Health and Beauty Tip -- Treatment for Tired Eyes

To rejuvenate tired eyes, lay a slice of cold cucumber over each eye -- it really works! The reason is simple, though: anything cool over your eyes helps reduce redness, and makes them feel better, too. If you're looking for something easier, use a cool, damp washcloth instead.

THREE BEAUTY TIPS SINCE I WAS AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER FOR DAYS!!

Beauty Tip -- Taking Care of Bras
Storing your bras incorrectly may cause the underwires to poke out after just a few wearings. To keep them from getting twisted, store your bras on a hook in your closet, rather than in a dresser drawer.


Beauty Tip -- Selecting Hosiery
Make your legs look longer and slimmer by matching your hose as closely as possibly to your skirt and shoes. For two-toned shoes, wear a neutral color, or try to match the lightest color in the shoes -- never wear hose darker than this!

Beauty Tip -- Dress Monochrome
If you want to look taller and slimmer, try wearing one color from head to toe. Not only does it work on everybody, but it's also trendy among fashion designs

HEALTH AND BEAUTY TIP - TROUBLE WITH BRITTLE NAILS

Health and Beauty Tip -- Trouble with Brittle Nails
If your nails are brittle, you may not be getting enough calcium. Make sure you get plenty in your diet, both in the food you eat, as well as vitamins if necessary. Also, check the labels on your scented or perfumed hand lotions -- these tend to contain alcohol, and can make brittle nails worse.

BEAUTY TIP - AVOID STATIC CLING

To fight off static cling, keep a dryer sheet in your purse and rub it on the underside of your skirt or pantyhose.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY TIP - EATING OUT ON A DIET

You can still control what you eat when you go out to dinner. Drink a glass of skim milk before you leave home to curb your appetite a bit, and have a healthy meal in mind before you get there -- knowing what you want will ensure that you avoid looking at the menu and being tempted. Ask for oil and vinegar or the house vinaigrette on your salad (and use sparingly), and remember -- sharing a dessert doesn't count as skipping!

HEALTH AND BEAUTY TIP - WAYS TO GAUGE WEIGHT LOSS

Don't obsess over weight -- pick something such as waist measurement or dress size to chart your progress. A great way to do this is to pick two outfits: one that fits perfectly at the start of your diet, and one that's too tight. Try them both on every four weeks to get a real feel for how you're doing.

BEAUTY TIP - CREAM FOUNDATIONS

For a healthy glow, use gel or cream blushes instead of powder in a rosy pink. These are more transparent and blend smoothly. Apply it to the apples of your cheeks and blend up towards the eyes for a natural look.
