Beauty Survival kit
Your Very Own Beauty Survival Kit
By Kate M. D Imperio
By Kate M. D Imperio
Whether you have the job interview of a lifetime, a hot date or merely a night out on the town, countless beauty snafus may be lurking just around the corner! Don't fall victim to some of womankind's oldest enemies instead, be ready and armed for whatever beauty blunders may await.
Different situations may call for suitable actions, so consider your destination and any possible snafus that may come up while you are there.
At a very bare minimum, your beauty survival kit should include the following:
Clear lip gloss or chapstick: No matter how kissably soft you know your lips are, it can never hurt to add some moisture and shine with a deliciously flavored lip gloss. Applying gloss in front of your date may even entice him to test out your soft and supple lips!
Dental floss and toothpick: A single strand of floss coiled up and tucked away can really save the day in case your romantic candlelit dinner for two becomes a dinner for three, if you count the broccoli between your teeth as a single entity! A toothpick may also be a good item to include for dental hygiene purposes away from home.
Mini mouthwash: Fresh breath in an instant! Just take a small swig of mouthwash after dinner or before you head out the door. Chase the taste of your lunch, dinner or even strong coffee away with a quick rinse with some minty mouthwash.
Mini trial size perfume spritzer: Freshen up anytime you like by carrying a miniature purse-sized fragrance spritzer with you. Scent is often considered the sense most tied to memory, so let your fragrance linger and leave a lasting impression wherever you go!
Hairspray or gel: Long events often leave much room for hair calamities to engage by the end of the night. If you simply can't stand to have a single hair out of place, it is in your best interests to pack a miniature bottle of hairspray or gel. Just a spritz here or a dab there will fix any potential problems before anyone else even notices!
Visine and pressed powder: Did you know that Visine doesn't just get the red out of your eyes? A tiny drop applied to a bright red blemish can often tone down the abrasive color, which can then be further diminished with a gentle blotting of pressed powder complementary to your skin tone. A concealer stick may also come in handy!
Tissues: You never know when your allergies might act up or a sudden event may cause the waterworks to spring a leak. By prepared to sop up any unexpected tears with a few tissues packed handily inside your pocketbook.
Miniature bottle of lotion: Whether dry hands or peeling skin from harsh sunburn ail you, ward off any unsightly flakes with a few drops of your favorite lotion in a travel-sized bottle. In the dire absence of hairspray or gel, you can also use a tiny bit of lotion to smooth down fly-aways and cowlicks.
For more exclusive events and outings, you may wish to include:
Extra pantyhose or at least clear nail polish: The last thing you want to deal with is a runner in your pantyhose when you're off to nail that job interview so you can get your foot in the door of your dream occupational field. Worse yet, imagine being in the bridal party with short gowns and a foot-long runner from just above your ankle to your knee! Always be prepared, even if it means stashing an extra pair of hose in your car's glove box.
Toothbrush and toothpaste: Keeping your choppers a pretty pearly white can really be a daunting task if you are on the run all the time. Why not buy an extra toothbrush and tube of toothpaste to keep with you in your car, or in your purse when you know you'll need it? Fresh breath and clean teeth can be yours all the time, even if it does mean brushing away in the office restroom!
Depending on the size of your purse, you may wish to compile your own beauty survival kit and store it all inside a zippered pouch that you can bring with you from place to place.
Keeping a number of these items, if not all of them, in your vehicle is a great idea especially if you travel a good deal. Add your own beauty items to the pouch to create the ultimate survival kit especially for you!

Nice Breasts

What Gives the Breast Its Shape?The breast consists of milk ducts and glands, surrounded by fatty tissue that provides its shape and feel. Situated beneath the breast is the pectoralis major muscle or chest muscle. Factors such as pregnancy (when milk glands are temporarily enlarged), rapid weight loss, and the effects of gravity with age combine to stretch the skin, which may cause the breast to droop or sag.
The vast majority of American women are not happy with their breasts - most of them only because the warped media images make them feel they "should" have big and perky breasts.
But normal breasts can be big, small, sagging, asymmetrical
Female breasts come in all kinds of sizes and shapes.
In fact, having asymmetrical boobs, where one is bigger than the other, is very common. Breast size also varies a lot. Some women a flat chest, but even they can breastfeed just fine, which is the function of boobs. Other women have more of a bust, and the mere weight of the breasts can cause them backaches.
According to statistics published in the Journal for Sex Research (vol. 24, pp. 177-183), almost 60% of women have the bra cup size of A or B (A-cup 15%, B-44%, C-28%, D-10%). Of course, the size is not constant but varies with pregnancy, breastfeeding, and during the menstrual cycle.
Many young people, influenced by the media, think that nice boobs have to stand nearly upright. Women tend to think that the perky big breasts are ideal and so many women (about 230,000 in the year 2003 according to American Society of Plastic Surgeons) opt for breast implants.
So it's only natural that adolescent girls worry about their breast size. Parents should tell their daughter that she is still developing and will be until about age 19. Keep emphasizing the importance of developing her mind and her inner qualities, not her body. Women who have not gotten past this adolescent phase about breasts often take drastic unnecessary measures to increase their size.
Instead of worrying about her breast size, tell her she's beautiful the way she is. Explain how inner beauty is what counts. If she's worried about how she appears to boys, tell her that any boy worth caring about, won't care about her breast size.
It's not how you look, it's how you are. Inner beauty is about self-esteem, taking care of yourself, eating right, exercising, developing one's mind, having hobbies and interests, being kind, considerate, and thoughtful of others. Inner beauty is what keeps guys interested, not breast size.
Breasts aren't the only sex appeal a woman has a nice smile, a sense of humour and a warm personality are just as attractive as a pair of 36Ds in a push-up bra.

