Falling in Love with Yourself
French Polynesian Adventures

February 11, 2021

I know we have all heard this before, but it is so true. You have to love yourself and create your own happiness. No one, and I mean no one can do it for you. The love of your life can make you happier, your kids and family can bring you joy beyond measure but, if you don’t love you then you won’t be able to have successful relationships with anyone.

How do you get there? How do you love yourself if you don’t already? Find and work in a career that you love and are passionate about. Find a life partner with similar values, morals and work ethic, otherwise you will resent them and yourself. Don’t waste your time. Be productive and find your OWN JOY! Start by asking yourself what brings you JOY? It’s different for every person. Be really good being alone with yourself. Take yourself to dinner, hike/walk outside alone, or go to a movie alone. If you haven’t done those things you don’t enjoy your own company. Again, JOY, what brings you JOY? Answer the question out loud or write it down. Then LIVE that stellar, joy filled life.

The best advice I can give anyone is to allow your partner to be him/herself. Most people don’t change. Embrace all of their nuances and encourage their healthy and productive hobbies, their perfect imperfections and be intimate as much as you can. Hug them for 20 seconds not just a peck on the cheek. Listen to them. No one likes not being heard. No one likes to be dismissed or ignored. Also, make all “big” discussions together. Be honest with yourself and your partner and your kids. Communicate your needs and expectations early so that you are on the same page. I like to say no one can take my “Teri-ness” away. Have fun and laugh as much as possible especially if you have kids. They will see this and learn from a happy, healthy relationship.

Travel, plan date night, or go to a hotel on a Saturday afternoon and stay the night. Get a sitter. Get away from your laundry, your house chores, the to-do lists, grocery shopping, your work, your computer, and focus on enjoying each other. Do this at least once a month. Or go play a round of golf, go for a 2 hour walk and talk, watch a movie in bed. Treasure each other and yourself. You won’t regret it.

Love YOU first then your relationships will follow in the same path you set for yourself.

Glow, Sparkle & Be Happy!
Science behind glittery skin and being happy!

December 30, 2020

Dear Stellargirls,

Our Glimmer Lotion is scientifically linked to optimism, happiness and positivity! Yay!

A quote from SHAPE magazine Dec 2020 “Glitter makeup is fun and flattering, and you’re actually programmed to be attracted to it, according to the journal Ecological Psychology. Humans subconsciously associate things that sparkle with water, which shimmers in the light and is a resource that our brains are hardwired to seek out, says fashion psychologist, Dr. Dawnn Karen the author of Dress Your Best Life. That natural draw makes us more attractive to others who wear it and boosts your mood. Wearing glimmer and glitter can instill a sense of power and optimism.” Dr. Karen concludes

Glitter, sparkle and glimmer have “an allover potential to look positively brilliant”. Amen to that. STELLARGIRLS glow, so naturally our skin should too!

Also Shape magazine quotes world renowned make-up artist, Katie Jane Hughes, who has worked with numerous celebrities, such as Ashley Graham, Rosie Huntington-Whitleley, and major publications such as Glamour and Harper’s Bazaar, says “applying a microfine glitter on the shoulders, shins, or anywhere else that catches the light can be super sexy.”  Ok so now our glimmer lotion not only is proven to enhance your mood and make you feel sexier? C’mon now!

I guess after years of wearing my own DIY concoction of shimmer/glitter lotion because it makes me happy actually has science behind it! Our signature lotion was developed because it made me smile putting on sparkling lotion every day; and everywhere I went girls of all ages would ask where I got it! So why not make the most glittery, shimmery, sparkly allover lotion available to those who need a little more joy and fun in our lives!

Optimist, glowy, sparkling skin is here to stay. Hurray!

Let’s Talk Food
Eat, don't diet.

October 25, 2020
Stellargirls,

I love to eat. But do you really know what you are putting into our bodies?

I don’t count calories nor follow Keto, Paleo, Vegan, Vegetarian, Flexitarian, Gluten Free, Dairy Free or Raw eating regimens. I eat as clean as I can. So somedays I eat chicken and salad, sometimes a bacon, egg, avocado and tomato sandwich, and a handful of pure milk chocolate chips in a day. I cook a lot, I have my rotation of favorite grilled salmon, sweet potato and brussel sprouts dinners combined with about another two dozen dishes I do well at, but I try to eat fresh food. No processed food, I limit packaged food however I do open a raspberry, white chocolate Quest bar now and again but most of the time yes, I can pronounce every single ingredient on my plate.

Of course I eat out, but I  kindly ask for no salt, all sauces on the side, nothing fried but that’s me. You have to listen to your body. So, if your body aches and your tummy is sore from meat, be a vegetarian. If the same thing happens when you eat bread go gluten free and try potatoes or cauliflower bread. If your skin breaks out cut out the dairy. If you retain water, check the sodium content in your food, you will be surprised how much salt and fillers are in what you are eating.

