Oscar Hot Looks!
To say Halle Berry SHINED at the Oscars last night would be an understatement. She literally sparkled from head to toe in her Marchesa gown. To play up her beautiful dress, Berry went with a gorgeous but understated look when it came to makeup, which included a smokey eye and pale lip gloss. To get this look, try Laugh SHINE Repeat’s Beehive, a pale pink frost with a lot of shine that will goes well with almost any look.
Meanwhile, Jennifer Hudson took the spring’s hottest color to a whole new level. The singer, who lost 80 pounds last year through Weight Watchers, looked glamorous in her tangerine-colored Versace dress. Outlining her glorious smile was a slightly less bold tone of tangerine lip gloss. Don’t forget, Laugh SHINE Repeat will be offering shades of orange lip gloss and lipstick soon! -xoxox

Saturday Morning Wash: How to get Lip Gloss Stains out of Clothes
Have you ever taken your laundry out of the dryer, only to find that a lip gloss had somehow made it into the pile of clothes? Certainly an irritating find, but not an impossiblity to fix. Should it ever happen to you, try a few of these tips:
1. DO NOT DRY THE CLOTHES. If you notice the stains before moving the clothes from the washer into the dryer, or realize that a lip gloss container may have been left in your jeans pocket, do not proceed to dry the clothes. These remedies work best before the clothes have been dried. If the clothes are already dry, thoroughly wet the area of the stain and allow the water to soak into the fabric before proceeding.
2. USE A STAIN REMOVER. Your first attempt should be to use regular stain remover. Stain remover formulated for use on clothing will be gentler than anything else you could use. Spread it into the wet fabric and work it in with your fingers. Then wash the garment. If the stain has still not disappeared, do not dry it. Instead, move on to step 2 with your wet garment.
3. USE DAWN DISHWASHING SOAP. Dishwashing soap is meant to cut the grease on food containers. That is why it works on greasy lip gloss stains. First wet the areas around the stains. Then pour dishwashing soap onto the stains and work it into the fabric. Let it sit before rewashing, but do not allow it to dry on your clothes. If it is allowed to dry on your clothes, it could create a stain of its own.
4. TRY WD-40. For stains that are not removed with dishwashing soap alone, first try some WD-40 degreaser on the spot. Many people find that the WD-40 allows the degreasing dishwashing soap to do its job. Then proceed to use the dishwashing soap on the stain.
5. REPEAT AS NEEDED. It may take several tries to get all of the lip gloss out of your clothing. However, if you've tried several times and the stain just won't come out, it may be time to give up.

Follow Your Heart!
According to the Centers for Disease Control, someone in the United States has a heart-related problem every 25 seconds. Heart disease is also the number one cause of death in the United States and the number one cause of death in women. Those are scary statistics, but there are ways you can help fight the disease and live a long, healthy life.
1. Stop smoking. Smoking raises your blood pressure and increases your risk for blood clots, which can lead to a stroke or heart attack. Within a year of quitting, you can decrease your chances of having heart problems by 50%. Not convinced? Secondhand smoke can also lead to heart disease, so if you don’t want to quit for yourself, do it for your loved ones.
2. Get moving. Just 30 minutes of exercise a day will help you lower your blood pressure, decrease your stress level, and it may even help you fit into those jeans you’ve been dying to wear. So, what are you waiting for? Go for a walk! Take a dance class! Exercise doesn’t have to be boring.
3. Cut back on salt. Salt has been shown to increase your blood pressure, which increases your chances of having a heart attack or stroke. Next time you’re looking to add some flavor to your food, try pepper or other spices instead of grabbing for the salt shaker.
4. Have a glass of wine. Yes, you heard right! Red wine has been proven to contain antioxidants that basically help protect your heart. Make sure you have no more than one glass a day, though, or you might end up reversing the effect.
5. Wear your heart on your lips. February is “American Heart Month,” and for every tube of Fire Engine Red or Bad Bessie glossware you purchase from Laugh SHINE Repeat this month, a donation will be made to the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women movement.
Do it for your mother, your sisters, your daughters, and your best friends!

