 There's nothing like shiny hair to make you look healthy and well-groomed. This doesn't always come naturally, so it may require a change in your beauty routine.

High-maintenance hair usually incurs the most damage because it takes more effort to achieve the desired affect. For the best results, try out simpler techniques and you'll find out what works for your hair texture.

Keep it Conditioned

 Have you ever come home from the salon in tears because you feel that your hair was ruined, and worst of all -- you paid for it? It's probably happened to just about all of us at some time or another but you can prevent it in the future. On a quest to the most fabulous haircut and style just for you, here are important five steps to ensure you get just what you're looking for.

Choose a Reputable Stylist

 By far, blue jeans are the most important clothing in today's wardrobe. Because they are durable and can be worn with just about anything, they are universal.

Why is it that you have one or two favorite pairs that you wear most of the time? It's probably because you have ran across a style and color that looks best on your shape. Unfortunately, they eventually wear out, you gain or lose a few pounds, or you throw them out for a new trend.

* Choose darker solid colors such as black, navy blue and gray. Black rules!

* Dress monochromatic, all in one color, top to bottom, no patterns.

* If you want to wear patterns, go for smaller ones that overlap.

* Avoid horizontal stripes. Look for thin vertical and and diagonal lines for a fluid look.

* Select accessories to draw attention from trouble spots.

* Wear clothes that fit. Not too baggy but not tight and clingy.

* Avoid bulky sweaters and sweatshirts.

* Always try on clothes. Different designers have different size charts.

What the Color of Your Clothing Says about You

Black - Conservative yet sexy, you know that black is
versatile. Wearing black clothing makes you appear thinner, giving
your self-esteem a turbo-boost.

Pink - Traditional and charming, pink is feminine all the
way. A pink and black combo is a trendy twosome for women who like to
add mystery to their otherwise girly image.

Creams & Lotions

Think of your skin as a canvas. The better the canvas, the better the art, no? There's no denying that genes play a crucial role in your overall appearance, but skin care early on in life will definitely give you the edge when it comes to texture, lines and spots when you hit your thirties and beyond.

Pimples, blemishes and acne are the most universal skin
care complaints and can be a huge source of embarrassment. Contrary
to common belief, this problem is not exclusive to teens and
adolescents. Adults often experience acne problems after years of
clear skin.

Beauty Tips for Teens

Being a teen in today's world brings many pressures from society to
look good. The media is full of beautiful faces that add to the
stress of growing up. Don't let that undermine your self-confidence!

What's a girl to do? There are many ways to enhance your natural
beauty and keep a practical skin care and make-up routine. These
tips will help bring out the best in you, but remember, good posture
and a smile give a great first impression.

Thanks for checking it out and enjoy!

1. You Assume "Healthy" Means "Low-Cal"

The label trumpets "low fat," "zero trans fats," or "no carbs." But
these virtuous pronouncements don't tell you a thing about calories —
which is what you need to pay attention to in order to lose weight and
keep it off. "My rule of thumb is to look first at the calories per
serving, then check the serving size," says Marion Nestle, Ph.D.,
professor of nutrition and food studies at New York University. You
might be surprised by what the manufacturer considers a serving: For

1. Never push back dry cuticles. Doing so can crack polish at
the base, which leads to chipping, says New York City celebrity nail
pro Deborah Lippmann, who offers tips like this in her master class,
held at upscale department stores. But if you're about to change your
polish, you don't want any cuticle skin on the nail's surface (it can
interfere with your base coat) — so loosen ragged edges by rubbing in a
softening cream. (Try Sally Hansen Nourishing Cuticle Remover
Multi-Vitamin Creme.) Then gently nudge cuticles back with an
orangewood stick.

If you apply your lipstick so that it keeps its original shape or wears down on only one side, you're the cautious type. If you warp it into being flat or concave, you're more of a risk taker. Our staffer tube test, from left to right: Careful, Spontaneous, Easygoing, Orderly, Natural, Relaxed.

Once there was a girl named Ann who was so lost. A guy whom she
considered her one true love broke her heart. She seeked refuge from
her friends. She even poured all her sentiments in a journal (blogging
was not yet the "in" thing then). But still, those were not enough to
comfort her. She felt she wanted more, but she didnt know what it was
that's lacking.

Then she saw this website while reading Cosmo.
Out of curiosity, she logged in and checked it. Just by merely reading
the posts, especially in the Love and Relationship board, made

Splashed across a little kid's cheeks, a smattering of freckles is
charming. Later in life, though, extra facial pigmentation — in the
form of brown patches or changes in tone and texture — sends a
different, less adorable message: You're aging. Do people really notice
each other's complexions that much? Apparently, yes. A 2006 Procter
& Gamble Beauty study found that skin tone alone can impact a
woman's perceived age — by as much as 20 years. So perhaps it's time to
consider the slew of effective age spot treatments now available (some

Your hair is ... curly

THE CHALLENGE

It's keeping curls under control — even when humidity swells the
cuticle, causing curls to look frizzy and frazzled. Curls are also more
prone to dryness, since they're exposed to the elements from all
angles. That's why you'll need heavier conditioning to stay soft and
fuzz-free.

Everything you give isn't lost when you love but would you have loved
less if you knew it would end ? Well, of course you wouldn't think nor
hope it if you were in one (relationship)but would you?  Would you have
restricted your emotions and feelings until he solemnly declares his
love or are you from the start an all out giver just thinking nothing
else matters to a woman/man or to any hopeless romantic in love?

So i have a date coming up this tuesday and the guy im seeing doesn't stimulate conversation beacuse hes shy. I don't want to seem talkative.

ANY IDEAS WOULD BE APPRECIATED!!!!

What is your favorite actor/actress and why?

All they do is break your heart and steal your candy!

1. To open your pores for a deeper cleansing and better absorption of vitamins by simply holding a warm wash cloth over face for a few minutes. Do this before washing face or doing facials

2. In closing your pores afterward. End your treatment by rinsing with cold, cold water. This procedure will keep unwanted stuff out by shrinking your pores. Smaller pores means less blackheads!

3. Use a makeup remover in removing make-up. Never scrub eyes to remove makeup.

Pineapple is a sticky and sweet tropical fruit that contains the
protein digesting enzyme mixture called bromelain. There are many
health benefits of pineapple and it is loaded with Vitamins and
Minerals. Plus its nutrients include potassium, calcium, vitamin C, and
fiber. Plus it is low in fat and cholesterol.

As most people who
use contact lenses would know that eye power is measured in diopters and when
the difference between the power of the left and right eye is more than four
diopters, a person may experience 'double imaging'  while using corrective
glasses and contact lenses may be recommended.

Do you have any idea how to prevent it?

One of the biggest concerns most women have has to do with
maintaining those beautiful lips once lipstick or lip gloss has been
applied. Most of us have very busy schedules, and having to reapply lip
color can be a real inconvenience. The below options and tips can help
you maintain those lips with a busy lifestyle, or for special events
like a wedding or special date.

Any ointment with natural ingredients is ideal to help your lips heal with ease. While your lips are healing, be sure not to lick your lips or get excess saliva in mouth and lip area. As your lips are almost healed, you can take a toothbrush and softly brush it across your lips to remove all dead skin. Be careful when doing this, as you don’t want to cause further damage.

If I could have just one wish,
I would wish to wake up everyday
to the sound of your breath on my neck,
the warmth of your lips on my cheek,
the touch of your fingers on my skin,
and the feel of your heart beating with mine...
Knowing that I could never find that feeling
with anyone other than you.
