We all know the Diva. When she walks in a room, she makes quite an entrance. Everyone notices and she loves the attention. She will dress to impress and accessorize like no one else. For the Diva, bigger is better unless it's her dress size.
The Diva with money loves diamonds and lots of them. She wouldn't dream of having a diamond ring smaller than three carats. She will probably have several other rings with multiple diamonds. Her wedding ring won't be a simple band of gold. Not for her. Her wedding ring will be covered in diamonds. Don't be envious; she probably earned every carat on her hand. It's not easy being a Diva.
Bracelets, whether silver or gold, will be plentiful. One bracelet is never enough. Several bangles and a sparkling tennis bracelet adorn one arm. She may even wear several watches on the other arm. She is never on time; she just likes flashy watches.
Earrings must be long and dangling. The new chandelier earrings were made for her. They scream, "I am beautiful and sexy, and I know it." Whatever age; the diva is ageless. She has the personality that says I am here; deal with it. If you don't like me, that's your problem. Crossing a diva is never in your best interests.
Broaches are a must if the dress allows. If the plunging neckline of a dress will not allow for a large pin or broach, maybe a small diamond on one tiny part of the neckline will do. Now in a suit, the story changes radically. A suit screams for a lovely diamond, ruby, or sapphire broach. A combination of all the jewels might be in order too.
Whether or not to wear a toe ring is a serious question for the diva. If her feet are small and dainty, of course, she will want at least one tone ring to show off with her strappy sandals. If her ankles are similarly dainty, an elegant anklet is the perfect finishing touch.
Now, there are divas who, for one reason or another, are between jobs or sugar daddies. She may even be a Diva-wannabe. For this diva bigger is still better but the gems don't have to be real diamonds. She can look just as flashy with fake diamonds. In fact some of today's fake gems are sparklier than the real thing and only a jeweler with a loop can tell the difference. This diva knows she looks good even if her jewelry isn't real. She is a presence and is not easily intimidated.
We all know divas. They are fun, fearless, and fabulous. They make the world a better place because they love life and add drama to our lives. Long live the Diva.

The Jewelry Diva
We all know the Diva. When she walks in a room, she makes quite an entrance. Everyone notices and she loves the attention. She will dress to impress and accessorize like no one else. For the Diva, bigger is better unless it's her dress size.

Does Your Makeup Contain Harmful Ingredients?
Did you know that many of the major cosmetic companies produce makeup products made with harmful ingredients that can harm your face? Many women in their daily lives use make-up. Most, in any case, use make-up during special occasions. Whether you fully do up your face every morning or you simply wear a bit of lipstick when attending holiday parties, it is important to use products that are safe for your skin. Learning how to weed out these potentially dangerous chemical products is important.
Why do companies use dangerous products? Simply put, any business has a single overlying goal-to make money. Cosmetic ingredients that are harmful are often the cheapest alternative for the make-up that is being produced. Harmful ingredients also create a better-looking product in some cases. What they don't tell you is that after using that beautiful new shade of eye shadow, you could face skin problems.
Fortunately, many companies realize that consumers are growing increasingly savvy about the products they buy, especially products used to make up or clean the face. Our facial skin is sensitive, so it is important to use the best products available. Whether you want inexpensive or high-end products, there are cosmetics, moisturizers, toners, and other things available for you that do not have harmful chemicals on their ingredient list.
Some common harmful ingredients in makeup to watch for when purchasing items to be used on our faces include Methyl, Propyl, Butyl, and Ethyl. These are known toxins and cause allergic reactions in many people. These chemicals are extremely cheap, so are often used to kill any bacterial growth in your product. Many companies use them.
Also be wary of Propylene Glycol and DMDM Hydrantoin. These products are used in anti-freeze! Products such as these have been linked to abnormal kidney and liver function and can actually cause permanent damage to your organs.
As mentioned above, be especially careful of what you put on your lips as well. Most synthetic colors, like C Yellow 6, are dangerous for both your skin and your body, and when you put this chemical on your lips, you are essentially eating a poison. Once, this may not affect you, but after wearing the lipstick for a long period of time, you may start to feel the results. It's like smoking a cigarette every day!
To be safe, simply ask your dermatologist or regular family doctor for recommendations about what kinds of products to use. Be sure that the makeup you choose does not contain harmful ingredients and that it is safe in order to keep your skin healthy - the healthier your skin is, the younger you will look and the happier your will feel.

Acne, the Scourge of Youth
Plan a date; get ready for the prom, set the date for your senior picture or just want to look nice. What always happens; you know, acne, a zit as big as a cabbage lands on your face or on your nose. You feel like an alien in a land of smooth skinned movie stars. Why don’t the popular kids get acne? What are they doing that you aren’t doing. Why me; why me; why does this always happen to me. I’m a good person; why am I plagued with acne. No one knows for sure why people, especially teenagers, get acne. In the fifties and sixties, teens were told that chocolate caused acne or eating too much fried food caused acne. No one really knew anything to do except use Noxzema and pray. There were only acne treatments, no cures. Having acne was seen as a rite of passage.