Think eating clean and fresh instead of dieting. It is healthier for our brains, bodies and spirits. The good news is we control exactly what we eat. Once we are about thirteen or fourteen years old we get to choose. So, choose wisely. Don’t eat crappy ingredients. Don’t eat when you are bored. Eating is fun, social, and it’s good for you! Every body is different. Fuel yours with what makes you feel stellar inside and out!

Love, Teri xo

My Skin Health
My simple, not simple, skin care routine!

October 15, 2020
Stellargirls,
I am definitely no “skinfluencer” that is for sure.  I grew up using Sea Breeze toner, yes that really “dates” me but it’s not as crazy as when my friends and I applied baby oil to our skin and laid out on the grass with tinfoil taped to cardboard to get the best reflection angle of the sun…yep…not good. That was the early 90’s…..how skincare health has changed!

I did battle cystic acne in my mid 30’s and thought it would never end. After spending thousands of dollars on lasers, facials, every over the counter acne treatment, about half a dozen acne prescription medication, eliminating sugar, dairy, gluten NOTHING worked.  Miraculously after 3 photodynamic treatments set 4 months apart, (yeah, they really hurt), my acne cleared up about 6 months after my final treatment. Yippee!

Now, I keep my routine simple. Yes, at times I get roped into to trying the newest eye cream, but I keep coming back to my loyal favs.  I started using SK11 brand right after my PDT treatments. The ingredient, pitara saved my skin. Seriously. It healed it. I will never, I mean never stop using it every single day! I wash my face in the morning with AVENE thermal water on a cotton round pad then I use 4 drops of Skin Ceuticals C E Ferulic. After my workout and shower, I splash SK11 Pitera Essence over my face and neck, then I dab on Neocutis, Lumiere eye cream and lastly apply Elta MD Suncreen before any makeup. I continuously mist rosewater or a hydration setting spray throughout the day to keep my skin feeling dewy and plus I love the scent, it gives me an energy boost!  I put on STELLARGIRL glimmer lotion to my upper body every day because I love to sparkle and, in the fall/winter I’ll use Aveno lotion on my legs and feet.

At night, combined with warm water I use Cerave hydrating facial cleaner (it removes all eye make-up too), followed with Bobbi Brown hydrating face toner,  a dollop of SK11 RNA power cream and lastly, Innisfree spot treatment before I go to bed. I found Innisfree in South Korea. The women have such beautiful skin there!

Before heading to bed, I apply organic coconut oil from a jar all over my body. It liquifies once you rub it into your hands and then I apply to my skin from my neck down to my feet.

Gee, it sure looks like a lot of work when you write it down but literary takes 5 minutes in the morning and 5 minutes at night! Sleep tight, wake up, and repeat!

Love, Teri xo

Lots of Water
Don't underestimate the power of H2O!

October 10, 2020
Dear Stellargirls,
Quench your body from the inside out and you will shine like the sun!  Hydrate with water and lots of it. If you are exercising daily drink at least a gallon a day. 8 glasses of water just isn’t enough. Try 4 liters!
Don’t wait until you are thirsty! Don’t be waterproof! Drink up! Stellargirls, your body will thank you and it will glow through in your skin and smile.
Drench your body in Stellargilr’s own Glimmer Lotion (to pre-order click here) and lock in moisture, shimmer, and gold glitter! Use a hydrating mist on your face throughout the day to lock in moisture. My favorite is SKII’s Pitera Daily Essence. (link here) I swear I am constantly spritzing throughout the day especially on the plane. Take off your makeup before you go to bed, there is no excuse. Dab on some eye cream, a little Rosebud lip balm, coconut oil on your hands, and feet and your favorite nighttime serum or revitalizer on your face….
Oh, and don’t forget to have one glass of water before bed you will wake up feeling refreshed and revived!
Love
Teri

Dear Stellargirls
My beauty routine is simple. My morning ritual begins with the rise of the sun and a strong cup of coffee! After that I sip a glass of warm water with lemon and a splash of apple cider vinegar. My face receives a spritz of Avene mineral spring water and a splash of my favorite SK11 Pitera potion. My daily schedule is different every day so my beauty protocol must compliment where I’m going, whom I am meeting, if I am getting onto an airplane, or heading out with family or friends! However, there is one product I never leave the house without applying.

Dear Stellargirls,

My beauty routine is simple. My morning ritual begins with the rise of the sun and a strong cup of coffee! After that I sip a glass of warm water with lemon and a splash of apple cider vinegar. My face receives a spritz of Avene mineral spring water and a splash of my favorite SK11 Pitera potion. My daily schedule is different every day so my beauty protocol must compliment where I’m going, whom I am meeting, if I am getting onto an airplane, or heading out with family or friends! However, there is one product I never leave the house without applying. We created our own special golden body armor, Stellargirl Glimmer Lotion. Its shimmer and glitter gleams on my skin and instantly puts a smile on my face! Our glimmer lotion moisturizers and dusts my skin like magic sparkles that as gold as the sun. It follows me everywhere I go and I get to leave a little happiness behind! Stellargirls, discover your brilliant beauty and shine like a star!

Love,

Teri
