The one item I can't live without is...
Cetaphil

    AVON's new Ultra Moisture Rich Lipstick. When I applied it first it looked as if it were applied professionally. It is sooo smooth, it seeks out dry patches and seals in moisture. Your lips will stay saturated with vibrant colour for hours. It also has SPF 15 which is so important for us here in Australia. I have long and thick lashes so what I look for usually in the mascara is something that will make them look even thicker that's why I buy AVON's Instant Curl, that curls, thickens and defines the lashes. Oh and they cost so little, the lipstick is about US$7 and the mascara costs about US$13.

  2. Make up in general these days has a SPF which does protect your skin. It's the mineral oil in the water based(liquids) or the bismuth in the mineral ones.

    I like a fitted shirt, which Express does a good job for a cheap euro cut button down. They normally always have them on sale also.

    To make a white button down shirt more casual, wear a lacy camisole underneath which will allow you to unbutton a few buttons. Then, wear a cute necklace, not a super fancy one, just a small, stylish pendant. Roll up the sleeves a bit and wear the shirt tucked into jean shorts with a big old belt. Then wear a pair of flats

Aspirin for acne-prone skin

Aspirin has been around for a long time and its health benefits are wide and varied. Aspirin , or acetylsalicylic acid is a salicylate drug, often used as an analgesic to relieve minor aches and pains , as an antipyretic to reduce fever , and as an anti-inflammatory medication. Aspirin's greatest benefit is reducing cardiovascular events including heart attacks and strokes. According to the American Heart Assoc. virtually all women are at risk of heart disease and doctors should more strongly consider prescribing a daily aspirin for their female patients. There is growing evidence to suggest regular aspirin use may reduce cancer and dementia as well. Investigators from the Women's Health Study have reported important new findings demonstrating that aspirin reduces the risk of a first stroke in women. When given to someone immediately after a heart attack, aspirin decreases death by 25%.

Lemon as a beauty aid

The diminutive lemon is a very versatile beauty-aid and this cheap and golden-coloured fruit has excellent properties for enhancing your looks. Simple lemon-based preparations, you can mix in your own kitchen, will surely bring a dramatic transformation in your beauty regimen.

Aloevera, the wonder herb

Of all the herbs available in the kitchen garden, aloe is perhaps the richest in healing properties and has been rightly named the “first-aid” plant. It has moisturizing and emollient properties and is used in cosmetic creams, sun-lotions, shaving creams and face packs. It can easily be cultivated as a house-plant in a sunny warm spot with good drainage. Cosmetologists mix aloe with several other herbs and draft fancy names for it. Then these “herbal” avatars are sold at exorbitant prices. Growing a plant and using fresh gel is much more effective than bottled gel, simply because it is alive and therefore is more potent. It is the only plant whose extract is applied directly from plant to face in its natural and purest form.

I Tried a Headache Balm and Ended Up with Rashes

I do have this habit of slathering pain balms whenever I have a headache. But never did I get a skin reaction or rashes from it. It so happened that I had an extremely severe headache a few months ago.  The pain was so unbearable that I gingerly reached out for a pain balm kept on my bedside table and kept on slathering it repeatedly all over the temples of my forehead. Next morning, after I woke up, I found that the skin on my forehead was peeling off and worse there were red rashes!  This was the first time in my life that I was getting rashes from applying a pain balm on my forehead !  I have never had any pain balm allergy or as such!  Side-effects due to application of a pain balm  was something I've never come across all these years! I usually use pain balms of reputed companies – my usual favourites are Tiger balm, Amrutanjan, Zandu balm and Sloan’s balm.  This time I had used Tiger balm. But why did it  give me rashes now, when I had used it...
