5 Beauty Must-Haves for Your Bridal Clutch on Wedding Day

Aside from your wedding day being one of the most important days of your life, the reality is that it's also one of the longest. So, even if you had a full-on style team that got you ready for the actual ceremony, after the tears, the kisses and hugs, the food and champagne, if you're not careful, all of that hard work could fade.

That's why it's a good idea to have a bridal clutch to carry along with you. It's basically like having a compact "beauty survival kit". And what should go into it? Well, we've got the perfect list.

Lip gloss or lipstick. Probably, one of the first things to go on a beautiful bride's face would have to be her perfectly painted-on lips. In between the ceremony and the reception, during the wedding party receiving line and pictures, as you're dancing the night away, it's nice to have some lip gloss or lipstick close by for impromptu touch-ups.

A powder compact. No one really talks about how much the excitement of the day can make you sweat, but that doesn't make the fact any less true. Carrying along a compact that has some translucent powder in it is great for when your forehead and nose are glistening a little too much.

A small perfume. Even if you can get your makeup to last for hours on end, it's going to be pretty hard for you to smell as fresh as you did at the beginning of the day, especially if you had something like a wedding destination in Orlando and it's during the summer heat in the midst of all of the sand and salt water. So, whatever perfume that you purchased for your special day, make sure to buy a portable size of it too.

Hair pins (and a small brush). If you had your hair styled into an up-do that has your headpiece attached, after a few hours, it may start to feel too tight. If you had your hair done in a way that your veil is pinned to your flowing curls, during your reception, it might start to feel like it's too heavy. Or, if the hairstyle that you started out with starts to fade, you may need to do a quick restyle. It's easier to pull this off if you have some hair pins and a small brush (and/or comb) close by. Of all of the things that we've already discussed, these will probably be the hardest to find upon request so make sure they're in your clutch.

A compact mirror. Whether it's tear stains or lipstick on your teeth, or if you simply need to be able to see your face as you're applying powder or giving your hair a "once through" with your brush, you need to be able to see what you're doing, right? That's why it's imperative that you have a compact mirror. A lot of bridal websites feature ones that are exquisitely designed; ones that you can even personalize with your name and the date of your special day. Once you have all of these things in place, you're free to enjoy your moment in the spotlight---from sunrise to sunset.

Home remedies for sleeplessness

The day dawns beautifully for those who have had a night of good sleep. But the same day drags on for those who have spent a disturbing, sleepless night. Sleep is a biological necessity even as eating and drinking are. Sufficient sleep renders a person normally sociable, lively and high-spirited. It’s a nature’s way of rejuvenating the person for the next day. Realize all this, and make sleep a physiological habit. The consequences of long time sleep deprivation can be very grave. Lack of sleep takes its toll on the skin and hair. It causes acne-breakouts and makes one look aged and haggard beyond years. Experts opine that during sleep as our metabolic rate falls, blood goes to those areas which need the most repairing. This also steps up the production of collagen and keratin, which aid the regeneration of skin cells and help resist premature ageing. So for a younger looking and a problem free skin you need to have a good quality of sleep every night.

Get rid of head lice with these home remedies

Lice infestation is such a bothersome, distracting and embarrassing problem. Surely everyone harbors them at one time or the other. It is usually common among school children but soon spreads to other members of the family. Contrary to popular belief, it is not a sign of poor hygiene, as lice are not fussy whether they lay their eggs in clean or dirty hair. But yes, a dirty scalp can well serve as a perfect breeding ground for these tiresome creatures. Lice get transferred easily from child to child owing to the close contact of heads, during play, while sitting together or by sharing caps. Though there are many chemical and herbal over-the-counter preparations to remove lice, it is better to refrain from using them for they might also remove a good bit of your hair, while others could have a drying effect on the hair.  There are many home-remedies which do work well but the age-old method of regular combing with a close-toothed comb on all counts, is the most eff...
