New colors to try for eyes and lips

This years makeup techniques and beauty looks for Fall are easy to master. Shimmering, metalic eyeshadows with vamp bold lips.

Fashion Designers for their Fall, and Winter runways had used bold colors for lips and soft cold eye shadows to emphasize dreamy, sophisticated eyes, framed with dark bold eyeliner.
Bold Color lips like Maybelline’s Color Sensational Loaded Bold lipstick, and Urban Decay Vice lipstick in Venom.
Powder blue eye make up was created by either a combination of three shades of white, teal, and silver. Or M.A.C Chromacake’s two color combinations of Cyan and Pure White.

Breakfast = Thinking better and performing better

We are skipping breakfast, and mostly ending up with a cup of coffee before starting our day.

Eating  breakfast balances and replenishes our blood sugar in the morning, which helps our muscles and brain to work better.

Our health depends on where we live

Flowers and ornamental plants have a positive effect on our moods, and our state of mind.
People that live near a park feel happier, and healthier than people who live in a city.
They feel less stressed and have a healthier style of living. Having a park close to were we live or where we work is an inexpensive alternative to gym membership, and being around green spaces with flowers and trees lower our stress level, and increase our energy level.
So next time on your way to work pick up a green plant or an arm full of your favorite flowers for your desk, and Let it be a small reminder of beauty outdoors.

Cosmos

IMG_7619.JPGThe reappearance of the crescent moon after the new moon; the return of the Sun after a total eclipse, the rising of the Sun in the morning after its troublesome absence at night were noted by people around the world; these phenomena spoke to our ancestors of the possibility of surviving death. Up there in the skies was also a metaphor of immortality.
