Eat Healthy Fats
Of course not all fats are created equal, you will need to consume healthy fats in order to derive the most benefits. Why should healthy fats be included in your diet? The body is made of numerous cells which in turn are made up of a membrane of fat.
Fat helps to lubricate joints, promote proper cell function, metabolize fat-soluble vitamins and is the key to having gorgeous healthy skin as well as hair. Some examples of good fat foods would be: seeds, raw nuts, salmon and avocados. It is also possible to cook with healthy oils such as flax, coconut and olive oil.
Seeing Blue
Beauty Quickie: Making your eyes pop as well as look more alluring is as simple as putting down the brown and black eyeliner. Line eyes with blue eyeliner to give peepers a bigger and brighter appearance. The blue tint will make the whites of your eyes appear brighter thus giving you dazzling, seductive eyes.
Beauty Sleep
The number one way to look beautiful is completely free yet many women still fail to get the all important 7-8 hours of beauty sleep. Busy schedules and obligations can make getting rest seem like one of life’s greatest feats. However, here are a few reasons to give you motivation to hit the sack.
Not getting enough sleep can lead to bags as well as dull and sagging skin. This occurs because lack of sleep causes blood vessels to dilate which in turn creates dark eye circles. A lack of sleep will literally age you quicker than you are naturally supposed to age. If that is not scary enough you must remember that sleep is a time for the skin to repair, restore and re-balance. Therefore, get your rest to maintain a youthful appearance.

Travel Monday: Help! I’m Wrinkled and I need a Iron!
Traveling the world and seeing the sights can be fun beyond words, especially if you remembered to pack everything that you needed to make the trip more enjoyable. Vacation or not most of us want to look our best, who knows we might just get our groove back right? Therefore, what can be done if you’re in a pinch when it comes to walking the streets of your destination location wrinkle-free?
A good alternative to a regular iron is using a flat iron on low heat to iron your fashions. Always start at a lower heat and gradually adjust the heat up for really unruly wrinkles. Make sure the flat iron is clean and free of any oils (because let’s face it we use it for our hair LOL) before beginning.
