Dreaming of beautiful Nails? April 25, 2012 13:24
If you have been dreaming all your life to get that beautiful nails for your hands and did not fulfill the same, stop dreaming and start working on getting your nails and hands better; Aromatherapy Manicure A wonderful treat after a busy day is to indulge in a luxurious aromatherapy manicure. Simply mix a few drops of your favourite essential oils into a fragrance-free massage lotion and massage your hands and arms for about five minutes each. Your skin will feel silky smooth and you will feel refreshed, relaxed and renewed. Milk Manicure If you have dry hands or feet, spoil yourself with a milk manicure or pedicure. Firstly soak your hands and feet in milk at room temperature. Then clean your nails, file them and finish off by massaging a Lactic Acid Milk Mask into your skin, to nourish, soften and smooth the skin and cuticles. Filing Your Nails The Right Way Don't file your nails too fast as you can create heat and friction which can be very damaging to your nail. Never saw back and forth at the sides of your nail or cuticle areas as this can cause redness - use short precise strokes, filing one side of the nail and then the other. Stop Nail Peeling One of the best ways to prevent nail peeling is to avoid using harsh nail polish removers, detergents and dark nail polishes. To quickly improve your nails, cut your nails short, buff then moisturize them twice daily with a vitamin E lotion and don't use any nail polish for at least one month and you will find that your nails will soon be restored to optimum health. Polishing Nails Perfectly When applying nail polish always apply the polish vertically to the entire nail, then swipe the brush sideways across the tip of the nail to seal the polish for a longer lasting manicure. Hangnail Care Hangnails are caused by excess dryness or unnecessary cuticle cutting and can become easily infected because hands come in contact with dirt, grime and germs. To avoid this, trim away the excess skin, then apply an antibiotic ointment. Pierce a 400 IU-vitamin E capsule and massage a drop into hangnail to soften and speed healing. Cuticle Care When spoiling yourself with a home manicure or pedicures, take the time to treat delicate cuticles with a little extra TLC by applying a cuticle cream to the nails on your hands and feet, followed by soak in warm water. Use an orange stick to push your cuticles back while soft from the soaking and remember, never cut them or you could end up hurting yourself and damaging your skin. Nail Hardener Overdose Formaldehyde overdose happens as a result of over enthusiastic overuse of a nail hardening product, this can leave your nails dry, stiff and brittle. If your nails become brittle, don't apply more hardener to try to make your nails harder - you will actually do more harm thengood. Try to work on a cycle of giving your nails a rest for one month following three months of use. Keep a nail file handy As soon as you notice a nail begin to catch on something, gently file away the rough place. Small splits quickly turn into large tears which then mean the nail needs to be cut. Quick action with a file can often save the nail. If you don't have one handy, anything with a slightly rough surface will do in a pince - wooden fences, rulers, chopping boards the part of a matchbook used for striking the match and popsicle sticks have all worked for me in the past! Use for a file in a pinch.

Look traditional as well! April 24, 2012 13:05
It's not only shopping and considering what are you wearing on a special occasion, it is also about how are you transforming your look with a perfect make up. Here are some tips that you can look into if you are going for a contemporary make up style; The first thing that you should do when trying to update your look is to gather what you have and determine whether or not is still necessary or in good enough shape to keep. Then, visit some makeup blogs and YouTube to see what the "ladies in the know" are experimenting and reviewing right now. For instance, you may find on many social networking sites, that many ladies are only lining the bottom lid for very specific looks or with an eyeshadow in a complimentary color rather than a traditional black pencil. This is right on trend and a very easy way to use what you already have in your makeup kit to update your look. Highlighting and contouring the face is another fantastic trend that you can use to bring light to the eye and cheekbone for a fresh, young look. For the eye, remember to keep a pearly, iridescent shadow around for the inner corner of the eye (feel free to sweep a little under the inner third of the bottom lid as well), and the area just under the arch of the brow. For the face, lighter skin tones will want to go with either a bronzer or a pearly, iridescent highlight. Darker tones can also use a shimmery (not glittery) bronzer or a more gold or bronze toned highlight product. Apply the product lightly at the top of the cheekbone area, then apply a natural pink or peachy toned blush to the mid to lower cheekbone and sweep upward. make surethat the product is well blended so that neither sticks out too much from the other. If using a bronzer to contour, you can definitely use the classic matter bronzer in the shape of a "3" from the middle of the forehead down to the hollow of your cheek and down to the chin. Change your foundation! Foundation is so scientifically advanced these days that its unbelievable. There are myriads of foundations that are great for the skin, providing anti-aging benefits, and are even fortified with minerals and botanicals. There is no longer any excuse for walking around with the wrong foundation for your skin type. Foundations exist to meet every need imaginable from dry skin to oily, from mature skin to youthful, from the light wearer to the person that reapplies several times a day. Don't be so overly concerned about remaining loyal to a brand that you won't try anything else. Unless you have insanely sensitive skin, it won't do your skin any harm to get a few samples and try something that you may like better. Here are some other quick tips that you can try to spice things up a bit if you're feeling bored: -Try a different color eyeliner. Violets and plums have been on trend for a few seasons and this will continue into the Fall. Great for brown eyes and darker skin tones that feel like they are stuck in a black liner rut. -Skip the lip liner. Precisely lined lips have their place, but maybe not for an everyday look. the pouty, natural lip is in and lightly stained lips have been all over the place right now. If you feel too bare, then add a sheer pink gloss to the lip stain you've chosen and I think you'll really like the result. Definitely just say no to the dark brown and black lip liner trick from the 80's.

