<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">Many of you know that one of our most tried and true &#8220;beauty tips&#8221; for younger looking skin here at Southern Beauty is sleeping on a satin pillowcase.  Well, Girls, I think I have now found a pillowcase &#8220;fit for a Queen&#8221; in the Branché Charmeuse Case.  Not only is it made of beautiful and t</span></span><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">hick silk charmeuse, it is also incredibly soft and resilient and is truly the ultimate in luxury.<span id="more-8869"></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">Sleeping on a satin pillowcase protects the delicate facial skin and prevents wrinkles by minimizing facial creases.  It also extends the life of your hairstyle by diminishing frizz and helps keep curls smooth.  Another great benefit is that it reduces hair loss and breakage and it also helps promote a more restful night of much needed sleep.  This is a fact that cannot be denied as I now find that I just <em>can&#8217;t</em> sleep without my Charmeuse Case!</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-9142" title="brachepic" src="http://www.sobeautymag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/brachepic.jpg" alt="" width="249" height="358" />Donna Hinds, the creator and owner of Branché, was b</span></span><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">orn and raised in the small town of Hannibal, Missouri, famous for Mark Twain&#8217;s boyhood stories.  As a child, Donna had always admired the smooth satiny pillow slip which had been part of her mother&#8217;s bridal trousseau.  </span></span><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">Donna&#8217;s early love of textiles unfolded into creating Branché, her own line of women&#8217;s fashion and in 1994, Branché became one of the first environmentally friendly lines.  The name, taken from the French term for “hip” &amp; “connected”, was perfect for the company that is a true reflection of Donna&#8217;s personality which incorporates her design degree with her yoga certification, energetic healing studies and organic lifestyle. </span></span></p>
<div>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">Donna earned a BA in marketing from the University of Denver and a Certificate in Fashion Design from The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles.  Aware of the healing power of color, Donna helped revamp the fashion industry by infusing color into the very beige-and-black fashion world of the mid-1990s with her own line.  While s</span></span><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">elling to over 800 specialty boutiques (including Nordstrom) Donna was faced with the challenge of needing to look like a fashionable clothing designer and business professional.  The fashion side was no problem but her demanding work schedule left little time and attention for her hair.</span></span></p>
<div>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">Remembering how her mother&#8217;s polyester satin pillow slip used to keep her hairstyle looking great between weekly visits to the hairdresser, and deciding to use silk charmeuse, one of her favorite fabrics, Donna created a pillow slip for her own use.  To her surprise, not only did her hair look great when she got up each morning, she also realized that she no longer woke with creases on her face.</span></span></p>
</div>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9106" title="Branche-Blush on-silk" src="http://www.sobeautymag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Branche-Blush-on-silk-550x419.jpg" alt="" width="385" height="293" /></span></span></p>
</div>
<div><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">Silk’s magical qualities have been recognized in many cultures for thousands of years but Donna did even more research and discovered that silk is used in post-surgical healing and for rapid recovery from trauma.  By using her knowledge of fabrics and her own personal experiences, </span></span><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">Donna has created the perfect pillow slip that can preserve all of the beauty benefits offered by the Charmeuse Case while surviving repeated washings.</span></span></div>

<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;"><img class="size-full wp-image-9143 alignleft" title="BrancheBDN-LavenderFloatweb2" src="http://www.sobeautymag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/BrancheBDN-LavenderFloatweb2.jpg" alt="" width="285" height="199" /></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">Beautiful and functional.  Two very important words for any girl interested in finding a little luxury for herself, especially in today&#8217;s fast-paced, modern day world.  Branché also makes the Belle De Nuit Eye Masque which is as soft and comfortable as the pillow slip.  </span></span><span style="color: #000000;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">The Branché Charmeuse Case retails from $55 &#8211; $104 and the Belle De Nuit Eye Masque sells for $38.  Please visit <a href="http://www.branchebeautysleep.com">www.branchebeautysleep.com</a></span></span><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;"> for more information. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: small;">Sweet dreams! </span></span></p>
