Vibrant Eyes


Have you been deprived in the sleep department? Are you starting to get bags or circles around your usually radiant eyes? Although, we can’t help you in the sleep department here is a quick remedy so your eye appearance has to suffer no longer!
For swollen puffy eyes, use cucumber slices. Not only are they cool, they are also packed with silica, which is known to reduce inflammation. Chamomile tea bags can be put over the eyes to reduce dark circles. Remember that dark circles and puffy eyes can also be caused by food intolerances.

How to Keep Flawless Skin all Year-long


Want flawless skin but none of those cleansers seem to work for you? Try some of these diet changes to see clear result.

·       No White Stuff:  Say goodbye to white breads, pasta, and potatoes. Introduce whole wheat in your diet to see skin improvements.
  • Say Yes to Seafood: Fish with lots of essential fatty acids fight off acne. Try salmon or tuna as a meat replacement and kiss those blemishes goodbye.
  • Add Olive Oil: We're all afraid of fat, but not getting enough of it can cause the skin to break out. Sprinkle olive oil on salad to help your body absorb Vitamin A, which helps the skin prevent aging.

Never Too Late For That Flat Belly



The summer is almost over, but it is never too late to get that flat belly that you have always wanted!
Did you know there are many foods that actually work to reduce belly fat? Well here are a few listed
below!

1.     Raspberries (as well as strawberries and blueberries) are packed with fiber, which keeps you feeling full longer (and—ahem—more regular). Plus they are packed with vitamin C, which is good for your immune system as well as your skin.
2.  Kale is a natural anti-inflammatory; it helps reduce bloat and it also revs up the metabolism because it is a flavanoid Eat up!
3. Oatmeal maintains blood sugar levels so you don’t crash and binge. Plus it’s full of fiber so it will keep you satiated.
4.  Low-fat yogurt not only has calcium, but it is also a pro-biotic that fights fat storage and prevents bloat. 
5.   Almonds are packed with healthy fats that reduce food cravings while building muscle. Consider almonds the ultimate power snack.
6.  Salmon is full of omega-3 fatty acids, which help bump up your metabolism so your body burns fat faster and more efficiently. 
7. Watermelon is—just as you expected—full of water (about 92% to be exact). It actually helps flush extra water from your system, which in turn reduces puffiness. 
8. Garlic is a magical thing. It helps reduce fat in the liver, it detoxifies and it lessens bloating. To maximize its benefits, take a few fresh slivers of garlic and sandwich them between two thinly sliced apple wedges and smear them with a little honey. Eat this before bed to reap all the benefits.
9.   Avocado is loaded with lots of healthy fats that burn fat while providing your body with energy.  
10. Quinoa is a magical whole grain that is packed with protein (11 grams for just a half cup) and fiber so it keeps you feeling full longer.  

Hopefully these help! Tell us some of your favorite foods or recipes that you use to demolish that unwanted belly fat!

Quick Tattoo Concealing


Whether you are preparing for an interview or getting ready for your big day, concealing a tattoo can be a pain. If this is your dilemma, here is a quick three-step process to temporarily conceal tattoos that many celebrities use.

(1) Dab a heavier concealer (like LancĂ´me Maquicomplet Concealer, $27.50) that matches your skin tone over your ink as well as an inch around it.
(2) Then rip a makeup sponge in half (the rough edge diffuses any hard lines), and blot to blend everything in.
(3)  Mist on a spray foundation to make the coverage look seamless and give another layer of camouflage.
(4) Dust on a translucent powder with a big powder brush to set things in place.

Suggested by celeb makeup artist Mary Burton.
