Never go to bed with makeup on!</strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">Makeup left on overnight will seep into your pores forming clogs, irritations, and congestions. Always wash your face at least twice daily.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"><strong></strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;color:#cc33cc;"><strong>2. Exfoliate!</strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">After washing your face, use a gentle delicate scrub to remove dead skin cells on the surface and help bring forward fresh vibrant cells. Tip - If you don't have a scrub on hand, try using a tablespoon of sugar or oatmeal instead.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;color:#cc33cc;"><strong>3. Make use of a facial mask!</strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">Facial masks a great for promoting moist healthy skin. Excellent mask products are available through your favorite beauty retailers. Looking to save some money? Making your own mask at home is easy and fun! Banana, Avocado, and yogurt work well. Just place your desired ingredients in a blender and gently blend to a smooth consistency.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;color:#cc33cc;"><strong>4. Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize!</strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">Always make use of a good moisturizing product daily. Always wash your face prior to applying your moisturizer. Tip - You can gently apply a thin layer of vitamin A or C on your face prior to applying your moisturizer to promote a soft and healthy looking tone.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;color:#cc33cc;"><strong>5. Avoid cheap cosmetics!</strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">The pure simple fact of the matter is that often times; inexpensive products are poorly made and poorly tested if at all. This does not mean that you must go out and buy the most expensive products that you can find. Start with moderately priced cosmetics and sample several brands until you find one that works well for you.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"><strong><span style="color:#cc33cc;">6. Be Gentle!</span></strong> </span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">Never push, pull, stretch, or harshly scrub your face. Do not pick at existing acne, scars, or blemishes, EVER! Doing so can damage the skin and increase the chances of developing wrinkles and other unsightly blemishes. Treat yourself as if you were an infant. We all know how soft their skin is!</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;color:#cc33cc;"><strong>7. Protect yourself from the sun!</strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">This one seems obvious and yet I can't think of one person that I know that regularly makes use of sunscreen on a daily basis. Use protective sunglasses, hats, or visors for quick trips out and be sure to re-apply sunscreen after swimming or physical exertion. </span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;color:#cc33cc;"><strong>8. Keep hydrated!</strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">This is one of the most important and often overlooked aspects of skin care. Water not only makes up the largest percentage of our body mass but also acts as the river that carries away toxins and waste and keeps our system running at optimal health. But drinking water will make me look bloated. WRONG! This is a myth. Your body will naturally regulate the amount of water it retains in order to operate efficiently. Water retention is often a symptom of some other condition. Drinking water alone and keeping properly hydrated does not cause bloating and could very well be the missing ingredient in your skin care regiment.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;color:#cc33cc;"><strong>9. Release stress!</strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">Stress can be one of the most detrimental factors to achieving healthy skin. Stress causes the body to release chemicals that can have a negative impact on your skin. Simple remedies such as exercise, relaxation, and simply some alone time can often do the trick. A quick trip to the spa once in a while doesn't hurt either. </span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;color:#cc33cc;"><strong>10. Get more sleep!</strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">Long term sleep depravation can cause droopy skin around the eyes and in the forehead area. Ideally, you should strive for a minimum of 8 hours of quality sleep each night to look and feel your best.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;color:#cc33cc;"><strong>11. Use a good toner!</strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">As skin ages, it begins to loose its elasticity. Toning can help keep the skin clear and firm. Look for a toner than contains alpha hydroxy acids. These help to reduce pore size and can also be beneficial to preventing ingrown hairs. </span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;color:#cc33cc;"><strong>12. Winter Skin Care!</strong></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;">Winter skin problems such as dryness, itching, and cracking are commonly associated with the cold, dreary days of winter. Often times, this results more from loss of moisture resulting from spending the majority of our time indoors in low humidity environments than it does from the actual cold. Invest in and use a humidifier. Keeping the relative humidity in your house at or above 60% will allow your skin to replenish itself by absorbing moisture from the air. A nice way to illustrate this is to use the example of a desert and a rainforest. Think about your last trip to the desert for a moment. What do the plants have in common? They are all rough, spiny, and hard. Now think about a trip to a more humid climate. What are the characteristics of the plants? Think big, bright, soft, and colorful leaves. The difference - The amount of moisture in the air. You can choose whether your house will be a desert or a rainforest and your skin will respond appropriately. Also refrain from taking long hot showers. Hot water removes natural oils from the skin and essentially peels back your natural layer of protection. This can open you up to dryness and cracking. </span></div><p align="right"><a href="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=cwcuRo38s4w&offerid=30329.10000039&type=4&subid=0"><img alt="DERMAdoctor.com, Inc." src="http://www.dermadoctoraffiliates.com/ads/fs120x60anim.gif" border="0" /></a></p><img height="1" src="http://ad.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/show?id=cwcuRo38s4w&bids=30329.10000039&type=4&subid=0" width="1" border="0" />Oliviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02929389957529983513noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26917086.post-54409560693861583252007-09-10T23:53:00.000-07:002007-09-14T16:27:51.926-07:00Stretch Mark Therapy<a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=47146&u=168341&m=9120&urllink=&afftrack=">Remove Stretch Marks.

