Hi all! we're back again!! =)

And that means more late nights, more zits to combat. =( okies. i hear the groans.
Dont fret.. =)
This week, we'll feature some tips to beautiful skin, some facial masks, shopping hunts and also fruit juice that promises beautiful, radiant skin! =)
.............................................................................................................................................................

So you want beautiful skin that everyone adores? =) Here are some simple tips!

Everyone of us loves beautiful skin. Some may even go to the extent of spending hundreds to thousands of dollar just to get the smooth and radiant skin they desire but beautiful skin is actually all about eating good and not the more you spend, the prettier it looks.

Less water causes blotchy, dull skin & acne. So be reminded to drink enough water to keep skin healthy. That, of course is the basic.

Proteins are an important issue when skins are concerned. Proteins are needed for repair of body tissues thus when the skin has enough protein, it wont encountered problems like dull and dry skin and scalp. We get protein from meat (lean meat is good. ) , eggs, milk, etc. =)

Carbohydrate rich food like sugar can cause acne, poor circulation and even obesity. So instead of sugar, add more brown sugar or honey to your diet. Both of these help purify blood and cleanse body of toxins. Excess Carbohydrates are stored as fat and too much fats are undesired but remember that a little is needed for good circulation and supple skin.

Fibre is very important. Fibre rich foods promote radiant flossy skin and clear eyes. That is why mummies always rant on and on on how important vegetables are! EAT YOUR VEGGIES!

Thus, remember to think about your skin when you have your food as every little details about your diet can do wonder to your skin.

Its all in the diet ppl! Throw away those sugar now!! =D

...........................................................................................................................................

School's startin real soon.
Late night mugging, projects-rushing, and all.
And we all have to combat the common 'illness' - PUFFY-EYES! arrggg...

Puffy Eyes- Kn0w It All
Puffy eyes are one of the common problem everyone faces. Puffy eyes is nothing but trouble but hey, like they say, there is always a solution to everything thus puffy eyes is not as untreatable as some make it out to be.

What actually causes puffy eyes?
Puffy eyes can be resulted from a lots of factor like heredity and allergy reactions but the most common will be the changes in body fluid balance because of the hormone fluctuations. Night clubbers who have a drink too much for their body to take will also experience puffy eyes because of a hangover from alcohol.

Home-made remedies to put away the puffi-ness!
1. Apply cold eye cream by tapping it gently onto the skin so as to encourage excess fluid to flow away. Cream must be cold because the coldness helps reduce the puffi-ness.
2. Food like grated potatoes, strawberries and cucumber can help reduce puffy eyes by placing them under eyes.
3. Soak cottonwool with iced water or ice-cold milk and place the damp pads over eyes. Replace pad when it becomes warm and continue the procedure for 15 mins. This will also help in brightening your eye whites.
4.Excess fluid is when the body starts storing water when it becomes dehydrated so DRINK enough water will help.
5.Getting enough sleep is one ‘common sense’ way to reduce puffy eyes.

and yes! be sure to fight it off with these simple remedies k! we do want thse pretty peepers, dont we? =)
..............................................................................................................................................................

Accesssories are a big part of dressing right? So, bet u will agree to these tips. The right kinda accessories spunk up ur look, and compliments u. The bad? Dont even think about it.. =)

NECKLACES!!
For people with Swan neck.:
Lucky u!!! To play up with this asset, adorn yourself with delicate, detailed pieces or get funky with short chunky necklaces and stylish chokers.
AVOID! elongating your neck by steering clear of long, thin necklaces and chains.. THEY WILL ONLY ADD INCHES TO THE ALREADY LONG NECK!

For people with short and sweet neck:
Go for long chains and necklaces to lengthen it and spice up your outfit! Be bold to go for longer necklaces, but restrain from chunky one which will only serve to add bulk.
AVOID! chokers , unless u wanna appear neck-less. Avoid heavy detail as well..

Hope these will be useful! Acessories are real important! We'll do earring in the upcoming week! =)

We'd talked abt how to get healthy nails in the earlier entry.. Now, we teach u how to have perfectly french manicured talons without having to pay that extra buck! Just make sure u have the nail polish.. =P

STEP 1

It's essential to prepare your hands and nails before applying nail polish. First, exfoliate your hands by massaging them using a small amount of body scrub. Rinse with water and dry thoroughly. One of the main causes of chapped hands is not drying them properly after washing.

STEP 2

File your nails. If they are brittle or tend to split, keep them flat across the top with smooth, rounded edges. When filing, move in one direction, from outer corner to centre-sawing movements can damage the nail plate. Choose a nail file with a fine surface that glides over the nail.

STEP 3

Coat hands in a layer of sweet almond oil, to norish and soften, then wrap in a warm towel and relax for 15 minutes. Unwrap, and gently push back cuticles using a rubber hoof stick (available from most chemists). Never use cuticle clippers, as they can nick the skin. Rinse hands with warm water and dry thoroughly to remove any oil residue.

