We had the pleasure of skipping across the pond to show our presence at the Olympia Beauty Show in London. Which, as you can imagine, made us landlocked Americans absolutely chuffed. 😉 We got in Friday morning, after an 8-hour flight with no sleep, but still managed to rally and go do some sightseeing! We stopped at Buckingham Palace, the London Eye, and Big Ben, which was under construction, but still pretty cool to see. :) All were great photo ops.. Saturday we set up for the show and met up with our friends and co-workers in England who were a pleasure to finally meet in person! We had been talking over Google Hangouts to make the plans for the show. The set-up went smoothly and we were able to go out for a nice dinner and talk about some of the differences between the British and American cultures. We had some good laughs with some of the comparisons. Sunday and Monday were the days for the show and we were pleasantly surprised by the number of people who stopped by to see us demonstrate our iron as well as try it out on their friends. We were pleased with everyone's first thoughts on our hair care products and blow dryer as well! Overall, the show was a success and we can’t wait to visit again! Cheers!

Creating Beach Curls on Short Hair with a TYME Iron Instead of a Curling Iron With the iron at a 45-degree angle, take 1” - 1 ½” vertical sections Brush each section before curling for a smoother finish Don’t focus on the underneath pieces :) Start rotating the iron at the roots for more volume and move the iron up and out and slightly forward Use a very slight rotation in the bangs for a softer curl Break up curls by massaging through hair Finger comb into place and touch up any pieces that need it (if you like your ends to look more beachy and unfinished, simply run the flat iron side of the iron over the ends) Finish with SelfieTYME Hairspray! Tip: For messy curls on short hair, try alternating the direction of the curls and add BigTYME for more volume and texture! Curling Iron Tips & Tricks Based on Hair Type Thick Hair Tips: Travel a little slower down the hair strand with the iron for thicker hair You may need to use a higher heat setting for thicker hair You may want to take smaller sections for more defined curls Fine Hair Tips: The hair will heat up faster on fine hair, so you can travel a little faster down the hair strand than you would for thicker hair For fine hair, use a lower heat setting, especially if your hair is bleached or chemically processed Creating Soft Curls on Short Hair with a TYME Iron Instead of a Curling Iron Start with a vertical section (the larger the section, the bigger the wave) For more volume at the roots, start rotating iron at scalp area Direct the iron up and out while drawing down the ends For shorter, face-framing pieces, brush section forward, hold iron at 45-degree angle, and start a little farther down the hair strand using just a slight rotation for a softer wave For more tips and hair tutorials, follow us on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Pinterest

Jacynda was asked recently during Facebook Live how she maintains a sunny disposition despite all her stressors. Here is what she had to say… Stressors are only stressors if you allow them to be! If you notice, there is one thing that I love that I learned through what I call becoming a couch wife to a CEO. It is that your perspective on everything is what makes every decision in your day. So if I look at a situation, no matter what, it has no meaning to me until I give it meaning. So that means I am the biggest influence in my life. I’ve actually had an interview where they’ve asked me, “Who is the biggest influence in your life?” And I said, “Myself,” because you make one thousand decisions in a day. There is absolutely no way that there can be another person that is a bigger influence than you. If you add your perspective and think of it as “this is my perspective every single day,” with every single decision, YOU are the only one that can give yourself the sunny disposition. The thing that you have to realize is that every single time you react, it's your choice to react in that way. I have this funny story, and I’m going to cuss because I think it's important to do this for effect. My friend was going through a divorce and had all this stuff going on and I basically put it to her like this, “Look, your ex could literally throw shit on your face. Literally throw it on your face. You can have a reaction where you go ‘ok’ and you just get rid of it, and it's gone! That ends that, and you have all the power in that moment. OR you could throw it back. They could throw it back and it could turn into this huge flight and literally it could go to the extreme of somebody dying. Because in a fight you never know what happens, right? But your perspective on it and your choice in that moment is what sets the tone for what happens after that.” It could be THAT different with every decision you make in the day if you think about it like that. So imagine, make your perspective “sunny” whenever you can, like that sunny disposition. :) Make sure that you are cognizant of those choices that you are making and how they affect other people...but none of them will affect anyone else in the way that they affect yourself and how you look at yourself and deal with yourself. Because after that moment when you make that decision you have to deal with the consequences of it always. Make sure you are proud of yourself in that moment, whatever it is. Whatever they’re throwing at you, you can do it. I’m not saying it will always be easy, but you can do it! For more tips and hair tutorials, follow us on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Pinterest