Use a sharp lip liner pencil in a shade close to that of your lipstick color and with a steady hand, lightly outline the lips. For the upper lip, start at the centre and work out, towards the corner of the mouth. </span><p class="noindent"><span >For the lower lip, work from side to side. </span><p class="noindent"><span ><span style="color:#ff9900;"><strong>Priming The Lips With A Lip Balancer:</strong></span> </span><p class="noindent"><span >Fill in the lips with a special base or balancer to even out the skin tones. If your lips are of an even color, use a face powder as a base. </span><p class="noindent"><span ><strong><span style="color:#ff9900;">Filling Up With Lipstick:</span></strong> </span><p class="noindent"><span >Using a lip brush, fill in the color. For the upper lip start at the centre and work outwards. On the lower lip work from side to side. Don't pile up too much color. </span><p class="noindent"><span >It is much easier to add more later than to remove any excess. </span><p class="noindent"><span ><strong><span style="color:#ff9900;">Blotting Off:</span></strong> </span><p class="noindent"><span >Fold a clean tissue and place it between your lips. Press the lips lightly together to remove the excess color and to help seal the remainder, so that it stays on the lips rather than moving onto every glass you use. </span><p class="noindent"><span ><strong><span style="color:#ff9900;">Final Lip Gloss Application:</span></strong> </span><p class="noindent"><span >Finally finish with a lip gloss to get a gleaming look. </span><p class="noindent"><span >However, women with extra-full lips should use lip gloss<br />very sparingly. </span><menu><li><h5 class="noindent"><span style="font-size:100%;">Shaping Up Your Lips</span></h5></li></menu><p class="noindent"><span >Through knowledge of what you can do to correct lip shape you can truly achieve a perfect finish to your face. </span><p class="noindent"><span >Study the shape of your lips, identify the defects, if any, and decide on what you want to achieve and then proceed. </span><p class="noindent"><span ><strong><span style="color:#ff9900;">Small Mouth With Small Lips</span></strong> </span><p class="noindent"><span >These are easily corrected by taking the lip liner pencil outside the natural lip line. Work slowly and steadily to form a perfect shape. Fill in with primer and finally with the lipstick. A highlight of frosting on the upper lip would also create an impression of fullness. </span><p class="noindent"><span ><strong><span style="color:#ff9900;">Large Mouth With Full Lips</span></strong> </span><p class="noindent"><span >Apply liquid foundation makeup to the entire mouth, then outline with a dark shade of lipstick just inside the natural contours of the mouth. </span><p class="noindent"><span >Then apply lipstick of a lighter shade carefully and accurately within this outline. Subdued shades work well for this kind of mouth. Use medium toned lip colors and avoid dark browns, plums, electric bright or pale shimmer shades. </span><p class="noindent"><span ><strong><span style="color:#ff9900;">Full Upper Lip</span></strong> </span><p class="noindent"><span >Apply fluid foundation makeup to the upper lip. Outline just inside its natural contour and apply a dark shade of lipstick. Then outline the lower lip just outside its natural contour and emphasize by filling in with a lighter shade of lipstick. </span><p class="noindent"><span ><strong><span style="color:#ff9900;">Full Lower Lip</span></strong> </span><p class="noindent"><span >Outline upper lip just outside its natural contour. Apply a light shade of lipstick and in the centre add a touch of lip gloss. Apply fluid foundation makeup to the lower lip. Outline just inside its natural contour. Then fill in with a darker shade of lipstick, using a lip brush. </span><p class="noindent"><span ><strong><span style="color:#ff9900;">Wide Mouth</span></strong> </span><p class="noindent"><span >Cover the corners of the mouth with foundation makeup or a cover stick. Apply lipstick with a lip brush, stopping a few millimeters before the corners of the mouth are reached. </span><p