Baby Wipes for your Hair
Next time you zip through the store look for baby wipes with SPF in them.
Use these hand-dandy little suckers to tame those fly-away hairs on your head and the extra plus is…the SPF in the towelette can actually keep your hair color from fading from the sun.
Spring is here and these are things are a ‘need to know’.

Dandruff Shampoo Not Working?
If your dandruff shampoo is not working…it may be operator error.
Yes, I’m talking about you!
When pairing a hair conditioner with a shampoo that fights itchy scalp and embarrassing flakes, always use the same brand conditioner as shampoo.
Otherwise using a different brand of conditioner can compromise the ‘working ingredients’ in the expensive dandruff shampoo.

Do You Spoon?
Toss a couple spoons into the freezer….
Now, the next time you get swollen itchy eyes,
pull those spoons out-a-da freezer.
Lay down, prop your feet up, and place those cold perfectly
shaped spoons over your eyes.
Ahhhh…. that’s what I’m talking about.

No Shine!
The last thing you want during a photo is shiny skin that flashes back at the photographer.
So instead of your using a daily moisturizer use a serum on your face and a matte foundation for your photo shoot.
Now you’ll be picture perfect!

Simply the BEST!
I put on lipstick last night.
I ate, drank, talked…then washed my face and went to bed.
Got up this morning washed my face, looked in the mirror and was SHOCKED
My new 24 hour lipstick was STILL fresh on my mouth!
It’s NEW…It’s Fabulous…It’s simply the BEST!
Super Stay 24 2-Step Color, by Maybelline!

Felt Tip
Want an eyeliner that goes on smooth and does not melt into your skin?
Try Revlon’s Color-Stay eye pen!
The tip is like a felt tip pen, it goes on thin, smooth, and
stays on and on and on!
L-O-V-E IT! I give it two thumbs up.

Thin is NOT always Good
Thin is NOT always a good thing when it comes to your eyebrows…..
Over-plucked eyebrows will make you look older than you are.
Please…keep your brows shaped but don’t go crazy with those tweezers …. oh, unless you WANT to look older.

Beer Ruduces Puffy Eyes
Do you think that slapping a couple hunks of cucumbers on your eyes is the only way to reduce puffy-ness?
Well….you’re wrong! Any cold item can do it. Look around.
You can keep a damp wash rag in the freezer, hold a cold apple over each eye, or better yet, grab a couple beers out of the frig.
No…not to drink! Sheesh!
Place the cold cans over your eyes for five minutes to...
Scrub Your Face Naturally
Papaya fruit can be used as a facial scrub for sensitive skin.
Every other day, pull off a strip of papaya peeling and rub the
‘fruit side’ over your face and neck.
Rinse & pat dry.
WOW! Smooth as a baby’s bottom.

GET HOT WITH IT!
When you wake up in the morning and look in the mirror is your hair flat on one side, sticking up on the other, and the back looks as if you parted it for pig-tails?
Did you know you don’t have to wash and dry your tresses just to get it looking halfway decent for your day.
Just pull out a round hair brush and your hairdryer.
Now brush your dry hair real good and then start drying...
DITCH THAT DEAD SKIN!
Ladies, have you noticed ….
as we age that our face and neck seem to age much faster than men?
Why is that, you ask?
Well it’s because when men shave.. the side effect is…exfoliation!
Don’t let them win by default…Fight Back!
Starting in 2011 get a good facial scrub and use it DAILY!

How to TAME your Hair
Electricity is the culprit when your hair
fuzzes out in the cold winter months.
YIKES! Get that scary-wild-look out of your hair….
Take a dab of leave-in conditioner in your palm,
rub your hands together and smooth them over your
hair to de-electrify your tresses.
(My job is done…now you look totally fab again…your welcome!)
Pamela Vanden Bos ...
Do You ITCH?
Baby it’s cold outside and nothing feels better than standing under a hot steamy shower. FOR HOURS!
However, in the winter months hot baths and showers will dry your skin out making you itch and your skin flaky.
Frankly, continually scratching your arms, back, and legs in public makes people think you have ‘kooties’.
Bottom line, dial back the hot factor, shorten your soaking...
Vitamin Sunshine!
It’s Winter…before you slather that moisturizer with built-in sunscreen all over your face and neck…think about this!
According to U.S.News HEALTH: The sunshine vitamin D may protect against a a host of diseases, including osteoporosis, heart disease, and cancers of the breast, prostate, and colon. What’s more, sunlight has other hidden benefits—like protecting against...

NO FLASHING!
Did you know that a photo taken with a flash camera can actually age you 5-7 years?
Unless you’re having the photo taken by a professional,
Only take head-shots in natural light….like outside.
After you upload your new profile picture on Face Book,
WATCH-OUT
The complements will be flooding in!

New Lip Color Product
I just picked up a new product called Just Bitten by Revlon.
It’s like a colored felt pen …for your lips.
This color stains your lips…and has fantastic staying power.
Be careful…. the tip tickles when you draw your lips on.
No peeling, no problems!
I 100% Love Love Love it!

