Aveeno Active Naturals VoxBox
First off, I'm a little behind on posting this because I received this VoxBox around a week or so ago. I've had a hectic couple of months (try year) and I'm just now getting back into the groove of things. Let's not talk about my life and get on with what Influenster sent me.
I was picked to try out their targeted tone corrector. On the box it says that it helps fade the look of dark spots and uneven skin tone to reveal softer, smoother, and more radiant skin. That all sounds nice, but I have a hard time believing such claims from products. I tend to lean to more organic, natural skin care items because commercial ones like Aveeno never works.
I'm not saying that Aveeno is bad and won't work for everyone, but it doesn't work for me. I plan to make a list of things that I use or plan to use in the future for those like me who like DIY skin care.
Here are the ingredients for those of you who are curious and might be looking to buy this product. Enjoy!
I received this product complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

Six Ways to Wake Up Beautiful
 |
Image by Nouhailler via Flickr
|
We all
scoff at those characters in movies who wake up looking gorgeous in every
scene. We laugh at the fact that no one could possibly wake up looking so
flawless, while secretly feeling envious. However much of a naysayer you claim
to be, would you take the steps necessary to ensure you look your best upon
waking up in the morning? Here are a collection of nighttime tips that will get
you looking radiant right from the get-go.
1.
Use
Teabags Before Bed
A common
detractor from your natural morning beauty is probably the pesky bags that form
under your eyes. A quick way to reduce this problem is placing cold
water-soaked tea bags on your eyelids at night. You’ll need to leave them on
between ten and fifteen minutes, but this should be long enough to reduce any
swelling and moisten up your skin. You’ll notice a difference in the morning
after each tea bag application.
2.
Use
Castor Oil on Lashes
Before
you go to bed, use a Q-tip to coat your eyelashes in castor oil. It will
require habitual application over a period of weeks, but this will help your
lashes grow thick and long naturally. In the meantime, you’ll awake with a
glossy shine to your lashes that will make a big statement even without makeup.
3.
Sleep
with Curlers
It’s
difficult to wake up with a ready-to-go hairdo, let alone a hairdo that isn’t
tangled and frizzy from all-night pillow contact. Try sleeping with curlers in
your hair to keep it tight, out of the way, and looking beautiful by the time
morning comes. You can use traditional rolling curlers, the more modern
headband curling technique, or even just simple braids to hold your hair in place
until you can let out its natural waves in the morning.
4.
Put
Socks on Your Hands
If you
feel self-conscious about your dry hands, try deep-conditioning them over
night. Slather your hands in lotion, then place cotton socks over them (held
tight by hair elastics at the wrist). This direct contact with lotion will
infuse your skin with moisture overnight, leaving your hands baby smooth by the
time you wake up.
5.
Get
Permanent Makeup Done
This is
a more expensive and invasive option, but it’s the perfect way to achieve daily
natural beauty. You can have your eye, lip, and scar cover-up makeup done
subtly enough that your best features are lightly enhanced, allowing you the
freedom to add onto it whenever you please.
6.
Whiten
Your Teeth
There
are plenty of affordable and easy whitening options, whether it be
over-the-counter whitening strips or getting professional work done by a
cosmetic dentist in Calgary. However you choose to do it, a bright smile will
speak volumes for your appearance without the need for any enhancing makeup.
We all
want to feel our best as much of the day as possible, and the morning is a
great place to start. These steps are simple, affordable, and well worth the
effort; give them a test run, and see how much better you look and feel when you
wake up.

