«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 304 of 304 Newer› Newest»When out in the sun, don't forget to protect your lips. Wear an SPF chapstick. I tend to forget this & get yucky blisters..ewww
use olive oil as a deep conditioner
Protect exposed skin from the sun with a sunscreen of at least 15 SPF. If possible, avoid being in the sun between 11:00 a.m. and 4:00p.m.
Get enough sleep and drink plenty of water :)

Always wear sunscreen when at the beach --- if you want a tan still wear a lower SPF so that you tan through it but not burn. I would love to win the Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual. thanks for the contest.
Drink lots of water and get as much sleep as you can.
When working at the computer, watch your posture, and take periodic stretch breaks.
Pluck your eyebrows only once every two weeks. Do not pluck stray hairs in between.
work out during commercials.
I would be happy to receive any of the books
Also take care of your teeth!
breathe fresh air, live one life one day at a time and reduce your stress.
Less is ALWAYS more!

Use makeup that compliments your natural coloring. The fad shade may not look good on you--but there will be a better choice.
Vitamins daily, lots of water, plenty of sleep and try to stay calm especially when u are eating - remember food is fuel :)

Always use an SPF of 15 or better, even if it's not sunny.

"Juicing, Fasting and Detoxing for Life" by Cherie Calbom
Drink 8 glasses of water a day!
Never snack on anything but raw veggies-no dip. Your taste for them will increase dramatically, you'll be fuller and healthier. I would like the detox, or the seven steps book.

take time for yourself every day. Breathe deeply, enjoy the sunshine and the beauty of nature.
Love yourself and go natural.
Exercise at least 3 times a week.
My makeup tip is blend, blend, blend. I hate seeing women with really obvious makeup. The only time this is good is eye makeup at night.
drink lots of water and take vitamins daily.
Olive Oil for your hair. It is the best intensive conditioner!
health tip: get a dog... they'll keep you active!
an easy way to get a little exercise is to park far away from the Mall entrance and walk briskly.
use baby oil to remove makeup at bedtime, not only does it take the makeup off but works as a over night moisturizing agent.
Dry, puffy eyes? Cool them with cucumber slices. Or frankly, potato slices work just as well, they just smell different!
Do not change facial cleansers often. It weakens your skin and makes them more prone to breakouts.
My exercise tip is to add it into everyday events. Do squats while you wash and rinse your hair in the shower. Do shoulder shrugs or rolls while stopped at red lights. Balance on one foot while folding laundry. Squeeze a ball between your thighs while sitting at the computer. It all adds up.
Either of the Never Say Diet books would be great!
Friuts and vegetables are a must! Eat 3 to 5 servings daily.
Fruits and Veggies :)
ktgonyea at gmail.com
Get at least 8 full hours of sleep a night.
Make sure to keep your sheets and pillow cases freshly cleaned! It helps your skin stay clear.

Always apply petroleum jelly to your lips before you start applying your makeup. This will leave your lips feeling soft and supple by the time you are ready to leave.

I hate to exercise and will make any excuse not to do it. So, I've been walking my dog daily. She depends on me to take her so there's no excuse not to do so and I get some exercise in.
You can use baby oil to remove your makeup and also as a substitute for shaving cream on your legs. Thanks for the contest!

If you get hungry and need a snack, why not grab some grapes, apple slices, or cherry tomatoes, which provide that healthy to snack on instead of the cookies or chips. Try to eat all the veggies and fruits you can! They fill you up more quickly and they are way low in calories than the alternatives mentioned. I would love either Get Positively Beautiful by Carmindy or Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual by Bobbi Brown.
The basics--drink lots of water, get enough sleep and try to walk three miles at least three times per week.

My tip is to stay well hydrated and make sure you drink lots of water. I would especially love to win the Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual. Thanks for the great contest!
Did we pick a winner here yet? If not I'd like the book you have pictured in your side bar the camary book (sp?). My tip, if your hair is dirty and you don't have time to wash it, sprinkle some baby powder on your brush and then thru your hair. This will remove or soak up the grease build up.
Also if you have static cling in your hair, rub a dryer sheet lightly over your head and the static will be gone!
Thanks so much,
Darby
