One of the leading fashion brands, MANGO, announced Scarlett Johansson as the new face for their Autumn-Winter 09 campaigns. The event officially occurred on 13th of July in the Hotel AC Santo Mauro in Madrid, Spain. The gorgeous actress fits in perfect for the image of an extraordinary personality, embodying the ideal of the urban daring woman that Mango targets. Johansson is 'invariably delighted' to be part of it, confirmed media sources. Presenting the perfect persona of stylish talented and sensual women, Scarlett is well known for her versatility in the works she has done. "Scarlett is an extraordinary personality, fun, young. She's Mango's ideal urban woman, independent and cosmopolitan" quoted the brand's spokesperson in Spain.
Scarlett, 24, is taking over from Penelope Cruz, who had a four-season run with the Barcelona-based clothing company. Fittingly enough, both actresses starred in Woody Allen's flick Vicky Christina Barcelona! Scarlett posed in new Mango designs during the photo shoot by the renowned photographer Mario Sorrenti at Los Angeles. The shoot happened under the style guidance of Damian Sanchez, Mango's Creative Director and Board Member with Hair and make-up by Bob Recine and Aaron de Mey. This season, Mango's new collection would be influenced by the wild 80's. Little bold look with emphasized shoulders in suits, jackets and outerwear. Keeping the silhouettes narrow at the bottom half, skin-fit trousers, leggings and pencil skirts are the key styles presented by Mango for the coming season.
Artificial leathers and woolen fabrics embellished with rhinestones and zips, sequins, sparkling studs add to the glam factor while providing warmth as well. Animal prints provide movement in the designs. Black and grey are the key colours in the palette, with a tinge of cobalt blue and maroon making the collection one of the best examples of functional luxury with sensual designs. She is one name that has run synonymous with fitness for over two decades now. Recently, Mumbai saw ace fitness guru Leena Mogre jolt people back to reality.
well at least figuratively speaking! At Leena Mogre's Fitness, the eponymous gym, she conducted a session for Bone Density Test which saw models Candice Pinto, Diandra Soares and television actors Makrand Deshpande, Prachi Desai and the likes volunteer. "We have a member who is an orthopedic surgeon", says Leena, "his name is Dr. Rakesh Nair. He is the one who organised this seminar." She goes on to explain that it is a painless, two min procedure carried out by a specialist who knows how to operate a bone density meter. "Bones form your endoskeleton and lay the foundation to your body, but we tend to take them for granted. A nutritious and healthy living is extremely crucial to maintain high bone density levels."

Beauty Tips - Detangling The Hair Styling Product Confusion
Debrah Dragon asked:
Back in the day you didn't have much of a choice when it came to hair styles, sure they were many types of hair styles back then but if you had for instance straight hair you could only do so much, and get a hair style that suited straight hair. However today you have almost endless possibilities, if you have straight hair you can change it to wavy or curly hair and get a curly hairstyle. This means that you can change the way your hair looks any number of times. With the styling products available on the market today you are spoilt for choice, however selecting the right product is imperative. Sifting through the nearly hundreds of products can be a task. This guide should help you sort through the various commercial product categories.
Which hair styling products do you use? You have your choice of probably hundreds of different kinds of products, not to mention brands. It can be a mass of confusion just trying to figure out which styling products you should be using for your hair. When you go to the store, no matter what kind of store it is, you will notice that hair care products are endless, or so it seems.
Can you remember when hair spray was just hair spray? It seemed you had your choice of two strengths of hold. Now, you have your choice of different types of hair sprays, mousse, and gels. You have products that will make your hair literally stand on end! You also have your choice of products that will take the frizz right of your hair. Then, on the opposite end of the spectrum, if you have straight hair but want it curly, why not choose a curl booster gel or spray? Or go the other way and straighten that curly hair?
There are so many more options of hair styles with the hair styling products and hair accessories available to us. Well, to really get down to the "root" of the styling product chaos, you have to ask yourself a few questions, you have to find out what your real goal is with your styling products.
So, ask yourself some questions.
What kind of hold do I want? Do I want a light spray, that is non-sticky, minimal hold or do I need a super hold that will not budge even if the wind is blowing 50 miles per hour outside or you go down the highway in a convertible? If it is the latter, good luck!
Will you use many products to achieve your styling goal or do you just want one? You should think to yourself, am I trying to straighten my hair? Am I trying to make it curly? Do I want the product to protect my hair from the weather elements? Do I need it to work well with my hair coloring? What formula do I need? Do I need a gel? Do I need a spray? Do I need something solid?
If you thought you were done, think again, we are just hitting the top of iceberg in styling products. You can choose a variety of products for different types of hair achievements. For example, use a spray, gel, or mousse, if you are trying to add body or volume. If you want to create texture within your hair or make the current texture prominent, you will want to use pomade, balm, wax, or creams.
Regardless of how you want to style your hair, you no longer have to accept your hair for what it is. Using hair accessories and styling products, you can pretty much achieve any look you are going for!

Beauty Tips - Bath Salts, Oil And Bubbles
Debrah Dragon asked:
Whether you have just gotten through a long week, a stressful day, or a dirty job, or just need a moment to relax, restore and collect yourself, there is nothing like a good warm bath to set you right. Add some bath salts, bath oils, or bubbles to that bath, and you have a recipe for relaxation that beats any trip to the spa.
Bath salts can help you relax those sore muscles and get you ready for the rest of the day. So this means you can come home after a hard day's work, take a shower and use our bath salts or oil and bubbles in the tub and get ready for the evening ahead of you. You are refreshed, and ready to hit the streets, or go for a romantic date. Everybody will want to know your secret to freshness and energy because you will never feel tired again.
You've seen these products while shopping online, at your local department store, at natural healing and bath and body shops'. Beautiful translucent beads, oils in rich colors and bath foams in playful scents. They look nice, but what benefits do they really give you?
As it turns out, a lot of them. Bath salts have been used for centuries to help sooth tired muscles and dry skin, while easing the mind with their pleasant scents. Bath salts help reduce the effects of pruning and wrinkling skin that often accompany a long bath, and help guard your skin against dryness.
Phosphate bath salts help soften calloused skin, allowing for easy exfoliation and restoration of young, fresh skin. To enjoy the rejuvenating effects of bath salts, simply add several tablespoons to your warm bathwater, soak, relax, and enjoy.
Bath oils, too, have great benefits for their users. Bath oils come in many different scents, depending upon the essential oils that they are made from, many with unique benefits. Rosemary and eucalyptus are said to help with aching muscles, while rosewood and sandalwood enrich and revitalize your skin. But all of these oils, whether in bath bead or simple oil form, provide the singular benefit of aromatherapy, helping you clear your mind, uplifting your spirits and soothing your senses. To use bath oils, select the essential oil of your preference, pour a capful into running water, stir well, and sit back and let the oil work its magic.
And anyone who has ever had a bubble bath needs no convincing of their benefits. Not only do you enjoy a relaxing, cleansing soak, but you can enjoy it for longer, since the layer of bubble helps to insulate your bath, helping to make the heat stay in the bath longer, so you can, too. And there's nothing like a good bubble bath to make you feel luxurious and pampered.
Just add a few capfuls of bath foam to your bathwater as it fills, and your bath will be popping in no time. With all of these options available, why take a bath any other way?
Bubble baths have proven to be successful, everyone who is spectacle just needs to give these bubble baths a shot and it will change their lives forever. So sit back and soak in the energy as you relax and read a magazine or listen to music, because you have a long evening ahead of you!

