Every woman would like to look gorgeous as well as feel stunning even as they go about their daily routine. To achieve this, modern women rely on the power of make-up. It’s just a matter of choosing the right colors to blend or contrast, right shade to highlight, to achieve a satisfying end result. Additionally, they need to know and learn some eye make-up ideas that will help bring out a woman’s beauty from within and out.

Lots of women have mustered knowing what would be good for their faces, from their skin color, eye color, up to the contour or shape of both the face and the eyes. Women are able to express feelings or emotions through their artistic and creative make-up style and handiwork. Through constant practice and experimentation, they have identified and found the shades and colors that actually work well for their faces and eyes.

In reality, one cannot use the same make-up combination and blending all the time. Different occasions and events require variations in make-up. The basic thing is to choose eye make-up color that would address the skin tone. Some shades would be wonderful for specific skin tones while other shades may work just for fair skin.

One must also take into consideration proper make-up worn during the day and that which is suitable for night outs. This is because the tones can vary greatly under these two time frames.

Finally, one must understand which part of your face you want to highlight or be the focal point. Some women may possibly put a lot more on the lip area, while some might want to increase “oomph” to the eyes.

For daytime make-up, the secret is to apply as less as possible. If you wear heavy make-up during the day when the sun is shining out brightly which may tend to over-accentuate vivid colors or bright shades.

The great hues that may be used for a variety of skin colors will be in the pear group of colors or perhaps the earthly tones. Needless to say, a refined shadow such as cream or perhaps those earthly browns will be a good base shade.

The lighter shade on the upper lids will reveal highlight your eye area. One fantastic technique to produce the eyes to look huge as well as vibrant and smiling is to always curl your own eyelash and apply a mascara to keep the effect,

For the face, one may use mango or perhaps plum to get an all-natural gleam. Make use of a color that will blend well with your normal skin tone. For the lips, any naked or even peach/pink lipsticks or color will create a more sensuous appeal for your lips.

Obviously, get together make-up is much more daring and vibrant, something which can make people turn their heads as you strut out on the entrance door at the function hall, for instance. Fantastic colors to put on for events are the loud ones, for example, green,  silver as well as very bright pink. These are eye-popping colors and you should have the know-how or the technique to combine and blend them nicely with the rest of your  cosmetics, attire and desired effect.

You may use dark eyeliner to enhance the form of one’s face or perhaps highlight the effect you want to project. Keep in mind that when choosing your own top shade, you should consider this : when featuring the eyes, play it down with the lips; when you need to highlight your lips, pick refined colors for your eyes. Only one should stand out.

One last important point to remember and keep in mind is to have the self-confidence and feel good about yourself, with or without the make-up. It will be a total waste of make-up preparation if you will not feel good about it.

He is second to the youngest of the family. He was fifteen years old when his father died. Her mother was busy raising them up after his father’s death. Loneliness flicker when he was left alone, her mother was working and her older siblings went to school. He stopped schooling because he didn’t want to pursue it.

Looking back during the times when his father was still beside him. They would usually come together riding on a motorcycle just to get fresh air. They would go to a beach, his father taught him how to swim. Tears fell like streams of water that came from the heart.

His father was a hard working man. He came from a poor family from a province. He had seen the poverty and the need to do something to get out from it. He chose to leave his parents and went to the city to look for a job. A big company was hiring an assistant that time for a certain position, he then volunteered. Through the years of hard work he had been promoted to a higher position.

The young boy was determined to walk through his father’s footsteps as a hardworking man. But when his father died, his dreams were shattered. He went on to spent more time with the bad influence of his peers.

His mother forced him to go to school to keep him away from his friends. He eventually followed as his mother have told him. Just as her mother have thought it will do him no harm but then the worst happened. She thought his son would go to school everyday but then he went to internet cafes and play online games. His tuition fees weren’t paid instead used the money on playing games.

He never finished high school. He went on with his friends and learn how to drink at a young age and became a drunkard. Her mother miserably kept track of him to lead him the right direction. But then, he was hardheaded. He kept on doing what he thought would make him forget his father’s death.

He was sleeping down the street drunk with his friends. When a dream came after him like a haunting. He dreamed of walking down the stairways and finding a coffin downstairs, he was looking forward at who was inside it. To his dismay, it was her mother.

He woke up that day troubled and went home to see his mother. He can’t afford losing her. She is the only one that is left for him. He hugged and kissed her mother. She smiled and asked “what happened to you my son?”. He then whispered, “I’m sorry I have been so selfish.” He should not be selfish enough of thinking about himself. He can move on with his life spending each day with her mother knowing she is still there for him.

We sometimes face troubles in life that seemed unbearable. But then when we opened our eyes to change and start looking for what we still have only then will we be content and not consumed by the fierce emotions of loneliness and pain. Instead, we can still walk joyfully together with the person who is close to our hearts.

