Bad Beauty Habits: We Resolve to Break Them…At Least Try

Sexy crooner Maxwell sang about "Bad Habits," and we all have them. As the beauty veteran at Blinging Beauty, I know I need to practice what I preach. But I don't. Not all the time at least. Unfortunately for me, I have this "all or nothing" issue—either I'm going like gangbusters, or I'm totally DONE! So I'm all over doing the right thing with my hair/skin/body, or I'm just a flat out #loser. I'm trying to learn moderation in all things, and at the ripe old age of 54, to stay on top of my beauty habits. So, I forced asked my Bling Team members to share one bad beauty habit—or maybe that should be non-beauty habit— that they are going to try to squelch this year. Since I am at the helm of this ship, I figure it's only fair that I'm the first to divulge my bad habits. While I only asked them to talk about one, I'm going to spill the beans—I'm sharing my top 10 non-beauty habits. Drum roll please…. 10. Sleeping in makeup. 9. Not sleeping enough. 8. Going to bed with my hair wet (looks really bad when I wake up). 7. Using that tacky razor thing on my eyebrows between visits — I'm already doing better with this one, but I'm starting to resemble Brooke Shields. 6. Not drinking enough water. 5. Picking and tweezing my whiskers (I'm 54, it's a reality). 4. Frowning—it's a family thing, but I noticed I'm getting a permanent furrow in the middle of my otherwise line-less forehead. Booooooo! 3. Applying mascara and driving. This is more of a safety issue… even though I can do it without looking in the rearview mirror. 2. Drinking coffee all day. It's dehydrating, I know, but I really love it. And the biggest, nastiest, grossest habit I have… 1. Picking my cuticles. It's really bad. Every time I get my manicure, Tanya (my regular manicurist) says to me, "Tracey, you stress me out. Why you bite your cuticles?" Well, that answer is simple, I stress myself out. That's why. So with that being said, I'm cutting out stress from my life. Cut the stress, gain beauty, get ungnarly cuticles. Now, to heal my cuticles, I have a couple products that I am using that are wonderful. 1. Clarins Hand and Nail Treatment Cream $30 Professional, emollient-rich treatment — with soothing Sesame Oil and fortifying Japanese Mulberry — forms an invisible protective "glove" that shields hands from the elements, minimizing signs of aging. Softens and comforts dry, chapped, irritated skin. Helps strengthen nails and condition cuticles for youthful-looking hands, naturally. 2. Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream $6 Give your cuticles some TLC. Specially formulated, this buttery cream taps Sweet Almond Oil and Cocoa Seed Butter to moisturize and soften your cuticles while Vitamin E and Sunflower Oil nourish brittle nails. Feel pampered and polished from tips to toes. • Moisturizes and softens cuticles with Sweet Almond Oil and Cocoa Seed Butter • Nourishes brittle nails with Vitamin E and Sunflower Oil • Fresh Lemon scent Break that ugly cuticle picking habit!

Bad Beauty Habits: Chelsea Will Stop Sleeping in Her Makeup

I need to stop sleeping with make up on now! (Editor's note–story was written before the first of the year) January 1, 2012 cannot wait. My plan to kick this awful habit is to make it easier to take my make up off at night. Sometimes, as conceited as this is going to sound, I really love the way my eye makeup looks and I just don’t want to take it off. Other times, I am just too tired or simply have forgotten and am too lazy to get out of bed and wash my face. To combat this lazy habit I plan to do the following: 1) Wear less makeup in 2012 2) Keep makeup remover/facial cleansing clothes on my nightstand. I am going to use Organic Wear Facial Makeup Remover Towelettes. About Physician's Formula Organic Facial Makeup Remover Towelettes: Eco-Aroma Therapy™ 100% of the Total Ingredients are from Natural Origin Naturally Gentle & Pure 100% Naturally soft towelettes gently remove traces of makeup and impurities leavening skin soft and supple. Ultra gentle formula conditions and helps soften skin. Infused with Organic Aloe Vera Extract to condition skin. Formulated with Eco-Aroma Therapy™ to Condition & Soothe OrganiSoy®: Moisturizes and helps nourish skin. Eco-Olive®: Natural antioxidant helps shield skin from harsh environmental aggressors. Organic Orange Water: Helps nourish and restore delicate skin's moisture balance. Organic Lavender Essential Oils: Sweet, natural scent for a calming effect. I am hoping that this plan of action will curb my bad habit. I’m sure my skin and pillow cases will thank me for it! Try these wipes, you will like 'em! Perfect for lazy girls!
