL as possible. With that being said, the new lotion goodies will arrive when very soon!
On a different note, I'm really excited about the body butters. Why am I so excited you ask? Ana Aya & Co. will introduce the NEW whipped body butter line, just in time for the upcoming summer shorts season. They will be available in our Spring/Summer 2008 scents but there will also be two limited edition scents exclusive to our body butter only but you will have to stay tuned for that one.
Also arriving at Ana Aya & Co. is the limited edition "Summer Diva" eyeshadow collection consisting of 10 fun and sassy shades that will be available from May 30th until August 31st! So when the clock chimes 12 midnight PST on September 1st, the collection will be retired.
A lot is in store for you beautiful women in the next couple of weeks, so be sure to check back to see when the new goodies arrive.
current mood:  cheerful

1:32 pm - What I've Learned!!
|
I have learned that it's best to not only backup your sites but to download them onto your own computer in case catastrophes happen. If it ever happens all you have to do is upload them on your current web host or if you choose to use a new one, upload it there. I have seen it on various websites before but I never really paid it any mind but I have DEFINITELY learned my lesson.
One good thing that came out of all of this is that I got a new host and with my perseverance, I was able to get Ana Aya & Co. back up and running within in a week. LOL Oh I guess I forgot to mention that Ana Aya & Co. is back up and instead of a Grand Opening Sale, I'm running a Celebrate Summer Sale! So stop on by and pick up some new beautification goodies and don't forget that there is Free Shipping on ALL Orders within the U.S. and to Canada!

|

It appears that my web host has decided that it wants to no longer be in business and has disappeared taking my website with them. I am currently in the process of rebuilding my site and will update when it's completed and the sale is back on. In the meantime, you can purchase our goodies on Etsy. Thanks for your support during this time of rebuilding!

7:15 pm - Beauty Tip:: Baby It's Cold Outside!!
|
|
With the weather being so cold and blustery, we often times forget that we need to take care of our skin in the same manner that we would do in the summer. Maintain your skin regimes in the winter! Drink plenty of water and moisturize to keep your skin hydrated. Also exfoliate with a loofah or mesh sponge and your favorite sugar scrub. By removing the dry, dead skin it allows our new healthy skin to regenerate and breathe. I know this all may seem like added steps because we are just going to cover up our skin with a long sleeve shirt, jacket and pair of pants but it will not only feel good when you put those clothes on, your skin will love you for it and repay you with a beautiful summer “glow” in the winter!
