Sundari is a word in Sanskrit that means "a beautiful woman" and this toiletroes are based in the principles of Ayurveda, a holistic sciencie and philosophy of life, health and longevity that defines health as the perfect harmony between body, mind and soul. As this doctrine points, stress or disease are caused by an external and internal disharmony, a blend of excesive use of body-mind activities and an inadecuate way of feeling and thinking. They add that the influence of human touch is also important because it enriches the early development of locotomotor and the nervous system.

Make Up Collection Spring-Summer 08: Clinique

When everybody seems to come back to 80's, Clinique turns the screw and falls for 90's, introducing creamy lipsticks that remind Cosmopolitan covers of the time, as well as non ending lashes that remind the expertise of the look of Madonna.

Vendela, Daniela Pestova, Helena Cristiansen or Cindy Crawford fitted perfectly in the sophisticated role of dream girls with desirable lips, under the lens of Francesco Scavullo. Clinique uses one of the innovations of its last collections, a lipstick in gel (Butter Shine Lipstick), declined in four shades, to remark their sexyness.
With extra sexy lips, eyes seem with no make up at all, as the chosen shadows must be discreet. As Madonna always does, knowing her eyes are her strong point, eye khôl is used to potentiate lashes, which are volumed with the new mascara, Lash Power Long Wearing Formula in Black Onyx, which resists everything but it's easily removed with water.

A practical collection with double blushers and two sided eye khôls (Creme Shaper For Eyes Duo Limited Edition) and another shade for Loose Powder Blended Face, Invisible Blend.

Mums Workout Safely

In the time of isotonic drinks, a classic remedy to avoid stitches still has a place in our family, as we like to get lost far away from civilization where modern remedies are just a luxury. Take a long walk or your bycicle and just enjoy Nature without drawbacks.

So easy to prepare that it is easily forgotten, it's a recipe that mums always have in mind. Take a little bottle with 3/4 of water and add the juice of a half lemon and two spoonfulls of sugar and then remove. Sip a half an hour before you start your working out and repeat during your walk, if necessary.