Get Rihanna’s Grammys Look
Rihanna sizzled on stage at the Grammys this year – performing “Love the Way You Lie (Part 2)” with Eminem and “What’s My Name” with Drake, but it was the red carpet where really showed her off unique style.

To get Rihanna’s raspberry red-colored lips, try Laugh SHINE Repeat’s Bad Bessie lip gloss. The multi-dimensional glosswear will make your lips SHINE with a sparkling pearl finish!

Give the Gift of a Smile
“Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.” - Mother Teresa
Have you ever wanted to do something nice for someone, but you didn’t think you had the time or the money? What if you could make someone’s day a lot brighter every time you stepped outside of your home? Guess what? You can. It’s easy. All you have to do is…
SMILE!
Think about a time when you were sad or angry and you felt like the world was against you. Maybe one person, a stranger or a friend, took the time to smile and say “hello” to you on their way to work or when they passed by you in the supermarket. Didn’t it make you feel just a little bit better?
You never know what someone else is going through at any given moment. Maybe they just broke up with their boyfriend or husband, or maybe they just lost a dear family member. Maybe they lost their job or just had a big fight with their best friend. Maybe they’re just having one of those days where nothing goes right.
Next time you run into someone who is having a bad day, try it. Give them a big smile! Not only will it cheer them up, but it will make you feel better too.
A happy woman is a beautiful woman!

THINK GREEN: REPURPOSING YOUR USED LIP GLOSS CONTAINERS
Thousands of tubes of lip gloss are sold by a host of companies in the United States every single minute of the day. While we love statistics about women who buy lip gloss, we don’t necessarily love what happens to those tubes when they become empty. Discared tubes of lip gloss and lipstick contribute to 12 percent of all solid plastic waste in our country. Of the nearly 29 million tons of discarded plastic, only 5.7 percent is eventually recycled, compared to nearly 50 percent of paper and 22 percent of glass and aluminum that is recovered and recycled.
Laugh SHINE Repeat is a new company and we’re working on a recycling system for your old tubes of lip gloss. Until then, we’d like to offer a few creative ways to help you repurpose your tubes. Think GREEN and reuse em’!
Seasoning Shaker: How many times have you been on lunch at work and needed a packet of salt or just a pinch of your favorite seasoning to spice up leftovers or carry-outs? Fill a clean lip gloss container and carefully remove the applicator wand from the cap. Clean tubes by soaking them in warm, soapy water and air dry.Fill a tube with a little salt and pepper and toss it into your desk drawer or purse.
Perfume on the Go: Can’t find your favorite fragrance in a bottle small enough to fit into your purse? Fill a clean lip gloss container with your favorite perfume or essential oil. Make certain to clean the applicator wand. Use the wand to dab the fragrance on your body.
Instant Manicure: If you’re between manicures and your nail beds are brittle and your cuticles are dry, dab a little oil on them from an old lip gloss tube! Be certain to clean your lip gloss tube and applicator – first. Fill with olive oil or grape seed oil, if you have it. For a fresh touch, add few drops of essential oil to the tube.
MEET LELA WOODS: AN INSPIRING LAUGH SHINE REPEAT WOMAN
“Life is death without adventure and adventure only comes to those who are daring and willing to take chances.” – Prince
A happy woman is a beautiful woman – like Lela Woods! We recently sat down and shot the breeze with Lela Woods; a fun loving, 20-something, mover and shaker from the Midwest who works as hard as she plays and never takes no for answer! Her laughter is like fresh air and her warm spirit is contagious! Lela loves her Laugh SHINE Repeat Fire Engine Red Glossware and hardly ever hits the town without it! We are inspired by Lela’s carefree spirit and we proudly celebrate her today! - xoxox
LSR: Growing up, what was your favorite fairy tale or children’s story?
Lela Woods: Walk Two Moons was a book I really loved. I still sometimes pick it up and read it as an adult, and it’s still magical.
LSR: What are the books you’ve meant to read but haven’t yet?
Lela Woods: Author Tana French has a series of books that I bought and have yet to start reading. I also need to take the time to finish reading Water for Elephants. This book is enchanting.
LSR: If you were in a carnival, what talent would you have?
Lela Woods: I would love to read palms. I had my palms read once, and I think it’s so cool to look into someone’s hands and tell them about themselves past, present, and future.
LSR: What do you value most in life?
Lela Woods: Family, they are the loves of my life. Friendship, true friends are rare, so I cherish the ones I have.
LSR: Is there a quote or mantra that you live by?
Lela Woods: Nothing clever, but for me finding happiness in myself is what I strive for everyday. You can't make someone else happy until you have it on your own.
LSR: Who are your role models?
Lela Woods: Tammie Holland - There's an aura about Tammie that I seriously cannot describe. She has love and respect from both men and women from all ages, races, and walks of life. She truly is an amazing woman.
My Grandmothers - They both came from two totally different worlds; they are amazing women, whom I love and aspire to be like.
Barack Obama - I remember reading his book Dreams From My Father before his dreams of presidency. And I remember thinking after I read it, "I really love this man" -not in a sexual way, but in a way a daughter loves her father. He is brilliant and inspiring.
LSR: You have won a prize. The prize has two options, and you can choose either (but not both). The first option is a year in Europe with a monthly stipend of $2,000. The second option is ten minutes on the moon. Which option do you select?
Lela Woods: Europe! I love Europe. The history, the food, the culture. If you sent me for a year, there’s a good chance I may not come back at all!
Food For Thought:
Adventures can offer personal challenges while opening new horizons for us all. How you perceive challenges will greatly determine your ability to be successful and happy. Step out on faith today and try something new! Enjoy this adventure called life!