We are starting a series called “Inner Beauty” where we answer Life Challenge questions submitted from our Facebook Live viewers. This first one was submitted by a mom asking how to not take stress out on her kids, but this can be applied in other relationships as well! We’ve all probably had a day where we’ve had a boss or a teacher or somebody take something out on us and we can also probably remember how that made us feel. Now imagine if you are the one under stress.. Have your kids really done anything serious enough to warrant whatever it is that your stress is going to take out on them? So, what do you do? The best thing you can do is to take some time, even if you have to sit in your car for a few minutes and find a “theme song” for the moment, your “spirit animal” or a picture that represents who you are as a person and who you want to be as a mom. Make sure you get centered with yourself before you walk into a room with your kids and be responsible for the energy that you bring into that room. That is so important. Also understanding that you have very limited time of your kids’ lives with them, so spending that time in nurturing and developing them instead of taking your frustrations out on them is so key. Make sure you get centered with yourself and remember what kind of energy you want to bring to your kids before you go and take it out on them. For example, let’s say you are centered and you walk into a room and it’s a mess and you think “ugh that’s it, my kids are lazy, they’re not doing anything,” but little do you know, maybe your kids were in cleaning their rooms and they brought out toys to give away to kids.. It could be that different of a scenario, but the energy you bring into that room is what will guide how you react and how much you can help the kids. So take a minute to center yourself and make sure you can bring good energy to them! And remember, if it does happen that you take your stress out on them, regroup and move on! Don’t dwell on it because that’s not beneficial for anyone!! The key is to recenter, however that happens. Ask the kids for a take back. Say, “I’ve thought about what happened and I think I can do better so how about this…” and bring the new energy or new approach!

Curling on Someone Else with the TYME Iron ProWouldn’t it be nice if you had ONE iron that could: • Give short hair volume and lift • Create beach waves • Create tight, curly curls • Smooth and straighten natural curl? Well, guess what? It’s ALL possible with the TYME Iron! With TYME it makes life so much easier because you don’t need to pack or store a bunch of different heat tools. All of these looks can be created with this ONE iron. It also has a temperature variant to customize the heat setting for all hair types. Here are some helpful tips for curling on someone else using the TYME Iron: 
Step 1. Start with the proper grip on your iron. When you are curling someone else’s hair, you will want to place your pointer finger behind the power button. (You will want to keep your thumb under the “T” in TYME if using the original TYME Iron.) 
Step 2. Brush through their hair and divide it into two sections splitting the hair down the middle at the back of their head. 
Step 3. It helps to develop a pattern. For example, start in the back center and work your way forward. 
Step 4. Use vertical sections. You want the section of hair you are working with to run in the same direction as the plates of the iron. 
Step 5. Remember to keep the hair strand smooth and not twisted. If you keep the hair smooth, it will lay flat on the plates and make a smoother, evenly heated curl 
Step 6. Glide the iron toward you to get your curl. The more you rotate the iron, the tighter the curl; the less you rotate the iron, the softer the curl. 
Step 7. Curling Their Left Side To curl away from their face, come in from the top of the hair strand keeping the tip of the iron down and the cord up. To curl toward their face, come in from underneath the hair strand keeping the tip of the iron up and the cord down. 
Remember! Where hair cools is where it stays! This is your chance to twirl and set your curl into place if necessary. Always twirl the curl in the direction you curled it. Pro Tips: 
If ends get too curly or tight, switch to the flat iron side and straighten out a bit. 
To get curls at the top, go in with the iron as close to the top of the hair strand as possible and rotate right away. 
For face-framing pieces, it looks more natural to come in with the iron lower down on the hair section. 
To straighten: Hold iron horizontally to match direction of hair section. For more tips and hair tutorials, follow us on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Pinterest
