You would think that soy is really healthy for your hair. Let's look at the over all science behind soy (and tofu) on your body.

Soy is very common protein for working out. But of all the supplemental proteins, it has the highest amount of arginine per 100 gms ([i]). Arginine is extremely anabolic. It is the main component in Creatine. Creatine has been shown to raise DHT levels and cause hair loss.

Soy isoflavones also have some goitrogenic and estrogenic activity. Because soy is goitrogenic it can affect the thyroid. Low thyroid causes hair loss especially in menopausal women. The problem is that a small amount of soy that is found in the Japanese diet, such as tofu, may have minimal affect.

But in the U.S. diet there is soy milk, soy hot dogs, and a multitude of soy meats that have replaced red meat. The amount of soy isoflavones in the diet has increased dramtically and drinking 8-12 ounces of soy milk could be having a hormonal affect on the human body that was never seen in the past. We have seen hair loss from patients taking soy milk and soy products. Using soy while taking our product will decrease the efficacy. There is some evidence that iodine deficiency increases soy antithyroid effects. Iodine deficiency is fairly common in the U.S. diet.

"Iodine deficiency greatly increases soy antithyroid effects, whereas iodine supplementation is protective. Thus, soy effects on the thyroid involve the critical relationship between iodine status and thyroid function. In rats consuming genistein-fortified diets, genistein was measured in the thyroid at levels that produced dose-dependent and significant inactivation of rat and human thyroid peroxidase (TPO) in vitro."

Soy the bottom line is, enjoy your tofu in your miso soup, but everything in moderation.

Sometimes the everyday gets mundane or boring but other times the everyday seems like a part of who you are and is something that you do not ever want to be without.  When you find your perfect everyday eyes you are not going to want to make changes or leave the house without your eye make up on ever again. 

Every woman is going to be a little different in the everyday eyes look that she wants.  When picking out your own every eyes look you must think about how you feel confident and what you want the world to see when you are walking out of your house.  For some women this is a look that is very natural and almost nude in colors, for others it is something a little more bold, and still for some it is something that is dark. 

**Look for an eyeshadow that you will love wearing day in and day out.  A color like Glamorous Chicks Cosmetics Mineral Eyeshadow in Copper Sand is going to be universally flattering on many women and will also look great on you all year long.

 **Look for eyeshadows that are really going to make your eye color pop.  Here are some color suggestions from Glamorous Chicks Cosmetics Mineral Eyeshadow that are matched to different eye colors.

In the early 2000’s it was bit taboo to wear black lipstick mainly because it was associated with the gothic culture. Today wearing Black lipstick is the in thing!  Black lipsticks have been worn by many celebrities including Lady Gaga, Rhianna, Christina Aguilera among others. Wearing black lipstick is not only fun but it is also very  chic and high fashion.  As a  staple in every high fashion runway and  in every mainstream magazine wearing black lipstick is definitely a fashion forward color.

Until recently, black lipstick was achieved by combining a black eye pencil with a black eyeshadow. As you can imagine, the result was not the best and not long-lasting. Glamorous Chicks Cosmetics has realized the need for a long wearing bold black lipstick and has created some colors to fix that problem.

Today  we have created the perfect long lasting and pigmented black lipstick called “ the blackest black. To create a black gorgeous lip, simply apply the black matte – no lip liner needed. This color is long lasting and will stay on all day – no reapplication needed.

 

We have also created a great matte black lip stain called Black Daiquiri. This color creates a gorgeous black lip with a glossy finish.  This color can be worn by itself or in combination with our “Blackest Black” matte lipstick. To add even more of a pizazz to your black lips you can also add one of our gorgeous cosmetics glitter. For both black colors we suggest that you wear it with Glamorous Chicks Cosmetics signature black glitter. With no base needed applying just a little bit of glitter directly on either color will jazz up any look.  Pair Any of our glitter colors with our black lip colors to create an amazing look!

Now  that you have received the tools to be fabulous - go an add some black lips and glitter  to your makeup routine and create something amazing!

Tip # 1 – Keep It Simple

Step 1 – Apply lotion to your skin.  Applying lotion helps everything else go on smoother and quicker.