Today we know much more about acne and acne treatments. Some people have acne so bad that they take prescription medicine so strong that they must sign that they will not get pregnant while taking the drug. Other people take natural acne treatments because the idea of using potentially harmful treatments scares them more than the acne. The major problem with acute acne is that it can cause acne scars so bad that people have to seek acne laser treatments to improve their skin. Still others go to the grocery store and find over the counter acne products. As anyone who has ever suffered from acne will tell you, acne can rob you of your dignity and your feelings of self-worth. Our outward appearance, especially during the teen years, is so important. I know, “Pretty is as pretty does.” Well, pretty never seems to have acne.
People can be so cruel to acne sufferers. They can call you tomato face, pimple face, scar man or hundreds of ugly taunts. Because teens need to look good to feel good about themselves, the market for acne treatments is enormous. Commercials on television are always advertising the latest in acne medications especially during teen shows. The kids on the show always have smooth, blemish free faces and look exactly like every teen wants to look. Teens want to buy whatever acne medication is new and different in the hope that this new acne treatment will work better than others.
There are even infomercials about acne treatments and acne cover-ups. These infomercials show adults who are looking for make-up to cover-up acne or acne scars. This heavy make-up does seem to cover up scaring or acne on the people doing the infomercial. There are also infomercials about adult acne solutions. Unfortunately, some adults do still get acne. There is a huge market of acne medications or acne treatments for adult acne, not on just the face but also for people who suffer from acne back. Shame makes these people fear others seeing their acne.
One truth remains. There is no cure for acne but there are steps that can be taken to help prevent it. People who think that youth is wasted on the young probably never had acne.

So You’re Thinking About Facial Implants
Well, you’re not alone. An average of 350,000 men and women in the United States get facial implants annually. Rhinoplasty (nose reshaping) was the most used; but other facial implant procedures target the chin, jaw and the cheeks.
Facial implants can bring a more harmonious balance to a face. Whether it is to create a stronger more sculpted jaw line or to raise cheekbones, facial implants can be the answer to enhance your appearance.
So what do you need to know about getting facial implants?
First, look for a plastic surgeon that you trust. The basis for your trust has to be more than just thinking the doctor “seems okay.” You may feel embarrassed to ask, but it is well within your rights to inquire about the doctor’s credentials.
It is also perfectly acceptable to ask how many procedures (like the one you intend to have done), has the doctor previously performed. Getting recommendations from friends and acquaintances you trust is a good place to start.
(As a side note, do not be misled into thinking that a plastic surgeon and a cosmetician / aesthetician are the same. THEY ARE NOT. A plastic surgeon has gone through medical school and is licensed to perform surgery. Cosmeticians and aestheticians don’t have such training and are not allowed to carry out procedures like facial implants.)
Once you’ve decided which doctor to use, share what you want to achieve with the procedure with him: don’t expect the doctor to read your mind. If you find describing your desired look difficult, try taking some pictures to him as examples of the type of chin, jaw, or nose you desire to have following the surgery. Some doctor’s clinics have computer programs that can simulate an implant’s effect on the face to help with your decision of what you really want.
Next, be honest with your doctor regarding your lifestyle. Don’t start lying about your smoking habits just because it’s a doctor who’s asking you. Details like those are important for your plastic surgeon. It will help him / her address possibilities for infection and so that you can take steps toward a swifter recovery.
Finally, prepare yourself for the immediate effects of the procedure. Your body will react with a lot of swelling and discomfort, but this is natural as it is the body’s way of healing itself. Give it 7-10 days to relieve the swelling and a few more weeks before you participating in rigorous activities like sports.
Your new facial implant will greatly enhance your appearance. Just take the time to do your homework right.

Your Facial Plastic Surgery Checklist
Is It A Nose Or Face Lift? Cheek Or Chin Implants? Whatever type of plastic surgery procedure you think you need (or want); there are things to consider so that you get the best results not only for your appearance, but more importantly, your health and your self-esteem.1. Who’s Your Doctor?This is the most important decision you will make; even above the issue of how expensive your face-lift will be. Plastic surgery is still surgery, which means certain things will be done to your body – which is something you should never take lightly.Take the time to look for a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon that has performed, many times, the procedure you choose to undergo. You wouldn’t want to settle for a liposuction expert to work on your nose, right?Also, make sure the person you are considering is a licensed doctor – because that’s what plastic surgeons are – doctors. They are not cosmeticians or aestheticians that took a 3-month course in some vocational school. For surgery, it’s a medical degree and nothing less. 2. Know What You Want (But Be Ready To Listen And Follow Your Doctor’s Advice). Although they hold a medical degree, your doctor is not a psychic who can read your mind. You need to tell him / her what you want to achieve from the procedure. Bring pictures to give your doctor an idea of what you have in mind. You doctor may even have a computer program for this very purpose.However, listen to your doctor if they give you advice (because that’s what you pay them for!). If, for example, your doctor tells you that the cheek implant you want still won’t make you look like Jennifer Lopez listen and adjust your expectations accordingly. 3. This Is Going To Hurt…… at least for a while, immediately after the procedure. But don’t be scared, the swelling and discomfort are indicators your body is reacting to the surgery by healing itself. In 7 to 10 days, the pain and swelling should subside substantially. But even then, give yourself enough time to fully recover (about a month or so) before taking up activities that can strain your body.Finally, make sure you really, REALLY want the procedure (and not just because someone made a wise crack at how you look or told you that you should have plastic surgery). Plastic surgery exists to enhance the appearance you’ve already have – not to fix something that’s wrong with you, because there isn’t. And that’s something you don’t need a medical degree to know for certain.