How to Attract Beautiful Women - Its Simple Magic
Kingsley Modozie asked:
In need of tips to attract beautiful women? Want to attract a woman to call your own? Want to attract beautiful women because you are looking for a wife? Making a physical contact is extremely an essential aspect of seduction. You won't succeed in getting beautiful women with no foundation of a fundamental stage of tactual sensation. In order to reach the stage of kissing or sleeping with her, you need to maintain a steady, adequate quantity of touch which functions in both directions; she places her hand on your knee in a flirty manner, while you enclose her waistline using your arm and draw her a bit nearer.
This is the one of the best tips you can use to attract beautiful women and get hold of the physical touch. Whatsoever method of touch contact it takes, you need to perform it in order to attain your finish target of the real seduction. This is the point where most men slack. What are the best and easy ways a guy can make things work out when it approaches physical tactility nearness? Assuming the lady is not showing any tactile, what can you do to form a shared physical nearness that won't send her away or frighten her off?
Frequently, men reach for it and as a result end up making the lady experience uncomfortable or even assault them due to their hurried effort to attain physical contact. Some guys chose not to endanger making the woman walk away, thereby they chose to resist any form of bodily contact or even touch - behaving this way normally deliver the wrong signal to the girl, which is that the man doesn't want the woman or too shy to express it, none of these are fascinating situations inside the head of a sexy-looking and fun-wanting lady. Now, I will tell you the tip to this cumbersome problem and the best and easy ways to attract women.
This is easy, all you should do is to go through an essential procedures, every one of them complies to the individual limits of most beautiful women, meaning you won't look uncalled-for or hurried, but you will show an impression that you are the bold kind of guy who isn't scared of wanting to identify with girls and expressing them through a friendly, calmed physical contact. Now, let's see the tips and ways I claim to have.
Tip 1: Majority of men feel that touching a lady in whichever means doing the first time they meet her is totally a no-no technique. In short, it isn't the fact. To establish a positive and tough initial notion you need to form an instant connection to a lady at the time you present yourself or start talking with her, touching her in a nonchalant and gentle manner slightly at her right arm and at the same time orally conveying your flows. The exterior of a lady's arm isn't intimate enough for a place to make the contact sense strange or even inappropriate. Consecutively, it is a straightforward signal to show you are friendly and the social type of a man. Do not be scared to attempt it - you will see the payback instantly.
Tip 2: When you have began talking with the woman of your target you will arbitrarily see yourself talking to a lady you actually admire, it is necessary to maintain the physical contact. Acting this way aids to keep up the connection and bond you have formed and as well aids in making it a jointly felt sexual magnetism. This can be tackled with what I call "stealth tactility. It entails establishing physical contact with the lady in a cloaked manner. For instance, assuming she needs to visit the bar or bathroom but she isn't familiar with the direction, utilize stealth tactility by stationing one of your hand on the lady's shoulder, pulling her a bit nearer, turning your body and hers round till you appear in the right way, then make the way past other people or hindrance using your next hand to the place she wants to visit. This is one of the best and easy ways to attract women and give them the impression that your mind is in them.
Tip 3: Finally, make you sure you apply "contact close" as you conclude your discussion with the woman. For instance, when you want to exchange number with her or arrange for both of you to see some other time, let her get a kiss on her cheek or both a kiss and a hug. Some guys feel that they must have done the work. But I tell you, creating a physical contact prior to discharging a woman is normally a big way of making sure she keeps you in mind and actually cannot wait till she sees you some other.

Guide to Boutique Hotels in Suffolk
Suffolk Guides asked:
There are a great many Boutique Hotels in Suffolk to choose from, but what exactly is a 'Boutique Hotel'? Many people are uncertain of the features associated with the term - not least because the unique and distinct nature of such hotels is a main part of the definition. In simple terms, a boutique hotel will be unusual in some way - whether that be the building's original structure and use (e.g. boutique hotels are sometimes converted barns, Grade Listed houses, or water mills, to name but a few examples), its interior decor and design, or its intimate-yet-stylish, bespoke bedrooms - it is likely to have that certain something that differentiates it from other, more traditional accommodation.
Boutique hotels offer the height of luxury and comfort to their guests, complimented by their individual character and charm. You can expect boutique hotels to have fewer rooms than a regular hotel - although this is by no means absolute - and many are independently owned, thus having more of a personal touch than hotels affiliated with a chain. Boutique hotels tend to be at the higher end of the cost ladder, but there are always exceptions to every rule.
Outlined below are some of the wonderful and fascinating boutique hotels that Suffolk has to offer.
The Gatehouse, on the outskirts of Ipswich, is truly a hidden delight. Resting in 3 acres of mature grounds, this small-yet-elegant, 13-roomed boutique hotel is designed in the Regency style and promises visitors a relaxing stay. The food served here is locally sourced and expertly prepared, and comes complete with a wonderful wine list to compliment your meal. The peaceful location on the edge of the town, alongside the beautiful gardens, provides the perfect setting for a romantic dinner or weekend away.
No article on Boutique Hotels in Suffolk would be complete without a mention of Sutherland House Hotel & Restuarant in Southwold. This fascinating building is rich in history and fully restored to offer a resplendent venue for drinks, meals, functions and, of course, wonderful rooms. Here you will find such delights as wood burning stoves and beautifully designed rooms with rich fabrics. Sutherland House Restaurant offers fine dining at its best. Guests are welcome to drop in for a glass of wine and a plate of tapas in front of the fire; a gourmet sandwich; a home-made Red Poll beef burger, or a British classic dish - or to come for a three course meal. The restaurant has just been awarded 2 AA Rosettes and 5 Yellow stars by the AA for 2009, making that three years in a row!
The Westleton Crown, set on the Suffolk Heritage Coast between Southwold and Aldeburgh, is a traditional coaching inn dating back to the 12th Century. This lovely, distinct boutique hotel retains the rustic charm and character of its heritage, but with the added sophistication and comforts that the modern day guest has come accustomed to. The bar has a 'local pub' feel and offers a large selection of ales and wines, and the sophisticated AA 2 rosette, home-cooked menu may be sampled in the elegant dining room, cosy parlour, stylish conservatory, or outside on the charming terraced gardens - weather permitting! Visitors do not need to be guests at the hotel in order to dine there. Other highlights include log fires, 25 stylish and comfortable rooms (including family rooms), and nearby attractions such as Dunwich Heath and RSPB Minsmere.
The Crown Inn, in Stoke by Nayland, is a privately owned village inn that is sure to make you feel welcome. The Inn has eleven graceful rooms overlooking open Suffolk countryside. All rooms are individually decorated, with the ground floor rooms being designed in the contemporary style, and the upstairs in a country home style. All are comfortably furnished, with handcrafted beds and Henderson Russell Furniture. Three rooms have French windows opening onto their own terrace, and one room has disabled facilities with a level wet room. All rooms come with breakfast included.
Tuddenham Mill is in an idyllic 12 acre rural setting near Newmarket and Cambridge. This traditional watermill has been refurbished sympathetically to offer its guests a luxurious stay coupled with a uniquely unforgettable experience. The Mill's fifteen rooms are the height of style with Italian designed, over-sized beds to ensure maximum comfort, complete with all modern requirements and facilities - including Bose sound systems and Loewe flat screen TVs. When dining, the menu features an exciting selection that reflects the chic yet rustic surroundings. Choose to eat in the bar with the water wheel, outside by the pond or upstairs where you will find the much sought-after window tables with views back up the Mill Stream. The hotel also has meeting and conference rooms for small parties, and a number of options available for intimate wedding celebrations of up to 60 guests, including a license for civil ceremonies.
Satis House Hotel & Restaurant (pictured above and below) in Yoxford is a fine 18th Century Grade II listed country house, set in three acres of parkland. Charles Dickens was a friend of the family who owned the house in 1812, and in his book, Great Expectations, defines the name of this curiously named building as being meaning "Whoever lives in the house could wish for nothing more." From the moment you enter the house and step onto the original York stone paving in the Entrance Hall, you realise that Satis House is a hotel with its own unique character. With an award winning AA 2 Rosette restaurant, beautiful gardens, comfortable rooms and exceptional, friendly service, guests at Satis House are sure to be inclined to agree with the famous author's remarks.
The Great House is a multi-award winning boutique hotel in the market place of the medieval village, Lavenham, offering high quality accommodation and outstanding food. The house was extensively renovated in the 18th Century, but from the outside has a distinctly Georgian appearance. It was turned it into its current form of a luxury boutique hotel with restaurant in 1985. The French cuisine found in the restaurant has a wonderful reputation, and the five en suite bedrooms (four of which have separate lounges) are light and elegant yet retain the undeniable charm of the house. A multitude of hidden delights include generous sized beds (including a Jacobean four-poster), a mini-bar, espresso machines, plasma screen television, wifi, hifi, hairdryers and ironing boards and the complimentary fruit and decanter of sherry offer a welcoming touch. In summer the French doors open onto a lovely stone-paved courtyard for drinks, lunch or dinner.

The Mill's fifteen rooms are the height of style with Italian designed, over-sized beds to ensure maximum comfort, complete with all modern requirements and facilities - including Bose sound systems and Loewe flat screen TVs. When dining, the menu features an exciting selection that reflects the chic yet rustic surroundings. Choose to eat in the bar with the water wheel, outside by the pond or upstairs where you will find the much sought-after window tables with views back up the Mill Stream. The hotel also has meeting and conference rooms for small parties, and a number of options available for intimate wedding celebrations of up to 60 guests, including a license for civil ceremonies.
Satis House Hotel & Restaurant (pictured above and below) in Yoxford is a fine 18th Century Grade II listed country house, set in three acres of parkland. Charles Dickens was a friend of the family who owned the house in 1812, and in his book, Great Expectations, defines the name of this curiously named building as being meaning "Whoever lives in the house could wish for nothing more." From the moment you enter the house and step onto the original York stone paving in the Entrance Hall, you realise that Satis House is a hotel with its own unique character. With an award winning AA 2 Rosette restaurant, beautiful gardens, comfortable rooms and exceptional, friendly service, guests at Satis House are sure to be inclined to agree with the famous author's remarks.
The Great House is a multi-award winning boutique hotel in the market place of the medieval village, Lavenham, offering high quality accommodation and outstanding food. The house was extensively renovated in the 18th Century, but from the outside has a distinctly Georgian appearance. It was turned it into its current form of a luxury boutique hotel with restaurant in 1985. The French cuisine found in the restaurant has a wonderful reputation, and the five en suite bedrooms (four of which have separate lounges) are light and elegant yet retain the undeniable charm of the house. A multitude of hidden delights include generous sized beds (including a Jacobean four-poster), a mini-bar, espresso machines, plasma screen television, wifi, hifi, hairdryers and ironing boards and the complimentary fruit and decanter of sherry offer a welcoming touch. In summer the French doors open onto a lovely stone-paved courtyard for drinks, lunch or dinner.

