Become a makeup artist
If you’re a pro at applying makeup and love trying out new looks, why not consider becoming a makeup artist? This is a fantastic career path that is perfect if you’re a makeup and beauty lover. That being said, it can be expensive to get started as makeup artistry courses can be a little on the pricey side. If, however, you’re willing to work at a beauty counter before becoming a makeup artist, this can be a good route into the industry. Lots of companies, like Clinique and Lancome, offer their staff the chance to train as makeup artists. So although it’s a longer route to the career you want, it could be worth considering.
Make and sell your own makeup
How about creating your own cosmetics line? This might sound like somewhat of a pipe dream, but it is possible, it’s just a case of coming up with a plan and thinking it through properly. If you’ve always loved the idea of creating your own cosmetics, this could be the ideal career opportunity for you. Like all startups it will, of course, take time and money to get started, but it could be a fantastic step to take. All you’ll need are some ideas, suitable cosmetic manufacturers, and a brand name for your business. You’ll then need to decide how you will sell your products – the best option is most probably online via a website and Etsy.
Start your own blog
Another option, if you’re makeup and beauty mad, could be to start a blog. The great thing about blogging is that it gives you the opportunity to test out and review various beauty products. As well as allowing you to collaborate and work with different brands. The great thing about beauty blogging is that if you work on your blog and treat it like a business, it can become one. It might take time, but there’s great potential for your site to become a fantastic income stream. You could even add an e-commerce store to it, selling your own cosmetics products to help boost your income.
Beauty and makeup doesn’t just have to be a hobby; it can be so much more than that. These are just a few ideas, but if they aren’t for you, there are plenty more you can try. Whether you opt to become a beauty blogger and freelance writer or launch your own makeup brand, it doesn’t matter. What’s important is that you find a way that works for you that you can use to make beauty more than a hobby.

To be honest, flying by helicopter anywhere is already an unforgettable experience. The sheer fact you are flying so high yet close enough to all the action to soak up the details is something amazing. All good helicopter rental companies will want you to have a five star experience with them. Therefore, they will go above and beyond to provide an unbeatable and tailored service which is great for you.There are certain things that you can do and think about before which makes your experience in the air even more memorable! This article will discuss how you can make the most of your time by giving some top recommendations. For an already memorable helicopter flight, Sydney offers sights that are simply breath-taking at any time of day. So here are some guidelines and basics to try and get you covering all bases before your trip:
Learn about the five ways that help make your helicopter experience exhilarating and exciting.
Ensure you are comfortable and relaxed throughout. This is a personal one. You want to think whether you get motion sickness on flights in general. This will really prevent you from enjoying your experience as whilst your stomach churns all you can think about is the landing point. Wishing the precious moments in your flight away is not recommended! So if this is something you normally suffer with, stocking up on the motion sickness tablets beforehand is essential. Also, have a good coping mechanism in place such as a steady, deep breathing technique. This way you can remain as calm and well as possible during flight.
Make sure you book in early! To avoid all disappointment ensure you book your helicopter ride in Sydney well in advance. There are certainly days and time of days (such as sunrise or sunset) that will be really popular. These dates and times will most likely get booked up quickly so to guarantee you get the time you want, book in early!
Think about tipping beforehand. A happy pilot makes for a brilliant flight. Okay, that quote was off-the-cuff but it’s definitely true. Sometimes, you will find that pilots pay for the fuel or maintenance out of their own pockets. So this just shows an extra bit of appreciation on your part. Who knows, the pilot may throw in a few extra minutes or an additional sight!
Choose the best route possible. Do some research beforehand and make sure you get the best route which offers the most stunning vistas. This way you won’t be disappointed. Chatting to the company beforehand and pilots plus looking at routes on their websites will give you a better idea of what’s available.
Ensure you have a good camera, or opt for a photography package with your provider! Bringing a decent camera to capture the moments and do the sights justice is essential to making your trip truly unforgettable. Having those photos you can remember for years to come will bring the day back to life. Some companies such as Sydney HeliTours offer customisable aerial photography with cinema quality HD footage to capture crystal clear shots. You will be able to look back on the memory and re-live the good times with realistic photos.
Fear is everyone. Evil happenings are all around us and people are more afraid than any point in history. Wars, and the rumors of wars, are being fought on every corner of the globe. Radical extremist groups are capturing, torturing and executing people in the name of their god. Mass shootings are terrorizing people in places once thought to be safe places.
People are paralyzed with fear to the point that it has overtaken their life. They don’t want to get on an airplane or go to the movies because they feel something bad is going to happen to them. They are suspicious of those who look like the people who are doing bad things to innocent people. They are afraid to step foot outside their home.
In 2 Timothy 1:7, we learn where about the root of that fear. It is an evil spirit that works with Satan to attack people. If fear can control someone to the point where it prevents them from doing something, Satan has won that battle. Soon, with more and more fear setting in, the less effective that person is. In this verse, we learn that spirit of fear is not from God. Instead God has given power, love and self-control; or as another version says, sound mind.
It does not have to be the evils of this world that brings fear into our life. It could be the fear of going to the doctor for regular checkups. It could be the fear of stepping out and pursuing a new career. It could be the fear of purchasing the new home of your dreams. If Satan can keep us bound up in fear, we won’t be able to move forward with our life and making the next step. We need to meditate on promises of God, instead of giving place to Satan and allowing him to control our thought process. It is time to break free from the bondage of fear and live the life that God has planned for us. We can’t take that first step forward if we are controlled by the fears. We are no longer a slave to fear, but you are a child of God.