A young man passed by the beggar carrying on his right hand the latest cellphone he just bought. The beggar called out for him for a penny, but he was busy talking to his client over the phone setting up a meeting.

A car stopped beside the street where the beggar is sitting, honking it’s horn for it can’t park on its parking lot because a child passing blocked its way in. A middle-aged man went down from the car with his suitcase at hand. He had his bodyguards following him. The beggar was about to follow him asking for help when a bodyguard stood by him to stop him.

A painter carrying a box filled with paints, brushes and some stuff used to paint walked along where the beggar was. He walked the fastest to get his project done the fastest. He accidentally dropped a brush and got it back on the box without paying attention to the beggar.

A teacher passed by the street with plenty of things on her mind preparing for the class lessons she will be doing today. Familiarizing the lessons while walking ahead to the school. She had in mind the students she will be assigning for the reporting of a certain topic. Besides the fact that her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. She never noticed the beggar.

A seven year old child held hands with his mother noticed the beggar from afar. He had kept a coin from his pocket from yesterday. He should be saving a coin everyday to buy his mother a card on her birthday. He looked at the old man’s clothes and have seen how dirty and worn out it is. He saw the wrinkles and the sadness on his face. As he went nearer he pitied the beggar and gave the coin he saved to him. The beggar smiled as he dropped a coin on his container.

The fashion model wore high heels that she never have seen the beggar sat down, the young man should be listening attentively to the one he is talking to ever the phone that he never heard the beggar, the middle-aged man was blocked by his bodyguard that he never heard the beggar called, a painter could have painted the misery of life the beggar is having and the teacher could have taught the students on helping the beggars. The child must have been too little to notice the beggar from afar.

Many of us in different situations in life somehow passed through a beggar down the street, should we be too busy with our daily routines that we never gave a brief stop and give a coin for a smile? The child gave his coin but that’s all he got.

In a third world country like Philippines many children are raised with poor parents. The irony of thing is the poorer the higher the number of children being raised. There is no actual family planning. Some have been told of such family planning methods through seminars held at their respective health centers but some never heard of such planning. They were uneducated and illiterate.

There was a poor couple who were facing an unplanned pregnancy. It was just few months after giving birth to a son. They ate at least thrice a day but suffered the agonizing heat of the sun. Both of them are laborers. They would wait on a dump truck that would dump garbage on their place. They would then pick up will bare hands some tin cans, used bottles and scrap metals out of the garbage and sold it at the nearby junk shop.

A middle class couple had lost their should be first born son of a miscarriage. They have waited a year for his wife to get pregnant after the wedding, thought the pregnancy was all the way to born a healthy baby. But then, just at it’s sixth month of pregnancy that they found out there was no more heartbeat of the fetus that was heard. Dismayed of what happened their relationship went cold and sad.

A rich couple who had been married for five years never had a child. His wife is barren, there is no hope for her to get pregnant. They went looking for the right child to adopt. They want to see the relatives of the child, their physical appearance if they looked good and if they have good background. They saw some of their relatives but haven’t met the parents. They planned to go abroad after the papers of the child be fully processed for adoption.

So, it was a three hour travel to get into the place of the prospective child to be adopted. It was the day that the child should be born. When they arrived at the place, they saw the mother’s physical appearance. The exact opposite of their relatives good looking features. But they can’t back out all was planned as it was. They have waited for few hours but her mother was still in labor. It was getting late and they still have to travel long way heading home. They just then left the place. After it, the ones who brought the couple to the place never heard of the couple’s interest of adopting the child again. That child is the daughter of the poor couple.

The poor couple who had planned to let the child be adopted had lost hope. Then, they decided of having the child to be adopted by her cousin, the middle class couple. She went to see her cousin to have her child adopted, though hesitant at first she accepted the child as her  foster daughter. It was the right decision for after that first miscarriage she never got pregnant again.

When adopting, should you be choosy to know who to adopt judging that child through the physical appearance of the parents? Should you not know first to accept them wholeheartedly? With the middle class couple is a sweet girl who loves them.She needs her mother for a shoulder to lean on. She deserves their love and nurturing care.

They have said that the old ones know best. They have been through life’s struggles and won some battles. At their age they will give you an advice and say, “trust me, I’ve been there.”

Getting married at a young age would be perceived by them as a failure in the future. There was a couple who got married at the age of nineteen with the consent of their parents. The girl wasn’t pregnant at all, she just have to escape from her step mother who had been cruel to her.

In their house, she couldn’t call it a home, her mother died at a young age from breast cancer. His father shouldn’t get married after her mother was lost, that was what she ever wanted. But her father eventually got married after a year. She couldn’t accept the situation.

