While some of you may already be using these, there are many that have never even considered the possibilities! So here are a few easy-peasy tips for tough economic times:
First thing: always shop the drug store for your make-up, not only are the (off-brand/store-brand)or popular brand name cosmetics good-most of the time they even beat out high end department store brands! They are not only cheaper, they are as effective and at times prove to "work" even better than their competitors.
Second: tools and implements such as eyelash curlers,tweezers, curling irons, flat irons, hot rollers and such are cheaper and work as effectively as high-end items if purchased at large food sellers(Meijer & Walmart), and discount stores
such as places like Target,or Kmart.
Third: Always check beauty supply stores, most things other than hair-dyes and certain relaxers may be purchased by the general public.
When to go high-end? Need to go somewhere fabulous? Get a make over at a favorite beauty counter. Resist any hard sell to get you to buy something, and there you have it looking great as you leave with all new high-end products on your face! Always collect the take-home samples, for further use-they may take a phone number/e-mail address and will "bug" you possible regarding the products.
Beauty for fun:
Take out all the samples perfumes from your Sunday newspaper: use them a new scent each day-will make anyone feel beautiful! If you don't want to actually use them open them and use them a drawer sachets! Stick them in your laundry room, in your luggage, car, or even in the locker at the gym!
Always collect as many freebies as possible: go directly to a web-site of a product you love and most will have you sign up for e-mail and in return you get a small sample/or coupon.
And lastly, Turn over you bottles! Seriously I know your parents do this (um can you say Ketchup bottle?) Alot is wasted in shampoo/conditioner & lotion bottles-turn over for another few more days or applications you will be surprised by what you throw away!
Always remember the most beautiful make overs for free are sleep & smiles! They both make all the difference in your world and to those around and that's beautiful and free!

Beauty in CoCo
By Mary Caliendo
The epitome of Fashion and design was that of CoCo Channel. Her given name was Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel. She was born on August 19, 1883 in Saumur France. She died January 10, 1971 at the age of 87 years old in Paris France.
She was considered a modernist. She is credited with inspiring women's fashion in a menswear fashion. She was considered Time 100 Most Important Person of the 20th Century.
In 1924, with the famous Wertheimer brothers perfume house Bourgeois they embarked into a partnership to create Channel Perfume.
Here is a couple of great sayings from CoCo herself:
In Order to be irreplaceable one must always be different!
A girl should be two things: Classy and Fabulous!
Always different, ever inspiring and always very classy is CoCo Chanel and that is fabulous.

Beautiful Noise?
Can you hear what I hear? Not everything emits a beautiful noise!
Conversation, construction, sirens, schools bells, and spring weather warning systems; these are all noises but they are mostly unwanted, loud and sometimes ominous. For the most part, this type of loud clatter and din is what types of noises that often reach the loudest of decibels and are often not good for our hearing. Such is, the highly reported case with the ipod for example something that most teens do everyday, doing at times irreparable damage to the ear and hearing. But what about simple home appliances like the vacuum cleaner? Very loud indeed!
Consulting with facts at http://www.quietpavement.com/ Noises that we may encounter sometimes as much as daily, are not only annoying, they can be downright unbearable. For instance a household blender comes in at about 80 decibels and that is considered a bearable noise. The vacuum comes in at the annoying level of around 90 decibels! And now that it is summer time with dogs barking, lawn mowers mowing and jackhammers working~the noise is deafening!
For the worker with the jackhammer in operation, it rings in at a whopping 140 decibels! That is considered the painful level! The level for gentle conversation is at an acceptable level of 50!
The anxiety and stress levels of the construction worker may rise as well as threatening his hearing thus putting him in a constant risk situation for his/her health.
Let's hope that with good weather we can hear more of the simple beautiful noises like the sounds of swishing leaves in the canopy of trees overhead, along with the whistle of the robin and chirps of the finches that fill them!