Good Posture Can Improve One’s Appearance
Posturing is very important for people both young and old. Good posture will insure that a person is balanced at all times and not become a hunchback. People should practice this whenever sitting in a chair, walking or lying down in bed. Since it is tiring to work on a computer for an entire day, a person must choose a chair that has a good cushion and is ideal for their back. The individual should sit properly with the hips against the back of the chair and the knees slightly lower. Since this only protects the upper back, a small cushion should be inserted to provide cushioning for the lower portion of they body. Whenever a person stands, the knees should be bent slightly to help the person rise. As an individual moves forward, their shoulders should be relaxed making it easy to move freely and not appear to be a robot.A good way to practice posturing is by using a mirror. A person can see this while standing in facing forward or in a sideway position. This will make it easy to determine if everything from top to bottom is aligned.Choosing the right mattress is also important for good posture. A person should purchase a mattress that is not too soft or too hard. Whenever lying down, the back should be against the bedding. Those who have a hard time can put a pillow under the knees to assist them to attain this position. As much as possible, people should avoid sleeping their side; this will cause strain on the muscle that is pressed against the bedding making it numb. People should also avoid curling up since this puts strain on the spine and may cause muscle pain after getting up.People who have problems with the back should consult a chiropractor for an examination and to make recommendations for improving their posture. Those who want to improve their posture should exercise regularly at home; working on the abs and back. A person can choose to purchase and exercise machine that is available at a sporting goods store or from the internet. Those who don’t want to spend a great amount of money can exercise by doing sit-ups and other floor exercises. Constant practice at home and when going out in public can really help a person’s appearance and prevent them from slouching or walking like penguins which will make an individual the laughing stock of the town.
Hairstyle To Improve Appearance
A person’s hairstyle is his crowning glory, whether that person is a man or a woman. Have you noticed a how a person changes his appearance with a change of hairstyle? Women often change their hairstyles to alter their moods. Women who experience depression will sometimes change their hairstyles believing that a new hairstyle will not only change their looks but how they feel about themselves as well.The changes in a person’s appearance due to a change in hairstyle can be summed up in one word - transformation! Nothing changes a person’s appearance and character more than a change of hairstyle, whether it’s a change of the hair color or a haircut.But as with make up, the foundation of a good hairstyle is a healthy scalp. Anyone who desires to change their appearance must start with the basic care of their scalp. While there is no compelling evidence to support the old saying that brushing your hair a hundred times each day will make you hair healthier, it may be a good tip for those who want to keep their hair healthy.Brushing the hair (although not exactly a hundred times), will have a good effect on your scalp. It is always advisable to massage the scalp to stimulate the hair follicles.A person cannot choose the kind of hair he is born with although it can be improve. Your hair type has been determined from the moment you were in your mother’s womb, since genes are the determining factor. Those with thinning hair problems have probably inherited the problem from their parents. If you experience excessive hair loss, do not fret because more hair will replace the hair that has been naturally discarded.Many women have a difficult time growing long hair. If you experience this, try using a mild shampoo and avoid too much washing as this will damage the natural oils of your hair. Brushing your hair and massaging your scalp regularly will help improve hair growth.People who have oily hair have healthier hair but this type is prone to becoming limp and dull. Contrary to common believe, oily hair rather than dry hair, is more prone to producing dandruff. Those with oily hair should use a cleansing shampoo and steer clear of conditioning shampoos. If you have dandruff, a hot oil massage will not solve the problem. Experts suggest using anti-dandruff shampoos. Others recommend going to the beach and washing your hair with the salty water to deter dandruff.No matter what hair type you have, or what kind of hair problems you are experiencing, there is always a corresponding treatment. So take good care of your hair because it can make or break your personality.
How Love Can Make You More Beautiful
Ever heard of the saying “love makes the world go round”? It may be true, but do you believe that love makes a person more beautiful?Ask any beauty icon about her beauty secret and she will tell you that how a woman feels inside shows outside. In truth, a person who feels loved and in love will have a different aura. They refer to this as a “gleam in one’s eye or a glow in one’s cheeks”, and is something that improves a person‘s appearance.It is not necessary for a person to feel the “man and woman” type of love to be beautiful: it can be filial love or love for anything. What is important is that you have a powerful feeling that transforms heaven and earth and a person’s sense of well-being.Imagine how you would look if you possess the knowledge that no one cares for you or loves you: this depressed feeling can make you want to frown and look depressed and/or angry.On the contrary, a person who feels that he is loved by his family, his friends or by a special someone, will have a face that speaks of serenity, peace and happiness.The glow of love does not only create a glow in one’s heart but it also creates a glow in one’s face and reflects how a person views the world around him.

