What lipstick color is right for me?
Choosing the right lip color is just as tedious, if not more, as finding the best pair of jeans that fit your figure. I have this problem with lip color but once I have found the shades that look great on me, I become a loyal fan. I look better in bright orangey red shades. Taupe or brown lipstick make me look very sick and pale. If you are not sure what color suits you, try this.
Ways To Color Your Hair Without Using Hair Dye
Want a natural way to color your hair? Here are some tips :-
Pour 1/3 cup lemon juice in a spray bottle. Lemon juice is a natural lightener. Either get three lemons and squeeze out the juice, or just buy pure lemon juice from the store. If you choose to squeeze your own, remember to strain out the seeds.
Brew two bags of chamomile tea. Like lemon juice, chamomile acts as a natural bleaching agent. Bring one cup of water to a boil and add the tea bags. Allow the tea to steep for five minutes, then add it to the lemon juice.
Add in some cinnamon and almond oil. Adding these ingredients, which also contain natural lighteners, creates a super-bleaching cocktail for your hair. Get about one teaspoon of cinnamon and one tablespoon of almond oil and mix them in with the other ingredients. You may substitute coconut oil for the almond oil, if you like.
Spray your clip in hair with the mixture. If you’re just going for highlights, only spray the areas you want to lighten. Otherwise, spray it all over your hair. Try to spray as evenly as possible to avoid patchiness.
Sit out in the sun for a while. You’ll need to stay in the sun for about one to two hours. The reason for this is that the lightening process needs heat. Be sure to use sunscreen so that you don’t burn.
Gather some flowers. You’ll need half a cup of calendula flowers or marigold petals, as well as two teaspoons of hibiscus petals. If you don’t have any in your garden, you can find them in herbal shops or some health food stores.These flowers are known for bringing out the red tones in hair. For redder hair, add more hibiscus petals.
Bring two cups of water to a boil. Add in the flowers and bring it down to a simmer. Allow it to stew for a minimum of thirty minutes. This allows all of the juices in the flowers steep into the water.
Pour the mixture into a bottle. Use a strainer to separate the flowers from the liquid. Keep it in the refrigerator. This helps to maintain its freshness.
Apply it to wet hair. It’s best to use it as a rinse after a shower. Then, sit out in the sun and allow your hair to dry. Use it every day until you achieve your desired shade of red. An herbal rinse such as this works progressively. That is, the color intensifies with repeated use.To maintain your color, simply reapply the mixture every few days.
Make the coffee. Coffee contains a natural brown pigment. Measure one cup of water and add a tablespoon of coffee. Brew as normal, then allow it to cool for thirty minutes. If you want to condition your hair at the same time, add a tablespoon of olive or coconut oil.
Apply the coffee. Make sure that you cover your entire head with the stuff. It may be helpful to comb it through after putting it in your hair. This helps the color deposit evenly throughout your hair.
Cover your hair weave with plastic wrap. You can also use a plastic bag with a rubber band to hold it in place. Keep it on for at least one hour and thirty minutes. The longer you leave it in, the darker your hair will become. The reason for this is that the plastic traps your body heat it at your scalp. Heat opens the cuticle of the hair shaft, allowing color to be deposited.
Rinse your hair with water. Do not shampoo your hair. Simply rinse the coffee off with water. If you didn’t add in the olive or coconut oil, you can use a conditioner in your hair after you rinse out the coffee.
What To Wear To A Ball Game
Dressing Right for Tailgating is Easy
Tailgating gives you the chance to head to the stadium and root for the home team. Before you watch your favorite players race across the field or court though, you’ll spend time outside as you meet and greet with other fans, whip up some dishes and sample some of the foods that other people made. You can play a game or two with NFL cornhole boards that you bring from home and get in the mood for watching the big game. Dressing right for tailgating will keep you comfortable before, during and even after the game.
Dress for the Weather
Don’t leave home without first checking the weather report. There is nothing worse than hitting the parking lot in a new tank top and shorts just as the temperature drops. If the weather report calls for mixed temperatures, you can wear layers. Wear a tee shirt or tank top underneath a sweatshirt. You can always take off layers when the temperature climbs, but if you don’t wear enough clothing, you’ll find yourself freezing by the time kick off arrives. You can bring a poncho to compensate for rain too.
Wear the Right Shoes
While the wives and girlfriends of players can get away with wearing high heels, you should stick to more comfortable shoes. By the time you finish walking around the parking lot, through the stadium and then back to your car at the end of the night, you’ll love how comfy your feet feel. A simple pair of running shoes or tennis shoes provides you with traction when walking across wet surfaces like a parking lot full of rain or a walkway covered in spilled beer.
Support the Team
No matter how you dress for the big game, make sure that you support the home team. Clothing manufacturers now make clothing for every team in the NFL, and some companies even make clothing designed specifically for female fans. These pieces highlight your natural curves and draw attention to your feminine figure. The clothing is appropriate for all weather conditions too. You can look for sweatshirts that zip up the front and those you pull on over your head, tank tops that help you stay cool and shorts or capris pants with the team’s logo running up the side. Dressing right will help you stay comfortable and have fun when tailgating before a game.

