| 8 Ways To Get Makeup To Last Longer … Posted: 04 Apr 2011 10:53 AM PDT  Getting makeup to last the entire day is no easy feat. If you're one of those women who are able to do this with minimal effort, then I applaud you! I'm sure there are plenty of other women out there (myself included) who would like to be in your shoes. The key to getting your makeup to last longer is partly to do with effective application and partly to do with choosing the right kind of products. Below are just a few ways to get makeup to last longer. 1. Prepare Your Skin
Photo Credit: sheknows.com It's important to start with clean skin. Cleanse and tone your skin as necessary. This will help in removing the surface oils on your skin that are likely to cause makeup to fade and smear. For best results, choose products that are designed for your skin type. 2. Prepare Your Base
Photo Credit: women.webmd.com Moisturising your skin will help provide a smooth canvas for which to apply your makeup. For extra staying power, invest in a quality makeup primer. Makeup primers help create a long-lasting base for your makeup. Primers should be applied after the application of moisturiser and before foundation. 3. Choose The Right Foundation For You
Photo Credit: women.webmd.com Look for foundations with long-lasting formulas, be it liquid or powder. Ideally, an oil-free foundation would be the way to go. Much like primers, foundations will help give makeup such as eyeshadows and blushes something to 'cling' to. If you are blessed with clear skin and an even skin tone, you may choose to forgo a foundation altogether and simply use a primer instead. |

| Posted: 04 Apr 2011 10:35 AM PDT  Writing has become a popular way for people to earn income from home. Of course with writing there is always the need for editors. If you've thought about becoming an editor yourself, then you might want to take a look at the following list. Here are 7 tips on being an editor and what might help you succeed in this line of work. 7. Enroll in a couple of writing coursesA good editor is able to write well. Take a couple of writing classes and try your hand at composing some meaningful pieces. You need to be aware of proper grammar, sentence structure, and have a handle on the language you are writing in. It's difficult to be a good editor when you have trouble with writing a simple sentence. 6. Call up your local newspaper to see if they need an editorEven if you can land only a part time gig as an editor, every little bit of experience helps. It wouldn't hurt to simply talk with the editor of the newspaper to see what this job entails. You might learn something you didn't know and you also might be able to tell if this is a job you actually would like to do. 5. Read as much as possibleI'm always surprised at how many mistakes I pick up when reading different forms of literature. I'll spot mistakes in advertisements, editorial pieces, and sometimes even in a novel I'm reading. Being an editor requires you to do a lot of reading and rather quickly as well. The more you read, the easier it will be to accurately skim over passages and spot mistakes without taking all day to read the same piece over and over again. |
| 7 Reasons to Leave a Bad Job … Posted: 04 Apr 2011 10:30 AM PDT  Being unhappy in your place of work can really affect your quality of life. Instead of shutting your eyes and sticking it out relentlessly, you need to sensibly evaluate the pros and cons of finding a new way to bring home the bacon. To help you make this important decision, I've done some research and drawn up this list of 7 reasons to leave a bad job. 1. Your Boss is Taking AdvantageA job where you feel your boss is constantly demanding that you go above and beyond the parameters of your job description is probably not one you want to stay in forever. Remember, though, there's a big difference between being pushed to do better and being used: a hard-ball encouraging boss will ask you to redo shoddy work while an advantage taker will make you pick up her dry cleaning even though you're head accountant and not a PA. 2. You're UnderpaidThis is an important one, and again, it's important to do some research and even ask for a pay rise before you simply walk out. To begin with, you need to make sure that you really are getting paid too little. Get hold of a pay scale for people in your industry; if this says you're underpaid, take the matter up with your boss and ask for an increase. If this request is refused, resign. 3. You're UncomfortableIf there's an element of your job that makes you feel very uneasy, you need to sit down and analyse exactly what the problem is. Chances are you're being asked to do something that grates on your moral sensibilities and you need to decide whether it's you or the job that's at fault. If it's job, walk away and find something better that isn't ethically questionable. |
| 7 Teen Books About Relationships … Posted: 04 Apr 2011 09:56 AM PDT  Have you read a great teen book about relationships that you truly enjoyed? It seems like no one understands what a teen is going through these days! If you are with me, let me here a round of applause! Sometimes, it is hard to know the best way to deal with a situation, or how to say a great come-back when I don't even know what to say. And relationships can be hard, sometimes. It's true, half the time I find myself asking, "Well, how do I deal with that?" or "What do I need to tell him this time?" Even dealing with my brothers and sisters can be challenging. And the whole time all this is going on inside my head, my best friend is mad at me, my boyfriend just broke up with me, and I got into a fight and blew my top at someone I love more than life. Below, I have made a list of 7 teen books about relationships that I have gotten a lot of help from reading. 1. Before You Meet Your Prince Charming
2. Making Brother and Sisters Best Friends
3. Guys Are Like Waffles Girls Are Like Spaghetti

| Top 7 Video Game Powerups Ever … Posted: 04 Apr 2011 09:43 AM PDT  One of the best parts about playing video games is doing things that could never be possible in real life. The things that make that possible are video game powerups. Items that make us larger than life and more powerful than virtually anything. Sometimes they let us fly, while other times they let us become super monsters bent on destruction. Either way, if you want to own in a video game, here are the best ways. 7. The Nuke- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
