 In today’s hectic World many of us women have
little or no time at all to take care of ourselves. Wouldn’t it be nice
to have a couple of hours just for yourself? Or simply have a more put
together look? Here are some tips that will allow you to make time for
your own beauty routine!
- Schedule the beauty routine in your weekly schedule beforehand; even if you are going to do it at home.

 Seeking Ideal Beauty There seems to me to
be definite parallels between this era, and the Elizabethan Age, when it
comes to women, and their desperate struggle to either halt the natural
aging of their appearance, or, to discover a miracle age-reversal
method. During the sixteenth century, well-born women were obsessed with
achieving, and maintaining, 'ideal' beauty, as they perceived it, to
the point of

Not too long ago, it used to be that when a
woman brought home her facial scrub, cleanser and toner, she could be
sure that the closest her man got to them was reaching over those fancy
jars for his can of shaving cream.
Not any more. In
recent years, men have been secretly dipping into their wives and
girlfriends skin care products and liking the results that they see. So
much so that many companies are developing skincare lines just for men.
And
men are flocking to these skin care products in droves. Statistics
reveal that men in the United States are spending over $4 billion a year
on grooming products.
Skin care for men is growing in
popularity among ethnic men as well. Ethnic men spend $88 million on
skincare products. There is no sign of this trend slowing down.
One
main difference between skin care for men and women is ease of use.
While women may be willing to go through sev

Did you ever notice that the bar is continually
being raised on exactly what physical characteristics define beauty? As I
sit in front of the TV, I am bombarded by beauties with pouty lips,
perfect bone structure, flawless skin, more "voluptuous" upper regions,
size 2 waists, and hair that resembles spun silk. Take these same
beauties and plop them back in time 20-30 years, when the advent of
modern cosmetic technology had not even begun to reach its full
potential. Do you think they would have had those same attributes you
find yourself longing for when faced with these images? My guess is
probably not, or at least not to the same extent.
True,
genetics play a role in physical beauty, but with the likes of total
"extreme" makeover reality TV (The Swan, Extreme Makeover, Dr. Beverly
Hills) and abundant publicity, we see that beauty and cosmetic
improvement can now be achieved by a few thousand dollars and a good
plastic surgeon. N

 Lord Byron’s opening couplet to "She Walks In
Beauty” is among the most memorable and most quoted lines in romantic
poetry. The opening lines are effortless, graceful, and beautiful, a
fitting match for his poem about a woman who possesses effortless grace
and beauty.
Life in England
Lord Byron
was born George Gordon Noel Byron in London in 1788. He became a Lord in
1798 when he inherited the title and the estate of his great-uncle.

Myth: "All Natural" Beauty Products Are Best
Pure Truth: First of all, there are not really any 'all natural'
products available for commercial sale. Unless you make them yourself,
and are prepared to refrigerate them & use them within a few days,
you really can't find any. This is because, just as in food products,
the ingredients are perishable.
Just think what would happen to a jar of 'natural' ingredients
sitting on your vanity... The smell alone would keep me from opening the
lid, let alone touching it! So beauty products, like foods, use
preservatives to give them added shelf time. When you buy products, they
have to last through storage with the company, shipping and still have
some time left for you to use them. As for the term 'natural' it is not
even regulated. This means any company can call their product natural,
no matter what it contains.
Myth: Chemicals Are Bad For Your Skin
Pure Truth: Not all chemi

Where do you buy your beauty supplies? If you buy them from a
department store- you are paying way too much! I was a department store
buyer for many years. I was hooked on a particular brand, and I
thought that the products were only available at the department store. I
was wrong. With a little bit of time and research, I was able to shave
off 50% of my beauty supply bill. Imagine what you could do with the
extra money. The process is actually really simple. All you have to do
is find the right websites.
Many of us are hooked on a particular brand of beauty supplies.
We have used them for years, and love the way that they make us look and
feel. The price tag however isn’t very pretty. Try doing a search
online for your favorite beauty products. You may find that auction
sites such as EBay.com have really good deals. Make sure to find out
about shipping and return policies. I am a sucker for a free shipping
deal, so try to find them whenever
