Health and Beauty Tip -- Hair Loss

If you're losing hair prematurely, see your doctor for a thyroid test. Hypothyroidism, which runs in families, can cause "shedding," even at a young age.

Quote of the Day

Women / Women's Quote /

A desire presupposes the possibility of action to achieve it; action presupposes a goal which is worth achieving.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Eyeliner on the Inside?

Should you line the inside rims of your eyes? That depends on whom you listen to. Many beauty experts claim that it's "in" now, but others say it makes your eyes look smaller. It might be better to listen to opthamologists, though -- who warn that lining your eyes this way carries a greater risk of infection.

Make the most of What you have, When you have it, Where you are.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Warming Up Eyeliner

Before using an eyeliner pencil, pinch the tip between your fingers for a few seconds to warm it up.

Quote of the Day

Women / Women's Quote /

Whenever I date a guy, I think, "Is this the man I want my children to spend their weekends with?"

Health and Beauty Tip -- Lipstick Color for Fuller-Looking Lips

For fuller-looking lips, avoid neutral shades -- go for reds. Don't be afraid to go a few shades darker, either.

Quote of the Day

Women / Women's Quote /

The hunger of love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Curling Iron on Curly Hair

If you have naturally-curly hair, you can emphasize it with a curling iron! Wrap about two inches of hair at a time around a medium or large-barrel curling iron, and use some styling mousse as well if you like. The natural curls will hold the wave.

Quote of the Day

Women / Women's Quote /

When you realize the value of all life, you dwell less on what is past and concentrate more on the preservation of the future.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Using Highlighters

Applying highlighters properly can both draw attention to your features and downplay those you don't like. Use a little over the eyes for a "wide-awake" look, or around the cheek for contours and to emphasize the cheekbones.

Quote of the Day

Women / Women's Quote /

You see a lot of smart guys with dumb women, but you hardly ever see a smart woman with a dumb guy.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Bad Breath from Coffee

Bad breath can be caused by a lot of things ... including, unfortunately for those of you who rely on it, coffee! If you find you have "coffee breath," switching to decaf won't help. Just try to cut back, or make sure to use breath-freshening products as often as possible.

So you washed your hair this morning, but it's already feeling oily again? Get out those oil-blotting strips you use on your face and give your scalp a quick once-over.

Quote of the Day

Women / Women's Quote /

My boyfriend and I broke up. He wanted to get married and I didn't want him to.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Mineral for Greasy Hair

If you have oily hair, use a shampoo that contains zinc. It's okay to condition if you feel you need it -- just don't use it on your roots and scalp.

Quote of the Day

Women / Women's Quote /

When I dare to be powerful -- to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Quick Cover for Bad Color

Don't have time to get rid of that bad dye job? In the meantime, draw attention away from the color with a wide headband that covers your roots -- getting your hair away from your face lessens the effect of bad color.

Quote of the Day

I have learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions and not on our circumstances.
