There are SO many sides of creativeness: scrapbooking, various forms of painting, pinterest crafts, photo framing, journaling, accessorizing with lights and candles and cute nick nacks. THIS is what your room is lacking. Your subconscious runs on creativity. Creative outlets are just that...

BEAUTY QUEEN SECRETS: WHY PERCEPTION IS EVERYTHING FOR MISS BLACK VIRGINIA

Perception is everything! I work in Media and it’s important that you always dress well and exude confidence. Presenting yourself well gets you noticed. As I mentioned in my previous articles, I gained a lot of weight in college and managed to lose 50 pounds.  But, even though I was heavy, I’ve always dressed for success. However, losing weight definitely boosted my visibility, because I exuded more confidence. Another important part of perception is your face. That’s what people see first. My beauty regimen includes drinking lots of water and keeping heavy makeup for special occasions only. Also, find an excellent facial cleanser, toner, and sunscreen to maintain a clear and fresh face. I’ve learned that if you keep a simple skin regimen, eat well, and drink...

EYES- Use a light to medium shade and gently pat on the lower lid. This is great when you are short on time and need something that looks good. Simply dip a flat, stiff brush into the pigment and place in the lid. Press the brush into the pigment and tap off any excess. You can keep the color below the crease or bring it up slightly past the crease. Use a fluffy dome brush to blend out the crease and feather out any harsh lines. This adds a perfect and easy pop to your eyes. CHEEKS – These work wonders as highlights for the top of your cheekbones and for adding dimension to your look.

Can't sleep? Not maintaining a healthy night's sleep? There are simple easy things you can do in your room to get you quality AND quantity of sleep. RULE #1: Remove ALL electronics from your room. NO television. NO computer. NO iPad or Kindle or any tablet. These distractions are keeping you from your sleep. I hear people say it all the time, "I need the T.V. to fall asleep." When you watch television from bed you're keeping your mind from winding down and focusing on relaxation. Instead, you're focusing on "just another episode". If it's the sounds you need, there are amazing Pandora stations that have soft, relaxing melodies to cater to your sleepy self. (I like "Beach Bar Lounge" and "Yoga Radio") As for the computer, NO...