How To Enhance The Appearance Of Men
Society has become so vain and enamored with the idea of beauty that men and women will do anything and everything to become beautiful. Along with this obsession for everything beautiful came new technologies that can enhance beauty, but for a certain price.Today, even men have become so vain that they are willing to undergo surgical procedures if only to remove that extra flab from their abdomen or to obtain fabulous abs. A majority of men today go to the gym not only to become fit but to avoid being/becoming fat. They also have their own dermatologists to keep their faces free from acne and other blemishes.Beauty, at one time, was assumed to be a woman’s territory. However, there are more and more beauty products that specifically cater to men; from shampoo, lotion, cologne, facial wash, body wash, to other products that used to occupy a woman’s shelves.Men have become as vain as women, concerning beauty, but just what is a beautiful man?A man is said to be beautiful if he knows how to act and be a man. A beautiful man should not only be measured by his physical appearance, but by his principles. However, men can not be blamed for aspiring to be beautiful outwardly. So how can they improve their appearance?Aside from his personality, a man’s physique will always determine his attractiveness toward the opposite sex. A man can easily improve his appearance by making certain that he is physically fit. Going to the gym for cross training will improve his body, but this can also be achieved by doing physical exercises such as jogging, walking, playing tennis or any other physical activity.Once the right body build is achieved, a man can focus on his skin. A man with acne probably won’t be as popular with girls when compared to a man with a clear skin. Regular facial check ups should be done if possible if acne or other blemishes are present or have left scars on his face. If a man is blessed with clear skin, then he must maintain his facial condition and cleanse his face with water and soap that has a PH or acidity level below ten.A man’s neatness will also improve his overall appearance; the way a man wears his clothes will also make a difference. A man should learn how to dress according to the occasion. He should be dressed comfortably but never overdressed.There are many ways of improving a man’s appearance; while he should focus on the physical aspects, a man should also make certain he has something important to say before he opens his mouth to speak. While he has to exert effort to improve his physical appearance, he should also exert an equal amount of effort to improving his mind.
Physical Appearance And Personality
Appearance is a very important thing in our modern world. Our world is constantly being influenced by movie and television stars that embody physical beauty at its finest. However, many people overlook the fact that there is more to beauty than simply having the “right look”. Personality is one aspect of beauty that is much overlooked these days. Focusing one’s attention on improving your personality is a healthy and lasting way to improve your attractiveness. A recent study, which was done by the University of Central Florida, revealed that men are willing to overlook the physical appearance of a woman if she’s likeable and friendly. This means that people who may not necessarily measure up to the modern day standards of physical attractiveness may be considered beautiful.Personality need not compete with physical appearance: they should go hand in hand with each other to optimize one’s features inside and out.Knowing One’s PersonalityKnowing your own personality is a key step toward using it for the betterment of your appearance. One should take time to recognize the kind of personality he/she has. There are many books and instructional materials available about how to identify the type of personality you have. Many support groups and tests n the Internet are available to assist you in this endeavor.All Personalities Have A Good SideAnyone’s personality type can be viewed by others as a flawed one. People who are overly aggressive or extremely quiet can be seen by others as weird, but almost every one is weird relative to the views of another person. There are many ways of using your personality toward the betterment of yourself. Managing One’s TraitsThere are always areas for improvement in any kind of personality. You should be able to identify them and be able correct any bad traits.Highlighting One’s Good TraitsPutting your positive traits in the spot light is the true essence of using personality as a tool to appear more attractive. Everyone possesses certain characteristics that are positive and unique.Each person has his/her own personality. Personality improvement is just one of the ways to fully optimize the inherent beauty that you possess. Personality and physical appearance should always go hand in hand with each other. Personality is the reflection of inner beauty that transcends into the physical world. People should realize that beauty is more than the physical appearance.
