Want to give up on your diet?

Diets can be painful! 

We all have tried diets; some have worked better than others. There are a few things to keep in mind in order not to give up on your diet!

• Set a realistic goal for yourself! Don't expect to shed all your extra weight in two days; if you do, it will only lead to MAJOR disappointment.

• Tell a few people about your diet & that you want to loose X amount of pounds If you tell people about your diet than you are more likely to be persistent with your diet because you do not want to disappoint other people or you just want to prove people that you can do it!

• Get yourself a scale!  This is probably the most important aspect of being on a diet. You want to see results so make sure to get a scale so you can see exactly how much you loose. Weigh yourself every third day or so and hopefully you will see a figure on the scale that makes you content =)

•  Make lifestyle choices and avoid crash diets. Even though crash diets are great when you have an emergency (like a dress that you need to fit in in two weeks) but for a long term result you need to be on a diet that includes a lot of proteins and fibers.

•  Crash diet + hectic workout schedule = BIG NO NO. This is something you should avoid! You will ruin your body if you are on a crash diet and workout like a maniac for a long period of time! Don't do it! However, a well rounded diet and exercise is optimal!

• You have to let yourself cheat once in a while ;)  Being super strict about your diet is great but you have let yourself cheat now and then because we need to feel like we have control over ourselves and having something goooood (and naughty) is OK if it does not happen all the time!

As if you can resist these homemade doughnuts by DY! Take one it's OK ;)

Hopefully these tips will make those tedious diets more bearable ;) 

Let's go  #Beach2012 !

Makeup Bags, Cases or Boxes?

Makeup Storage can be tricky! 

We all store our makeup in different manners, some like them on a desktop others in bags. Obviously this all depends on how much makeup you have. If you only use a few products you might just have them on a desktop (or bathroom sink!). 


In our opinion, makeup bags are difficult too use if you have more than a few products, they get easily full and dirty ;/ Makeup cases feel too big for just one person, however, it's perfect for all you makeup artists out there! 

We are going to share a favorite way to store our makeup! 

A makeup box! 

These makeup boxes are really  'craft' boxes! They can be found at craft stores, according to them it should be used to store different crafting tools ( scissors, glue, glitter, paper, paint brushes etc.) We immediately saw the box as  perfect makeup boxes! 

You can fit big palettes, bushes, bottles in the bottom level and the other two levels can be used for single eye shadows, mascaras, makeup pencils, small scissor (for eyelashes!) makeup glue whatever you have! It is really easy to travel with these boxes. I (DY) have two boxes one for makeup products and the other for just makeup tools but start by getting one and see how it compliments your stuff! 

If you are quite anal about neatness & like things in a logical order you have to get one of these! 

Go to your nearest craft store and get one!

Wet n Wild

Day & Evening makeup all in ONE palette! 

Wet n Wild Vanity palette is amazing! It consists of six eye shadows (different shades of beige, gold and brown). The eye shadows to the left side of the palette are perfect for daytime makeup! The have a matte quality to them which is perfect for a day to day look. The eye shadows to the right though...are perfect for evening makeup! they are more shimmering =) 

It truly is a 2 in 1 eye shadow palette!

Have fun with it =)

Benefits of Vitamin B

The benefits of Vitamin B are many! 

The main health benefits of vitamin B are the following. 

• Support and increase the rate of metabolism.
• Maintain healthy skin, hair,nails and muscle tone.
• Enhance immune and nervous system function

All B vitamins are water-soluble, and are dispersed throughout the body. Most of the B vitamins must be replenished regularly, since any excess is excreted in the urine.

B vitamins are found in whole unprocessed foods. Processed carbohydrates such as sugar and white flour tend to have lower B vitamin than their unprocessed counterparts. B vitamins are particularly concentrated in meat such as turkey and tuna, in liver and meat products. Good sources for B vitamins include whole grains, potatoes, bananas,  lentils, chili peppers, beans. 

After reading about the benefits of vitamin b, one might argue and say that the b might stand for BEAUTY ;) its good for your hair, skin, nails and other biological benefits! Make sure you get your daily dose of vitamin B. 

Stay beautiful with vitamin b ;)

NailArt

Our Contributions to CVS Beauty NailArt competition 

A few days ago we entered CVS twitter NailArt competition, we were unfortunately (for us ha!) not picked as one of the 10 winners. But we like these nailarts so much we wanted to share with you guys! Our two contributions were very different from each other.

First contribution 

It is kind of inspired by the ladies on The Sopranos especially Adriana La Cerva. (loved that show!) 

Second Contribution 

A fun royal blue with silver details design. The nails are a bit shorter than they usually are but so faboosh!  

What did you think about these design? Do you have any fun ideas for nailart? We would love to hear about  them!

Stretchmarks -Bio Oil

The little bottle of relief! 

There are facts of life that no one likes to speak about and this is one of them is - Stretchmarks. Many women have them and they look different on different bodies; some are red others are white. Women who have stretchmarks look for the cure constantly! Unfortunately, there is not much out there that really helps. However, there is one product that helps to get rid of some of the stretchmarks (from my [DY] experience) 

Bio‑Oil is a specialist skincare oil that helps improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks and uneven skin tone. It is also effective for aging and dehydrated skin. Keyword here is improves they will be completely gone but there is definitely an improved appearance! 

How to use Bio Oil 
Before you rub the troubled area with Bio Oil you should scrub it with a body scrub (a favorite is The Body Shop's Mango scented body scrub). After you have scrub the area pour some of the Bio oil and rub circularly on your skin. 

Hope this will help you too =))