She didn’t opened her heart to love and she wasn’t loved back by her step mother.She became a wicked step mother on her sight because she had hatred on her heart. On the other hand, her step mother also revenged on her by mistreating her and her younger brother. She then begun hating her father for making the wrong decision of marrying her.

Life wasn’t easy for her but she have someone to love her, her boyfriend. Her boyfriend have seen the situation and asked her to get married. So that was it, they got married at such young age.

Her husband was just a student by that time. When his son was born he strive to finish his studies and he did it. He became an engineer with a family as his inspiration. Their two children were raised well and became professionals as well.

Now, they say that getting married late would be such a success. All are set, a fully furnished house, a car in the garage and a stable job to sustain the family.

A man at his young age would jump from a relationship to the other, just played around the bush and not really getting serious to relationships. He would wake up each day getting lazy with life. As if nothing is going to happen tomorrow, never thought of marriage, never his priority. At his mid thirty he realized he was not getting any younger so he then went to start a new life of living responsibly. He opened a new business and had it progressed well.

At his late thirty he found the one for him and got married. He had a son and is happily married. He then said to his father, “If only I got married at an early age I should have worked earlier for my son’s future and could have played around with my son at a longer period of time, now I easily get tired of running with him.”

It is right seeking the advice of the elders because they know more in life for they traveled farther in life. They know better but no one knows best. We make decisions but we never know what is best for us. For there is no guidelines on how to live life but just live life on a daily basis and make the best of it. Life is a battle and we should fight for life’s struggles and win the battle.

I am a woman myself. I have grown up seeing love stories and fairy tales on movies. It was very enchanting to watch. I would rather watch it than hearing the yelling and noise of a battered wife my mother went through.

I was a little girl when my father got really drowned in liquor. He would beat my mother inside their room. I would cover my ears with both my hands so I won’t hear them. I have told myself they are old enough to settle it.

I satisfy myself into watching movies than thinking about their misery. There was a time my mother almost gave up to their marriage but my father asked for forgiveness and stopped drinking for a while. There was harmony at home that time.

A few days after a friend paid my father a visit. He couldn’t say no to liquor once again. I thought he changed. He maybe have felt the bitter sweet taste of liquor and as well as life’s. He got laid off at work and stayed at home. He went to drink the more, each night. My mother would nagged at him telling him harsh words and they went quarreling again.

It was really hard times. My mother was the one who worked for the family and going home with a drunkard husband would be so painful for her. When she went home, I never saw her happy with her life. She was dreadfully wasn’t smiling at all.

My mother went on in working for the family until she earned some savings to start a little business in which my father should look up to. I never thought of it was a good idea and then it really wasn’t. My father drank that night with the amount of money that should be paid for the supplier when he got drunk and his money was stolen. He went home sober. The business never succeed instead the drinking succeeded.

I have seen my mother as a strong willed woman she never gave up on my father for the sake of us, their children. Though there were times that she thought of giving up. My father was irresponsible and drunkard. Not really a good father to look up to.

He got satisfied with drinking that he never thought of us as his responsibility. But the good thing is sooner he came to realize the messed he have made with his life and his family. When I later asked him why he have done those past, he just answered, “I was burping with satisfaction when I drank liquor and only then I realized that I should be burping with satisfaction in the responsibility of taking care of my family and loving my wife.”

I have seen my mother found the true love of her life that amid the pain she went through she stood by my father for better or worst. It came into my senses that that’s what marriage is all about forgiving and loving. Of course, there were hardships and only through those hardships that you will be burping with satisfaction.

Whistle while you Work

If you work in an office, your coworkers would probably get out the duct tape, if you whistled while on the job, assuming the boss hadn’t already called you into the office.  If you work outside or in a big open space, you might get away with it.  But, it certainly wouldn’t help increase your job opportunity, unless you were paid to be a professional whistler.  Yes, there is a man that gets paid to warble his way through life.

Weird Writer

Naturally, after reading about all of these weird and unique professions, you are probably wondering where you can find all of these unique individuals and see how they got into their strange position.

Well, they might have read the work of an odd job journalist.  Someone has to go and investigate these jobs, in order to make sure they are legitimate sources of income and not just someone’s lame attempt at ten minutes worth of fame.

Of course, this job would not be for just anyone.  You would have to be willing to travel a lot.  Also, as part of your journalistic endeavors, you would likely find yourself in some very weird and often dirty places, in order to get the scoop.

English Please

The last time you purchased something that had to be put together, did you happen to pay close attention to the instruction booklet?  You may have noticed that the instructions have been written in several different languages. Because societies have become so mobile, there is now a big melting pot of people that may not speak English as their first language.

For some people, Halloween is a favorite holiday.  It’s fun to get dressed up and pretend to be someone or something else for a couple of hours.  Kids love trick-o-treating, and others love the opportunity to throw a harvest party.

