    Smart Home Solutions -

    Dust-proof your windowsills - A study at the University of Arizona in Tuscon found that windowsills are the top spot for household mold and dust. Prevent allergens from settling on clean sills by rubbing the surface with a white candle. The wax film seals the trim and stops moisture and dirt from seping into cracks, so you can breathe easy all summer!

    Rub out rust stains instantly - Tire of the ugly rings that your shaving cream can leaves on the rim of the bathtub? Sprinkle 1 tsp. salt on the fleshy side of a lemon half and rub it over the rusty area. The citric acid in the juice dissolves the iron oxide stain, while the abrasive action of the salt dislodges stuck-on grit.

    The ink-spot eraser in your refrigerator - No need to panic if your pen nicks the arm of your leather chair as you jot down a note. Simply saturate the corner of a paper towel with milk and blot until the stain disappears. Then wipe clean with a damp sponge. The milk's enzymes break down the oil that bonds ink to the fabric. Plus, the milk's protein moisturizes the leather, making it as soft as ever.

    Hair Style for ur face -

    OUND FACE : Part hair in the center - it'll drape down both sides to cover up full cheeks, visually elongating your face.

    SQUARE FACE : Part your hair on the side - it'll sweep over your face to soften angles for a smoother, more oval look.

    HEART SHAPED FACE : A chin-length cut helps balance wide cheekbones and a narrow chin.

    LONG FACE : Shorten your forehead with bangs - long, side-swept ones are super stylish.

    OVAL FACE<!-- / message --> : Show off a well-proportioned face by pulling bangs or a small front section of hair straight back; secure it with a pretty clip. <!-- sig -->

    The elixir of life – water
    A large number of health problems can be kept at bay, if one would follow the simple advice of drinking water regularly. Health provides you an update on this elixir of life – water.
    [​IMG][​IMG]Water is the human body’s principal chemical component, comprising, on average, 60 percent of body weight. Every system in your body depends on water. Water flushes toxins out of vital organs, carries nutrients to your cells and provides a moist environment for ear, nose and throat tissues. Lack of water can lead to dehydration, a condition that occurs when you don't have enough water in your body to carry out normal functions.
    How much water do you need?
    Every day we lose water through breath, perspiration, urine and bowel movements. For the body to function properly, it must replenish its water supply by consuming beverages and foods that contain water.
    The average urine output for adults is 1.5 liters a day. You lose close to an additional liter of water a day through breathing, sweating, and bowel movements. Food usually accounts for 20 percent of your total fluid intake, so if you consume 2 liters of water or other beverages a day (a little more than 8 cups) along with your normal diet, you will typically replace the lost fluids.
    Factors that influence water needs
    You may need to modify your total fluid intake depending on how active you are, the climate you live in, and your health status. Pregnant women and nursing mothers need more water than others.
    Exercise - The more you exercise, the more fluid you'll need to drink to keep your body hydrated. An extra 1 or 2 cups of water should suffice for short bouts of exercise, but intense exercise lasting more than an hour (for example, running a marathon) requires additional fluid. How much additional fluid is needed depends on how much you sweat during the exercise, but about 2 to 3 glasses an hour will generally be adequate, unless the weather is exceptionally warm.
    During long bouts of intense exercise, it's best to use a sports drink that contains sodium, as this will help replace sodium lost in sweat and reduce the chances of developing hyponatremia, which can be life-threatening. Fluid also should be replaced after exercise.
    Environment - Hot or humid weather can make you sweat and requires additional intake of fluid. Heated indoor air also can cause your skin to lose moisture during wintertime. Further, altitudes greater than 2,500 meters (8,200 feet) may trigger increased urination and more rapid breathing, which use up more of your fluid reserves.
    Illnesses or health conditions - Signs of illnesses, such as fever, vomiting and diarrhea, cause your body to lose additional fluids. In these cases you should drink more water and may even need oral rehydration solutions, such as Gatorade, Powerade or Ceralyte. Certain conditions, including bladder infections or urinary tract stones, also require increased water intake. On the other hand, certain conditions such as heart failure and some types of kidney, liver and adrenal diseases may impair excretion of water and even require that you limit your fluid intake.
    Pregnancy or breast-feeding - Women who are expecting or breast-feeding need additional fluids to stay hydrated. Large amounts of fluid are lost especially when nursing. The Institute of Medicine recommends that pregnant women drink 2.4 liters (about 10 cups) of fluids daily and women who breast-feed should consume 3.0 liters (about 12.5 cups) of fluids a day.
    Other sources of water
    Although it's a great idea to keep water within reach at all times, you don't need to rely only on what you drink to satisfy your fluid needs. What you eat also provides a significant portion of your fluid needs. On average, food provides about 20 percent of total water intake, while the remaining 80 percent comes from water and beverages of all kinds.
    For example, many fruits and vegetables - such as watermelon and cucumbers - are nearly 100 percent water by weight. Beverages such as milk and juice are also comprised mostly of water. Even beer, wine and caffeinated beverages such as coffee, tea or soda can contribute, but these should not be a major portion of your daily total fluid intake. Water is one of your best bets because it's calorie-free, inexpensive, and readily available.
    Dehydration and complications
    Failing to take in more water than your body uses can lead to dehydration. Even mild dehydration - as little as a 1 percent to 2 percent loss of your body weight - can sap your energy and make you tired. Common causes of dehydration include strenuous activity, excessive sweating, vomiting, and diarrhea.
    Signs and symptoms of dehydration include:
    • Mild to excessive thirst
    • Fatigue
    • Headache
    • Dry mouth
    • Little or no urination
    • Muscle weakness
    • Dizziness
    • Lightheadedness
    Mild dehydration rarely results in complications, as long as the fluid is replaced quickly, but more severe cases can be life-threatening, especially in the very young and the elderly. In extreme situations, fluids or electrolytes may need to be delivered intravenously.
    Staying safely hydrated
    It is generally not a good idea to use thirst alone as a guide for when to drink. By the time one becomes thirsty, it is possible to already be slightly dehydrated. Further, be aware that as you get older your body is less able to sense dehydration and send your brain signals of thirst. Excessive thirst and increased urination can be signs of a more serious medical condition. It is best to talk to your doctor if you experience either of the above mentioned conditions.
    To ward off dehydration and make sure your body has the fluids it needs, make water your beverage of choice. Nearly every healthy adult can consider the following:
    • <LI class=style28>Drink a glass of water with each meal and between each meal. <LI class=style28>Hydrate before, during and after exercise. <LI class=style28>Substitute sparkling water for alcoholic drinks at social gatherings.
    • If you drink water from a bottle, thoroughly clean or replace the bottle often. Refill only those bottles that are designed for reuse.
    Though uncommon, it is also possible to drink too much water. When your kidneys are unable to excrete the excess water, the electrolyte (mineral) content of the blood is diluted, resulting in a condition called hyponatremia (low sodium levels in the blood). Endurance athletes — such as marathon runners — who drink large amounts of water are at higher risk of hyponatremia.<!-- / message --> <!-- sig -->

