Thighs the limit for Foxy Megan

MEGAN FOX had to share the limelight with a 16-foot yellow robot at the Tokyo premiere of Transformers 2 last night.

But she still made sure all eyes were on her with a beautiful Donna Karan purple dress, slashed to the thigh to reveal her perfect pins.

Thousands of Japanese fans turned out to catch a glimpse of Megan and co-stars SHIA LaBEOUF, RAMON RODRIQUEZ and JOSH DUHAMEL, who chatted and signed autographs on the red carpet.

And they gasped in amazement as a parked Camaro car on the red carpet suddenly turned into the yellow robot in a puff of smoke.

Transformed ... Megan Fox, Michael Bay, Shia LaBeouf, Ramon Rodriguez, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson and Isabel Lucas

Emma Watson Shows Off Her Grown-Up Style

If there was any question as to whether or not Emma Watson was all grown up, her photo shoot in the January issue of InStyle UK should answer it. The Harry Potter star looks glamorous in her '50s-inspired outfits, and we love that she kept it classy and covered up, unlike some other starlets. In the article, Emma talks about her projects, growing up, and her sense of style.

Emma also talks about her active social life (currently revolving around 18th birthday parties) and her upcoming role in Ballet Shoes. We love watching Emma making her transformation from cute little girl to fashionista, so hopefully she'll stick around in the spotlight even after the Harry Potter franchise finally comes to an end.

Is Harry Potter star Emma Watson turning into Keira Knightley?

The trouble with being successful and glamorous is, there is always someone younger and more ambitious coming up behind you.

So move over Keira Knightley, for Emma Watson yesterday gave her older competition a run for her money with a dramatic transformation from child star to grown-up starlet.

The 17-year-old Harry Potter actress, Emma Watson has been keen to distance herself from her schoolgirl character.

And judging by the elegant Chanel outfit and slick of siren red lipstick which replaced her school garb, the A-level student is coming of age at a rapid pace.

As she attended an exclusive dinner hosted by fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld, the immaculately-dressed Miss Watson had even perfected the hand on dropped hip which has become Miss Knightley's trademark red carpet pose.

Like Miss Watson, 22-year-old Miss Knightley began her career as a child actress, starring in Bend It Like Beckham when she was aged 17.

Both young women come from respectable, close-knit families. And both have been courted as muses by the fashion label Chanel.

Emma Watson won a reported £500,000 contract to be the face of the perfume Coco Mademoiselle and is set to play Coco Chanel in a film about her life.

But it was her younger rival - who is on the books of model agency Storm - chosen to be an ambassador for Chanel's fashion range, often appearing on the red carpet and as a cover girl in its lavish outfits.

And in a further snub to Miss Knightley, her fellow actress topped her in a magazine poll of Britain's greatest female role models earlier this year.

Yesterday was no exception to her new appeal with Miss Watson - who has been playing Hermione Granger since she was 11 - donning a black silk pleated dress and shimmering sequined jacket.

In a bid to shed her goody two shoes image, the star partied the night away with Kate Moss and Kelly Osbourne.

Kylie Minogue, Natalie Imbruglia and Sean Lennon joined the glamorous party in London's Nobu restaurant.

A fellow guest at a recent charity gala attended by Emma Watson said: 'She is incredibly self-assured and despite following the likes of Elle Macpherson, is not bothered in the slightest. She is a star and knows it.'

Emma Watson, who is the new face of the iconic brand, was also joined at the event by Charlotte Casiraghi, daughter of Princess Caroline of Monaco, actress Thandie Newton, Sophie Ellis Bextor and Natalie Imbruglia.

Models including Claudia Schiffer, Jodie and Jemma Kidd, Erin O'Connor and Agyness Deyn also attended the affair, which was thrown in honour of Lagerfeld.

Emma Watson's glamorous arrival comes just days after she unveiled her grown up new look in the pages of a glossy magazine.

In the fifties inspired shoot, she looked a world away from the most famous schoolgirl on the planet, Hermione Grainger, the heroine of the films based on JK Rowling's novels.

But the 17-year-old is already well aware of the trappings of fame.

“Recently a woman took my arm, looked at me very seriously and said, 'You're quite pretty in real life.' I didn't quite know how to take it.”

Watson, who has earned an estimated £10 million from the five Potter films, says she shuns stylists for red-carpet events.

“Getting someone else to choose things takes the fun out of it,” she said.

When not working she splits her time between her mother's house in Oxford, and her father's in London.

Emma Watson also has a busy social life.

"For the last three weekends I've been at an 18th birthday party," she said.

Watson, who is currently juggling A-levels and driving lessons, will appear on BBC1 during the Christmas season in a new TV film, Ballet Shoes.

The teenager says she related to her character, Pauline Fossil, an orphan.

"She reminds me a lot of when I was younger," she said.

"I was such a drama queen."

When she got the part she said on her website: “I could not let such an amazing project go. I loved Pauline from the start.”

Set in Thirties London, Ballet Shoes is the story of Pauline and her two sisters, who are adopted by an eccentric explorer, played by Richard Griffiths.

Emma Watson took ballet lessons and dyed her hair whiteblonde for the film, which will be screened on 28 December.

Emma Watson was voted Britain's greatest female role model in a magazine poll earlier this year, ahead of Keira Knightley and Kate Moss.

She is due to start filming the sixth Potter film, Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince on 18 December.

