5 Beauty Must-Haves to Pack in Your Suitcase

Every woman wants to look her best at all times, even when she is traveling. While your regular makeup routine may include enough items to fill a salon, when you hit the road, bringing along your entire arsenal of beauty supplies just isn't an option (unless you are prepared to pay for the extra baggage fees). Don't panic; you can look amazing and only pack a few beauty items.

Here's a look at five essential products to bring on your travels:

BB Cream: Blemish balms, more affectionately referred to as a "BB cream," has taken the beauty world by storm, and for good reason: They provide a host of benefits for the skin. This cream acts as a moisturizer, an SPF, a counselor, and evens out skin tone. With one product, you can get the benefit of at least four different products! Now that is a beauty product worth traveling with.

Pressed Face Powder: Traveling can easily give a glossy, undesirable sheen. With a pressed face powder, you can keep that shine away. Why go for a pressed powder over a loose one? Because you won't have to worry about opening up your bag in your well-priced, cheap hotel to find that your loose powder exploded all over everything, and it's much easier to apply, especially when you are on the road - or on the rails or in the air.

An Eye Shadow Palette: You can travel light and still give yourself shadow color options, thanks to an eye shadow palette. This palette features a selection of colors so you'll have choices, yet it is compact enough to travel easily.

Mascara: Even without any other product on your face, mascara can automatically give you a more polished, put-together look. It defines the lashes and opens the eyes, giving you an instant lift. A waterproof formula is a good pick while traveling because it won't rub off, even when you doze off on your flight.

Lip Gloss: Keep your lips soft and supple while adding a little tint of color with lip gloss. Choose a formula that has staying power so you don't have to constantly reapply. If you feel like you need a little pop of color on your face, you can even put a little bit on your checks and rub it in to act as a blush.

Talk about being innovative!

Travel light and look fantastic at the same time with these five beauty products.

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...