Look Beautiful On Your Wedding Day!
Sher Matsen asked:
Congratulations on your wedding day! I know this is the most special day of your life and you want to look better than ever before. Relax your a beautiful woman and with the right makeup tips you'll not only look beautiful, you'll be drop dead gorgeous! The most important thing to remember is don't get stressed. Stress will show on your face and you don't want anything to ruin those photos.
It's your day! You've got the perfect dress, veil, and shoes - now you'll have perfect makeup. Here are some Dos and Don't tips to help you on your very special day.
**Do**
1. Use a professional makeup artist if possible. Have a pre-wedding consultation so your makeup artist already knows what you want
2. If you decide to do your own makeup then visit the cosmetic counter at least a month before your wedding and have the consultant try different colors to see what looks best on you
3. Do your makeup before dressing
4. Have your makeup done as close to the ceremony as possible
5. Have a facial two weeks prior to your wedding. If you've not had facials in the past we would recommend you start this process 3-4 months prior to your wedding.
6. Use a primer before applying your foundation. This will make your foundation last longer. It is also a good idea to use an eye primer to eliminate shadow creasing
7. Make certain your foundation is an exact match to your skin tone
8. Use powdered rice papers to eliminate any shine
9. Use a light to medium lipstick that is long wearing. If you will be having black and white photos then add a layer of lip gloss
10. Exfoliating your lips will result in your lipstick lasting longer
11. Use translucent powder to set your makeup
12. Blend, blend, and blend again to make sure all your makeup is smooth and even.
13. If you are prone to red eyes use eye drops prior to the ceremony
14. Use water proof mascara just incase the tears of joy appear
15. Charcoal, navy, or mahogany are your best options for eyeliner. Black or brown may look too severe, especially if your wedding will be held during the daytime and/or outdoors.
16. When applying your makeup wear a button shirt that can be easily removed when its time to dress.
17. Place a towel over your head prior to slipping into your gown to avoid getting makeup on your gown.
18. Don't forget your blush! A pop of color on your cheeks is like an instant facelift.
19. If you've had your hair professionally done and you will be removing your veil, then have the stylist show your mom or bridesmaids how to fix your style
20. A week before your wedding rehearse your makeup - practice, practice, and practice some more, until you perfect the look you want for your wedding day
21. Treat nails at least a week prior to your wedding to ensure you are not dealing with ragged or dry cuticles
22. If your wearing sandals then about a month before your wedding start your foot treatment so your feet look as good as the rest of you
** Don't **
1. Do not do your own makeup. Have a professional makeup artist or a friend do it. Chances are you've got a bit of the jitters with all the excitement which could result in you having difficulties doing your own makeup
2. Don't make your foundation thick like a mask. Light for overall eveness is best.
3. Don't use shiny or shimmering products on dry skin
4. Don't overuse lip gloss
5. Don't have a facial within the previous 48 hours of your wedding. Facials can occasionally have unexpected results and you don't need any surprises.
6. Don't pop any pre wedding zits, instead use Visine to take the red out
7. Don't fret or stress - go with the moment
Follow these tips and you'll be the most beautiful bride on the planet!

Beauty Tips - Styling Tools - Which Hair Brush?
Debrah Dragon asked:
We all know about the various styling products available in the market today, ranging from hair straightening creams to coloring kits. However there are also many styling tools available too, that should make your styling life easier. As with everything else these tools are designed to make your life easier, and perfect the hairstyle you want.
You will hear it said many times over, that when it comes to hair styling products, the choices are vast. You will also hear it said many times over that everything you choose should depend on your hair type, your preferences, and your style. When it comes to hair styling tools, it is no different. You have a wide variety of choices. It is never easy choosing which styling tools you should be using. However, with our help, we hope that you will at least understand the different tools and their various uses to help us achieve our distinct hairstyle.
Hair Brushes
As the years go by, styling tools get more and more technical. We see new inventions, new discoveries, and new ways to save us time and money to get the hairstyle we are working for. The following are the various styling tools that both men and women use everyday.
The Differences
If you thought choosing a brush was easy, you are going to be surprised. It is not as simple as picking out one brush and that is that. No, now of hair accessories you have many different types to choose from.
? Round Hair Brush - Round hair brushes are not for everyone, particularly those with curly hair. These brushes are meant to add body and curls to the normally straight hair. They are also great for speeding up the time it takes to blow dry, thanks to the clever little holes. However, be careful with these, if not used properly, trust me, they become tangled in your hair quite easily; getting them it out is the hard part.
? Paddle Hair Brush - These can be large or small, depending on preference and coverage area. These typically have small to medium bristles.
? Picks - These are for curly to permed hair, never try to use a regular brush on permed hair, unless you want the perm to come out and extremely uneven at that.
? Combs - Typically, men and women with fine hair can get away with using combs. Some women, even those with thick hair, will use a comb for parting in specific spots or separating layers for styling.
No matter what type of brush you are choosing, you want to keep a few things in mind. First, use hair brushes that have a good handle, which will allow you to keep your grip and keep it tight. Next, look at the bristles on the brush, choose those which are fine and small, this will prevent tearing of the hair.
So the next time you are looking to change the style of your hair you know what tools to pick. The right tool will help you along your journey perfectly. Be sure to only buy products sold by reputable brands. Some of the well known brands should be sought as they are the best. These tools discussed above provide you with almost unlimited styling options, you can change the look of your hair within a few hours, no problem at all.

Top Tips for Looking Beautiful and Staying Healthy
beautybrief asked:
Beauty Brief has compiled a list of the best tips for 2009 on how to look great and feel great!
Tip#1: Myth: Eating Causes Wrinkles?!? Fact or Fiction?
It's true! Overtime, eating sugar can actually make skin appear wrinkled and dull. A chemical process takes place in our bodies to cause this wrinkling effect known as glycation. Glycation occurs when sugar in the blood stream attaches to proteins and forms molecules called AGE (advanced glycation end-products). The easiest way to minimize the effects is to avoid eating foods high in sugar, and to definitely always wear sunscreen. Additionally, vitamins B1 and B6 inhibit the formation of AGE molecules, so try getting 1 mg a day of each.
Tip#2: Know Your Food Portions!
Portion control is an integral part of dieting and maintaining a healthy weight. To help identify what correct portion sizes are we have outlined proper serving sizes and related those portions to everyday items.
* 1 serving of meat (6oz) is about the size of a deck of cards
* A single serving of pasta, rice or potatoes (1/2 cup) is roughly the size of a golf ball or a small scoop of ice cream.
* 1 serving of vegetables or fruit is about the size of a tennis ball or a fist.
* 1 serving of cheese is just the size of 2 dominoes or 4 dice.
Tip#3: Get Lots of Sleep!
Getting enough sleep is essential to look younger, lose weight and feel great. Unfortunately, a recent survey found that 75% of Americans believe they are not getting enough sleep on a regular basis. Sleep deprivation causes our skin to look older and drier because during sleep is when our skin renews itself. So, make sure you are getting enough sleep every night. Make it a priority!
Tip#4: Eat Foods That Make Your Skin Glow!
Our skin is the body's largest organ and it requires proper nutrition to stay healthy, beautiful and youthful looking. A, C, E & Selenium are necessary vitamins to help you look your best!
Foods Rich in Vitamin A: Broccoli, Spinach, Hale, Kale, Halibut, Red Peppers
Foods Rich in Vitamin C: Strawberries, Citrus Fruits, Tomatoes, Cantaloupes
Foods Rich in Vitamin E: Almonds, Asparagus, Avocados, Seeds, Olives
Foods Rich in Selenium: Nuts, Garlic, Poultry
Tip#5: Get Your Body Moving!
When you feel like there's not enough time in the day or you just don't know where or how to begin, we've put together a few tips on ways you can sneak exercise into your busy life without having to sacrifice anything on your to-do list.
1) If you take public transportation, get off a stop or two early and walk. Or, take the stairs instead of the elevator. And if you work in a high rise get off the elevator a few stories early and take the stairs the rest of the way. When going shopping, park at the far end of the parking lot.
2) Join a health club near your work so that you can more conveniently get a work out in during your lunch or before/after work.
3) Use you speaker phone at work and walk around the room while speaking.
4) Make sure you either stand, walk around or stretch at least once every hour, for even just a minute. It's important to keep your blood circulating.
5) When traveling, walk around the airport while waiting for your flight instead of just sitting at the terminal.
Just doing a little bit of exercise every day counts. While you should try to get in at least 30 minutes a day, sometimes you just can't, remember these simple tips and try to work them into various times throughout your day.
Remember, every little bit helps! Use common sense and reward yourself with a good book or iced tea instead of grabbing an unhealthy snack when you are following your diet. Take little walks around the building on your break, and call a friend to walk on the weekends. If you use these tips this year you will be on the road to not only looking beautiful but feeling good!

