Nimli Talk

TURN HEADS

I have foolishly been venturing out of the house sans hat lately thinking it is warmer than it actually is in NYC. This weekend we are in for a serious cold snap so I am preparing for the chill and you won’t see me stray far from home. If you do, you can be sure I’ll be all rugged up and sporting my favorite from Nimli designer Claudia Schulz, the Anouk Hat. Claudia grew up in Germany and her style is heavily influenced by European styles of the 1920s and 1930s. The accent details, simple lines, and color combinations of her hats turn heads (and keep them warm)!

NON-TOXIC SUNSCREEN FOR YEAR ROUND USE

You may think you don’t need to wear sunscreen during winter, but even though the weather is chilly, your skin is still exposed to the sun and it's harmful rays. People who don't wear sunscreen year-round are more susceptible to the development of brown spots on their hands and face. They are also more likely to develop red crusted spots (actinic keratoses), which can turn into skin cancers. Make sure to apply a non-toxic spf each morning such as Azur, available at Nimli. Azur solar care contains soothing hydrators, vitamin-enriched age-fighters and age-delaying skin conditioners that protect your skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays. Age-preventing vitamins A, C and E add antioxidant protection and rich moisturizers like aloe vera penetrate deeply into skin to soothe and hydrate.

CHOCOLATE IS GOOD FOR YOU!

Instead of counting calories, carbs or fat a new diet, The O2 Diet, focus on delicious, nutritious bites that rev your metabolism and fight aging. This diet is based on the ORAC scale, which measures how well a food protects against free radicals, the bad guys behind aging, many forms of cancer and heart disease. By choosing ORAC-packed foods like green tea, artichokes and strawberries, you could naturally shed unwanted pounds and take years off your face. Green crusader’s, Vital Juice, give it the thumbs up!  

 

NATURAL DISASTERS

Is Global Warming to blame for more frequent and dangerous natural disasters? Due to lack of scientific evidence, this question has not been fully answered. According to ENN.com, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is currently under severe political debate over their claim that the severity of natural disasters has been affected by Global Warming. The U.N. panel even went so far as to demand $100 billion from the rich nations that have been blamed for creating the most emissions. Check out the full article here.

THE NATURAL LIP SCRUB

As winter weather sets in, so do dry, chapped, and flakey lips. Yuck! And no matter how much lip balm you pile on, you will still be left with bumpy dry skin unless you gently exfoliate the lips - leaving a smooth, new layer for your lipstick to glide on. 

 

Two natural product junkies from Colorado developed a new lip scrub made with all natural ingredients to help combat this common beauty dilemma. The Natural Lip Scrub is made with organic sugar, organic cinnamon and peppermint oils, and an all natural base of vitamin E, beeswax and other wholesome natural ingredients. No petroleum, no parabens, and nothing artificial.

Just how we like it!