But, what is a Halloween party without Jack-o-Lanterns to add to the holiday spirit.  But, if you have ever carved a pumpkin, you know what a challenge it can be.  First, you have to take out the seeds and other goop in the middle.  Then, it takes a bit of sawing to cut through the thick exterior.

So, you should be able to appreciate the world record holder for the fastest pumpkin carver on record.  Stephen Clarke, of Orlando Florida, achieved the feat in 24.03 seconds.  Can you beat that, without doing yourself bodily harm, of course?

Favorite Foods

How much of your favorite food can you consume in one day, every day?  Of course, you will not make it into the world record books, if you eat until you are sick to your stomach, or if your stomach were to collapse under the weight of your edibles onslaught.

So, how does a man make it in the record books after eating at least two pounds of metal every day, for the last 50 years?  If that wasn’t strange enough, glass is for dessert.  No, not a glass filled with ice cream.  He eats the glass itself.

Metal is definitely not on the diet of the average person, let alone a favorite food.  Now, if you are talking pizza that is a different story.  In fact, there are many teenagers that would eat it several times a week, if given the chance.

For families with a teenage boy in the house, at least half a large pizza is consumed in a matter of minutes.  You might question whether he even had time to taste the pie.  But, did you know that the world record for consuming an entire pizza is one minute and forty-five seconds? In March 2008, a New Zealander named Josh set the record. Question:  How long after this feat was accomplished did he actually enjoy a pizza; or, does he have a new favorite food?

9.  Make a Wish

If a draft from an open door causes your candle to flicker and go out, you better have had a chance to make a wish.  Supposedly, you are in store for some bad luck that will be coming your way, because an evil spirit is near.

10.  Do you have a Light?

It seems that some people believe that it is bad luck to light three cigarettes with the same match.  What do they expect to happen?  Oh yah!  Three people are just setting themselves up for diseases like emphysema and cancer.  I guess that is really bad luck.

11.  Chalk Please

Have you ever wondered why a person will draw a chalk circle around themselves in vampire movies?  It seems that there is a very real superstition that evil spirits cannot harm you, if you are standing in a circle.  Why not just build a round house?

12.  Lucky Coin

How many times have you looked down at the pavement, in front of a supermarket or quick shop and found a coin.  Boy!  It’s your lucky day!  Or, is it?  According to superstition, you shouldn’t pick up the ones that are tails side up.  Why not?  They all spend the same.

13.  Jiminy Cricket

Supposedly, if you have a cricket in your house, it means good luck.  However, what’s lucky about not being able to sleep, because they are chirping in your house, in the middle of the night?

14.  Dry Skin Alert

If the palm of your left hand is itchy, you are going to be paying out some money; conversely, if your right hand itches, you are about to come into some money.  But, realistically, it probably means you have been neglecting your dry skin and need some hand lotion.

Take a moment to once again reflect on the idea of waste not, want not.  Now, answer this question: what do you think happens to anything you flush down the toilet? In a few seconds, it is literally out of sight, out of mind.  But, you can’t seriously think that it just magically disappears, is reabsorbed into the earth and used as fertilizer or something.

While that concept of recycling sounds less offensive, the truth is a harsh reality for some poor guy or gal that works very hard every day in a waste water treatment plant. The water we flush is cleaned and treated to the point that it would actually be safe to drink. So, the next time you enjoy a glass or a bottle of water, someone in a waste treatment plant made it possible.

Looks can be Deceiving

If you would like to get paid for being such a tad bit sneaky, this might be the perfect job for you.  When you go to the market and buy citrus fruit, doesn’t it look yummy?  The lemons are such a bright yellow and the oranges are the epitome of a morning sunrise. But, you should know that someone is getting paid to make that fruit look extra appetizing, so it will make its way into your shopping cart.  People actually get paid to be citrus fruit dyers, in order to conceal how ripe the fruit really is, or hide imperfections that make it look less than delicious.

Lasso a Reptile

If danger and notoriety are things to which you aspire, you might want to check into the occupation of crocodile wrangler.  Of course, if you have cable television, you have probably seen people who entertain thousands every summer by subduing well feed crocs in captivity.

But, what about the guys that literally risk life and limb to keep the public safe.  If you live in a neighborhood near where crocodiles like hang out, you know that one occasionally visits a back yard.  Some pets have mysteriously disappeared, never to be seen again.  In order to make sure that the next victim of a hungry and wild crocodile isn’t a child, someone has to wrangle that beast into submission and move it away from populated areas.  It could be you.

Stay tuned.  These are but a few of the strange, yucky, and amazing jobs that people actually get paid to fulfill.  So, if you are looking for an interesting career change, you might want to consider something a little more unique than the regular 9-5 desk job.
