One has to grow up with good talk in order to form the habit of it.

Is your nail polish too thick to apply well, but not thick enough to throw out? Add a very small amount of nail polish thinner to make it last.

It is terribly amusing how many different climates of feelings one can go through in one day.

If you have trouble with your eyeliner or lip pencils breaking when you sharpen them, place them in the freezer for 10 minutes. This makes them slightly harder, and thus easier to sharpen.

Resolve to take fate by the throat and shake a living out of her.

Want a manicured look, but don't have time? File your nails into a square shape, buff them, then apply a coat of clear polish. Rub cuticle oil around the edge of the nail, then moisturize your whole hand. You'll have a polished look in less than 15 minutes!

A sure way to lose happiness, I found, is to want it at the expense of everything else.

For a healthy glow, use gel or cream blushes instead of powder in a rosy pink. These are more transparent and blend smoothly. Apply it to the apples of your cheeks and blend up towards the eyes for a natural look.

I believe the second half of one's life is meant to be better than the first half. The first half is finding out how you do it. And the second half is enjoying it.

Tired of your mascara flaking off or smudging? Apply mascara only to your top lashes, then run an eyelash brush through to separate the lashes and avoid clumping and build-up.

We will be victorious if we have not forgotten how to learn.

Remember, cosmetics have expiration dates! Throw out mascara every three months, powder eye shadow every nine to 18, and cream eye shadow every six to 12. This will ensure quality make-up jobs and prevent eye infections.

The most practical thing in the world is common sense and common humanity.

It's not difficult to a salon-style blowout on your own -- it just takes a little extra time. Using a round or paddle brush, separate out sections of wet hair one at a time and dry them individually. It takes a little time to focus on each section, but it's worth it!

The only difference between a rut and a grave is their dimensions.

Hair sets best while it's cooling, and not when it's still hot from curing irons or blow dryers. Instead of applying hairspray right after drying or curling your hair, wait until it has cooled to hold the style longer.

You have to count on living every single day in a way you believe will make you feel good about your life - so that if it were over tomorrow, you'd be content with yourself.

To avoid razor burn before shaving, use your favorite moisturizer beforehand. This holds moisture on the leg longer and makes it easier to shave.

Silent Gratitude isn't very much use to anyone.

Keep a jar or tube of hand cream on your desk at work and in your car. This will keep it available to you wherever you go, so you can apply it throughout the day to keep your hands from getting too dry.