STEP 4

Apply one coat of base coat over your entire nail and allow a couple of minutes to dry. This will help strengthen the nail. Some products also level fine ridges and imperfections, leaving a smooth surface to apply polish. There's a wide range of base coats to choose from.

STEP 5

For a square look, paint a straight line across the tips; for a rounded appearance, follow the curve of the nail; and to get a pointed style, paint in from each side to the centre. Some manicure kits include sticky strips to use as a guide. when applying, lay your hand on a flat surface and keep the ball of your painting hand steady and keep the ball of your painting hand steady by resting it on the same surface. Leave to dry.

STEP 6

Finally, apply a coat of translucent shell-pink polish over the entire nail to seal the whitened tip and complete the look. Allow 10 minutes for it to dry. For extra shine and protection, apply a clear, glossy top coat.

Simple right? =)
Try it with different colours! Here's some ideas.

play with colours! glam it up! hot!

Hey! We're back again! =) With more! =D Beauty myths that we all have... (i committed a few.. =P), and of cos, as the weather sizzles up, we need those pretty swimwear. =) need a juice? we got it too. =) Also, check out those beauty tips before u don that pretty bikini yea? Read on ppl! =D

.................................................................................................................................................

Top ten beauty myths

1.Shaving your leg hairs make it grow in thicker
The amount of hair is determined genetically.

2.Drinking lots of water lead to beautiful, radiant skin.
Drinking water is good for health but drinking too much cause skin to bloat.

3.Split ends can be repaired.
The only way is to cut them and prevent them in the future with good hair care. Frequent conditioning will do our manes good.

4.Dry skin causes wrinkles.
Most wrinkles are caused by sun.

5.Acne and blemishes can be washed away.
Scrubbing too vigorously will increase oil production and only aggravate the condition.

6. Chocolate and greasy foods cause acne.
No one food has been proven to cause breakouts.

7. You can shrink the pores on your face.
Pore size is genetically determined. Retin-A and alpa hydroxys are designed to break up these materials and bring the pores back to their original appearance.

8. Antiperspirants can cause cancer.
No scientific evidence linking it to cancer.

9. You don't need to use sunscreen on a cloudy day.
The sun's UV rays penetrate clouds and can still damage your skin.

10. Natural ingredients are non-allergenic.
You can be allergic to anything be it natural or chemical ingredients.

Wild Wild WET!
It’s bikini time! Want to know what kinds of swimsuit will flaunt your figure? Here are your guidelines!

Top Heavy ladies:

Lucky you! You are one of the most fortunate women in the world! In order to bring out those enviable curves of yours, do select bikini with V-neck and halter tops. It will help to enhances your shape.
However, if u wishes to direct attention away from your cleavage, you can paired a dark-coloured top with a printed bottom.
And of course, it is very important to provide good support. Thus a thick band under the bust is preferable.

Bottom Heavy ladies:

If you do not wish to emphasize on your bottom, do not wear bottoms that are more brightly coloured than your top as the bright colour will draw attention to your bum.
How to make your bum look smaller? Easy. Choose solid colours or vertical stripes swimsuit will make your bottom look slimmer.
But bear in mind! AVOID boy-short as these will make your legs look shorter and bulkier.

Boyish Figure Ladies:

It’s your chance to change your destiny! You can create the illusion of curves by wearing lighter colours horizontal stripes and skimpier bottoms.
Want to have a sexier butt? Tiny shorts that are cut higher up the bum give the prefect effect of a perky butt.
Bigger top? No problem. Choose tops with embellishments such as sequins, beads, and strings will emphasize your bust line.

Skinny Ladies:

Envy! You girls will look the greatest in bikini. Just a little touch up will do. Choose bikinis with low riders or hipster to make your waist seems smaller.
Details on the bottom like tie sides or trims will tend to add contours to your hips.
You can also try one piece suits with large cut-outs at the sides which help to create the illusion of curves by giving you a smaller waist and wider hips.
Personal tips: EAT MORE!

Plus Size Ladies:

Yes you! You can also look good in swimsuit! Bear in mind that vertical or diagonal stripes, or large blocks of colours have a slimming effect.
One-piece suits and tankinis give you a slimmer silhouette.
Do you know that bold graphic prints helps to make you look slimmer too?
Trimming or details at the bust line can help to draw attention to that area and away from the middle.

As you girls can see, enhancing or sliming effect can be done through the use of colours. Thus do not hesitate and look for the best colour that suits you!

........................................................................................................................................................

For thoe foodies now! As promised, we'll provide nice fruit juice recipes everyweek. =)

Keeping freshly squeezed juice for too long will destroy the nutrients of the fruits. Therefore, freshly squeezed juice should be consumed immediately so that all the nutrients can be absorbed by the body.

