Hydrating Hand Masks!
The rye bread mask hydrates the skin on your hands, makes it soft and helps with wrinkles. Pour hot milk over a piece of rye bread, leave it for 5 minutes, filter it, crumple it, add a tea spoon farina, a tea spoon olive oil and one egg yolk.
Mix everything together and lay a think layer on your hands. After that, put on some gloves and soak your hands in a bowl of hot water for 20 minutes. Make this mask 10 times in a row to make your hands perfectly smooth!
The melon mask hydrates and whitens your skin. Mix some melon puree with one tea spoon farina and the juice of half a lemon to make a thick mixture. Put on the mixture on your hands for half an hour, rinse with hot water and apply hand cream.
The linseed oil mask helps a lot with dry skin. You need to mix one tea spoon linseed oil and one tbs honey, the juice of one lemon and one egg yolk. Wash your hands with water from boiled potatoes, add a think layer of the mask, put on some cotton gloves and stay like this for 2 hours. Wash gently with warm water.
Another easy mask is the one with the olive oil. You mix 2 teas spoons olive oil and half an egg yolk. The mixture is applied gently on the hands and after 20 minutes, it’s rinsed with warm water.
The Perfume Choice is Important!
Fruits
Scents with fruit hints are also a huge hit, but it’s famous among teenagers mostly, because of the sweet, adventurous feeling it brings. Here you can find mango, apple, wild fruits, pear, peach and so on. These perfumes are perfect for a night out with your girlfriends. But you should be careful with those fruity perfumes, because they are really strong and you don’t want to suffocate the people around you with your perfume. Adorable suggestions are: Nina Ricci Nina L’Elixir and Escada Cherry in the Air.
Citrus
The fresh and juicy feeling that citrus fruits bring to us can be found at Burberry Weekend, Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Mandarine or Clinique happy. Be prepared to enjoy the juicy orange, fresh lemon, kiwi and sweet mandarin, and what about a combination between them. These scents bring you high energy feeling and they are perfect for your daily perfume, to keep you dynamic and fresh.
Exotic orient
Oriental perfumes are full of mystery, luxury and femininity. These features make them perfect for night events and some night “fun” (if you know what I mean). The traditional Orient touches are vanilla, amber, musk or sandalwood. You can find this mystique scent in perfumes like Guerlain Shalimar, Dolce & Gabbana The One, Tom Ford Black Orchid, YSL Opium, Thierry Mugler Angel.
Tips And Tricks For Younger-Looking Skin!
Brown spots
If you have brown spots you need to treat them with an antioxidant serum, not a bleaching cream. Brown spots are caused by the UV rays and the sun’s heat and appear mainly on the cheeks and nose. The first thing you have to do is buy a good sunscreen and wear it daily. Don’t bother using bleaching creams – according to doctors bleaching cream can make thediscoloration worse. Instead, go for an antioxidant serum, because antioxidants like Vitamin C and licorice extract neutralize the problem and prevent it from showing up again.
Big pores
Big pores cannot be treated with gel or toners, go for a salicylic acid treatment. Big pores are caused by collagen loss in your skin and that’s why, unfortunately, you can’t shrink them permanently. What you can do is deep clean them which will make them look smaller. A toner or a gel can’t make your pores clean, but a salicylic acid can easily do the job. Use a mechanical exfoliator once a week (if you use it more often it will damage your skin) and add salicylic acid to your morning routine to keep your skin clean and your pores – unclogged.

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Pie!!
here are time when, when we have guests over, I don’t feel like doing something special for dessert and often buy pre-made cakes and desserts to treat my guests. But I’m the type of person who likes home-cooked food and likes to cook, especially when I have the time and opportunity to try something new and interesting in the kitchen, that’s why when I found this easy, fast and delicious recipe I just had to try it and share it with you!
This chocolate covered strawberry pie is the ultimate treat for you and your guests and it will take you only a couple of minutes to prepare it! The ingredients you will need are:
1 refrigerated pie crust
for the strawberry silk:
¼ cup boiling water
8 oz strawberry cream cheese
3 oz strawberry gelatin
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup powdered sugar
for the chocolate layer:
1 ½ cups chocolate chips
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup heavy cream
for the chocolate covered strawberries:
24-30 strawberries depending on their size
1 tbsp shortening
2 cups chocolate chips
So, first bake the pie crust according to the package. Then, for the strawberry silk, mix the gelation in the water for a couple of minutes until it desolves and add the cream cheese. With a mixer beat the heavy cream and the vanilla, and after they have combined, add the powdered sugar. Combine this with the cream cheese mixture and spread it in the pie crust which you have refrigerated for 30 minutes.
