Fitness Tip: Dine Out Like a Pro
Dining out with friends and family is a fun and exciting experience if you’re not worried about your waistline. When you are trying to maintain your fit body or working towards shaping one the last thing you want to do is derail yourself after all your hard work. Therefore, how can you dine out without all the guilt?
When browsing the menu avoid items that have been battered, fried or made with tons of butter. Instead opt for food choices that have been prepared by being steamed, grilled or boiled. Moreover, many dishes come doused in dressings or sauces that can pack hidden calories. Ask your server to bring any sauces or dressings on the side so that you are in the driver’s seat with how much of the liquidity goodness is actually included on your meal of choice.
Contour Like A Pro
Beauty Quickie: If you have shaky hands or sometimes you can not always guage exactly where to place your makeup correctly there are many products found in the home that can help guide you. To contour cheeks properly, take a spoon and place the indented or inside part against the apple of your cheeks. You can locate the apple or roundest part of your cheeks by smiling. Once you have the spoon in place you can then use the bottom edge to guide you in creating the perfect contoured look.
How Soon to Apply Moisturizer After Cleansing
Beauty Quickie: How soon should you apply moisturizer after cleansing your face or the rest of your skin? Aim to moisturize your skin as soon as possible, preferably within 60 seconds. After a minute dry air will literally begin to pull moisture from the skin. During winter, air tends to be even drier than other seasons which could only increase any dryness experienced. Keep skin smooth and supple by making a point to add moisture right after washing your face or showering.
De-Clump Your Lashes
Beauty Quickie: Always keep an extra set of mascara wands on hand to take the clump out of your lashes. Mascara formulas have come a long way, but still even the best ones will need a helping hand every now and then. Before your mascara completely dries take a clean mascara wand and comb through your eyelashes. Not only will this ensure that your lashes do not clump, but will create a fuller more lush eye look.
