Expert Brows for Your Wedding or Selfie
You know the drill. There is nothing more heart-wrenching than spending all your time on perfecting your eyes and blushing correctly, only to discover that your brows are a mess! Expert and makeup artist, Ely Marino shares her easy guide to getting your brows done in a snap: 1. Start by taking the spoolie side of the double sided brush #12 and comb through the brow hairs 2. Taking Dip brow in "Ebony" with the same brush, line the bottom of the brow following your own natural shape 3. For a more defined brow, line the top of the brow 4. Fill in the empty space with light strokes and in the direction of the hair, stopping about three quarters of the way in 5. Brush the remaining product (on the brush) to the front part of the brow 6. Taking the spoolie side of the brush, comb the product through the brow for a more even distribution 7. To clean up the brows use concealer (I used 2.0) with #18 brush under and on top of the brow 8. Use a brow gel to set the hairs in place (I used Espresso brow gel) Note: For those of you with fuller brows you can also use this just with a lighter hand and maybe just fill in sparse areas. ✨ Lashes: House of Lashes "Iconic" All makeup Anastasia Beverly Hills unless otherwise stated.

why drinking tea is so beneficial
I honestly think people ignore or are not aware of how beneficial teas can be. Teas all have benefits but it's important to know the specialty of each to help certain areas of our health that may need more care . Ice tea is amazing in case you don't like hot drinks. You can also choose to drink your tea before bed to put you at ease & relax after a long day. Sip on some tea & enjoy

Before and After
This before picture was taken 5 years ago I still can't believe how far I've come. At that point I was just starting to make small changes in my life that would eventually lead to me making better/healthier choices about what I eat and working out 6 days a week. People have asked me if I've now reached my goal weight but I never really had a goal weight I'm just trying to live a healthy lifestyle wherein I will always try to be active and eat healthy, I'm not just trying to lose weight. And believe me I'm not perfect and I do indulge here and there I just try not to over do it. After 5 years I'm definitely not at the end of anything I'm still trying to push myself to do things I never thought I was capable of doing.

The Flick Of The Wrist: Winged Liner The Correct Way
Before the title deceives you, this is not an article on "Chedda Da Connect" lyrics -- unfortunately. This article is for those ladies who love to spice up their life like the Spice Girls in the 1996. What's a complete face without winged liner? Winged liner will immediately make your eyes pop and vamp up any look. Although getting the flick perfect and precise can be somewhat difficult, like anything else, it takes time and patience. Remember back in middle school when eyeliner and lipgloss in the squeeze tube were your go-to beauty products? You thought you looked amazing, but looking back at pictures you never quite realized how crazy you really looked. You winged liner looked like a bird with no wings. If that doesn't paint a picture in the back of your mind, then take a closer look. Don't feel bad, ladies half your age still can't get "the flick of the wrist" motion down packed. You can easily cheat your way to fabulosity using a strip of tape to guide you or by binge watching youtube videos. Usually the second choice works best. Practice makes perfect and there's no such thing as a winged liner that's not perfect. That's just facts. Pretend your studying for a very important exam you want to ace and watch how soon you catch on. You'll be winged out in no time. Get those wrists ready, your eyes are about to be poppin' and all the guys will be stoppin'.
