For a breath of ecstasy give all you have been, or could be.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Holiday Makeup

The holidays are special, so forget about matte eyeshadow when you go out! Younger women can experiment with shadows with frost, and mature women will look great going for shadows with a satiny finish. Avoid glitter, though ... that's a little too much!

Quote of the Day

Women / Women's Quote /

Two persons love in one another the future good which they aid one another to unfold.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Deep Conditioning

To help your conditioner do its job, wrap a hot towel around conditioned hair for a few minutes before washing it out. The heat gives a deep conditioning effect that you might not get otherwise.

Quote of the Day

Women / Women's Quote /

Doorways are sacred to women for we are the doorways of life and we must choose what comes in and what goes out.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Extra Sunscreen

If you're going out in the sun, don't forget to cover your scalp! Wearing a hat is the obvious solution, but you can also use sunscreen. Find a non-greasy, spray-on formula; lotions and creams will make your hair oily.

Quote of the Day

Women / Women's Quote /

Study the rules so that you won't beat yourself by not knowing something.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Help for Sensitive Gums

If your gums are very sensitive, rub a very small amount of aloe vera gel on, and let it sit for a few minutes before washing it off. Aloe vera strengthens gums, and it's especially good to use before using any bleaches or other whiteners on your teeth.

Quote of the Day

Women / Women's Quote /

The great thing about getting older is that you don't lose all the other ages you've been.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Hot Water

Whenever you can, try to drink a mug of hot (not boiling!) water first thing in the morning. This helps clear out impurities in your body, especially your skin.

Quote of the Day

Women / Women's Quote /

Nature never repeats herself, and the possibilities of one human soul will never be found in another.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Applying Foundation

Having trouble with your foundation? You might not be spreading it out enough. When you dot it on your face, do so in as many places as possible -- not just four or five. If at all possible, use a cosmetic brush instead of your fingers -- this spreads out the foundation even more, and you'll end up using less.

Quote of the Day

Women / Women's Quote /

Taste has no system and no proofs.

Health and Beauty Tip -- The Perfect Lipstick

Have a color you like, but it's a little too bright? Add a tiny bit of concealer, either before or while you apply the lipstick. This will tone it down a bit, and it's much more complementary to the rest of your makeup.

Quote of the Day

Women / Women's Quote /

How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Eyebrow Care

If you're not in the habit of plucking your eyebrows, be sure to give them extra attention. Use a clean toothbrush to brush eyebrows and keep them looking neat. Even if you do pluck your eyebrows, it's a good idea to do this; the little bit of extra effort can really improve your overall appearance!

Quote of the Day

Women / Women's Quote /

Happiness is a sort of atmosphere you can live in sometimes when you're lucky. Joy is a light that fills you with hope and faith and love.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Lock in Moisture

Make sure you use lotion right after you shower -- most moisture is lost withing two hours of bathing, so use a water-based moisturizer as soon as possible afterwards.

Quote of the Day

Women / Women's Quote /

No matter what accomplishments you make, somebody helped you.

Health and Beauty Tip -- De-Tangle Your Hair

If you wake up with a "rat's nest," try switching to a silk pillowcase. This keeps your hair from staying in one place all night and tangling up.
