Twilight Inspired Make Up and Hair


Glowing Skin
Twilight's vampires may sparkle like diamonds in the sun, but mortals like us look best with just a touch of strategically placed highlighter. Sweep a cream or powder along the tops of the cheekbones, then dab what's left on one finger on the tip of your nose (trust us—it balances the look). A golden hue is best for dark skin, while a champagne-colored or pinkish shade flatters fairer skin tones. And everyone should avoid colors that are too frosty—they can make skin look ashen.

Just-Bitten Lips
No need to draw blood to get the effect—a lip stain in a cherry or berry shade, applied more heavily in the middle of the mouth, will do the trick. Draw on a liquid stain or dab a deep berry or burgundy lipstick onto your mouth with your fingers, and press lips together.

Smooth Hair
It rains over 100 inches a year in Forks—so where's the frizz? We're guessing it's keeping the movie-set hairstylists pretty busy—unless they, too, have found the only secret weapon that works: the MIT research that went into the Living Proof No Frizz line of stylers. Instead of temporarily masking fuzz with loads of silicones that weigh down your hair, these products form a feather-light coating over hair that actually keeps humidity from seeping in and wreaking havoc in the first place.

Pale Skin
What do beauty editors and the Cullen kids have in common? You got it—a fear of the sun. But you don't have to hide in a cave to keep your skin protected; just make sure to slick on a broad-spectrum sunscreen (they protect you from both UVA and UVB rays) before leaving the house. The most potent sun-blocking ingredients include Mexoryl, Helioplex and Active Photobarrier Complex .Choose at least an SPF 30, and really slather it on—it takes a teaspoon or two of cream to protect your face and another few to keep your neck shielded.

Sexy Eyes
First, apply a chestnut shadow over your lids just up to the crease. The important thing is to choose one with a matte, powdery consistency—creams and shimmers reflect too much light. Then line both the upper and lower lash lines with a soft-tipped chocolate-colored pencil, and smudge with your fingertips.

An Even Complexion
Even with all the sunscreen in the world, those who actually venture outside in the daylight are destined to earn some dark spots on their skin. To lighten them, dab spots every night with a cream containing 2 percent hydroquinone or both niacinamide and glucosamine. When used along with SPF 30 sunscreen, they should fade in three to six months. A glycolic acid peel used once a week can help speed things up.

Shiny Hair
Whether you've got long, straight locks like Bella or an Alice-esque pixie, any style looks best when hair has a glossy finish. An at-home glaze,coats each strand for maximum luster. Plus, it can last through several shampoos—without flattening the hair the way that some silicone-based serums can.

Piercing Eyes
Since we're mere mortals, our eyes may not change colors with our moods. But they can—with the right shadow shade. Purple eye shadows, like the ones used at the spring Versace show, can bring out the golden flecks in brown and green eyes. If your eyes are blue, go with bronze or peachy shades like the pros used backstage at Derek Lam .

Party Make Up Mistakes To Avoid

Matching your makeup to your outfit
Matchy-matchy is tacky. "If you're dressed to the nines, your face should be low-drama," says makeup artist Jemma Kidd. That means if your clothes are bright, stick to a neutral palette; if your outfit is metallic, avoid shadow and lipstick with shine, and go with smoky eyeliner.


Playing up your eyes and lips
Make a decision—it's one or the other, not both. If you accentuate your eyes, wear lip gloss in a shade that's transparent, like champagne, says makeup artist Troy Surratt. If you focus on your lips, do the reverse and brush on soft brown eye shadow.

Shining too brightly
There should be only one disco ball at any party. To make your skin look dewy, apply shimmer—not glitter—strategically (and sparingly) to one feature. On the eyelids and inner corners, try a creamy shadow or a gleaming highlighter; apply a powder highlighter on the cheekbones; or go with a sparkling nude lip gloss.

An unbelievable bronze
"Women often choose a bronzer that's too dark for their skin and blend it all over their face," says makeup artist Mally Roncal. The trick is picking the right one: Make sure it's a powder and that it's golden, not orangey or muddy brown. (If you're fair, look for a bronzer that's tan or honey-colored; for medium skin, a medium brown or terra-cotta bronzer is ideal; and for dark complexions, try a deep, coppery shade. Just don't go more than one shade darker than your skin tone.) Load it onto a powder brush, tap off the excess, and then start applying it to your jawline, nose, cheeks, forehead, and even your chin.

Heavy metal
Take a lesson from Midas: Not everything you touch should turn to gold (or silver, or copper, or bronze). Choose two features—max—to highlight with metallic makeup.


Red lipstick that bleeds
Crimson looks best when it's painted on with precision. Start with smooth, balm-coated lips. To keep the color from bleeding, trace the border of your mouth with a liner that matches the natural color of your lips, then fill in the rest. Apply lipstick with a small, synthetic lip brush: Start in the center of the mouth and work the color outward.


Too much powder
A little of the powdery stuff goes a long way. Before you head out, apply a light dusting of loose powder or a very fine pressed powder to help your makeup stay put and keep shine to a minimum. Later,after dancing, don't cake on more powder to get rid of the shine. Instead, use oil-blotting sheets.They're quick, disposable, and you don't need a mirror to use them.