Hair Styles- fabulous fun fashionable

There are all kinds of different hair styles out there. From women’s buns to men’s crew cuts, hairstyles are varied and distinct. Hairstyle is all about personality and preference because there are just so many options out there. Many people choose to follow the Hollywood trends while others seem to be set in their ways with their current hair style. Here are some of the most popular hairstyles of today:

  • Long vs. Short hairstyle
  • Curly
  • Braided hair
  • Ponytail
  • Crew cut
  • Bun
  • Layered

Of course, most hairstyles are geared toward either men or women, so choosing is often within your own gender. Each gender has a multitude of choices when it comes to hairstyles, although women tend to have more of a selection with the wedding and prom hairstyles. There are also factors that come along with hairstyle choices that go beyond simple gender differential as well such as social status, fashion sense and culture.

Hairstyles are often developed and designed through hairstylists in shops, malls and outlet stores that specialize in the different colors and fashions. A style could cost anywhere between $9 (for a basic, run of the mill hair cut) and $100+ (for the more sophisticated / complicated styles).

Some timeless hairstyles that have been used throughout the generations are:

  • Afros: The hairstyle that is most popular among African-Americans has tended to be some sort of an afro that is worn for black pride and such.
  • Bun: This women’s hairstyle is pretty popular because it is so easy to assemble and put together, while still looking elegant and professional. The hairstyle consists of hair just as it sounds- in a bun!
  • Buzz cut: This hairstyle is usually reserved for men, although many women today have this type of military haircut. It consists of short hair all over the head, normally no more then ½ inch long.
  • Ponytail: This women’s style is pretty much the easiest hairstyle out there and has been used as long as people remember. All that you need to do is pull your hair to the back and secure it with a rubber band!

Hairstyles portray so much about each human being just as DNA does within the scientific measures of the body. You can learn a lot about a person just by what hairstyle they choose to express themselves with and how they approach the type of hair they wear. With a multitude of options, hairstyles can be this, that or anything in between!

Amazing Hair Days Depend on Quality Hair Products

Nothing beats a beautiful head of hair! Admit it: whether you have long, flowing locks, bold spikes, or bouncing curls, your hair is an extension of your personality. And for most of us in today’s time-crunched society, taking care of it is no easy manner.

You need not be a celebrity, nor spend hours sitting in a salon styling chair to achieve natural, beautiful hair. With the right http://www.nexxus.com hair products and advice from the experts, you can turn every day into an amazing hair day. But where do you start?

Celebrity stylist Roy Teeluck has spent the last 22 years honing his craft at some of the most prestigious salons around the globe, and he says fabulous hair is no secret. “Really, really beautiful hair is naturally feminine and beautiful", he says. “And that look starts out with a style that works with rather than against your hair’s own natural texture.”

Taking advantage of our hair’s natural properties is where many people become confused. It’s no wonder; grocery store shelves are packed with products promising quick-fix solutions to achieving dream hair. You might even have a large collection of half-used, poor performing, http://www.nexxus.com" shampoos & conditioners stashed away somewhere in your bathroom.

Unfortunately, many people choose products that are just not right for their hair at the microscopic level, deep within the hair and scalp where marvelous hair begins.

Without getting too technical, your body chemistry, more specifically your body’s pH level, is a major factor that shapes the kind of “hair day” you are going to have. Essentially everyone’s body has a distinct pH level ranging somewhere between two extremes: acid and alkaline. And as odd as it may sound, your hair takes on a positive electrical charge when it is slightly acidic.

But enough about science! The important thing to remember is that for your hair to look its best, it needs to stay positively charged. That positive charge helps create natural, beautiful hair, and that translates into more self-confidence.

Luckily, there are a variety of quality http://www.nexxus.com salon products to improve your hair’s chemistry and give your hair a positive charge. While it’s true that not any one shampoo or conditioner works for all of us, there are products that tackle a variety of common problems including treating color damaged hair or keeping hair moisturized.

Teeluck confesses that products made from botanical ingredients and polymers have the most benefit for your hair. Healthy hair relies on a balance of several key ingredients including proteins, moisture enhancers, essential fatty acids and vitamins and minerals.

Teeluck says color-treated hair can lose its vibrancy and shine between treatments. Using the correct salon products prior to and following coloring will help keep your hair it’s healthiest.

Keeping hair properly moisturized is an even more widespread problem. Many factors contribute to hair drying out – from the climate you live in, to too many hours under a blow dryer – your hair can become brittle, dry and damaged.

To keep hair moisturized, Teeluck recommends a shampoo and conditioner from Nexxus that are famous for their moisturizing properties. By improving your hair’s moisture, you are also strengthening your hair by boosting its elasticity, and that leads to fuller, healthier hair.

There is no end to the clutter of http://www.nexxus.com hair care solutions on the market today. TV shows and magazine ads bombard you with an endless parade of products promising to improve your hair’s health. Ultimately, your best bet is to trust hair care experts Teeluck and other master stylists at Nexxus. You can start by finding your personal Nexxus level, and by trying some complimentary hair product samples.

How Often Do You Find Yourself Saying: I Wish I Knew How To Get Perfect Hairstyle

I sometimes feel sorry for my hairdresser, who has to put up with me coming in and saying "give me something different," or - I want a short hairstyle for summer, etc.

He has a lot of hairstyle magazines in the waiting area, so many times he grabs one of them and starts to show me samples of what he thinks I might like.

As I sat there waiting for him to find something, I realized what a rough job he had. In fact, we were talking one day as he was trying to figure out what kind of short trendy hairstyle he could make out of my current medium hairstyle when he confessed that he did much better when people brought in pictures of hairstyles they liked.