Celebrating Rain..celebrating your Beauty! April 23, 2012 13:38
We are celebrating the weather out there, so celebrate it more with a perfect make up on this perfect day, that would make you look 'rightly' beautiful; Switch to an anti-frizz shampoo and conditioner. That "anti-frizz" label you see on hair-care products isn't just a marketing ploy to get you to buy them. These really combat frizz and keep hair smooth and manageable. Most work by locking moisture in our hair to prevent dryness, and stops more moisture from seeping in to keep hair from looking limp. Another way to fight frizz is to apply an anti-frizz serum on your hair and misting it with a layer of hairspray. This ensures hair stays neat and shiny. Use a makeup base or primer. A lot of women skip this step, but I can never do without it. I've discovered that the right kind of base or primer will keep your makeup in place no matter the weather condition. These come in spray, foam or cream, which shouldn’t matter because most brands I’ve tried help makeup glide on smoother and keeps longer without streaking. Wear the smallest amount of makeup possible if you are planning to go outdoors on rainy days. But if you have to wear eyeshadow, pat on some concealer to make the powder adhere to your lids. Don’t forget to use waterproof mascara to prevent unsightly raccoon eyes. For blush, a cream or liquid formula is best, as long as you apply it before setting your foundation with powder. A slight swipe of powder will make the color refuse to budge, resulting in streaky cheeks. However, Carlos warned that waterproof makeup should not be used on a regular basis. Never use waterproof makeup every day,?he said. ?At the most, you should use it twice a week because prolonged use of waterproof makeup can darken your skin, especially delicate areas like your lips.? For instance, waterproof mascara can make your lashes brittle and silicone can dry out your skin, so always moisturize properly and remove all traces of makeup afterwards. Also, disregard makeup when you don't really need it. While it sounds like common sense to avoid using makeup in places such as the beach or while doing water sports, you’ll be surprised at the number of people who insist on using mascara, concealer and blush when they know they are going to get drenched anyway.

Get back in shape… quick! April 21, 2012 17:35
Today the trend itself is like that. Everything is needed to be completed fast and we are in love with all those quick results… so, here are tips for you to get back into shape ‘Quick’; The next factor you should consider is increasing your cardiovascular exercise this week. Now, don't take this to mean you should begin marathon-like training sessions as that is a fantastic way to sideline yourself fast. Rather, simply add a few extra sessions this week above what you would normally do or lengthen the ones you are currently doing by 10-15 minutes. This will serve to burn a few extra calories, thus helping you to potentially see a one to two pound weight loss while also helping to stave off food cravings. Most people find that when they get a sudden urge to eat, if they head outside for a quick ten minute power walk, upon returning the craving has disappeared. So if an extra bout of cardio can keep you out of the pantry, it is well worth your time. One of the biggest mistakes individuals make when trying to drop weight quickly is to avoid strength training at all costs. They think that if anything strength training will cause their weight to go up and since that is opposite of their aim, it should be avoided. Unfortunately that is farthest from the truth. One of the best things about strength training is that it increases your metabolism for a long period after the training is done. That means you will be burning more calories while you are sitting on the couch watching your favourite reality show later in the evening. Who wouldn't want that? Additionally, weight training will help get the blood moving through your muscles, bringing more oxygen and nutrients to the muscle fibers and helping them look more defined. To you this means a tighter stomach, less under arm jiggle and a firmer back end. More water? That's right, contrary to what you are likely thinking after reading point one about trying to reduce the amount of water your body is carrying, drinking more water will actually help this process along. The reason for this is because if you happen to eat something in your diet that is higher in sodium, that can cause you to also retain more water. I'm sure you've experienced it before, waking up the morning after a party when you've consumed your fair share of snack foods such as peanuts, chips, pickles or pizza and discovered the number on the scale has shot upwards. Likewise, you probably also noticed that within a day or two your weight returned back to normal. This is your body getting itself back to homeostasis with regards to its sodium and potassium levels. Right now, your goal is to prevent it from becoming out of balance in the first place. Drinking more water is going to accomplish this. As long as you can deal with one or two extra trips to the bathroom each day this week, pouring yourself an extra glass before each meal is a very smart thing to do. Believe it or not, your stress level is also going to play a role in how good your body looks come the big day. When we are stressed our bodies have a tendency to increase cortisol output. Cortisol is a hormone, produced by the adrenal gland that signals the body to prepare to fight. When its levels become high, you will actually notice that you have higher cravings for carbohydrates, which as you learned above, is something you want to avoid. Taking time each day this week to read a book, take a bath, do some yoga, or whatever else relaxes you will help to keep cortisol levels lower and keep both your mind and body feeling fresh. So next time you are under pressure to get ready for a special occasion and are tempted to resort to drastic measures, you may want to rethink your plan. With a week of proper planning and implementation you can arrive at the function looking great and enjoy yourself in the process.

