All About EYEBROWS

Eyebrows are one of the most important features on your face!

Even though my eyebrows are dark, the outer hairs are much thinner. Filling them in balances them out.

 

The Best Brows For Your Face Shape

I volunteer for a wonderful program called LGFB - Look Good Feel Better. We help women with cancer deal with the appearance related side effects of treatment. Loss of eyebrows has been the number one concern that I have heard from women in these classes.

Eyebrow Tips & Techniques

• Choose powder eyebrow color or an eyebrow pencil in a shade that resembles your haircolor.
   
• Use the pencil to make a dot on your browbone directly above the inside corner of your eye. This is where the eyebrow should begin.
   
• Place another dot on your browbone directly above the outer edge of the iris – the colored part of your eye. This dot marks the highest point of the arch.
   
• Place the pencil diagonally from the bottom corner of your nose past the outside corner of your eye. Draw a small dot to define the endpoint of your eyebrow – it should be slightly higher than the inner corner.
   
• Connect the dots with light, feathery strokes of color in an upward motion, tapering the shape as you come to the endpoint.
   
• Gently blend and soften with an eyebrow brush or the brush end of the pencil.
   
• If you need guidance, a Look Good Feel Better group will be happy to teach you firsthand.

Eyebrow Stencils

If you feel more comfortable with a clearly defined guide, you may opt for eyebrow stencils. Choose the shape that best resembles your eyebrows and fill in with the same light, feathery, upward stokes as above. Avoid the peel-and-stick type of stencils – their glue may interfere with your treatment.

Apply lighter, softer strokes to match lighter color hair, including blonde and silver. Press harder for darker hair, including medium brown to black. As a finishing touch, lightly brush through brows for a natural, polished look.

Grey's Anatomy - Words to make us think...

"A doctor puts on his white coat to save lives, defy death. But once he takes it off, he's vulnerable, just like anybody else... Human.

We're all gonna die. We don't get much say over how or when. 

But we do get to decide how we're gonna live. So do it. Decide... 

Is this the life that you wanna live? Is this the person you wanna love? Is this the best you can be? Can you be stronger? Kinder? More compassionate? 

Decide... Breathe in. Breathe out. And decide.

The waiting can kill you. You make a decision and then the world has to turn.

The consequences unfold, out of your hands. There's only one thing that seems clear, in those quiet moments while you wait. Whatever you chose was wrong.

We just want to survive the storm. We pray, please God just get me to the other side. We never imagine what it would be like when we get there.

What if, when the storm passes, nothings left. 

I always said I could handle anything. But I was wrong. I was wrong about a lot of things.

But I was right about one thing. I was right about this."

Stylish & Comfortable MID-HEELS: DSW (Fall/Winter)

It is definitely a challenge for me to find stylish shoes that have a heel height of  3" or less. Flats are terrible for my back and usually have no arch support. The mid-heels are actually more comfortable because they force me to stand up straight. Here are some great finds currently at DSW - Designer Shoe Warehouse. If you see a pair that you like below just visit DSW and search the Item #.

The best things in life cannot be seen, or even touched; they must be felt with the heart. -Helen Keller
