HOMEMADE BEAUTY TIPS

Hey you guys. MERRY CHRISTMAS! How was your Christmas? Hope you had a great day. Mine was not too nice. I couldn’t go anywhere as I woke up with a terrible stomachache and had diarrhea. I actually thought I was going to be hospitalized but thank God for his mercies, I am better now.

To think I had planned to have a wonderful day but I guess man proposes, God disposes (this means that you might plan a whole lot of things but if God doesn’t agree with it, you are just planning in vain). Sorry, I didn’t mean to get too spiritual or philosophical but I was just thinking of the things that happened.

Now back to the business of looking and feeling good. I have always wondered what people in ancient times did to make their skin glow and how they applied make-up (if they did). I came across an article that said Queen Cleopatra used to apply milk and honey on her skin (or is it she used to bathe in it? I am not too sure). The point I am trying to make is that if people like Queen Cleopatra and Esther of Bible times used natural and homemade remedies for their beautiful skin what prevents us from doing so too.

I saw this article talking about natural beauty tips that I know you would love. Enjoy reading it, see you at the end.

Follow Homemade Beauty Tips – For Beauty Is In Nature's Grips
By David Maillie

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. Healthy lifestyle and homemade beauty tips are mostly based on the refreshing, detoxifying effects of natural and herbal products with the former fortifying the system’s internal strength and the later protecting outwardly.
Homemade beauty tips, as such, are based on judicial choice of herbal ingredients for external skin care. Some home-based natural skin care tips would be as follows:

• Buttermilk/cream and yogurt make excellent skin cleansers.
• After-bath application of almond oil is undoubtedly a great treat for the skin – the suppleness and glow it brings to the skin is unmatched by even the very best of moisturizers.
• Regular application of honey or yogurt makes the skin soft and has a gentle bleaching effect.
• Sea salt/sugar mixed with olive oil works as an extraordinary at-home body exfoliation preparation.
• Different natural and herbal products like Aloe Vera, Basil, Chamomile, Lavender, Marshmallow, Neem, Oatmeal, Sandalwood, Tea tree oil, Turmeric, Witch Hazel, etc. used as facial packs often help to dispose dead cells and impurities lodged in the skin to unclog pores. Side by side playing the roles of cleansers, the natural produces and elements strike water-oil balance of the skin.

If you find it too troublesome to go for natural skin treatments, the safest choice will be the TCA peels. The ready-to-be-used medically approved TCA peels have an answer for almost all skin problems – right from acnes to wrinkles and skin pigmentations to dryness. With long lasting effects, TCA peels give back the skin its natural healthfulness. With no harmful side effects (nearing the gentleness of homemade beauty tips), TCA peels can be safely used for teen-age skin problems.

Two is undoubtedly ‘company’ but three is not always ‘crowd’. TCA peels, balanced diets and a few homemade beauty tips make enviable company when it comes to revitalizing the skin. Therefore, surrender to the cares of the threesome and be the proud possessor of a youthful skin and look!

Hope you loved the article and have resolved to follow these tips. I know they would do you a lot of good.

I have to go. Hope I would be able to see you soon.
Remain beautifully blessed,
Your diva, Bim nubi.

P.S: I recently saw this quote on a guy’s shirt. I found it amusing so I decided to share it with you. Here goes: I am so broke I can’t even pay attention. Hope you got the humor in it.

4 TOP NATURAL BEAUTY TIPS

Nowadays people are so concerned with their outer beauty and do all that is possible (mostly surgical) so that they can look extremely good. However most of the surgical procedures have not only permanent bad aftereffects sometimes they might even help a person finally say goodbye to those living on this beautiful earth (in other words they might die).

Well it is comforting to know that you don’t have to go through such expensive and life threatening. I found this article on the net talking about the 4 top natural beauty tips and decided to publish it. If you have being following this blog, you will notice that I have actually talked about these tips before. However sometimes we need some things to be practically drummed into our heads before we act on it, hence my decision to publish it.

Hope you enjoy reading it and follow the advice. See you at the other end.

4 TOP NATURAL BEAUTY TIPS
by Andrea Taylor

Women all over the world spend millions of dollars on gels, creams, powders, and lotions all in the attempt to maintain or enhance their skin and beauty. Beauty is a universal theme that has been around since the beginning of time and all civilizations have had a natural beauty tip or two. Modern western cultures have taken the idea of beauty to extreme by resorting to plastic surgery, liposuction, injections, and other medically invasive treatments to gain a sense of enhanced beauty. There is no need to spend thousands dollars or resort to surgery, our 4 top natural beauty tips are freely available in this article for everyone.

