Top tip of the day...

Weight loss & dieting: why a 'healthy' weight isn't always a happy weight

Fast food for thought: a 'healthy' weight isn't always a happy weight... Although shaping a slender silhouette may see our self-esteem soar, flaunting the petite physique that society persistently portrays as representing a 'healthy' body weight can leave many living a far from 'healthy' or happy life.  This is simply due to the fact that in order for the average person to achieve and sustain such a slim silhouette, they must dedicate every ounce of energy to an extreme eating and exercise regime that not only leaves them feeling (chronically) famished, fatigued and fighting to flaunt a figure that they've been brainwashed into believing is 'healthy', but battling to banish a battered brain that's developed the psychological perception that a 'healthy' body is built from deprivation - the deprivation that leaves most feeling mentally debilitated, depressed and desperate to ditch the diets that decrease their waistline as well as ...

In order to ensure that your eyebrows are emphasised for all of the right reasons, here are our top three steps for how to re-gain a beautiful brow shape at home. 1.Place a pencil (or an orange stick - the ideal tool) at the side of the nose in a vertical position i.e.the tip of the pencil should be pointing towards the forehead - this is where the brows should start, and any hair before (above the bridge of the nose and between the start of each brow) should be removed to avoid a frown like appearance. 2.Keeping the pencil (or orange stick!) in the same position, swivel the tip until it's crossing the outer corner of the eye - this is where the brow should end, and any hair beyond this point should be removed to prevent the brows from lookin...
