The No-Makeup Look
Step 3: Powder
Solve the annoying problem of having
visible pores and a shiny face. Make skin appear flawless and silky with
a face powder that’s closest to your skintone. Using a powder brush,
apply powder lightly all over the face. Dust along the jawline and neck
for an even application.
Step 4: Blush
Give your cheeks a subtle flush of color.
Applying powder blush from the apple of the cheek to the hairline should
be in light strokes to avoid harsh streaks of blush. Also, try using a
cheek stain or cream blush for a more natural glow. When choosing a
blush shade, consider your skin undertone to complement your skintone.
Most Filipinos have warm skin undertones; earth shades like brown and
peach work well with morena skin.
Step 5: Lipstick
Color those lips with neutral shades of
lipstick or a shade darker than your lip color. Instead of using bold
colors, another way of enhancing the lips is to top it off with a sheer
gloss.

Rainproof Workouts
Make a Personal Appearance
Before you send off that quick
email to your office mate regarding next week’s staff meeting, why don’t
you go over to his or her cubicle and tell them yourself? Getting out
of your chair and walking a few extra steps, even if it’s just a few
meters away, makes a difference and counts as part of the 10,000 steps
you need to do in a day anyway. While you’re at it, skip the elevator
and try using the stairs. If you work at the top floor of a sky scraper,
then at least walk a few flights before punching the “up” button.
Going up manually strengthens your quadriceps, as well as improves blood
circulation.
Now while these mentioned activities can’t measure up
to calories burned from running or spinning, they at least burn more
than you would sitting at your office desk or watching TV at home.
Kitchen Calisthenics
Barre3
founder Sadie Lincoln understands how women can be too busy to make it
to a barre3 class, so she created a home version of the total body
workout, called mybarre3.com. Here, her signature toning, lifting, and
shaping classes—normally practiced in a studio with a ballet barre,
weights, and a resistance ball—are available on video, and each exercise
move is designed for you to do in the comfort of your own home. Your
kitchen counter can replace the ballet barre, and 500ml water bottles
can serve as your dumbbells!
Rainproof Workouts
Hitting the Wall
may be
a dreaded phrase when it comes to marathon running, but when it comes
to exercising indoors, these three words can only mean one thing: great
resistance training. Especially if you’re still building strength to do
full pushups on the floor, pressing against the wall helps develop your
chest muscles without straining your back. Lower leg muscles can get
toned and strengthened when you press your back against the wall and
bend your knees, as if sitting on a chair.
Office Yoga
Sitting in front of the computer all day at
work can cause job-related body strains in the wrists, hands, neck,
shoulders, and hips. If you can’t make it to your regular yoga class,
there’s no reason to throw in the towel and not practice at all. Yogajournal.com’s
specially produced series of videos designed for the working set helps
you de-stress, improve circulation, and improve your posture over 15
days. Try it over lunch break with your officemates!
Cleaning Up—Zumba Style
House chores can be monotonous,
but blasting your favorite dance music up to full volume while mopping
the floor, scrubbing the sink, or wiping the walls turns these dreaded
“have-to” tasks in to fun “want-to” activities!
low-cost tricks to a more organized desk
Use magnets
Make use of anything metal that’s close to your desk. A cubicle wall,
metal drawer handles, even metal screws can help you out here. You can
directly post documents on these using magnets. You could also use
magnetic bars to create a metal corkboard.
Low-cost trick to try: Using bigger magnets, you can suspend metal cases on your wall to create make-shift wall pockets for your stuff.
Label everything
One of the cheapest ways to organize those files? Label them! It can be
something as simple as writing on the folders or putting a color-coded
page mark to help you keep track. But labels do not just work on your
files. They also help you organize the plugs of your computer or your
CDs and flash drives.
Low-cost trick to try: If you don’t want to use stickers for
labels, write your labels on recycled folders or card paper, punch out a
hole in each label, thread some yarn or recycled ribbon through the
holes, and tie these DIY labels onto the items in need of labelling.
