Fan of Angelina Jolie’s gorgeous full lips? Unfortunately we’re not all blessed with plump lips, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enhance what you have and attain that one world’s hottest women Angelina lips! Try this beauty tips trick to get a lush effect.

Define the lips with a pencil lip liner, go right outside of her natural lip line.
Dab on a berry lip stain, blending it into the inside of your mouth (the soft part next to your teeth).
Using a brush, apply concealer around your top and bottom lip lines to prevent smudging.
Pat in the concealer with your finger to set it and help define the shape of your mouth
Top off your lips with a clear sparkly gloss. When the light reflects off them, they’ll appear larger.
Another trick that have found to make your lips fuller, is to apply a white, shimmery eyeshadow just above the Cupid’s bow

Women’s Health – Stress Signs

Posted by pinksoda on May 8th, 2012

Chronic stress being one of the biggest and common Women’s health issues has serious health consequences (think migraines, depression, heart disease), but most women don’t even realize how frazzled they are. Learn to recognize your body’s stress signs.

NOSE
Stress Signal: You’re sneezing and sniffing. Stress can up your reaction to allergens because it weakens your immune system.

Chill Out Tip: Over-the-counter allergy meds can help, but so can exercise. Regular 30-minute workouts speed the release of epinephrine, your body’s natural decongestant.

SKIN
Stress Signal: You’re breaking out. When tense, your body pumps out extra adrenaline that prompts the emission of sebum, your skin’s pimple causing oil. As production of one goes up, so does the other.

Chill Out Tip: Wash problem areas twice a day. Gel-or-foam-based cleansers are best for dissolving oil. If those don’t cut the grease, ask your derm for a sebum-busting retinoid cream.

HAIR
Stress Signal: Your scalp patchy. Anxiety may put your strands into no-grow mode because stress hormones can interfere with hair growth.

Chill Out Tip: Make sure you’re getting enough iron, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamin B12, all of which promote hair health. Nosh on foods like broccoli and salmon.

JAW
Stress Signal: Your jaw feels like it’s on fire.You may be grinding your teeth at night, an action triggered by tension.

Chill Out Tip: Press a warm washcloth against your jaw for five minutes before you hit the hay. The heat will relax your muscles and help cut down on grinding. Not working? See your dentist to get fitted for a mouth guard.

STOMACH
Stress Signal: You’re ravenous for junk food.High levels of cortisol, your body’s stress hormone can prompt you to crave sweets (Thank your cave sisters who needed quick energy boosts to deal with tense situations.)

Chill Out Tip: Your cravings will last as long as cortisol is rushing through your body, so swap an unsatisfying high-calorie eating spree for some sweet-tasting sugarless gum.

PELVIC AREA
Stress Signal: Your monthly flow is showing up early, late, or not at all.When stressed, your brain sends out signals that can alter or disrupt ovulation.

Chill Out Tip: Talk to your gyno about oral contraceptives. Birth-control pills can rebalance your reproductive hormone levels and get your cycle back on track.
