Treading Brows
Eyes are said to be the windows to one's soul, and the old adage holds more truth than it gets credit for. Eyes express a lot about a person's state of mind; sometimes saying it all when the tongue fails. And critical to the eyes, often overlooked, but vital in every sense, are the eyebrows. Just as one's hair frames the face, adding character to the overall personality, eyebrows frame the eyes and complete their story.

Under my Umbrella
I do not like it when 'raindrops keep falling on my head'. I prefer being 'under my umbrella'. I like everything about umbrellas- well, except the superstition that an open umbrella indoors brings bad luck! Aside from the sheer functionality, umbrella can be such a fantastic fashion accessory. There are so many different designs and colours to choose from.

The Art in Bathing
It is only during the last century that bathing became a private affair.