class="noindent"><span >So there you have it everything you need to know to create the perfect "Lip Look", which will have you beaming inside and out. </span><p class="noindent"><span >Of course, if you REALLY want to create that irresistible killer lips, see more specific tips, and get access to top secret makeup techniques, they're all included in Allison Saunders' new Video, </span><a href="http://olivexun.hazza1967.hop.clickbank.net/"><strong><span style="color:#55b3f1;">Hollywood Makeup Secrets</span></strong></a><span >. </span><p class="noindent"><a href="http://ads.AdGenta.com/ads/ads.dll/click?Client=EXNASA&GUID=The+Secret+To+Luscious+Lips+(06%2F28%2F06+15%3A56%3A39)" target="_blank"><span ><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; MARGIN: 4px; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none" height="75" alt="Ads by AdGenta.com" hspace="0" src="http://ads.adgenta.com/ads/ads.dll/view?Client=EXNASA&GUID=The+Secret+To+Luscious+Lips+(06%2F28%2F06+15%3A56%3A39)&Keywords=lip%20gloss&BANNER_STYLE=1&amp;amp;amp;WIDTH=468&HEIGHT=75&FOOTER_GRADIENT=0&TF_C=66CCFF&DMF_C=000000" width="468" align="middle" border="0" /></span></a></p><p class="noindent"><span >Technorati Tags : </span><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/lip" target="_blank" rel="tag"><span >lip</span></a><span >, </span><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/lip+makeup" target="_blank" rel="tag"><span >lip+makeup</span></a><span >, </span><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/lip+make+up" target="_blank" rel="tag"><span >lip+make+up</span></a><span >, </span><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/lipstick." target="_blank" rel="tag"><span >lipstick.</span></a><span >, </span><a href="http://technorati.com/tag/lip+gloss" target="_blank" rel="tag"><span >lip+gloss</span></a></p>Oliviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02929389957529983513noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26917086.post-1151437787746651522006-06-27T12:49:00.000-07:002006-06-27T12:55:35.656-07:00How To Apply Foundation Correctly?<p class="noindent" align="left">Applying foundation is a simple procedure, but a lot of mistakes can be made. Here is an easy way to look great. <p class="noindent" align="left">Foundation is not going to help you if it's the wrong color. <p class="noindent" align="left">Go to a cosmetic counter and request help. They will provide samples that can be matched to your specific colouring. Apply foundation by dotting it on your forehead, cheeks, chin and nose. <p class="noindent" align="left">If you don't want all over coverage, apply just in the needed areas. Dampen a sponge and gently distribute the foundation across your face. <p class="noindent" align="left">Check jaw line and hairline to make sure foundation is well blended. Use pads of fingers and press gently all over your face. The heat from your fingers will help in the blending process. <p class="noindent" align="left"><strong>Don't avoid this step</strong> <p class="noindent" align="left"><strong>Go to a natural light source and check your application!</strong> <p class="noindent" align="left">Any problem areas will stand out so that they can be attended to. <p class="noindent" align="left"><strong>Additional info</strong> <p class="noindent" align="left">If your freckles are light, don't even try to cover them up. <p class="noindent" align="left">Show them off by using a sheer foundation. If you happen to have the darker ones that you just can't live with, choose a cream foundation to cover and even out skin tones. <p class="noindent" align="left"><strong>More additional info</strong> <p class="noindent" align="left">Always apply foundation with a wet sea sponge. When wet, the sponge promises a sheer layer of coverage. <p class="noindent" align="left">Try it both ways to see which you prefer. <p class="noindent" align="left"><strong>Tips</strong> <p class="noindent" align="left">Be sure to blend blend blend! Special areas to watch are the hair and jaw line. And be sure that <em>your</em> face isn't one color and your neck another. <p class="noindent" align="left">P.S.