He told me that one day a man came in and asked for a dangerous-looking hairstyle

Now, even though my hairdresser is always up-to-date on the latest hairstyles (both men's hairstyles and womens hairstyles,) he had no idea what this guys impression of dangerous was. He looked kind of worried when he told that me since he had no clue, he just gave the guy a typical men's hairstyle. He wasn't sure if the guy was satisfied or not.

I know that men's hairstyles cost around $20 (womens hairstyles tend to be a LOT more), and if you're going to pay that kind of money for something, you should get what you want ? especially if you tell the hairdresser what you want!

And that's the missing link. When you ask the hairdresser for something different, but you don't have pictures of hairstyles you like, you'll end up with the same old thing. In this case, both parties lost. The hairdresser was not happy because he didn't think he gave the customer the mens hairstyle that he wanted; the customer was not happy because he had been all excited about his new dangerous look, only to end up with the same haircut he always got.

Is there a solution to this problem. Sure! Whenever possible, always bring your hairdresser pictures of what you have in mind. I even take pictures of people on the television and bring them in. He wants a picture so bad he'll even watch a video tape of a person with my vision of a short trendy hairstyle just to get an idea of what I have in mind.

He really just needs a clue as to what you might be looking for in a new hairstyle. Medium length? Long? Shorter? I found out the hard way that he really has a different opinion of how short a short trendy haircut should be (on me) ? That's a mistake I'll never make again

Now, with all the new technology out there, there is a way to put on virtual hairstyles and see what you might look like in them before you go in for your hairstyle. I do this all the time, and it has saved me time (growing back hair), and money when I get what I want the first time.

In Depth Profile and Interview with Emma Watson

Actress Emma Watson is profiled in a new article online from the Telegraph. This lengthy piece goes into much detail about her young life, her desire to become “a proper actress,” and her new project, the upcoming film “Ballet Shoes.” She first speaks of this new role and of its differences from her role as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films, as well as her own personal connections to this new character:

‘It’s the first time I’ve been anything but Hermione,’ she says, fiddling with the cushions. ‘Pauline is headstrong, so in that way she is quite like Hermione, but she is not academic. In fact, Emma Watson actually reminds me of myself as a child, much more than Hermione does. Pauline is utterly obsessed with being an actress and I was just like that when I was younger. I dreamt of it. I practised speeches in front of mirrors. Whenever there was a part at school, I went for it. I was probably a bit of a show-off in the sense that any chance to get up and be seen, I did it.’ She sounds like a nightmare. ‘I was such a drama queen,’ she says, blushing a bit. ‘I used to wail and moan and cry, and little things were blown up into being big things. I don’t know how my parents stood it, really.’ She says she isn’t like that at all now. ‘I’ve grown up a bit,’ she says. ‘I’ve had to.’


Acting, however, is not the only avenue Miss Watson is perusing. She goes on to detail her plans to apply at Cambridge to ‘read English and philosophy,’ by saying: “I feel it’s terribly important to continue with my education, in case acting doesn’t work out for me.” The interview goes on to discuss her life as a teenager and an actress, along with life she has lead being both. The topics of seeing her family, relationships, and fashion are also mentioned in this extended look at her career. The profile concludes with Emma’s thoughts on the world shown in “Ballet Shoes,” one which she feels ‘captivates everyone it touches.’ Asked about the relevance of this story, which looks at the aftermath of war, and whether this generation will be interested, she says:
‘Yes, I still think it’s relevant,’ she says enthusiastically. ‘Everyone loves that world, don’t they? The backstage world of what actually goes on during the rehearsals of a play or the making of a film. I thought it would be so glamorous, so exciting.’ And isn’t it? Emma Watson looks at me in surprise. ‘Yes,’ she says, eyes open wide, ‘of course.’

“Ballet Shoes” will be broadcast December 26 on BBC1 at 8:30pm.

Hair Extensions in New York: flaunt the latest style

Hair is the richest ornament of women said Martin Luther, hair is everything some others say and hair is your crowning glory they all say. So ladies what’s your hairstyle, what are the latest fashion and most important are you sporting it? It’s your hairstyle that says how conscious or knowledgeable about the latest fashion besides demonstrating your choice and knowledge of fashion. Anything which is in vogue whether it is about hairstyle, dress, shoes or jewelry does not mean that one has to adopt that. The trick lies in selecting what suits you and what does not, and this is perfectly applicable for hairstyles. Hair extension is one process that you can make use for increasing the length of your hair or the volume of your hair.

Long hair is something that many women wish to have but few are fortunate enough to have this naturally. Hair extension is the perfect solution out of this for any woman. So if you really want to have long hair to go with the evening dress that you have decided to wear for your college reunion, better seek the services of hair extensions in New York from a renowned hair stylist in the city. Now New York is one of the busiest metro cities in the world, so people residing there cannot complain that there are not enough hair stylists that do hair extensions in New York. The local yellow pages are just the perfect source for you to find out about stylists who undertake hair extension in New York for clients.

Remember it is very important to find out an efficient and renowned stylist to do hair extensions for you. The hair is a very important component of your overall look and understandably you will not like to take any chances with this. Make sure that you see the stylist before undergoing the process for a consultation session. Talk to the stylist about the whole thing, whatever doubts or queries that you have in your mind must be clarified before you undergo the process. Hair extension is a complicated process, so you must make sure that the stylist has the experience and the ability to do hair extensions without any hassles. Go for natural hair extensions as opposed to artificial ones. Natural hair always looks better and make sure that the color and texture match your natural hair perfectly.

