Remember when you were a teenager and your 30’s seemed so far off? People would tell you to stay out of the sun, wash your face every night and use a moisturizer religiously less you run the risk of developing fine lines and wrinkles once you get into your 30’s. Well, flash forward and here you are in your 30’s. And, just like you can no longer dress the same as a teenager, your beauty routine needs to differ as well.

It may feel like spring is a long way off, but in about a month winter will officially be over.  Spring is the time of year when your hands finally emerge from the confines of mittens and gloves.  Those dry, chapped hands and brittle nails will soon be on display, so now is the time to start moisturizing regularly, if you aren’t already.  You want your hands to be in their best condition because come April, you’ll be anxious to show off these hot nail polish colors.  Here are some fantastic nail polish colors that work on any skin tone.

What’s one of the first things that people notice about you? Could it be your smile? Perhaps, but if you have yellow or stained teeth, it won’t matter how nice your smile is, because that’s what people will see first.

Having white teeth portrays a certain image. Right or wrong, it gives the impression that you are clean, put together and intelligent; that you are probably someone people would want to get to know. Think about it, if you were trying to buy a house, would you choose a realtor with stained or yellowing teeth? For those of you in the work force, a white smile is important for career advancement.

You have a date, the perfect dress, the most fabulous pair of shoes and somewhere to be – a holiday party.  You’re ready to go, but are you?  Have you thought about your nails and makeup?  A holiday party calls for kicking up your makeup routine a notch.  This is a time when your day to day look just isn’t quite special enough.  It’s the holiday season and if ever there’s a time for a bit of shimmer, it’s now. 

These cold fall and winter months can really wreak havoc on our skin!  If we don’t take preventative measures to keep our skin hydrated and protected it can become painfully dry and itchy.  Once your skin gets raw, red and cracked, it can take several weeks for it to heal.  Rather than suffer though the winter with dry skin, follow these tips and your skin will stay soft and smooth all season long.

We all want thick, shiny, healthy hair, but very few of us are lucky enough to have naturally luscious locks.  Instead, we try all hair shampoos, conditioners, styling products and tools that promise to deliver these results. 

Every woman wants smooth shiny hair.  We’re just not all lucky enough to have been born with it.  We all can, however, achieve this look easily and inexpensively by following a few basic hair care tips.  Who wants to spend a fortune at the salon or on pricy hair beauty products if you don’t have to?

When you hear the word smoky eye, what comes to your mind?  Smudged kohl pencil, dark gray shadow and tons of mascara?  If that’s your image, then it’s no wonder if you are intimidated to try this look.  Nobody wants their eye makeup to resemble two big shiners. 

Over half the population suffers from dandruff at some point, and for many people it’s a lifelong battle. Try these tips for dealing with dandruff and have one less thing to worry about.

If you’re like me, you have a drawer filled with makeup that is either rarely used or has never seen the light of day.  You think, “Perhaps I’ll save that blue eye shadow for a costume party or for the day it makes a miraculous comeback.” 

Don’t hold your breath.  The makeup that sits in your drawer – including your everyday staples – has a shelf life, just like any other beauty product.