We are simply going to make what you have... look a whole lot better. Only you will know how many steps it took to create incredibly flirty eyes. <P class=noindent style="TEXT-INDENT: 0px">Prepare the eyelids with a base to help hold the shadow in place. Allow to set. Apply a layer of flesh colored shadow across lid. Depending on your coloring, the color could almost appear a salmon shade, but it will blend into the lids quite easily. <P class=noindent style="TEXT-INDENT: 0px">If your skin has more pink tones, use a soft pink shadow instead.

Not at the make-up counter. Not at the day spa. Not at the plastic surgeon. It awaits you… in your kitchen.</p><p align="left">Your best skin care secrets can come from your diet secrets. After all, you are what you eat. So, in the words of Italian mothers everywhere… Mangia!</p><p align="left">When it comes to eating for beauty, the rule is: the fresher, the better. Avoid processed foods whenever possible. The fresher your foods, the more nutrient packed. Keep that in mind when planning and preparing meals. Shop like the Europeans. Buy what you need for a few days, not an entire week. Cook things healthfully, eat from all food groups and vary your diet.</p><p align="left"><strong>Eat your veggies</strong>.</p><p align="left">Fresh vegetables, when available, are preferable to canned or frozen. Raw produce has a greater concentration of vitamins and minerals. Less time at the stove, that‘s attractive.</p><p align="left">All vegetables are beneficial. So, if canned is all you’ve got it’ll do. But remember to hit the market tomorrow. Green leafy vegetables are high in beta-carotene which is essential for healthy hair, eyes and skin. Sprouts prevent wrinkles and age spots. Include some on your dinner menu tonight.</p><p align="left"><strong>Fresh fruit are great for you any time of day</strong>.</p><p align="left">Sweeten up your breakfast, indulge in a fruity mid-day snack, have a healthy dessert. Cantaloupe is high in vitamins A and C, which promotes healing and controls oil on skin and scalp. Tomatoes (yes, they are a fruit) are packed with A (wrinkle and pimple fighter) and beta-carotene. Citrus fruits provide great doses of vitamin C.</p><p align="left">Again, fresh is best. What a sweetly indulgent way to take care of yourself!</p><p align="left"><strong>Proteins are building blocks</strong>.</p><p align="left">Turkey, chicken, fish, eggs, lean beef and soy all provide protein and B vitamins which support hair and nail health, and youthful skin. Prepared healthfully, they’ll satisfy your appetite and your form. Fish, like salmon and sardines, are full of protein and Omega 3 which promotes glowing skin.</p><p align="left"><strong>Drink water</strong>.</p><p align="left">Lots of water. It purifies you all the way down to your cells, and speeds the regeneration of damaged tissue. So, even if you aren’t at your best now, you soon can be.</p><p align="left"><strong>Health and happiness equal beauty</strong>.</p><p align="left">When you eat goof foods, you're nurturing your body. When you’re nurtured, you feel good. When you feel good, you smile. When you smile, you look good. So eat and enjoy your way to a healthier, happier, prettier you.</p><p align="left">By Allison Saunders</p><p align="left"><a href="http://ads.AdGenta.com/ads/ads.dll/click?Client=EXNASA&GUID=Skincare+From+Your+Fridge+(06%2F19%2F06+15%3A16%3A55)" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; MARGIN: 4px; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none" height="75" alt="Ads by AdGenta.com" src="http://ads.AdGenta.com/ads/ads.dll/view?Client=EXNASA&GUID=Skincare+From+Your+Fridge+(06%2F19%2F06+15%3A16%3A55)&Keywords=makeup&BANNER_STYLE=1&amp;WIDTH=468&HEIGHT=75&FOOTER_GRADIENT=0&TF_C=0099CC&DMF_C=FFFFFF&FF_C=FFFFFF" width="468" border="0" /></a></p><p align="left">Allison Saunders is a MAC qualified Make-up Artist and the author of an amazing new course, <a href="http://olivexun.hazza1967.hop.clickbank.net/"><span style="color:#88aab6;">Hollywood Makeup Secrets</span></a>, a simple step-by-step video system for maximizing your innerand outer beauty potential.