Cover Girl has done an excellent job of letting their customers know exactly how to use their products via video clips by professional makeup artists on their website.  There are plenty of makeup tutorials for looks from casual to smokey eyes that are easy to understand and apply. 

They also provide informative general information, like these simple five rules about mascara.  Check out Cover Girl for practical applications on how to look sensational!

Mascara 101

• Never, ever pump the wand – this adds air to the mascara container, which will only make your mascara dry out faster.
• As a general rule, brown or soft black are best for daytime; black works best for night.
• Use less mascara on lower lashes than on top lashes. Or forego mascara on lower lashes for a more casual look.
• If your mascara smells funny or is more than six months old, chuck it. The eyes are very sensitive to bacteria.
• After you’ve coated lashes with mascara, add just one more layer to the outer corners. The extra coat will make your lashes look especially long.

Go ahead and prepare yourself to be envious and/or inspired.  Want to see what it takes to have a rockin’ body?  Check out my girl, Zuzana, and her grueling workout.  That’s what it takes.  Arms and abs like Zuzana’s doesn’t come for free.  But, if you look at it in a different perspective, it’s a relatively small price to pay to feel and look so amazing.  I love Zuzana’s workouts!   Check out her site at www.BodyRock.tv

Watching incredible mind/body/spirit transformations are an excellent motivation to invisioning your own mind/body/spirit transformation.  It’s a practice one should seek regularly.

Fat burning Pilates is my secret weapon in the morning.  Pilates makes your body feel so good when you wake up…it’s the ultimate good morning stretch.  It also feels great to break a sweat by 6 a.m.!  I love the Crunch series workout videos.  I’ve also seen them at the library (an excellent source to try before you buy.)

The secret to Madonna’s arms and Gwyneth Paltrow’s slender legs…it’s Tracy Anderson.  Take a look at Gwyneth and Tracy in the gym.  The resistance band device is pure genius.  If you’ve ever worked with resistance bands, you’ll know how beneficial they are to looking long and lean.  They are great when you travel, too.  (Note to the Irishman:  I know you could build this…which would score you serious brownie points.  just sayin’.)
