Green Living - Is it For You?

When it comes to living a greener choice it’s hard to decide just how eco-friendly works for us. From using organic beauty products, to buying organic or fair trade foods, to wearing organic clothing to be willing to drive hybrid cars all depends on how far you are willing to go. Everything we do leaves a carbon footprint, it’s up to us to decide just how big.

Did you know that if 1 out of 5 women demanded that lead be removed from all lipsticks and started refusing to use any lipsticks with lead in them, that the beauty companies would have to change the ingredients? We eat our lipsticks and just think how much lead you are introducing into your body each and every time you wear a lipstick with lead in it. Not a pleasant thought is it?

How about this simple fact. Did you know that only 1% natural ingredient in a product gives those same beauty companies the right to call their product “natural”? Scary thought indeed.

Its understandable that most might not be as “green” as they could be because someone may of told them that its just to hard to do. Just how wrong they are! There are simple things that we all can do that aren’t that hard to do. For example carpooling is great idea when there is no public transportation available. With gas prices on the rise, over $4 dollars in most areas in the USA over $10 dollars overseas, carpooling looks to be a great idea.

For all those of us who tend not to eat meat here is some glad news. Did you know that it takes more energy to produce animal protein over vegetable protein? If you never thought about becoming a vegetarian or just eating less meat and meat by products is good for you and the planet over all. It cuts down on your personal carbon footprint and is healthier for you to eat more vegetables. Why not start looking into helping out your local organic farmers by visiting the local farmer markets when ever you can. The cost of gas is causing prices to rise all over including the grocery store, as well the with food prices going up not visiting your local market for fresher vegetables is a bad idea.

Start looking for products, beauty, food without excessive packaging is also helping save the trees and besides you are just going to throw it away helping fill the landfills even more. There is no real need for the extra packaging in there is a way to get around it.

Reuse all your boxes you get your packages in if at all possible, we at Overall Beauty try to do that as much as we can.

Ever thought that not asking for a ATM receipt at the gas pump or the bank and anywhere you may get a receipt for something helps reduce your carbon footprint as well? Same as banking online does, and paying your bills online does.

Simple ideas that we all can do helps with reducing our carbon footprint overall. Start thinking about what you are do as well as teach your children what they can do as well. When we all work together, we have a better life and save the planet just a little, one person at a time.

Eyelash Extensions worth it? Yes or No?

I been doing some reading up on eyelash extensions, and wow is there a lot out there if you really want to take the time to do the research! I am working on a article about it right now:
Here is the beginnings of it......

Eyelash extensions are semi-permanent and there has been some confusion on that fact. The only way you could have permanent lashes would be by having a eyelash transplant that is a new idea. Why not? Guys and ladies have gotten hair transplants for years and eyelashes are hairs.

(For real! Check out this doctor who does eyelash transplants
Dr. Bauman of http://www.eyelash-transplant.com/ )


This is not something you can do at home on your own so don’t believe anyone who says you can. This is a process that has to be done by someone who has been trained on how to do it.

(Well I found someone who has created a at home do it yourself eyelash extension kit http://www.ilovemylashes.com/)

Eyelash extensions should be undetectable by the naked eye, and last about two months or until your own lashes grow out. They say there is no need for additional mascara since the lash line is designed to be fuller and make the lashes longer. They are a great idea for brides and even some men have been known to wear them. Question becomes is, what if you have really blond lashes and really like the dark lashes?

Answer is tint your lashes first if you are blond and do it about 24 to 48 hours before going in to get extensions done. ME? I have decided after all the reading I have done this afternoon on this subject..

Give me Magic Lash any day!!

Kind Words about Magic Lash from another Beauty Blogger


I have been super busy! Me at size 10! Once I was a size 22!
My oldest son got married! I have been super busy with magic lash as well. Because of the magic lash reviews on youtube.com I just been packing up and shipping it out!
First off I had NO IDEA how much it cost for wedding these days! In the old days the brides family paid for everything but not any longer. We gave money for the food and helped out with other costs.
I got the most amazing dress! I had no idea it would look as good as it did. I am off to visit family this weekend but I got some really cool ideas for Mother's Day..