</p><p align="left">Technorati Tags : <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/makeup" target="_blank" rel="tag">makeup</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/make+up" target="_blank" rel="tag">make+up</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/skincare" target="_blank" rel="tag">skincare</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/skin+care" target="_blank" rel="tag">skin+care</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Allison+Saunders" target="_blank" rel="tag">Allison+Saunders</a></p>Oliviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02929389957529983513noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26917086.post-1150497808585697682006-06-16T15:43:00.000-07:002006-06-16T15:59:30.876-07:00Tahitian Noni Products a Huge Hit at Tony's<div align="left"><a href="http://ads.adgenta.com/ads/ads.dll/click?client=exnasa&GUID=Tahitian+Noni+Products+a+Huge++%2806%2F16%2F06+15%3A14%3A23%29" target="_blank"></a>The 60th Annual Tony Awards were held on Sunday, and <a href="http://www.tni.com/olive">Tahitian Noni</a> products made a huge splash with attending celebrities!

Brown neck, pink face. We all know someone with no perception of how her make-up really looks on her own face. She's sweet, really sweet. But she's a joke in your circle of friends. Oh, no. It isn't you, is it?<br /><br />Well, even if you don't wear "clown makeup," chances are you're making some mistakes with your makeup. Take stock to be sure that you don't fall into any of the makeup traps below.<br /><br /><strong>Mismatched Foundation</strong><br /><br />Your foundation should not be a different color from the rest of your body. Really, it shouldn't. This is an easy problem to fix. March yourself down to the make-up counter at your favorite department store and let the salesperson do her job. It's her job, after all. Don't be intimidated, you don't need to buy the whole product line.<br /><br /><strong>Blue Eye shadow</strong><br /><br />Blue eye shadow works for some people. Little girls in dance recitals. Guests at 1970s-themed parties. Ethereal looking supermodels. If you aren't one of the aforementioned people then don't wear it. Enough said.<br /><br /><strong>Dark Circles Under Eyes/Obvious Under Eye Concealer<br /></strong><br />This is a chicken or egg problem. You're right, the circles aren't great. But neither are orange crescents<br />under your eyes. Play around with a few shades of concealer to see what really works best for you.<br /><br />Different products work differently on different people. Just because one brand works for your friend, doesn't mean it'll be flattering on you. Make sure you're getting enough sleep and talk to your doctor. Sometimes those circles are a sign of allergies or a vitamin deficiency.<br /><br /><strong>Obvious Lip liner</strong><br /><br />This is a look. It's just not a flattering one. Lip liner is intended to add dimension to thin or small lips, to lengthen the wear of your lip color and to prevent your lipstick from "bleeding" onto your face. It is not intended to create a visible outline.<br /><br /><strong>Inferior products in your dressing area<br /></strong><br />Most of us are not starlets with dressing rooms and make-up artists at our disposal. But that doesn't mean we don't deserve to look like starlets with dressing rooms and make-up artists. Invest in good lighting around your vanity. Stock it with quality make-up brushes and limit your make-up collection to products you'll actually use. That way, your budget can be used to buy better cosmetics.<br /><br /><strong>You're worth it</strong><br /><br />Add a couple of extra minutes, a wee bit more effort and a little money into your daily makeup routine. It's not vain to spend a few dollars on or a few minutes at your vanity. Put on your prettiest smile, bat your beautiful lashes and show the world that you like who you are.<br /><br />Put your best face forward... you don't have to hide behind crow's feet and lip lines...<br /><br /><div align="left"></div><div align="right">By Allison Saunders</div><div align="left"><br />Allison Saunders is a MAC qualified Make-up Artist and the author of an amazing new course, <a href="http://olivexun.hazza1967.hop.clickbank.net/">Hollywood Makeup Secrets</a>, a simple step-by-step video system for maximizing your innerand outer beauty potential.