Fading makeup
Beyond a tube of lipstick, pack these makeup essentials to keep your look going strong all night long:

* Concealer. Nothing kills your confidence like a blemish that shows up out of nowhere.
* Cotton swabs rolled in eye shadow: store them in a cigarette case, and freshen your shadow in seconds.
* Black eyeliner. As the night progresses, line the inner rim of your eyes with it. All of a sudden, you feel sexy. It's instant fierceness.
* Bold cream blush. Pack the brightest one you have, and blend it on the apples of your cheeks to refresh your look.Even if you don't have any color left on your lips or eyes, it always works.
* A light-colored lipstick or gloss. Any pale pink shade will do.

5 Minutes Hair and Make Up Tips


Metallic Lids in Under a Minute
This season's shimmery eye shadows go way beyond silver and gold—colors such as copper, navy, and violet look cool and fresh and are easy to wear. Simply dust the color onto your lids and along your bottom lashes for a halo effect. The rest of your makeup should be toned-down—just add a coat of mascara, a dusting of blush, and a neutral lip color.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Freshen Your Face
Your office-to-party emergency kit should include:

Moisturizer. If you're not wearing foundation, rub it on your cheeks to make your skin look dewy.

A makeup-eraser pencil. Swipe one around your eyes and mouth to delete mascara smudges and lipstick smears without messing up your foundation.

Concealer. Before re-upping your undereye coverage, be sure to dab on a bit of moisturizer or eye cream. It will keep color from becoming cakey.

An eyelash curler. Pumping up lashes perks up tired eyes, with or without a new coat of mascara.

Oil-absorbing sheets. Press one on your forehead, nose, and chin to degrease without destroying your makeup.

Highlighting cream or powder. Add a swipe on the cheekbones and brow bones to brighten skin.

Rosy Cream or Gel Blush. Smile wide and dab it on the apples of your cheeks. This one step alone will make you look ready to face the world.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Smoky Eyes in Three Easy Steps

Using a soft, chubby black pencil, draw short strokes from the outer lashes inward, creating a thick line that stops just short of the corner. Repeat on your bottom lashes, then smudge it all with a cotton swab.
Dip a small eye-shadow brush in gray shadow; tap off excess. Start at the outer corner and dust it across your lid using feathery strokes and staying close to your lash line, then blend the shadow up to the crease.
Dust what's left on the brush from your crease to your brow bone, then blend everything into a soft haze by whisking your brush over any edges of color.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



A Quick Chignon
Party hair doesn't mean prom hair. One easy updo: Create a tight, low braid, wrap it into a bun, and secure it with bobby pins at the nape of your neck. (A spritz of hair spray on each pin will keep them from slipping.) Add an embellished barrette at the side of your head for extra oomph.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Add a Feather
No matter your hairstyle, adding a feathery clip or headband instantly dresses it up. Just get the position right:Accessories look great when worn on the side of the head, close to the face.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quick Purple Polish
Purple makeup is having a moment right now, and nails are no different:The color combines the excitement of red with the calming properties of blue and communicates balance. It also happens to look great whether you're dress is dark and moody or light and bright. Pull the shade off fast with polish that dries in 60 seconds. Just be sure to take a few minutes to paint carefully, and you'll be off in no time.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Revive Your Hair—Fast
Four ways to freshen up your hair without a trip to the salon:
If you're wearing your hair down, blast the roots with a blow-dryer to lift them. Add even more volume by moving your part to the other side.
Tease the hair at your crown and smooth it over with your palms—the height gives any style a little oomph.
Smooth frizz by squirting a drop of serum, cream, or even hand lotion in your palm. Rub your hands together and skim them over the outer layer of your hair, working from the ears down and then using whatever's left on the crown.
Have bobby pins, plain black elastics, and a thin black elastic headband handy. If your hair is beyond help, pull it all back into a twist. Then push the black headband about one or two inches behind the hairline—you'll instantly look stylish.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bold Lips
Choose a color that flatters your skin tone—cherry for pale complexions, coral for olive, or either color for dark skin—and apply it straight from the tube. Once you've added this pop of color, you can keep all your other makeup understated.The goal is to look pulled-together but not overdone.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Warm Up Your Legs
No one will notice your killer dress-and-heels combo if you have dry, ashy legs. Here's how to get them glowing:
Moisturize. Amy Tagliamonti, head makeup artist for Gossip Girl , applies Mustela Hydra Bébé Body Lotion on Leighton Meester: "It makes skin glow," she says.
Add color. Don't fear leg makeup. Tagliamonti treats Blake Lively with Sally Hansen Airbrush leg makeup: "It dries quickly, looks natural, and won't rub off on clothes."
Highlight. Draw a line down the center of legs, front and back, thigh to toes, with shimmer powder—it actually has a subtle thinning effect.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pump Up Flat Hair
To volumize dry hair, lift three-inch sections and allow them to drop through a mist of medium-hold hair spray,then spray your entire head with dry shampoo and scrunch; the result is hair with lift and a lovely, seemingly no-product finish. For those who hate hair spray, apply mousse to a vent brush and then to damp hair—it won't squeeze the air out of the mousse.Coat the brush with mousse and run it through one side of your hair, then refuel and do the other side.