First, natural beauty tip is to drink enough water every day. Drinking eight to ten glasses of water will solve many problems that you may be purchasing creams for. Drinking enough water will hydrate your skin and rid your body of the toxins and chemicals that are damaging your skin and hair. Flush the toxins out and hydrate your body with at least eight glasses and your beauty regime will improve greatly.

The second natural beauty tip is to eat fruits and vegetables daily. Fruits and vegetables contain the vitamins and minerals our body needs. When our bodies are fueled with the necessary vitamins and minerals many skin and hair problems disappear. Also, many fruits and vegetables such as carrot, oranges, cucumbers, and apples are known to be good rejuvenators for skin, hair, and nails.

Regular exercise is the third natural beauty tip that everyone should know. Regular exercise pumps oxygen to our cells, which in conjunction with water, helps to rid our bodies of those nasty toxins. Exercise does not need to be hours in the gym a walk around the block on a consistent basis will do wonders for your skin and body.

Exercise also helps our bodies become more adept at digesting food which will allow the vitamin and minerals from the fruits and vegetables be absorbed into our bodies easier. Regular exercise also helps increase your energy level and sometimes can lift your mood. When you are happy and awake, you can look younger and feel younger. Isn't that what all the beauty products people buy are for? To create a younger you!

Finally and most importantly, do not discount the power of a positive attitude toward your beauty regime as well. Happy people are considered more beautiful in western society and having a positive attitude is the fourth natural beauty tip. Having a good attitude has been proven to lengthen your life span and boost your immune system, when we feel good we look good as well.

Natural beauty tips are really everywhere. There is no need to resort to a thousand dollar an ounce cream to achieve the same results you can get from eating right and exercise. Beauty really starts from within and following our 4 natural beauty tips can save you money.

Well I expect that you would decide to follow the tips, especially the one of having a positive attitude to life. Remember you are beautiful, you are uniquely created so don’t let anyone tell you otherwise and make you feel otherwise.
I usually say that no one can make you feel bad without you giving them permission to do so.

I think that is enough for this week. Hope to see you next week (or hopefully on Monday).
Remain beautifully blessed,
Your diva, Bim nubi.

APPLY YOUR EYESHADOW PROPERLY

Here are some eyeshadow application tips. Follow them accurately and have beautiful eyes.

Here they are:
1. Select a light color base using a brush; sweep it across your entire eye lid, from brow to lash line.
2. To apply eyeshadow use a long brush. Always watch out for dark colors because they can end up looking theatrical. You can however blend your dark colors with light colors to either make your eyes look smaller or wider.
3. Use a medium toned shade to cover your lower lids.
4. Blend eyeshadow by stroking the lid gently with an eyeshadow brush. Never use your fingers you could wipe off the shadow entirely.
5. Lighter shadows help the eyes look bigger while darker shades make them look smaller. For bigger eyes, sweep a light shade over the lid and darker shade on the outer corner of the lid and the crease.
6. Outline the eyes using the eyeliner on the outer side of the upper and lower lids while tapering on the outside to elongate it.

Hope you try these tips and actually get the glamorous results that it is supposed to produce.

GOOD NEWS, BAD NEWS

Hi you guys. I have got good news (at least it is for me) but bad news for you guys. The news is that I have a job. I finally found one after about a month of searching and rejections from various places. I am supposed to resume there this week.

The bad news is that I may not be able to post as much as I used to do but I will try to post regularly. I think that is all for my job situation.

I have an article that I saw in a mini-mag while trying to put together an article on healthy living and decided to let you know about it.

It is called “6 things you should know about the black skin” (It was actually 7 things but I did not agree with one point so I decided to omit it). Even if you do not have black skin, I am positive that you would learn one or two things that would help you tremendously. Here goes:

1. Contrary to popular belief, black people need sun screen lotions/creams because solar rays damage the skin causing premature aging and darkening of the skin.

2. Regular resurfacing of the skin with chemical peels, microdermabrasion and alpha hydroxyl products will remove the complexion and eliminate the need for bleaching/toning creams.

