Pony Dust Cosmetics Getting a Face Lift and Do Over

Pony Dust Cosmetics is getting a huge make over. After weeks of thinking about it we have decided to give pony dust a fair well. It has not been an easy decision and a much detailed task to change over. We  are working diligently to get everything up and running as quickly as we can.

A few weeks ago I woke up to a realization that I hate the name of  Pony Dust Cosmetics. When we first came up with the name I thought it was very cute and so me. As I love horses and my hair salon is named Pony Tails. Since the products were to replace the commercial items I was carrying in my salon I thought it fit. Now though I have come to feel the name or style do not fit. It is not a child's product and I really want it to be classy and sheik. So we changed to Pure Bath & Beauty You can find us listing new items in our Etsy Shop now and we will have our new site up by next week that can be found here for now. We hope you all will still follow us and hope to continue to bring you lots of great items and information.
Thank you so much for your patience as we change everything over.

Lotion With a Twist

We have been very busy this winter developing new and wonderful items. One of our favorite that has been tested all winter long is our Solid Lotion Sticks. Yes these are a solid lotion that go on with the warmth of your skin but yet do not leave a greasy feeling behind.

Wonderful for very itch skin, eczema, psoriasis, and dry skin. Great for every day just getting out of the shower I use it on my legs and arms that can become very dry.   I love these for my feet too but be careful when you have pets you can feel a bit tared and furred if you do this and crawl into bed.
The Lotion Sticks come in many scents or unscented. If you don't see one listed please ask us and we will get it in for you.
Also added is our Lumber Jack scent. A little more masculine but also a great scent for both males and females. The scent is of cedar and cinnamon and smells so good. This now comes in our shampoo, conditioners and lotions. Try some you will love it.

Spring In Eagles Mere a Turn for the Worst

We had a turn for the worst here in Eagles Mere as  I woke up this morning to 2 inches of snow. Yes that's right snow. We will not be without it until May I know but this is getting old.

We have been teased with a few nice days and it has left us with a bit of snert left over. I guess the snow this morning covered those dirty ugly piles over a bit but now everything is wet and muddy. I have so been looking forward to global warming and I really am not feeling it.

A bit of a brighter note and a reason I have not posted as much as I usually do. I met my half brothers for the first time 4 weeks ago. It was a wonderful union as I have known about them but never met them until now. Long story that I may tell some day. It is nice having them in my life and they are already helping me with my Pony Dust Cosmetics and spreading the word about it.
My one brother Mike has a really screwy work schedule but best part of that is he can come and help me make things. He really had a great time helping me make my bubble bars and some jewelry too. It was great fun working with him and I look forward to doing it again very soon.
I will continue with the 10 things that make you look younger and get everyone caught up on the new items I have and will be listing in my shop.
This weekend I will be at the Williamsport high school spring craft show and looking for those who are close to come and see me.
I will be working on my display the next few days and finishing up labels to get ready so be patient I will get back to my blog as soon as time allows. In the mean time Happy Spring!!

5th Way to Look Younger

Ok I know many will disagree with me but I am going to let you all know gray hair is a sure way to age yourself.
It doesn't matter if you are 27 with gray or 78 gray adds ten years.

With that said I have seen a few people who look good with their gray hair but are probable much younger than they appear to me.
My great aunt Florence who is 87 years old in May wanted to grow out her color because of the money. I agreed to let her do it. After a month or so we gave her a perm and trimmed the last of the color off. We set and styled her hair. She took one look in the mirror and said Oh MY I look like and old lady. The next tuesday she called and asked if I would have time to color her hair on her usual day.
Now be sure if you are coloring your hair and are older 40 or more it is time to lighten up too. A shade or 2 lighter than what you used to be is good. Even use a color that is temp that will blend gray in.
I know money is a big issue when it comes to having a professional hair stylist but think about a few things maybe you can do to save when going to the salon.
After finding a reputable salon or stylist ask if a cut comes with any chemical services. Find coupons for your salon.(always go to the same salon unless they suck) do you have a profession you could share?
Do you do book work? Are you an accountant? Are you above doing some cleaning? Some salon owners would be happy to trade some services for a few colors and cuts a year. I know I would love that. I actually have a client that cleans for me and I trade for hair services. It never hurts to ask. Some salons will give you a discount for sending people to the salon or stylist. Ask your stylist if you get them 3 client if she could cut some off your next color.
Is time your problem? Most salons are open in the evenings and Saturdays. If early morning is better for you see if you can book that slot. Most beauticians work a long day and are happy to make an appointment for your convenience. Be sure if it is not a usual time to leave a nice tip for them to accommodating you. Take the hour and half to get pretty with shinny colored hair. It will make you feel good and look younger.
Just ask my Great Aunt she will never stop coloring her hair. At 87 she is not ready to look like an old lady yet. LOL
If you must do your color yourself choose a color 2 shades lighter than your darkest part. It is always easier to go darker but not so easy to go lighter once you color it. Try a temp color if you like it go permanent for a longer lasing effect.
