How to Make Eyelashes Grow Faster Tips to make...
1. Brush Eyelashes
It sounds weird right? There are actually small little combs that you can use to brush your eyelashes out before you put on that mascara, but did you know that by brushing your eyelashes, you can actually make them grow a little longer? This is truly one of my favorite tips on how to make your eyelashes grow that is easy to do!
2. Use Vaseline
Instead of spending your money on something that could darken your EYES, why not try something easy and quick? Just a little swipe of vaseline on your eyelid before you go to bed will increase your lashes and will make them longer! This will take a while to see results, but trust me, it works and it’s so easy!
3. Try Lash Accelerator
Did you know that there are actually lash accelerator mascaras out there? rimmel london has a great one and it really works! While you might spend a little more on mascara, in the end, you’ll save because your lashes will grow longer and thicker. Try it and tell me how you love it! This tip on how to make your eyelashes grow is as simple as applying a coat of mascara!
4. Olive Oil
I actually swear by this tip on how to make your eyelashes grow. It really works! Just adding a bit of olive oil to your lids at night will truly help your eyelashes soak up all of the vitamins and minerals in olive oil!
5. Massage Eyelids
Eyelashes can fall out, they can even break and be brittle if we do happen to mistreat them. This means that rubbing your eyelids and actually stimulating the hair follicles can actually truly help make your eyelashes grow stronger and longer in no time at all!
6. Lengthening Mascara
Finally ladies, if you truly can’t get your eyelashes to grow, there is always lengthening mascara that you can try. Stiletto is one of my favorites, what is yours?
7. Vitamin E
Before you give up and go with just a lengthening mascara though, why not try some straight Vitamin E? Vitamin E lotion is a great way to really increase your eyelashes and really, the vitamin that will push your eyelashes to the max of growth.
8. Diet
Did you know that your diet can actually affect how your eyelashes grow too? If you have a really bad diet and are constantly eating up fatty foods, you might see that your eyelashes aren’t as long as they could be. Switch up your diet and get some fruits and veggies in there and you’ll notice a huge difference!

Ten Steps To Stronger, Healthier Nails
If you’ve noticed that your nails are dull, brittle or unsightly, you’re not alone. Our hands are an important part of our daily lives, yet we often damage them without even noticing. Here’s how to make them healthier and better-looking.
Take Preventive Action
Wear rubber gloves when you do housework. It's especially important while gardening or washing dishes. Harsh cleaners and detergents cause the natural moisture to be sucked out of your skin and nails, and that means rough skin and weaker nails.
Moisturize
Rub petroleum jelly, castor oil or cuticle oil into your cuticle and the surrounding skin every evening before you go to bed. You can also do this throughout the day, whenever your hands feel dry.
Prevent Fungal Infection
Keep your feet as dry as possible. Dry your hands for at least two minutes after doing the dishes. Dry your toes thoroughly after swimming or showering. Make sure to wear breathable socks – cotton is the best option.
Trim and File Nails Regularly
Trim your nails straight across. Use sharp manicure scissors or clippers as well as an emery board to smooth nail edges. Remove the dead skin near your cuticles, as well as any dirt beneath the nails
Stop Biting
If you have this nasty habit, control the urge! Biting your nails leaves them weak, prone to breaking, and looking scraggly. There are all kinds of tips you can use to break this habit. Try chewing gum or wearing a rubber band around your wrist to snap if you try to bite a nail.
Take Your Vitamins
Get plenty of vitamin E, which is essential for nail and skin health. Find a high-quality vitamin E supplement from a health food store. Excellent food sources of vitamin E are brussels sprouts, collard greens, papaya and kiwi.
Eat The Right Foods
The speed of your nail growth largely depends on how healthy your diet is. Almonds are very good for nails because they are full of fatty acids. Other important elements of a nail-healthy diet are vitamin B, iron and calcium. Additionally, make sure to drink plenty of water.
Keep Your Nails Polished
Nail polish protects your nails from becoming damaged. Use a base coat underneath a colored polish. If you don’t like color, try a clear coat.
Remove Polish Gently
Use a non-acetone nail polish remover than contains oils. Acetone will dry out your nails.
Give Your Nails A Sea Salt Bath
To strengthen nails, dissolve a small amount of sea salt (about half a tablespoon) into one liter of water. Soak your nails in the solution for 20 minutes. Do this once a day until you see improvement.