Neckline Guide
For those who are not sure which neckline is which, here is a useful guide. I like bateau and V – neck. Bateau neckline is also known as Boat Neckline and it is great with most neck types. The bateau sits closer to the neck and creates volume and bulk. A lifesaver for women with small bust as it creates an illusion of a bigger bust. A note of advice – It is better not to wear any jewellery when your top has a bateau neckline. What is your favourite?

Simple Ways To Make Your Shopping Addiction Easier To Manage
When you love shopping, you can often find that your passion goes from somewhat normal to over the top in no time at all. Although you may feel like you have a hold on how often you shop, things can be a little crazy. Whether you find yourself hitting the stores every day, endlessly buying gifts for people, or making online orders multiple times each week, you might want to see if you can reign it in a little. But how do you go about doing that?
Sometimes, you can feel as if you don’t have a problem, or you could stop shopping if you really wanted to, but it isn’t always that easy. Shopping can be a true addiction, just like anything else. So, to ensure that you’re managing your urges to shop in the most efficient way, it’s time to take action. And if you need a little help in doing that, these handy pointers should start you off on the right foot.
Do You Have A Problem?
The first part of the process that you need to address is often the hardest. Even if you don’t feel as if your shopping is that problematic, you really do need to consider if you have a shopping problem. Being a shopaholic can seem like a lot of fun. But, those highs you feel when you’re swiping your credit card can often come crashing down when you receive the bills! So, to start managing your habit, be honest with yourself about your potential problem.
Work Out What You Spend
Next, you’re going to want to really face the music by looking at what you spend. Off the top of your head, do you know what you usually spend on your shopping altogether each month? Groceries, clothing, shoes, beauty supplies – all of it. Sometimes, you may feel like it’s just a few hundred dollars, but it can actually be shockingly a lot more. And now’s the time to find out.
Create A Budget
When you’re uncovered the amounts that you’re actually spending each month, it’s time to start setting yourself a budget. It’s important to do this based on what you earn, what you have to pay on bills, and what savings you need to make. Then, you can see what’s left to spend on shopping. If you have been spending more than what you earn, this step will be the most important of all.
Use Cash
If you find that you’re all too tempted to swipe your credit card all of the time, you might benefit from trying to use cash instead. When you have to pay in cash, it feels more real. When you have a set amount of money in your wallet, you definitely think twice before spending it. Because you can see it and feel it, you’re more aware than when it’s gone; it’s gone. So working with cash can often mean that you spend a lot more wisely.
Write Everything Down
Just like you went through your expenditure to find out just how much you were really spending, it may help you going forwards to start tracking what you spend. Not only should you record all of your shopping purchases, but everything from your rent and groceries to coffees and car payments. Tracking your spending can often be a great way to cut down. Not only can you be shocked by how much you’re spending, but you can start to control what you’re spending it on.
Set Yourself A Limit
As you start to write everything down, you should know what you’re roughly spending on what each and every month. Alongside having a budget, you might also find it useful to have spending limits. Say you have a $200 budget to shop with each month, why not then set limits on what that can go towards? If you find yourself continuously buying beauty products that you just don’t use, set yourself a limit of X amount of dollars that you can’t go over every month. It might sound restrictive, but it can help you to manage your spending well.
Have A One For One Rule
Another way to make sure that all of your purchases count, is to have a one for one rule. You may be tempted to buy that gorgeous dress that just caught your eye and looks great on, but you will think twice about doing it if you know that you’re going to have to throw something out that you already own. By committing to throwing things out whenever you buy anything new, it really does mean that you have to be 100% certain of the things you’re planning on buying.
Use Gift Cards
If you’re not keen on using cash, you might want to think about using gift cards instead. It may sound crazy, but when you load money onto a gift card, you really do have a limit. You can even choose your stores, visit Cards2Cash for ideas on what you can get so that you’re taking back more control of where your spend. And because you have a limit, you know that once you’ve spent it, it really is gone.
Be Transparent
One of the ways you can really make sure that you’re taking back control of your spending it to be completely open and honest about it. Whether you have a problem or feel like you may have had one in the past, by telling your friends and family about it, you’re now held accountable. Being transparent with them means that you can no longer hide purchases, so you have to make sure that everything you buy is worth it and justified.
Cut Up Your Cards
This may not work for everyone, but if you really feel like you have a problem and you can’t get control of it, you might want to think about cutting up your cards. When you spend on credit cards or store cards, just because you can, you can often find that you get into debt super easily. But, if you cut up your cards, you can stop that from happening, or nip it in the bud before it gets any worse.
Expiration Dates For Beauty Products
Are you someone who loves buying beauty products and have tons of them at home? Do you know that your makeup and beauty products have expiration dates? Don’t worry if you have been slathering yourself with expired moisturizers or using eyeliners that have expired. It is not as bad as drinking spoilt milk *chuckle* I always follow this rule – “If it smells funky, chuck it”. Below is a list of expiration dates for the beauty products. Time to spring clean that make-up bag of yours.
