HOT PINK PUMPS - HEELS for SPRING

Daylight savings time is ending and we need the latest hot pink pumps to compete with the blazing abundance of blooming azaleas. You can just bet that even my favorite Pride of Mobile is not going to outshine the hot pink heels that I have in mind.


The first day of spring is a teaser that sends me out to try on strappy sandals even though I know there are several months yet to come with temperatures that require my toes to be covered or at the most peep out from under the glove soft leather of my shoes. Not to mention that we still have April showers to consider when peep toe shoes with even the tiniest sliver of pretty pedicure showing could mean suffering through a meal with soaking wet feet. I'm willing to sacrifice my personal comfort for sexy feet, but not when it could bring on a nasty case of pneumonia.

My idea of the perfect hot pink pumps for early spring do their magic for my legs and feet with sparkling rhinestones, ribbons and heels. Save the hot pink heels with straps and peep toes for later in the year. My favorite shoes for braving late spring chill and dampness completely enclose my pretty toes and showcase my legs to full potential as only spike heel pumps can do.

Fuchsia is without a doubt a favorite of the woman who is not afraid of being noticed. My full hips keep me from filling my closet with hot pink dresses and pants. I restrict the use of bright pink to the smaller parts of my body; my fingernails, my toes and my Kate Spade pink leather shoes, totes and purse.

DIY EYEBROW SHAPING

After a professional eyebrow shaping (whether they are waxed threaded or plucked) in about four weeks the hair will have grown back and you will need to repeat the process. And in that four weeks there may be a few stragglers that threaten to compromise the perfectly shaped eyebrows that frame your face in such an attractive fashion.

To keep your eyebrows looking neat in between visits to the salon, here are a few tips to maintain your brows until the next eyebrow shaping session. I do not recommend changing the shape of your eyebrows yourself. These tips are simply to preserve for the shape of your eyebrows that your cosmetician considered to be perfect for the shape of your face.

To maintain the arch of your brows, you need only a pair of tweezers and the bathroom mirror. You can use your magnifying makeup mirror, but resist the urge to pluck inside the main shape. Identify the strays that are springing up under the arch and outside the boundaries set by your professional and remove them by plucking them out in the direction they are growing. This DIY eyebrow shaping session should be done well in advance of public appearances as some redness may occur.

After you have removed stray hairs, fill the main shape of the eyebrow in using a matching pencil and set with eyebrow gel. Many eyebrow pencils now come with a kit that includes a small brow brush and gel.

Following this procedure on a weekly basis will keep the professional wax and tweeze looking great. In fact they may look so much like they’ve been professionally done in the salon that you may want to do your own eyebrow shaping from now on!