Moonlighting on the Internet by Yanik Silver

I was sitting here drinking coffee this morning and I get a knock at the door, its DHL Express with a package for me. Now I am expecting a package only its by UPS so when I opened the door there on my doorstep is a small package. I had to open it, cause I totally wasn't expecting anything by way of DHL (cause they cost me a bit mush for shipping). I opened the package only to find a book by Yanik Silver. If you don't know who he is, Google his name! The guy is great! He is young, and he does internet marketing. Something I am interested in doing, selling information not just products you have shipped to you. I have a nail care guide ebook I am putting a site together for as well as a ebook for caring for roses, so learning how to do something such as offer digital products that you just pay for and you download I have been reading up a lot about.
I open up this package to find a book called "Moonlighting on the Internet" by Yanik Silver with Robert Olic. Wow huh? There was a handwritten note telling me thank you for my help in creating this book.. HUH???? What did I do??
Then I remembered that a few months back I got a email newsletter from Yanik asking his readers what was their most AH moment that got them moving and working towards making money on the internet. I wrote back why I was on the internet, what I sold "Nail Polish" what my AH moment was. I read a quote somewhere that says "Success is not accident" and that you really need to have most was a blog!!
I only have what 3 blogs going??
http://Overallbeauty.com/beauty-blog/
http://accessbeautysecrets.com/secrets-of-beauty/
http://havecoffee.blogspot.com
I went to the back of the book in the index and oh my god I found my company website! On page 221 was my thoughts... wow huh? Talk about a AH Moment! That just means that I need to get busy on the two sites I don't have up yet.. Over Christmas break I think I will do the work I been meaning to do..
Stop by his site and sign up.. http://www.moonlightingontheinternet.com Get this!!! The real book isn't due in the bookstores as of today for 13 more days!!! Wow I am totally freaked out that I got one!!

Chipped Dark Nail Polish is a NO NO!


I get tons of magazines because I am in the beauty business. I read most of all that is in them because I like to stay up to date on whats going on out there. I got a magazine in the mail yesterday that was late coming to me. It's Sept/Oct copy of Hollywood Life special issue called Hollywood Style! with Julia Stiles on the cover. Its full of interviews and usually really awesome stuff. What bothered me wasn't the actor or what is in the magazine but for the fact that if you look at the cover you see something that just didn't fit the style of this beautiful young lady. Julia Stiles is amazing! She went back to collage while everyone else was partying and making royal asses of themselves.. (BS major example of that)
Ok on the front of the magazine is Julia Stiles, and what caught my eyes right away was the fact she is wearing dark nail polish. Thats fine that is what most of us are doing right now...BUT what caught my eyes what the fact was THE DARK NAIL POLISH IS CHIPPED!!!
You can see it plain as day!! I am sorry but if I am going to get my hair done, my makeup done and my clothes all picked out for me.. don't you think you would get your nails done as well?
I have found that when I wear dark nail polish if I use Top Rock or Extreme Rock by BB Couture my dark nail polish doesn't chip within one day, that most can. That is the biggest problem with dark nail polish.. I advise to anyone who is going to be on the cover of a magazine make sure your whole look is done, and that includes your nails!

The bottle is blue lid not red!!

Friends help Friends with their Makeup

I got such good friends. I had no idea till I got this link in my email today. Without being told about it Beautycastbabe had created a short 30 second video for Overall Beauty as a gift for helping sell their Halloween DVD and now their Holiday DVD. I went over to youtude and saw this and was so shocked and humbled that my good friend Barbara and her husband Sam would create this just for me! Do you realize just how much this would of cost me if I had to pay for it?? That is why I am so humbled by the goodness of friends who help their friends for no other reason but because they are friends. Do you have friends like that?

Dark Nail Polish, do you have a fav?