How to Get Every Last Drop of Your Lip Gloss
Ever get to the tail end of your lip gloss and think to yourself, “If only I could get one more drop of my Bad Bessie out of this tube!?” Well, wonder no more! Getting the last of your Laugh SHINE Repeat Glossware out of its tube is super easy! Here’s how:
1. Fill a microwavable safe mug with water. Fill the mug half way. You don’t want to use too much water. A mug with water filled all the way to the top will spill over when you place your lip stick tube(s) inside.
2. Heat the water to a safe and acceptable degree. Be careful NOT to burn yourself. 1 minute of heating should do the trick. You want the water to be hot – not boiling.
3. Submerge your lip gloss tube(s) into the water for 10 -to-15 minutes. Make certain the cap is still on the lip gloss. You don’t want water to get inside the tube.
4. Take the lip gloss from the water and remove the cap. The lip gloss should appear watery or slightly runny. Pour the lip gloss into a small empty container like a contact lens case. Wait for the gloss to cool before using.
Of course, if you’re not interested in putting in the extra work, you can always visit the Laugh SHINE Repeat online store for a new tube!
How to Get Rid of Chapped Lips in 40 Minutes
Your lips are a focal point on your face. Smooth, even, healthy lips can make you look more vibrant and attractive. People will notice your bright smile and be more receptive when you talk to them.

HOW TO CHOSE THE BEST LIP GLOSS COLORS TO GO WITH EVERYTHING
Although it would be nice, it’s not always feasible to own lip gloss in every shade imaginable. Sometimes just having one or two colors in your make-up bag will do the trick for both daytime and evening wear. Best rule of thumb when searching for an everyday lip gloss: Go for shades as close to your own lip tone as possible. For example, if your lips are brown, go for colors like Coco Puff or Bronze Ice. If your lips are pink, try Nibble or Bee Hive.
Don’t be afraid of bold colored glosses. Having at least one berry or plum colored gloss in your make up bag is good for those moments when you need a little extra “Umph” in your life. Check out Check out Laugh SHINE Repeat’s Black Cherry and Hot Lips at our online store.

