Sijay Releases Latest Album, Detroit Club, With Soul Music Tracks

  

Between 2000 and 2009, after fronting several different bands including Lobster Newberg, recording two Studio albums and a grueling National tour, Sijay couldn’t get in the studio fast enough to create his new Soul album “Detroit Club”. Within only a month, he wrote and recorded half a dozen songs that explored genres yet to be pioneered. With influences ranging from the funk and soul of Herbie Hancock, and Stevie Wonder to the alternative rock styling of Donald Fagen, Phish and Joni Mitchell, Sijay’s album “Detroit Club’ combines these genres, and mixes some RandB and jazz.

His label is giving away the full length lead single “Detroit Club” when you sign up for Sijay’s newsletter. To get your free download, Click here and hear for yourself!

This 22-year old defies expectations of what a 22-year should sound like. Sijay projects the experience and vocals of a veteran artist. While listening to the songs off of “Detroit Club,” you forget that this is such a young man singing! He has the soulfulness that defines the Soul genre.

Sijay is that breath of fresh air in a generation that has become used to auto-tuning, and loud beats drowning out poor singers. Sijay is like no other in his class, and would duet seamlessly with talents like the Queen of Soul herself Aretha Franklin. “Detroit Club” is what soul should sound like in this day and age.

Healthy Foods that Help Mom Lose Weight

Some of my friends recommended a new healthy diet that came with the FitGirl iPhone app at www.FitGirlApp.com. After trying it out for a short time, I’m feeling great and I’m more energetic due to eating healthier and calorie controll. It doesn’t even feel like a diet. Did I mention I’m never starving!? The FitGirlApp has really good video instructions, plus written instructions on eating healthier, as well as offering a choice of 2 calorie cutting whole food diet programs that are designed to work together with the recommended workouts. They have a video as an example of what the 99 cent app covers at: www.youtube.com/watch?v=psaYIPaeFYA

Get Clear Skin With Natural Remedies For Acne

If you are like me, the embarrassment of my acne in high school is well – all encompassing.  I’ll do anything (including kind of covering my face with my hands which makes it worse from the oil and dirt on my hands) when I’m talking to a boy.

I’ve spent so much money trying a variety of acne remedies including Proactiv, Neutrogena, Oil of Olay, Burts Bees and Yes to Carrots (I’m sure there were others!).  While a couple did help a little, nothing cured my acne and all but one made my skin so dry and irritated . 

Then, I got a gift from my aunt who is into all natural stuff.  I was skeptical that this would work since  it  only comes with a bar and an oil - just  two products to “get your best skin ever”.  This treatment is as simple as washing your face without the complicated regimens products like Proactiv has, and it works on your whole body – not just your face and it works immediately.   Plus it doesn’t dry out my skin at all, in fact it kinda gives me a smooth glow!

I’ve used it for 6 months and have been more than pleased with my new skin!  When I went to buy it again at www.swellskin.net it was a little pricey, but as my mom figured out, since the bar lasts about 1 year and the oil lasts about 6 months, it comes out  to just $8 a month and it works amazingly – a bargain in my book!

Fighting Common Skin Disorder and Get Beautiful Skin for Busy Moms

I had been using the same skin foundation/illuminator at $10 a tube for about 8 years. As a working mom, I enjoy having some routine in my hectic schedule, especially with my make-up. One of my pet peeves is when I get used to a cosmetic and they stop making it. So I searched the web and I found the same brand/product on Ebay and stocked up on 5 tubes costing $38 each. Once those were gone, I went back on Ebay to find that the cost had risen to over a $100 a tube. So I began the search to find a replacement product.

I couldn’t find any single product like the one I had used. I now had multiple bottles foundation requiring a face cream to make it spread evenly, plus an illuminator; a 3 step process. I’d spent over $500, and nothing was working.

On the rare occasion that I get time to go out with my friends, one of them had the most amazing looking skin, like it was airbrushed. When I asked what she was using she started laughing because she said that she wasn’t even wearing make up!   All she uses is a soap called Swell  and an occasional droplet of Swell Sea Buckthorn Oil. She said it replaced her wrinkle cream, blemish cover and often her makeup.

Only available at www.SwellSkin.net, I ordered the two items for $49 which may seem high but isn’t when you consider that the bar lasts a year, and you don’t need to use the oil everyday. While I haven’t sworn off makeup altogether, unlike prior to using SwellSkin, I wouldn’t go out without makeup, and now it ‘s no sweat!