Then, you have to make the chocolate layer. Mix the heavy cream and vanilla and heat them until the mixture starts to boil. Then pour the mixture over the chocolate chips and leave them to soak for 5 minutes without stirring. Then stir them until smooth. Pout the chocolate over the strawberry silk layer and leave it in the fridge for another 2 hours.
At the end, you have to make the chocolate covered strawberries. Wash the strawberries and remove the stems. Melt the chocolate chips and the shortening and stir the mixture gently. Lastly, dip the strawberriesin the chocolate and attach them to toothpicks that you will later put on top of your pie.

Office Look to Date Look: How To Achieve the Transformation!!
If you are a working girl and you live in a big city, I’m almost sure that you have to travel at least an hour from the office to your flat, which means that if you have plans after work, it will take you forever to go home, boost up your look and then go out again. Instead of this travelling madness, you can learn how to make a transformation from the office look to the Date look, all you need to do is to bring in your bag some hair products and your makeup kit. Take a look:
Let’s start with the hair. If all day it was tied in a ponytail or bun, the volume will be gone when you remove the hair band. And if you have in your bag a dry shampoo, spritz some of it in the roots and shake your head a little bit. The volume will be back and you will look like you’ve just blown your hair with the hair dryer. The hairstyle will be great and you will look sexy and nonchalant.
There is another solution if your hair can’t be fixed with the dry shampoo – make a fishbone braid and tie it into a ponytail. And if you have large earrings you will look like that was your first idea for your hairstyle tonight.
How to achieve curly texture while you are working, without looking ridiculous with curling rolls? With a braid, of course. If the weather allows it, go out with a slightly dampen hair. Here is the trick – when you finish your morning shower, after the jogging, let your hair be free of the towel while you put your clothes on and make a braided bun as the hair is slightly damp. And in the evening, when you have to go on that date, release the hair from the braid and enjoy the soft, romantic waves.
You have another option for your hair which includes braid, but this time I’m talking about the fishtail braid. Make a one-side fishtail braid and use your pen from the desk to loosen it up, by sticking the pen and pulling the strands out a little bit. Messy and adorable – that’s look you will get when you make this hairstyle.
And now let’s talk a little bit about the makeup.
Healthy Foods You Should Include In Your Diet!!
Apples
„An apple a day keeps the doctor away“– we all have heard that and, let me tell you something, it‘s true! Apples are very high in fibers that battle bad cholesterol. One medium sized apple is only 77 calories which means it won‘t affect yourdiet and will keep you healthy and in shape. They are only rich in different antioxidants which will help you easily battle all the toxins in your body.
Quinoa
First of all, quinoa is considered a whole grain and whole grains reduce risk of heart problems, contain vitamins and minerals, and, like apples, are high in fibers. Whole grain foods are a must of your want to build up your muscles andfasten your metabolism. You can eat quinoa will everything – from vegetables to rice and meat.
Eggplants
We all know that we have to consume fruits and vegetables every day to get our daily dose of vitamins and minerals. Eggplant is one of those vegetables that are so full of vitamins and antioxidants, they can substitute all of the other vegetables and provide you all you need with just one vegetable. And, guess what – the calories are only 17!
Salmon
All types of fish are good for your heath, but salmon is maybe the most nutritious of all. Salmon contain omega-3, which helps for a lot of things like memory, heart issues, asthma and even depression. Salmon is easy to cook and you can refrigerate the leftovers for your next meal.
Eyeliner Shapes!
Here are some different shapes of eyeliners, which can inspire you for your next makeup choice:
Closer. Make the line thicker at the inner half of the lash line.
Rounder. Apply the liner at the both lash lines and thicken the lines at the outer corner of the eye.
Oval. The thick part of the line should be in the middle of the lash line.
Larger. Contour the top lash line and apply a lighter color at the bottom waterline of the eye.
Farther. Apply liner only at the top lash line and thicken the end of it – at the outer corner of the eye.
Dramatic. Contour the whole eye with the liner and make a nice, thick wing at the outer corner of the eye.
Here they are, choose your favorite one and try it to see how it looks on you!
If you are having some trouble drawing the line yourself, you can use the help of a paper tape or an old business card. After a while your hand will become calmer and will get used to the motion and you will master that skill of applying eyeliner.
Remember to apply mascara after the application of the eyeliner in order to achieve finished and precise look.
