Many women seem to have a difficult time choosing the right make up for themselves. I often see women that have foundations on that are too light or dark for their skin tone. Another mistake women make is with their lips. Many women are uncomfortable with lipstick so they either wear nothing or they put on lip gloss. For many women both options are a mistake.

Lip gloss is something that looks awful when not worn properly. Many women will purchase lip gloss that has a slight tint to it. When they apply it they often smear past the lip area due to the consistency of the gloss. This makes the lips look big and greasy. For the women that wear nothing on their lips the mouth seems to disappear off the face. Women will claim that they choose not to wear lipstick because it runs. This problem can be solved by the use of a liner pencil. The liner pencil should be as close to the shade of lipstick a possible. Simply outline the lips with the pencil and give it a short time to set, and then apply the lipstick. The liner will keep the lipstick color from bleeding off your lip area. It is important to reapply the lipstick color after eating or drinking because the lipstick will wear off faster than the liner.

If the liner and lipstick are not an option that you want to try use a lip gloss that is not tinted. A clear lip gloss will not appear as smeared as the tinted variety. The lips are very sensitive to the sun. This is another reason to wear some type of lip covering. Today most products have a built in sun screen, but it is important to check the label to insure that there is at least a fifteen level sun screen in the product you are using. For the times that you will be spending prolonged periods in the sun it is best to use a lip balm. Balms tend to stay on longer and penetrate deeper into the tissues of the skin. I will often wear a high sunscreen level lip balm under my lipstick if we are going to be boating or doing some other activity for a long period in the sun. By doing this I am assured that my lips will be protected even if my lip stick wears off. As with all sunscreen products it is important to reapply often for the best protection. Most lip gloss products do not include a sun screen. If you insist on having the shiny effect of lip gloss place it on over the balm.

Young teenage girls are the only ones that should wear lip gloss in my opinion. It is a nice option for them because it is lighter in color and it enhances their natural lip color.

It’s a pretty safe bet that men started giving women flowers ever since we managed to figure out how to pick them with our opposable thumbs. Flowers are beautiful, plentiful, and come in all of the colors of the rainbow.

Although flowers may sometimes be considered to be a bit cliché, sending flowers has been a standby in romantic relationships since the dawn of time. Granted, some of this predisposition toward flower-giving is probably cultural - in every old movie and television show I can remember the husband or boyfriend always shows up with a bouquet of flowers when he knows he’s done something wrong. Nevertheless, flowers make up an aspect of adornment and decoration in almost every culture worldwide, so there must be something universally attractive about them.

If you’ve ever tried to purchase flowers from a florist, especially near Mother’s Day or Valentine’s Day, you’ve realized something else: they’re expensive. Then again, perhaps the high price for some flowers is justified; have you ever tried growing an orchid or a calla lily? It’s not easy. There’s always the option of swinging by the park or your neighbor’s garden and helping yourself to whatever flowers are in season, but this does risk getting arrested or, at the very least, yelled at.

Though obtaining flowers may be a bit tricky, it’s never been easier to send flowers. Telflora caught on to the idea early, allowing you to send flowers from anywhere in the U.S. with a phone number, and address, and a credit card. FTD followed quickly on their heels, and now most florists will send flowers for you if you can give them an address and usually payment for both the flowers and sometimes a delivery fee, which can run from nothing to ten dollars or more depending on the florist.

With the popularity of e-commerce it’s not surprising to know that most florists, especially larger chains, allow you to send flowers by ordering them online. This is particularly helpful if you’re not quite sure what you want or you want a particular arrangement; you can see what you’re ordering before you buy it instead of having your order explained to you over the phone. Complex, pre-made arrangements are also a lot easier to visualize and decide upon when you can see a photo of them on your computer screen. If the florist you want to order from doesn’t have a website, then the sites from other florists can also give you an idea of what you want to order, even if in the end you make your order over the phone.

So send a bouquet today. Why? "Just Because."