Home Treatment For Natural Beauty: Cosmetics Free Sea Buckthorn Oils

I recently tried a cosmetics free product called Swell Skin sea buckthorn after I heard the famous Doctor from the afternoon TV show talking about this natural pant extract, for natural beauty. After years of using the same inefficient home treatment for skin care, I finally found a natural remedy to clean up and tone my skin and I have never, ever had better skin then I have now. 

A natural remedy, the wonders of Sea Buckthorn oils are referred in thirty chapters of The Sibu Yidian, the Classic Tibetan medical book and it is assumed that the plant was actually created by an ancient Tibetan plant breeder. A plant of his magnitude could not have existed in nature, for it too perfect.

Traditional uses of Sea Buckthorn oils promote the recuperation of skin injuries and support the healing of skin diseases. If you have acne, dermatitis or just sunburn, you will be amazed by the results provided by Swell Skin.

Never again will I use harsh prescriptions for my skin problems.  Swell Skin cleared up my eczema.  It even cleared up (yuk) that nasty toe fungus I picked up at a salon while getting a pedicure.

New App for Woman to Help Your Diet and Increase Weight Loss

I checked out several apps for women’s weight loss and diet and I found that many of them are way too time consuming.  The one that found works best for me is the FitGirlApp.

It helps burn fat, gain strength and endurance. I’m easily bored but this app mixes it up with over 100 fat burning workouts that target specific trouble areas and sweats away 800 plus calories with cardio boxing, boot camp and other sessions.  I like that there’s 3 different levels available. Some days I might have the energy to do advanced, but other days, beginner or intermediate

The FitGirlApp has really good video instructions, plus written instructions, and also offers 2 calorie cutting whole food diet programs that are designed to work in tandem with the recommended workouts.

No cosmetics- Home treatment for how to even out skin tone

 

You know when you get used to a cosmetic and they stop making it? Well it happened to me. I had been using a combo skin foundation/illuminator at $10 a tube that lasted about 3 months. Then it was discontinued. I found some on Ebay and stocked up on 5 tubes costing $38 each. Once those were gone, I went back on Ebay to find that the cost had risen to over a $100 a tube. So I began the search to find a replacement product.

I couldn’t find any single product like the one I had used. I now had multiple bottles foundation requiring a face cream to make it spread evenly, plus an illuminator; a 3 step process. I’d spent over $500, and nothing was working.

I went out with a friend and her skin looked amazing like it was airbrushed, even toned with a natural glow. When I asked what she was using she started laughing because she said that she wasn’t even wearing make up!   All she uses is a soap called Swell and an occasional droplet of Swell Sea Buckthorn Oil. She said it replaced her wrinkle cream, blemish cover and often her makeup.

Only available at www.SwellSkin.net, I ordered the two items for $49 which may seem high but isn’t when you consider that the bar lasts a year, and you don’t need to use the oil everyday.

Fans of Bat For Lashes Will Love New Songs from Latest Album “Leave it Behind” by Indie Artist Lee-Leet

I found this artist Lee-Leet that I love – I found her from a track she did for Rock Band. I’m a big fan of Within Temptation, PJ Harvey and Bat for Lashes and those kind of bands which are similar to her sound. Her newest album, which came out in November, is called "Leave it Behind". You can preview the album here

Her music is a form of art rock, with progressive and avant-garde influences. In her lyrics, she talks about emotions, difficult relationships, love, spirituality, metaphysics, disappointment, hope and the quest for the intangible. Lee-Leet is for people who are seeking transcendence in art and who are interested in sharing the emotional experience it conveys.

Lee-Leet is an example of how independent artists can reach out to their audiences through the Internet, thus bypassing record labels. As an example, fans all over the world financed her current European tour via SellaBand music website.

Oh, and BTW, the title song made it to the No. 3 spot on the Polish rock charts at Antyradio in its first week. Check out the video for the title track here
As a result, Lee-Leet was pointed out in a press article, arguing that the era of major record labels is over, and the onset of a new era, in which independent artists reach out to their audience through the Internet, is happening presently.

Lee-Leet is the first Polish artist on Rock Band, whose beautiful love song “So High” has been licensed by the video game giant.
