Manicured Eyebrows
Relief for the Brow-Beaten
Put down that tweezers! Before you take another pluck, first take a good look in the mirror at what could easily become your defining feature.
The Perfect Brow
Simply put, the brow should begin on the same point as your nostril and extend just beyond each corner of your eye. Have you overplucked? Hide the tweezers for three weeks before attempting a repair.
To maintain healthy, expressive brows:
1. Cleanse and moisturize the brow area to ease the brittleness of brow hairs and train them into a smoother, more flattering shape.
2. Treat your brows to a conditioner in the shower. Your hair conditioner, in fact, will work just fine.
3. Use a brow pencil to mark the shape you want to achieve. Tweeze just around this guideline to prevent over-tweezing.
4. Tweeze one hair at a time. Grab the hair as close to the skin as possible, squeeze the tweezers to get a good grip, then pull it out quickly in the direction it grows.
5. Swipe tweezed brows with a cotton bud dipped in pure tea tree oil - nature's perfect antiseptic.
6. Use a spooly brush in the natural direction of the brow hair to give the brows a natural look.
7. Apply brow gel to condition and shape brows all day.
Tip:
When using powdered brow color, use a harder, bristled-angle brow brush and draw tiny hair-like strokes. When using a brow pencil, maintain a sharp edge and use the same technique as the brush.

How to Dress for Your Shape
So you bought that great dress you saw in a fashion magazine. It looked really nice on the model, but there is something just not
right about the way it fits you. What is wrong?
What went wrong was that you didn’t think about your shape. Your body shape can turn a ho-hum dress into a wow! Unfortunately it
can also change the trendiest of dresses into a fashion don’t. You need to calculate your shape and then shop with your shape in
mind.
No, this isn’t taking the fun out of shopping. It is putting the fun back in. Think of all the complements that will start pouring in when
your clothes fit well. Think of all the money you will save by actually wearing the clothes in your closet.
Now to calculate your shape you need either a full length mirror or a really good friend with a digital camera. Wearing a swimsuit,
tights, a catsuit or biker shorts and a tank top with a hint of spandex (anything that will show you the shape of your body,) stand in
front of the full length mirror or let your friend take a full length photo.
There are six body shapes available:
Round
Inverted Triangle
Hourglass
Pear
Diamond
Straight
Now take a good look. Is your shape Round? A woman who has a round shape has a generous bust line with a fuller back and rib cage.
She has a waist line that is generous, narrow hips and lovely, slender legs.
So what should this shape wear? V-neck tops are a great way to elongate and slenderize the neckline. You want to stay away from
fitted tops. Fitted tops will only draw attention to your waistline and fuller bust. Free flowing tunics are the ticket. If you wear
jackets, narrow collars and single button styles are best for not drawing attention to your fuller bust and waistline.
Show off your great legs. Leggings are best with a great tunic look. Lucky you can wear a slim skirt to show off your hips and legs.
The carwash hem, with a few buttons discretely opened is also a nice flirty, casual look.
Are you an Inverted Triangle? Do you have broad shoulders, a medium bust line, average waist and narrow hips with lovely, shapely
legs?
This body type wants to balance out those broad shoulders and enhance those great hips and lovely legs. Balance out your upper
and lower torso by wearing lighter colors on the bottom half. Try a flared skirt or those trendy, wide leg pants. V-necklines will
elongate your upper torso and lead the viewer’s eyes down away from your shoulders. A wide belt worn over a big shirt low on the
hips is also a good bet.
Is your figure the classic Hourglass? This figure has a bust, small well-defined waist, curvy hips and shapely legs and sometimes a
protruding bottom.
You have an easy shape to dress. Celebrate it with soft fabrics, wrap dresses, and belts that lay at your waistline. A small waist helps
the taller woman look more balanced. If you are shorter de-emphasize your waist a little so you won’t look cut in half. Stay away from
oversized or too fitted styles, stick with semi-fitted clothing. An hourglass is every woman’s dream figure, do your best to wear
clothing that emphases your curves.
The woman with a Pear shaped body has a slender neck, narrow shoulders, a small bust, a shapely waist and generous hips and
thighs. You have a small, feminine waistline embrace it. Choose flowing fabrics, wide leg pants are best to de-emphasize your hips and
thighs. Straight skirts can be your friend. You want to pull attention toward your upper body. Cowl neck tops and boat neck or
square necklines can help give you the illusion of broader shoulders.
The Diamond and Pear shaped women are similar. The Diamond has narrow shoulders, a small bust with generous hips and thighs. The
Diamond is curvier than the pear and is narrower on top with a fuller bottom. Stay away from cuffed pants or pants with detail along
the hem. Cuffs and detail can draw the eye making you look larger on the bottom and shorter. Tapered legs are a good bet. Jackets
and tops should not pull across your hips or bottom they should flare gently over those trouble spots.
The woman with a straight body type has an upper and lower torso equal in width. Her bust is average, with a large rib cage,
undefined waist line, a flat bottom and slender legs.
The trick for this body type is to create waist definition with vertical lines that curve at the waist. Princess seams are great for you.
The empire waist line is your friend, as well as the dropped waist. You don’t need gathers or pleats at your waist. Knit pants work
well with your flat bottom.
As you can see different women come in different shapes. A woman needs to dress for her shape. Dressing for you shape will take
the confusion out of shopping and put the fun back in. Enjoy.

Broken Blood Vessels on Your Face?
Before bed wash your face and moisturize, then take a green grape, cut it in half and massage the open ended juice
onto the problem area. Repeat this several times in 2 weeks and see the difference!!

Combating a Shiny Face
Combating a shiny, glowing face isn't always easy during a night out at the club especially if you left your purse with
shine blotting paper and powder in the car. When you get a chance to escape to the bathroom, grab a toilet seat
cover and use it to blot the oil from your face. It's sanitary and made of the same basic material most shine bloters use
and it'll do the trick until you can get back to your purse.