..........................................................................................................................................

We have got the swimwear covered. Here's the five grouses.

1. The sun beauty fiend- not! : true crime is actually is not using beauty products with SPF.!!

2. Bikinis are not just for the super skinny: Be body-confident and wear whatever u fancy! Who cares if those beach bunnies with a bad tan are sniggering about your less-than taut-thighs?

3. Nude face on the beach?: BORING!! Skip foundation and try a tinted mosituruzer instead. Colour your eyes with shadows in psychedelic shaded!! colur it up!

4. Bleached locks arent cool, they're aging.: Seawater and overexposure to the sun give hair that coppery-blonde tone, which makes our skin looks grey. Make sure to treat those locks with nourishing hair goodies to keep them kusciously dark!

5. DONT LEAVE YOUR TOES NAKED! : Get a pedicure in a bright nail colour and volia! You have the perfect peds for ur fave beach slippers. =)

........................................................................................................................................

There! A whole lot for this week! Stay tuned ya? =)

2006-05-25T12:24:00.000+08:00

Hello everyone! Its once again Thursday! Below are some tips to grooming as well as some healthy fruit juice recipes!

Tips on Grooming On your hairs. =)

This week, we’ll be talking about hairs. Beautifying them. =)

Heard all the raves of how mascaras promise you to have longer and thicker lashes? =)
Well, here’s the verdict u mascara fanatics! =P

1) L’oreal Volume Shocking Waterproof $26.90

Woe 2: Maintaing our coloured hair.

Wondering why our expensively coloured hair isn’t as pretty as before, and is still thinking of a way to solve it? Here’s your saver.
Spray HOYU BEAUTYLABO leave on treatment gel($9.90) before bedtime to restore gloss, seal in moisture and to prevent haircolour from fading.

THERE!
Starting pampering those manes now people.. =D

Now..
Making healthy juices!

Why do we need to add ice cubes or iced water whenever we blend our juice?

That is because the blender will heat up the juice while blending and destroy the nutrients present in the fruits. Therefore, by adding ice cubes or iced water, we can restore the nutrients in the fruits.

Dragon Fruit Vegetable Juice

Ingredients:
½ cup Peeled and diced dragon fruit
8 Peeled and sliced water chestnuts
¼ cup Celery; cut into pieces
½ tsp Honey
½ cup Cold water
2 Ice cubes

Method:
Put the dragon fruit, water chestnuts and celery into the blender
Add honey, cold water and ice cubes
Blend for approximately 30 seconds
Pour and serve!
* Drink it everyday for detox n trimming purposes.

Taking care of yourself. MORE. =)

2006-05-18T13:22:00.000+08:00

I see that KC gave some nice grooming tips..
Here's some more! =)

Nails- (cos i love to take care of them! they are my prized possessions.. =) )

It takes five months for nails to replace themselves. Grow nails only if you can keep them clean. Short nails make less trouble. Clip nails short, along their shape. Don't cut them so close that it pinches the skin. A healthy body ensures healthy nails. Brittle or discoloured nails show up deficiencies or disease conditions.
Do not keep your nails painted continuously. It causes the keratin, of which nails are made, to split. Pamper your hands and nails once every three weeks with a manicure.

Feet- (i have ugly ones.. =( )

Give your feet a good scrub with a sponge, pumice stone or foot scrubber that is not made of very abrasive material when having a bath. Dry after bath between toes. Keep toenails clipped.
Those who use shoes constantly need to slip them off now and then. This airs the socks a bit and makes them less smelly. Wear cotton socks. Wear a clean pair everyday. Powder your feet before wearing socks. Many people have sweaty feet, and socks and shoes can get quite smelly. If possible do not wear the same pair of shoes every day. Keep atleast one more pair and use it alternatively. Go for a pedicure once in three weeks.
Give importance to wearing comfort in the choice of footwear. For those who go barefoot indoors, door mats must be cleaned or changed frequently. Extra foot care is required for diabetics.

yupzz. here u go. do do do take care yea? =)

Personal Hygiene

The weather is hot and humid and it give rise to the outbreak of my face. Determine to put a stop to this acne outbreak everynow and then. I decided to search online for some secret formidable way to put a stop to my problem.

Healing packs
I venture into an online website which states that healing packs made of cucumbers,cooked oatmeal in milk and creamed carrots can be used to apply on the face for about half and hour and rinse it off after that.And it has been found effective by alot of people.
For people who want are so damn determined to get those acne off their face and want more ways to get rid of it, thank me cause i have found another effective method.

Hot Epsom Salt
Adding 3 lbs of Epsom salt to 60litres of water with a temperature of 100 oF. Remain in the bath for about 25-35mins till perspires set in.

The 2 method stated are proven effective by people but it does not mean that it is a 100% workable solution to acne problem. It all depend on individuals.
