If you're prone to backaches, especially in the morning, try sleeping on your back with your knees raised on a pillow. If this is uncomfortable, sleep on your side with a pillow between your knees.

Run a bit of lemon juice through your hair, then sit in the sun for 15-20 minutes, for natural, subtle highlights. Be sure to condition afterwards so the lemon doesn't irritate your scalp.

Roam abroad in the world, and take thy fill of its enjoyments before the day shall come when thou must quit it for good.

Before you hit those indoor heated pools, wet your hair with regular tap water. Your hair will soak this up first instead of the chlorinated water, prevening it from getting as damaged.

This became a credo of mine...attempt the impossible in order to improve your work.

Problems with static when you brush your hair? Take a tiny bit of lotion and run it through your hair ... but not at the roots. This will make it much more manageable and keep the static away.

If the arc of your eyebrows isn't as high as you'd like, try putting some white or light-colored eyeshadow just underneath, on the browbone. This will make your eyes stand out, and give the illusion of a higher arc.

"The hatred you're carrying is a live coal in your heart -- far more damaging to yourself than to them."

Mix a little of your favorite face powder with your favorite moisturizer. It will give your skin just a touch of color, and is far less expensive than commercial tinted moisturizers. If you want SPF protection, mix some powder with sunscreen.

Do I contradict myself?
Very well then I contradict myself,
(I am large, I contain multitudes.)

Put an old toothbrush to good use. Before you go to bed, rub your lips with a toothbrush to slough off dead skin. It's best to do this before bed -- no more waking up with dry, chapped lips!

We can be sure that the greatest hope for maintaining equilibrium in the face of any situation rests within ourselves.

There are very few colors that work on anyone; ice blue is one of them. This complements nearly any eye and skin color without exception, so don't be afraid to try it! Just make sure you don't overdo it -- some people look better with a little, some with more.

Get happiness out of your work or you may never know what happiness is.

Many people say to put ice on your eyebrows before plucking ... but this actually tightens pores and makes plucking more painful. Do the opposite and put a warm washcloth on your forehead first to open pores. Use ice afterwards to soothe any pain.