Business Wardrobe Must-Haves for Women
The clothes that we wear would
definitely speak volumes on our personality.
Not to mention the fact that it can also have a huge impact on our
capability to achieve success in our chosen careers. Working in a business environment nowadays
would also entail following a specific dress code. If you are new to the world of being employed
and would want to elicit the right impression, check out the following basic
wardrobe must-haves.
Two Suits
For starters, you should have at least
two suits coupled with a skirt or pants and then anything suitable for the
top. These pairs will serve as your primary
business wardrobe. See to it that they
have compatible colors so you can just interchange the tops and bottoms with
ease. You can also buy a knit top or any blouse with the same color tone as
your suit to be worn in monochromatic fashion. Pivotal suits that are navy and
black in color can be a surefire way to stretch your wardrobe budget and
choices. Other equally powerful colors for your pivotal suit would include
gray, olive and brown. However, always remember not to mix navy and black
colors together or you will ruin your fashion sense.
Two silk blouses
The other one could be long-sleeved and
these two blouses will prove to be very helpful when you are trying to
coordinate them with your suits. Blouses
that have geometric print and solid colors can be paired with those two suits
mentioned above. You can wear your long-sleeved blouse with your skirt to pair
with your suit. The good thing about
these pairs is that you can just let them hang on the back of your chair in the
office and wear it anytime there is a meeting. In other words, you would still
look both professional and fashionable with or without your suits.
One Tailored Jacket
Make sure to choose a color that is
compatible with those pivotal suits that you already have. For starters, it would be best to choose
jackets in varied colors so that other people will not have the impression that
you are wearing the same jacket over and over again. Although it is okay to
wear the same basic garment for a week just do not forget to hang them right
away for airing out. Your jacket style
must vary from your suit jacket cuts.
Your printed jackets will perfectly go well with solid-colored tops.
Long Skirt
If your height is below 5’4”, it is best
to choose straight long style for your skirt and stay away from full skirt
designs. Its print must coordinate well with your jacket, suit or turtleneck
tops.
Sweater Set
Your sweater
set i.e. shell and cardigan could either have neutral or totally different
colors for as long as they look perfect with the skirt and pants that you
already have in your closet. Off-white colored sweaters will definitely make it
easier for you to pair with just anything beneath it or with your skirts and
pants. If you opt for colored sweaters then see to it that the colors are
according to what is the latest color trends.
If you choose lime green colored sweaters, the best pair of pants to
wear would be color black or eggplant. To gain more sets, you can just pair
your shell with your other jackets. The same thing can also be done with your
cardigans. This is the beauty of having
neutral colored clothes because you will have no trouble mixing and matching
them with other clothes that you already have.
You can then
add more clothes to your collection once your budget allows. But, for now, continue to search for more
tips on business wardrobe must haves so you will not have to suffer from much
anxiety and stress whenever you wake up in the morning and think of what to
wear. During weekends, it is also good
to plan ahead of time the pairing of clothes to wear and then hang each set or
pair in your closet so you can easily grab them whenever you need to go to
work. As your wardrobe collection
starts to grow you can then start exploring other colors aside from those
neutral colored clothes you have. Do not
forget that as you invest money on your clothes, you will also be able to gain
more money out of it as you gain more positive impressions from other people.

What Your Glasses Say About Your Personality
Have you ever wondered what message you’re
sending when you put on your glasses in the morning? Glasses don’t just alter
your physical appearance—they give people hints about your personality as well.
The color, material, and shape of your glasses tells everyone you meet just a
little bit about you.
They have lost their nerdy vibe of years
past and become popular with people who are comfortable in their own skin and
who don’t care much about what others think.
Color

Brightly colored glasses are a pretty bold
statement. They suggest confidence as well as a willingness to have fun. Yellow
glasses are fun and blue glasses are cool. Red glasses are a particularly
daring statement because red is a power color. Black can also be a powerful
color depending on the style of frame. Black frames can be subtle, but they can
also be bold.
Material

Most glasses frames
are either plastic or metal. While the rules aren’t hard and fast, plastic
frames suggest a fun loving, youthful attitude, while metal frames are seen as
more professional and responsible.
Shape
When you choose a
pair of glasses, you have a large number of shapes to choose from. Does the
style of frames you chose match your personality?

Round Frames
People who wear
round frames are often creative and gentle. They are calm under pressure and care
about other people. Round frames suggest tranquility and an affinity for the
romantic things in life.
Wayfarer Frames
Wayfarer frames have
made a huge comeback in recent years.

Big Bold Sunglasses

Big bold sunglasses are suited to big bold
personalities. People who choose big bold sunglasses are fashion conscious and
courageous. If you are very confident and love to have fun try on a pair of
statement making sunglasses.
Rectangle Frames

Rectangle frames are often chosen by those who
are quiet and intelligent. Rectangle frames are stylish, but don’t make a
strong statement, which makes them perfect for those who aren’t looking to
stand out in a crowd. People who wear rectangle frames are content and
collected.

