Happenings

Beauty Tip:
When using an eyelash curler, preheat it slightly using your blow dryer. Be very careful, you’d be surprised how quickly the blow dryer can heat that thing. The heat will set the curl just like a curling iron and your lashes will look great all day! I read this in a magazine and it really works. Also though if you use too much heat and pressure, you will get ‘fro lashes, and that is not a good look.

Product Review:

Have you seen those disposable toothbrushes, which come complete with one dose of toothpaste? I realized on my way to work today that because I didn’t do my morning junk in the usual order, I somehow skipped the whole tooth-brushing exercise. I decided to stop at a BP station on my way to work and see if I could get something to use. Well I could’ve spent $4.09 on a Reach brush and then laid out a few bucks for toothpaste, or I could try this ingenious disposable jobbie. Lesson learned, spend the $6.00 or so. That thing was brutal!!! The bristles are way too hard and should never be used in the mouth. I spat blood into the sink and assumed that my gums couldn’t take the hard, plastic, cone-like bristles. Then I found that it was my tongue that was punctured and bleeding. Also the toothpaste was a very icky green gel. I do not recommend this product.
