Girls Night Out
Pump it0 Dump it0      Posted on: 29-Sep-2009

Girls Night Out, or should l now say Girls Night In!

Before, a long, long time ago (because l am a dinosaur now, lol), a Girls Night Out was an all nighter, a group of us girls would get all dressed up, go out for dinner then dancing, followed by breakfast and then off home to sleep....at about 7 am! Now a group of us girls catch up for a Girls Night IN! We talk about how we actually stayed up until 7 am and all the fun we had without sleeping because now we seem to have to go to bed by 11 pm and that's a late night for all of us. I am sure we all reminisce about how it used to be........But this is how we party now. Once a month, we go over to a girlfriend's house for a good gossip session while our kids all play together. We used to think that we had the whole world at out finger tips but now we seem to always run out of time, so we do this night especially for us where we eat what we like....for me that's pizza with the lot and chips and chocolate and biscuits....the list goes on and on. But we have a great time with no expectations. We just like to hang out at home and talk about things, we remember when we were single and our mom's used to ask us when we where going to settle down, ect. Just take a look this great webisode that shows the difference between what a mom thinks what a friend would say. So true don't you think?

Skirts in fashion
Pump it0 Dump it0      Posted on: 28-Sep-2009

In women wardrobe  skirts are one of the favorites for girls of all age. Whether its formal or a party skirts always work great. There are many types and shapes of skirts available in market however you have to decide what will suit your figure. Let's explore some great fashion skirts and see if you can find one that is right for you!

High waist skirts

High waist skirts: One style that's been seen on many runways together with a great looking fashion belt. You could always use this belt as an eye catching point, so why not experiment.

Black bubble skirts: A bubble skirt is a skirt with a poof on the bottom, can either look cute and hip or totally unfashionable, depending on how you wear it and your body type (you know what l am saying you have seen someone where these skirts do not look good at all, lol). A wide waist band keeps your butt from looking to big and  a chunky will also look great.

ANR Recovery Complex Review after 10 days of use
Pump it1 Dump it0      Posted on: 23-Sep-2009

Well as you all know l was asked to review Estée Lauders new Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Recovery Complex. I have used it at night after cleansing my skin and before my moisturiser and l can tell you with 100% confidence it WORKS!  The press release for this new formulation says that the "Night Repair was an innovative, award-winning formula that targeted damaged skin and helped repair its appearance during the restorative hours of sleep." So, the many hours these scientist have worked put in, have payed off on me and l am sure on many other beautiful women out there. l had a developing (emphasis of the word HAD) frown lines that were constantly present and now l can happily say they have gone, hooray! This complex is Dermatologist-tested (meaning that this product is less likely to cause any negative reactions), Ophthalmologist-tested (that is the area near the eyes), Non-Comedogenic (does not contain ingredients proven to cause pore blockages), Fragrance Free, and can be used on All Skin Types. How many serums or creams do you know have all those things going for them? So great woman of this world, if there is only one cream you can buy this year l urge you to buy the Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Recovery Complex from Estée Lauder, you will love me for it, for years to come. Remember to tell all your girlfriends about it to!

I am a 33 year old woman who has tried everything, so l was a bit sceptical when asked to try the Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Recovery Complex from Estee Lauder, but the results speak for themselves. Here is what l found, the Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Recovery Complex is now in a plastic bottle which is great for travelling, goes on well and is a light formula. You put it on your face and neck at night (yes keep in mind your neck, which is important, as this also shows your age). It goes on clean skin then you moisturise according to your skin type, but remember a little goes a long way! I felt great the minute l put it on, but it took a husband a couple of days to comment on it (of course typical male, lol). He said, What have you done? You look different...you look great. I have now been using ANR for a few days, so l wonder what is going to happen in a few more days? I will keep you posted!

Dandruff oops!
Pump it0 Dump it0      Posted on: 23-Aug-2009

Everyone loves their hair and dandruff is something that spoils your hair's health and even embarrasses you in public. Dandruff is a harmless but chronic condition that occurs due to dry or greasy scalp and in the hair.  Dandruff can be caused by a number of things, including dry skin; sensitivity to hair products; and skin conditions. The overgrowth of yeast can also cause dandruff. It can be controlled with the proper treatment.

Dandruff oops!

Reasons behind the dandruff include:

  • Poor diet
  • Excessive tension and stress
  • Infected scalp
  • Hormonal imbalances
  • Dry weather
  • Too much use of different hair cosmetics

Preventive measures:

  • Shampoo hair twice a week for dry hair and do not use ordinary soap to wash hair.
  • For more severe dandruff, you should use shampoos containing anti-yeast medications like selenium sulfide, ketoconazole, climbazole etc.
  • After bath towel off the excess water and let the hair dry naturally, that is without blow drying.
  • Never use your fingernails, this will scratch the scalp and cause more flaking.
  • Do not wash your hair in hot water, use lukewarm water.
  • Avoid hair spray, gel, and other cosmetic hair products.
  • Eat well balanced food; do not consume alcohol, fried, spicy, fast food. Balanced intake of Vitamin A, E and B complex is important for long and healthy hair.
  • Get 7-8 hours good sleep.
  • Exercise regularly.