For hair extensions stylists use certain chemical glue to bond artificial hair with your natural hair. What you have to take care of is to find out if you have any allergic reaction to the chemicals that are used in the glue. If you have any kind of allergic reaction, this can turn out to be really bad for your hair, so be cautious about this. Talk to the stylist in advance and tell him or her about your condition, so that he will use other chemicals to bond the artificial hair. Go for a new hairstyle, you deserve to pamper yourself once a while and what better way to get pampered then going for hair extensions?

Peter Symcox is a professional writer, who has an extensive knowledge of hair extensions and their necessity in the fashion world. He likes to disseminate his knowledge of hair extensions to people suffering from hair loss.

Emma Watson Wants To Be A Normal Teenager

London, UK (CNS) - Life in the wizardry school isn't so magical for Emma Watson after all. The 17-year-old actress who plays Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films would just like to hang out with her friends like how a normal teenager would.

"Sometime[s] I miss the fact that I have never really been a teenager because I have been Hermione for such a long time," Emma Watson confides to the Daily Telegraph.

Emma Watson has been playing Harry's girl best friend since she was nine, beating out thousands of girls to play the coveted role. And although winning the part is like winning the lottery, the growing up with all the media and public attention has been difficult.

"When I head I'd got the part of Hermione, my mother said to me it was very important to keep the friends I'd made already. She told me that in the future it would be important to know people liked me for myself and not because of my career. Now I know exactly what she means."

Part of growing up is also dating boys and Emma Watson says she's having a hard time in that particular area. She says that her younger brother, Alexander, is the only guy she can go out with and not cause a stir as the others would be immediately branded as her boyfriend.

And her view of the press media is another thing she is unsure of. "I try not to read it, but it's hard. Who doesn't want to read about themselves? But it's always written with this tone - as if the person knows me. But they don't."

And while she is branching out as an actress, her education is also one of her top priorities. Emma Watson is applying to Cambridge University to give herself options.

"I feel it's terribly important to continue with my education, in case acting doesn't work out for me."

Megan Fox is no 'little cupcake'

Megan Fox insists she will not be any man's "little cupcake".

The Transformers sex symbol told GQ magazine if men mistake her for her sexy image she puts them firmly in their place.

She said: "Some guys who think I'm going to be this little cupcake who's going to bat my eyelids and be like a receptacle for them - I shut them down immediately."

She added: "I have this sort of promiscuous image. People assume I'm really overtly sexually aggressive and that I'm this wild child. And I'm not like that at all."

And it seems the 23-year-old isn't a big fan of actors.

She said: "Actors are either narcissistic douche bags or raging alcoholics."

Megan stars in Transformers sequel Revenge Of The Fallen, out Friday June 19.

She will also be seen playing a demonically possessed boy-eating cheerleader in Jennifer's Body, due for release in October.

She's also tipped to take over from Angelina Jolie as Lara croft in the Tomb Raider movies.

Autumn Makeup Tips, Latest Trends in Fashion, Beauty and Hairstyles.

If you want to be up-to-date on what’s coming this season, keep reading because we’ll tell you the 3 makeup tips you must know to be up on the latest in makeup and hairstyles.

1. Makeup Tips – Beauty: What’s new?
Current trends in skin come from past seasons. The goal is to have “fresh and cared-for” skin with a healthy look. How to achieve it? Follow the beauty ritual you already know:

1. Clean your face morning and night
2. Moisturize your eyes
3. Moisturize your entire face morning and night with a cream specifically for your type of skin
4. Use a mask designed for your type of skin at least once a week.
5. When needed, also use an appropriate serum.

• Something new: Advance Night Repair concentrate (approx. €83) from Estee Lauder. This is a product that people will be talking about. It just came out on the market in September and is a perfect shock treatment product. It cures the skin and you can use it each time the season changes or when your skin is stressed and saturated.

2. Makeup Tips: Makeup: What is the trend this season?
Silky skin
The trend of last season continues: healthy skin with a light foundation or with a luminous effect. Remember to correct under eye circles and redness beforehand. Blend your foundation well so it looks natural.

• Something new: try the latest from Yves Saint Laurent which includes a brush.

Seductive look
The colors of the season are chocolates and the entire range of coffee colors, from capucchino to cafe au lait. The smokey eye style. Here we give you the steps to follow to get the look:

Step By Step Smokey Eye Makeup (easily)

• Make up the interior eyelid with dark brown pencil, both upper and lower.
• Follow the same step on the upper and lower outer lid. It’s best to draw a thin line and thicken it little by little.
• Blend the pencil with a brush with brown shadow on it (or a chocolate tone that you like)
• Blend all the way to the bone, leaving no lines at all.
• Blend the lower lid with a fine brush, gently. Then apply a shiny cream on the fixed eyelid.
• Make up your lashes with intensity. Use a curler first and then two layers of black mascara.

Cheeks: Blushing is in fashion!
The trend in cheeks is to use cream or liquid blush in pale rose tones to give that healthy look.

• A good trick: apply the foundation, then (before the powder), apply the cream blush. Then use a brush lightly impregnated with translucent powder, and finally apply a little powder blush in a similar color. You’ll look great. And remember: the best idea is to blend cream and liquid blushes with a sponge or with the fingertips.

Lips: Red is in season!
But if you do, choose light eye makeup.
If you make up your lips in red tones, remember to be very careful in the corners of the mouth. Follow these 3 makeup tips:

1. Apply a neutral toned pencil around the lips and blend to erase the natural lip line (the trick is to blend well).
2. Make up the lips with a red pencil, and inside the lips as well so that when the lipstick fades, you won’t see a dark line.
3. Make up the lips with a brush in the intense red color you choose. You can apply gloss on top to give the most modern look.

