"Cheerfulness and contentment are great beautifiers and are famous preservers of youthful looks." -- Charles Dickens
Here are a few beauty tricks that will make you look younger with just a sweep of a blush brush or mascara wand.
1. Keep your hair between your chin and your shoulders. Side-swept bangs and hair no longer than your shoulders will take off years.
2. Wrong lipstick shades can age you Another trick to looking younger is to steer clear of brown lipstick shades. Avoid matte lipstick as they tend to settle into your lip lines. Instead, try creamier lipsticks or glosses. (Glosses are especially youthful and make your lips appear bee-stung).
3. Stick to creamy blushes and shadows Older skin usually means dry skin, so creamy blushes and shadows are your best bet. Also, powder blushes and shadows tend to settle into your fine lines and wrinkles, while creamier products "plump" up your skin.
4. Define those eyes Curled lashes immediately make eyes "pop." One tip I love I learned from the editors of Allure: You can curl your lashes AFTER mascara application, just make sure the mascara has dried. I find lining my eyes helps make my somewhat tiny eyes look 10 times larger. I rarely leave the house now without mascara.
5. Don't over pluck Once you hit your 30s, you'll want to be careful not to over pluck your eyebrows since brows are less apt to grow back if you excessively pluck.
6. Try teeth whitening Over time, teeth may yellow from coffee, tea or red wine stains.
7. Stand up straight. Think about all the sexy women you know. They stand up straight and confidently. Not only will this make you look ten pounds thinner in seconds, it will make you look five years younger as well
8. Get a good night's sleep Few things age you overnight more than a poor night's sleep. Your eyes are puffy, your skin sallow and dull and your face sags.

I Believe
On December 3,2010 my husband and I will celebrate our 8th wedding anniversary. We love each other so much and we're happy together even though sometimes there are misunderstandings, trials and difficulties. I think the biggest trial that we encountered is when I miscarried twice. It happened last January 2006 and October 2009. It gave me so much pain emotionally and I cried a lot.Despite all of these I still keep on praying to God to bless us a child. Because I believe God will grant my prayer on the right time.

7 Things Not to do After a Meal
1- Don’t smoke- Experts have proven that smoking a cigarette after meal is comparable to smoking 10 cigarettes. ( The possibility of cancer is greater.)
2- Don’t eat fruits immediately – Immediately eating fruits after meals will cause stomach to be bloated with air. Therefore eat fruit 1-2 hours after a meal or 1hour before a meal.
3- Don’t drink tea – Tea leaf’s contain a high content of acid. This substance will cause the protein content in the food we consume to be hardened thus difficult to digest.
4- Don’t loosen your belt – Loosening your belt after a meal will easily cause the intestine to be twisted & blocked.
5- Don’t bath – Bathing will cause the increase of blood flow to the hands, legs & body thus the amount of blood around the stomach will therefore decrease. This will weaken the digestive system in our stomach.
6- Don’t walk about – People always say that after a meal walk a hundred steps and you will live till 99. In actual fact this is not true. Walking will cause the digestive system to be unable to absorb the nutrition from the food we intake.
7- Don’t sleep immediately – The food we intake will not be able to digest properly. Thus will lead to gastric & infection in our intestine.
