How to have a perfect filled eyebrow

Today I want to share a very simple trick on having a really nice well shaped eyebrow. Best of all, being able to do it yourself and spending no more than 2 dollars!

All you have to do it buy a pencil! I learned this trick at a salon, with an eyebrow specialist. I complained about my eyebrow never being completely filled, since hair is always falling off and I have one part of the eyebrow that is not as thick as I wanted.

So she told me to go to buy a pencil, specifically a Faber Castell 2B pencil. It works for all colors of eyebrows and it looks really natural! I bought it and tried to round the tip, so it would be easier to slide it throught the eyebrows.

All you have to do is pass it slightly on the areas where you want to correct it. After that, I never felt bad about the lack of hair on my eyebrows anymore.


                                      

I learned from a Star... Walt Disney

This a a new column for the blog that tries to extract some lessons from famous people. One time I heard we should read about those who became successful and try to learn and copy them. Then, I started reading some biographies, which became my favorite books. Also knowing about someone famous can be very useful in a conversation and make we look very attractive and smart ;)

Nutrition: Eating at least 5 times a day!

If you don't eat at regular intervals throughout the day, you risk disrupting your blood sugar and insulin levels, which in the end can promote fat storage and lower your metabolism, both of which lead to weight gain. 

The solution: Eat something every three to four hours and never let yourself "starve" from one meal to the next. Consuming five small meals daily instead of three square ones can keep you fit and trim. Fruits are great as snacks in between main meals.

A few comments on texting and guys....

Texting may be a simple communication tool when the dialogue between you and your friend, your brother or your mom. But when it comes to guys, it becomes a science to be studied with careful attention. If Freud was alive, I would def request him an analysis on the topic. Since he’s not capable of doing that, I did it myself. The conclusions I’ve made (and please tell me if you share the same thoughts!):

1)      Guys don’t like any kind of punctuation that shows too much emotion. No exclamation or even interrogation marks. Reticences are not good either, it seems like you’re waiting for his response. So I ALWAYS stick with periods. They are safer.

2)      Yes, I do think at least three different ways to reply to his latest text, and then I rephrase the one I chose at least twice. See, it is necessary.  The words you choose and the punctuation make all the difference.

3)      The less, the better. Not too many explanations, not to opened. I don’t want guys to be able to figure me out by the text messages I sent. I want to keep the mystery and the interest alive, so he will want to see me and get to know me better.

4)      The first time he asks me out on a date or sends me a hint through text that he wants to meet with me, I am busy. No matter what. Something like, “I have plans for tonight already”. That’s it. I don’t justify or say where. In my head I am thinking that I will lose him, but the truth is: he will want me more. And the next invitation will come. If he asks what the plan is, I go for the extremes.   I either go for something simple, like “I promised to the movies with my sister tonight”, so  he will be intrigued, “Why does she prefer to go to the movies with her sister instead of cancelling it and hanging out with me?”. Or I go for something real fun, like a bar, or party, so he knows that I am having fun, with or without him.

5)      I always let his text be the last one. So I never end the conversation. He will be wondering what I could’ve said and I always have the opportunity to say something the next day, so it is not too much text from me.

6)      If I want to say something but I am not too sure about after thinking it twice, I don’t say it. You can always say something that hasn’t been said, but you can’t “unsend” a message (that should be an option for the next phone generations!).

7)      I NEVER answer him right away. It is too boring, too predictable. He can’t know you’re there, available all the time. He has to think you’re busy with something else, that you are not checking your phone twice every second (even though that’s the truth). I like him wondering when he will get my text, so I prefer him checking his phone ten times a minute.

How crazy is that! haha!! Please tell me what do you think about it?

Leopard Print Loafers

I am in love with the leopard print loafers that have been around for a while.

I finally got to buy mine last week. I hate to pay a lot of money for anything. I find it much more interesting to pay little for something that looks expensive. I found them at Kohls for $49.50 but I ended up paying $17!!! Here they are:

I wore them three times already. They just go with everything, leggings, short skirts, jeans! 

The Easiest Home Made Facial Scrub

Girls! When it comes to buying expensive products, again, I always think twice. And usually the second time I think about it, I end up not buying and just go home with empty hands hahaha. That's why I love home made tricks, it's just so easy, almost no money spent, no allergies, no disappointments. And because it is natural, the result is mostly positive.

Once a week,, I feel like my skins screams for a scrub. So I mix 1tbspoon of honey and 1tbspoon of sugar (brown sugar if possible), and gently scrub all over my face and neck areas, doing circle movements. It does get red, as I put some preassure, but 10 minutes after I wash it off, the skin feels much more even and soft. 

Try it! = )