3. Makeup Tips: HairStyles: The latest!
These are the three most popular hairstyles on the runways. They are all easy and comfortable!

Straight And Parted In The Middle
This is a very current and easy look if you have straight hair and like to let it fall. If you don’t have straight hair, to achieve it there is nothing like the new irons. Now there are ceramic irons that don’t damage the hair so much. Remember to always use a product to protect your hair before using a hairdryer or iron.

Neither Curley Nor Straightn
This is a trend that continues because of its ease and comfort. Here are some tips to help you achieve it:

1. Straighten the longest layer of hair, totally smooth.
2. Straighten the intermediate layer first to be able to shape it easily.
3. Put in some wide rollers, rolled upwards and not very tight, in the middle layer, or use a curling iron to give shape, gently.
4. Straighten the shortest layer but give volume by using hairspray on the upper part of the head.
5. If you have bangs, straighten them with an intermediate-sized round brush to maintain the volume. There you have it!

Bangs
Bangs are one of those touches that give personality and shape to the hair. You can wear them long at any age and very short (only for the young ones). Consult your stylist for recommendations that look best with your hair and face.

Hair Cuts: The Perfect Cut

You sometimes wonder why even if you wear the trendiest hair cut of the season, you still don't have the allure celebrities sport with that cut. The woman sitting next to you who happens to wear the same hair cut, however, looks incredibly stunning. Then you go back scanning those hairstyle magazines again looking for the right celebrity hair cut that would suit you best. Lucky if you get the perfect one this time but chances are it could still be the wrong hair cut for you. Worst, if you chose a short hair cut looking awful with it, you still have to grow it for months before you can have the next cut. Unless of course you'd prefer to go bald!

Hair cuts are meant to highlight the best angle or feature of your face. Getting the perfect hair cut, therefore, is not a matter of trial and error of trying out trendy hair cuts sported by celebrities and top models. It's just a matter of getting the right match of hair cut that would go with the shape of your face to get that perfect look.

Oval.
Any hair cuts would suit a woman with an oval-shaped face. Long or short, straight or wavy cuts, she can definitely pull it off. Choppy bobs and hair layers near the chin, cheekbones, or lips would also look best. Just avoid blunt cuts and short layers on top of your head so your face won't look unnecessarily long.

Oblong.
Go for cuts that create an illusion of width such as chin-length bobs, curls, and waves. Bangs, which can be trendy if cut long or worn side-swept, can also create more width especially if you have straight hair. Avoid extreme long or short hair cuts that would further elongate the face.

Round.
Hair cuts
that allow your hair to fall below your chin or make the top of your head appear having a little volume are best for round-faced women. Wear a hair cut that would help your face look slimmer and less bulky such as getting soft graduated layers with tapered and wispy ends. Bangs can also be flattering. Just don't go for one-length and blunt cuts, which overemphasize the roundness of your face.

Square.
Playing down the angular strong jaw should be aimed in getting a haircut if you have a square-shaped face. Hair cuts that create texture such as choppy ends and curls would do brilliant effects for women with square-shaped faces. Avoid chin-length cuts, one-length bobs, and bluntly-cut bangs that make your face look more squarish.

Heart.
Get a hair cut that would divert one's attention away from that pointy chin such as highlighting the eyes or cheekbones instead. Side-swept bangs would do the works as well as a hair falling at or below the jawline. If you want to have a short hair cut, keep soft and long top layers, and go for wavy layers grazing the cheekbones if you want to sport a long hair cut. Avoid harsh choppy layers and bluntly-cut bangs.

So next time you browse those hairstyle magazines check if the celebrity or model has the same face shape as yours. A hair cut, after all, is meant for that pretty face.

Medium Hairstyle

The medium haircut is usually considered to be that one that sits on or just above the shoulder. This haircut is one of the most common today, popular among teens, young women and even middle aged women. The medium length hair is one that has the widest range of hairstyles to choose from to compliment any face, any age and any occasion. The medium hairstyle has in fact been touted as the only hairstyle that is both professional and chic.

The layered hairstyle is a favorite among women with medium haircuts, and is in fact one of the most popular hairstyles of both the professional woman and the housewife. The layered look is easy to style and easy to maintain. For the office, the medium layered hair can be combed down or flipped in to create a look that is professional but soft. The medium layered hair can also be easily clipped up or held back in a clean ponytail while in the office and simply shaken loose on the way to a lunch date. It can be flipped out to go to a party or pinned up to go to a wedding. The layered look is indeed one of the most versatile medium hairstyles available to a woman.

Another trendy medium hairstyle is the razor edged cut hairstyle. This medium hairstyle is similar to that of the layered hairstyle, particularly the flipped out look of the medium layered hairstyle, but has the advantage of being versatile enough that the entire length of the hair remains one length. The razor edged cut is also a funkier look than the straightforward layered haircut, and it does allow a bit more variation in its styling because it maintains the length of the hair throughout the body (no layers). The razor edged hair can be styled in a side path or a center path, but regardless of how you choose to wear this haircut, you need to carefully comb your hair outwards to maintain that razor edged look.

The medium length hair can also be creatively bob-styled while still maintaining the length of the hair. It incorporates both the layered and razor edged styles to create a uniquely different look that is also convenient to maintain and flattering enough for any occasion. This is a look that is favored by the less conventional younger woman. It is however not ideal for the professional look since it cannot all be swept up in a clean ponytail or bun (the acceptable hairstyle for the professional look).