Holiday Hair Mistakes

Corkscrew Curls
The only corkscrew you want this season is one that opens a bottle of wine.There's nothing flattering about tight curls on anyone over the age of seven.For a more modern wave, wrap hair around the outside of the barrel of a curling iron, leaving the ends straight for texture.Once all the hair is curled, break up the ringlets by raking through a little bit of texturizer.



Milkmaid Braids
If you look like you could work on a Swedish dairy farm, your braids are too tight. You always want hair to look touchable. For a less severe style, resist parting hair down the middle—it's flattering on almost no one—and instead "loosely pull your hair straight back and make whatever style braid you do a little messy by spraying it lightly with dry shampoo and mussing it with your hands.

Tendrils
They're really old-fashioned (and not in a cool, retro way).There is nothing more unattractive than tendrils, especially when they're obviously pulled out of a finished style. Rather than deliberately placing stray hairs (or, even worse, curling them), just let loose hairs fall where they may:It gives a modern touch to an often classic look.

Hair Spray Overload
Remember: You're walking into a party, not a wind tunnel. The problem here is not just your trigger finger, but holding the spray can too close to your head.The product doesn't have time to dry, so you end up with sticky, wet-looking hair.If you can't hold the hair spray or shine spray 12 inches away from your head (and let's face it, who can?), your best bet is to spritz the product on your palms and run them over your style.That way, hair is beautiful and touchable all over. (Using a lightweight spray doesn't hurt.

Too Much Teasing
A little bit of volume can dress up any look, but anything higher than an inch of two has the potential for a big hair mistake. Instead, add subtle volume to a ponytail or high bun by back-combing only at the hairline, then pulling the hair back loosely.

A Cheesy Half-Updo
The hairstyle of the commitment-phobe (you can't bear to put it all up, but don't want to leave it all down) often leaves hair looking top-heavy.A common faux pas is pulling too much hair up. To keep the balance, make sure hair is pulled diagonally upward and secured above the start of the nape of the neck—no higher.Brush key areas, the hairline and forehead, with an eyebrow brush lightly coated with hair spray to keep them in place.



Decking Your Head With Too Many Ornaments
If there's a headband, there can't be a clip. If you're all about barrettes, one is safe, and two can be cool if they're stuck in in a random way, as they were at Dolce & Gabbana. And remember the cardinal rule of hair accessories: Don't wear them with big earrings or a serious necklace.

Poker-Straight Hair
Straight hair can be gorgeous, but it still has to move. To keep it from hanging too close to the head,spritzing roots with thickening spray and blow-drying with a round brush before tackling it with an iron.Hit just the very bottom of the hair with an iron.That way, you can still see the layers.

Teased Bangs
The '80s may be making a comeback in fashion, but that doesn't mean it has to hit your look over the head. The biggest culprit here:using a round brush when blowing out bangs.To cut volume, dry your bangs with a flat boar-bristle brush. And watch the gunk factor:Don't ever use a shine- or silicone-based spray on your bangs . "It will clump hair together and make it look greasy.

Three –meals –a –day plan


According to supermodel and mother-of-two, Claudia Schiffer, a sensible, three-meals-a-day plan is the only way to maintain her catwalk curves. 'I don't diet because it messes up your metabolism,' she says. 'Instead I eat three meals a day, particularly lots of fruit for breakfast because it's cleansing and quickly digested by the body and I try hard not to snack in-between meals. But if I want a piece of chocolate or a biscuit, then I have one. Denial makes you crave for something even more.

As well as sticking to a three-meals-a-day plan, Claudia tries to eat organically. 'I like my food to be as natural and unpolluted by chemicals as possible so I always eat organic.

Rainy-Day Hair Tips

* Always start by misting a heat-protective spray on wet hair. Not only does it stop hair from drying out over time (which makes it much more frizz-prone), it helps create a barrier against environmental moisture.

* Add a little anti-frizz product. Just keep the application light, and if you can, skip the holding products (like mousse, styling cream). While the temptation is always to pile on more products when it’s crappy out, this actually makes frizz seem worse most of the time.


* Blow your hair bone dry. Absolutely no moisture should be left in the hair when you’re trying to maintain a blowout in humid air.

* Let your hair cool completely before stepping out into the elements (or finish your styling by using your dryer’s cold setting). This’ll ensure that your cuticle lays flat so water vapor can’t sneak its way in.

* Resist running your hands through your hair. I always thought the oils from my fingers helped smooth frizz

Ridiculously Healthy Foods

Dark Chocolate

Thank you, dark chocolate, for making us feel good—not guilty—about dessert. Dark chocolate is filled with flavonoid antioxidants (more than 3 times the amount in milk chocolate) that keep blood platelets from sticking together and may even unclog your arteries.It may also help with weight loss by keeping you feeling full, according to a study from Denmark. Researchers gave 16 participants 100 g of either dark or milk chocolate and 2 hours later offered them pizza. Those who consumed the dark chocolate ate 15% fewer calories than those who had milk chocolate, and they were less interested in fatty, salty, and sugary foods.

