What are some things that I can do for myself?


Girls, we are very hard on ourselves, and we usually spend so much time making other pepole happy, that we completlely forget about ourselves! I wanted to spend some time giving you ideas on how to pamper yourself, even for just an hour or two.

1. Buy candles in your favorite scent and relax! Don't read, don't think, just sit back and give yourself some time.

2. Take a hot bath with scented oils and soaps. It doesn't just feel great, it also cleanses you and replenishes your skin!

3. Spa day at home! Use cucumbers on your eyes, deep condition your hair, and moisturize your entire body. It's extremely rewarding!

4. Make a pot of green tea and play some soft music.

5. Take a nap! When was the last time you had one of those?

6. If anything comes to you, jot it down so you can do something creative with it later. But remember, no thinking about it now! It's time to relax.

7. Turn off everything in your house, and instead light a couple candles and enjoy the effects.

8. Sit by your window with the best view with something hot to drink, and take it in.

9. My favorite thing to do is sitting in a comfy rocking chair with commics. (commics are okay because they're funny and stress-free. On the other hand, a book is out of the question because it makes you think harder than looking at pictures and reading just a few words. Laugh away!)

10. Go swimming or sit in a hot tub. VERY relaxing.


Just a tip: Never read or watch anything while relaxing! The less you think, the more relaxed you are. Just enjoy your time. You can even combine any of the ideas I gave you to get an even greater effect.

How to Rock Wrist Warmers


Hey Girls!

Wrist warmers are all over the runways in the US and even across the world. They add just the right amount of sassy punk to any outfit! Here are some helpful hints and ideas for wearing them, including pics.


-For a punk look, match bright, multicolored wrist warmers, a baggy tee, skinny jeans, and dark heels or boots.

-For a chic look, go for bright nail polish! I found that yellow works the best for me, but also try reds and pinks.


Not only are they extremely fashionable, but they're cozy and warm too!

Purple Lipstick


Hello ladies!

Purple lipstick has been appearing all over the runways this fall, but some sources say that they will be in style more than ever this winter! This chic look can be easily worn with dark eye makeup and plain clothing, so that the look isn't "overdone". First apply dark eyeliner and mascara to both bottom and top lashes and lids. Next apply a light coating of foundation. Skip the blush, or otherwise you'll end up looking like a clown. Apply a dark purple lip pencil to both upper and lower lips. Then apply a lighter color of lipstick to your lips. Now for the finishing touches! Apply some clear gloss to both bottom and top lips for extra shine and style. This look can be worn as a nighttime look, or a daytime look. For work pair it with a classic black outfit. And when it's time to hit the town try wearing it with the never ending black dress or other dark colors.

Whitening strips


I've tried Crest, Equate, and Aquafresh. The one I found worked the best turned out to be the Equate whitening strips. They have more gel in them than the other ones. Aquafresh trays are less time consuming, but they don't whiten as well. Crest is alright. Crest strips are thin though, so the color changes more slowly.

Organix Coconut Shampoo and Conditioner Set


Organix has several hair care products on the market. The one I reviewed and found to be the best was the Coconut Shampoo and Conditioner set. It not only has a wonderful fragrance, but it also strengthens and smooths your hair cuticles which gives your hair a healthy glow and makes it easier to manage. It moistens your hair so that it doesn't get as many split ends. Overall I would give this hair product a 10/10. To use it, scrub your scalp with the shampoo until you get a lather. Then rinse thoroughly with hot water. The temperature is very important because it opens up your cuticles so that the conditioner can get in. Next apply the conditioner from the midshalft down, concentrating on the ends where hair tends to get the driest. Next rinse with cold water. The cold water locks in the conditioner, giving you shiny, healthy, beautiful hair.

Premature wrinkles


No woman wants to get premature wrinkles, and going to the spa everyday to get rid of them is really expensive. If you use makeup on your cheeks and eyes; apply it in an upward motion. Pulling your skin is a quick way to get wrinkly skin. Pulling it up pulls it less than any other way. Another way to stay clear away from wrinkles is to stay out of the sun or apply sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. Clean your skin well every three days or twice a week.

Makeup perfections


Let's talk makeup tips! Makeup is supposed to look some what natural. So don't pile on the green and blue eye shadow. *** For daytime looks go for a mellow shade. Browns, pinks, and oranges are the best ways to go.*** For evening looks makeup can be more dark. In dark lighting the darker the makeup is the more it will be noticeable. ***Eyeliner is good for bringing out your eyes.*** Eyelashes don't look natural when they are clumpy. ***To perfect your look, use a machanical mascara wand.*** These can transform a messy clump into gorgeous and defined masterpeices. Just like eyeshadow lipstick may not be the best idea in the daytime. ***For a more natural look carry around some light lipgloss or a lip pumper.*** In the night feel free to go heavy on the makeup though! Just make sure you can get it off at night. You should never go to bed with makeup on. It is not healthy for your skin. If you wear makeup for too long it will sink into your skin. Even glitter can be dangerous. The particals will go into your skin and stay there. ***Blush looks good at any time.*** Enjoy these tips! Now you can look fabulous without even trying!

