+ "For a shining, wide open gaze, curl your lashes. This lets extra light in, and gives more sparkle." - GH, march 1955If you do not curl your lashes currently, try this: before bed curl one set of lashes and apply mascara. Just apply mascara to the other side. You will notice a big difference! (Now wash it off before you go to sleep!) For even more curl, that lasts longer, heat your eye lash curler with your hair dryer for approximately 5 seconds first.
+ "Keep cuticles pushed back. If they become hard, soak them in warm oil for a few minutes." - GH, March 1948
They sell cuticle oils of course, but you can warm any cooking oil and use it just as well. Your hands should receive attention at least weekly. Along with caring for your cuticles why not spend the extra 15 minutes to exfoliate, moisturize and shape your nails? Soft, well manicured hands are so much more feminine and a fairly quick and easy at home project.
+ "Prescription for nail biters: Wear bright polish; it will remind you not to chew." - GH, May 1958
What is more 1940-50's than fire engine red nails? It is also a fun way to brighten up these dreary winter months and add a pop of color to our usually darker winter wardrobes. If you have the same shade of polish at home (assuming you had your nails done professionally) touch ups are quite easy!
+ "It is much easier to prevent a wrinkle than to remove one later." - GH, July 1919
Some fabulous tips that I have heard over the years for wrinkle prevention include: always wear sunscreen on your face and hands, always wear sunglasses when out of doors, choose a large sun hat and wear a cover up when at the beach (and out of the water), always reapply sunscreen after coming out of the water, moisturize!, a pleasant expression creates far fewer lines than a frown.
