Opti Crystal – Eliminate Those Dark Circles

September 6, 2011

Katina is one of our fantastic Estheticians at our downtown milk + honey spa. She has been working as an Esthetician and natural Nail Therapist for more than 15 years. She explains how to eliminate those dark circles from under your eyes.

Purchase Opti Crystal online at shop.milkandhoneyspa.com.

Come into the light!

The dark circles under your eyes are a cause for worry. In an attempt to attain a flawless complexion, these dark circles are difficult to accept. Some basic facts will help you understand where these pesky rings come from.

The presence of dark circles is reflective of our inner health. It could be due to deficiencies of vitamins such as B6, B12 or vitamin K. It may also be a deficiency of minerals in the body.

The most common causes of dark circles are:

  • Stress and continued hours of work with insufficient breaks
  • Lack of proper sleep, reducing blood circulation
  • Drug abuse, smoking and alcohol
  • Genes (thanks Mom!)
  • Aging

If you wish to have a bright, spotless face, these dark circles need some attention. Here’s a tip that will help the discoloration fade away with time. Invest in a good professional product. Our favorite is the Opti Crystal by CosMedix. This chirally correct eye serum is a potent combination of protective properties with collagen and elastin-stimulating reparative ingredients. It is the ultimate eye serum (food for the eyes) and a favorite among Spa Partisans. The liquid crystals replenish damaged, thinning skin around the eyes while alpha lipoic acid and growth factors work to reduce the look of fine lines. This lightening, tightening and brightening product is very easy to use and also great for puffy eyes.

August 17, 2011

Austin Fashion Week is coming AUGUST 20-27!

Austin Fashion Week is quickly approaching and milk + honey is proud to be involved. Each of our locations has paired with a local jewelry designer with events taking place during the big week. We interviewed the designers to find out why they chose jewelry design, what piece of jewelry every woman needs and what they are most looking forward to during fashion week.
See what they had to say!

Briolette Jewlery, by Nicole Martinez and Jayne Malasko, is one of the jewelry designers paired with milk + honey. Come see Briolette Jewelry at our event next Tuesday the 23rd from 6-9pm at our milk + honey Spa in the Hill Country Galleria.

Briolette Jewelry

Why did you want to start your own jewelry business?
Briolette designers, Nicole Martinez and Jayne Malasko, formalized their lifelong passion for art, beauty and nature by coming together to design jewelry. After much enthusiasm from friends and family, they founded Briolette in 2009.

What piece of jewelry does every woman need?
Every woman needs a fantastic statement necklace that can be worn to highlight casual daywear and compliment evening attire. Briolette jewelry offers a fashionable touch of class, or sass for any occasion. Designers Jayne Malasko and Nicole Martinez create one-of-a- kind jewelry from only the best precious and semi-precious natural stones & 14K GF or sterling silver.

What is your favorite thing about designing jewelry?
Nicole Martinez and Jayne Malasko enjoy searching for unique materials from different parts of the world, which infuse their work with artistic inspiration.

What are you most looking forward to with fashion week?
During Austin Fashion Week, Briolette designers, Nicole Martinez and Jayne Malasko, look forward to meeting new people within the Austin community as well as sharing design.

Anything else you want us to know about you?
Briolette’s designs are inspired by nature’s complexity and richness of texture and color. Each piece is handcrafted and transformed into a wearable work of art featuring only high quality, natural semi-precious and precious stones that are finished out in 14K gold-filled, sterling silver or vermeil.

Their nature inspired vision expands beyond their jewelry line to their exclusive packaging, which they have cleverly named Briolette’s Vuvessel TM (view-ves-sel). The Vuvessels house Briolette earrings in crystal vials that serve as distinctive displays, whimsical gift boxes or convenient travel cases that not only protect the jewelry from tarnishing but can be recycled after final use.

Austin Fashion Week – Jewelry Designer Melissa Borrell

Austin Fashion Week is coming AUGUST 20-27!

Austin Fashion Week is quickly approaching and milk + honey is proud to be involved. Each of our locations has paired with a local jewelry designer with events taking place during the big week. We interviewed the designers to find out why they chose jewelry design, what piece of jewelry every woman needs and what they are most looking forward to during fashion week.
See what they had to say!

Melissa Borrell is one of the jewelry designers paired with milk + honey. Come see Melissa at our event next Thursday the 25th from 6-9pm at our milk + honey Spa downtown location.

Melissa Borrell

Why did you want to start your own jewelry business?
I’ve always loved creating things, especially jewelry. Initially I was making jewelry just to fulfill my passion, but once I started wearing it, people really reacted to it and wanted to buy my designs, so the business pretty much came to life on its own.

What piece of jewelry does every woman need?
I think every woman should have one piece that makes them feel like they are truly expressing their own personality and individuality.

What is your favorite thing about designing jewelry?
I love the challenge of designing something that is beautiful and easy to wear, while at the same time being engaging and interactive. I like to challenge people’s notions of what jewelry can be and often create pieces that have double lives; it doesn’t look like jewelry until you put it on.

What are you most looking forward to with fashion week?
I look forward to meeting other people who love fashion and design, as well as finding inspiration in their creativity.

Anything else you want us to know about you?
Jewelry is just one of the outlets for my creativity. I also create sculpture pieces, window shades, vases, and other artwork.