Ok Ok I never thought this would happen. Till this year I had virgin nails, virgin as in I never wore dark nail polish. I guess it just wasn't my thing. What happen was I got this box in the mail from
Cindy owner of BB Couture Nail Polish which I happen to offer. In this box was two smaller boxes both holding 6 colors. Now anytime I get something from anyone of the people who's products I offer
I get really curious and I tend to write reviews about the whatever the item might be.
So I open up this box and the nail polish boxes had written on them, released meaning they
are for sale and Not released Yet! Oh I had to open the one that had the not released ones first! **Blogger just made my image red with the image has a blue top and writing.**
Anyway this color didn't come up till Today!! It's called Dragon's Breath but the knowing Cindy was naming the whole set after fairy
tales the first thing that came to my mind was Wicked Step-Mother! And I still think of it as that color. What this color is, two shades of glitter in a BEAUTIFUL Royal Purple! I was hooked the minute I saw it! I have another product by BB Couture Nail Polish called Extreme Rock that man oh man I put on two coats of Dragon's Breath along with Extreme Rock and my polished dark nails where the hit of the show everywhere I went! You see I have short nails, and I am very blond hair and fair skin, this color if I go by what the beauty magazines say, shouldn't look good on me. What do they know anyway? And by using Extreme Rock my polish stayed on 7 days before I had to start having to add a little color to the tips. Will that work for you? I don't know it depends on how hard you are on your nails, but if you have never worn a dark nail polish before?
This is the year for you!!

Mascara Smudging Under Your Eyes Again?

Like every other woman who has to walk out that door in the morning I wear makeup.
Oh wow like I wouldn’t .. PLESSE..
There are days that no matter what my mascara smudges under my eyes. I am sure there is a secret to not having it happen and I think I figured it out. Bet you're going to ask me what am I doing aren’t you? That’s why I am here..
Ok picture this, I am putting my makeup on like I do every morning, btw I wear my own brand of mineral eye shadows and I am a faithful wearer of Black Magic Mascara and Magic Lash Can’t talk about if I don’t wear it right? So I am putting on my mineral eye shadow when I decided to be a bit different and wear it as well up close on my lower lid under my lashes. But I only decided this after I had already put on my eye shadow.
I use those really neat cotton tip scabs that you get from your local drug store cause they are round and flat on one end on the other end they are pointed. They cost a bit more but I use less. So I was using the round flat end to put on my mineral eye shadow up under my lashes and I ended up rubbing the tips of my lashes on this cotton scab. As I was applying my mineral eye shadow I also removed any wet mascara still on my lower lashes.
I didn’t think anything of it, I left to go out to run packages to the Post Office among other things I needed to do.
I stopped to look over what was new in a store line of makeup when the young lady behind the corner told me my eyes looked great! I stopped and look into the mirror and I be damn my mascara stayed in place all day! Not black under my eyes! Wow I decided to try it again the next day and it works.
The secret to keeping your mascara from smudging is really quite simple, after you apply it to your lower lashes, apply eye shadow under your lashes with a cotton scab and be sure to rub the tips of your lashes on it to get any mascara that might still be wet. It helps set your mascara. BTW Black Magic Mascara is a awesome mascara, because the company says its waterproof and I will tell you it is, I wore it when my mother in law passed away and it stay on my eyes while I was crying.. BUT the cool thing is its not hard on your eyelashes and you can wear it everyday and not have to worry.

When someone walks away, who's hurts the most?

I sitting here listening to a new person I had never heard before. I just love iTunes don't you?
Her name is A Fine Frenzy and you can buy her CD and its great stuff, If you like stuff that makes you think.
Anyway she is the giveaway song this week and I listening to a song called "almost lover"
and all I could think was, who hurts the most when it doesn't work out? I am married now
but I remember walking away from someone and never looking back. I met him again a few
years later and he was with the same women I had taken him away from. I knew when we started talking I could of done it again. Did I hurt him? Oh I bet.. Did I hurt? Well sure he was my high school love. Now I can't remember if it was love or lust. Now that I look back and see what I could of done different I am not sure it would of worked out anyway.

I know this is a bit off what I usually talk about, but I was just wondering when you break up with someone who hurts more you or him? Is it even pain or do we break up for reasons that we look back and wonder what the hell was I thinking? I had him/her in the hand and we could of had a life and I turned away from out future. Why do we not want to take the chance after the biggest break up in our lives hurts so bad you don't know if you could ever go through it again?
Its more questions than answers, but the next time you walk away, at least be willing to try again and don't lock your heart up just because it got broken once. You don't want to be the one who lives alone with house full of cats do you?

