10:03 am
you're going to put one foot on a straight line. step forward with the other foot. that's okay were working on your balance. its quiet alright if you need to step to the side. so one foot in front of the other and travel down the line. another balance exercise that's more challenges is on one foot. so put you near the wall in case you need for support. engage your abdominal, hold this for 30 seconds to a minute just breathe. last progress to step ups. so how do you feel. i'm getting my balance a little better. good. i can walk down stairs without holding onto the railing without fear of falling, i couldn't do that before. today anne feels better than she has in years. its been transformational for me.

10:05 am
look for classes where instructors are willing to talk to you and modify to you needs. most instructors are, you just have to ask. donna also practices pilates. pilates has really worked my core. i thought i had a great core. and you found out after doing a feel pilates classes. exhale curl down. which is why kelly recommends this low impact, strengthening workout for the boomer generation. do you feel better when you look in the mirror after you've worked out. i like the way i look. trying to keep my figure. and every lady no matter what her age wants to try to keep her figure. well my dad used to say if you don't watch your figure no one else will. i always think about that. i'm doc, my real name is joe bloom and i'm 71 years old, i've had 7 hip replacements, and am a prostate cancer survivor.
10:06 am

10:11 am
here's how you can add them to your winter wardrobe and all year long. what i love about hats gloves and scarves is they can completely transform an outfit. vintage boutique owners denise and tina agree you don't have to spend a lot of money to make an impact. its true you can have a wardrobe you can spruce up inexpensively with one or two hats. this hat is so on trend for the season. you'll see this look on all the ad pages for gucci and prada and i love it because wave pulled out that little mustard yellow from the pants and by coordinating the gloves and hat it gives a polished refined look. you need to make sure you pull it down far enough on your head. if you don't pull your hat down all the way it makes you look like you have a top hat and it doesn't look finished or stylish.
10:12 am
this is so stylish and we can thank kate middleton for this look, she certainly brought these back. some people have problems when they're wearing this, they put it on the top or back of their head its meant to wear cocked to the side. to perk up a plain black jump suit. start out with a square scarf like this. tie behind the need and then at the waist. uvula. you've got the same jumpsuit and another way to wear it. look at the pop of color on the scarf and the hat is so funky fun. there are so many ways to tie this scarf another way is this way. take the scarf to the back, cross it over, bring it back around. then take the same jump suite into cooler months with a different hat and sweater. this is such a fun fall and winter look. love the hat with a little leopard print.
10:13 am
and bare your burette in spring and summer as well. this has a unique feature because it has a headband here and it will stay on. when you're wearing a boxed hat play with it in the mirror and see what look looks best on you. jackie o is famous for the back of the head. some prefer it in the front. i think it depends on the shape of your face and length of your hair, so play with it. even play up your hats with pins. one thing you have to remember is if you're petite don't wear a wide brim hat because it will overpower you. this is a great way to wear a scarf. they're not always made for your neck. tie it on your purse for a pop of color. so what wave done here is wave taken the scarf off the purse and put it around her waist. and here she has a completely different outfit but it works on her because she's tall and she can carry it off.
10:14 am
it's a wider brim and substantial hat, but because she has the heath it does work. the key to this is the colors really work well together. everything has a little touch of orange. out of the scarf with the jacket and her shoes pull the entire look together. this is an artsy boho this scarf with the polished jacket it works together. you can use a hat and gloves to transform your little black dress. you don't always have to have your hats and gloves match, she could have put black with that and it would be equally as cute. this isn't good for everybody but if you were tall i would embrace it. this is defiantly an outfit and the hat really makes it. another accessory tip. don't be afraid to mix texture and pattern. the scarf is felt, the jacket is cotton, but it all works together.
10:15 am
when it comes to gloves either show a lot of skin or none at all. joyce is wearing a beautiful animal print 3 sleeved jacket, with a polished about this is chosen these. you wouldn't want a short glove with this cause you'd see the gap of skin. what also makes this fabulous is the cuff over the glove. elbow length gloves can be black tie and night time, or day time and dressed down. these gloves are actually a longer length but a way to make it more casual is to swish them down. and i love that they're green. it pops, makes the outfit so much more fun. and don't forget classic silk or satin scarves. this is another simple way to wear a silk scarf. just roll it and wear it under a jacket. pick up the brown from the boots and from the purse and it ties the outfit together. another way to tie this is keep it folded but this
10:16 am
time were going to go around the neck, loose like that. and another way to tie is to do a snap around the neck. it's amazing how a scarf can transform and outfit in the blink of an eye. you can put on gloves, hat, and or a scarf and you've polished an outfit. for more on these tips log onto livewellnetwork.com. up next on mirror mirror. we all love luxury beauty but. sometimes its better to take baby steps. something a little less expensive. the splurges and steals of rpep

