My Favorite Beauty Tips!

Of my many favorite ways to get beautiful, here are 10!
  1. Apply a clear coat of polish before using a heavy color such as red to reduce staining.
  2. ALWAYS wash your makeup off before bed.
  3. Try using a henna hair dye, they are the safest and natural way to color your hair.
  4. Wash your pillow cases once a week to get rid of all the dirt and oils that could pile onto your skin and cause pimples.
  5. Add a little baking soda to your toothbrush to get a whiter brighter smile.
  6. Don't burst your pimples! Wash them and use a spot treatment, then cover them with makeup until they go away. Popping them will only make it worse!
  7. Deep condition your hair once a week for a healthier and shinier mane!
  8. Wash your hair brushes once a week to get rid of the dirt and bacteria that forms on them.
  9. Wash your makeup brushes twice a month.
  10. To get soft and smooth lips, gently rub lips for a minute with a damp cloth before applying lipstick.

Words of Inspiration From Behind the Chair!


Last week at my internship I was looking through an old hair magazine called BehindtheChair.com on Paper, which started out as a website but launched a mag last year. In the very front of the magazine was a message from the founder, editorial and creative director, Mary Rector-Gable and it really inspired me! For anyone who has ever been told that you can't do it, whatever 'IT' is, this message is for you!

I've been called a rebel more than a few times in my life. I've been called a dreamer and a meddler. I've been told to be a good girl, to sit still and wait my turn. I've been told to stop rocking the boat and go with the flow.

But I don't listen. I am a dreamer and this is my dream.

Believe in yourself. Have the courage to open the door that nobody said could be opened. Your dream is behind it.

Mary


How powerful! I LOVE it!

Every house should be a warm haven, a place where we throw off the cares of the world and relax with family and friends. From the kitchen where we launch our busy days to the bedrooms where we close our eyes at night and dream, we want each space to reflect our personal tastes and sensibilities. But we desire that our rooms be comfortable and practical. Pulling all the components together is a tall order, and yet it's also wonderfully rewarding. Use the home decorating tips we've provided here as inspiration, and create the kinds of rooms your loved ones will want to hurry home to enjoy.

Relax Your Aching Muscles with Body Aches Bath Salts!


Being a hard working full time student and part time worker, my little ole body gets worn out sometimes! My feet, back, and legs kill me sometimes. There's no possible way for me to slow down my schedule, so I decided to get a product that would soothe away my aches. One of my favorite body care brands, Carol's Daughter, offers the perfect product for tired muscles. The Body Aches Bath Salts is a mix of 'sea salts infused with the aromatherapy benefits of Peppermint, Lavender, and Tea Tree essential oils.' Sprinkle the salts into a warm bath or on the bathtub floor while taking a hot shower for a relaxing steam!

I Die for This Dress!


Actress turned model, Amber Valleta, dawned this boxy, bright orange RM by Roland Mouret dress at the Spy Next Door movie premiere earlier this week! I LOVE it! If only I could pull something like this off...*sigh*!
