Our Parenting OC Bloggers discuss life and work in Orange County, fun things to do and the latest news in health and parenting.

Want to know the secret to a great DIY tan? Playboy Glitz Golden Glow Self Tanner!! For me, it completely surpassed all other self-tanners in every area. It gives such a great, instant tan that’s brown, not orange. And the smell? 

Women on the go are always looking for a way to streamline your makeup regimen.  Let us all welcome a new service called CryBabay Mascara. Do you want longer and fuller looking lashes without the fuss of applying mascara on a daily basis?

With the hustle and bustle of today’s busy world, women are juggling careers and family, while trying to look like a rock star doing it all.  Who has the time or desire to constantly touch up and reapply cosmetics products?  No one!  Fortunately, the beauty world has created a solution to keep women looking effortlessly flawless all day long-Primers.

What’s the secret to getting long, beautiful, thick lashes like Katy Perry and Jennifer Lopez?  Eyelash Extensions!  Now that I have let the cat out of the bag, let me tell you more about this fantastic beauty treatment. 

Now that a New Year is here, many of us are making resolutions.  It’s the perfect time to add some beauty resolutions to start the year looking great both inside and out.  

With winter in full swing and the temps dropping to what is considered freezing for Californians, I have had countless skincare consultations with the primary concern being: How do you keep skin looking its best during the winter?  Fortunately, there is a simple routine that can be followed that will leave your skin radiant, glowing and super hydrated. 

Although I consider myself a beauty risk taker, often being the guinea pig for new beauty treatments, I have never taken the plunge on my nails beyond my usual French manicure and pedicure.  On occasion, I would go crazy and have a flower added, but that is as far as I would go.  

All women love that feeling after leaving the hair salon with your hair perfectly coiffed with magnificent shine and bouncy volume.  It’s amazing what difference beauty treatments can do for our self-esteem and confidence.  

Recently, I was on a girl’s overnight trip in San Diego and brought along my skincare essentials to make sure I do not skip a beat with keeping up my routine while out of town.  As I began setting out my products, a friend said “I use Irish Spring to cleanse my face and don’t really use any skincare.”  

Let’s focus on skincare as my Ask The Experts article out in this month’s Parenting OC issue focuses on Fall Skincare.  I have been caring for my skin since I was the ripe age of 9.

My name is Manna Kadar, new beauty blogger for Parenting OC Magazine.  With over 15 years in the beauty industry, I have dedicated my life to not only having beauty be my livelihood with a cosmetics store chain and currently with my tanning salon & spas called Island Tan, I have made it a personal mission to find the best  products & services available to make beauty a breeze.