10:20 am
and wave talked about it before. it's a derivative that uses led lights to solve some of the most common problems. designed to fight aging and clear up blemishes the full sized version can cost 250 dollars, but not there's a mini version at a mini price it's called the tenda zap and its only 50 dollars. not only is less expensive and you only get what you need but i actually think it's better at fighting blemishes because you get a little massage and a little bit of heat. women are always looking for a way to look younger now the latest greatest way to do that is combining active ingredients with a new delivery system. the leader is clariosonic. and they created the opal. it uses a special serum and a sonic technology combined with gentle massage to get the product to penetrate. it's a fountain of youth for about 185 dollars.
10:21 am
if you love idea of fighting aging with everything you've got but don't have 185 dollars to spend. try the zeno line rewind. you get a really good serum and you get a device that uses gentle heat and massage to help the product penetrated, the best part its about 40 bucks. for those who like stay put color lip stains are girls go to. most of them however have a matte finish and sometimes can be a little drying. wyasil has come out with a new product called a glassy stain. so you get the long wearing stain with a glossy finish. however its about 32 dollars. so if you love the idea of a long wearing stain and a glossy finish try mabolines products its very similar. and a ten hour stain gloss will only cost you about 10 dollars. most women won't leave the house without a dab of concealer. one of my absolute
10:22 am
favorites is from lancôme, it's a waterproof concealer that is so densely pigmented that you hardly need any at all. but it's about 30 dollars. so if this sounds like the right concealer to you but don't have 30 dollars try the sephora brand its 16 dollars and will give you similar results. christian dior has come out with a new product that i'm really excited about. it's a heated lash curler that can be used before or after mascara with little chance of burring yourself. this product is brand new and is available at sephora. if that's really not in your budget but you love the idea of curl in your lashes try sephoras brand. it's about 16 dollars and there's also a travel size for 12 dollars. one of the hottest trends in makeup right now is a metallic accent. but because you don't want to go overboard start with a liner. one of my favorites is from urban decay. it's a liner with beautiful pigment and it gives you sparkle and
10:23 am
staying power. it's about 20 bucks but if you want to try the look for less you'll get the same liquid looking finish and you'll get the same amount of sparkle and pigment but you'll get the ease of a pencil which is much easier to use this liner is six dollars at walgreens. sometimes it's better to take baby steps, try something that's a little lower cost before you decide it's the right trend or technology for you. for a list of these products log onto livewellnetwork.com. coming up, so of course your closet can't be 20s and not have fringe the statement pieces to pull gatspy off when mirror mirror returns.

what i love about this great gatsby 20s trends is you can go to thrift stores and vintage shops and make a day of it. stylish ashley alen says gab a girl friends and look for key features. start with feather, ornate jewelry, art deco. lace, chiffon and neutral. softer more romantic is better also looking for fringe and the deep dark blacks and ruby reds. this look is one of my favorites the beautiful embellishment on this is gorgeous and its so ornate and i pulled it out with a vintage bag and smoking slipper or flat that has embellishment on it. i made this look bold and exciting with heavy accessories, the art deco
10:27 am
earring in ruby, the ring in ruby, and the shoes in ruby suede velvet. i also paired it with a hat with a print to give it an edge. so of course your closet cannot be 20s and not have french. i paired it with a french shaw that adds a pop of color the black dress. the clip on earrings, eyeliner and lipstick and a long string of beads. of course your closet has to host feathers when i look at this look i think grace kelly, soft colors, delicate fabric, drapy, and of course the feather sleeves which makes this oh so glamorous.
10:28 am
here i paired a channel inspired tweed jacket with a boe dress, and paired it with a casual shoe for a day time look. notice the hemline on this dress its very funky and fashion forward. the 20s women started experimenting with different shapes, cuts and fabrics and had fun with fashion. another characteristic of this twenties trend is men's wear. if you weren't wearing the frilly fem look you were wearing pants and jackets. here we have a great neutral jumpsuit with a fringe jacket. layered the looks and added gold jewelry. i love the 20s trend because its razzle dazzle, its everything glam and more. wear a little or wear a lot but always remember to make it your own. for more log onto livewellnetwork.com.