Acne Gone in Three Days?

I ran across this ebook that you can buy as a ebook or hard copy that says you can cure Acne is Three Days! Wow what a thought!
Have you ever thought what you life would be like, if your skin was crystal clear
No acne in sight, you skin is touchable soft, not dry or itchy, red? What do you think your life would be like? Do you feel you would be treated any differently if your face wasn’t broken out?
That isn’t a question that many of us asked cause we start feeling like we are being too proud, stuck up better than anyone else if we started thinking what if?
What if he saw you from across the room at a party and has never really looked at you before today? What do you think would have to be difference for him to take notice of you?
Many of us feel unimportant, hiding in the shadows cause our face has decided the day of the big party to break out and all you feel anyone is looking at is your pimples.

We know that’s its not true but our mind start playing tricks on us, as we are talking to someone new we start thinking to ourselves, is he noticing those big red pimples on my face? Is he going to want to talk to me beyond simple small talk that all parties have? Or will he start looking for someone new as soon as he can because he doesn’t want to stuck with someone who doesn’t look like she knows how to care for her skin? Not a very pretty thought, thinking what if he is only talking with me because there is no one else. Ouch even I who has clear skin is starting to feel sorry for you.

Ladies that is not the way to think! Just because your face has a red angrily pimple doesn’t mean that is the only think he is going to be looking at, not seeing the real you. How do you know if he isn’t interested in you because you have lost weight and have started holding yourself a little straighter because of that?
Ahh you didn’t think of that did you? No matter what you may think, acne is a part of life, for some its harder to deal with because you have a really bad case of it. But there are ways to help you deal with it while its healing.
There are natural ways that are a set away from the what the rest of the world thinks you should be doing, and it really helping you from the inside out. And if you have lost weight, stand proud, at any age that’s not something that’s easy to do, acne be damn! If you got time stop over at
Get Acne Free in 3 Days and see if thats something that would work for you.


Something needs to be easy ,acne be damn! Still think about this, Get rid of Acne in Three Days, what a thought!

Poverty And Obesity: A New Study Finds
A Remarkable Connection
------------------------------------------------------


While the rich and the affluent still face many
of the problems that come with the "king's
lifestyle", a new pattern is emerging in the
United States and, predictions state, Europe.

A new study shows that the trend of ill-health
and obesity is shifting rapidly to the poor and
less educated portions of the country.

The reason this is important to us all, other
than a concern for our nation's health as a
whole, is the economic strain this will place
on our already burdened health care system.

By the year 2012, if this trend increases, the
middle and upper classes will be looking at
massive increases in taxes to fund proposed
government plans to address the problem.

This is a problem that flat-out does NOT need
to exist. Everyone who can afford food at 'all'
can easily eat healthy and exercise.

Part of the confusion is due to the fact that the
billion dollar fitness industry has created a
myth -- that expensive food supplements and
organic foods are mandatory for good health.

While I believe in both, neither are mandatory.

It's the TYPE of food, and the COMBINATION
of the foods that make all the difference -- that,
and moderate calories, exercise, and proper
mental disposition.

This is covered in detail in the best-selling
e-book, "Fit Over 40", by Jon Benson and
Tom Venuto, CSCS.

Get it here --

http://www.fitover40.com/

In regards to the study, Dr. Janet Collins of the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
had this to say --

"Populations are no longer equal in terms of
experiencing health problems. Low-income
populations tend to experience all the health
problems we worry about at greater rates."

The five states with the highest obesity rates
in the 2005 consensus include Mississippi,
Alabama, West Virginia, Louisiana and
Kentucky.

These same five states have higher rates
of poverty than the national norm.

Meanwhile, the five states with the lowest
obesity have less poverty. They are Colorado,
Hawaii, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and
Vermont.

Each of these states also have more college
graduates and stronger education programs.

Education in health and fitness does not
need to be expensive, and it certainly does
not take a rocket scientist to figure it out.

However, many fitness professionals and
nutrition 'gurus' lend that impression.

If you visit a gym today, especially in a
larger city, you'll see a myriad of devices
that, frankly, would give you a better workout
if you tried to pick them up and move them
out to the garbage dump.