In Balancing Kindness And Your Appearance
Good looks and physical appearance are qualities, which are collectively acknowledged as external and shallow when talked about in the perspective of evaluating a person for human relationships. This can either be for friendship or for a more intimate and sexual relationship.Using this premise, most people tend to evaluate a person based on his or her physical appearance as well as their personality traits. However, some people will look only at the physical appearance while others will look for the personality traits as well. But whatever the choice, we cannot simply surmise the fact that personality has been one of the significant factors why people see the beauty within an individual.In a particular study conducted to identify if personality and physical appearance can be considered as “predictors” of mate selection in females, the researchers have found that nearly 90% of the 92 married couples surveyed have answered that personality is preferred over physical appearance. Among the many factors that constitute personality, kindness is the most important.According to the study, almost 90% of the respondents replied that they would rather marry a person with a kind heart than a person who is only beautiful from the outside but is contrastingly vicious in the inside.The law of Karma, patterned upon the rock of Newton’s law of cause and effect, asserts that for every action, there is an equal reaction: take away someone’s sight and you will lose yours. Give kindness, and you will reap what you sow.The simple fact is that if people pay more attention to being kind rather than being vain in their appearance, beauty will naturally emanate from within. That is what real beauty is all about.What most people do not know is that enlightenment and the goodness of a person causes his personal aura to vibrate at a vastly increased rate. This vibration frequency creates the total character development that constitutes the attractiveness of a person, based both on the physical aspect and personality facets.The bottom line is that it is really “nice to be nice.” Any acts of kindness, even a simple smile or uttering a few “kind” words can make a difference. Remember that a smile is better than a few dabs of lipstick or a few strokes of blush-on. What matters most is how you show your kindness to everyone. From there, beauty naturally radiates from the positive aura that is emanating from within your soul.

These are available in singles or in packs. All the user has to do is apply it to the face and peel it off after five minutes. Puffy eyes are usually caused by fatigue. A person will notice some swelling or redness and this can easily be fixed by applying some eye gel. Cucumber, chamomile, and a cold compress can also be used for those who want to look beautiful when on a small budget. Since the body is also exposed to dirt and other elements, purchase and use a body scrub every time you shower to wash away dead skin to feel refreshed.

There are many brands available and selecting the right one is needed to improve your appearance.A concealer can help hide the dark spots on the cheeks and below the eyes. Select a color that is lighter than the foundation you will use. If the concealer is likely to cake, apply an eye cream beforehand.Foundations come in different shades. You should choose one that is nearest your skin color. Most of these come in packs that have a small mirror and sponge for easy application. Uneven application should be fixed by using your fingertips. This can be applied as many as two to three times a day, depending on the person. The cheeks are most visible when the person smiles. This will make it easier for the individual to brush up on spots that were not covered during the first coating. The color of the eyebrows is an important part of enhancing your appearance. There are two ways to do this. The first is by using a pencil and the other is by using a brush. There are people who choose one over the other but most people have experienced better results when using a brush. Women who want to stand out, especially at parties should use some eye shadow. Many brands have eye shadow in three different colors which can be used at the same time. The lightest shade of the three can be applied below the eyebrow, the medium should be used in the crease and the darkest shade should be applied on the eyelids.Eyelashes can be improved by using an eye liner. A person can use this along the base of the lashes.Besides an eye liner, an individual can apply mascara on the lashes. Most women choose a color which is similar to the color of the hair or a shade slightly darker. The most important thing to do before going out is apply some lipstick. Many women choose the red tones but other shades that compliment your skin tone can also be used. A person doesn’t always have to look glamorous when going out, but a few touches of make-up here and there are more than enough to make the your face stand out.
The Best Beauty Secret - Beyond Makeup And Hair Treatments
Simply looking like a model will NOT qualify you to be called beautiful, and that is the honest truth.Beauty is more than just the perfect hair, makeup, dress, teeth, skin and clothes. Yes, those things help make a woman look good. But beautiful is a class of its own – a class a woman like you can achieve.Of course, looking good can help as you make your way toward being beautiful. So here are some tips to get from looking good to becoming beautiful. - Your Crowning GloryYou don’t need to visit the salon every week, but neither should you keep your ‘mane’ looking like a mat on your head. Take care to keep your hair clean and shiny. On occasion (every 2 months or so), visit a hairstylist who can suggest a good cut that will suit your face and body shape.- Carry Yourself Like RoyaltyThe idea is for you to be able to walk down a street WITHOUT shuffling your feet and with your head bowed down as if apologizing for your existence. Push your shoulders back with your head resting squarely on your shoulders and stride! Walk as if every hall you pass is a runway – because it is.- You Make The Clothes (Not The Other Way Around).Be realistic about your body shape. Not everyone’s got an hourglass figure (and guess what? Not everyone desires that either!). Don’t torture yourself by forcing your body into clothes that will not suit you. It is about as sad a thing as you could do to yourself. Take what you’ve got and dress to highlight what your mama gave you. Consult with a professional to determine what types of clothes will flatter your body shape.- Makeup Not Mock-UpThe only time too much makeup is a good thing is when it’s on a clown or mime. Otherwise, less is more. Much like with clothes, use makeup to highlight the nice things about your face. Are those your eyes? Your lips? Your cheeks? Caution though, if you feel your face has got all of those; choose only one part to emphasize or risk looking like a member of K.I.S.S.Finally, the best beauty secret of all……love yourself! It is by far the best beauty treatment you can get. Develop a positive attitude on everything there is about you – from the way you think, to how you talk and of course how you look. People will recognize that there is something about you that makes you irresistible – and that is when you feel great about yourself, no matter what others think or say. You can start being beautiful – now!