Pump it0 Dump it0      Posted on: 16-Aug-2009

It's not always required to follow the standard fashion tips that say you should buy this particular expensive cream to get results. (Yes l know we all have a box full of them, I know l will use them some day, lol) There are many crazy but wonderful beauty tips that actually work and they are inexpensive. Today I have compiled a list of beauty tips that are used by me and my friends. I hope they help!
  • Hair- it has a great role in changing our appearance and most of us have at some stage a problem of dry hair. The main reason of dry hair is because we clean our hair every day, robbing it of essential natural hair oils it needs to be healthy and strong! So to start getting healthy hair again, avoid washing it every day. I like to shampoo my hair as soon as l get into the shower and then leave the conditioner in while l do the "other" things. Also, once a week l swear by leaving olive oil in my hair for at least one hour to give it back some life, once you try it, you too will do it.
  • Eyebrows- Help! Sometimes the eyebrows have some white things that look like dandruff. Get rid of it by applying an eye cream over the brows to help keep them hydrated.
  • Lips- Start pouting! To keep lips silky, use a washcloth or wet toothbrush to gently buff your lips every other day, it works winders.
  • Black head- Yuck! Removing blackheads one of my girlfriends told me can easily be done by rubbing your skin with baking soda while in the shower, so why not try ir what have you got to loose?
  • Pimples anyone? Apply toothpaste, it works for me and yes, l still do it (at the age of 30, and so does my mom)

 

And remember beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so what you see with your magnifying glass others may not. But there is never any harm in trying to look your best.

Check out this great webisode, that shows the difference between a man and a woman's beauty routine, very true don't you think?

Aging
Pump it2 Dump it0      Posted on: 21-Jul-2009

Oh, you don't look that old! Now, l have heard that saying before, but l do not know whether to take it as a compliment or not. I just say thanks! We know that with growing age skin becomes less well hydrated and thinner, this result in the change of skin texture, but aging doesn't mean that you stop living. Let's find out some great ways to cope up with the problems of aging.

Three things that work great in controlling aging effects are Acai Berries or Acai berry juice. They are full of antioxidants that are great at combating the damage that the sun does to our skin and also other effects of aging. Antioxidants are great at keeping your skin looking younger and combating free radicals, which are a main cause of aging, as they damage the cells of the skin. Acai berries are also a good source of essential fatty acids, and these help the body to renew cells and produce more of them. Look out for them in your local health food stores. Spirulina. This has a range of benefits for everyone, and one is as an anti-aging supplement, so make sure you include this one. Chlorella, this is another protein-rich algae and has many other beneficial nutrients too. It has an ideal combination of proteins and carbohydrates. Chlorella can also lower high blood pressure levels and reduces cholesterol, so it's a win-win situation there!

Sorry to say it, but there are things you can also be doing to help slow down the aging process and here they are! Eat properly, do not skip meals, this will not make you any skinnier on the contrary; it will hamper your efforts.  So eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables and drink plenty of water to keep you hydrated. Snacks we all need them, but why not snack on healthy ones that also taste good? Well, now you can.  MMM snacking on chips without feeling guilty, how good is that, l hear you say.  Sun Chips offer a great alternative, I love the SunChips 100 Calorie Packs, they are the perfect size for when you get that sudden attach of the munchies. Also make sure you exercise as much as you can, Get out and enjoy the fresh air, not only is it good for your skin, your body will thank-you too. Except the fact you are getting older, we all are. The sooner you see this, the better it is. Why not think, lets get older gracefully?  Dress your age ladies; don't follow the latest trends if they do not suit you. There is nothing worse then an oldie who wants to look young and fails, you know what l am talking about! There is also surgery you can have, but l think you should make do with the best you have, if you feel good you will look good. So why not grab your girlfriend, embrace your ages and have a great night on the town, being yourself? Have fun girls.

Get a celebrity look!
Pump it0 Dump it0      Posted on: 29-Jun-2009

Every girl dreams to look like beautiful celebrities like Angelina, Jennifer, Nicole and countless others. Trust me it's not impossible. A little knowledge of makeup and how to carry yourself can really give you the look of your favorite celebrity or at least make you feel like a star. Proper makeup can really create magic in your personality and make you feel good (well it does to me) Want to go for it? Let's check out some of tip.

  1. Look at a photo of a star: Look at her hair, clothes and make-up.  I sometimes wonder how Angelina for example can look good all the time. Most stars look great with just a simple T and jeans. But this is not the case for me! Oh no, no. I need to put more effort than that. I have to check not only if the clothes match but also my hair and make-up. But l like checking the stars to see if l can use any of their styles.
  2. Before you can look like a star, you need to feel like one, so remember to look after your skin. Cleanse, tone and moisturize everyday. (MMM now that l am writing this, l do admit to myself, l do not tone but l know l should, and so should you!)
  3. I love to moisturize my whole body with a nice smelling cream each night if l can, l feel "beautiful" when l go to bed.
  4. If God gave you great skin, good for you, but before l leave the house l need to put foundation on. Once that is done, l put on some make-up, especially mascara and lipstick with gloss. I think we should all do this, because if we think we look better, most of the times we do!
  5. Hair, now this is just as important too. What ever your preferred style, straight, curly, long, short, you know what suits you, so l say stick to it, if you feel comfortable them go for it. I have to at least straighten my fringe everyday. It makes me "feel" like a have done my hair, put some sort of effort!

