October 23, 2017 No Comments

I have worn glasses for several years, and I only started wearing makeup within the past seven years or so. I was a bit of a tomboy when I was younger, and only played with makeup from time to time. But the dilemma I face now is how to wear eye makeup that doesn’t make me look like I’m hiding two black eyes behind my glasses.

They carefully lined their eyes with kohl black eyeliner […]

October 20, 2017 No Comments

The lazy days of summer are over, and the change of seasons provides a great opportunity to rethink and restart your fitness regimen.

Most people make “exercise” a part of their New Years’ resolutions, and most of them fall off the wagon within a month or two.

But if you set daily, achievable goals to […]