Simple Steps To Sexy Skin
If you do it right, your best makeup is your own skin’s natural glow.Nothing is sexier than healthy skin. Perhaps this is because everything that enhances the appearance (makeup, clothes) eventually has to be removed – that is, except skin: which is probably why so many people spend so much on skin care products. These products command a huge share of the amount spent on personal care and cosmetics. Spending for skin cosmetic procedures (like Dermabrasion and Botox) came to almost $2 billion in the past years.Believe it or not, you still can have great skin without spending a great amount of money on lotions, moisturizers and fancy treatments like chemical peels. All you need is some common sense, a little discipline and a lot of self-love.- Hydrate, Hydrate And Hydrate Some More.There is a reason why ¾ of your body is made up of water. Most of your organs (your skin included) need water to be able to function normally. So help your body by drinking 8 or more glasses of water a day (preferably 10). Sodas, tea and coffee do not count because they actually cause dehydration.- Keep Clean.Taking regular baths or showers and keeping your skin clean and fresh will give you that glow and provide exfoliation and blood circulation. Be careful not to over-scrub, though, as it forces premature skin to the surface. It may look good at first but the skin will age and become dull sooner.- Protect Your Skin And Allow It To Rest.Remember that your skin is the largest organ of your body: it is that part of the body that is most exposed to the elements, including harmful radiation from the sun. To combat this, stay away from sunlight during the hours of 10am to 3pm and wear sunscreen when going outdoors. With all that stress, you should allow your skin (and in essence, your entire body) the time it needs to recover and rebuild damaged cells in preparation for the following day. - Avoid Smoking And Drinking.Next to harmful UV rays, cigarettes and alcohol are the worst culprits of stealing your skin’s healthy youthful look. They add toxins to a body and shows not only on your skin but in the rest of your body as well.Having great skin need not be expensive, you just need to be smart and practical. In no time, your skin will get back that sexy glow.

Ultraviolet radiation (UVA and UVB) originating from exposure to the sun, produce up to 90 percent of premature “skin aging” symptoms.- Even minute UV radiation amounts activate the process that can cause skin wrinkles.- Long-term accumulative and repetitive sunlight exposure is responsible for the majority of unwanted consequences, including squamous and basal “cell carcinomas”.- Melanoma is caused by extreme sun exposure in early childhood.Sunlight consists of UVA or UVB radiation that penetrates the skin layers and damages it resulting in wrinkles, pigmentation of the skin, discoloration, freckles, etc.- UVB is the main driving force of sun burning which primarily affects the skin’s outer layers. - UVA penetrates more deeply and the intensity does not fluctuate during the day.Tips On Using The Correct Sun Block: 1. Make sure that the brand provides both UVB & UVA absorption. Read the label and check; it should provide “broad spectrum” protection to absorb both UVB and UVA rays.2. Make certain that it will disperse heat. Your sun block formula must spread around the energy of the sun with particles that disperse light to reduce heat buildup.3. It should absorb radiation. Read the label and make sure that it contains natural products which absorb infrared radiation. 4. It should protect you from free radicals. Your sun block should be formulated with extracts from natural herbs to shield the skin cell membranes and prevent damage caused by free radicals.5. It should deliver liposomes. Ascertain that the sun block has microscopic liposomes which periodically release directly to your skin. 6. Your sun block must have emollients to soften, moisten, and delay skin’s premature aging. Certain herbal ingredients such as aloe vera, coco butter, vitamins, and amino acids, promote healthy skin.Your skin cared for as early as possible and by using the right choice of products and understanding the type of your skin. Use sun block to shield your skin from the sun and prevent wrinkles.
A Quick View Of Different Surgical Procedures That Can Improve Your Appearance
Surgical procedures that are performed to enhance appearance are referred to as cosmetic surgery. In the 2003 alone, an estimated of 15 million individuals underwent cosmetic surgery: the main reason, to boost self esteem.Even though health insurance rarely covers the cost of cosmetic procedures, the number of people undergoing cosmetic plastic surgery continues to flourish.Here Are Some Surgical Procedures:1. Facelifts. With age, the skin’s soft tissues lose their “elasticity”. Gravity then allows the skin to loosen and show sagging and deep lines which make you appear old and tired. Facelifts and other isolated cosmetic methods offer both women and men a younger and more vibrant look as well as an improved outlook.2. Blepharoplasty. Also referred to as eyelid surgery, is done to correct the “tired look” of eyes brought about by excess drooping skin from the upper eyelids and “bagginess” of the lower eyelids.3. Facial Implants. Are a stable or lasting technique that creates proportion and balance to the face. For instance, a withdrawing chin can be corrected through a “chin implant”, or a “sunken” appearance of the face can be corrected through cheek implants. You can also enhance thin lips through lip implants.4. Rhinoplasty. Also referred to as “nose reshaping” is the alteration or improvement of the nose by changing its’ shape by surgical means. Generally, rhinoplasty is performed to eliminate bumps on the nose’s bridge area, to straighten a crooked nose, lift a small nose, or reduce a “bulbous” tip. 5. Ear surgery. Also known as otoplasty, is generally done to correct abnormally protruding ears. Usually, if only one ear protrudes both ears undergo surgery to attain balance. Otoplasty is also performed to reduce the size of large ears.6. Eyebrow lift. This is performed for patients who want their eyelids and eyes enhanced. 7. Neck Lift. This is performed to reduce sagging and lines or can be done as part of a total “face lift” procedure. If You Decide To Have Cosmetic Surgery, Keep These Guidelines In Mind:- With cosmetic surgery, less is better. Too frequently “facelifts” result in a distorted and unnatural appearance. - Make certain that your surgeon is “board certified” and experienced in his field. Research well before deciding.- The risk is greater when surgery will be done in a clinic rather than in the hospital. - Before deciding to undergo cosmetic surgery, give your skin a few months to try skin rejuvenation topical treatments because the results can be dramatic and may change your mind about cosmetic surgery.Celebrate a new you after your surgery; your appearance is certain to be enhanced, giving you greater self confidence with which to face the world!