WINTER LIPS
Do you know what Winter Lips are?
Well it’s that flaky skin that hangs off your lips during the cold months.
TIP: Keep a spare soft toothbrush in your shower and use it to quickly and gently remove that nasty dead skin from your mouth each morning.
There ya go…nice kissable lips again!
Pucker UP!
Pamela Vanden Bos http://avenue22photography.com
ARE YOU DULL?
I’m talking about your skin…not your personality!
If your skin is dull and feeling flaky
buff it with one of those new skin scrubbing gadgets or
simply scrub with a clean wash-rag.
Now slather on the cream and off you go…
looking all fresh and dewy!

Chin Forward
When having you photo taken
you may lift your chin for a better face/neck slimming shot.
However, the professionals say…
instead, slightly move your chin forward to improve
the look of your neck.
Practice in the mirror…. use your neck to move your chin slightly forward not your jaw.

BRIGHT EYES
If you’re getting enough rest…why are your eyes still red?
Well…it may be your computer.
Staring at a computer screen can make your eyes dry, itchy, and blood shot because you do not blink as often.
Follow the 20-20 rule.
Every twenty minutes look up and focus on something in the distance for 20 seconds.
Pamela Vanden Bos http://avenue22photography.com
Turn it OFF!
Getting quality sleep is the number one way….to keep looking good.
That’s why they call it, “getting your beauty sleep”.
However, if you sleep in the same room as your computer or other gadgets you may be exposing yourself to ‘blue light’ which may interrupt your sleep.
If you doubt me, try turning your electronic devices off or move them into another room...
Come-on you know better
You know how bad it is for your skin, when you go to bed with a dirty face………
Well the same holds true to working out!
What I’m tryin’ to say is…
Before you work up a sweat, get all the make up and dirt off your face otherwise all that gunk will just clog up your pores!
When you look at your perfect skin, you’ll be thanking me!

How Big are YOUR Pores?
No, you can’t shrink your pores.
But you can minimize the look of your pores by keeping them clean.
Never-ever go to bed with a dirty face.
Because those little hair follicle openings will gather dirt and scream ‘look at me’ …and not in a good way!

DOMINATRIX
Although dressing from head-to-toe in leather is “IN” this year….
Unless you plan to carry a whip as an accessory, tone-down “that look” by simply wearing a leather skirt or jacket!

TURTLENECK RULES
You should only wear a turtleneck if….
You have a long neck, smaller bust or….
If you’re trying to cover-up wrinkles.

on your heals, with your nail file.
It works!

Up Up Up & Tap Tap Tap
Don’t encourage your skin to sag.
Always go up when applying makeup.
Don’t stretch the skin under your eyes.
Always tap your eye cover-up on.

Feeling Run Down?
Do you crash and burn around mid-day?
Carry mini To-Go peanut-butter in disposable cups.
Just 2 Tablespoons of peanut-butter will level out your blood sugar.
No, I did not say eat Reese’s Peanut Butter candy bar!
That would be a sugar a…R-U-S-H.

Fresh vs Frozen
According to Dr. Tom Gilliam….
Fruits and veggies from the freezer section of the grocery store actually have vitamins and minerals locked into them.Therefore they are better for you.
Because the produce aisle options have been sitting around losing nutrients before you even get them home.
The problem is….the freezer section also houses the ice-cream!

FREE PEDICURE
Would you like to have a free mini-pedicure?
Take your shoes off and walk barefoot for a mile along the beach in the sand.
Shoot…not only will the scrubbing sands make your soles smoother,
the calming waters will rid your mind of any callous thoughts.
It’s a win win situation!

DID YOU KNOW.....
Actually …
Do you know how do keep your manicure looking fresh
twice as long? I do!
All you have to do….when you polish your finger/toe nails is…
Swipe that polish across the tips of your nail (horizontally)to seal the deal.

Wipe-Out!
Don’t pay big bucks for those designer baby wipes.
For just under two dollars you can pick up a container of generic baby wipes. (72 in a box)
Keep them in your car, in your bag, on your bedroom dresser, or on the shelf in your bathroom.
They’re prefect for removing make-up, spot cleaning your clothes, or wiping down a nasty toilet seat!

I SAID....RELAX
Ever wonder why a photographer takes hunderes of photo’s during a shoot?
Well…in the beginning the photographer works on getting the lighting & angle right..
but some models need to get comfortable, chill out, relax, stop thinking and just pose before the photographer can capture that awesome ‘quality’ picture.
I mean, totally 100 percent give it...
STIMULATION
To energize your brain use a hairbrush.
Honestly…massage your head with the bristles.

CUT IT OUT!
It’s a proven fact, dairy can cause zits.
Although I’m not a doctor, I do know a few things about skin.
So… if you’re having rashes, blemishes, or outrageous outbreaks,
Simply cut dairy products from your diet for two weeks.
What do you have to lose…bad skin?

BRUSH OUT-BRUSH ON
Who knew that those strange looking mascara brushes really have a purpose?
If the wand is….
Sphere shaped, it coats every tiny eyelash
Hour glass shaped, it curls and gets out clumps
Battery operated, it covers each lash completely
Tiny lined, it helps elongate each lash as it deposits color
Now you know!

I Disagree!
I read in a magazine that we no longer need to use facial toner because the new facial cleaners…rinse off completely.
Frankly, I Disagree!
I admit I am not perfect, I tend to rush through things, and I can miss spots.
I put toner on a cotton pad and swipe my face after washing and without a doubt, I see a dirty cotton pad. Be it makeup, soap scum, or fresh hair dye.
I put toner on a...