Try a chocolate with 70% or more cocoa. Two tablespoons of dark chocolate chips with fresh berries as a midafternoon snack or after-dinner dessert should give you some of the heart-healthy benefits without busting your calorie budget.

Apples

One of the healthiest fruits you should be eating is one you probably already are: the apple. The Iowa Women’s Health Study, which has been investigating the health habits of 34,000 women for nearly 20 years, named apples as one of only three foods (along with pears and red wine) that are most effective at reducing the risk of death from heart disease among postmenopausal women. Other massive studies have found the fruit to lower risk of lung cancer and type 2 diabetes—and even help women lose weight.

In fact, one of the only things that could make an apple unhealthy is mixing it with sugar, flour, and butter and stuffing it into a mile-high pie. Instead, have one as an afternoon snack with a tablespoon of peanut butter, or add slices to sandwiches or salads.

Lychee

A French study published in the Journal of Nutrition found that lychee has the second-highest level of heart-healthy polyphenols of all fruits tested—nearly 15% more than the amount found in grapes (cited by many as polyphenol powerhouses). The compounds may also play an important role in the prevention of degenerative diseases such as cancer.

Serve by peeling or breaking the outer covering just below the stem; use a knife to remove the black pit. Add to stir-fries or skewer onto chicken kebabs to add a sweet, grapelike flavor.

Asian Pears

One large Asian pear has a whopping 10 g of cholesterol-lowering fiber, about 40% of your daily need. People who ate the most fiber had the lowest total and LDL cholesterol levels, according to a recent study of Baltimore adults. The same researchers found that people who ate the most fiber also weighed the least and had the lowest body mass index and waist circumference.

Serve by dicing it into a salad of Boston lettuce, crumbled goat cheese, walnuts, and mandarin oranges. Or make it a dessert: Add peeled and cored pears to a saucepan with 1 cup white wine, 1 teaspoon honey, 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger, and enough water to cover the pears. Cover and simmer 40 minutes or until pears are soft.

Blueberries

Blueberries may very well be the most potent age-defying food—they’re jam-packed with antioxidants. When researchers at Cornell University tested 25 fruits for these potent compounds, they found that tangy-sweet wild blueberries (which are smaller than their cultivated cousins) packed the most absorbable antioxidants. Research shows a diet rich in blueberries can help with memory loss, prevent urinary tract infections, and relieve eyestrain.

Add up to 1/2 cup of blueberries to your diet a day for maximum health benefits, recommends Ronald Prior, PhD, adjunct professor of food science at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. This alone provides just about double the amount of antioxidants most Americans get in 1 day.

Sweet Potatoes

One of the best ways to get vitamin A—an essential nutrient that protects and maintains eyes, skin, and the linings of our respiratory, urinary, and intestinal tracts—is from foods containing beta-carotene, which your body converts into the vitamin. Beta carotene–rich foods include carrots, squash, kale, and cantaloupe, but sweet potatoes have among the most. A half-cup serving of these sweet spuds delivers only 130 calories but 80% of the DV of vitamin A. Replace tonight’s fries with one medium baked sweet potato (1,096 mcg) and you’re good to go—and then some.

Tomatoes

Tomatoes are our most common source of lycopene, an antioxidant that may protect against heart disease and breast cancer. The only problem with tomatoes is that we generally eat them in the form of sugar-loaded jarred spaghetti sauce or as a thin slice in a sandwich. For a healthier side dish idea, quarter plum tomatoes and coat with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Roast in a 400°F oven for 20 minutes, and serve with chicken.

Spinach

Spinach has serious health muscles. For one thing, it contains lots of lutein, the sunshine-yellow pigment found in egg yolks. Aside from guarding against age-related macular degeneration, a leading cause of blindness, lutein may prevent heart attacks by keeping artery walls clear of cholesterol.

Spinach is also rich in iron, which helps deliver oxygen to your cells for energy, and folate, a B vitamin that prevents birth defects. Cook frozen spinach leaves (they provide more iron when cooked than raw) and serve as a side dish with dinner a few times a week.

Broccoli

Pick any life-threatening disease—cancer, heart disease, you name it—and eating more broccoli and its cruciferous cousins may help you beat it, Johns Hopkins research suggests. Averaging just four weekly servings of veggies like broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower slashed the risk of dying from any disease by 26% among 6,100 people studied for 28 years.

For maximum disease-fighting benefits, whip out your old veggie steamer. It turns out that steaming broccoli lightly releases the maximum amount of sulforaphane.

Avocado

These smooth, buttery fruits are a great source of not only MUFAs but other key nutrients as well. One Ohio State University study found that when avocado was added to salads and salsa, it helped increase the absorption of specific carotenoids, plant compounds linked to lower risk of heart disease and macular degeneration, a leading cause of blindness. “Avocados are packed with heart-protective compounds, such as soluble fiber, vitamin E, folate, and potassium,” says Elizabeth Somer, RD, author of 10 Habits That Mess Up a Woman's Diet.

