How To Shape Your Brows Like A Pro!
Step 1: First we take a pencil and line it up with the inner corner of your nose
and the inner corner of your eye. Then, we make a mark there using any brow pencil. This tells you where your eyebrow should start. 
Step 2: Next, we hold the pencil horizontally from the outside corner of your
nose through the outer corner of your pupil and make another mark—as
this is where your arch should be.
Step 3: Finally, we line up the outer corner of your nose with the outer corner
of your eye to make the final mark—this is where your eyebrow should
end. Now, we can carefully fill in from mark to mark to create your new and improved brow. Eye Color May Indicate Risk for Serious Skin Conditions
Eye color may be an indicator of whether a person is high-risk for
certain serious skin conditions. A study, led by the University of
Colorado School of Medicine, shows people with blue eyes are less likely
to have vitiligo. It then follows, according to scientists, that people
with brown eyes may be less likely to have melanoma. Vitiligo is an
autoimmune skin disease in which pigment loss results in irregular white
patches of skin and hair. Melanoma is the most dangerous kind of skin cancer.

HEALTHY TAN - Tanning Beds Vs Spray Tanning
My favorite airbrush tanning place! Natalie is amazing! Her formula is great for all skin types & tones! If you have considered getting a tan at a salon using their tanning beds or tanning booths, have you considered the negative effects? When tanning beds first arrived on the scene, people rushed to use them extolling their healthful benefits and convenience as revolutionary. Soon afterwards, tanning beds were popping up everywhere until there was a complete saturation of tanning salons all across the USA. Then the reports on unhealthy effects of ultraviolet radiation, potential skin cancers and dangers of sun poisoning from the bulbs spread like wildfire.
People in a relentless search to acquire the perfect bronze skin, and the zealous efforts of manufacturers to meet those needs have developed through science a safe, effective and realistic looking way to get a beautiful tan without the dangers of the sun or tanning bed bulbs.
A perfect option to the traditional dangerous ways of getting a gorgeous tan is to consider an alternative method such as a spray tanning system. Unlike the tanning beds tanning booths or conventional sunbathing, spray tanning uses an FDA approved safe formula to give you a beautiful bronze body.
All sunless tanning products use a natural process derived from sugar cane or sugar beets called DHA. DHA (Di-Hydroxy-Acetone) is the active ingredient in sunless tanning products and is a safe FDA approved chemical for tanning. Manufacturers will mix the DHA with various other compounds to produce various finished effects and make their spray tanning solution unique.
When selecting a DHA solution, personal preference and finished effect will be a matter of personal choice. If you have medium skin tone, you may want to select a heavier concentration of DHA, and if you have very dry skin, you may want to select one with natural moisturizers to help the DHA adhere to your skin.
Since prolonged exposure to the sun and using a tanning bed can result in painful sunburn, blistering or even skin cancers like melanoma, a wise choice to obtaining a beautiful tan will be to explore more deeply the benefits of spray tanning. This effective method is easy to apply and easy to maintain.
Everyone wants a nice tan-- However, not everyone is naturally blessed with beautiful glowing skin. There are several differences in tanning beds vs spray tanning -- spray tanning is the best option because it is an affordable and safe way to get tan without damaging your skin.

*NEW* at the DeYoung Museum: The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier:
March 24, 2012 - August 19, 2012 Herbst Special Exhibition Galleries. Dubbed fashion’s enfant terrible, Jean Paul Gaultier launched his first prêt-à-porter collection in 1976 and founded his own couture house in 1997. Emerging as a designer in the 1970s, he developed his own dress codes that reflected the changing world around him. The openly gay Gaultier uses his designs to tackle gender and transgender issues through androgynous, gender-bending styles, meanwhile delving even further into some of the darker areas of the sexual revolution. Always provocative, he addresses issues of multiculturalism by bringing ethnic diversity to the Paris runway. Despite the gritty and sometimes controversial context of his collections, the clothes remain beautiful, superbly crafted with the finest dressmaking and detailing skills. This dynamic, multimedia exhibition will include 140 haute couture and prêt-à-porter designs created between the mid-1970s and 2010, along with numerous sketches, archival documents, fashion photographs, and video clips that spotlight Gaultier’s collaborations with filmmakers, choreographers, and musicians, most notably Madonna. For this presentation, Gaultier partnered with the Montreal-based theater company Ubu Compagnie de Création in the design of 30 animated mannequins who talk and sing in playful and poetic vignettes.