Natural Tips to Look Beautiful
jasminesmith asked:
Beauty is skin deep, so goes the good old saying. But, that does not rob the charm of enhancing your looks. So, hey there, beauty conscious, there's just no harm in having some of the best beauty tips up your sleeves. For looking and feeling beautiful is a sign of health and happiness.
Your face is your passport; do not ever neglect it. The skin of your face is constantly assaulted by the environment: temperature too high or too low, wind, pollution, temperature changes. It needs to be protected by the use of an anti-oxidant cream. Protective cream or restorative cream, the choice of your cream depends on your skin type and your needs.
Beautiful people of all ages have maintained that beauty is not as much reflected in the rosy, youthful look of the skin. When questioned about the secret to their beautiful skins, they have always attributed it to a healthy lifestyle and a few homemade beauty tips.
Moisturizing the face with low content of chemicals keeps the skin tight without any wrinkles. Drinking excess water makes the skin glow where the water helps to eliminate the bacteria and toxins from the body. Cleaning the skin with the cleansing milk is the best tip where it consists of milk factors.
Buttermilk/cream and yogurt make excellent skin cleansers. They are also excellent for giving a glowing, uniform color and skin tone. They have been used for wrinkle reduction and plumping/rejuvenating the skin. What also works great is eating salmon 2 times a week.
A well-balanced healthy diet including fresh fruits and vegetables will help you to attain natural beauty. Drinking natural fruit juices will enhance natural energy of body. Fruit juices such as oranges, apple, carrots and cucumber juices are excellent beauty secrets that rejuvenate your skin, nails and hair.
One of the best skin care tips we can give you then is to go on an appropriate diet. And when we say appropriate diet, we mean a diet that is approved by doctors, dieticians and / or nutritionists. Not all diets are applicable to all body types, you know.
You need to keep your body moisturized. Your hands and feet should keep an ample level of moisture in the body. File you nails and apply your most favorite nail polish. A refreshing foot spa is a smash. You will be getting rid of that callus and dead skin and you will leave your hands and feet glowing.

Beauty Tips for a Healthy and Youthful Look
John Russell asked:
r you are in your 20's or 50's, healthy skin and hair, etc. is something we all want to achieve. No matter what your age, we all have the desire for a healthy and youthful look. Sadly, however, most of us are either unaware of how we go about doing this or we don't achieve it on a daily basis. But did you know it is, in fact, quite simple to achieve? And it won't cost you a lot of money?
Upholding and of course retaining a healthy and youthful look is all about taking care of yourself and deciding to make a few changes to your habits and lifestyle. By making small changes to your lifestyle and beauty regimen, you will soon start to notice big differences to the way in which your skin looks. The sooner you start taking these changes on board, the sooner you will start to notice a difference, so lets start now with some beauty skin care...
One of the most aging aspects to your skin is the sun - constant sunbathing without the right protection, or no protection at all, may give you a nice tan but what you are actually doing is burning your skin; you are damaging layers upon layers of it, which is why you should keep out of it as much as you can. This is, however, sometimes near impossible to do and of course you are going to want to enjoy the weather so make sure you are protected. Wear a hat, sunglasses, and make sure your skin care products have a high SPF factor. This is because the ultraviolet rays that the sun gives off harms your skin and constant exposure will simply induce the appearance of wrinkles on the skin, however, without SPF protection the suns rays can also be the cause of skin cancer.
You only have to suffer sunburn once to put yourself at risk of developing skin cancer and all it takes to stop this risk is applying SPF lotion. So make sure that when you are exposed to the sun you take the necessary steps to keep your skin protected, and remember, the less damage caused to your skin by the sun the more your skin will remain healthy and youthful.
Also, when you are out in the sun, the way in which you apply your make-up, believe it or not, can have an impact on whether your skin appears healthy and youthful. So how should you apply it? Start by applying concealer over any pimples and dark circles that appear under the eyes and any blemishes you have, then finish with a light foundation and a touch of bronzer. On top of this use a little bit of lipstick and possibly some mascara. The more simple you keep the make-up the better, this is because too much make-up often ends up making you look older as opposed to younger.
One of the most important aspects that you need in order to achieve and maintain healthy and youthful skin is a good moisturizer. It is our skin, after all, that most easily reveals our age and, let's face it, if your skin is continually dry and stretched with wrinkles, fine lines, and spots, you are bound to appear older. The best way of keeping such aspects at bay is with the help of a skin care moisturizer cream; just make sure you choose the correct moisturizer for your skin type as a moisturizer designed for oily skin is not the best thing to be applying to dry skin as chances are it will make the problem a lot worse.
You should aim to apply skin care moisturizer cream twice a day to keep the skin in the best condition possible. This will make it feel soft, smooth, and plumped up. Also, the actual act of applying the moisturizer will help to improve blood circulation, thus, keeping the skin glowing and healthy.
Your skin is one of the biggest factors when it comes to looking healthy and youthful so by keeping this in the best condition possible you are already halfway there. This should be the starting point to achieving the healthy and youthful look you have always wanted so make sure you keep the above points in mind.

Wear a hat, sunglasses, and make sure your skin care products have a high SPF factor. This is because the ultraviolet rays that the sun gives off harms your skin and constant exposure will simply induce the appearance of wrinkles on the skin, however, without SPF protection the suns rays can also be the cause of skin cancer.
You only have to suffer sunburn once to put yourself at risk of developing skin cancer and all it takes to stop this risk is applying SPF lotion. So make sure that when you are exposed to the sun you take the necessary steps to keep your skin protected, and remember, the less damage caused to your skin by the sun the more your skin will remain healthy and youthful.
Also, when you are out in the sun, the way in which you apply your make-up, believe it or not, can have an impact on whether your skin appears healthy and youthful. So how should you apply it? Start by applying concealer over any pimples and dark circles that appear under the eyes and any blemishes you have, then finish with a light foundation and a touch of bronzer. On top of this use a little bit of lipstick and possibly some mascara. The more simple you keep the make-up the better, this is because too much make-up often ends up making you look older as opposed to younger.
One of the most important aspects that you need in order to achieve and maintain healthy and youthful skin is a good moisturizer. It is our skin, after all, that most easily reveals our age and, let's face it, if your skin is continually dry and stretched with wrinkles, fine lines, and spots, you are bound to appear older. The best way of keeping such aspects at bay is with the help of a skin care moisturizer cream; just make sure you choose the correct moisturizer for your skin type as a moisturizer designed for oily skin is not the best thing to be applying to dry skin as chances are it will make the problem a lot worse.
You should aim to apply skin care moisturizer cream twice a day to keep the skin in the best condition possible. This will make it feel soft, smooth, and plumped up. Also, the actual act of applying the moisturizer will help to improve blood circulation, thus, keeping the skin glowing and healthy.
Your skin is one of the biggest factors when it comes to looking healthy and youthful so by keeping this in the best condition possible you are already halfway there. This should be the starting point to achieving the healthy and youthful look you have always wanted so make sure you keep the above points in mind.

Tanning products, such as lotions, provides your skin with protection from the dangerous rays and light used in tanning beds. While many of these products promote a darker, quicker tan, they are also giving your skin some much needed protection.
Tanning products are a must when you use a tanning bed. Think of all the harmful effects that being out in the natural sun can result in. These effects include skin cancer, premature aging, wrinkles, fine lines, skin blotches and the list goes on. However, even though tanning beds are indoors, it mimics the sun, giving you a quicker; easier attain tan, without having to face the sun.

The vitamins work to prevent the possibility of fine lines while using the tanning bed. The copper can minimize the emergence of minor blemishes and scars. The moisturizer prevents dryness of the skin, which is common for those using tanning beds, thanks to the ultraviolet light used. At the same time, the moisturizer can thwart the chances of pealing as well. Now, if you are looking for maximum protection, you will want to choose a tanning product that contains aloe vera.