HELP! I can't figure out which lip gloss shade will look best on me!
We get quite a few email messages about how to choose the right lip gloss color for individual skin tones. Following seasonal and style trends are always good starting points, but sometimes it’s not enough. When you look at yourself in the mirror, you should ALWAYS trust what you see and how the color makes you feel. The right lip gloss color for your skin tone will make everything about your features pop and SHINE!
Deep plum, chocolate or red is fabulous with dark or black skin. According to the editors of Allure's "Confessions of a Beauty Editor," women with dark skin "can go in one of two directions: toward brown or purple. Think caramel or walnut for day, and plum or wine for evening." We recommend: Coco Puff, Bronze Ice, and Black Cherry.
Women with fair skin, look great in lipstick shades such as nudes in a slightly apricot shade, pinks and light corals. Stay away from browns, which will appear blah. We recommend: Soap Star and Go Bare, Bee Hive
Those with a medium skin tone can go a bit darker. You'll look great in roses, mauves and berries. Skip the bright reds and consider a deep burgundy instead. We recommend: Sweetie Pie, Eclectic and Raisin

We're Always Open!
Not really feeling like leaving the house? Want to go shopping for new lip gloss? We can help! visit our online store!
4 EASY Lip Gloss Tips
Get the most out of your Laugh SHINE Repeat Glossware by trying these EASY tips!
1. Instead of putting gloss on like you do lipstick - (from left to right, top to bottom with a smack!) apply gloss to the middle of your bottom lip only. Rub lips together. This will keep gloss from going on too thickly & getting goopy on you.
2. Apply gloss over lipstick. I love the look of just a bit of gloss over a neutral lipstick. Again, dab just a bit in the center of lips and smooth out from there. Keeps you from applying too thickly.
3. Got too goopy? Smack lips between a tissue paper, just like you would lipstick.
4. To make gloss pop. Lighten lips with concealer before adding colored lip gloss.

Top Ten Reasons Why YOU should SMILE!
Laugh SHINE Repeat proudly supports The Go Red for Women Movement |
1. Smiling Makes Us Attractive
We are drawn to people who smile. There is an attraction factor. We want to know a smiling person and figure out what is so good. Frowns, scowls and grimaces all push people away -- but a smile draws them in (avoid these smile aging habits to keep your smile looking great).
2. Smiling Changes Our Mood
Next time you are feeling down, try putting on a smile. There's a good chance you mood will change for the better. Smiling can trick the body into helping you change your mood.
3. Smiling Is Contagious
When someone is smiling they lighten up the room, change the moods of others, and make things happier. A smiling person brings happiness with them. Smile lots and you will draw people to you.
4. Smiling Relieves Stress
Stress can really show up in our faces. Smiling helps to prevent us from looking tired, worn down, and overwhelmed. When you are stressed, take time to put on a smile. The stress should be reduced and you'll be better able to take action.
5. Smiling Boosts Your Immune System
Smiling helps the immune system to work better. When you smile, immune function improves possibly because you are more relaxed. Prevent the flu and colds by smiling.
6. Smiling Lowers Your Blood Pressure
When you smile, there is a measurable reduction in your blood pressure. Give it a try if you have a blood pressure monitor at home. Sit for a few minutes, take a reading. Then smile for a minute and take another reading while still smiling. Do you notice a difference?
7. Smiling Releases Endorphins, Natural Pain Killers and Serotonin
Studies have shown that smiling releases endorphins, natural pain killers, and serotonin. Together these three make us feel good. Smiling is a natural drug.
8. Smiling Lifts the Face and Makes You Look Younger
The muscles we use to smile lift the face, making a person appear younger. Don't go for a face lift, just try smiling your way through the day -- you'll look younger and feel better.
9. Smiling Makes You Seem Successful
Smiling people appear more confident, are more likely to be promoted, and more likely to be approached. Put on a smile at meetings and appointments and people will react to you differently.
10. Smiling Helps You Stay Positive
Try this test: Smile. Now try to think of something negative without losing the smile. It's hard. When we smile our body is sending the rest of us a message that "Life is Good!" Stay away from depression, stress and worry by smiling.