10:32 am
looking for some fabulous outerwear pieces this season? well i've picked out some of favorites. alright. kristen she is also wearing a fantastic cape. okay so capes are huge this season. another big color for this season is orange. the thing i love about this color is it's neutral but it pops. as you can see it's really flowy it's fun, it's casual. you can wear this indoors or outdoors. if you're going to wear a cape and there's a lot of volume with the cape you want to make sure your outfit underneath is form fitting. here we have a nice sweater tucked into a pencil skirt. orange tights and brown boots. it looks fantastic. gabriela's up next. okay. how cute is this jacket? one of my favorite jacket looks this season is one with a shaw collar. a shaw collar is one that goes down over your arms down to your elbows. one of things that i like about this is that is does add a little bit more
10:33 am
volume of top and so if you're someone whose concerned about your lower half this is great because it can kind of do out a little bit. gives you a little bit more volume up here to go along with that bottom half down there. what's great about this is that it cinches in at the waist it does have a little bit of a flare so it's very, very feminine and then also it's too toned; so it's something you're going to do a lot if you're going to see a different colored sleeve. yep this is actually a part of the jacket right here. a great look this season is a faux fur collared jacket. you can see this really great brown leather jacket paired with a pair of brown leopard leggings and black boots. the browns don't have to match. i think people concentrate so much on trying to be matchy, matchy with your browns. not necessary if you want to make a statement this jacket will do it and this is a really good casual option. this isn't the dressy jacket this is going to be the one that you wear when you're running your errands, meeting your friends, looking fabulous.
10:34 am
if you want a cozy sweater for the cold weather here's a great option it's a great native american print. we're seeing a lot of these right now and it's a shaw collar so it's a big collar, it's kind of slotchy and fun but if you notice it buttons and it fits the waist so it shows off your figure still. also a lot of neutral colors so if you're going to choose a print and you want to be able to wear a sweater like this a lot make sure it has neutrals. here was have a pair with a black shirt, great orange pants not too matchy, matchy and brown boots. the tuxedo jacket definitely is having its moments right now. it's one of those pieces that i think should be in your closet forever and now we're like taking it up another notch. if you want yours to be a little more trendy get one like this that has studs on the shoulders. so it's got a little bit more funk and edge to it and we like a little edge. we can see the statin collar which make it that classic tuxedo little longer. we just paired it with all black.
10:35 am
it's great for a girls night out. leather detailing is all the rage and of course it's fantastic on a tuxedo inspired jacket with the leather collar. we paired it on top of a printed outfit. pairing prints can be really, really difficult. this works and the reason why is one, we have a similar color; so we have the blush in the top and the blush color in the bottom. as well as the black in the top and bottom. second, you want to do a small print with a large print; or you want to do a harsher more defined print with a more flowy, more faded printed like the ones we have right here in this skirt. this works, this looks fantastic and another tip you definitely want to belt a flowy shirt and skirt with a tuxedo jacket on top because you want to show off that she has a waist here. one of the things i love about coco chanel is that grey quilted detail that she has in her bags and her clothes and you can see that right here. so here we have a fuax leather jacket and it's got that quilted detailing. it makes it more feminine and it also is a piece that you can have in your
10:36 am
closet for a really, really long time because everyone loves coco chanel and we've been loving her for like a long time. it's very rare that we see a line wear a bandage but it's a very feminine fit and so we did a little bit of color with the black color blocking and then just popped it with this jacket looking fabulous. so one of my favorite things to do to a dressier dress like this is add a vest on top. vest are great outerwear pieces to have. you can wear them outside, you can wear them inside, you can wear them all the time and this give something dressier a little more edge. it's a faux leather, has this faux wool effect to it and it's just cool. give all the girls a hand. they did a fantastic job today. made a lot of changes in a short amount of time. for more tips log onto livewellnetwork.com. coming up, oh my goodness tamika this is amazing. her skin is so soft and such a good glow.

