Tweezerman Pink Travel Pedro Tweezerman
Foot Tools: I’m always on the look out for quick and easy tools to help my sometimes dry cracked feet. Especially in the summer time, I wear flip flops a lot living in Arizona which takes a toll on my feet. My latest great discovery is: Tweezerman Pink Travel Pedro Callus Stone, $12, (also comes is in light aqua green). Amazing! It actually works in gently filling off my dry skin on my heels. I use it on dry feet, in the shower, and on my at-home pedicure days. I also find the shape of the Pedero very comfortable to hold and to ‘operate’. After exfoliating my feet I like to use body lotions by Jergens, Curel, or Lubriderm my drugstore jewels! Success:)
Bree Turner Interviews With Marta Walsh
Bree Turner is an actress who began her journey in Hollywood as a professional dancer. Bree was a background dancer in such hit films as The Big Lebowski (1998), She’s All That (1999) and Mike Myers’ Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999). Bree’s love for performing and being on stage makes acting a natural transition. Most recently, Bree Turner can be seen opposite Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler in The Ugly Truth.
I caught up with Bree Turner via telephone from Los Angeles early in the morning few months ago, to talk about her beginnings in Hollywood, her role film The Ugly Truth opposite Katherine Heigl, future career plans and even some beauty secrets!
Actress Bree Turner
Marta Walsh: How did you decide on a career in acting, and what were some of your first breaks as an actress?
Bree Turner: I started out as a dancer which got me on stage. I was pretty shy as a kid so my mom decided to enroll me in a dance class, and I fell in love with being on stage and performing. I danced all through my teens and early 20’s. Dancing brought me down to Los Angeles with a dance scholarship in UCLA. I heard that you can actually make money as dancer, so I got a dance agent and began working in commercials, music videos, and the Grammys. I did that for about 6 years. I then decided to pursue acting. I was so in love with being on set and movie making. I loved movies since I was a baby. It was the only thing that would calm me down. I was very colicky as a child so my mom would take me to watch movies. Grease was the movie that would stop me from crying. Dancing, performing, and being on stage is all I’ve done forever, it’s all I really know.
Wonderbar Facial Bar
Anyone heard about the Wonderbar facial bar? First time for me. The description is quite interesting. Makes Marta want to try:)

The use of nanotechnology to develop Chlorey’nahre results in quick & complete absorption into your dermis to help your skin stay supple, radiant and youthful.

Curél Targeted Therapy Fast-Absorbing Hand & Cuticle Cream
Hand Saver: With flu season in full force, we’re all aware of the importance of washing our hands to ensure they’re free from bacteria. Unfortunately, this increase in our daily wash routine is leading to a decrease in the softness of our hands. With the average woman washing her hands 10.8 times each day, there’s a need to re-hydrate our dry, cracked skin.
Luckily, Curél has you covered this winter with their Targeted Therapy Fast-Absorbing Hand & Cuticle Cream. Formulated with Curél’s unique cationic formula, the cream is specially designed to deliver moisture where skin needs it most. Dry spots of skin attract the formula to create a moisture lock, which holds protective emollients on skin longer and helps prevent the hydrating ingredients from rinsing away with hand washing.

The vast majority of patients had no idea that the formulas they used on their hair could have a big impact on their skin.

Olay PROx Intensive Wrinkle Protocol
Does this scenario sound familiar: You are standing in front of a huge skincare isle or shelf in your local drugstore and you just can’t decide which moisturizer to buy. Well, my decision is easy these days: I’m in LOVE with Olay PROx Intensive Wrinkle Protocol. The creams are super hydrating, silky to touch, and never heavy or greasy. No strong fragrance, which is a big plus. Honestly, this is my favorite Olay moisturizer line, alot of it to do with the fact that not only it works amazing on my skin, there is no strong perfume smell. You know me, I’m not so keen on perfume in my skincare.
The Olay PROx Intensive Wrinkle Protocol kit includes: age repair lotion with SPF 30. wrinkle smoothing cream. deep wrinkle treatment.