Another versatility of the medium length hair is that is could be easily pulled up into a number of very fashionable and trendy styles ideal for the wedding event or any other special occasion event - regardless of if your hair is naturally straight, wavy or curly. Soft curls and side bangs soften a severe hairstyle regardless of the occasion (not recommended for the professional woman though).

Top 7 Tips To Treat Eye Conditions Using Vision Therapy

By: Raymond Lee Geok Seng

Unfortunately, few people have ever heard of vision therapy. It is the best kept secret in eye care. The few people who know anything about it think it is the Bates Method. But Bates is outdated. This method only focus on the eye muscles. Today, we know, in addition, vision therapy works by retraining the way the brain processes visual imagery. It is more like visual biofeedback than vision callisthenics. Using today's methods, we get better, more permanent results than Bates did. Today's vision therapy helps treat many vision-impairing eye conditions. Here are some of the tips you can consider to treat your eye conditions.

1. Traumatic Brain Injury

Some people who sustain head injuries in auto or other accidents largely recover, except that they experience blurred or double vision. They are often told they have to live with it, but vision therapy can often help them see better.

2. Athletic Performance

Keep your eye on the ball is standard advice in baseball, basketball, tennis, volleyball and many other sports. The problem is that sometimes even world-class athletes can't do it well enough to remain competitive. With the help of vision therapy, they can. In a study, vision therapy was conducted on a group of professional tennis players. Lights were flashed at them and time how long it takes them to respond. At first it may take them one-tenth a second. But after a while, they start responding in one one-hundredth of a second, ten times faster. The difference between a tenth and a hundredth of a second may not sound like much, but when you are playing a professional tennis, it is the difference between seeing the ball leave your opponent's racquet and not seeing it until it is already on your side of the court.

3. Balance

Good vision is critical for good balance because vision, our dominant sense, provides the brain with a great deal of information about the body's position. A group of 20 male and female students were tested on their balance and then trained them in Eyerobics, a visual-skills training program that uses vision therapy exercises to improve depth perception, peripheral vision, reaction time and spatial judgement. After Eyerobics training, the researchers retested the participant's balance and found significant improvement.

4. Crossed Eyes, Lazy Eyes And Binocular Disorder

In addition to causing cosmetic problems ' the eyes look funny' these disorders interfere with reading and close-focus work and may lead to blindness of the weaker eye. They are also surprisingly common. According to a report in the Journal of the American Optometric Association, about 5 percent of schoolchildren have strabismic eyes, and up to 8 percent have some degree of amblyopia. Each year in United States, the National Society to Prevent Blindness estimates 127,000 new diagnoses of amblyopia. Six months of vision therapy produces substantial, long-lasting improvements of these conditions in about 75 percent of cases.

5. Learning Disabilities

Many children diagnosed with learning disabilities or dyslexia does not really have them. They often have learning-related vision problems, and vision therapy can help them – if they are diagnosed and treated by a behavioural optometrist. Unfortunately, many are not. In a study, with three children, two age eight and one ten, who had severe problems with reading. One had been diagnosed as dyslexic. After two months of vision therapy, the children’s reading abilities improved dramatically

6. Focusing Problems

Normal eyes hold objects in focus and automatically refocus when they shift from one object to another that is closer or farther away. People with focusing problems cannot do this, and their constant struggle to keep their eyes focused leads to chronic eyes stress that often causes headaches, fatigue, double or blurry vision and a burning sensation in the eyes. In a study, 96 people with focusing problems were treated with vision therapy. Fifty-three percent were cured. Symptoms were significantly reduced, though not eliminated, in 43 percent. Only 4 percent showed no benefit.

7. Jerking Eye

This condition interferes with smooth eye movement, causing the eyes to jerk from point to point. It impairs reading ability and anything else that requires fluid eye movements. Vision therapy usually can cure ocular-motor problems.

Information on Eye Health and Eye Disease Treatment

By: Cynthia Jones

Without eyesight we are deprived of the ability to perform many activities. Reading and driving is impossible while functioning in general becomes much more difficult. To maintain the health of your eyes you need to understand a bit about how they function. Eye care lab dot com provides information on eyes, eye diseases, and treatments for eye disease.

Eyes are an amazing structure

The eye can be compared to a working camera complete with shutter, lenses and focusing mechanisms. The pupil controls the amount of light that is let into the retina. The pupil has the ability to open and close like a shutter. The light that is let in sends and upside down image to the retina, which is reinterpreted by the brain as right side up. In essence the retina can be compared to film upon which an image is registered.

Anatomically the structure of the eye is very complex. Some of the components of the eye hold fluids such as tears and blood, which help nourish and lubricate the eye tissues. The muscles of the eye help the iris and pupil to move and focus. The eyelids and the epithelium of the cornea help protect the eye from injury. There are also sensors in the eye that send information to the brain to indicate sensations like pain.

Eye problems

The best cure for blindness is prevention. Part of a healthy eye care regime is to make regular visits to the eye doctor to have your eyes checked for common problems. Regular eye exams can help determine if your vision needs correcting or reveal the cause of any vision problems. With early detection many eye diseases, including age related vision problems can be treated and prevented.

It is quite common for people to suffer from refractive errors of the eyes. These are simply known as farsightedness or nearsightedness. Farsighted people can’t see up close and nearsighted individuals can’t see far away.

The arson that a shortsighted person can’t see objects far away is because the lens in the eye focuses only on the sharpest image in front of the retina instead of it. This vision problem is easily corrected by placing a concave lens in front the eye. Conversely if a person is long sighted they can’t see objects up close. This is because the lens of the eyes can only focus on the sharpest image behind the retina instead on it. This is corrected by placing a convex lens in front of the eye.

