Beauty Rant: Perfume Overload 09/29/2009

PerfumeOverload

Last night, I went to a bar to catch the Cowboys/Panthers game with the LB boyfriend (he’s a major sports junkie and loves the Cowboys as much as I love beauty products). While gorging myself with unnecessary amounts of pseudo-Mexican appetizers and mango margaritas, my enjoyment was constantly interrupted by onslaughts of perfume. Every time a woman walked by, I was practically slapped in the face with the huge amount of fragrance they were wearing. I could have smelled these people from across the room! The onslaught of scents was so strong that I had a headache by the end of the game (Cowboys won!).

Did these people skip showering for days on end? Is their body odor that strong? What is it that makes people feel that they need to douse themselves with so much fragrance? Perfume is made to smelled by people who are close to you, not miles away. Do us all a favor and tone it down to two or three spritzes. Got it? Kthanksbye.

Beauty Dos 09/28/2009

I was originally going to call these “rules”, but I’m not a believer in those when it comes to beauty. If you wanna rock a dramatic smokey eye with a deep red lip to your conservative work environment, then work it. I’d admire your cojones. Here are 5 of my beauty dos (as in do, not Spanish for “two”, haha!) that I practice everyday.

H2OEcoBottle

Tip #2: Drink plenty of H2O

1. Wear sunscreen. By sunscreen, I don’t mean the dinky SPF 8 that’s in your foundation. SPF 15 is the minimum you should wear, according to the American Cancer Society. It always cracks me up when companies think that any SPF lower than 15 is a selling point. Be sure it has stable UV blocking ingredients like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. Check out this article to learn which ingredients work best as sunscreens. Apply at least 30 minutes before going outside and reapply every two hours if you can.

2. Drink at least 4-5 liters of water per day. Staying hydrated is key to feeling and looking great, both inside and out. Save some money and eliminate plastic by using a stainless steel bottle, like the one shown from Target.

3. Stretch. It doesn’t have to be elaborate or time consuming. I like doing a simple yoga sequence before getting out of bed. First, I start with the cat cow pose, do this for five breaths. Second, I move into a cobra pose, hold this for five breaths. Third and last, I go into child pose for another five breaths. Simple, but surprisingly energizing.

Tom'sofMaineFloss

Tip #4: Floss

4. Floss at least once a day. Brushing doesn’t get in between teeth where bits of old food can hide. Old food rots, rotting causes bacteria to grow, bacteria produces acids, acids eat away at the enamel on your teeth. Save yourself the root canals and break open that box of floss that’s been dormant in your medicine cabinet. Plus, studies show that people who floss tend to live longer.

5. Set aside time to relax by yourself. We’re constantly on to go with places to be and people to meet. Sometimes we forget about the most important person, ourselves. Take a few minutes a day to escape the madness and relax in whatever way you wanna do it. Try lying on the floor in savasana (corpse) pose or playing with your pets. I love doing both of these to relax myself.

Notice that none of these had anything do with makeup.
