D.I.Y. Matte Lips

 

 

 

Finding your favorite lip color in matte can be hard. Most of the time the company either makes the shade glossy or matte not both. Below you will find three simple and easy steps to turn any lipstick or gloss into a matte lip color.

 

 

 

Things you will need:

 

 

Your favorite Lippie, A powder brush & A translucent powder

 

 

 

Apply your favorite lip color

 

 

 

 

Softly pat and sweep the translucent powder across your lips

 

 

 

 

Once the translucent powder is applied, your lips will be beautifully matte

Xtava Spiral Curler

Lets talk curls! I have tried everything from a traditional curler to the Instyler Tulip. Nothing seems to make and hold curls like the Xtava Spiral curler! Achieve perfectly symmetric curls every time with the Xtava Curlz spiral guide. Never again will you forget to turn off your Curler with the LED button indicating the device is on. The xtava curlz handle is made of high quality insulation materials designed for safety. The secure hold clip guarantees the perfect curl as it locks your hair in place. 360 Degree rotating swivel cord allowing complete freedom of movement.

  I have extremely thick hair that never wants to hold curls, even when I use a ton of hairspray. I'm lucky to hold curls for an hour. With the Xtava Spiral Curler it starts curling with in 30 seconds but I recommend at lease 60 seconds for a nice firm curl. When you clip in your hair its like it knows where to go. It simply and easily guides your hair in place. My curls stayed on their own with no hairspray and lasted for hours!

 I also like the "safe guard" (what guides your hair) it doesn't get very hot. I even left it pressed against my skin while curling with no burns or hurting. All in all I am very impressed. This curler comes in three color choices, pink, blue and orange. It is currently on sale for $19.99.

We Choose Virtues

Teaching our young children the main virtues of life is vital to a better tomorrow. As a mother, a Aunt and a Sunday school teacher, I know the importance of showing our young children which path to take. At We Choose Virtues they provide parents and teachers alike with the specific tools and programs to further their children's education in many ways.

Their 12 Virtues flash card pack is safe to use in public schools along in private and religious ones. I personally use my flash cards in my Sunday school class room. I Like the fact that each card is in full vibrant colors which helps to catch the eye of young children and keep them interested. Anther nice feature is the on the back of each card. They basically break it into sections for you, making it easier to teach each card and it's importance.

On the Back of each card you will find 5 sections. The first section is the "Teaching Tip" section. Here you will find a few suggestive sentences you may use when explaining the meaning of the card to your class room or children. The next section will be "Virtue User Challenge" Here you will find a suggestion as to what you should do that day. For example on the "Content" card your challenge would be to go through the entire day without saying "I am bored"  or "I want". You will also find a "You will Need" section, "What to say after "I'm Sorry" and a "Fun demonstration" section.

All in all these cards are great! It is a fun ay to get each and every child in your life leaning more on self control and how to become a better person for a better tomorrow. After all our young children are the future of tomorrow and if we do not teach them right from wrong who will?

I was able to give a set of these away to one of my lucky fans on my facebook fan page congrats to Sheila Brodbeck.

Author Hans M. Hirschi

Hans M Hirschi (b. 1967) has been writing stories ever since he was a child. Adulthood and the demands of corporate life efficiently put an end to his fictional writing for over twenty years.

A global executive in training and channel development, Hans has traveled the world and had previously published non-fictional titles.

The birth of his son and the subsequent parental leave provided him with the opportunity to unleash his creative writing once again. With little influence over his brain’s creative workings, he indulges it, going with the flow.

A deeply rooted passion for, faith in a better world, in love, tolerance and diversity are a red thread throughout both his creative and non-fictional work. His novels might best be described as “literary romance, engaging characters and relevant stories that won’t leave you untouched, but hopeful.”

Hans is a proud member of the Swedish Writers’ Union, the Writers’ Center in Sweden and serves as chair of the Swedish Federation of Self- & Independent Publishers.