But they are a bit high in calories. To avoid weight gain, use avocado in place of another high-fat food or condiment, such as cheese or mayo.

Edamame and Tofu

Soy’s days as a cure-all may be over—some claims, such as help for hot flashes, don’t seem to be panning out—but edamame still has an important place on your plate. Foods such as tofu, soy milk, and edamame help fight heart disease when they replace fatty meats and cheeses, slashing saturated fat intake. Soy also contains heart-healthy polyunsaturated fats, a good amount of fiber, and some important vitamins.

Soy’s isoflavones, or plant estrogens, may also help prevent breast cancer. Some researchers believe these bind with estrogen receptors, reducing your exposure to the more powerful effects of your own estrogen, says Prevention advisor Andrew Weil, MD. But stick with whole soy foods rather than processed foods, like patties or chips, made with soy powder. Don’t take soy supplements, which contain high and possibly dangerous amounts of isoflavones.

Lean Beef

Lean beef is one of the best-absorbed sources of iron there is. (Too-little iron can cause anemia.) Adding as little as 1 ounce of beef per day can make a big difference in the body’s ability to absorb iron from other sources, says Mary J. Kretsch, PhD, a researcher at the USDA-ARS Western Human Nutrition Research Center in Davis, CA. Beef also packs plenty of zinc (even minor deficiencies may impair memory) and B vitamins, which help your body turn food into energy.

If you can, splurge on grass-fed. Compared with grain-fed beef, it has twice the concentration of vitamin E, a powerful brain-boosting antioxidant. It’s also high in omega-3 fatty acids. Because this type of beef tends to be lower in overall fat, it can be tough—so marinate it, and use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking.

Fat-Free Milk

Yes, it does a body good: Studies show that calcium isn’t just a bone booster but a fat fighter too. Recent research from the University of Tennessee found that obese people who went on a low-calorie, calcium-rich diet lost 70% more weight than those who ate the least. Vitamin D not only allows your body to absorb calcium, it’s also a super nutrient in its own right. Recent research found that adequate D levels can reduce heart disease risk, ward off certain types of cancer, relieve back pain, and even help prevent depression, but most of us don’t get nearly enough of the 1,000+ IU daily that most experts recommend.

A splash of milk in your morning coffee isn’t enough to provide the calcium and vitamin D you need. Use milk instead of water to make your oatmeal, have a glass with breakfast, or stir some chocolate syrup into it for an after-dinner treat.


Egg

Egg yolks are home to tons of essential but hard-to-get nutrients, including choline, which is linked to lower rates of breast cancer (one yolk supplies 25% of your daily need) and antioxidants that may help prevent macular degeneration and cataracts. Though many of us have shunned whole eggs because of their link to heart disease risk, there’s actually substantial evidence that for most of us, eggs are not harmful but healthy.

People with heart disease should limit egg yolks to two a week, but the rest of us can have one whole egg daily; research shows it won’t raise your risk of heart attack or stroke. Make omelets with one whole egg and two whites, and watch cholesterol at other meals.

9 Signs She's the Right One

9. She signs up for her own WoW account.
Playing Warcraft as a couple actually brings you closer together. It shows she's willing to take on the mantle of an undead warlock who will summon demons to kill enemies at your side, which is way cooler than watching reruns of "Sex and the City.

8. She introduces porn.
You know what's cooler than a woman who is not only willing to watch porn with you, but will actively find it on her own for your mutual enjoyment?

7. She tries to out-drink you.
It means she's relaxed, so you don't have to be afraid of scheduling a night out with the guys, because she's cool with it. She could even come and shame them, which is funny.

6. She wants to spend a Saturday watching the collected works of George Romero.
Sure, most dramas are gender-free, but as sure as no guy wants to watch a Renee Zellweger film, most women are staunchly opposed to zombie gorefests. If she's down for contrasting the original "Dawn of the Dead" with the remake, she's a keeper.

5. She laughs at farting.
Farting is hilarious.Your girl can't suppress laughter, it means she's not only got a sense of humor, she has your sense of humor.

4. She points out hot women to you.
Many times in your life you've likely experienced a woman trash-talking another woman for no discernible reason and in the interests of self-preservation you agree that, yes, that girl with her thong sticking out does look trashy. But if she points out that girl's thong and mentions how hot it makes her ass look -- and it's not a trick -- you have yourself a winner.

3. She encourages you to spend time with other hot women.
That means she trusts you enough to let you spend time with other women, which is healthy, and is secure enough with you and your relationship that she knows nothing is going to happen.

2. She's ready for a tailgate party.
The best part of any live football event is not the football. If she's already got the cooler packed with beer and beef before you even wake up in the morning, it doesn't matter if she's a sports chick or not. You don't even need to be a sports guy.

1. She's OK with sex on the balcony.
Basically, if she's not hung up about sex, you're in a good position. No one wants to come out and say sex is the most important part of a relationship, but it's definitely one of the important parts, and if you're not compatible or want different things, that's not going to work itself out in its own.