</p></div><div align="left"><a href="http://olivexun.hazza1967.hop.clickbank.net">makeup</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/makeup+mistakes" target="_blank" rel="tag">makeup+mistakes</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/foundation" target="_blank" rel="tag">foundation</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/eye+shadow" target="_blank" rel="tag">eye+shadow</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/blue+eye+shadow" target="_blank" rel="tag">blue+eye+shadow</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/uder+eyes+dircles" target="_blank" rel="tag">uder+eyes+dircles</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/dark+circles" target="_blank" rel="tag">dark+circles</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/concealer" target="_blank" rel="tag">concealer</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/eye+concealer" target="_blank" rel="tag">eye+concealer</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/lip" target="_blank" rel="tag">lip</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/lip+liner" target="_blank" rel="tag">lip+liner</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/make+up" target="_blank" rel="tag">make+up</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/makeup+artist" target="_blank" rel="tag">makeup+artist</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/cosmetics" target="_blank" rel="tag">cosmetics</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Allison+Saunders" target="_blank" rel="tag">Allison+Saunders</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/MAC" target="_blank" rel="tag">MAC</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/makeup+secrets" target="_blank" rel="tag">makeup+secrets</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/Hollywood+makeup+secrets" target="_blank" rel="tag">Hollywood+makeup+secrets</a><!-- End Technorati Tags --></div>Oliviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02929389957529983513noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26917086.post-1150145951154876132006-06-12T13:39:00.000-07:002006-06-12T13:59:11.200-07:008 Great Tips for Better Colour and Sexy NailsIn presious post I shared some Sarah Jane's (Author of <a href="http://hop.clickbank.net/?olivexun/beautytips">Get Gorgeius Now</a>) nail care tips with you, now, let's take a look at some tips on applying polish.<br /><br />Here are the top 8 tips for better color and SEXY nails...<br /><br />Tip #1: Check your polish. Old polish becomes thick and clumpy over time causing uneven application and unsightly bubbles. If your polish HAS become thick, add a few drops of polish thinner and shake well.<br /><br />Tip #2: Start with clean nails. If your nails have traces of lotion or cuticle oil on them, polish won't stick evenly and will chip more readily. Use a cotton swab dipped in alcohol or nail polish remover to clean the surface of the nail before you paint.<br /> <br />Tip #3: Begin with a base coat. A base coat is vital to any nail polish application as it smoothes out nail ridges and allows polish to go on more evenly. A base coat also protects nails from becoming stained when you wear dark polish.<br /> <br />Tip #4: Watch your brush. As you remove the brush from the bottle of polish, carefully wipe one side of the brush along the bottle's neck. This will remove any excess, bubble- producing nail color from the brush.<br /> <br />Tip #5: Apply in minimal sweeps. Always apply color from the cuticle to the tips in three swipes. One up the center of the nail and one on both sides of the nail. You may need to use more strokes, but keep in mind that fewer sweeps of color equals better results.<br /> <br />Tip #6: Clean up as you go. It's inevitable that you will wind up with some polish on the skin around your nails. Use a wooden nail stick to quickly swipe away the excess as you go.<br /> <br />Tip #7: Finish it off with a top coat. Just as important as the base color, the top coat seals the polish onto your nails and gives a high-shine finish.<br /> <br />Tip #8: Allow ample drying time. Set aside at least an hour of "hands-off" for nails to dry. Remember, even if they feel dry to the touch after time, nails can remain tacky and more prone to nicking your beautiful color job.<br /> <br />There you have it- 8 surefire tips to better nail care. Let's look at a few more techniques you can use for great nails...<br /> <br />Never apply more than two coats of polish. What a lot of women don't realize is that the nail bed is robbed of its breathing capacity when there are more than two coats.<br /> <br />Once you have polish on, never peel or scrape the nail polish off of your fingers. Also, stay away from metal instruments- for example, a tool that pushes back your cuticle- as both of these processes can scrape off the protective cells of the nail surface.<br /> <br />Another nail wrecking habit is nail biting. You should always keep your fingers out of your mouth as biting your nails can damage the nail bed which can lead to a deformed nail shape or uneven nail growth. You can also transfer harmful organisms to the nails this way.