 

These simple things if we follow them can make us look just as good your favorite celebrity, or at least think you are, good-luck! For more fun things check out www.awomansworld.com

Worried about an ingrown hair?
Pump it1 Dump it0      Posted on: 23-Jun-2009

An ingrown hair is a hair that curls back on itself and starts growing back into the follicle. This is a common problem for men and women. Ingrown hair is generally not a serious skin care problem, but it can be unsightly, painful and very bothersome.

ingrown hair

Causes:

  1. Skin suffering from lack of moisture
  2. Stiff beard hair
  3. Embedded oil in the hair follicles
  4. Dead skin cells in the pores and on the surface of the skin can cause ingrown hairs.
  5. Coarse curly hair growing in a curved hair follicle
  6. Improper shaving technique with a blade such as too close a shave
  7. Hair removal methods such as shaving, waxing, tweezing, electrolysis, often irritate the hair follicle.

Daffodils - the beauty of spring
Pump it0 Dump it0      Posted on: 23-Jun-2009

Daffodils, the symbol of friendship, are one of the most popular flowers exclusively due to their unmatched beauty. Narcissus is the Latin or botanical name for the commonly called daffodils. Daffodils often bloom in clusters and all Daffodils have a corona in the center that looks like a trumpet, and a ring of petals all around. Daffodils are constantly recurring flowers with at least 50 species and many hybrids! Daffodils often grow in large clusters, covering lawns and even entire hillsides with yellow. The garden Daffodil's ancestors come from the states around the Mediterranean Sea, such as Spain and Portugal, and the Middle East, such as Turkey.

Shape your eyebrows according to your face
Pump it0 Dump it0      Posted on: 20-Jun-2009

Well-shaped, beautifully groomed eyebrows can make you look attractive and give recognition to your face. A perfect eyebrow starts from the inner corner of the eye, arches just beyond the outer curve of the iris and narrows down at the edge of the eye. Slight changes should be applied to suit the shape of individual faces and here is how!

Shape your eyebrows according to your face
  • Oval Face: Keep the brow line natural by tweezing just the stray hairs and in between the brows. Any natural shape of the eyebrows works well with an oval face as this is an ideal face shape. So if your favorite celebrity has an eyebrow shape that you love, then go for it, like actress Jennifer Aniston.

Shape your eyebrows according to your face
  • Round Face: For round faces choose high arched eyebrow shape by making your eyebrows more oval by arching the brow high and leaving the tapering part small. It gives a facelift and a youthful appearance.
  • Elongated Face: Tweeze the eyebrows flat for an elongated face by keeping the arch low. This opens the eyes horizontally to give the illusion of an oval face.

Botox and its effects
Pump it0 Dump it0      Posted on: 13-Apr-2009

With growing age everyone is worried about wrinkles and dream to look young. There are many cosmetic methods and treatment to minimize the wrinkles of the face and one of them is Botox. Botox is a purified form of botulinum toxin which is injected underneath skin to smooth lines by blocking nerve impulses that trigger wrinkle-causing muscle contractions. Though Botox is popular as a temporary wrinkle eraser, this toxin actually has many more uses than just smoothing skin.

clinton, with smooth skin

Botox has gained in popularity over the years for several reasons like:

  • It's less invasive than a face lift and the results are immediate.
  • With Botox, the swelling goes down within a day or two, and while a prick from the needle is visible immediately after having the Botox administered, most of the evidence is gone within twenty four hours.
  • Botox is much cheaper and quicker than a face lift.
  • Botox takes little time to administer.
  • Botox is also temporary, so if you don't like the changed look you can resume your normal appearance within three to six months.
  • It's painless.

Perfume facts
Pump it1 Dump it0      Posted on: 03-Apr-2009

Perfumes have been used by humans to improve their scent since early days. Perfume is made up of alcohol, water & perfume (fragrance) oil. Perfume comes from Latin word per fumum, which means "through smoke" (per means through, fumum means smoke).  The making of perfumes is known as perfumery. Fragrances are classed-and priced-by their alcohol content. The highest proportion of scent is found in true 'perfume' - anywhere from 25 to 40% is pure scent.

perfume
History: The Egyptians were the first to incorporate perfume into their culture, and the first to place perfume into glass bottles. Further refining and development was done by Romans and Arabs. Up to some extent, Eastern Asia had also supported perfumes and perfumery. At that period no chemicals were used for perfumery. In the beginning, the fragrances were based on incense and essential oils of aromatic plants. History is evident that the modernization of perfumery began with the ancient Islamic culture. During that time the spices and herbs were used in perfumery. Steam distillation process was used to extract the fragrance from the aromatic flowers and plants.