Color-code it
Another thing that works for a lot of people is color coding. Color-code
your files for faster recall. You can do this using a variety of things
that come in different colors: folders, paper clips, stickers,
post-its, ink. For instance, you can assign a color to your boss or, if
you’re still in school, assign a color to each subject.
Low-cost trick to try:With marking pens, colored tape, or even
crayons, mark those foldable colorful cardboard magazine holders to go
with your system. Then place all corresponding files in the appropriate
holder.
Use a clutter basket
Things that don’t belong on your desk somehow pile up quickly ON your
desk: magazines, kids’ toys (if you’re a parent), CDs, expired invites,
etc. So have a basket or any container close by and, throughout the day,
toss in that container anything you find on your desk that belongs
somewhere else in your house or office. Before you wrap up for the day,
spend five minutes emptying that basket by putting the contents back
where they belong.
Low-cost trick to try: An old shoebox will also work perfectly. Wrap it in old magazine covers or a pretty gift wrapper if that’s your thing.
low-cost tricks to a more organized desk
Make drawer divisions
You don’t have to waste time looking for pins or staple wires buried
under bigger items inside your drawer. Keep those small items in one
permanent place by dividing your drawer into smaller sections.
Ready-made drawer dividers are available in department stores’ home
sections.
Low-cost trick to try: Use old mugs, recycled jam bottles, or ice
trays and line them up inside your drawer. You can also use closet
drawer dividers, those which were originally made to organize underwear
and socks.
Get all those cords and cables in line
Keep your computer cords in check with cable or cord organizers. There
are several different kinds in the market, depending on your needs. For
instance, if your problem is length, get the round ones that let you
wind up the cord. Another kind lets you stick the cords onto the wall
while another gathers all the cords in a bind, leaving out the plugs.
Low-cost trick to try: Use recycled cores of bathroom tissue or kitchen tissue to hold together cords.
Hang what you can
Free up precious surface area on your desk by using S-hooks. Hang these
hooks off the top of your office cubicle to give you extra “storage”
space. You can hang all sorts of things from S-hooks: headphones,
clamps, wire baskets and shelves, even paper clips!
Low-cost trick to try: If you do not have a cubicle to hang the
S-hook from, consider setting up a short curtain rod or a simple long
stick. Also try (unused) chopsticks: Put wayward rolls of tape through
the chopsticks, and suspend the chopsticks from S-hooks.
Put clutter in drawers
Another perfect organization tool is the mini chest of drawers that you
can place under your desk. Use this to store small items like your thumb
drives, cord ties, CDs, etc for easier but more organized access.
Low-cost trick to try: Do you have an old spice rack that’s just
gathering dust in your kitchen? That would be great storage for small
items on your desk that tend to get lost. If you prefer actual drawers,
SM Homeworld has plastic drawers that are small enough to fit under your
desk.
low-cost tricks to a more organized desk
Yes, your desk can be as clutter-free as this one! Let us help you out with these 10 cheap tricks that can do to turn your desk into one happy place.
String up reminders
Do you know how to keep track of all those bits of reminders floating
around in your head? Write them down and put them where you can see
them. Put a message holder on your desk to keep those reminders in one
place.
Low-cost trick to try: One unique way to do this is to tie a
piece of string from one end of your desk to another. You can then hang
your reminders using paper clips or clamps on the string. Think
clothesline for your paper trail.
Put your corkboard to work
A corkboard, despite its rather dull appearance, is actually a very
useful organizing tool. Tacking important invites, receipts, and
reminders on your corkboard accomplishes two things: it frees up more
space on your desk, and it keeps those reminders within your line of
vision.
Low-cost trick to try: Divide the corkboard into different
sections. For instance, if you want to separate things that you need to
do today from those you can still do tomorrow, why not create three
sections: Today-Tomorrow-This week. There are a lot of other categories
you can make! It’s all up to you.
