5 Tips for Perfect Eyebrows


Eyebrows make or break a person’s face, so you better get ‘em right! Here are some tips on how to create the perfect brow:

How to Get Perfect Eyebrows

Do Not Over Pluck!

Gone are the days of having eyebrows so thin that one hair follows the next. Forget the thin or thick brow trends- always go with your natural brow shape.  Never pluck above (unless you have a wandering stray) and just pluck out the stray hairs underneath, leaving your natural arch.

Do Not Wax

Okay, you can go get your eyebrows waxed by a professional once, but only as a guide to get the perfect shape. Waxing your eyebrows pulls on the sensitive thin skin above your eye.  If you continue to wax, it will eventually result in potentially saggy lids. Continue reading “5 Tips for Perfect Eyebrows” »

Heels vs. Flats = No difference


  Heels look hot- That’s why girls wear them! But they’re so hard on the feet- which is why I decided to buy a pair of cute flats when I went shoe shopping. Do you k now how I was rewarded for making the right choice? With bloody heels and having to walk 15 of my 20 minute walk barefoot on the sidewalk. This is the 3rd time I’ve opted for flats and this has happened; so even supposed “comfy” shoes ruin your heels!   It is hard to wrap my head around the fact that we can put a man on the moon, but someone has not yet created a [cute] shoe that is comfortable from the first moment you first put it on. I know shoes “get” comfy after you break them in, but why do we have to suffer for the first 2 weeks or so!? Until then, I guess we’ll just have to stock up on our favorite adhesive bandages from our pharmacy of choice.

Top 10 Bridal Shower Games


Here are some fun games you can play at your next bridal shower!

Top 10 Bridal Shower Games

The Price is Right

Purchase 10 cleaning or household items; for instance, cleaners, polishes, detergents, soaps, etc. Set them out for everyone to see and have them guess the grand total of all items. The closest to the total price wins a prize.

Pass the Balloon

Have the party guests stand in a circle. The guests will pass the balloon around the circle to a song. The host will be in charge of the music and randomly stop it. Whoever is holding the balloon when the music stops has to sit down and can no longer play.  Keep this going until there is one person left; the last person standing wins a prize.

4 Reasons You Should Use Mineral Makeup


Mineral make-up is simply that: Minerals. You won’t find parabens, preservatives, petroleum products or talc in Mineral makeup. This makes mineral makeup great for people with acne or sensitive skin; and because it’s a mineral, it also has a calming effect on your skin.

Mineral Powder Makeup

 Glow

Since those little specs of powder are actually minerals, it makes your skin glow! (think of the shiny sand on the beach). This was the first thing I noticed when my friend bought mineral powder — her skin was just glowing!

 Mineral Powder is Ultra Lightweight

It doesn’t soak into your pores like regular foundation; it acts like shingles on a roof and stays on the outer layer of your skin. This gives it a very lightweight texture that’s not clammy or caked-on like regular foundation. It doesn’t feel like there’s anything on your face at all, and it’s perfect for the summer heat!

I Hate Being Told…


I went for an evening walk in Point Pleasant Park in Halifax, NS the other day and halfway into the park my friend squealed “AHHH a coyote!”. Not seeing anything with my own eyes, and knowing she has a slight fear of dogs to begin with, I made a point to tease her all weekend about her alleged “coyote sighting”- involving everyone I could, of course!

The following week we returned to the park. Still taunting her about her coyote sighting, I assured her that because it was daylight, the “coyotes” would not be present. At one point in the walk we had to stop for a bathroom break. While she was in the bathroom, I decided to read some signs posted nearby and what did I see:
