Health and Beauty Tip -- Applying Product

Are you applying hair products correctly? Just spraying or applying it on top doesn't do much for your hair. Get the most out of your spray or gel by saturating your hair with the product, then combing through using a wide-toothed comb so every strand is coated.

Quote of the Day

Women / Women's Quote /

When you are unhappy, is there anything more maddening than to be told that you should be contented with your lot?

Health and Beauty Tip -- Smooth Flyaways

For small, fine flyaways, don't layer on even more hairspray. Take a baby toothbrush, spray it with hairspray, and brush the flyaway hair gently into place.

Quote of the Day

Women / Women's Quote /

There are lots of ways of being miserable, but there's only one way of being comfortable, and that is to stop running round after happiness. If you make up your mind not to be happy there's no reason why you shouldn't have a fairly good time.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Touching up Gray Strands

Rather than doing a full dye job to cover a few gray hairs, buy a mascara wand and basic hair dye that matches your natural color. Use the wand instead of the brush that comes with the dye, and touch up the gray more quickly and with less mess than doing all your hair.

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 -- Using Body Scrub at Home

If you have a good body scrub you use at home, scrub towards your heart when you use it. Start at your feet and work up to your torso. When doing your arms, start at the fingertips and work up to your shoulders. Massage gently in circular motions to avoid scrubbing too hard.

This is not a novel to be tossed aside lightly. It should be thrown with great force.

Health and Beauty Tip -- 2-in-1 Shampoo

Is 2-in-1 shampoo really as good as they say? If you have normal, healthy hair, yes. But oily hair doesn't need extra conditioner, and dry hair needs even more conditioning than 2-in-1 shampoo offers. If you have dry hair, use regular separate shampoo and conditioner.

I don't visit my parents often because Delta Airlines won't wait in the yard while I run in.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Lather, Rinse, Repeat?

If you have short or thin hair, you don't really need a second wash. But if you have longer, thicker hair, you may want to follow the advice on the bottle.

Quote of the Day

Women / Women's Quote /

If the shoe fits, it's too expensive.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Different Shampoo

Using the same kind of shampoo over and over can cause buildup as your hair "gets used to it." Switching shampoos on a regular basis is helpful, but easy to forget. To make it easier to stick with it, buy a large pump bottle and layer up to four different shampoos in equal amounts until the bottle is full.

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 -- Drying Nail Polish

Nail polish actually takes an hour to dry completely! Even though it feels dry to the touch several minutes after you finish, make sure to keep your hands clear of anything that could smudge or chip your polish for approximately one hour afterwards.

Quote of the Day

Women / Women's Quote /

Man forgives woman anything save the wit to outwit him.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Would You Be a Good Blonde?

Can't decide whether to go blonde? If you were as a child, you have the right skin tone to pull it off now. If not, trust your stylist's judgment.

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 -- Add Volume on the Way to Work

Turn up the volume in your car. Use volumizing spray along your hairline in the morning, then wear sunglasses on your drive to work to hold your hair back. Take off the shades once you get to work and enjoy the results!

Imagination and fiction make up more than three quarters of our real life.