<br /> <br />After the nails are beautifully filed and protected with a top coat, apply a hand cream or lotion. Cuticles should get extra attention and moisture with a product like Vaseline Moisturizer, Moisturel, or Aquaphor. You can also apply moisturizer right before going to sleep.<br /> <br />The cuticle, protects the nail root from bacteria. Instead of cutting the cuticle, push it back gently with a rosewood stick or rubber-tipped cuticle pusher.<br /> <br />For those cuticles that are hard, dry and sticking up, slight trimming is justifiable but never remove the whole thing. Strong cuticle growth can be controlled with a cuticle softener or a cuticle remover liquid.<br /> <br />For another hand softening move, turn to Vitamin E. Take a Vitamin E capsule, break it open and massage into the hands.<br /> <br />There are plenty of things you can do for better hands and nails. It's really not difficult, it's just something that needs to be added to your weekly beauty routine.<br /> <br />If you want a complete "encyclopedia" of beauty tips and tricks that you can use to look your best, I highly recommend Sarah Jane's book <a href="http://hop.clickbank.net/?olivexun/beautytips" target="new">Get Gorgeous Now</a>.Oliviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02929389957529983513noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26917086.post-1149981714776471422006-06-10T16:09:00.000-07:002006-06-10T16:41:52.756-07:00Easy Nail Care Tips<div align="left">Well-groomed, beautiful nails are an integral part of a woman's appearance. <p></p></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">Healthy nails, in addition to being an attractive addition to the rest of your body, reflect all sorts of personal habits, both good and bad. Healthy nails are also a reflection of our general state of health. <p></p></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">Here some nail care tips that I have learned from Sarah Jane (Author of <a href="http://hop.clickbank.net/?olivexun/beautytips" target="new">Get Gorgeous Now</a>). Keeping your nails healthy and beautiful can actually be easy... <p>Never cut or clip your nails to shorten them. You should always file them down with an emery board to the size that you desire. </p></div><p></p><div align="left"></div><div align="left">In addition to filing them, be sure you are doing so on a 45 degree angle. This is the best positioning for filing your nails. Also, never file feed into the corners of your fingers. You should always file from corner to center. <p></p></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">The best time of the day to file your nails, or give yourself a manicure, is after doing the dishes or after getting out of a bath or shower. Nails are much softer then and these activities will remove dirt from underneath the nail. <p></p><div align="left"></div>You should apply a top coat to your nails, almost daily, to help protect and strengthen the tips. Try to avoid using nail polish remover- especially those containing the harsh ingredient acetone. Most nail polish removers dry the nails and nail bed out.</div>Oliviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02929389957529983513noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26917086.post-1149749106798662012006-06-07T23:34:00.000-07:002006-06-07T23:48:04.703-07:00The 3 Stages of Men's Married LifeI know this is totally off topic, but it's so funny, I just like to share it with you all!<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#ff99ff;">The 3 Stages of Men's Married Life</span></strong><br /><br />Stage 1 - Before Marriage<br /><br /><p><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6689/791/320/1_beforemarriage1.jpg" border="0" />Stage 2 - After Marriage</p><p><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6689/791/320/2_aftermarriage2.jpg" border="0" />Stage 3 - After The Divorce</p><p><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6689/791/320/3_afterthedivorce3.0.jpg" border="0" /></p>Oliviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02929389957529983513noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26917086.post-1149553897100806192006-06-05T16:51:00.000-07:002006-06-05T17:34:48.170-07:00Smart Olive Update<span style="color:#000066;">Welcome back to Smart Olive!</span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">As you can see the layout has been changed.