3. It takes at least three months to notice any improvement in the skin. Persevere with any new skin treatment/regimen.

4. The black skin is tougher than those of other races but blacks still have to take care of their skin or they might may for it later. So cleanse, tone, moisturize daily, get regular facials and use good quality skin care products.

5. Topical Vitamin C is a must (i.e. blacks should use it). The powder form to be mixed daily with moisturizer or serum. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals that damage and age the skin. It also aids in repairing sun damage and keeping the complexion bright.

6. Drink lots of water (at least two litres) everyday. It will do wonders for your skin.

Well, that is all for today guys. I gotta run. Hope I can do again soon.

HOW TO APPLY YOUR EYESHADOW

Hi guys. Lately I have been feeling green eyeshadow, so I got a few tips on green eyeshadow and how to make your eyes look spectacular.

Green is a versatile color that can be worn anytime, depending on the effect you want to achieve. Rich teals, light lemons, apple greens are some of the different types of green color available, so choose the one that suits your skin tone. Blending is the key and note that it may not match that green you plan to wear! Make sure to prime lids first to keep the color true and long lasting. Warm it up with browns, wines, plum on the lips and crease on the cheek.

APPLICATION TIP: You can create that peacock-hued lids by applying black liner to the upper lash line, top it with green shadow blending upward for a wash of color on the lid.

You can join the navy by using navy colored mascara. Navy mascara makes green shadow look turquoise, which is a highly flattering shade.

MAJOR TIP: Even if you go bare on lids, colored mascara offers a subtle way to accent eye color.

Remember that you might not get it right the first time (unless you are pretty good), so don’t give up. Try again and again; get your friends to let you know if the green shadow is great on you. If it is not, try another shade of green. It is important that you know that the essence of make-up is to make you radiant and beautiful and not to make you look like a clown. So always try the ‘less is more’ trick until you are very good.

Well that is all I have for you today. Hope you join me next time for another beauty or health tip.

Stay beautifully blessed, your girl, Bim nubi.

P.S: If you want to know how I got rid of my acne check previous postings on this blog and also check http://Acnespotfree.blogspot.com or http://Acnespotfree.wordpress.com. Hope you love it. Love to see you and get your comments on my postings. See ya.

EXPERIENCE THE MAGIC OF EYE SHADOW

Hi ya all. I sure am glad to be able to write today. Hope you enjoyed my health tips and actually practiced it. I know it might not be easy to adhere to but look at it from this point of view; you would eventually get a great body and a great skin. So STICK with it.

Today I have decided to talk about how to apply your eye shadow to give your eyes and face that glamorous (hey, remember fergie’s song)look.

Applying eye shadow is the most important part of your eye make-up because it can help to contour the eyes and add emphasis to them. The eyes are the most important focal point of the face, hence the eye make-up techniques and choice of colors for eye shadow should suit the shape and color of your eyes.

So here we go with the application tips, however before I start I just want to let you know about a fashion flaw concerning eye shadows. DO NOT apply the same color of eye shadow as your dress (i.e. your eye shadow color should compliment your dressing and not be the same color). So now that we are through with that, let’s get on with the show. Bring out your eye shadow kit and let’s see if the tips work.

APPLICATION TIPS
1. Select a light color base using a brush; sweep it across your entire lid, from brow to lash liner.

2. Use a long brush to apply eye shadow. Always watch out for dark colors because they can end up looking theatrical.

3. Use a medium toned shade to cover your lower lids.

4. Blend eye shadow by stroking the lid gently with an eye shadow brush. Never use your fingers; you could end up wiping off the entire eye shadow.

5. Lighter shadows help the eyes look bigger while darker shades make them look smaller. For bigger eyes, sweep a light shade over the lid and darker shade on the outer corner of the lid and the crease.

6. Outline the eyes using the eyeliner on the outer side of the upper and lower lids while tapering on the outside to elongate it.

Okay, girls that’s all. Hope the tips help you in achieving the look that you want.
I hope to bring you more tips on how to use your eye shadow maybe on how to combine colors. I don’t know yet, but you can find out by joining me next time.

It’s your girl, Bim nubi saying ‘Remain beautifully blessed’. Ciao.

P.P.S: I just want to use this medium to say Goodbye to Heath Ledger and offer my condolences to his family and friends. I know he is in a better place. I would also like to join in asking that he should be given an Oscar for his performance in the “Dark Knight”.

Good bye Heath, the world loves you but I guess God loves you more and wanted you with him. You won’t be forgotten.