Beauty Tips - Four Essential Skin Care Tips
Debrah Dragon asked:
If you want to keep your skin looking beautiful, young, and healthy, then you must take the necessary steps to ensure that you are implementing the proper skin care regimen into your day. Your skin is the only one you are going to have, taking care of it is crucial to looking your best no matter your age.
Your skin care regimen should be a daily process. It does not have to take a great deal of time, five minutes each day and you can keep your skin looking beautiful. The best thing about your skin care regimen is that you will enjoy it, love the feeling, and love the immediate results that you experience each time.
While there are many ways to implement skin care into your daily routine, there are four essential steps that you should take everyday that will keep you looking and feeling your best from morning until night.
Essential Skin Care Tip #1 - The Products
You want to make sure that any skin care products you choose are of the highest quality, as well as meant specifically for your skin. Before choosing take note of your skin, is it dry? Oily? Normal? These skin types all matter when choosing skin care products. You want to make sure that the products you choose for your skin care regimen are going to benefit your skin, not make matter worse.
Essential Skin Care Tip #2 - Use Steam
Using steam is essential to caring for your skin and should be an important part of your skin care regimen. When you steam the skin, you are clearing and opening the pores allowing them become accessible to cleansing. This can usually be done at night, before bed.
If you don't have a facial steamer, a washcloth works fantastic. Simply soak the cloth in water that is steaming, lightly wring it, and then close it around your face. You should allow the steam to work on the face for one to one and a half minutes for maximum results.
Essential Skin Care Tip #3 - Cleansing
Of course, you already know that cleansing your skin is essential to proper skin care. However, it is best to do this after steaming, because the pores are open, accessible, and ready to rid themselves of dirt and oils. Before you begin, after pores are open, take some warm water and splash it on the neck and face.
Next, take your cleanser, place some on your hands, and create a creamy lather by mixing with a slight amount of water. With your face wet from splashing, massage the cleanser onto the face with a complexion brush or your fingertips, moving circularly all over the face. This should be done for thirty seconds, then rinse and pat dry.
Essential Skin Care Tip #4 - Tone & Moisturize
Lastly, after you steam and cleanse, toning and moisturizing is next. Your chosen toner should be free of alcohol, gentle, and readies the skin for moisturizing. When moisturizing you only want to place a small amount on your face, too much can be harmful.
In conclusion I would like to say that choosing the right treatment for your skin is imperative. Don't just buy stuff of the shelf or try the next best home brew method you read of the internet. The first step should be to know your skin type and what really affects your skin, if or not you have any skin problems. Consulting a dermatologist is a good idea if you have a skin condition that you can't explain. It is only when once you know your skin type should you really attempt to use home made or artificial products. However artificial products don't have any side or adverse affects which if they are not affective they wont be counter productive as well.
Now you know just what it takes to implement the proper skin care regimen into your daily routine. So all you need to do is to pickup your stuff and start moving along the path of youth and radiance.

Beauty Tips - Choosing Your Perfume
Debrah Dragon asked:
Choosing a perfume to wear can be a fun experience that includes a trip to the mall or department store to "try on" a few different types of perfumes in order to get the best one for your body. You will want to select a scent that matches your personality and that is a pleasurable scent to you. For instance if you are a big guy a sent with a subtle sent should work, because a strong smelling scent will give you a more feminine touch. If you decide first which kind of scent you are interested in, you can test a few aromas from within that category to decide which specific perfume to purchase.
Floral Perfumes
Do you like taking the time to smell the flowers? If so, you would probably like to wear perfume that has a floral fragrance. You can select from many floral scents, including lavendar, sunflowers and roses. Floral aroma perfumes are among some of the oldest types, but people of all ages can wear the floral perfumes.
Earthy Perfumes
Think of the smell when you open a cedar chest. There are perfumes that mimic the woody fragrances for natural perfumes. many mature women prefer earthy scents over floral or sweet smelling perfumes. Earthy scents, like sandalwood and cedar are best worn at night and during the fall and winter.
In addition to the wood-themed scents, there are also perfumes that will have you thinking about fresh cut grass, rainforests and oriental "flavors". These are most often worn by the younger crowd, or the athletic women as they are a bit more contemporary.
Fruit Perfumes
Many younger ladies prefer to wear fruity-smelling perfumes. They tend to have a bit of a spicy aroma, but are almost crisp in their aromas. Fall and winter months are perfect for things like cider, apple and champagne aromas.
Once you've decided on the type of perfume that suits you best, whether it be floral, fruit or earthy aroma perfumes, then you can look at perfumes that fall within the specific category. It's best to go to a department store that allows you to spray or dab on a few different scents because perfumes will smell differently depending on who wears them. The scents actually interact with your natural smell; and will influence how the perfume smells once you put it on. So if you and your best friend go perfume shopping together, and wear the same perfume- it aroma it gives off once applied to your skin will be different on each of you!
Scent is not really a gender thing, almost all men and women love perfume. It would be wrong to categorize one type of scent for men and the other for women. Although commercials do a great job of drawing a line between male and famine perfumes, when in reality there is no one on earth that can really distinguish between a male or female perfume. It really goes to say that the best perfume for you is what you like. For many people that may even mean wearing commercially advertised female perfume. Smelling like roses may be a good idea for a woman but in many cultures men love to keep flowers in their pockets as well. So pick the perfume you like and it would leave a great impression regardless of what gender it is meant for.

How to Look Beautiful
Kamen Loze asked:
To look beautiful is a dream of every boy and girl. Looking beautiful is such a Herculean task. Beauty always come from inside and if you want to look beautiful you have to look natural. Well, whether these beauty products and treatments jazz up their beauty, or prove to be a banana skin for them is something that only women can tell. But, there is one beauty treatment that women have trust in for eons. Yes, we are alluding to the natural and herbal beauty treatment that offers some real, nonpareil benefits. To look beautiful without a lot of make-up and skimpy clothes, you first need to start with simple steps and within no time, you will be with the perfect guy.
Cleanse, tone, and moisturize, preferably with a moisturizer that contains an SPF of at least 15. Don't use a facial scrub more than three times a week, as this can irritate the skin, especially if you have acne. For people with oily or combination skin, masks can help draw excess oil from your skin. Don't use these beyond once a week, since you don't want to strip all your natural oils away. Exfoliating, which is removing old skin layers, can certainly help by lessening blemishes that resulted from acne. A blackhead scrub works too.
Be chary of the eye make-up as well. It can be troublesome at times. Most of the eye products are fine for the eyes, but removing the eye make-up can be quite tricky. Harsh make up removers can irritate the eyes, and may even damage them. To get the make-up off you eyes, try this tip. Get some baby wash and mix it with warm water. This works wonders and will even take off waterproof eye make up.
Clothes should be very fashionable but not exposing, after all, your clothes represent who you are and if you wear short clothes to impress a guy, he will return home with the impression that you are just a prostitute. Don't over dress or else he'll think you are dying to impress him. Over accessorizing will either make you look immature or really old. Just wear one accessory at a time, either wears a nice bracelet or a nice pair of earrings. Avoid chains or necklaces. A small diamond dot in the ears will make you look really innocent and pure.
Once a week (twice a week if you have water or earth predominant Kapha skin), treat your facial skin to at-home herbal steam therapy before you cleanse. The herbal steam treatments will help release deep-seated toxins and clear the channels of the skin, giving it room to breathe freely. Choose herbs based on your skin type: lavender flowers and rose petal powder, for example, work well for dry or normal skin, and neem powder, citrus peel powder and holy basil powder for oily skin.

Beauty Tips - Facial Care That Slows Down Aging
Debrah Dragon asked:
Your face tells your whole story; a beautiful and fresh face shows that you are careful about what you use for your face. It also means that you take the time out to care for yourself. Many people consider just washing their faces with soap daily as being facial care. Just washing your face may remove some of the residual oils on your face as well as clear up a few pores, but it would do nothing to make you look beautiful or improve your facial skin. Washing your face is important, however in order to look good you need to do a little more than that.
There are many lines of products available for facial care. Facial cleansers are especially created to be used on the face in place of soaps. Bar soaps, which are produced for the body, can often be more drying to the face and do not provide the benefits or meet the needs of proper facial care like the specialized cleansers. Facial cleaners offer solutions for removing makeup, treating blemishes and acne, dissolving blackheads, treating dry or flaky skin, managing oily skin, and protecting sensitive skin. Some cleansers offer added benefits such as deep cleaning and pore cleaning. Many deliver a cool, refreshing feeling to the face. The facial cleansers come in many forms including gels, liquids, foams, creams, and oils. Most are recommended to be used daily but there are products available for less frequent treatments.
There is also a large selection of lotions made just for the face. They tend to be lighter than a body lotion to control oiliness while offering added moisture. Many products contain other benefits such as sunscreen, self-tanners, and anti-aging ingredients which help decrease wrinkles and other signs of aging in the face.
Beyond lotions and facial cleansers, there is a wide variety of items available for specific treatment for issues concerning the face, such as acne, blackheads, whitehead, and eczema. These treatments come in many forms including liquids, gels, foams, creams, pre-moistened applicators and pads, and wipes. There are also masks which are applied and allowed to harden on the skin in an effort to remove the impurities in the pores. These masks remain on the face for a certain period of time as directed until they have thoroughly dried. The treatment is then removed with warm water or by peeling the mask from the skin. Generally these products are convenient and easy to apply. Many are intended to be rinsed off after application, though some directions require the treatment remain on the skin, depending on the issue being treated. Professional salons offer many options for a facial which cleans the skin and pores, and also relaxes the body. Salon facials are relatively inexpensive depending on the services received.
It is good practice to maintain proper and daily care of the face by removing makeup every day to ensure pores remain clear. Allowing dirt, natural oils, and environmental pollutants to build up in the pores will lead to blemishes and possibly more serious skin problems and conditions.
If you have a specific skin condition or you just have sensitive skin be sure to consult a professional. Find out what you can and cannot use on your skin. This would insure that you don't spoil your skin any further by using things that don't agree with you.

