Marta Walsh Interviews Patricia Kara from Deal or NO Deal
Couple of months ago, I had an amazing opportunity to interview the beautiful Patrica Kara for Beauty Interviews.
Patricia Kara is an actress, model, and a TV personality best known as Deal or No Deal’s #9. Patricia along with Tameka Jacobs, were the only ones chosen to be on the new Daytime Deal or No Deal with Howie Mandel, which premiered in September 2008. In addition, Patricia has appeared in over 20 television programs, such as, E! Entertainment’s Wild On, Extra, and the Golden Globes.
Read my interview with Patricia Kara where we chat about her love for hosting TV shows, how Deal or No deal revolutionized her career, beauty secrets, her upcoming calendar, and plans for the future.
Why have you decided on a career in hosting and reporting?
I started out with modeling about twenty years ago back in Chicago. That led me to Florida and New York. When I was in New York my modeling agency started to send me out to auditions for hosting and acting. I started booking jobs here and there. One job led to the next job. Then I moved to LA and kept working. And I love it! Anytime I can talk and get paid for it to, is just great. I find my job real easy, it is what I love to do. With hosting I get to try new and different things, depending on what I’m hosting about, and being part of them in a way most people don’t get to do. For example, if I do a show about wake boarding, I’ll try wake boarding. I’ve done a fishing show. I’ve also hosted a lot of sporting events, such as Kentucky Derby.
How To Unwind After a Long Day at the Office With Olay & Eye-Soothe Mask
At the end of a long, tiring day at the office most of us are ready for some R&R. Yet frequent spa visits can be luxurious indulgence for many women to fit into their regular beauty routine. But luckily Olay has created an easy way to improve our lives for the better with Olay Body Wash plus Spa Exfoliating Ribbons. No expensive treatments or inconvenient appointments needed.
Olay Body Wash plus Spa Exfoliating Ribbons with micro-beads and seaweed extract, which was featured in Marie Claire’s “25 New Products That Will Change Your Life,” wraps skin in gentle exfoliants and intensive moisturizers while creamy lather provides a clean shower feeling. The body wash contains seaweed extract and micro-beads, the same ingredients used in popular spa body treatments. SRP: $3.99 (10 oz.) and $5.99 (18 oz.).
I tried Olay Body Wash plus Spa Exfoliating Ribbon with micro-beads and seaweed extract and it feels like silk on my skin, while the micro-beads do an excellent job in exfoliating my skin. I like using Olay Body Wash plus Spa Exfoliating Ribbons with micro-beads and seaweed extract after a long day of blogging:) and especially on the weekends.
Complete your R&R with Eye-Soothe Tension Relieving Mask by Brookstone which uses Air Inflation Technology to gently massage eyes, forehead and sinuses, alleviating pressure and working away stress. Also, delivers soothing comfort during headaches. SRP: $50.

Find out which top hand hydrators our testers found desk drawer-worthy

 We spend hundreds on youth-enhancing face lotions — but when’s the last time your hands got some love? “Hands show aging more than the face,” says Los Angeles-based dermatologist Dr. Howard Murad. Good point. So we had 10 testers review hand creams for two weeks. Which ones offered the best hydration — and which were just greasy? Find out in the ratings. |

Buyer beware! Don’t get suckered by dodgy labels on beauty products
|
 Admit it: When you buy a product labeled “organic” or “natural” you get a warm, fuzzy feeling — even if it costs twice as much. Well, it’s our job to bring you down to earth: Organic and natural beauty products are often twisted on labels to the point that they’re virtually meaningless terms. |
Kiehl’s Forest Rain Eau de Toilette Spray
This fall, Kiehl’s Since 1851 is exceedingly proud to carry on its apothecary tradition by bringing a new fragrance into its scent library.
Kiehl’s Forest Rain Eau de Toilette is a spicy, yet woodsy blend, inspired by many of the classic essences once sold in Kiehl’s original apothecary, and like all Kiehl’s products, is appropriate for both men and women. Sure to be an instant classic, Forest Rain Eau de Toilette is the first new Eau De Toilette from Kiehl’s since the introduction of Kiehl’s popular Musk Eau de Toilette in 2004.
A gorgeous, deep forest green glass bottle houses this fresh blend of Muguet, Vetiver, Citrus and Cedar Wood, which has the following scent characteristics:
Top notes are Wet Grass and Muguet Petals combined with a Peppery Sweet Citrus and Earthy Guaic Leaves.
Middle notes include Damp Moss with Jasmine and other White Flowers.
Dry Down has the essence of Deep Sunbleached Hay, Cedarwood and Vetiver, and a Soft Musk.

These moisturizers from brands like Clinique, Sephora and Dove didn’t give us enough bang for our buck

 When the weather turns cold and dry, we hand over hard-earned cash for body moisturizers that we hope will keep our skin from feeling parched and itchy. But these nine promising lotions left us, well, a bit dissatisfied. |

You are going to see more of these videos of me talking about makeup, skincare, and just my adventures as a beauty blogger and an interviewer for BeautyInterviews.com
Because this was my first video blog I only mentioned 9 products instead of 10. Sorry everyone, but here it is, product number 10: Function Self-Adjusting Powder Foundation in Light L1-L2 by Smashbox Cosmetics. It is on my top 10 list of the week because it gives my skin great coverage in no time. I use it with different brushes to achieve different finishes. Big powder brush all over my face and a small brush under my eyes and around the nose and moth.
List of products in the video include:
1. Pigment in Gold Mode by MAC Cosmetics.

How to Get A Good Night’s Sleep With The New Aromatherapy Sleep Warm Milk & Honey Collection
I love the new Aromatherapy Sleep Warm Milk & Honey collection sold at Bath & Body Works and their stores. The collection which includes a body wash & foam bath, luxe bath, body lotion, a massage oil, and a pillow mist promises to give you the best night’s sleep ever. Infused with cinnamon and clove essential oils this aromatherapy sleep collection did manage to keep me calm and cozy at night, and yes, sleepy.
The Warm Milk & Honey Aromatherapy Sleep collection smells really good to me, I am wondering if they ever going to add a perfume to this collection. It has a very fresh, sweet, and soothing smell, it will make a very pleasant fragrance I think.
The new Aromatherapy Sleep Warm Milk & Honey Collection From Bath & Body Works was developed with the help of one of the world’s most renowned experts, Dr. Michael J. Breus. Evoking the comfort of homemade remedies, Warm Milk & Honey is a sweet alternative to the existing Lavender Chamomile and Lavender Vanilla Blends.
