Natural Beauty Regiment

May 19, 2012 By: Jocelyn Iyog Category: Beauty, Tips & how to’s

Everybody wants to be beautiful. But beauty always has a price. The most evident price is what you pay at the salon or the products you buy. There is however a more costly payment that does not appear until years later. It is the impact on health. Traditional beauty products are almost always loaded with men-made chemicals that have long-term effects when used regularly. Men-made chemicals, though they can be effective, are usually harsher on the body. The result is accelerated ageing, loss in skin tone, wrinkles…etc. Some people develop a hypersensitivity to these products so that they no longer can use normal cosmetics. A natural beauty regimen is softer and gives the body the relaxing respite that makes it more beautiful. Here are some essential components of a natural beauty regimen:

Aromatherapy
While it can be used for many other purposes, aromatherapy is also used for beautification. With aromatherapy, the skin is kept clear, the body becomes smoother, and the hair is encouraged to flourish. Essential oils can be used to treat wrinkles, pimples, cellulite, and dry skin. Some essential oils that are commonly used are lavender, tea tree, and sandalwood.

Natural Shampoos
Exposure of the hair to the chemicals contained in shampoo contributes to hair loss in the long run. It is It is therefore imperative to look for natural shampoos without any addition of chemicals.

London Fashion

May 12, 2012 By: Jocelyn Iyog Category: Beauty, Women’s Fashion

Everyone thinks of Paris as the fashion capital of the world, and perhaps it is. After all, that is where the legendary Coco Chanel, Christian Dior, Yves St. Laurent, and Cristobal Balenciaga made their amazing creations. And one of the first things people notice when walking around Paris is how magnificently well dressed everyone is. The Parisian rule of thumb is to buy fewer, higher quality items that last for years, and it’s a good strategy.
But frankly Paris can be intimidating to women who think outside the shoebox. These women should visit London.
London has an edgier, funkier vibe than Paris, and Londoners manage to make things work that you’d never imagine, like a sequined swing top over ripped vintage jeans and rubber rain boots. For those of us who love fashion but don’t have the budget for a lot of new clothing, Nothing Hill is a fantastic neighborhood to shop in London. It’s full of thrift shops that sell some fabulous, one-of-a-kind garments, and the environment is the opposite of intimidating.
Londoners are very accepting of real personal style, even if it defies convention. For people who really “own” their look, London is a great place to go, not just for the great shopping, but for the great “catwalks” that double as city pavements.funky-fashion

Mixing Nail Polish

April 16, 2012 By: Jocelyn Iyog Category: Beauty, Tips & how to’s

The process of mixing nail polish is no different from the steps an artist takes when mixing paint colors. The only difference is you’re working with a slightly different medium. The artist works with larger quantities and is more accustomed to the process than you are. To get started, you will need a few toothpicks, two small fine tipped paint brushes and a thick piece of paper or some cardboard. Next, pour a few drops of the polish colors onto the cardboard and use the toothpicks and brushes to blend the colors. Then just let your imagination and your eyes be your guide.

Once you get the right color blend, you can mix yourself up a batch and store it in a clean bottle for future use.
Before mixing up a big batch, however, test the color on your nail to be sure that it really is what you want. Many times, what looks good on paper or on cardboard doesn’t look the same on your nails. It may be necessary for you to make a few adjustments before you are done. Just make sure you take notes of the colors you use and the ratio of each so you can mix up another batch when that one is gone.

If you don’t want to be bothered with the muss and fuss of mixing nail polish the way artists do, then you can try this method:
• Apply at least two coats of a dark base color;
• Make sure each coat is thoroughly dry before applying the next;
• Apply one layer of a lighter colored nail polish;
• For a shimmery effect, apply a metallic shade before adding the top coat.

Once you get the hang of mixing nail colors, either on a palette or on your nails you will be doing it all the time, and your friends will be constantly asking where you bought that fabulous nail polish.
