Hair today Gone Tommorrow

Balding is not something anyone would look forward to. Even though we are unable to stop aging we can help ourselves when it comes to hair loss.

Our hair does get thinner as we age and more for some than others but with today's medications and creams etc we may be able to slow this down.

I have looked into many hair loss remedies and have found some that are better than others in how they say the can slow down hair loss and some even say they will help your existing hair grow more and stronger. I do not know about that but have heard of some of the good some of them do.

Eyelash Extensions Can Transform Your Eyes

By Annmarie Goodman


Getting ready for a night out can entail a massive amount of prep work in the form of showers, shaving, and all manner of makeup application. When it comes to making up the face, many women rightly focus on their eyes. Whether or not you believe them to be the windows to the soul, you realize that making them as glamorous as possible is the key to having a properly made up face. With the holiday season beginning, there will be a whirlwind of parties and staying wide-eyed through all the nights spent drinking with friends look into getting eyelash extensions.

Yes, extensions for your lashes and if that sounds absolutely ridiculous know that it was one of the fastest growing procedures in the cosmetic business. This is due, largely in part, to the fact that once you have seen a woman with these extensions your envy will have you running to your nearest technician. Instead of going through tubes of mascara in an attempt to create full and long lashes, extensions don't require you to put anything on your lashes unless you want exceptional drama.

Any woman who is a slave to mascara can espouse her favorite brands and will defend the vehemently. This is because achieving the perfect length and arch is actually difficult to produce. Getting dramatic results invariably involves many, many coats of mascara that by the end of the night find a way to clump your lashes together in a sticky mess.

Thick lashes have a way of making you seem more awake and so with these extensions you will look wide eyed and ready for your day with when night falls, one or two coats of any mascara will have you playing the part of the glamour goddess. For just a small investment, your eyelashes can become more lush and expressive for up to three months.

If you think to yourself that false eyelashes are the same thing then you simply have not worn fake eyelashes very often. The application process is especially cumbersome with many people having to take them off and reapply more tacky glue at least three times. Then, as the night wears on you can find the lashes coming undone making you nervous for most of the evening.

Eyelash extensions don't look fake and are put on in such a way as to appear as natural as possible. No one will realize why you appear to look so much better, just that you do. You can purchase synthetic or even human hair lashes and a technician will bond these hairs to each individual eyelash. You won't even need mascara and these extensions can handle swimming, showering, and exercising!

There are products on the market, both prescription and over the counter that purport to make your very own eyelashes grow. The side effects associated with the former can act as a large turn off and the excessive daily application of the latter makes the options seems a massive waste of time.

With extensions you have the look of natural lashes because each individual hair is crafted with a realistic curve. Also you are not required to do any sort of upkeep and makeup, in the form of mascara, is only needed if you want even more drama than your eyes will already possess. The holiday season goes by in a whirlwind of parties that can leave you drained, but with this one step you can look as refreshed and wide-eyed as if you'd spent an hour in front of the mirror.

Ways One Can Take To Prevent Bad Breath

By Lina Beckham


The bad odor that comes from the mouth, halitosis, is most times quite embarrassing. Know that the bad breath is a sign that something is not right with your health. It often comes as mild halitosis but if the issue becomes more permanent, then it should be checked by a doctor. It could be a sign of intra oral or even external oral problems.

The problems that are intraoral can give the mouth a bad smell which most instances are out of poor hygiene, periodonititis, stagnated food in the mouth, or teeth cavities. Some other cases occur because of diet that consist of garlic, strong smelling foods, raw onions and so forth. Xerostomia which is another name for dry mouth is another culprit, tonsillitis, other diseases such as cancer, kidney disorders and diabetes too can cause the same.

Other conditions like pneumonia, sinuses, bronchitis and gastritis can also be to blame. The condition is easy to test even at home, which you do by covering the nose and mouth by the hand then exhaling. The bad smell is normally very strong in the morning.

The reason it happens is due to less saliva in the mouth while one is asleep. The smelly mouth becomes fresh as soon as the teeth are brushed each morning, but of course if you are a smoker the halitosis will definitely continue.

