Health and Beauty Tip -- Healthy Eating for Hair

Health and Beauty Tip -- Treating Oily Skin

Health and Beauty Tip -- Keep Hair from Breaking

Never use a rubber band as a tie-back -- it can break or split hair. Instead, keep fabric-covered elastic bands or scrunchies handy. Brushing too hard when it's wet can also break hair, so towel-dry it lightly first, then use a wide-toothed comb to detangle before pulling out the brush.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Avoid Water-Damaged Nails

Sometimes you just forget to wear rubber gloves when you clean around the house. Don't! Cleaning agents can be very harsh on hands, and especially nails. Your nails actually swell up a bit when exposed to water for long periods of time, and then shrink up when they dry. This combined with harsh cleaning agents can lead to brittle nails.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Eyebrows

Your eyebrows add strength and definition to your face -- so make sure to look after them! Use slant-edge tweezers when plucking, and work in the direction of the growth. When applying make-up, define your eyebrows with a shade as close to your natural hair color as possible. And if they still need neatening, use hair gel!

There's a woman at the beginning of all great things.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Speed up Your Metabolism

Increasing your metabolism helps you burn fat more quickly. Believe it or not, carbs actually help on a diet because they give your body the energy it needs to burn off calories. Don't skip breakfast, and when you sit down to eat, opt for hot meals to speed up your metabolism while you eat. And, of course, make sure you get plenty of exercise...Read more