For a right upper body shape! April 20, 2012 12:39
It’s not just being fat or thin, even the irregular body shape of ours might be a constraint for our worry. This will further put us in a fix as to what to wear, how to look and how to carry our overall personality. Above the rest all, even the fat that has accumulated in our hands and upper body might cause much of pain to us. Here are some quick tips to reduce the fat in your hands and upper arms; in order to get rid of hand fats, it is important to understand the root cause of the problem. Given the fact that junk food is such a common meal option owing to the convenience it offers in our fast paced lives, it is easy to forget that this type of food actually deprives our bodies of the essential minerals, proteins and vitamins that it requires to remain well maintained. The only component that these foods contain are empty calories - which serve no other purpose than simply being converted into fat cells and stored within the fat tissue of the body - in your case, the arms more often than other parts. Make sure that you consume healthy fruits and vegetables while also switching to foods that contain unsaturated fats, whole grain type carbohydrates and lean meats. Make sure you remain hydrated at all times as well. You can reduce hand fat and arm fat by following a regular exercise routine that includes exercises that target these problem areas. Exercising with dumbbells is also a good option as this helps to tone the muscles and reduce hand fat. Hand fats can be stubborn and so it may take a few weeks to notice any changes but it is important to stick to your exercise schedule. You will need to make sure that your exercise routine includes at least one simple biceps exercise to reduce hand fat. Brisk walking is also a great exercise to reduce hand fat as it helps to increase your metabolic rate, tone your muscles, and the pumping action of your arms while brisk walking helps to reduce hand fat. Your fingers might naturally be fat. If there are no associated complications, there is nothing to panic. Reducing a particular area of the body is not easy. Dehydration is a typical feature of swollen hands. Improper circulation also causes swelling hands. Sometimes, oedema or accumulation of water results in fat hands and fingers. It is also seen to occur during walking sessions. An occasional arm circle is helpful. Wear loose fitting clothes without elastics, as constriction by clothes causes inflammation or water retention. Keep your hands relaxed, especially while walking. Sweating results in electrolyte imbalance. Water and salt intake are hindered. Sports drinks or energy drinks are useful. If your hands fail to become normal, post walk, refer to your physician. At certain instances, lack of arm movement also results in fat hands, due to centrifugal force. Walking with your hands below the heart level affects. Swinging the hands while walking prevents the same. Placing the hands over the head proves beneficial. Carpal tunnel syndrome causes swelling in the wrists. If none of these is the culprit, do not bother about it.

For a Clear – Natural Vision! April 19, 2012 13:27
Even though specs are a part of fashion industry, not every time to every occasion these are suitable for us to wear. Apart from putting on lens and even going for a lesic surgery, here are some more tips on how you can improve your eye sight, naturally; Look as far to your right as possible for 3-5 seconds, then as far to your left as possible for 3-5 seconds. Rest for a few seconds, and then repeat this sequence several times. Look as far up as possible for 3-5 seconds, then look as far down as possible for 3-5 seconds. Rest for a few seconds, and then repeat this sequence several times. Slowly roll your eyes in a circle, first clockwise, then counter-clockwise. Rest for a few seconds, then repeat this sequence several times. Be sure to roll slowly - it should take at least 3 seconds for you to roll your eyes in a full circle. Hold a pen in front of you, about an arm's length away. Focus your vision on the tip of your pen for 3-5 seconds, then shift the focus of your vision to an object that is farther away for 3-5 seconds. The greater the distance between your pen and the distant object, the better. If you are indoors, look out a window to find a distant object to focus your vision on. Repeat this sequence of going back and forth between your pen and a distant object several times. Just for interest's sake, this exercise is used by some professional baseball players to optimize visual acuity, which is essential for the hand-eye coordination that is needed to play pro ball. Figure of Eight: This is to exercise your eye muscles and increase their flexibility. This is quite a simple exercise but a good one. Imagine a giant figure of eight in front of you about 10 feet in front of you. Now turn the 8 on its side. Now trace the figure of eight with your eyes, slowly. Do it one way for a few minutes and then do it the other way for a few minutes. It may seem very alien at first but it’s worth persevering with it.