Farsightedness or nearsightedness is common but there are also much more complex refractive disorders such as astigmatism. The eyes can also be afflicted by disorders such as conjunctivitis (pink eye), blepharitis, allergies diabetic retinopathy and other conditions. Cataracts and glaucoma are prevalent all over the world.

Treatment of eye problems

It is crucial that these types of diseases and visual errors be treated. In this eye care resource you will find the information you need to take better care of your eyes including articles on contact lenses, intraocular lenses, laser surgery, corneal reshaping, intraocular lenses and orthokeratology This website includes a detailed section on laser-assisted vision correcting procedures that involve the use of the newer more sophisticated excimer lasers. These include procedures such as keratoplasty, photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), lasek eye surgery and lasik eye surgery.

It is hoped that this information will help you to better take care of your eyes so you can keep your eyesight to the end of your life.

Cynthia Jones is doing research on Eye Care Treatments for quite some time. She has written a number of articles on Eye Care Information, and has shared her findings through TV talks.

A Swift Revolution

THE story of teen music sensation Taylor Swift's rise to stardom is well worth documenting, writes Subhadran Devan.

Young Nashville songwriter Taylor Swift held the No 1 spot on to the US Billboard Country Album Chart for 17 weeks with her second album, Fearless.

According to a New York Times report, only five other solo female artistes have had albums with 11 or more weeks at the top spot in the five-decade history of Billboard's chart: Alanis Morissette, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Carole King and Judy Garland.

Grammy-nominated Swift's Fearless is all about teenage love and heartbreak. The unique ingredient is that the 20-year-old singer- songwriter keeps the real names intact in the lyrics.

Swift, whose maternal grandmother was an opera singer, is not just country. She has crossed over to pop and hosted the MTV Video Music Awards preshow last year.

And she didn't do this overnight. When tweens are still being tweens, the artiste best known for Teardrops On My Guitar, Tim McGraw and now Love Story, stated in a Universal Music release that she became obsessed with music when "I was six".

"I brought my first LeAnn Rimes album and I was hooked. Aged 10 was when I realised that I didn't have to be what my Dad was. I'd just assumed that because he was a stockbroker, then that's what I would do."

When she was 11, Swift begged her parents to take her to Nashville because she'd seen a TV special on Shania Twain and Faith Hill which said that they made it in the music industry because they went to Nashville.

"I was the most obnoxious kid for about a year, begging every day. So, finally my mum took my brother and I to Nashville for spring break. I walked into all the record labels with my demo CD with me singing karaoke songs, and said, "Hey, I'm Taylor, I'm 11, I want a record deal. Call me.'

"She realised that there were thousands of people just like her.

"That's when I discovered songwriting and playing the guitar."

Before she started high school she was already been singing at coffee shops and minor league baseball games.

She hit the teen music scene with her first single, Tim McGraw while her third single, Teardrops On My Guitar, on her first album, became a crossover hit, peaking at No. 13 on the US Billboard Hot 100 last year.

The country music breakthrough artiste has a New Age marketing strategy. Once the songs are finished Swift used the online social networks - MySpace, Facebook, Twitter - to stay connected with her fans. She also blogs and posts her own videos of her travels online.

Taylor Swift told Universal Music (which distributes her albums) that there were times where she had to work a bit harder to gain respect when she started out because she was only 14.

"I was the youngest person ever signed to a writer's deal.

"I took it very seriously. Every single day at school, I would be studying but thinking about 10 to 15 different ideas to bring to my writing sessions that day. I was really intense about it."

Nashville, says Swift, is focused on the songwriters. "There's New York, then L.A, and then Nashville. About 80 per cent of the artistes depend on those songwriters for their material, for their hit songs. It's so important to this town to have great songwriters."

She snagged a record deal by doing a showcase, "just me and my guitar", for all the record labels at a legendary songwriter's place in Nashville called the Bluebird Cafe.

Afterwards, she was contacted by some major labels but she soon found out they weren't keen on her writing the whole record.

One guy, Scott Borchetta, told her he didn't have a record label then but she became one of his first artistes to be signed on.

Swift, who often plays a Swarovski crystal-encrusted guitar, says she writes her music late at night, and always keeps a pen and notepad by the bed. "I've done this before where I say, `Oh, I'll remember it tomorrow, I'm really comfortable and I don't wanna get out of bed!' But then I always forget it the next morning."

Swift says she looks up to the Dixie Chicks because they play their own instruments, and Shania Twain because she wasn't afraid to "run around on stage, break a sweat and get the crowd going crazy".

"I can listen to a CD as much as I like at home, but watching a performance is not really about hearing the song as much as it's about seeing how it can be interpreted live into a different light, and seeing how that artist can paint a new picture for me to think of when I hear that song."

Swift's unique performance style includes wearing lots of bracelets that she would later toss out to fans.

She says as a songwriter, her favourite is always the last one she wrote. The single, Love Story, is "kind of based on Romeo & Juliet" with a modern twist. "It's got a really cool ending, a happy ending rather than a sad ending. I'm really proud of it."

Swift loves all the travelling fame has brought her. "Travelling is one of my favourite things to do. I live on a tour bus now, it's crazy, and so that's really interesting." You can visit Swift's own Youtube channel to check out her online blog of her life on the bus.

Taylor Swift is almost the only young one today making waves on the Billboard charts. She is also becoming a brand in the US with her own line of Taylor Swift dolls and is the face of l.e.i. clothing brand, carried exclusively at Wal-Mart.

