Natural Beauty Inside Out
Lately, I’ve been stalking some French fashion blogs and Le Monde de Tokyobanhbao is one of my current faves. The blogger is so cute and I love her photographs and art. I’m not sure if she is Japanese but she does look like one doesn’t she? And her haircut is so stylish! Although her blog is based in France and written in French, but her fashion is also rather Japanese inspired. Okay, given their weather, some of the styles won’t work for us but the pictures still make nice eye candy.
If you’ve been following Viva Woman on Facebook, then you might have noticed that I’ve started to post more frequently with updates on discounts and offers. I know, I was hardly doing anything there but now, I’ve decided to keep that as a platform to announce promotions and product launches so if you’re on Facebook, do connect with me there by clicking on the badge on my sidebar. Yeah, show me some love!
I was inspired to run this challenge after listening to one of the radio programs this week on water conservation. Let’s try save some water while maintaining our beauty routines! I admit that this is hard because we’ve been taught to maintain good hygiene and to cleanse our face thoroughly. So how can we effectively save water that way? Here are six tried and tested ways recommended by Viva Woman.
Instructions on most skin care products tell us to avoid applying such products on our eye area. This is due to safety reasons to avoid seepage into our eyes. In addition, the skin around our eyes is ten times thinner than the skin on our face and hence, more sensitive. As such, extra care needs to be taken when choosing a skincare product for this area and most often than not, it is better to use dedicated products created for the eye area. However, does this mean that we definitely can’t use our toners, serums and moisturizers around our eye area?
It’s a dire situation to live with fine, limp and greasy hair; those who share my predicament know exactly the pain I’m going through. So I’m all for checking out shampoos – natural or otherwise – that will create volume or thicken my hair. That’s also why I zoomed straight in on Kiehl’s range of shampoos, when I was given the choice to pick some products on the house last week. And of course the two I picked had the words “Thickening” and “Volumizing” on them.
