Some BEAUTY Tips

9 Jul
  • 3 months for mascara (due to bacteria growing because of exposure of air)
  • clean brushes after each use (and deep clean them once a week)
  • a green tinted concealer/foundation will minimize the redness of a zit
  • try not to match your make up too much with what you are wearing
  • always wash your hands before washing your face
  • when using false lashes, always stretch them out to avoid stiffness
  • no eye concealer/base? foundation works to keep eyeshadow colour vivid
  • use a brush for eyeshadow, the sponge applicator is harsher for the eye
  • always take your make-up off before sleeping

Question: What are your tips?

THOSE DRINKS WITH BENEFITS

26 Jun

Milk is a great drink that will definitely benefit for the long run in the future. The main reason is that it makes your bones stronger because of the calcium. Along with that, milk also has important vitamins such as A and D, with lots of muscle-building protein. The same goes for chocolate milk as well – except it has caffeine and refined sugar in it. If you plan on drinking some, go for lower fat options like 1% or skim.

Soy Milk is an excellent alternative if you happen to be lactose intolerant. It provides vitamin E, but it is less in saturated fat than cow’s milk. If you plan to go for this option, look for brands that offer calcium along with vitamins A and D. As for flavoured types, be warned though, it may contain sugar to make the drink sweeter.

Water is essential to everyone because it helps flush away toxins stored in your body. It is calorie-free and a perfect way to get fluids your body needs. The old saying, “drink eight cups of water daily” needs to be taken to heart seriously. It may seem like a lot of liquid, but your body need fluids.