Many are intended to be rinsed off after application, though some directions require the treatment remain on the skin, depending on the issue being treated. Professional salons offer many options for a facial which cleans the skin and pores, and also relaxes the body. Salon facials are relatively inexpensive depending on the services received.
It is good practice to maintain proper and daily care of the face by removing makeup every day to ensure pores remain clear. Allowing dirt, natural oils, and environmental pollutants to build up in the pores will lead to blemishes and possibly more serious skin problems and conditions.
If you have a specific skin condition or you just have sensitive skin be sure to consult a professional. Find out what you can and cannot use on your skin. This would insure that you don't spoil your skin any further by using things that don't agree with you.

Beauty Tips - Face Care Basics
Debrah Dragon asked:
Just washing your face with beauty soap twice a day is not enough. You will need to work a little bit harder than that since unlike other parts of your body your face is very sensitive and remains constantly exposed to the elements. There are thousands of products available to us these days to help make us look beautiful. Foundation mousse, lip plumper, eye glitters and concealers, we're so busy with our makeup that we sometimes forget about the needs of the face underneath it. But when it comes right down to it, your face will look better, whether you're wearing makeup or not, if you take care of it first.
So pay attention to your skin, and meet your skin's needs face-forward. When it comes to a fresh face, it's all about the cleanser.
Using the right cleanser will require that you have some knowledge about your skin such as, i.e. oily, dry or normal. Selecting a cleanser accordingly will ensure that the cleanser works to its full potential. You should always opt to use cleansers that are natural, which will eliminate any chances of it causing any side effects.
Daily use of a good cleanser is the starting point for glowing skin. You should use a gentle, non-comedogenic (non-pore-clogging) cleanser that won't dry your skin out. And remember, more isn't better- washing your face too frequently can dry out your skin, making your sweat-producing glands work overtime to keep up, resulting in oily, unhappy skin. Washing twice a day should do it. If your skin has a tendency toward acne, you can use an acne-cleanser with ingredients like salicylic acid and Benzoyl peroxide to help your skin absorbs acne treatments, but the same rule goes-stick to two washes a day.
Most people should also have a face moisturizer. Even if you already have a moisturizing cream that you use from the rest of your body, you probably need a different one for you face, because your face's skin and your body's skin have different needs. To meet those needs, get a light moisturizer for your face, one that is non-comedogenic like your face cleanser, to avoid clogging your pores and causing acne breakouts. A good moisturizer will keep your skin looking young and fresh, prevent dryness that leads it itchiness, flaking, and sometimes blemishes, and help fight off the early onset of fine wrinkles.
However, to fully protect your skin from the affects of aging, your moisturizer should also contain UV protection. Studies have shown that exposure to the sun causes premature aging of the skin. A tan looks nice, but tans are temporary-and wrinkles are forever. Your daily moisturizer should have a minimum SPF protection of 15, and if you know you're going to be out in the sun a lot, use a stronger SPF sunscreen, and apply liberally and regularly.
Finally, lifestyle habits count big. Smoking and excessive drinking can wreak havoc on your complexion, and a good night's sleep and healthy, balanced diet give you a glow that nothing else in the world can. Frequent vacations and lots of rest work wonders. Take care of yourself, and your skin will take care of you. Feed your face the best your can and in return you will look much better than you currently do. By using the right stuff you can reduce years of your age, without having to resort to surgery or other forms of artificial methods.

A Unique Beauty Contest Made of Fruits
Lilia Parker asked:
Healthy food guidelines on how to conduct an enjoyable healthy colourful party for children: Fruit Beauty Contest. Be unique - and stay health!
Most of us housewives have pretty good knowledge of how to make tasty and healthy desserts from fruits and berries. That said, you can add to your recipe books with a wealth of unique and trusty recipes if you visit the site "Kind Fairytales" and have a flick through Vol. One "Fruits and Berries" from "The Fairytale Guide to Healthiness", Why not try out some of the more unusual healthy recipes with your children, like "Apples in their jackets," or "Banana icicles" and let them actively participate in the preparation. If your child doesn't like apples or bananas, we can guarantee that they will come round once they can help their mums or grandmas to make these culinary masterpieces!
It's birthday time for the apples, pears, bananas....
This game works best if you get an invitation together the night before. It can be homemade or bought but you must invite your child to the birthday party of any fruit that you happen to have in your larder. Your child will be amazed and excited at the fact that they have received the invite. Once you have given them the invitation, sit down with them and discuss what present they would like to take with them to the party. The present can be a basket of fruit for example or some kind of doily on which they can draw a picture of the 'birthday boy/girl'. If not, they could just draw a portrait and put it in a nice frame. Bear in mind that you will need to speak for the birthday boy/girl though! Create a scene where you greet the guests and place the presents on a beautiful celebratory table. Allow your child to mingle with the guests, and ask questions etc. Under no circumstances refuse when your child asks to eat some of the fruit! You should never offend the birthday person!
The Apple, Plum, Pear, Berries.... Beauty Contest
This contest is better played at the harvest time of berries or fruit. Ask your child to sort through the fruits, so that they can make strawberry jam for example. Then ask the children to decide which fruit is the most appetising. The berries can be arranged on different plates or in vases. You won't be able to resist popping the nicest ones in your mouth! After you have finished sorting them out, invite all the family to the 'berry beauty contest.'
Announce that the beauty queen and her friends (carefully selected by the jury) will be frozen and then invited to the New Year party. The rest of the berries should be eaten with the applaus of everybody. Make sure that a pair of berries is left behind after the contest. The aim will be to eat these for at the end for an extra vitamin 'pick me up'.
Fruit Portraits
All children love to paint so why not get your child to open up an art studio in his/her room? You can prepare a beautiful scene from which the 'famous young artist' can paint portraits of fruits and berries. Get them to wear an artist's gown and give them a palette of paints to hold. Then offer them paintbrushes, pens and pencils so as to create the perfect 'artistic' atmosphere. Invite all the fruits along to the 'sitting' in your home.
Each painting can be done on a separate sheet of canvas and don't forget to get your child to place their signature on the bottom of each one! In between each sitting you must refresh yourselves by tasting some of the fruit and berries whose portraits you find the best... or the worst. If your child gets fed up with painting you could just get them to draw a group portrait or a still life. The main thing is that your child is engaged in the activity and is enthusiastic about eating the apples, pears etc...
Vitamin Doctor
Right, so after you have your portraits of the fruits and berries, you can acquaint your child with their health benefits. If you don't have any diagrams, you could ask for a picture card from a gardener or fruit grower. You can then prepare the game involving the 'fruit doctor.' On the back of each card you can write the health benefits of the fruit. You can look up the benefits in any medical guide on general health. When you have prepared everything, sit your child down with their puppets, toy mice, rabbits etc. and take them on a journey to the country of vitamins and tasty cures. You can be the tour guide.
Show them the drawing cards and then read the advice on the back. You could pretend that one of the toys has an illness and then show them how to cure it. To finish the tour, you can sample the vitamins in the form of a juice or fresh fruit of berries.
Tasty Arithmetic
This is a very simple but worthwhile game as it teaches your child to count using not sticks or balls but rather fruits and berries. With these you can demonstrate a range of arithmetic activities. Cut the apples up into segments and count them. Once you have eaten the apple segments add some berries to a plate and increase the number of them so that you have several plates. You can have lots of fun with raisins, dates and cherries! After the lesson you can taste the tasty arithmetic!

Beauty Tips - Using Corrective Body Makeup to Hide Imperfections
Debrah Dragon asked:
For a majority of us our bodies are not perfect, and for many of us we are always finding a way to cover those imperfections which can range from moles to scars. Corrective body makeup gives us a way to hide those imperfections, making our bodies look flawless.
A cosmetic product not as widely used or well known as foundation or coverup for the face, is something called corrective body makeup. It works in much the same way as foundation or coverup, except that it is used for your hands, legs, arms, or anywhere else on your body!
Some women have scars or other imperfections on their hands that make them feel self conscious. If you have blotchy skin from too much sun exposure, flaws including age spots, bruises, varicose veins, unsightly birth marks or stretch marks, or even for a tattoo you want to cover or hide- covering up with some corrective body makeup can help you feel better about yourself and more confident.
Water Resistant
Corrective body makeup is perfect for days at the beach and even when swimming! When wearing a bathing suit, there is very little you can "hide"; but when you slather some of this product over your arms, legs, feet, hands (and belly if wearing a two piece!) you can minimize the effects of skin imperfections and create a more flawless look. Corrective body makeup is smudge and water resistant, so it will stay on even as you swim, splash with the kids or play in the sand.
Other Benefits of Corrective Body Makeup
In addition to helping you look good and feel better about yourself, the corrective body makeup products also protect your skin against harmful effects of the sun because it includes a sunscreen. As if that wasn't enough, it also contains moisturizing ingredients and treats your body with gluconolactone, polyhydroxy acid and antioxidants.
Corrective body makeup also has a slight tinge of color to it, so it can be used for a natural looking tan- perfect when just starting out the summer season before you've had a chance to bronze your pale, winter skin! Just choose the shade that closest matches your skin if you don't want to appear tanned, and choose a slightly darker shade when you are looking for that sun-kissed look.
Hiding Tattoos
Whether you love your tattoo or you regret the day you let someone brand you with a needle- you can slather on some corrective body makeup whenever you want to hide your tattoo. Perhaps you have a job interview and don't want an obvious tattoo to create the wrong first impression; or maybe you've changed your mind about your tattoo and wish it never happened? Hide it with the body makeup until you have the time to have your tattoo removed!
The greatest thing about body makeup is that it would not appear as makeup at all. It blends in with the color of your skin giving it a natural look. It saves you a lot of frustration and annoyance specially when you are trying to select a trendy new outfit. The latest designs expect that you have a flawless body, when in reality probably none of us do. So corrective body is here to the rescues. The amazing thing about this is nobody would ever know that you even have an imperfection that you are trying to cover-up.

