Sponsored: “What Does Womanity Mean to You?”

Womanity represents the invisible bond between Women. It epitomizes a new feminine force: the influence and energy of women coming together. 

In celebration of the new Thierry Mugler fragrance called Womanity, I have been asked to answer this question, “What Does Womanity Mean to You?.

Mother: Being a woman means that we all united in the fact that we are mothers - in one way or another. Even if we do not bear children, a woman has the innate ability to mother, even if it is just the world around her.

Feminine: Being a woman, we can be as fun, flirty and as feminine as we want (or not want) to be.

Nurturing: Being a woman, we are inbred with a nurturing element. Whether it be our home, family, friends, pets or co-workers, nothing can nurture as honestly and wholly as a woman.

The WOMANITY scent is the first sweet and savory fragrance creation. A unique accord of fig and caviar makes this distinctive fragrance vibrant and harmonious. Visit the site to learn more and even request a sample.

Now it is your turn. This is the emergence of a new Mugler woman, who not only transforms herself but the world around her.  Thierry Mugler captures the emergence of this new attitude, a new consciousness. Crystallizing the DNA of a universal & trans-generational community of women, Mr. Mugler invites all women to reveal their vision of femininity.

Do you know anyone who colors their hair? I mean, if you don't need to color, lighten, brighten or cover up your grays, consider yourself blessed. I have been using hair color on myself since I was 16 years old. Yes - years and years of hair damage has been done. It is true what they say too. Once you start, you cannot stop. So if you are anyone you know does the hair color routine, you need to repair hair as much as possible from the damage, and only a colored hair system will do. Pantene recently launched a full line of product to do just that.

Pantene Pro-V Color Hair Solutions is a customized product line-up specially designed for us with color-treated hair. The series contains six customized shampoo and conditioner systems plus a conditioning/nourishing treatment designed to bring hair back to health. Volume, fullness, silky smooth styles or beautiful shine can be yours. Yes, even for your color treated hair. You just have to select which customized shampoo and conditioner system meets your needs.

No matter which of the shampoo and conditioning pairs you select from, all color treated hair needs to make use of this deep conditioner. It is the Pantene Pro-V Color Nourishing Treatment. For only $3.99, you get a large tube of conditioner that is to be used just once a week for enhanced color and shine. The formula is very moisturizing which helps to seal damaged cuticles and repair the porosity that can cause hair color to fade. I use it in the shower after shampooing and let it marinate in my hair for two minutes. It makes my hair instantly softer, more manageable and full of shine.

All of the new Pantene Pro-V Color Hair Solutions are available at drugstores and mass merchandisers nationwide. The price could not be more right, nor could the solutions themselves. To find out more about the products, visit Pantene.com.