A woman who enjoys some spontaneity and adventure when it comes to sex is someone you're bound to have fun with for a long time to come, with little fear of things getting stale.

Leftover Turkey?


Pot of Chili
Saute chopped onion, bell pepper, and garlic in olive oil in a large heavy pot over high heat until softened. Add diced turkey, chili powder, cumin, and oregano and cook briefly. Then throw in canned pinto beans, canned diced tomatoes with juice, chicken broth, and a small amount (say, an ounce) of semisweet chocolate to deepen the flavors. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer uncovered until thickened. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

8 Essential Friends

1. A Childhood Friend
She can still remember the boy-crazy, artistic girl you were at 16.
These friends remind you that you are still the person you've always been.

2. A New Friend
Unlike members of your grade school crew, newly acquired pals have no preconceived notions about you.
New friends ignite different kinds of thinking and fresh ways of being." What's more, they'll connect you to another network of people.

3. A Workout Friend
She’ll drag you out for a jog on days when you’d rather be parked on the couch.
It's the best way to boost the get-healthy payoff of a workout partner because neither of you is poking and prodding the other, which is a recipe for resentment.

4. A Spiritual Friend
Being part of a spiritual community—not necessarily an organized religion—helps people stay resilient, research shows.
Volunteer in a canned food drive campaign, or attend a lecture series. Or try a neighborhood yoga center or community college; they often offer spiritually meaningful courses.

5. A Younger Friend
How did you juggle your full-time job and three kids? Your 10-years-younger friend really wants to know.
To maximize the benefits of this friendship, let advice flow in both directions. A younger confidante can explain the social networking site du jour or offer a fresh take on current events.

6. Your Partner’s Friends
Becoming tight with your husband’s pals is good for your marriage.
Including your spouse in your network of friends is nearly as important for marital happiness as making them feel they are a part of your family.

7. Your Mom
About 85% of adult women say they have a good relationship with their mother, according to a Pennsylvania State University study.
If you’d like to be closer but run into the same roadblocks over and over, here’s some advice to overcome the most common issues.
You find it hard to enjoy time with mom: Stop trying to change her, and focus on what you do enjoy, says Fingerman.
You keep clashing over the same old issues: The women who had the strongest relationships didn't take the conflicts personally. Instead, they tended to see criticism as a reflection of their mother's habits or traits.
The relationship feels too close for comfort: Daughters who did the best with this accepted that their mothers wanted more time together. Instead of telling their moms what they couldn't do, these daughters focused on when they could get together and what they could do for their mother

8. Yourself
If you’re like a lot of women, you’d drop everything to help a friend in need—but often don’t pay yourself the same respect.
Getting to know yourself is an amazing adventure.Think of what makes you fall in love with someone: how genuine, sincere, and caring they can be; the unconditional love they offer, no matter what. Doesn't that describe how you should feel about yourself?

Liv Tyler's Shoulder Length Hair


"Liv's cut is about as blunt as a haircut can get—there are virtually no layers," says hairstylist Garren of the Garren New York salon. "Ask your stylist to make it collarbone-length in the front and just a touch shorter in the back. You should be able to part it on the side or in the center, and if it starts to feel too severe, make some gentle waves with a curling iron."

Choosing and applying mascara


To Curl or Not to Curl?
Done right, curling your lashes has the eye-opening effects of a double espresso. Make sure you’re using a lash curler that’s wide enough to cover the entire lash line and that the rubber pads are properly in place. Always curl bare lashes; if you do it after applying mascara, they’re more prone to breakage.

Applying Mascara
1. Blot the end of the brush on tissue to get rid of excess mascara.
2. Don’t pump the wand in the tube. This will push air into the mascara and cause it to dry out.
3. Holding the mascara wand parallel to the floor, work from the base to the tip of the lashes. Roll the wand as you go to separate lashes and avoid clumps.
4. Always apply mascara to upper lashes from underneath; brushing mascara over the top will weigh the lashes down. If you wear mascara on your lower lashes, use a lighter hand than you did on upper lashes.
5. To prevent clumping, allow mascara to dry in between coats. Apply one to two coats if you want a subtle look and two to three coats if you want a more dramatic effect.
6. Don’t tug or rub when removing mascara because this irritates the eye area and can make lashes fall out. Soak a cotton ball with remover, press down on lashes to dissolve mascara, then gently wipe it away.

Tip No. 1
True black mascara looks great on everyone. To check if it’s a true black, swipe it on white tissue or paper. Pass on it if it has a grayish cast. Choose brown mascara if you’re a light blonde or redhead and want a more natural look. Leave trendy colors like blue, plum and hunter to the teenagers.

Tip No. 2
Don’t share your mascara! Mascara is a potential breeding ground for bacteria that can cause eye infections. Replace your mascara about every three months.

Countdown to Great Skin

One Day: Look Brighter


The night before: Use an at-home peel or microdermabrasion kit. "These products whisk away dead cells and instantly reveal healthier skin," says Elizabeth Briden, MD, adjunct associate clinical professor of dermatology at the University of Minnesota. Bonus: Cosmetics glide on smoother and more evenly.