Fresh: Daily Beauty Guide
Victoria asked:
For a busy woman on the go, it is a challenge to make sure that you completed your daily beauty regiment. How many times have you forgotten to add a moisturizer, style your hair, spray a sweet smelling perfume, etc.? It has happened to all busy women. To help you with your daily beauty, just remember this acronym FRESH (face, rouge, eyes, scent, and hair), so you wouldn’t forget anything.
Face
After you get out of the shower, the first thing you should start beautifying is your face. First, put moisturizer and anti wrinkle cream if needed onto your skin. Wait a few minutes. Then, add your concealer and foundation, so your face looks one color. Remember to pat your foundation and concealer to blend and never rub them in. Otherwise, you defeat the purpose of using foundation and concealer to hide unwanted blemishes, wrinkles, dark circles, age spots, etc. After you are finished, add some powder on top of your fountain and concealer. Remember your face at this point should look like a blank canvas.
Rouge
Once your face is one color, now it’s time to add some life. First, add blush or bronzer to parts of your face that the sun will hit such as cheeks, chin, forehead, and nose. Then, add lip gloss or lip stick to enhance your lips. If you plan to add more emphasis to your lips, pick darker colors. However if you want to bring out your eyes, deemphasize your lips by using pale neutral colors.
Eyes
If you wear contact lenses, put them in before you even start applying your makeup. Otherwise if you are teary eyed, you may mess up your makeup. Once you added a base and color, it’s time to make your eyes gorgeous. If you choose to stick with a soft color for your lips, you can add more color, eye liner, and mascara to your eyes. You want to stick with natural colors for eye shadow such as purple, pink, and browns. These colors are great for women who emphasized their lips. However if you have green, blue, or hazel eyes, you can add more trendy colors such as light green, pale blues, or soft yellows. Remember to blend your eye shadow and make sure it looks natural. Afterwards, you can add eye liner, which is perfect for going out at night. For eyeliner, you want natural colors such as black, brown, or violet. Then, put a light coating of black or brown mascara on your eye lashes. Now, you are finished with your makeup.
Scent
The next step is to add a scent such as a fragrance or perfume. When choosing a scent, you want something that is light smelling and compliments the season. Some seasonal scents are apples and pears for the fall, holiday berries and peppermints for the winter, flowers and strawberries for the spring, and ocean and watermelon for the summer. Regardless of what scents you choose, just be careful not to purchase strong scents that make others sneeze because they may not want to be near you. After you picked a scent that is appropriate for the season and others, you can apply it to your wrists and/or neck.
Hair
Finally if you are in a hurry, your hair should brush and comb your hair before styling it with a flat iron, blower dryer, and/or curling iron. However if it is a nice day out and you can wait an hour to leave your home, you can always towel dry your hair and let the heat dry it. After you are done styling your hair, you may want to brush it again to put it up or leave it down. You can also add any other hair products such as anti frizz or volumizer for lasting affects.

Beauty Tips for an Evening Look
Donna Trolet asked:
When you are getting ready to go out for the evening you will want to make sure that you know how to apply your makeup in a way that will give you a gorgeous night time look. Many women wear their makeup the same way whether it is daytime or evening. This can lead them to look washed out and pale in the evening hours. You want to make sure that you apply your makeup a certain way to accomplish that great evening look when you head out for the night.
The first thing that you want to do is to start with the right foundation, it should be light and the right shade for your skin tone. Then you will want to use three different shades of eye shadow on your eyes. Start by applying the lightest color to your entire eyelid up to the bottom of your eyebrow. Take the medium shade and apply it to your your eyelid and just above the crease. The dark color will be applied to right above the crease and around to right below your bottom eyelashes, this will create a smoky look that is great for evening. Next, you are going to apply your eyeliner and your mascara.
When it comes to blush, you are going to use a little more for an evening look than you would if it were daytime. You want to apply it to the apples of your cheeks, unless you have a very round face. Women with round faces will want to apply it up near their temples. You should use a darker lip gloss for the evening and if you are trying to make your lips appear fuller then you will outline them with that same shade of lip liner and then apply the gloss. To really make them fuller take a lighter shade of lip gloss and add it to just the middle part of your lips. Now you are ready for your evening.

Beauty Tips - Make The World Smell A Little Nicer
Debrah Dragon asked:
Smells mean a lot to us then we may notice, good smells attract while bad smells repel. Our in many cases our nose is our most relied and trusted allay, giving us feedback about what is good and what is not good for us.
Do you wish the world could be just a little bit nicer? Well, with a fragrance and perfume set, at least your part of it can smell a lot nicer. Take the fragrance you love with you everywhere by getting it in multiple product-types, so the world can always smell just how you want it to, wherever you go.
Whether you don't normally wear a scent and you're looking to try one out, or you do, but you feel ready for a change, a fragrance set can give you the options you need. But first, you have to determine what kind of scent you're looking for. Fragrances and perfumes can have aromas ranging from flirty and fruity to flowery and fresh, so you'll want to get a sense of what suits you before you purchase your set. You may even want to go home wearing a sample of your top choice the first time you go shopping, just to see how it wears on you. The scent of a good perfume continues to develop throughout the day, so try it out to see if you like what it develops into.
Next, you should decide what you want out of your set. A fragrance and perfume set can come with anything from multiple perfumes to body splash, bar soaps, body mist, and deodorants, so decide which uses suit your lifestyle the most. If you don't like the idea of a strong smell, or have a high sensitivity to scents, you might want to go for a mild fragrance set, with a body wash or soap and a body mist. These will give you a light, fresh scent without feeling obvious or oppressive.
Of course, a scent never should be oppressive, to you, or your neighbors. If you decide on a set that contains a strong perfume, make sure to always use it in moderation. Ingredients in many perfumes can cause irritation to the skin and lungs, especially in asthmatics, when worn to heavily. You don't want to come to work thinking you smell lovely, only to end up giving your office-mate an asthma attack. If you have a sensitivity or allergy to the strong chemicals frequently used in perfumes and fragrances, you should look for a set that uses only all-natural ingredients. These can be easier on your skin, as well as your nose. Apply with care, and enjoy, all day long.
Scents have a way of customizing themselves, they do this by mixing up with your personal bodies odor to provide you with your own slightly unique scent, which is always positive. No two people that have applied the same scent will eventually end up smelling the same. This is what makes scents so unique, and this is where you will really find out if a particular scent is really for you or not. Scents are a way of scent communication, between people. It makes the impression even before you start, so choosing the right scent is always important.

Should I Buy a Beauty Book?
Carroll Willis asked:
Are you interested in improving your appearance? If you are, are you interested in learning what types of makeup is best for you, as well as how to properly apply it? If you are, you may have turned to the internet or to fashion magazines, but have you ever thought about buying a beauty book? If you haven't or even if you have, you may be wondering whether or not beauty books are really worth the money.
When it comes to determining whether or not beauty books are worth the money, there are a number of important factors that should be taken into consideration. For instance, beauty books come in a number of different formats. If you are looking for something in particular, like how to properly apply and remove makeup, you may be able to find a beauty book that specializes solely on those tasks. Beauty books that are right to the point and contain the information that you are looking are the best and they are definitely worth your money.
In addition, when trying to determine if beauty books are worth the buy, you will want to individually examine each book that you are interested in buying. Books may cover the same topics, but the information inside of them may be presented in different ways. For instance, if you were looking to buy a beauty book that outlined the proper ways to apply makeup, you likely want to see drawings or pictures; right? Just so you know, not all beauty guides contain detailed pictures or drawings. That is why it is important that you learn as much as you can about a beauty book before deciding to buy one.
Although the beauty book or books that you would like to buy are important in determining if the book or books are the worth your money, so is the location in which you buy them from. You should know that beauty books can be found at an unlimited number of different locations. For starters, you can buy beauty books from your local bookstores, beauty supply stores, department stores, and fashion stores. In addition to storefront locations, you can also buy beauty books from a number of online retailers. You will want to think comparing prices first to ensure that you are getting the best deal or at least to make sure that you aren't being overcharged.
If you are interested in buying a beauty book, but you are also on a tight budget, you may want to think about buying used books. There are a number websites, including online auction websites, where you can buy used books, including used beauty books. Also, if you like to attend yard sales or book sales, you may want to think about keeping your open for beauty books. Yard sales, thrift stores, and online auction websites often allow you to get a used book for fifty or even seventy-five percent off the normal asking price.
The decision as to where you want to buy a beauty book from, as well as which book you would like to buy is yours to make. With that in mind, however, it is important to make sure that you know exactly what you are buying. Just buying a beauty book without skimming through the book first or reading online reviews is almost always a surefire way to be met with disappointment or even end up wasting your money.

