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

intime said...

use olive oil as a deep conditioner

arrowheadmac said...

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.

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.

denyse said...

Drink lots of water and get as much sleep as you can.

eluckstead said...

When working at the computer, watch your posture, and take periodic stretch breaks.

imaclutz89 said...

Pluck your eyebrows only once every two weeks. Do not pluck stray hairs in between.

Use makeup that compliments your natural coloring. The fad shade may not look good on you--but there will be a better choice.

Karen said...

Vitamins daily, lots of water, plenty of sleep and try to stay calm especially when u are eating - remember food is fuel :)

denyse said...

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.

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.

denyse said...

sue s said...

Olive Oil for your hair. It is the best intensive conditioner!

iggysaysno said...

health tip: get a dog... they'll keep you active!

Anonymous said...

an easy way to get a little exercise is to park far away from the Mall entrance and walk briskly.

okaat said...

use baby oil to remove makeup at bedtime, not only does it take the makeup off but works as a over night moisturizing agent.

eluckstead said...

Dry, puffy eyes? Cool them with cucumber slices. Or frankly, potato slices work just as well, they just smell different!

imaclutz89 said...

Do not change facial cleansers often. It weakens your skin and makes them more prone to breakouts.

TurQ1968 said...

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!

arrowheadmac said...

Friuts and vegetables are a must! Eat 3 to 5 servings daily.

Karen said...

Fruits and Veggies :)

denyse said...

If you eat at least one fruit and veggie with every meal, not only will you get your total in that food category, but you will eat less fattening foods.

ZESTYWONDERLAND said...

I found that Baby Wash removes all makeup even waterproof!
I by the equate brand & it cleans my face of all makeup & leaves it soft.

For a quick toner use hand sanatizer gel. It will tone, kill germs & has vitiam E in it!

If you eat three fruits a day, your appetite will start to decrease and you'll eat less. This will allow you to lose weight in a healthy way.

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 would love the Carmindy or Bobbi Brown books. Either one would be awesome.

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.

artmarcia said...

The basics--drink lots of water, get enough sleep and try to walk three miles at least three times per week.

If you can't find your lip balm, just use some Vaseline on your lips.

I would love either the book by Carmindy or Bobbi Brown. Both of them sound great!!

/\Heather/\ said...

If you can't see yourself going outside to run or walk, just put some ankle weights on and walk up and down your stairs for ten minutes. It's amazing how much of a workout that can be...and it'll work your thighs and butt!

I'd love to win the Juicing, Fasting, and Detoxing For Life book.

esther said...

Let your hair dry naturally whenever possible and time allows to give it a rest from blow drying that often damages your hair.

darbyscloset said...

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

Drink plenty of green tea! If you need to sweeten it, use Agave - it is all natural and has a nice light flavor.

Thanks, Angela
