Puffy Eyes & Cucumber

Have you the sparkle in your eyes, the sparkle that denotes a happy and healthy you. Taking care of the eyes is simple and easy. Looking after your peepers will help prevent dark circles and puffiness from occurring. Before trying unfamiliar beauty products onto the skin - you must always ask your doctor for advice first.

Home made remedy that is very affective for clearing up puffy eyes includes cucumber and potato. Reduce puffy eyes with this recipe below.

Take a raw potato or cucumber
Grate small
Blend to a fine consistency in a blender
Strain the excess juice till there is only the pulp mash left.
Make a cup of tulsi tea
Mix the tea and the pulp well
Freeze to make ice cubes.
Use the cubes to dab puffy eyes.
Rinse round the eyelids gently and pat dry, becareful because the skin is very sensitive around this area.

Eye massage is very good to help reduce puffiness. Puffiness of the eyes mainly occurs due to accumulation of fluids. Using your finger gently press along the eyebrow and around the eye socket. This stimulates the lymphatic system and helps drain excess fluid. Another little advice using a kitchen utensil to help is, with the aid of a metal tablespoon. (Not a ladle) Take a rounded spoon and place it in the fridge to cool. When cold enough place the rounded part of the spoon against your eyes. This is also an affective method to reduce puffiness
and giving your eyes that fresh healthy appearance.

Fashion - Not Your Style.

What is it about fashion that people all over the world just love to have. Okay it is nice to have the latest in trendy gear i.e. dress shoes and jewelery, but if can not afford them - then why go in debt to wear what millions of others are wearing. Designers when creating a new look never had you in mind at the time of creation - so how can they possibly know what will suit. It will pay to bear this in mind before splashing out on expensive designer gear.

You need to make your own style to suit, all you need is to be able to use a needle and cotton or have afriend that can if you lack in this department. Set your own trend and who knows you may become unindated with not only people who want to know where you got your dress - or remarks where you were approached to remove it because you looked lovely wearing it.

Beckham v Monroe

I was asked the other day as to what I thought about Victoria Beckham being a fashion icon, and to be honest I couldn`t answer because we as individuals have our own opinion as to what we see as nice beautiful glamorous etc. If this was not the case then there is a great possibilty we would all be in attracted to the same man or woman, wearing the same clothes and have a vase of the same spring flowers gracing the dresser top.

Victoria Beckham in my eye does wear beautiful clothes, but she does have the money to wear all these nice things too. But if she is to be judged on beauty by shape and form then she is no match for the hour glass figure of Marilyn Monroe.

Beautiful Old Advice

For all women wanting to look their best i.e. beautiful, there are many methods and ways for you to try out and implement to achieve beauty naturally, however before using any unfamiliar beauty products on the skin or medication taken orally consult your doctor first.
Some beauty tips below

1 CHAPPED LIPS

Chapped lips often look dry, red and feel painful. They crack, split and bleed. Chapped lips happen if our skin has lost its moisture retention capacity. Never share your lipstick with others if you have this condition.
This home remedy for chapped lips will include coconut water, egg yolk and honey. Mix all the ingredients together and drink it for at least once a day and wait for the result.

2 LIGHTEN UP THE FACE

In order to lighten your face, you can use natural treatments to make it look better. This tip is simple, easy and effective. Ingredients include grated carrot, egg yolk and lime. Results are almost instant. Mix well all the ingredients (grated carrot, egg yolk and lime). And then, apply to the face. Leave it to dry for few minutes. Rinse off with water without using any facial cleanser.
Aside from the face the hands are also very important to be maintained in a manner that they appear just as beautiful as other parts of the body. Advice on beautiful hands below.

3 HEALTHY NAILS IN GENERAL

Use nail polish remover with caution. It can dry the nails and your cuticles. Avoid daily repair of nail enamel.
Watch out for signs of nail infection, including redness, pain or pus. The nail plates are porous and dry quickly. Nail polishes waterproof the nails and cause the skin under them to stay wet longer. This makes them more open to infection.
Some nail products can cause rashes on the fingers since buffing or filing can cause small particles to enter the air. Some of the more damaging products are in nail hardeners.
Avoid applying artificial nails over your own because they can destroy the underlying nail. The chemicals and glue used are dangerous to the body, and are readily absorbed through the damaged nail and nail bed. The use of artificial nails has been known to contribute to the development of fungal infection of the fingernails.
Have a beautiful day
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder – Let the beholder be YOU

Shakira Grace and Beauty

Why do so many women look up to others in following their traits in fashion or with the cosmetics they wear. In some cases this is okay if the icon of your choice has taste, however in saying that what may be ideal for one person skin type may not be for the other, meaning, cosmetic shades and colours. Whether it is Brittany Spears or Kylie Minogue – personal preference will prevail in the make up department..

What is the connection between Shakira and Barcelona, well she has teamed up with Barcelona-based cosmetics company Puig to produce a signature line of fragrances and beauty products. This product should sell well if Shakira is your celebrity choice to follow in the footsteps of. The collaboration with Puig Beauty & Fashion Group will include the development of beauty, fragrances and other personal care products.

Shakira is with out doubt a very beautiful woman in every shape and form; however not all may agree. In Arabic the name Shakira means “woman full of grace”, Shakira is also the creator of the Barefoot Foundation, dedicated to the improvement of educational and social conditions for families and children in her home country. This alone makes this woman an icon in her own right.
