The human heart yearns for the beautiful in all ranks of life.

If you want to look taller and slimmer, try wearing one color from head to toe. Not only does it work on everybody, but it's also trendy among fashion designers!

For most people, a shoulder-length cut makes the face appear slimmer -- avoid hair that is too long or too short. Use layers instead of straight lines to give your hair more body, and consider highlights in vertical sweeps. Of course, it's always best to ask your stylist's opinion!

There is no reason to repeat bad history.

You don't have to sign up for a special class or take up a new sport to stay in shape -- just keep moving!

If you have made mistakes, even serious ones, there is always another chance for you. What we call failure is not the falling down, but the staying down.

When picking out new foundation or concealer, test it on the inside of your wrist. This is the most unblemised area of skin, and will give you the best idea of how the makeup will look on your face.

A happy woman is one who has no cares at all; a cheerful woman is one who has cares, but doesn't let them get her down.

Is your nail polish too thick to apply well, but not thick enough to throw out? Add a very small amount of nail polish thinner to make it last.

People who fight fire with fire usually end up with ashes.

Want a manicured look, but don't have time? File your nails into a square shape, buff them, then apply a coat of clear polish. Rub cuticle oil around the edge of the nail, then moisturize your whole hand. You'll have a polished look in less than 15 minutes!
