Men will never understand why women have such a strong affinity to make-up. Blame it on Cleopatra, who popularized wearing lipstick. But even back to the olden times, women have used different natural means to “tint” their faces. Tribes up to this day have distinct processes to beautify themselves.

There is a beauty school in Wichita that will train women (and men) on how to apply make-up professionally. It is called enhancing other’s assets, as my friend would rather call it. He is a professional make-up artist.

I think hair is also discussed in their lessons – how to cut, color and style accordingly.

Women these days now have the option to finish their degrees even if they are working or are staying at home to raise their kids.

Water is a basic need for all of us. I know we can survive without electricity but not without water, that is a health fact. Water, in its pure form, is supposed to be clean. Unfortunately, with how pollution is these days not to mention the rusty and faulty sewerage system and pipe lines, water coming out from our faucets are not even potable to drink. It is very depressing that water that should be free for everyone now needs to be bought so that people can be assured that what they are drinking is CLEAN water – distilled water bottles, water filters, etc.

There are water filter pitchers sold at www.friendsofwater.com. The picture you see on the left has been sold on the site since July this year. The remarkable feature of this water filter pitcher is its ability to significantly reduce fluoride, they use a newer advance in water filter material that is highly effective for the full range of contaminants. This filtration system has been independently tested numerous times around the world.

It can filter out up to 150 gallons before you need to replace its filters. Water filter pitcher manufacturers estimate about 20 gallons of use per month for pitchers. This suggests a replacement filter every 6 months. But of course it depends upon how much it needs to filter from your water and how much you use it.

This is what I told my niece one day when she was lamenting how Chemistry was so hard and she didn’t see any use for it when the time comes and she needs to work.

People are becoming more aware of environmental issues nowadays. Long gone are the days when people would turn a blind eye when they see signs of warning of abuse towards the environment and would just skip brochures on how to recycle. With the effects of climate change visibly seen and felt, people are finally starting to take a stand and change their lifestyles. It is time that even businesses do the same. I even would want to take it further and urge people to support business that take an active stand towards caring for the environment too.

You got to agree with me with fashion is both an art and a science. You need to have design principles, exact measurements and basic knowledge on color combination and sewing before you can actually let your inner artist go free. Never have I heard of a clothing line that was a hit that didn’t also speak of its quality fabrics, sewing and precise sizes.

That is why while most young people claim to want to be a fashion designer or a make-up artist when they grow up, few people actually end up being one. Most people have the artistic flair for it but sadly don’t have the proper training to carry though their vision.

Now you can earn your Fashion Design Degree while doing apprentice work with your chosen designer! You can earn a Fashion Design degree online with courses that work around your schedule. Fashion Design classes then help students to gain the expertise that will help them to thrive in the real world. As of the moment, Ashworth College has an online diploma program for Fashion Retailing.

Let’s face it, having a bachelor’s degree in this day and age is not something that can guarantee a job. Even people who are currently in a job needs to study and get a master’s degree to be eligible for promotions and raises, even to keep their existing position in the company. Most employers are quite flexible though, even handing out grants to employees for scholarships and setting up time flexi schedules so employees can study.

Because of the internet, you can now manage your time easier and be able to finally get a degree or earn your master’s. Among the many options of online universities out there, Western Governor’s University is still the best bet to earn an  online degree, even with the added benefit of being able to expand your network as it has 17,000 students across the 50 states.