Eye care


Here are some ways to pamper yourself and keep your eyes looking young and fresh. You can use potatoe slices on your eyes. Cucumbers also work well. They sooth your eyelids, and whiten the skin around them, bringing out your eyes. Never go to sleep while wearing eye makeup. Also be sure to not stretch out your eye lids when applying makeup. This causes premature wrinkles. You can try to use a Q-tip or your finger to press on the crease of your eye. This creates a taunt eye without creating the wrinkles.

Perfect hair volume


Need that extra push in the back? Is you hair too limp to fill out the features of your face? Try theese tips to have you looking gorgeous in simple steps.


In the back

If the back of your head is too flat:

Part your hair down the middle of your crown. Next take a rat-tail comb and tease a section in the back. Tease more sections at the back of your head until there is a large messy lump. Now pull sections from the middle and front back over the lump. Then hold in place with one hand while spraying with the other.


At the bottoms

If your hair is straight and tinning at the bottom:

Spray with a moisturiser just at the bottom. Now take a rat-tail comb and pull half of your hair on the top up. Next teasethe remaining hair at the bottoms. Let the rest of your hair down. Take a straightener and straighten the hair that is not teased on top. Straighten from just below the roots to the bottom, curving the bottom in as your reach it.


These tips should help you get the great-looking hair that you deserve!

How to wash your hair correctly


Healthy hair is maintained only by how well you wash it. Here is the correct way to wash your hair, while leaving it shiny, full of volume, and silky.


~ Comb hair thoroughly.

~ Squirt a small puddle of shampoo into your hand.

~ Apply to scalp (top of head).

~ Wash well (nly from top of hair to middle, the ends will become dry if washed).

~ Rinse thouroughly.

~ Repeat all steps (the first time is for washing, and the second time is for shine and ridding the hair of any excess dead skin cells in the hair).

~ Apply a genorous ammount of conditioner from the ends of your hair to the middle. You do not want your scalp tp be greasy.

~ Pull hair back into a ponytail, bun, or put it in a showercap.

~ Release hair after five minutes.

~ Comb hair through with wide tooth comb.

~ Rinse thouroughly.



Now enjoy your new shiny and silky-smooth hair with tons of volume!

Skincare


%Skincare tip#1: Drink at least 10 cups of water a day. Hydrating your skin is the most important tip!


Skincare tip #2: Eat at least 3 servings of fruit and vegetables every day! Your skin needs the essential vitamins in plants.


Skincare tip #3: Wash your skin every day and exfoliate every week. New skin cells can't be made if there is nowhere to put them. Rub and scrub all of the dead cells away!


Skincare tip#4: Stay out of the sun as much as possible. Or you can use an spf of at least 40. The sun creates wrinkles in your skin, and it dehydrates your entire body.


Skincare tip #5: Get at least 10 hours of sleep. Or at least try! When we sleep our bodies rebuild cells and replace dead ones.

Skin whitening


There are some home remedies that are said to whiten your skin. However not all of them do a very good job. A lot of times they leave splots on your skin. I would recomend a skin whitening product. GirLite Girindus has a a nice skin whitening product. It may be costy but it will definately show results!

Good quality clothes

When you go to try on a clothing item when you are shoping, you should always check the fabric. Try to stretch it out with your hands. If you can hear the strings break then the cloth is no good. Next try it on. Spread out your arms and legs, move around, put your arms behind your back, and maybe jump a little. Some clothes stretch out and get ruined when you move around. Just becuase its cute does not mean it will last.

The best appliction


Great brushes make for a great application. When you get a makeup kit always through out the brushes that come with it. Even the best companies want to save money on brushes, so they use the cheapest ones to put in your kit. The best breushes are natrually the most expensive, so don't be afraid to splurge on them! It is very unlikely to find a great set of brushes for a nice price. Keep this advice close to mind the next time you go shopping for cosmetics. Great brushes are easy to use, and easy to make your application look like its a million bucks!

New stylish jeans are one of the must haves this summer. Jeans that are made to wear at night, that won't cause you to sweat, that aren't too tight on your legs. Well the new style must have jean this summer is perfect for all of your needs! Wide legs! These are fantastic, and they can be worn at night, or in the daytime. They aren't too hot.

The fit diet tip


Keeping or getting skinny is one of those things that every woman wants. Try buying a really nice, hot dress that you can just barely fit into. Then when you are tempted to eat something when you are not hungry go try on the dress. Think about how you like your feel in it, and the temptation will be gone like that!
