To make your eyelash application quick and easy, be sure you have everything to hand. You will need a small table top mirror, preferably a magnifying one; a pair of tweezers, the pot of glue and the eyelashes.

2. Be patient
When applying your false lashes you don’t want to get in a flutter before you’re even wearing them! The main error that is made when girls apply their own false lashes at home, is rushing to get the lashes on or panicking when the application doesn’t look right. Especially if you’ve been dating at eHarmony and are about to meet your date for the first time! It’s really important to leave the glue to set on the lashes for at least 30 seconds before applying the lashes; this will ensure the glue has enough hold on the lashes first.

3. Step by step
i) Before applying a strip of false lashes, firstly make sure that you will be applying each strip to the correct eye, as the lashes come in sets of left and right
ii) If the lash strip is too wide, you can cut an amount off the end with the longer lashes (the outside) with a pair of nail scissors. You should never try to cut the lashes once you have applied them to your eyes so always measure before.
iii) Starting with your first lash strip, apply a thin layer of glue to the seam of the lashes with a fine brush or application tool. Try not to get glue on the lashes themselves. Leave the glue for at least 30 seconds.
iv) Looking down in to the mirror, use the tweezers to pick up the glued lashes and place them at the root of your natural lashes, not directly on to the skin. Gently apply pressure to each end of the lash strip and hold it in place for 30 seconds, and then gently tap along the middle to secure the strip. Repeat with the next set of lashes on the other eye.

4. Wearing your lashes with pride.
Once you have successfully secured you luscious lashes, you can add a little eye makeup to finish the look. Make sure that any glue around your eye has dried before applying any cosmetics. Remember if you are going to be in photographs your new eyelashes will already make your eyes look bigger and darker, so if you are taking a profile photo to find Asian singles at eHarmony or a special portrait for work or family, don’t go too dark with the rest of your make up if you want to achieve a natural look with your longer lashes.

Take time over the application and you won’t have the terrible “there’s a spider on your face” comments when one set of lashes slips off! When the time comes for your big date or photo shoot, if you have applied your lashes correctly they will last you all night.

Before I started blogging, I am the type of person who loves writing. I love sharing my thoughts, opinions, my feelings and I even wrote a story in a mini-notebook way back in high school, too! Until now, I do feel that writing is a big part of my life and I believe in one way or another – it’s important for everyone else too.

Remember when I blogged about “Everyone is a brand of their own?”

My current favorite is the Parker Ingenuity collection. This pen covers innovative and new experience for writers overall. It features 5th Technology refills the latest innovation in luxury accessories which combines the best of all current writing modes – the beauty of a fountain pen, the smooth writing experience of a roller ball, and the ease of a ball point. Parker Ingenuity is as beautiful as it is modern. The attention-grabbing design elements and trend inspired finishes make this the newest must-have accessory to compliment your lifestyle.

I used to not be picky with my pens, especially with Parker but at this point, seeing how fashionable its design and how my writing is being done with Parker Ingenuity.

 Everyone is a brand. We are all individuals who has a brand of its own and no matter how we sell ourselves whether of applying of a job, looking for friends, building a network or even when looking for a potential lover – it’s all about branding. Mind you, branding all starts with how we present ourselves. 

Like how Barney in How I Met Your Mother says, “C’mon Ted and SUIT UP!” It’s all about attracting your target and nailing them. Definitely, dressing up to impress is a factor. I personally never like suits before but as I grew up, I realized their existence and worth especially when I started to be in the age where I needed to look professional. I especially love Express suits, whether it’s for men or women – they have it all! They all look fashionable too! I especially like their Women’s studio stretch jacket suit. It’s classy, stylish and comfortable to wear. It’s so comfortable I could wear it anywhere – it becomes a part of you when you get used to it.

If you, like me, are the type of person that doesn’t want to feel the cold weather but doesn’t want to dress for it either then there is only one solution. I discovered it the hard way but I discovered it none the less, wear thermal clothing!

Now, for those who didn’t know:
What is a Thermal Clothing? How is this different from what we usually wear? Do do they work and keep us warm?

Thermal clothing is usually a type of clothing used during winter or at times when you feel cold. The material used on this type of clothing is very different from what is used normally in clothing. Thermal clothing material absorbs our body’s moisture and dries it, quickly regulating its moisture efficiently. In addition to this, it has a breathable quality in the material that lets your skin breathe whilst keeping the heat in.

Just like normal clothing there is a huge range of styles and types to choose from. From thermal underwear to tops and thermal pants, anyone can enjoy winter and cold summer nights without looking odd or standing out. It gives us a sense of comfort so that we can enjoy our daily lives without feeling too cold, uneasy and looking awkward, too!

Did you know that you don’t need to show too much skin or wear revealing clothes to be sexy at all? Just wearing women’s jeans will do the trick. It all comes down to wearing the right kind of jeans for your body type.

For clothing, I always take notice of the quality and texture of what I wear. For jeans, I give my trust in Women’s Express jeans. From boot cut to flare jeans and even the ever so popular jean leggings, Express has the denim essentials you need! The best part of all these, they have good quality jeans which you won’t be seeing anywhere else!

Make Sure That Your Online Dating Profile Is Excellent

Your profile is your way to meet people so put some time into it. Make sure that it represents you in a positive way. Focus entirely on what you want from a potential mate and what you love in life while staying away from talking about anything that you don’t like or don’t want. And make sure that you go into greater depth about who you are and what you want to find in someone else than just generic traits like a good sense of humor, a nice person, and up for anything. Be specific enough that your profile describes only you and not every other person online too.

Show Off Great Pictures Of Yourself

Pictures get attention so show off some great ones. These pictures should show off your face from a normal straight on perspective and should not include your friends. The people looking at these profiles want to get to know you and no one else. Smile, look natural, and don’t post body shots because anyone who posts those isn’t looking for a relationship.

Talk To A Lot Of People

Don’t dismiss anyone who messages you without good reason. Sometimes you will find a message from someone who doesn’t fit what you were expecting but who could be perfect for you. Give those who message you a real chance but be clear when you have reached the point where you are not interested in a relationship with that person.

Be Clear About What You Want

Sometimes dating profiles don’t give any real indication of what a person is looking for. You might get more responses this way but many of them won’t be what you want. Know some basic, specific things you want to find in a match and state them directly. You’ll find what you’re looking for more quickly if you are clear about what it is that you want. If you are vague then anyone reading your profile will think you don’t know what you want.

Protect Yourself

You have to be safe when dating online. Don’t share any personal information like your financial information, your last name, or even where you work. The most important way to keep yourself safe is to take it slowly. Whenever anyone tries to set up a meeting shortly after you start talking, this should be a big sign to you that something isn’t right.

Be Positive About The Whole Experience

You probably came to online dating to find your life partner and this is good. Just be positive as you meet individuals who are not what you are looking for. Everyone has to run into a few individuals who are not the one on the way to meeting that perfect match.