Tips for an Effortless Evening Look
Smolder/Pout
Just like choosing just one statement piece
is key, our fashion-philes recommend choosing between which feature
exactly you want to play up when it comes to speedy glam makeup. "I
prefer a clean face but with red lips," shares accessories designer Aira
Franco. Perez agrees. "A smoky eye or a bold lip, doing both can look
like you've tried too hard," she adds. "If you're coming from the gym,
make sure not to pile on the foundation and just enhance your workout
glow with a highlighter like Benefit's High Beam," says Alyanna.
White night
Fashion designer Chris Diaz says that even a
white tailored shirt can go from corporate to cocktail. "Evening looks
don't need to be complicated. Opening a few buttons of your crisp, white
shirt, rolling up the cuffs and pulling up the collar gives it instant
oomph," he says. "Adding eye-catching bling helps you avoid that "came
from work" look, too," Diaz adds.
Tips for an Effortless Evening Look
Handheld haul
Nothing screams "straight from the office"
than carting around your huge tote. "Make sure to keep a dressy clutch
in your tote if you're going to go out," says Perez. "A small one that
can fit cash, a credit card, ID, blotting paper and lipstick should be
enough," says Gan.
High roller
"A pair of sexy heels does wonders for any
dress," shares Perez. Ruby Gan recommends either pointy pumps or
open-toed sandals, which goes well with most dress styles.
Tips for an Effortless Evening Look
Blazer glory
No time to change after work? Fashion
designer Mariane Perez recommends wearing a sexy shift dress to work and
topping it off with a blazer throughout the day. "It's party on the
inside, business on the outside. Look for a dress with a slim
silhouette, like a pencil skirt or shift," she says. Since you're still
coming from work, she recommends toning down the shiny details on the
dress and focusing on other embellishments instead. "A little bit of
flair, like clever draping or subtle embellishment will still look
work-appropriate. Look for sexy details like a dress cut low in the back
that can be concealed by your blazer while at work—-you can ditch the
blazer after," adds Perez.
State your piece
Our style experts have weighed in on
statement pieces and they all agree that accessories can spell the
difference between drab and fab. They're also unanimous in that the
statement piece should be just one versus piling on the bling. "Just one
statement piece: a necklace, earrings or a bracelet, but make sure your
accessory speaks volumes by itself," shares Love Chic fashion blogger
Shai Lagarde. "Accessorize your day-to-night dress with statement
accents but don't overload," warns Perez. "It's also good to go with a
nice pair of dangling earrings, they help frame your face," adds Shop
Manila Inc. COO Ruby Gan.
Tips for an Effortless Evening Look
Sleek and sophisticated
The
good ol' ponytail is the most reliable hairstyles around, and with good
reason. This versatile hairstyle can be functional (when at the gym) or
fashionable when done right. If you want your ponytail to look
party-ready, hairstylist Elaine Ganuelas recommends keeping it sleek.
"Definitely a clean, low ponytail or a really high one, the sleeker the
better," she says. To keep a ponytail looking sleek, brush back hair
into a ponytail and secure with an elastic. Lose the part and use a
styling product (we love the one from TRESemmé) to smooth away any frizz
and hair that sticks out from the ponytail.
Bring sexy black
"For fashion effortless, no matter how
cliché it may sound, you can never go wrong with a simple LBD," asserts
celebrity stylist Alyanna Martinez. Look for black dresses with
body-skimming silhouettes, embellished details or interesting fabrics.

Skipping
Thought your skipping days were over? Think again. Skipping isn’t just
for eight-year-old girls. It's no coincidence that boxers, who are
arguably some of the fittest athletes around, regularly perform skipping
drills. Skipping is in fact a great exercise and there are lots of
benefits. To make sure that your rope is the correct length for your
height, stand on the middle of the rope and pull the handles upwards
until the rope is taut. The handles should line up with the middle of
your chest.
How to Slim Down Without the Gym
Yoga
Grab your yoga mat and do some yoga poses three or four times a week.