Discover The Real Fountain Of Youth
While it is generally considered taboo to discuss or to admit this in public, people have two things they want to avoid----ugliness and aging.Everyone has always heard the “motherly advice” about being tolerant of imperfections and of those who have not been gifted with perfect appearance. However, at the back of their minds, people will always despise the thought of becoming old and ugly.Because of the penchant for beauty and youthfulness, people are willing to spend hundreds or even millions of dollars, to enhance their appearance and to avoid appearing old as much as possible. Everybody wants to stay beautiful and young forever and the search for the “fountain of youth” has become the rule - not the exception.But what is this fountain of youth that is supposed to keep everyone young forever? Beauty experts have come up with various beauty products, anti-aging creams, placenta creams, and pills to prevent signs of aging. There are those who take hormone pills to stay young forever; but have they discovered the fountain of youth?There are reports that scientists are in the process developing a breakthrough hormone that will suppress the aging process and which will keep humans younger longer. However, the anti-aging hormone is still being tested on mice and will probably take several more years, perhaps never, before it will be used on humans.In the meantime, the human race is spending its energy and financial resources to look for the “fountain of youth”. But is there really something which will make a person youthful forever?Man is by nature a limited being so there is no question that man is destined to die. The “fountain of youth” that will make a person youthful in terms of appearance is probably just wishful thinking and man will continue to look for something that does not exist.People who want to remain young, physically and mentally should consider their state of mind. Being exposed to stressful situations throughout a lifetime can make a person age both mentally and physically. Avoiding stress or learning how to manage stress can make a big difference in a person’s appearance.Age is a state of mind and sometimes it is reinforced by certain physical factors such as wrinkles. However, a mind that is always open to new ideas and which refuses to be captive to the fear of aging will always be youthful. The way you think and the way you live your life will show in your appearance, so if you want to be youthful, think young and live a happy and stress-free life.
Talking Your Way To An Enhanced Appearance
A pleasing appearance does not depend entirely on physical beauty but is also influenced by the gait at which he walks and the way he carries himself. A person who may look beautiful can become ugly the moment he opens his mouth.Taking stock of the way you communicate with others will help you improve your appearance. A glib talker will be more attractive than a person who stands timidly quiet, not because of a lack of wisdom but because he has nothing else to say.If you are knowledgeable on any topic, then you can walk “the talk” and make yourself the most beautiful or handsome person in the room. A good talker captivates his audience without being overbearing: but be careful to not to overdo it by monopolizing the conversation.Becoming a good talker or speaker works hand in hand with possessing proper manners. You may be good in talking but if you do not possess the proper manners, then your general appearance suffers or id ruined. Avoid giving curt answers like “yes” or “no” because it will make you appear blunt.What you lack in the “looks” department can be compensated for by using a very good talking stance to improve your appearance. Engaging your associates in intelligent and polite conversation will always improve your appearance and reputation – which is good.A proper talking stance includes the quality of voice you use when conversing with others. Avoid being too loud or condescending as this will, in many cases, turn other people off and will taint your general appearance to them. A voice that is shrill or “falsetto-like” will give other people a bad impression of you. Do not use an angry voice when talking with others even if you are accustomed to using this type of voice. There is always an opportunity to change bad habits!While talking, show your interest not only in the topic or issues of the day, but also in the people around you. Being kind to those in the conversation circle will earn you higher points, appearance wise.You may inject humor in your conversation but tread carefully because there is a thin line between humor and bad taste. Never make fun of others because it is a black mark on your appearance. Always make your conversations pleasant and decent.While you may not be the most handsome or beautiful face in a room, make sure you exude a good appearance by being smart, respectful, decent, and a good conversationalist.