This happens because of less salivary flow during the night while you are asleep and it simply disappears after the teeth have been brushed. A long duration of smoking will also cause halitosis.

It is good to go for regular checkups at your dentist's to find out the cause of bad breath. In case of constant halitosis, you would have to keep a list of foods you eat and the medications which you normally consume. Also it would be prudent to inform your dentist if you have recently had any surgeries that would be of significance. In case the dentist thinks there is nothing intraoral, he may refer you to a general medical practitioner to do more tests.

Once the right diagnostics have been obtained, the right treatment plan will be given even though it is still important that you embark on proper oral hygiene to deter any dental problems. It also helps in making the breath fresh. All it takes is to brush your teeth twice each day, particularly after every meal to reduce the bad breath.

The experts in dental hygiene have advised that you brush your tongue too when cleaning the mouth as bacteria is bound to inhabit the area between the papillae. When you use the mouth rinses, it provides extra protection from microorganisms. Make the habit of using the dental flosses to reach the areas in between the teeth. Tobacco smoking and chewing is extra dangerous so get your GP to help with advice on how to stop it.

How To Be A Strong Woman

By Donna Dellamorte


It is amazing the number of tricks women in relationships often have up their sleeves to make themselves more appealing to men. They are able to do near impossible things in the name of love.

What they need to know is that being an alluring lady takes much more than just being a diva wearing rocking stilettos because what you actually require is the art of charming men. Here are some of the points you need to know in order to ensure maximum success.

The first and foremost thing is to be able to shut your mouth and stop thinking loudly: Men do not like to be bored with future plans and how you are going to do this and that.

Secondly, have some self respect: Women with enough self respect will not let anyone walk all over them because they can say no to certain things. Do not accept to be a doormat or people pleaser, "yes" girl. This will not make others like you more and it is not pleasant.

The third point is that you should learn to loosen up a bit more: Being a stuff shirt does not make you desirable but it actually makes you boring. Go out and have fun or get a life as they commonly say.

Fourthly, girls can also sweat: By this it does not mean the dirty sweat, but the one you get from working out and living healthy. People will only take you seriously if you have taken care of yourself properly. It will also boost your self confidence.

The fifth point is about being secure within you: This means men do not like ladies who are too clingy and so being self independent is a good step towards a stable relationship. It shows that you are secure in the relationship.

Beautiful girls do not need to be empty headed. Sexy is not in the looks, no not at all. It is in the mind. If you like to be considered as desirable and be able to have the allure for men, then go by these rules.

Being Optimistic - Important To Find Your Soulmate

By Aaron Jones


The saying goes that a "good man is hard to find," and that is especially true for many women. It's usually not hard to attract a man but the problem is that some women are too selective or not selective at all.

You could chalk this up to a woman's self-esteem issues. If a woman is consistently picking men who are wrong for her she could probably use some therapy. But if that's not the case for you, here are some suggestions that may help you find the man of your dreams.



Probably the best thing you can do for yourself is to adopt a positive attitude and look for someone who is also positive. Men are usually attracted to women who look at life with the glass half full. On the other hand, it is possible to get a date even if you have a bad attitude, but most likely it will be with another person who feels the same way about life. 



Additionally, being positive will help you to see the world in a different light. It will aid you in taking yourself less seriously and getting more fun out of life.



When you're on your manhunt, don't be afraid to flirt. I'm not talking about doing anything trashy, just a casual hair toss, eye contact and maybe an arm brush. You don't have to be overt, just open.

You know the kind I'm talking about - catching and holding someone's eye, crossing your legs, tossing your hair back as you laugh and licking your lips as you chat with someone you're interested in. Don't take it too far. He'll likely misinterpret your meaning and you will regret it.



Probably the most important thing you can do is just get out there. Make the effort to get off your couch and meet people. Be active in your search; don't expect men to come to you. If you can't get over your fear of failure and rejection you'll probably never find love. 


It's important to remember that most people don't marry the first person they date or sleep with. It takes time to get to know someone so don't decide immediately if someone is right or wrong for you. Get to know them and keep at it until you meet your soul mate.
