Health and Beauty Tip -- Static-Free Hair

Problems with static when you brush your hair? Take a tiny bit of lotion and run it through your hair ... but not at the roots. This will make it much more manageable and keep the static away.

Quote of the Day

Women / Women's Quote /

Time is a cruel thief to rob us of our former selves. We lose as much to life as we do to death.

Health and Beauty Tip -- High Arcs

If the arc of your eyebrows isn't as high as you'd like, try putting some white or light-colored eyeshadow just underneath, on the browbone. This will make your eyes stand out, and give the illusion of a higher arc.

Quote of the Day

Women / Women's Quote /

You can have anything you want if you want it desperately enough. You must want it with an inner exuberance that erupts through the skin and joins the energy that created the world.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Eyebrow Gel

Instead of using gel or mascara on your eyelashes, try a little petroleum jelly. This won't get clumpy as the day goes on.

Quote of the Day

Women / Women's Quote /

Some people say that cats are sneaky, evil, and cruel. True, and they have many other fine qualities as well.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Tinted Moisturizer

Mix a little of your favorite face powder with your favorite moisturizer. It will give your skin just a touch of color, and is far less expensive than commercial tinted moisturizers. If you want SPF protection, mix some powder with sunscreen.

Quote of the Day

Women / Women's Quote /

In university they don't tell you that the greater part of the law is learning to tolerate fools.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Avoid Chapped Lips

Put an old toothbrush to good use. Before you go to bed, rub your lips with a toothbrush to slough off dead skin. It's best to do this before bed -- no more waking up with dry, chapped lips!

Quote of the Day

Women / Women's Quote /

If we can connect in some tiny way with a human that doesn't agree with us, then maybe we won't blow up the planet.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Ice Blue Eyeshadow

There are very few colors that work on anyone; ice blue is one of them. This complements nearly any eye and skin color without exception, so don't be afraid to try it! Just make sure you don't overdo it -- some people look better with a little, some with more.

Quote of the Day

Women / Women's Quote /

You've got to make a conscious choice every day to shed the old -- whatever 'the old' means for you.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Ease Pain When Plucking

Many people say to put ice on your eyebrows before plucking ... but this actually tightens pores and makes plucking more painful. Do the opposite and put a warm washcloth on your forehead first to open pores. Use ice afterwards to soothe any pain.

Quote of the Day

Women / Women's Quote /

Half of the American people have never read a newspaper. Half never voted for President. One hopes it is the same half.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Plucking and Shaping Eyebrows

Make sure not to lose the curve of your eyebrows when plucking. A good way to do this is to pluck from underneath on the outer arch, and from above on the inner arch.

Quote of the Day

Women / Women's Quote /

I have enjoyed greatly the second blooming... suddenly you find -- at the age of 50, say -- that a whole new life has opened before you.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Quick Face Powder Fix

In a pinch, you can use corn starch as face powder. Don't use too much, though -- it can tend to make you look pale.

Quote of the Day

Women / Women's Quote /

Each has his past shut in him like the leaves of a book known to him by heart and his friends can only read the title.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Don't Leave Makeup On

After a long day, you may not want to go to the trouble of removing all your makeup. If you're consistently leaving it on at bedtime, though, you'll be more prone to breakouts and clogged pores. If you simply don't have time, keep some cleansing wipes by your bed. A quick clean is better than none at all.

Quote of the Day

Women / Women's Quote /

You have to recognize when the right place and the right time fuse and take advantage of that opportunity. There are plenty of opportunities out there. You can't sit back and wait.