    Eye Makeup Tips

    Eye Shadow

    Depending on the hues you wish to use, you can get a little colorful and creative with the wide selection of products for eyelids on the market. No longer do you have to sift through dozens of shades of eye shadow powder looking for the perfect blend…now you can accessorize your eyes with a beautiful array of powders, creams and glittery dustings. Traditional eye shadow powders are very easy to use with small applicator brushes and foam pads. For a dimensional look, blend two colors of powder or one color of powder atop a cream shadow base.
    With cream-based eye shadows, less really is more. The cream shadows generally come in small squeeze tubes that really enhance the look of your eyes with a light application across the lid, reaching up to your brows if you wish. Not sure about colors? Go with something neutral the first couple of times until you get the hang of it. Apply a light dusting of bronze, tan or other shimmery transparent color for a gentle hint of color.

    Mascara

    When selecting mascara, many factors come into play, with each brand’s newest addition to the line claiming bigger and better benefits. From thickening to lengthening to blackest black, waterproof and curling, each mascara product has a special offering of its own. Considering your own lashes, choose one that best suits your needs.
    If you wish to avoid that scary-looking metal eyelash curler that appears more like an ancient torture devise, opt for a product that contains a curling formula. Choose the color you want to wear - black, brown or even navy blue. With so many options available, you can add a couple types of mascara to your collection and change your look as often as you like! Generally, applying two coats of mascara will give enough definition to lashes to really make a difference. Allow the first coat to dry before applying the second in an effort to prevent clumping. If some of the mascara accidentally brushes onto your eyelids or underneath, simply use a q-tip to remove it. This may necessitate touching up your eye shadow a bit.

    Eyeliner

    To really define your eyes, apply a thin line of eyeliner in black or brown, khaki, plum or navy. To properly apply the eyeliner pencil or liquid liner, gently pull the corner of your eye outward, forming a straight line along your lashes. Starting at the inside corner and working toward the outside, delicately trace a line with the pencil angled toward your lashes. Be careful how much eyeliner you apply, as a little really does go a long way. For a dramatic look, thicker and darker is very acceptable. For a subtle definition, stick with a lighter application.

    Tips for Eyebrows-


    Your eyebrows add strength and definition to your face. Well groomed eyebrows enhance your beauty.
    You should pluck eyebrows before bedtime so any redness will disappear overnight. In shaping your eyebrows use your facial features.
    Use a pair of slant edge tweezers which grip hairs easily. Comb hairs one way and then the other to remove loose hairs.
    You should pluck hairs between the brows and any stragglers. Never remove the hairs from above your eyebrows.
    Pluck each hair individually close to the root. Work in the direction of the growth.
    Always avoid over plucking. In defining your eyebrows choose a shade similar to your natural hair colour.
    When using a pencil you should apply in small, feathered strokes. Starting at the inner corner work outwards. Blend the colour with a brush. To tame stray hairs just use hair gel and comb through to neaten