One Day: Camouflage Fine Lines


1 hour before your event: Exfoliate and add moisture; the combination offers immediate plumping that lasts several hours. "Even gentle sloughing causes skin to swell slightly, making wrinkles less noticeable," says Briden. Use a scrub with smooth, spherical beads that polish without causing redness (look for polyethylene at the top of the ingredient list). Follow with a lotion that contains GABA, a peptide that relaxes muscles and temporarily eases pesky lines.

One Day: Lessen Redness


In the morning: Wash with a mild, soap-free cleanser; pat dry to avoid inflaming skin. Spot treat ruddy areas with a soothing 1% OTC hydrocortisone cream or a calming cream.

Throughout the day: Skip flare-up items like hot beverages, alcohol, and anything spicy--they release a chemical called histamine that can turn skin red.

1 hour before your event: Apply a washcloth soaked in cold water to your face for 10 minutes; the cool compress constricts blood vessels. Follow with a lotion that boasts a greenish tint. "Green cancels out redness because it's on the opposite end of the color spectrum," says Briden.

One Week: Fade Brown Spots

Nightly: Use a peel or microdermabrasion kit to slough off the top layer of skin, making brown spots less noticeable. Any subsequent redness should be gone by morning.

One Week: Smooth Deep Lines


7 days before: Get Botox (around $500) to prevent muscle movement that causes crow's feet and forehead furrows; the smoothing effect kicks in within a few days and lasts up to 4 months.

At the same time: Instantly plump deep lines and folds with filling materials like Restylane or Juvéderm. Made with hyaluronic acid, a substance found in skin, these options offer natural-looking fullness for about 6 months. Or try Evolence, a new product derived from pig collagen. Due to its thicker consistency, results may last up to a year. Such fast results come at a price: Expect to pay about $600 per treated area. Be prepared for mild swelling and bruising that last a few days.

One Week: Clear Broken Capillaries


7 days before: Try the Pulsed Dye Laser, which emits a beam of light that targets red pigment in the skin, causing vessels to collapse. You may experience slight swelling that lingers for 24 to 48 hours; treatment starts at $300.

Nightly: Use a topical retinoid to strengthen weak vein walls (wait 2 days if you've had the laser).

Daily: Apply an SPF of at least 15 (30 is better) to maintain clearing and prevent the UV damage that often causes the problem in the first place.

One Month: Reduce Wrinkles, Firm Skin


Nightly: Use an Rx retinoid to target wrinkles all over. "These vitamin A derivatives supercharge cell turnover, so you'll notice fewer wrinkles by the end of the month," says Arielle Kauvar, MD, a clinical associate professor of dermatology at New York University Medical School. Ask your doctor for Atralin, the most moisturizing retinoid, which you can use daily for faster results with minimal dryness or flaking. Caveat: If skin is sensitive or prone to redness, you may be able to tolerate using the cream only every second or third night, at least for the first 2 weeks.

Every morning: Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 to protect fresh cells.


One Month: Erase Brown Spots



Every other week: Alternate between using an at-home peel and a microdermabrasion product to fade splotches, reduce fine lines, and boost radiance. "Combining exfoliators is like power washing your complexion," says Briden. Follow directions on the label so you don't strip away too much of your skin's protective outer layer. You may experience some immediate redness, which should dissipate the next day.

Every morning: Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen to keep fresh cells from repigmenting.

Nightly: Apply an Rx hydroquinone bleaching cream; top with a prescription retinoid to drive the lightener into skin for faster results. Limit use to 2 months.

2 weeks before: If you can afford to splurge, an in-office peel employing a low level of trichloroacetic acid offers more dramatic results in tone and texture, reaching deeper layers of skin. After about a week of downtime (you'll look badly sunburned), your natural healing response kicks in, replacing damaged tissue with fresh, younger-looking skin. Cost: around $700.

One Month: Relieve Redness



Immediately: Shelve aggressive anti-agers such as retinoid-containing creams and glycolic acid peels.

Nightly: Use a cream made with calming botanicals such as licorice extract or feverfew to help control unwanted redness. Try Aveeno Ultra Calming Night Cream ($14; drugstores).

Once (4 weeks ahead): If it's in your budget, try a single Intense Pulsed Light session. Experts say patients average about a 20% decrease in diffuse ruddiness after one treatment. Bonus: Because IPL employs several wavelengths of light to remove unwanted pigment, you'll likely see an improvement in brown spots as well. Side effects include mild redness and swelling that subside within a day or two.

Feeling Bloaty?

Season Food Differently

Make This Smart Swap
Add zing to your meals with salt-free seasoning blends.

Avoid These
Salt, salt-based seasonings, and highly processed foods.

Why?
You may be attracted to your saltshaker, but water is, too. When you take in higher than usual amounts of the salty stuff, you’ll temporarily retain more fluid, contributing to that sluggish feeling, a puffy appearance, and extra water weight.


Thirsty? Hit the H20

Make This Smart Swap
A nice carbonated beverage can hit the spot when you're thirsty. But you'll have to skip the bubbles while you're on mission: muffin top. Drink plain old tap water to stay hydrated--and make sure you get at least 8 glasses a day.