Although it doesn’t feel very strenuous, yoga helps to sculpt your body
and helps you get slim without the gym. Some great moves that help to
tone include the Downward Dog Split and the Temple Pose. It may be best
to go to a yoga class or get a yoga DVD if you’re not sure what you are
doing, but remember the perfect pose we may see others doing might be a
long way from what our own body can currently achieve.
How to Slim Down Without the Gym
Eat before you train
When you have a gym membership you will often find yourself rushing to
the gym before or after work. You race there, have a workout and then
grab a quick shower before shooting off. What you probably won’t do
though is make enough time to eat before you go. This is important if
you want to slim down because eating an hour before exercise ensures
that you perform to full capacity during your training session and
therefore you will burn a greater amount of fat.
How to Slim Down Without the Gym
Stock up on the liquids
What do you do before a meal? Wash your hands and scout out a good TV
show to watch during your meal? Well, although we think you should
definitely still wash your hands before you eat, if you want to slim
without the gym you should also try having a light soup before eating.
This light course will help fill you up, yet is relatively low in
calories. Having soup before your main course will also help you to stop
yourself from overeating.
How to Slim Down Without the Gym
Shopping
It is thought that the average woman burns 48,000 calories a year from
shopping alone; that works out at around 385 calories per week. If you
get that shopping-guilt almost all women feel when they wander into a
store then don’t panic. Just think the money you saved from the gym can
go towards this new dress or new pair of boots.
How to Slim Down Without the Gym
Fun equipment
Spending hours of your week silently running on a treadmill isn’t much
fun, but exercise doesn’t have to be like that. There are loads of fun
ways to work out. You could buy some gymnastics rings to work on your
upper body and your core. Or if the rings aren’t for you buy a hula hoop
to tone your waist area. If you get creative and have fun with your
exercise you’ll find that you will be more motivated to stick at it and
do more, which in turn will help you get slim and ditch the gym.
How to Slim Down Without the Gym
Have a treat in the week
When you’re super strict with yourself during the week it can be easy to
let the rules from the week slip when the weekend arrives. Studies have
found that this is true and that people who follow extremely healthy
diets during the week actually lose weight more slowly compared to those
who eat reasonably healthily all week. Therefore if you want to slim
without the gym, have a treat now and then.
How to Slim Down Without the Gym
Join a club
If you want to slim without the gym then you might benefit from joining a
club. Clubs are great because they’re social, they typically have
equipment to lend to you and they are great for boosting people’s
motivation. Before joining a club you need to first work out what sport
suits you. If you like being in a team you could join a badminton club.
If you like working solo then a running, or climbing club might be more
suited to you.
How to Slim Down Without the Gym
Variety
Doing the same exercise and eating the same foods is dull and even the
most disciplined of people would struggle to maintain their new regimen.
Instead, try to eat new, healthy foods on a weekly basis and mix up
what you eat. You should also do a variety of exercise, like running,
dancing, Pilates and skipping.
How to Slim Down Without the Gym
Don’t cut the dairy
Although the high levels of fat in dairy products make those who want to
get slim without hitting the gym wary, it turns out that eating cheese,
milk and other dairy products actually promotes weight loss. The study
was conducted in Australia and the researchers suggest that the protein
levels in dairy products may help people feel fuller for longer and
therefore make them less likely to snack on calorific foods.

Print Jobs That Offer Both Excitement And Pay
Are you looking for an exciting career path that pays? Read on to learn about six smart options.
Versatile. Flexible. Adventure-seeking. Do these seem like keywords that someone might use to describe your personality? If so, you're probably not the type of person who's content working on the same thing day in and day out. But all jobs that pay well are dull and boring, right? Not necessarily."Sometimes job seekers feel like they have to 'settle' in some way," says Caroline Ceniza-Levine, career expert and co-author of the book "Six Steps To Job Search Success." "Settling in this case means taking a lower-paying job in exchange for meaning, challenge, or fun. Depending on your skills and interests, there are many jobs that are fulfilling and financially-rewarding."
Sound too good to be true? It's not. Keep reading to learn about six careers that are both exciting and report healthy median salaries.
