        http://www.fromgardentosoupbowl.com/blog/one-day-soup-cleanse   We like to detox our body with soup because it  gives it a break and provides rest for the digestion system while flooding it with nutrients.  Believe us, you will not be starving with a soup cleanse but you might start missing your accustomed foods. We chose to do a one day cleanse because  our everyday diet already contains mostly healthy  food. You can do one, two, three or even a week cleanse. Remember never starve yourself. Listen to your own body and if it craves a piece  of chicken breast or fish, then do it.  Just remember to make a healthy choice. How you will feel during a cleanse is so individual.  Detoxing is not always easy. It can be simple and smooth for some, while for others there might be a withdrawal effect such as mild headaches and a dip in energy.  It yo...

Blue and pink makeup may sound a bit clownish, but rest assured, they can look fabulous if you pick the right shades. Pantone’s 2016 Colors of the Year — Serenity Blue and Rose Quartz — are actually a great makeup duo as they can be softened or intensified as needed to suit the look you’re going for. Check out two ways to rock this year’s hottest colors!  Look #1: Blue Lids, Pink Lips, Pink Cheeks  Step 1: Prime the eye area and apply a light blue shadow (try The Body Shop Color Brush Wet & Dry Eye Shadow Palette in Boyfriend Jeans ) all over your lids, and up to the crease.

  Well, what do you know? Two of our favorite (and most popular) makeup trends of all time — over-lining lips and contouring — have decided to team up! And what do you get when these two illusive tricks unite? Lip contouring. It’s the full-on shadow-and-light effect … for your pout. Following the same method as facial contouring, lip contouring focuses on adding dimension and definition to create the appearance of perfectly plump lips. So, grab your trusty liner, and let’s get to contouring. What You Need: Lip balm Lip liner (a few shades darker than your natural lip tone) Nude lipstick (a slightly lighter shade than your liner) Lip brush Highlighter Lip gloss   What to Do: 1. To ensure an even and flake-free application, exfoliate lips and apply a layer of non-greasy balm to your lips. 2. Using a liner that’s just a bit darker than your natural lip tone, slightly over-line your lips , starting from the inner corners and up to your Cupid’s bow for ultimat...