Beautiful Sexy Legs
Besides their eyes and breasts, women's legs are a primary target for men's visual inspection. Men highly value those which are very long, with beautifully shaped calves, but not too muscular.
Beautiful legs normally have a space between ankle and calves and between calves and knees, and a small space above the touching knees. This, however, does not automatically mean that just because your legs are not like that, they are not attractive and well shaped.
Many women think that their legs are too fat or too thin. Unfortunately, the actual shape of your legs cannot be easily changed. However, with exercise you can improve muscle tone and make them look better.

Many women think that their legs are too fat or too thin. Unfortunately, the actual shape of your legs cannot be easily changed. However, with exercise you can improve muscle tone and make them look better.
How To Have Beautiful Legs:
- If your legs are too fat, lose fat by going on a sensible diet and exercise. Start a regular sport activity or go to the gym.
- Sometimes, legs may not be fat, but look heavy, because of bad circulation. Put your legs and feet up.
- If your legs are too thin, improve them with exercise. The legs can look much more attractive with better muscle tone.
Walking and bicycling are wonderful exercises for shapely legs. At the office, walk up the stairs, instead of taking the elevator! - Avoid standing for prolonged periods of time to reduce the appearance of varicose veins.
- Smooth legs look more appealing than fuzzy legs. Creams can be used as hair removers, and there are quite a number of shaving tools present in the market. But the best natural depilatory is a turmeric paste, apply it before a bath, and leave it on to dry.
- After a bath, make your skin feel good by moisturising it.
- Avoid excessive sun exposure
- Avoid baths that are too hot
- Elevate or raise your legs when sleeping
- Always finish your shower with a cold water jet on your legs
- Drink a lot

Breast Massage
Breast Massage Reduces Breast Cancer Risk
By Beverly Smith
By Beverly Smith
A recent study* of 4,700 women found that women who wore bras had an increased chance of acquiring breast cancer. It is very possible that the constant pressure that the bra puts on the breast is limiting the flow of toxins that need to be released, resulting in the increased cancer rate. Any more than a gentle amount of pressure can flatten the lymphatic vessel and stop the toxic flow from the breast.

Any more than a gentle amount of pressure can flatten the lymphatic vessel and stop the toxic flow from the breast.
The Study found the highest rate of breast cancer in those who wore bras 24 hours a day, and the lowest rate in those who never wore bras. The study suggested that women should wear their bra less than 12 hours a day.

Self Care Breast Massage
Gentle breast massage will benefit all women and lessen the risk of breast cancer.
Gentle-to-moderate kneading, rubbing, and squeezing strokes with the hands are sufficient to induce increased lymph and blood flow to the breast.
Gentle-to-moderate kneading, rubbing, and squeezing strokes with the hands are sufficient to induce increased lymph and blood flow to the breast.
How to do it?
The breast can be kneaded and squeezed by contracting the palm and fingers of the hand (somewhat like a handshake) or the breast can be rubbed and stroked using the palm and fingers of the hand using gentle-to-moderate pressure.
* Women's breasts vary considerably in texture and sensitivity to pressure. Therefore, gentle strokes should be for those who are sensitive or have softer breasts. Moderate pressure may be more effective for those with firmer-textured breasts.
* Women's breasts vary considerably in texture and sensitivity to pressure. Therefore, gentle strokes should be for those who are sensitive or have softer breasts. Moderate pressure may be more effective for those with firmer-textured breasts.
This procedure should be done at least twice a week. It can be done on bare skin, but you may find that using some vegetable oil may be more comfortable (do not use mineral-based or scented oils).
- Step One: Use your fingers to gently smooth away from the nipple. These movements travel from the nipple and directly away using no more pressure than what you would apply to your eyelid. Any more pressure would flatten the lymphatic vessel and stop the flow of toxins and fluids. Also, make this stroke slow, not fast, for it to be effective.
- Step Two: Gently massage the breast with a kneading-like motion, using lifting and pressing movements.
- Step Three: Slowly and carefully use your hands to twist the breast in a clock-wise and counterclockwise direction, being careful not to put too much tension on the breast.
- Step Four: Use both hands as shown to apply several, moderate pressure compressions to move out more pressure fluids.
Natural Breasts Care using herbs and vitamins.
Health Note: If during self-massage any lumps are felt, these lumps should always be investigated thoroughly by informing and visiting a qualified physician. If any lump is ever found, that area should NOT be massaged until a physician is consulted.