Avoid These
Any carbonated drinks--including diet sodas

Why?
Where do you think those tingly bubbles end up? In your belly, causing it to puff out more.


Cut the Carbs

Make This Smart Swap
Use one slice of whole grain bread for your sandwich at lunch and pack extra protein like turkey slices and low-fat string cheese. Swap your afternoon pretzels for nuts or seeds. At dinner, stick to brown rice if must have a starch.

Avoid These
High-carb foods like bagels, pasta, pretzels, and cereals

Why?
As a backup energy source, your muscles store a type of carbohydrate called glycogen. Every gram of glycogen is stored with about 3 grams of water. But unless you have a vigorous exercise routine, you don't need all this stockpiled fuel. When you decrease the carbs, you'll temporarily train your body to access this stored fuel and burn it off. At the same time, you'll drain off excess stored fluids.

Shrink Your Fruits and Veggies

Make This Smart Swap
Of course you should eat veggies, just eat them cooked--steaming is quick and easy. (Remember to skip the salt!)

Instead of fresh fruits, eat canned varieties in natural juice or small portions of dried fruit, such as raisins and dried plums.

Avoid These
Any raw vegetables and fresh fruits

Why?
A half-cup serving of cooked carrots delivers the same nutrition as one cup raw, but it takes up less room in your GI tract. The same goes for fresh fruits: Compare the size of a few grapes to a few raisins. Big difference!



Hold the Hot Sauce

Make This Smart Swap
Some people love their food four-alarm spicy! If that includes you, you'll have to lay off the barbecue sauce and garlic for a few days while debloating. Give dishes a flavor boost with in-season fresh or dried herbs like dill, basil, mint, sage, tarragon, and rosemary. You can also use curry powder, lemon or lime juice--all perfect with fish or chicken.

Avoid These
Black pepper, nutmeg, cloves, Chili powder, hot sauces, onions, garlic, mustard, barbecue sauce, horseradish, catsup, tomato sauce, vinegar

Why?
Spicy foods can stimulate the release of stomach acid, which can cause irritation.

Chuck the Chewing Gum

Make This Smart Swap
If you chew gum by habit or just like to bite down on something crunchy, reach for some nuts, like roasted or raw unsalted sunflower seeds.

Avoid These
Gum

Why?
You probably don't realize this, but when you chew gum, you swallow air. All that air gets trapped in your GI tract and causes pressure, bloating, and belly expansion--none of which help flatten your middle.

Fried Food Fiasco

Make This Smart Swap
There really isn't a healthy substitute for French fries, fried calamari, and onion rings! So try to take your mind off them altogether. Take a quick 5-minute walk after your fry-less healthy meal. Moving your body helps release air that has been trapped in your GI tract, relieving pressure and--you guessed it--bloating. Naturally you can stroll longer, but you need to walk at least 5 minutes to help get things moving inside your belly.

Avoid These
Anything fried in any way, shape, or form

Why?
Fried foods are digested more slowly, causing you to feel way too full. Not to mention unable to zip up your favorite jeans.

Gassy Veggies

Make This Smart Swap
As mentioned earlier, you should eat your veggies cooked--but there are a few to take off your shopping list while debloating. Skip gas-producing veggies like Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and legumes; instead cook up green beans, mushrooms, and squash for a delicious dinner side.

Avoid These
Legumes, cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, onions, peppers, and citrus fruits

Why?
Certain foods simply create more gas in your GI tract (think: blown-up balloon inside your stomach).



Ditch Diet Foods

Make This Smart Swap
Swear off low-calorie or low-carb products containing sugar alcohols. These sugar substitutes go by the names xylitol or maltitol. Instead, satisfy your sweet tooth by eating any of the fresh fruit substitutes mentioned earlier. Or mix up a refreshing Flat Belly Diet smoothie--each recipe packs a MUFA (monounsaturated fatty acids), the Flat Belly Diet powerhouse ingredient that targets belly fat.

Avoid These
Sugar alcohols

Why?
Your GI tract can’t absorb most sugar alcohols. Sugar alcohols cause gas, bloating, and diarrhea.



Steer Clear of Acidic Drinks

Make This Smart Swap
Drink plain tap water instead of coffee, tea, juice and alcohol. Think of it as tough love for your tummy.

Avoid These
Alcohol, coffee, tea, hot cocoa, and acidic fruit juices

Why?
We realize that giving up your morning cup of joe may be tough to swallow (pun intended!), but it's only for four days. Coffee and the other bad guys of bloat on the "avoid" list are all high-acid beverages that can irritate your GI tract, causing swelling.

Gwyneth Paltrow's shoulder length hair


Not all haircuts are meant to look brand-new; Paltrow's style resembles a bob that's been growing out for a few months. To get that effect, "ask for a blunt cut that falls just above the shoulders and has absolutely no layers," says hairstylist Sally Hershberger of the Sally Hershberger Downtown salon in New York City. Then, ask her to "thin out the ends with scissors or a razor so they look slightly jagged." A cut like this can be worn wavy or flatironed pin-straight.