It can be daunting and confusing for anyone!
But, this doesn't have to be the case. In fact,
as so many people report in "Fit Over 40",
workouts can be done in your own home
that will more than satisfy the needs of
most people.

The same goes for nutrition. While a few
people require "high-tech", expensive foods
(for medical reasons usually), the vast
majority of us can easily get the job done
at the local grocery store.

The best way to inspire change is to create
change in yourself. Start there, set the
example, and the word will spread.

Anyone can be fit and healthy, and they
can do it at ANY age, and at ANY income
level above absolute poverty.

Yours in health ladies, and guys. I do hope I get to
hear about how you lost your extra weight, and I show you my lost if you
show me yours. :)

Secrets for Caring for Your Oily Skin

Secrets for Caring for your Oily Skin

Understanding how to take care of your oily skin is something you need to learn early in your life so as not to start off treating your oily skin incorrectly. In some ways you are lucky to have oily skin because it tends to age at a slower rate than other skin types do. Meaning yours will not show those fine lines and wrinkles that tend to bother other skin types sooner.
On the downside to having oily skin, is that it tends to have more breakouts, problems with larger pores and blackheads.
How does one take care of their oily skin then?
Once one understands their oily skin, it becomes easier to find the right products to help to take of it in the right way.
Ever heard of using just soap and water? Well in the case of oily skin that’s not that bad of an idea to do so. By using hot water and soap you prevent your pores from getting clogged and causing breakouts. Did you know that by using hot water not lukewarm water it will help dissolve the skin oil better?
One thing you need to do for sure is to avoid using any skincare products that will cause your skin to feel taut and dehydrated. This will restrict the oil from flowing through the pores will can lead to blockages and breakouts.
What one must do for starters is to keep your skin very clean by washing it no more than two to three times a day. You may not know that if you wash your oily skin too much that it will actually stimulate your skin to create more oil.
When choosing your cleanser you need to do so with care. Avoid heavy cleansing creams as well as avoid the use of harsh soaps or cleansers. One would be better to use an all natural soap that has no artificial additives or scent.
You might want even want to try an antibacterial cleansing lotion or maybe even a lightly medicated soap depending on just how oily your skin gets.
If your skin is one of the types that is extremely oily, instead of two to three washings a day up it to three or four daily cleansing may be what you need to do. No one likes a greasy appearance at any age.
As you can tell taking care of your oily skin is something you need to start early and take care of everyday if you wish for it not to breakout. Your skin can be more acne prone than other skin types to. Take care of your skin and try using a natural oil-free moisturizer to help keep your skin supple.
If you are before the age of thirty you may be lucky enough not to even have to use a moisturizer but do start over the age of thirty at least just around your eyes and mouth.
Take good care of your oily skin and it will take care of you.

How do you know you have Quality Nail Polish?



When was the last time you looked at a bottle of polish and thought to your self just what is a quality nail polish? We all know that some nail polishes are better than others by either the brand or maybe just the color. Its a shame that you can not open a bottle of polish to try it first before you buy it. The reason why I say that is if your bottle is thick and gooey you have a bottle thats really really old and not very good at all. I have found that some colors are the problem because they are too thick to able to put on your nails that doesn't take forever to dry and when it does dry you wear it for less than a day and it chips off. That is a sign of a nail polish thats not worth the money.
What you can do to make sure you have a quality bottle of nail polish to look at it really closely and if its looks thick it might be a problem. Shake it up and it doesn't move very well than put that bottle of polish back and pick up another one.
Light colors of nail polish seem to be better to wear and buy all the way around. The reason is when you put them on I am yet to find a light color polish to be thick and gooey. Personally my favorite light colors are Tink Pink

and Prom Night Pink both by BB Couture. I can look at all of her polishes and see it really move when I shake it and when I put any of her colors I don't find them to be too thick.
I have one color of hers that might be part of a contest when I call her on Monday.
Just so you know the polish price on my website is less.. You only have to pay 7.00!!
Just thought you might like to know that. Next time you pick up a bottle of nail polish think.. Just how old are you? Shake it and if it moves more like mud you don't want it.. look at another color. If you like light colors check out BB Couture Nail Polishes on my website today...
