The Cellular Ecosystem: Guarantee Of The Skin`s Youth

Loreal Derma Genesis Day Cream




Every little part of you is important. Cells are the smallest living entries that make up our body tissues. Each cell is an independent system that multiplies, purifies, stores energy, renews and sometimes even destroy itself.
However, cells are dependent on the quality of its environment, also known as its biotope. Cellular activity, especially cellular renewal, is greatly enhanced when the cell is placed in the ideal environment.
Skin`s source of youth lies in the creation of new cells. With time, the skin produces fewer and fewer cells, leaving the skin looking dull and old. As early as 25, the first signs of ageing appear like brown spots, eye bags and fine lines. These signs persist and develop as you continue to grow old.
For the first time*, a skincare product combining a unique association of brand-new active ingredients, which target the cellular ecosystem** in order to favor the creation of new skin cells...

Lurve Lips

Bright red lips are bold and super-sexy, full stop. If you`re a virgin, start by using glossy, sheer reds and work your way up to sock-it-to-him reds.

Try-it-tonight tips...
* For the perfect lip line, use a neutral lip crayon, but don`t stop there-use it fill in as well. Then add your lipstick on top. This tactic means, are your lip colour wears off, you`re not left with a hard outline.
* When you`re using really bright red, don`t make the cupid`s bow too perfect-it can be a touch too Mini Mouse. Knock the peaks of your upper lip down a bit for a more rounded, luscious result.
* If you have thin lips, red lipstick can make them look thinner. The solution is to apply it, blot it and then add lots of gloss on top, making sure you add the most shine to the centre of the bottom lip.
* Don`t match nail colour to lipstick-it looks tacky. Instead, go for a darker shade(use a wine colour as a base with a bright red on top).

Eye Love Hues

When it comes to eyeshadow, nude is sexy."It looks clean and confident and lets the lipstick zing out,"says make-up guru Daniel Sandler. Fletcher agrees:"Emphasis could come from a streak of eyeliner and lashings of mascara."

Try-it-tonight tips...

Brush it lightly over the top and extend it beyond your first flush- it has the effect of softening edges for a sexy blur.

What Happens When Bogeyman Is No Longer A Child`s Biggest Fear?

* Maintain family tradition like holidays and birthdays, even if you don`t feel like celebrating. Try not to become too preoccupied with your own concerns and anxieties.
* So that you can be there for your children, it is important to take care of yourself, both emotionally and physically. Be aware of your own stress level, and if you are feeling overwhelmed, seek support from family, friends, spiritual counselors and, if necessary, a health professional.
* Remember that children are very perceptive of adult`s behavior and emotional responses. Children see and understand more than you may think and are very sensitive to your fears and anxieties. Be mindful of what you say and do, and if possible, minimize children`s exposure to conversation truly meant for adults. While it`s okay to admit your concerns in front of the children, be sure to also emphasize your ability to cope.
* It`s not always possible to accurately gauge when children are feeling scared or worried. Be alert to clues such as your child`s expressions, play activities or angry outbursts which may signal a child`s unspoken need to talk. Watch the dramatic behavior changes. While it is normal for a child to express feelings of anger, fear o sadness after a crisis, if these feelings persist or get worse over time, there`s no shame in contacting a mental health professional.
* Monitor your child`s exposure to news and media coverage. If children see this information on television, watch it with them and talk to them afterwards to clarify any misunderstanding.
* Reassure your children. Remind them that they are precious to you and that you are taking every precaution to keep them safe.

Beauty Forecast

"Guys and Dolls"
Borrow a little something from the boys with a masculine or slicked-back hairdo, but combine it with vampy red lips. Keep the rest of your face soft and sweet, and you`ll be surprized at how sexy you can look. Think Agyness Deyn or Keira knightly when looking for hair inspiration, and pair it with Gwen stefani or Dita von Teese`s signature scarlet pout.




"Sound The Alarm"
The tousled waves, the sultry eyes: everything about this is soft, yet extremely appealing. This just-go-out-of-bed look is great for romantic dates with your main squeeze. Channel Kim Basinger in 9 1/2 weeks, or copy Kate Hudson`s relaxed curls and watch as all eyes focus on you.




"Almond Famous"
Take a bit of 60`s(without too much mod flavor) and throw a little rocker attitude. The result? A kohl-lined, pink-cheeked doll with a rebellious streak. This is how Amy Winehouse would look of she cut her beehive in half and tried this eyes instead of her signature thickly-lined peepers. The result would be pretty not parody.

Teach Kids How to Handle Money

Give Allowance To Your Child:
Giving some money as allowance to your child is the first important step in teaching him about money. For how could he possibly learn to spend wisely when he has nothing to spend in the first place? Thus, allowance is a tool for the kid. The amount may vary but the idea remains the same; give some money to the child so he could learn how to spend.
Bring The Kids Along When Buying Groceries:
Bring the kids when doing the grocery so they can have a hands-on experience on the prices of commodities. The experience can have a sobering effect on them, and can make them money smart, especially if they are involved in the making of family budget.
Pay Them For Completing a Task:
You hire a utility man to paint your fence. Why not let your kids do the job and pay them instead? Pay your teens for completing certain tasks. In a way, they will learn hard work and the value of money. But bear in mind that kids should never be paid for sharing household chores like cleaning the toilet, or washing the dishes.
Teach Them How To Use Their Money;
Now that the kids have money, the next step is to instill in their young mind how the money should be spent. No, don`t give them a long list of what to buy or what not to buy. That decision should come from them and you should leave it at that.
Teach Kids Not To Work For Money, But Instead, To Work With Money:
In other words, teach kids to become entrepreneurs. Encourage them to be creative and make things they can sell and make profit. Encourage them to invest their savings in little ventures that will make their money grow. Painting, cross-stitching, or baking cookies are just a few ventures that will challenge children`s creativity and bring out the entrepreneur in them. to further encourage children, talk uncles and aunties into buying the kids` products.
Involve Your Kids In Your own Budgeting And Spending:
The parents of four kids teach money skills to their children by involving them in the making of a family budget. they all sit around a table with the week`s money on it. The parents decide how much should be spent on food, clothing, gasoline, etc and then allocated the money for it. The children learn firsthand where the money goes and how much is left, if there is any, after all expenses had been taken care of.
Encourage Kids To Share Some Part Of Their Money:
The way to double your money is to give, following the biblical mandate, that whatever you give will come back to you a hundredfold. make sure that you instill in their young mind the willingness to share their money to the needy. Encourage them to donate some of their allowance to the poor or to charitable institutions. The best way to do this is, of course, by your own example. Let them see you donating goods, money or services to the impoverished neighbors and children will immediately catch on with the idea without much prodding on your part.

How To Love Your Body

Before you answer, consider this reality check: When your body talks, what does it say? Are your eyes puffy and tired? Do your feet hurt? Are you still complaining about lingering "baby fat"although your "baby" now holds a valid driver`s license? Do you avoid the doctor`s office by any means necessary? If you`ve answered yes to any of these questions, chances are you`ve been so inundated with responsibilities that you`ve neglected caring for yourself.
