Quick Tips To Get Makeup Out Of Clothing
So many shirts have been ruined by that innocent hug that left a large foundation smear on the shoulder. While your first instinct might be to reach for the makeup remover, think again. The oil, which is meant for the skin, might actually make the situation worse. How to get powders out of your clothes First of all, don't rub it in! It's easy to dust off excess powder, but a ground-in stain is harder to deal with.

A QUICK HOME REMEDY TO FIGHT NAIL FUNGUS
Women of all ages suffer from the symptoms of toenail fungus. Whether in one or all toes, the greenish-yellow, flaky, and misshapen nail(s) can be something of an embarrassment. There are a slew of treatments from oral pharmaceuticals, to topical salves, to costly laser treatments. I've heard of these treatments costing anywhere from $10 to hundreds of dollars. Over the years I have come across an OTC treatment that can diminish the look (or in some cases cure) the fungus. The only catch is that it takes discipline. In a small spray bottle combine, pour 3/4 white or apple cider vinegar and 1/4 room temp distilled (or bottled, NOT tap) water. Prior to spraying, make sure toes/nails are clean and trimmed. Nail fungus can grow into skin...

Now granted managing the hair of a squirming, tender-headed, rambunctious, toddler can be difficult. However, she’ll thank you so much when she’s submitting baby pictures for her senior year book (poor Blue Ivy). It seems like that once soft, curly, fresh out the womb hair changes up on you so quick, and becomes something only Jesus could tame. But rest assured it can be done. Braided styles, beads and all can prove to be your savoir. They last a good while, and the beads help protect hair against any friction that may be incurred when they sleep. Of course be mindful of braids being too tight, which could lead to hair loss. Now for our little divas that may not have enough hair to braid, natural styles...

The Most Popular Nail Color For Summer 2014
With every change of season comes a cycle of seasonal colors. For winter most colors stay on the darker side and for summer, the pinks, the oranges and bright neons come out to play. Every season there seems to be one or two feature colors. The most popular colors for summer 2014 seem to be Barbie pinks and temperature changing pigments. However, there’s a new comer to this year’s palate. The more I see the color the more I like it and repeat it each week. It’s a nude, pink color that is actually done with a French manicure color. For the look in the picture I used 4 coats of Pink Nude by Orly. And I used a base and top coat of my go-to...