The blonde teen has made cameo appearances in the Hannah Montana film and the Jonas Brothers 3D concert offering. "My favourite show ever is Grey's Anatomy. I will never stop loving it, ever. If I was offered a guest spot on that, my life would be complete."

Lady GaGa’s debut album The Fame

This is stylish, ambitious and glamorous! 'Love Game', 'Paparazzi', 'I Like It Rough' and future single 'Poker Face' are every bit as effective as 'Just Dance' Some have said she owes Grace Jones, Gwen Stefani and Christina Aguilera a thank you note but so far she’s a resounding success. It is as glittery, bright and pretentious as its subject, but packing enough pop heat to guarantee Lady GaGa hit after hit!

Conditions of the Human Eye

By: Sam McKenzy

Taking care of your eyes is very important because if you don't then once of the most important senses of the human body can be compromised. However having less than perfect vision is not always because of your eyes being damaged but is part of the growth process of the human body.

Before we begin we should probably clear up the misunderstandings and myths that have been implanted into our minds since children. You know when you were playing video games, watching the television on Saturday mornings, or from using your computer for hours at a time and your parents go in and start nagging at you? The most common argument they bring up is that it will ruin your eyes. That is a complete lie that they have been telling you since childhood and if you have children of your own, you should either stop or not tell them that.

Another myth is that reading books at night or watching the television at night can also ruin your eyes. This is also not true and has yet to be scientifically proven. However because of your eyes not getting enough light it may strain your eyes but in no way will it ruin your vision.
So what exactly is the reason for the less than 20/20 vision? Most likely is the shape of your eye. For people who have a natural 20/20 vision, their eyes are perfectly shaped like a ball. People who have less than perfect eyes are because their eyes aren't shaped round but more oval like.

Nearsightedness is what most teenagers have who need to wear contacts or glasses. Nearsightedness is when your eyes can not properly focus on objects that are far away which can be a big problem as it conflicts with some activities such as enjoying a movie at the theaters or even to everyday actions such as driving. What causes nearsightedness is when their eyes are a little longer than usual. Because of the extra length it causes the light to hit the retina indirectly that it blurs the person's vision.

The opposite of nearsightedness is farsightedness. And as it's opposite instead of the eye being longer it is shorter than normal. Because of this reduced distance the light coming into your eye doesn't hit the retina in your eye but instead hits behind it and therefore causes the blurring vision experienced by people with farsightedness. However many newborn children are born with nearsightedness and can't even recognize their parents visual features but with time most of them outgrow the condition.

Another vision condition is known as astigmatism and that is when your cornea isn't perfectly round. For people with this condition they can't see perfectly without the assistance of contacts or glasses.

Though glasses and contacts are a solution many people feel that it is inadequate and go under the table to correct their vision. Once a person has their eyes fully grown which is some time after they are 18 years old they can choose to have surgery on their eyes to make a much more permanent fix.

What to Do Before Submitting To Article Directories

To all writers and non-writers out there, now is the time to start digging up those creative writing skills back.

With modern communication technology comes the popularity of information-based marketing, which is one of the oldest and most effective techniques in getting targeted prospects to sites and converting them into buyers. This is why article writing, submissions and publications are also getting popular.

There are already many tools that people can use to make the process of distributing their articles more easily. Though this is invaluable in getting the contents more exposure, which is only half of the story.

Let us take a look first at the common mistakes that some people make before submitting their contents to article directories:

1. Confusing the reason to promote the articles with the reason to write them.

In article writing, there are three key benefits why you are promoting them; branding, lead generation and promotion, which are all part of your optimization efforts.

But there is only one reason why you write an article, and that is to inform your audience. If the article is not focused on this primary and most important purpose, it will fail to achieve the three promotion benefits because no one will be interested in reading them.

You need to figure out first how to get people to read what is in your article, then make them click on your resource box. You can achieve this by producing better contents.

2. Failing to maximize the promotional opportunities of article marketing.

You may know already that your articles can help you generate additional links back to your site. But do you know that you can get more visitors and better search engine results from that same articles?

Mention keywords at strategic places. Just be sure not to overdo them. Some are even using anchor texts which is also an effective method. But it is important to know that majority of the directories are not able to support this.

Remember that is not only about the links back to your site. Part of doing well in your article marketing is getting picked up by publishers with a large number of audiences and gaining the ability of leveraging other brands because of the quality of your work. Better search engine results also are great benefits.

But these things do not put much money in your pocket. There are other factors that can turn your article marketing efforts into an opportunity that can boost your earnings. Not just increase the number of visitors to your site.

Start out with a plan and see to it that your article will serve the function that you intended it to have.

3. Publishing content that does not help your readers.

Maybe in the process of writing articles, you are thinking that all that is you wanted is links back to your site. And any visitors it can generate are fine.

Guess what? Not all article banks and directories are going to accept your content automatically. Oftentimes, they have some guidelines and specifications on the articles that they are accepting.

You can double the number of sites you can submit to by writing articles that the directories want to share with other people. All it takes is one publisher with a hundred thousand readers to increase your potential audience overnight.

Write the articles that publishers want in their publications if you want your article marketing to work the most effective way for you. This also means you have to obey the standard guidelines, spell checks, researching on a good topic and even hiring a writer to produce a good content on your behalf.

In the end, it is all really a matter of choice on your part. You can start getting a little exposure from increased links back but on a very basic level. Or enjoy massive exposure from a little extra time making quality contents.

It will be your choice. You may not be aware of the fact that an article submitted on directories is not meant to have the same level of exposure as highly-targeted content ones geared on a narrow group of people.

Learn the difference between these two and it will surely help you know what kinds of articles to write and to submit.