for years the only way women would limp locks could get long lasting volume was with a perm; well the next generation is here and women everywhere are saluting the american wave. my hair is fine and it's limp. i want body, i just want the curls to last all day. my hair is really, really long i just want to be able to get something that i can wake up curl it, crunch it and do something to it and get ready to go. possible hair wishes?
10:40 am
not anymore. salon owner david michael says if you have flat hair the american wave is like the american dream. it utilizes modern ionic technology and what it does for us; it gives the stylist a tool that we can now create cascading waves, expanded textures and even full blown curls. it last about three to four months and then slowly kind of drops on its own. david says it's gentler then perms of the past; however if you're heavily highlighted more than 25% you would definitely want to consult with your stylist the process comes in three style options. today andrea is trying out the beach wave; while becky is getting style support. it all starts with a quick shampoo, then it's time to wrap and roll but the roller is one of the things that makes this treatment different. it's a soft tool so when
10:41 am
you wrap with a softer tool you don't get the line of demarcation as it grows out. they come in different sizes and each style is wrapped differently for becky's style support. what phillip's doing right now; he's sectioning her head, he's doing zig-zag parting so that you don't create any hard lines; he's rolling the soft tools on base, so what that's going to do is create all the volume. meanwhile andrea beach wave is wrapped off base or not all the way to the scalp. it's wrapped all down, around the bottom of the head so that the top of the hair stays straight, stays smooth and so all the curls are going to be on the end. the first wraps around the face are always wrapped away from the face. the blue ones are smaller, the pink ones are larger; so what that's going to end up being is much more natural curl, much more natural looking wave. after the hair is wrapped it's time for the solution. it is called the deodorizer.
10:42 am
we add that to the solution, and what that's going to do is really cuts out all of the odor. once we add the activator to it, it keeps up. it's their magenic, the bottle then becomes hot. touch that, see it's warm? and now we start to apply. want to make sure i get really good even saturation from the solution. it can process from five minutes to twenty minutes is the maximum amount of time to have the product on their hand so i'm going to give it one more minute and continuously check. meanwhile she is ready to go. becky's ready to rinse. the solution is thoroughly rinsed out then a neutralizer is applied, sits for ten minutes, gets rinsed off and all the rollers come out. back in the salon chairs both ladies get diffused so they can see their new texture. so now this is the finish look, this is the beach
10:43 am
wave and at this moment she could go out, it looks fantastic and she could let it air dry. this could just be her look for the rest of her day. it's going to last this really beautiful wave. so this is the first look that we can do and then i'm going to blow it out and show her the volume and the waves you get with the blow out. this is the finished blown out beach wave look. you can see all the volume; it's going to last all day long. i love it. it looks so great. i feel like a secret model. just the volume, the body of it, everything, it's just perfect. now that i have this i feel like i could just get out of the shower scrunch it if i want to and if i feel like giving it the more oomph look just blow dry it and it'll look like this and becky is all smiles when she has a look at her textured style. this is a great look you can do it this way, you can scrunch, you can do this when you dry your
10:44 am
hair and it's a really easy way to do it. so this is just one of the looks. then she sees how the style support supports her blow out and this the final product. you see all the product, there's no teasing here. i mean her hair is very, very flat, very limp before now it's got lots of volume, lots of texture. oh i love it, it's just so much volume and texture it just feels so good. it's going to feel good that i can now walk outside and it won't go flat on me like before. i'm just looking forward that'll stay with me all day long and i'm so glad i have it done. i feel good. it makes me feel good inside too. it makes me feel pretty. i think hair has been so straight for so long everyone's concentrated on getting curly hair to be straight. now we have a product that is going to be able to take the fine, straight hair client and give them that bend and give them that option that we haven't had since the old school perms. for more information log onto livewellnetwork.com. coming up island beauties best kept secret is out. it gives us a very beautiful shine.