Today is the first day of Summer. My hubby was telling me that today is the longest day of the year because of the summer solstice. In Missouri we had some cool days to begin the month, but now it is gradually getting hotter and hotter, mixed in with humid. It was 95 degrees today, with temps topping out at 100 degrees later in the week.
Even though it is hot, the flowers are beautiful and the bees are out ready to pollinate. My hubby snapped the photo above when a bee was feeling drunk in love with our crepe myrtle tree.
With all the flowers so beautifully in bloom, I decided that I wanted to add vibrant color with the dress that I bought on my birthday last month at Ross Dress for Less. In this hot weather, it is the perfect dress to keep you cool. The fabric is 100% cotton and is totally breathable. If you sweet, you won’t see it. This past weekend, hubby and I went to a graduation party and I got quite a few compliments on my new dress. In the picture below, I am in the backyard in front of the crepe myrtle tree. We had two, but only this one survived. I saw how pretty this tree was and I knew we needed to get two for our backyard. The second one never came back after we had a much colder season that normal. I wasn’t sure about this one, but look at it now. Bellissimo!

When temperatures reach near 100 degrees, I go minimal. I wear fewer pieces of jewelry. I scale down my handbag. My sandals are neutral and have an one and a half inch heel. I paired the dress with a teal shirt jacket just in case I got cold. You never really know how it’s going to be inside so better to be prepared.
Floral-print dresses are fun, elegant and just right for summer. This dress, by London Times, features hibiscus flowers with greenery to make this dress shine.

A floral dress make me smile and the colors in this dress is vibrant and bursting with joy. Don’t be scared of florals;but embrace them.
Exercise in any form is almost always beneficial for our bodies. It can improve all sorts of things, from heart health to eliminating joint pain! In the case of those who suffer from digestion issues, exercise can come to the rescue once again! It might not be the only thing you need to consider in order to improve digestion, but it’s certainly one of the most important!. Here’s what you need to do.
Exercise is the key a healthy life
Get Active So, the first thing you need to focus on is getting out there and benefiting from exercise. It doesn’t really matter what you do, as long as you have the motivation to do it! Why not go hiking up a hill, or join the local gym? Spend time with friends, play sports together and go on adventures. A regular exercise routine is important to ensure you don’t fall out of the habit. Create a schedule for yourself to manage it effectively.
Don’t Push Yourself Too Hard While it is commonly believed that exercise is fantastic for digestive issues, that isn’t the case when you push yourself too hard. In fact, an over-abundance of exercise could lead to more problems for those with digestive issues. There isn’t a whole lot of scientific evidence to back this up, but excess exercise is believed to cause stress on your colon.
Merge Relaxation Techniques With Exercise The type of exercise you choose to undertake is totally up to you. Anything is better than spending all day locked away in a house on the couch! Still, there are a few things you could do to try and ease the issue even further. If you have a feeling that stress is a factor when it comes to your digestive issues, try something like yoga. This not only keeps you active and fit, but it should help to calm your mind.
Eat The Right Foods Regular exercise is nothing without a healthy lifestyle to match. You need to be willing to eat the right foods in order to get the most out of your new lifestyle. Of course, digestive health is impacted greatly by what you eat. It’s important to talk to your doctor and do research about the types of things you should be consuming. This is crucial if you want to protect your digestive system going into the future.
Seek Advice If You Are Concerned I’m going to guess that by this point, you’ve already talked to a doctor about your issues. If you haven’t, what are you waiting for?! They’ll be able to figure out what’s wrong and try and alleviate the symptoms. You should never let something like this fester, or it could turn into something much worse over time. Get that all-important advice, and you’ll be able to manage your condition a whole lot easier.
We’ve gone a little off track here, so let’s sum this up. Exercise is an incredibly beneficial remedy for so many illnesses. Start changing your lifestyle and getting the right amount, and you should notice a difference!
