Last year, we’ve seen a lot of long bobs, shaved heads, and ombre hair. The trend seems to lean more towards personalization, with more people not afraid to show their individuality through hair cut and hair color. Is it safe to say that 2014 will feature more bold hair trends? Read on to find which 2014 hair trend will be in or out for next year!
Women from the past, used to apply homemade remedies to get glowing skin no matter the time of year. A simple mixture of olive oil and lime juice used to do the trick. After the exposure to the sun, women from ancient times would bathe in milk to have a soft skin. These beauty rituals were a bit messy and time-consuming however. Queen Cleopatra who ruled over Kemet, Ancient Egypt was famous for bathing in asses’ milk! Nowadays, women have the option to pamper themselves without such a fuss!
She poops at parties 🙂 If you’ve seen that video, which went viral some time ago, you know what I’m referring to. This situation can be true.
Let’s face it, it’s tricky to look good in a bikini. Many women don’t have these great and perfectly trimmed bodies that our celebrities flaunt in our faces every day.
Sometimes, we are lead to think that celebrities are born this way. It is far from being true. They are not as perfect as they want us to think they are. They just have better access to resources than most of us including using several little tricks that are unknown to the masses.
Looking younger and healthy is very important for many women in the Western world. While we’re waiting for someone to find out the Fountain of Youth, here are some easy tips to slow down the aging process.
One of the best tip to slow down the aging process is very simple. You must adopt a balanced lifestyle. If you are committed to change your eating habits, the results will be visible in no time.
Cut back your sugar intake significantly. A little sugar here and there isn’t the end of the world but opt for natural sugar (like the kind in dehydrated pineapple for example) or use Agave to sweeten your baked goods. If it is not the case, you know what you have to do. Stay away from highly-processed food. These products are depleted of the nutriments your body craves. When you consume highly-processed food on a daily basis, you poison your body slowly, but surely.
If you want to find the nutriments your body needs, eat fresh food. Buy fruits and vegetables galore. Eat them raw, you will see the difference. When you have cravings, go for nuts and seeds. Forget about the candy bars. Get more greens in your diet, and you’ll start to look (and feel) younger!
I know you’ve heard it a million times but we can’t stress this enough: you need to drink lots of water to stay healthy! Many people go through the day completely dehydrated. We don’t drink enough, it is a fact.
Dehydration can cause headaches, memory loss, and it is bad for your skin. Don’t forget to hydrate. Drinking a lot of water can make a huge difference on the overall appearance of your skin. If you think water is boring then add some lemons, cucumbers, berries, whatever you want to add in some natural flavoring. You can even mix your fresh fruit/veggie/herb ingredients to create your own concoction! Think cucumber/mint/lemon or lemon/strawberry/chocolate mint….whatever you like is great ~ Just drink enough water and your skin will thank you
Celebrities have many secrets they don’t want to share with us, including the instant face lift band. This is the best way to shed ten years off your face without any surgery! It’s SIMPLE and so easy to use, discreet and takes less than 2 minutes to put in.
The Facelift Band© is an adjustable, clear band that attaches with a special clip to a small section of hair above the ear on both sides of the head. The band is camouflaged beneath the hair and then adjusted to create the perfect tension to gently lift the loose and sagging skin around the upper face and eye area for a younger, fresher looking appearance.
Here you are, look years younger without any surgery, needles, Botox or fillers!
Smoking is a nasty habit. There I said it. People I know and love smoke and I hate it! I wish for their sake and for those around them that they would just stop already. I get it, I know habits can be difficult to break. (I bite my nails and have been trying to quit for years, but it isn’t going to potentially kill me!)
When you smoke, you seriously damage your skin as well as create all sorts of problems for your body that we won’t lecture you on here. What is the point of pampering yourself with beauty treatments, healthy food, and water all day if you destroy all your efforts with that distasteful habit? Try the gum, try the patch, try using your former cigarette money to buy something awesome for yourself as a reward for quitting, do some research on actually how bad smoking is for your health and see what makes it REAL for you ~ whatever you do, I believe in you and know that you can quit!
That’s the first thing you learn when you start your make-up routine as a teenager. You’ve seen all of the Neutrogena commercials where the girl is effortlessly (and glamorously I might add) washing her face by splashing water all over herself and seemingly not getting water all over her bathroom. I can tell you from experience they should have in little parentheses at the bottom of the screen (Please do not try this technique at home, your bathroom will get soaking wet and your mother WILL make you clean it up).
Either way when you try to wash your face in the sink it can be a little messy. Luckily as an adult I’ve found these handy arm bands and headband/hair holder set that help keep things tidy.
First off, buy a good quality foundation. It will make a real difference. Then, thoroughly take it off at night. If you constantly go to bed with full make up on, you are going to have breakouts and pimples because your skin will be congested. You are going to develop puffiness around your eyes and eventually wrinkles. Many skin problems are due to a poor, inconsistent skin care routine.
Whenever you want to remove your make up, try to use a facial cleanser. First, you get rid of the make-up; and then, you clean up your skin. Wash off gently. To keep your pores clean, you should also exfoliate. Once again,be gentle with your skin! Don’t scrub it as if it was a carpet because you will damage the collagen and create more wrinkles and sagging over time.
It’s no secret that ladies love form-fitting clothing, but they do not love camel toe. Whether it’s swimwear or just a sexy pair of tight pants, the more that we can show of what we’ve got, the better off we are. Unfortunately, our entire body doesn’t agree with us. Camel Toe, you know that annoying frontal wedgie that seems to pop up at the most unwanted times, isn’t just a problem for a few of us, it’s a problem for almost all of us. So if you’ve been suffering from camel toe, whether it’s a mild case or a consistent problem, we’ve got a great idea on how to avoid camel toe. [continue reading…]