Dandruff free clear scalp! April 12, 2012 20:32
No doubt, a beautiful and a healthy hair is an asset for our beauty… but, just imagine your hair covering that dry and scaly scalp? Ohh… not at all a good option right? Then better not go for it… just get rid of that dry and scaly scalp, before it starts becoming a hurdle to your beauty and in turn your peace… It is better to Shampoo your hair less often. shampooing too often can contribute to dry scalp. Shampooing excessively can strip the scalp of the natural oils that keep it moisturized. Use less shampoo. If you use too much shampoo, you increase the chances that residue will be left behind. Richard Stein, hairstylist and author of "Set Free: The Book About Hair," states that failure to thoroughly rinse any product out of the hair causes scalp irritation and flakiness. Avoid extremely hot water. Hot water can dry out the skin and aggravate a dry, flaky scalp. The same is true for heat styling products such as a blow-dryer. Excessive heat can cause the scalp to become irritated and dry. According to Neutrogena Cosmetics, using heat to dry your hair will make the scalp even more flaky, as well as cause damage to the hair shaft. Give yourself a scalp massage. A scalp massage causes blood to flow to the scalp, and helps clear any blocked pores that may be interfering with sebum production. Sebum is the oil produced in the sebaceous glands of the scalp. Massaging the scalp also loosens excess dead skin and dandruff, making it easier to wash away. Give yourself a scalp massage before or during your shampoo, or even when you're relaxing in front of the TV. Putting olive oil on your fingertips before the massage gives your scalp added benefits. After the massage, continue with an olive oil treatment. Apply an olive oil treatment to the scalp. Dip your fingers into olive oil. Apply the oil to your scalp, using gentle circular motions. Cover the entire scalp, but not the length of the hair. Once the scalp is covered with oil, cover the head with plastic wrap or a shower cap. Cover the plastic wrap with a warm towel, and leave on for 45 minutes. Rinse well with lukewarm water, then shampoo as usual. If you condition your hair after the shampoo, do not apply conditioner to the scalp. Instead, apply conditioner starting 1 inch from the scalp and down to the ends.

Best Mascara for your best Eye lashes! April 10, 2012 12:32
When selecting mascara, many factors come into play, with each brands newest addition to the line claiming bigger and better benefits. From thickening to lengthening to blackest black, waterproof and curling, each mascara product has a special offering of its own. Considering your own lashes, choose one that best suits your needs. If you wish to avoid that scary-looking metal eyelash curler that appears more like an ancient torture devise, opt for a product that contains a curling formula. Choose the color you want to wear - black, brown or even navy blue. With so many options available, you can add a couple types of mascara to your collection and change your look as often as you like! Generally, applying two coats of mascara will give enough definition to lashes to really make a difference. Allow the first coat to dry before applying the second in an effort to prevent clumping. If some of the mascara accidentally brushes onto your eyelids or underneath, simply use a q-tip to remove it. This may necessitate touching up your eye shadow a bit. The final touch to your eye makeup is the lash. Try to always use an eyelash curler. It will make your eyes look wider, more alert, and more youthful. It's like an instant eye lift. Always curl lashes befor applying mascara. Lightly powder lashes to give mascara a coat to cling to. Heat eyelash curler with hair dryer for a few seconds. It will act like a curling iron for the eyes. Curl twice for a rounded curl. Place the open curl near the lash roots and arrange your lashes between the two rims. Squeeze gently for thirty seconds. Squeeze again at mid-lash for another thirty-seconds. It looks very natural. Give upper lashes a second coat of mascara, concentrating on the tips by stroking the brush horizontally across the lash. Never wait when applying second coat of mascara to lashes. Mascara, especially waterproof mascara, dries quickly and can clump. Lightly coat lower lashes. Another most important aspect; Eyeliner To really define your eyes, apply a thin line of eyeliner in black or brown, khaki, plum or navy. To properly apply the eyeliner pencil or liquid liner, gently pull the corner of your eye outward, forming a straight line along your lashes. Starting at the inside corner and working toward the outside, delicately trace a line with the pencil angled toward your lashes. Be careful how much eyeliner you apply, as a little really does go a long way. For a dramatic look, thicker and darker is very acceptable. For a subtle definition, stick with a lighter application. Let your eyes speak volumes and express all your emotions. All you need to do is add some more expressions to your eyes and lashes… trust me, you would look your best!
