How to Get and Maintain the Perfect Eyebrow

Eyebrows create symmetry on the face. That's why women with perfect eyebrows look more beautiful. The sad truth is that most women often neglect to groom or shape their eyebrows, which can lead to a less beautiful overall image. So here, we will describe some beauty tips for the best way to achieve and maintain that perfect eyebrow to enhance your overall beauty.

Using clear mascara, brush your eyebrows straight up. You will then need to use some small scissors to carefully trim all the hairs that extend past the natural shape you want the top of your eyebrows to be. Brush each brow back into it's natural shape after you have finished trimming.Using an eyebrow or eyeliner pencil, draw along the side of your nose and up towards your inner eye to make sure that the inner edge of your eyebrow is lined up with the very inner corner of your eye.Do the same thing with the eyeliner pencil, drawing a line that intersects from the side of your nose up to your iris. This will be where you make your arch.Once again, to determine where your eyebrow should end, draw a line from the side of your nose up past the outer corner of your eye. Wax or Tweeze away any hairs that are out side of where you marked. You are actually shaping the eyebrow now to make it beautiful.Brush eyebrows with the clear mascara once again to keep in place and use an eyebrow pencil or liner to fill in any sparse areas.

That's it! Maintain your brows by repeating these steps once every 2-6 weeks, depending on how fast your eyebrow hairs grow. Please enjoy more articles and beauty tips.

Can't Get to the Gym? Drink This!

Wine lovers, rejoice! On those days when you're pressed for time and just can't squeeze in your 30-minute walk (you do take one, yes?), pop open a bottle of vino.

A surprising new study has found that resveratrol -- the heart-protecting ingredient found in red wine -- may also help fight the muscle loss associated with too much sitting around.

Use It or Lose It? Maybe Not
Looking for ways to prevent some of the toll spaceflight takes on astronauts -- muscle wasting, bone thinning, insulin resistance -- scientists subjected two groups to weightless conditions for 15 days, and gave one group resveratrol supplements. The supplements group emerged with their muscles, bones, and insulin systems humming along. The group that did without resveratrol wasn't so lucky.

The effects of space flight and a sedentary lifestyle are similar, say scientists, and while resveratrol is no substitute for skipping exercise altogether, it could be a way to slow muscle deterioration if you're sidelined by an injury or chained to your desk during a nonstop work week.

Wine: It Does a Body Good
Resveratrol is an antioxidant that's abundant in the skin of red grapes, which is why red wine has such a stash. While its ability to maintain muscle mass needs to be confirmed, resveratrol is one of those plant nutrients that's been piling up health benefits left and right. Among the latest: Recent research has found that resveratrol helps reduce body fat, contains powerful anti-cancer agents, and might help you live longer. We'll drink to that!

If red wine isn't your thing, you can still reap the rewards by munching on peanuts or a handful of blueberries -- both contain the natural chemical -- or red grapes, of course! Or those supplements.

30 Minutes to a Bigger, Better Brain

Here's a relaxing, 30-minute practice that may boost brain power while lifting your mood and your memory. We're talking about mindfulness meditation.

The stress-reducing benefits of meditation are well documented, but how this ancient Zen practice works to improve well-being is little known. That said, a new study has revealed that meditation may enhance key structures in the brain responsible for learning, memory, and emotion control.

Mind Your Gray Matter
In the small study, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans were taken before and after an 8-week program that combined about 30 minutes a day of full-body progressive relaxation, yoga, and seated meditation. Compared to a control group, the mindfulness meditation participants experienced an increase in gray matter concentration in the hippocampus, the cerebellum, and other key brain regions responsible for cognitive function and emotion control. The researchers suggest meditation may be an effective tool to reverse certain downsized brain regions commonly seen in people suffering from depression and anxiety.

Do Your Homework
Mindfulness meditation is a practice rooted in the ancient Buddhist tradition of quieting the mind and body in order to focus awareness on the present moment rather than dwelling on negative past experiences, today's problems, or worries about the future. The meditators were also asked to integrate mindfulness techniques into everyday tasks, such as shopping, exercising, cleaning house, and eating. Talk about a convenient, do-it-yourself way to boost brain power and buoy your mood. (Related: Practice mindful eating to eat less and lose weight.)