10:48 am
we go running. well now we can go running to monoi oil. monoi oil was born in french polynesia tahiti. it's an exotic cosmetic oil. it's a base of coconut oil but actually blended with tahitian tiare flower and that's where the oils come from. it's special because the oils been manufactured the same way for over a thousand years. monoi is slightly more expensive than your standard oil but you get what you pay for. you feel better, you look younger and i don't think that there's any girl that wouldn't pay for that. mainstream beauty lovers read the benefits of monoi and their lips products, skin care lines, bronzers and hair treatments. it gives your hair back elasticity, it repairs your ends. makes it stronger. it helps it to grow longer, it gives it a beautiful shine and i think that it's something that we want from any and all of our hair products. it prevents dehydration and that's the thing that causes wrinkles and so we want to put monoi everywhere we don't want wrinkles and i think
10:49 am
that's just about everywhere. today earths nectar founder tamika fletcher and i are making our own monoi oil. the closest flower in the united states to the tahitian tahiti flower is the gardenia. the first step is to cut the gardenia flowers from the stem and then rinse them to make sure there's no insects or any product on it. once it's done put it on a paper towel to dry. the next step is add it to a mason jar and pour pure coconut oil over the gardenia flowers. you should sit it in the window three or four hours a day everyday for a month and by the end of the month you have a beautiful finished product; monoi oil. okay, so this is the jar from a month ago; so let's open it and see how it is. oh my gosh it smells so good. it creates almost like a second skin.
10:50 am
it feels awesome and smells so good and it was see easy, so easy. it's like two ingredients and a couple of steps, you do have to wait a month but good things are worth the wait and you have the peace of mind of knowing that it's natural and you made it yourself. all by ourselves. what in the world can we need yogurt, coconut and monoi oil for? we are going to make the best hair mask. is it going to be fabulous? it's going to be fabulous; it's going to make your hair soft, improve elasticity, make it shine; what else could you want? nothing let's do it. all you need is one cup of yogurt, 4 cup of coconut milk, and two tablespoons of monoi oil. mix them all together and we have a perfect hair mask. add it to damp hair. leave it on about 15 minutes, rinse it with luke warm water and it was a simple as that. as simple as that and you know i think this works in my opinion better than just about any retail

could want and you can customize it. it's like legos. you can have all of your essentials; so your foundation, your bronzer, your blush, your lip gloss, eye color and you can configure it anyway you'd like. another product that can change the way you look is shade shifter eye shadow from kat von d. so the really cool thing about this eye shadow is it's kind of like a hologram; so it looks a little bit different each light. if you want a sheer look then you can just apply it with a sponge that's provided and you want a little bit more intensity pick up your product on the sponge and then spritz it with water. every woman on the planet is looking for the perfect lip color. one of my favorite new products; one that we're having a lot of fun playing with is from dior. dior added lip glow. it's extremely moisturizing and it goes on clear and then immediately starts to react with your skins chemistry and the ph. as time goes on the color gets a little bit more intense but really it's

only going to develop to your natural lip color but just with a little bit extra and to make it even better. it has spf 10 a long with the perfect lip color everyone's looking for the perfect foundation. there's a new product from a company called my couture that is unlike anything else on the market because it's actually paper; so your foundation comes in a little booklet of sheets. with several shades to choose from plus blush and bronzer as well. one of the technologies that basically improve the overall toning textures of your skin is an led treatment. it's available at med spas and doctors offices but now you can do it at home. the device is from silk'n it's called facefx. the way you use it is on clean skin and you use it in circular motion; so you're applying light pressure in a circular motion for about 5-7 minutes in an area. rachel says consistency is key and it may take a few weeks to see results.

this kind of device is great to use once you notice problems but it's even better to use before the problems arise. one of the complaints that we hear all the day long at the salon is my roots are showing and i don't have time to get highlights as much as i need to. there's a new product from rita hazan and it is literally a blondes best friend. while most of the root touch up products on the market are for dark hair this spray powder helps blondes temporarily hide over grown roots. there's a new curling rod from sultra. the bomb shell cone. what makes this product so special is that it has a grip technology so when you wrap the hair around the cone it will stay where you put it; which will make your curl a lor prettier. the other great thing about this product is that it's ceramic and it goes to about 360 degrees so it's really not going to damage your hair. if you're familiar with oleander you know it's a poisonous plant but

company are discovering beauty benefits. one of my favorites is a new product called miriam. this product is actually made from the oleander plant and so many women kind of shut down thatthey have to do anything more than wash their face at night. with this product you wash your face, leave your skin a little bit damp and then apply about four to five pumps directly on your skin. as it dries it will tighten up and then you go straight to bed and then in the morning you rinse it off. your skin will look younger over all, it helps with hyper pigmentation, course eyes, tone and texture and it is ideal for the women who really doesn't want to have a big long routine. so here at the salon we've had a lot of experimenting with these products. we think you're going to like them. for a full list of these products log onto livewellnetwork. com and search cool new products. that does it for this edition of mirror, mirror. don't forget we want to be your facebook friends, so find us at facebook.