Why Wit Is Always Beautiful
Society's obsession with beauty has made it the primary consideration among people of all ages and of any gender. They strive to attain improvements with clothes and other products to make themselves beautiful and they spend thousands of dollars on vanity products. There's nothing wrong with that, but……..Man's proclivity for all things bright and beautiful is understandable because it is society's measure of success and popularity. However, there are many people who spend most of their time trying to be physically beautiful yet they forget to fill their minds with the right ingredients for intelligence.It is easy to be beautiful but it takes a lot of hard work to become intelligent, even if you are blessed with the genes to be so. But why should you consider being smart if you are already beautiful?Most people look at beauty in terms of a person's physical characteristics, but real beauty is beyond those long-lashes and those pouting lips. Real beauty is the total well-being of a person. It is the totality of a person in terms of his physical appearance and mental sharpness, his culture and experiences in life.It may be a cliché but it is true that “physical beauty means more than a person’s “good looks”. A person's mind is part of his physique and what better way to make your physique attractive than to nurture your mind.While beauty of the face and body is the first thing that attracts one person to another, it takes more than these two physical characteristics to be considered beautiful in the long run.Men and women have become so concerned with physical beauty that they tend to forget that what really makes a person beautiful are the words and ideas that come from his mind and mouth. Imagine having to just stare at a beautiful girl for days without being able to talk to her because she is not intelligent? Or having to endure looking at an Adonis-looking male for hours because he does not know how to carry on a conversation?Enhancing one's physical appearance is an important factor that is necessary if we are to survive in this “rat race” which favors the beautiful over intelligence or the ugly. However, plain physical beauty with nothing between the ears will cause people to lose interest. It is important to note that while physical beauty fades with age, a beautiful mind will always persist, no matter for how long, or no matter what it takes.

It is a common belief that skipping meals is a sure way to lose weight; but that is just plain wrong! Instead, try eating fruit like watermelon, papaya, etc. 10.

How Manners Can Affect Appearance
Have you ever encountered people who do no mind their manners? In a department store, when a woman starts screaming at the top of her lungs cursing a sales clerk because she did not get the size or color of an item she requested, other people will not be concerned about her appearance – just her manners. Those present will start ignoring her. This is a perfect example of a situation where manners override physical appearance.Today, there are more than enough reasons why people get angry and nasty. While they have the right to feel that way, it is important that they know how to handle the situation properly, especially when in public and other people are around.Manners or etiquette refers to set of expectations regarding social behavior; also known as conventional norm. I is an unwritten code implemented primarily by parents and teachers to produce well-mannered adults.Sub-consciously or consciously, people put more emphasis on their first impressions, particularly with others that they wish to have a personal relationship with. This does not cover just physical appearance but also good manners. Nobody wants to associate with anyone who talks when his mouth is full, asks the woman to pay for their first date, or someone who does not stop talking. Men in particular, who are polite, are greatly appreciated. If they stand when introduced to a woman, say “thank you” and “please” more often, they impress more people - not just the female population. Manners are written and unwritten rules that define or limit the behavior when interacting with other people. They are often associated with respect and proper conduct. The Following Are The Guidelines To Becoming A Well-Mannered Individual:1. Be warm and respectful when greeting acquaintances and friends. Uncomplimentary opinions of another person must not be expressed to others. These opinions can destroy another individual’s reputation or privacy. Avoid insulting other people, especially when in a crowd since this can adversely affect their emotions and self-confidence.2. Be hospitable and accommodating to everyone who pays you a visit. It is considered a personal responsibility or duty of homeowners to be considerate of their visitors.3. Dress appropriately by choosing clothes that will not offend others, especially when attending meetings, social gatherings, etc. An average looking person who is well mannered is more pleasing in comparison to good-looking person without manners. While physical appearance is important, it is more essential to pay attention to etiquette, which will be the determining factor of success when interacting and building relationships with other people.
Enhancing One’s Appearance
People work out for a variety of reasons: it is not just for those who are overweight but also for those who want to tone their muscles. This can be achieved by jogging or running outside the house or by doing simple exercises at home or work.Those who desire a good physique can sign up at a gym that has a fitness instructor who will be able to design a good individualized program that the person can follow. Those who achieve good results are happy when they see their reflection in a mirror or get compliments from friends and family members.Somehow though, this is not enough. This is because there is someone out there who is all knowing and present at all time with a person, regardless of the time or place. When people finally leave this earth, only then will this man appear to the individual. This person, who is called by many names in various religions, is God.This person, God, was the creator of all living and non-living things: the giver of life to this planet and in the universe. The best way for people to give thanks to him is by doing good deeds that will please the almighty.This can be done in many ways, both large and small. If there is a friend who smokes, drinks or is a drug addict, the individual can help by taking this person to a detoxification facility. The people who run the facility will do their best to help the patient rid himself of these vices.If a member of the family is overweight or has suffered a stroke due to bad eating habits, everyone should help by encouraging that person to make dietary changes. Household members should eat the same food as the patient to show love and support.In some religions, each person is considered to be a temple of God. In their actions toward others, individuals who have never seen the almighty will feel the strength and love sent from the one above. People do not have to do anything special to be appreciated by God. A simple gesture such as a smile can do a great deal for others. By showing some concern to those around, individuals have followed one of God’s commandments: to love one another.