It is an unfortunate fact of life that some of the lowest priced foods, from fast food value menus to cheap potato chips, are also some of the least healthy. It is possible, however, to create excellent tasting, nutritious meals, even on a tight budget.<br /><br />The key to planning and creating healthy meals on a limited budget is good forward planning and solid nutritional knowledge.<br /><br /><span style="color:#009900;">Step 1 - The shopping list <p></p></span></span></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;color:#663366;">Anyone who has visited a supermarket lately knows how dangerous it is to enter the store without a shopping list in hand. Shopping without a sense of what you need and don't need opens you up to all manner of temptation, and most of those tempting foods are not nutritious.<br /><br />In addition, picking up all those extra items can easily blow your food budget and leave you without the funds to plan those healthy, nutritious meals. A good trick is to keep a note pad near the table or refrigerator. Having the notepad within easy reach makes it easy to keep track of the foods you need to stock up on.<br /><br /><span style="color:#009900;">Step 2 - Watch those flyers <p></p></span></span></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;color:#663366;">Most major food store chains publish weekly sales ads, usually as inserts in the local newspaper. Keeping track of these sales, and taking advantage of the low prices to stock up, is a great way to gather a cupboard full of healthy food. Once the pantry is full of fruits, vegetables and other healthy fare, it will be much easier to create healthy recipes the entire family will love. In addition, locally grown, in season fruits and vegetables are usually more of a bargain than out of season or shipped fruits and vegetables.<br /><br /><span style="color:#009900;">Step 3 - Stock up on staples <p></p></span></span></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;color:#663366;">Essential staple foods, such as flour, rice, and pasta are frequently put on sale as loss leaders at major groceries. Stocking up on these essentials when prices are low is a great way to stretch any food budget.<br /><br /><span style="color:#009900;">Step 4 - Never shop when you are hungry <p></p></span></span></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;color:#663366;">The old advice to never shop when you are hungry is definitely true. Shopping when you are hungry is a sure way to give into temptation, bust the food budget, and stock up on all the wrong foods.<br /><br /><span style="color:#009900;">Step 5 - Become a label guru <p></p></span></span></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;color:#663366;">Nutritional labels contain a wealth of information, but it is up to each shopper to read those labels and understand what they mean. Nutritional labels contain complete information on not just calories and fats, but the amounts of various essential vitamins and minerals as well. It is important to know how to read labels in order to get the best nutritional bang for your food bucks.<br /><br /><span style="color:#009900;">Step 6 - Pay close attention to package sizes <p></p></span></span></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;color:#663366;">Just because two cans look alike it does not mean they are. Packaging can be deceptive, so get in the habit of comparing weights when shopping for canned fruits, vegetables and other items. Also take advantage of the lower prices available on store brand and generic products.<br /><br /><span style="color:#009900;">Step 7 - Use coupons, but do it wisely <p></p></span></span></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;color:#663366;">Manufacturers coupons can be a great deal when used on products you already buy. Buying something simply because you have a coupon, however, is typically not a good idea.<br /><br /><span style="color:#009900;">Step 8 - Replace meat with beans and other less costly substitutes <p></p></span></span></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;color:#663366;">Eating less meat and more beans and lentils is a good way to save money on your food budget while still getting the protein you and your family need. Try experimenting with some vegetarian recipes for interesting ways to use these non meat alternatives.<br /><br />In addition to the tips listed above, there are several ways that smart shoppers keep their food budgets at a minimum while preparing delicious, nutritious meals for their family every day.<br /><br />One trick is to keep the refrigerator and the pantry well stocked with staple foods. Keeping a good supply of staples on hand will avoid unnecessary trips to the store and also avoid the need to buy such products when they are not on sale. When staples such as bread, flour, peanut butter, canned vegetables, etc. are on sale, be sure to stock up. <p></p></span></div>Oliviahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02929389957529983513noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26917086.post-1149154721502814442006-06-01T02:15:00.000-07:002006-06-01T02:42:41.006-07:00My Little Weather Lady<div align="left"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="color:#999999;">Check this out everyone!