This is an elite powerup. To earn it you must consecutively kill 24 opponents, and in a game like Call of Duty that is never an easy task. Upon earning your nuke it immediately starts a short countdown to the end of the match no matter how much time is left on the clock. When the time hits zero its BLAMMO for everyone on the map. Game over. 6. Spread Attack- Contra
Contra is a game that's all about the powerups. You're a soldier on the run fighting the hordes of enemies thrown your way and your only weapon is a gun upgradable with varying powerups changing the style of your shot. They range from rapid fire to flame thrower, but the best is definitely the spread shot. It spread bullets out all over the screen, killing everything ahead and making the game a breeze. 5. Power Pellet- Pac-Man
This might just be the most classic of video game powerups. We've all played this game and we all love picking this one up to turn the tides on the ghosts whose sole purpose is to exterminate us. |
| 9 Reasons I Loathe My Cell Phone … Posted: 04 Apr 2011 09:23 AM PDT  Don't' get me wrong — there are times when I adore my cell phone, when it's my favorite thing in the world, when I love it more than tacos. But there times when I hate the thing, and here's why. Here are 9 reasons I loathe my cell phone. 1. I can't remember anyone's phone number!I used to know all of my friends' and family's phone numbers by heart, and now I only know my mother's and my boyfriend's numbers. That's right, I don't even know my own daughter's phone number. That's because I never have to dial numbers, or write them in a phone book. My cell phone does all of the dialing, and I miss my memory… 2. I'm available 24/7/365I fondly recall the days when clients would only call me on my office line, during normal business hours. Now, I'm available to clients, friends, family, and old high school nemeses at all hours of the day or night, and even on weekends and holidays. No-one ever seems to want to talk Monday through Friday, from 8 in the morning until 5 at night. They all want to talk on Sunday morning at 6, or on Thursday night at 11. 3. Stop the texting and CALL ME!If I was annoyed a few years ago when people wouldn't stop calling me, I'm even more irritated now what people never call me, and send me a flurry of text messages instead. In the time it took us to text back and forth, we could have actually spoken and resolved the issue. And, I admit, since I'm not the world's fastest typist (especially with those teensy QWERTY keys), in the time it takes me to compose a reply to a text, the sender has already sent me two more messages… ahh! |
| 8 Everyday Products You Can Use in Original Ways … Posted: 04 Apr 2011 08:53 AM PDT  We all have stuff just lying around the house, everyday products and items that we’d usually just throw away and ignore. However, a lot of these items you can use in original ways that may surprise you. Rather than letting household items go to waste, you should make use of them in any way you can. To get started, check out these everyday products you can use in original ways! 1. Rubbing AlcoholI always have this stuff in the house, although to be honest, I rarely use it for what it’s for (actually, I don’t think I’ve ever used it for anything except cleaning earrings). However, this particular household product can be used to remove things like marker stains from the walls and other surfaces. Considering that I have white walls and lots of scuff marks, this makes me happy! 2. ClothespinsAlthough not everybody has clothespins, they’re cheap and easy to buy, and worth the effort even if you don’t hang your clothes out to dry. When you’re not that great with other tools, like hammers and nails (I’m raising my hand here), then clothespins can be a great alternative. Specifically, you can use the pins to clamp nails and hold them in place when you have to hammer them, thereby reducing the risk of smashed fingers! 3. Soda BottlesOr pop bottles, as the Better Half calls them, can be extraordinarily helpful around the house. You can save some of them back from the recycling containers and put one in the back of the toilet tank. What? No, really, it can help conserve water if you don’t have one of the new efficient models. You can fill it up with water, first, so that it will take up more room, thus making your tank use less water. |
| Posted: 04 Apr 2011 08:48 AM PDT  Ever since I read one of Marilyn Manson's books, I have gained a lot of interest in him. I mean, he is exactly what I like, a character. At least, that is what I think of him as. Although, it is not just his character that I like, I also like his music and while many of you will protest this, I am not afraid to admit it. Right now, for those of you that are interested in reading some facts, I am going to give you 7 facts on Marilyn Manson … 7. Original NameHis original name is Brian Warner and he was born in Canton, Ohio. Although, his mother calls him Brian still, but his dad calls him Manson. His name is a combination of Marilyn Monroe and Charles Manson. 6. ProtestThere are many religious groups and right-wingers that are protesting Manson to this day. In fact, when the Columbine shooting happened in 1999, he was put under fire. He had to cancel his Rock is Dead tour. Personally, I do not think he was to blame for this one. 5. NegligenceMarilyn Manson was charged with negligence in the death of Jennifer Swyme when she died during an automobile accident after attending a party that Marilyn Manson threw. For those of you that do not know, she dated actor Keanu Reeves. |
| 8 Ways To Make Your Home Environment Friendly … Posted: 04 Apr 2011 08:33 AM PDT  More and more people are becoming environment conscious today and are looking for ways to make their lifestyles more environment-friendly. There are many ways in which you can ensure that you have the least possible negative impact on the environment, including making the right changes in your home. Here are ways to make your home environment friendly. 1. Use solar powerWhat was extremely complicated as well as expensive some time ago has become far more accessible now. Installing solar panels and using solar energy to provide electricity in your house is one of the best ways to make your home environment friendly. 2. Rain water harvestingIf you have even a small garden or a back yard, you can get rain barrels to harvest rain water. You can then use this water for activities like watering your garden, washing your car etc. and put less pressure on community resources. 3. Managing water in the houseEnsure that there is no wastage of water in the house. Fix leaking taps. Also consider getting aerosol spray faucets which also come in add on attachments for existing taps. These will ensure that the water pressure from the tap is high while water usage is minimal. |
