Five Tips to Look Fabulous for Your 7am Class

So, somehow you got what so many college students try to avoid: A 7a.m. class. And, if you're trying to get there on time, this probably means that you are up by around 6am, right? That's definitely an early time of the day to try and look your best.

It's an early time to think about it, but it's certainly not an impossible thing to do.


Do you want some tips on how to look "noontime fabulous" first thing in the morning? If so, we have five great ways that will be sure to have you appearing "bright-eyed and bushy tailed", even if you'd really rather just go back to sleep:

Get some rest the night before. 

As much as we may not want to admit it, as much as we may want to hang out with our friends all night, the reality is that one of the best beauty tips that anyone can apply is to get plenty of rest. In order to have a fresh-looking face, 6-8 hours is an absolute must.

Preplan your outfit. 

There's a pretty good chance that each morning, you're going to debate with yourself about the fact that you can sleep for 10 more minutes (and then possibly 10 more).

Then, by the time that you do actually get out of bed, you'll be rushing to get showered and dressed.

This could mean dirty jeans and a wrinkled shirt. You can avoid that simply by picking out your outfit (and ironing it) the night before.

Use water (on your face).  

A shower will wake your body up, but cool water will perk up the skin on your face (as well as close up your pores).

If you would like to give off a fresh dewy look, it also doesn't hurt to get a spray bottle and fill it almost to the top with some distilled water and then a few drops of tea tree oil (make sure to not spray it directly into your eyes, though). It's a wonderful antiseptic and it proves a nice, little sheen.

Don't forget mascara and lip gloss. 

OK, say that you're going to have big test tomorrow in your masters education class and this is one time when you haven't been able to get as much sleep as you need (or would like).

You put your head down at 3:30 (a.m., that is) and already your alarm is letting you know that it's time to start a new day. If this is the case, probably the last thing on your mind is putting on a full face of makeup, but even so, there are two things that you absolutely cannot go without: mascara and lip gloss.

 Mascara will make your eyes appear larger (and brighter) and lip gloss is simply a "must have accessory". There is no class that's so demanding that you should show up with crusty lips.

Eat something. 

Energy is a wonderful beauty accessory and a great way to get a bit of an energy boost is to start off with breakfast in the morning.

If you can't make it to the student union in time for a full meal, make sure to at least have some fruit, yogurt or nuts and to take some water along with you. The little "shot of sugar" will kick in by the first few minutes of class. Excellent.

    Other than alarm clocks, use a timer on a light in your bedroom that will turn on at the time you need to wake up. I find that alarm clocks on cell phones are quite good because you can set them to go off with whatever melody you need to.

    Try eating healthier, going to bed earlier, and don't eat food before you go to sleep. All of those things will get you up earlier,

Pore shrinking mask recipes from home

A face with large open pores when seen from close quarters doesn’t look so good. While it’s quite common for oily skins to have a tendency towards open pores, an attack of pimples also leaves ugly scars and open pores behind.  Even though the scars may fade away after some time, open pores appear to be more obstinate and hardly show any signs of shrinking.  Age also takes its toll by giving an uneven/pigmented tone to the skin and making the open pores more prominent. Heredity could also be a contributing factor in determining your pore size. It’s not easy to get rid of these pores or shrink them completely or permanently using serums, lotions or face packs. Even resorting to drastic chemical/surgical procedures at the dermatologist’s isn’t quite capable of giving satisfactory results.  Nevertheless, you can try and minimize their appearance at least temporarily with clever makeup and a few natural skin care masks such as these: * Cleanse your face with a mild ...

Home remedies for sleeplessness

The day dawns beautifully for those who have had a night of good sleep. But the same day drags on for those who have spent a disturbing, sleepless night. Sleep is a biological necessity even as eating and drinking are. Sufficient sleep renders a person normally sociable, lively and high-spirited. It’s a nature’s way of rejuvenating the person for the next day. Realize all this, and make sleep a physiological habit. The consequences of long time sleep deprivation can be very grave. Lack of sleep takes its toll on the skin and hair. It causes acne-breakouts and makes one look aged and haggard beyond years. Experts opine that during sleep as our metabolic rate falls, blood goes to those areas which need the most repairing. This also steps up the production of collagen and keratin, which aid the regeneration of skin cells and help resist premature ageing. So for a younger looking and a problem free skin you need to have a good quality of sleep every night.

Aspirin for acne-prone skin

Aspirin has been around for a long time and its health benefits are wide and varied. Aspirin , or acetylsalicylic acid is a salicylate drug, often used as an analgesic to relieve minor aches and pains , as an antipyretic to reduce fever , and as an anti-inflammatory medication. Aspirin's greatest benefit is reducing cardiovascular events including heart attacks and strokes. According to the American Heart Assoc. virtually all women are at risk of heart disease and doctors should more strongly consider prescribing a daily aspirin for their female patients. There is growing evidence to suggest regular aspirin use may reduce cancer and dementia as well. Investigators from the Women's Health Study have reported important new findings demonstrating that aspirin reduces the risk of a first stroke in women. When given to someone immediately after a heart attack, aspirin decreases death by 25%.
