Ladies – How to care for your moustache

Face it, men aren't clamoring for ladies with moustaches; and women aren’t rushing to the beauty store to buy a fake moustache, yet most women are growing one as you read this.

To keep your unwanted moustache at bay, have it waxed. Shaving it only seems to make the problem worse. It’s not that the hair really grows in faster; it’s just that when the hairs do begin to grow back the stubbles are dark and not very lady-like.

By having your moustache waxed, many women report that the hair grows back less and less over time.

You Need a Clarifying Shampoo Now and Then

If you use shampoo, conditioners, hair spray, or for that matter any hair products, chances are you need a clarifying shampoo now and then.

When we use hair products, they build up on the hair, leaving it dull, unmanageable, and lifeless. Clarifying shampoos remove this buildup, leaving the hair shiny, soft, and healthier looking.

If you are unable to locate a clarifying shampoo in your supermarket, here's a mixture I use on my hair every three to four weeks:

To a plastic container I mix together 1/2 cup of my favorite shampoo and 1/2 cup baking soda. With this mixture, I wash my hair twice, rinsing well after each shampoo. I always finish the routine by conditioning my hair and rinsing well again.

When I feel products are building up on my hair again, I strip them off with a clarifying shampoo or I use this mixture.

Dressing for a Speech that Scares You to Death

You have been called upon to give a speech; you've practiced your speech many times over, but you are still scared out of your wits! Now it's time to look outward at your clothing. When you look good, you feel good. When you feel good, you have more confidence.

Spend an afternoon watching a program such as QVC, or the news. Take notes about the clothing the announcers are wearing - from their neck on down to their shoes (if you can see them). What's being worn for jewelery? What about the hair?

When you've come up with a list of what you feel is a dress for success outfit, go shopping, spend a little extra money on something that looks and feels great, get a manicure, and visit your stylist.

When you look good, you naturally feel more confident, and that confidence will spill over into your speech.

Underarm itching

Shaving with a dull razor can cause uncomfortable armpit itching. To relieve the itch and help the healing process, try using an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream for a day or two and be sure to toss the dull razor!