Cat-eye Frames
Cat-eye frames used
to be associated mostly with cat ladies and shushing librarians, but in modern
times they are a courageous and sophisticated statement. They are usually worn
by women who know what they want in life and have a plan for getting it.
Rimless Frames
Rimless frames are very subtle, which means they
are suited to those who are looking to blend in with those around them. They
also suggest the person wearing them is happy with the way they look since they
aren’t using their glasses to alter their appearance. Those who choose rimless frames are often
quiet and invested in learning new things.
Aviator Frames

Aviators are classics, and the people who wear
them are classic as well. Aviators suit those who value simplicity. People who
wear aviators are cool and relaxed but also love a good adventure.
Of course no one is
has a personality as simple as a pair of glasses, but what you wear on your
face all day every day does give others a glimpse into what you are like on the
inside. Whether you are shopping online or at your eye clinic in Edmonton or
Edinburgh, choose a pair of glasses that suits your personality.

Something Beautiful Come February 14th
We’re all used to receiving mysterious
cards, boxes of chocolates, bunches of flowers and even cute teddy bears on
Valentine’s Day but as with every occasion, it’s always nicer to receive
something a bit unique. You don’t have to be planning a proposal to push the
boat out and treat your special someone to a February 14th to
remember. Dedicated to finding the perfect
gift for her, we've put together some great gift ideas for the special lady
in your life this Valentine’s Day.
Underwear is always a cheeky but
smile-inducing gift and there are some beautiful sets around at the moment.
Most of them come in pretty packaging meaning you don’t even have to worry too
much about presentation. Think rich reds, sultry blacks and frothy pinks in
lace or silk. Our favorites include:
(l-r: Cochinella Red Satin Set, Black
Maria Set, Marie Lloyd Set all by Buttress and Snatch)
Not in the business of buying something so
risqué? Treat your favourite person to one of these loved-up pieces:
(l-r, top row: Charmed Heart Pendant
by Ella Georgia, Heart Tea Light Holders by CHH Design, Spa Pamper Gift Box by
Gift Box Galore. L-r, bottom row: Enamel Love Mug by Tigerlilly Quinn, Fairy
Tale Cushion by Heather Alstead Design, Language of Love Print by Coulson
Macleod)
Of course, Valentine’s Day isn't all about
couples. It’s about celebrating love in general and therefore, it can be used
as another excuse to show someone how much they’re appreciated in your life.
You may argue that you do this every day of the year and that love shouldn't
have one day in 365 dedicated to it but doesn't it make it a bit more special
if it’s not a daily occurrence? We all know that we don’t always show how much
we love our nearest and dearest, so this is the perfect opportunity to make a
conscious effort to brighten up someone’s day.
Why be a bitter singleton when you can have
a much-needed catch-up dinner with your single friends? If you feel like
burning your exes stuff in a party afterwards then so be it but make sure you
feel and acknowledge all the love that you’re lucky enough to have!

2 Places To Buy Cheap Discount Clothes Online
So you love shopping, but you don't love the price that comes with it. There's always some item you want to purchase, but you find yourself putting it back and changing your mind because the price just isn't worth it.
We've all been through the same predicament over and over again. The circle seems never-ending like it's never going to stop. That's why I researched relentlessly through the web for the best discount clothing stores. The two listed below were the ones that I felt met my frugal requirements.
599 Fashion is a warehouse direct shopping store. As the name states, everything is $5.99 or under.
Heavenly Couture is another discount clothing store. They sell everything for $16 or less. They also have a flat rate shipping of $6.
New Syfy Show: Heroes Of Cosplay
Syfy is one of my favorite TV channels to watch. I'm always excited when they come out with another good show and movie. I would have never guessed that their next new show would be about cosplay (costume play). "Heroes Of Cosplay" is a six part documentary series that revolves around the lives of nine hardcore cosplaying fans.
There's many of us that has cosplayed at least once before who will enjoy this show. Even if you haven't, this show will be very entertaining to watch. I can't wait to see what anime or game inspired outfits the nine contestants will make. We still have until August 13 to find out.
For more information follow Heroes of Cosplay on Facebook. You can also check out the trailer below.