Skincare for Beautiful Hands
Susanne Naess, Beauty Development Manager asked:
Skincare for beautiful hands
Our hands are the most visible part of our bodies and the ultimate accessory. Hands take a lot of abuse in everyday activities and are constantly exposed to hot and cold climates. Hands are often roughly treated while washing clothes, dishes, scrubbing floors and working in the garden. We often have a tendency to neglect our hands, and do not take proper care to keep them looking young and groomed.
There are a few easy steps you can follow for keeping your hands soft and beautiful. Consider the following tips:
Keep hands warm in cold weather with warm gloves. Cold weather can severely dry out hands and make wrinkles look much worse.
Remember to moisturize your hands frequently using a good rich hand cream.
Avoid nail varnish removers containing Acetone, as these will dry out your nails.
Use a wooden or metal cuticle pusher after a shower to keep your cuticles looking neat. Cuticles function as barriers against bacteria and fungus, but they can often overgrow. Gently push the cuticles back, never cut your cuticles as it can result in hangnails which can be very painful.
Give nails breathing room. Experts suggest you take a one-week break from polish every month.
Exfoliate your hands once a week by using a solution of sea salt mixed with lemon juice. Brush the paste into your hands with an old toothbrush to remove any dead skin cells.
Sun exposure damages skin so use sunscreen lotion on hands before venturing outside.
Lemon juice is a great treatment to lighten age spots. Dab some lemon juice on a cotton wool and rub unto hands.
For silky smooth hands apply petroleum jelly to hands and cover with cotton gloves while you sleep.
Improve circulation and loosen your finger joints with some hand exercise. Clench your fists tightly for a second and them throw them open so that your fingers are spread as wide as possible. Steadily repeat this 10 times.
Doing your own nails is economical and practical, but a professional manicure every two or three months welcomes a bit of pampering. Professional beauty therapists can deal with tough problems like flaking cuticles and calluses better than you can at home.
Hand and feet care regimes are two of the most popular treatment services carried out by beauticians today. The purpose of the manicure and pedicure is to improve the appearance and condition of hands and feet. Once considered a luxury treatment for only the few, today those services are used by many. Special treatments such as a warm oil bath, paraffin wax treatments and herbal therapies can keep your hands soft and supple forever. Having a professional manicure and pedicure on a regular basis is highly recommended and will have your nails and hand looking beautiful!

Beauty Tips - Care For Troubled Nails
Debrah Dragon asked:
Do your nails constantly flake, tear and chip? Are you tired of them catching on the threads of your favorite shirts? Sick of getting manicures, only to have one of your nails get ruined within an hour? It doesn't always have to be like this. Even if you inherited bad nails from your parents, there are lots of steps that you can take to keep them strong, healthy and beautiful. Today it is easier to maintain good nails with all the various formulas and products around to give you a helping hand. And unbelievably you don't need a manicure too keep your nails in good condition. There are various things you can do to keep your nails in good condition.
First, step away from the nail polish! No one wants to hear it, but the fact is, if you have severely dry or weak fingernails that tend to crack, you shouldn't be using nail polish on a regular basis. Nail polish removers contain alcohol, which draws necessary moisture out of your already-dry nails, making them more vulnerable to splitting. So only use nail polish on an occasional basis, to minimize remover usage. So the lesson to learn here is to limit if not discontinue the use of nail polish until you get the condition of your nails back on track.
That doesn't mean that your nails can't have a nice shine, though. Buffing your nails instead of polishing them gives your nails the same glow that you would get from a clear polish, but without the negative side effects. Just buy yourself a simple three-step buffer, and shine to your heart's content. Amazingly a nail buffer works wonders for your nails. Your nails can actually start looking better than they ever were. However a nail buffers should not be used regularly rather they should be used after regular intervals.
There are other simple steps that you can take to protect the balance of moisture in your nails. Wearing gloves while you wash dishes, or during any other activity that might allow your nails to soak, helps protect them from drying out. Using a heavy hand moisturizer also helps, by restoring a little moisture to nails that are already dry. And with nails, like with the rest of you, diet counts big. Having a protein-rich diet, complete with folic acids, supplies your body with the right building-blocks for healthy nails. Give your body what it wants, and it will give you what you want.
Finally, normal day-to-day nail care procedures help keep damaged nails healthy. Don't let your nails grow too long; it might look nice, but if you have weak nails, it just makes them more vulnerable to breakage. Instead, be in charge of your nail length. Keep them trimmed closer to the finger, and keep them trimmed to the same length. Use a file to rub down rough edges- not only does this help prevent tearing caused by rough snags catching on fabric, but it allows you to shape your nails however you like. And never, ever bite. It doesn't look good, and it's bad for your teeth. Follow these steps, and your nails- and your sweaters' will thank you!
Your nails play an important way in the way your hand looks. A set of good nails will make you look and feel dashing.

Debrah Dragon asked:
Bath and body products are now and have always been one of the most popular items for women.

Beauty Tips - Aromatherapy Comes In Different Forms
Debrah Dragon asked:
Aroma therapy is based upon the principle that scents and smells trigger our body's immune system that strengthens it in order to combat illnesses. Originally practiced in India this relatively new from of treatment in the west is fast gaining popularity because of its ease and ecstasy it provides along with treating illnesses. It in principle defeats the age old saying of "no pain no gain", because it is absolutely painless and rater the reverse.
Have you ever felt calmed by a sweet aroma, or had a nice smell send you on a walk down memory lane? Then you've already experienced some of the benefits of aromatherapy. Essential oils can be a powerful weapon in the battle for your physical and psychological well-being. And you don't have to get an expensive massage at a spa to enjoy them. Used properly, aromatherapy can help sooth your mind as well as your body, putting you on your way to a happier, healthier lifestyle, in the comfort of your own home.
Aromatherapy can be practiced in a number of ways. One of the simplest and most convenient ways to enjoy the benefits of aromatherapy is through the use of aromatherapy candles or diffusers.

Beauty Tips - Care For The Skin Of Your Body
Debrah Dragon asked:
With our busy lives, it can be hard to find the time to give our bodies the attention they deserve. But if you don't find that time, it shows, and you feel it. Healthy bodies look better, and they feel better. So take the time to take care of yourself, and feel great about doing it. Bear in mind that it is well worth the extra effort.
First and foremost, keep it clean! There is nothing more fundamental to your body's overall health than basic hygiene. Everyone should bathe thoroughly every day, without neglecting any part-no pinky is too small, no toe is too far away for the scrub-brush. Not only is a good scrub sanitary, but it helps keep your skin glowing by removing grime and dead skin cells to reveal the fresh, beautiful skin below. And a relaxing bath or shower is good for your mental health. Use your bathing time as personal mental-health time, letting yourself unwind a little bit.
Frankly, just bathing just does not contribute a big deal to personal hygiene. It is when you use the proper products, such as a bubble bath or a body scrub that you are truly cleaning your body. However it is easy to overlook this fact, because most people consider just using a bar of ordinary soap and water to be hygienic. This may have been true in the dark ages, but it does not certainly work now.
Stress may be psychological, but it has physical manifestations that show big time- blemishes and cold sores can be brought on by un-managed stress, so clear your mind as well as your skin. To continue to protect that skin throughout the day, you should use a moisturizer to help fend off dry skin and itchiness, as well as to protect it against the cold and wind. And to truly do everything that you can to keep your skin healthy and young, your moisturizer should always have UV protection in it-dermatologists recommend a minimum of SPF 15. Nothing wrinkles and ages your skin like the sun, so protect yourself from it every day, even cloudy days, and in the winter, and use heavy sunscreen when you know you're going to be out in the sun for long periods. A tan may look nice for now, but you'll thank yourself for the sunscreen a few years down the road, when all of your tan friends look like an old leather handbags and your skin is still smooth as porcelain.
To maximize your body's overall health and look, life habits count big. You can put all the cucumbers on your eyes that you want, but if you aren't getting enough sleep at night, that puffiness and those under-eye bags aren't going anywhere. You can moisturize your skin, and use the best shampoos and conditioners, but if you aren't eating a healthy, vitamin-rich diet, it will show in your complexion and the shine of your hair. Pay attention to the basics. Get eight hours of sleep, plenty of exercise, and eat a well-balance diet from diverse sources, and you won't just feel incredible-you'll look fantastic!
Always remember that it is never too late to look better. With a proper diet and lots of relaxation you can actually begin to look younger. Don't forget to drink lots of water and remember that your body is your temple so take care of it the way you are supposed to.
