Shows like Toddlers and Tiaria&#8217;s are showing that more and more young girls are wearing makeup. And I&#8217;m seeing more and more young girls with it plastered all over their pretty faces. Which brings us to the question-How young is too young for makeup?
In my thoughts I think that anything under 12 is too young for makeup. Not only does makeup clog their young pores, but it also just looks bad. I understand if your child is a dancer or actress and needs the makeup, but for school Really A thirteen year old is not the same as a seventeen year old young adult.
Think about it-do you like going anywhere without your makeup on? If you allow a thirteen year old to wear a full face of makeup she probably won&#8217;t be comfortable without makeup on her face.

My teenage daughter was allowed to wear lip gloss from 12-14, but until then we didn&#8217;t allow her to wear makeup. And she honestly prefer&#8217;s light makeup today because of it. She&#8217;ll put a full face on for special occasions, but as an older teen she&#8217;s comfortable in her own skin.
So how young is too young for makeup?]]></description>

      <title><![CDATA[You Have Two Names]]></title>
      <link>http://www.babynamewizard.com/archives/2012/2/you-have-two-names</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Every one of us has two given names. I don't mean first name and surname, or first and middle. I mean two entire names, each one of which represents our complete identity. These two are a sound and an image, or a spoken name and a written name.
We think of these names as being one. My name is Laura, whether I type it to you in this blog or speak it to you on the phone. But in fact they are two, linked but distinct. 
Let's say your name, spoken, is "IZ--behl." That's a familiar and fashionable classic. It's usually represented by the letter string Isabel or Isabelle, but in the past decade thousands of girls have also been given the written names Isabell, Isobel, Izabel, Izabelle, Izzabelle and more.
Or let's say your name, written, is Helena. That's a timeless choice, straight out of Shakespeare. It's traditionally represented by the sound heh-LAY-n...or HEHL-in-, or heh-LEE-n.
Are those IZ--behls and Helenas all the same names, or are they all different? Surely the answer must be "both." They are the same names in one modality, and different in another.
Now imagine if both modalities were up in the air. That was the challenge in a question posed to The Name Lady last year. A grandmother was frustrated that her son and daughter-in-law were pronouncing her granddaughter's name wrong. They had named the girl Aida and pronounced it as two syllables, EYE-d. Grandma thought it should be eye-EE-d, like the opera. Some Name Lady readers felt that the real issue was that the name was spelled wrong; it should have been written Ida.read more]]></description>

      <link>http://alistbaby.net/2012/02/small-wins-big-rewards/</link>
      <description><![CDATA[At our house, we believe nothing is more important than our health. A small gesture can lead to big rewards in our health. This is why the &#8220;Small Wins, Big Rewards&#8221; sweepstakes by Glam Network and Quaker Oatmeal is so exciting! There are two &#8220;musts&#8221; in my morning routine. The first is a healthy breakfast. I love grabbing a Quaker Oatmeal in Peaches and Cream, my all-time favorite flavor. I will enjoy it with some sparkling water and an apple or some yogurt. It is a quick way to make breakfast amazing. The second &#8220;morning must&#8221; is a walk around the neighborhood.

We have been blessed with good weather this winter. I love hearing the birds chirping, and I love the smell of fresh air. With a good breakfast and some exercise, I can tackle anything that comes my way. Please join me for a Twitter Quaker Oatmeal discussion #QuakerRewards on Thursday, February 9 at 4PM PST to talk about:
Starting the day off right: What small wins can you accomplish as part of your morning routine to help start your day right?


Just by participating in a discussion, participants will automatically be entered into the Small Wins, Big Rewards Sweepstakes! At the end each discussion, one of the participants will be chosen at random to receive a $50 Amazon Gift Card, to purchase anything from your favorite Quaker Oatmeal products to exercise clothing to help you get off to a perfect start. There will be two other discussions that we will tell you more about later this month&#8212;and all participants will also be entered to win the Grand Prize: a $1000 Amazon Gift Card! So the more discussions you participate in, the better chance you have of winning the grand prize! The benefits of a warm, filling bowl of oatmeal can keep you going all morning long. Energy. Fiber. Heart Health. Quaker Oatmeal. A super grain breakfast.

      <description><![CDATA[Do you remember back in the 1980&#8242;s, when mom&#8217;s carried around &#8220;diaper bags&#8221; in pastel colors with teddy bears on them? The teddy bears were usually holding a bouquet of pastel balloons. Well, I am glad we have moved past that! Baby Bags are arguably the most essential accessory purchase for moms-to-be. We all know you carry them EVERYWHERE, so they have to be good. We love these fab four choices, all from Saks. From left to right: Armani, Burberry, Kate Spade and Gucci.

Made from two layers of our signature fabric (a custom-designed cotton blend knit), the feel and size (12 x 12) make for the perfect cuddle-worthy blankie. We also like the four safely-secured but removable and baby-friendly teethers at the corners. We do feel like we have hit the jackpot in chewable blankies!

      <description><![CDATA[
			
				
			
		

With Valentine&#8217;s Day just around the corner, and we wanted to share this adorable hair style from Cozy Freedman a salon owner, author, and hair stylist. 
What Youll Need
Wide-tooth comb
Fine-tooth comb
Hair clip
Ponytail holders
Time: 15 minutes
Step 1: Starting with damp hair (either towel-dried or misted), use a wide-tooth comb to detangle the hair. Then, using a fine-tooth comb, part the hair down the middle of the head. Clip one side up right above the ear.
Step 2: On the other side of the part, use the fine comb to gather a thin section of hair from the crown. This section should measure about 2 inches from the hairline to the top of the head.
Step 3: Divide this section into three, and begin a French Braid* starting at the crown and curving toward the temple, then toward the back of the head, like the top lobe of a heart. You will be lifting hair into the braid only from this side of the part. Leave no loose hair in front of the ear.
Step 4: When you reach the center part at the back of the head, secure the braid with a ponytail holder. If the hair is very long, end the braid about midear; the ends will hang down the back.
Step 5: Unclip the hair on the other side of the part and repeat the process. Secure with a ponytail holder.
Step 6: Join the two ends of the braids together in the back with a ponytail holder to form the bottom point of the heart.
Happy Valentine&#8217;s Day!]]></description>

Most of the times when a woman gets pregnant, the common assumption is that style will take a backseat to being comfortable for the next nine months. However, the two ideas are not mutually exclusive and many specialty retailers have shown up to meet the needs of the many expecting mothers that still want to look their best while they are pregnant. One company that is currently getting rave reviews is Belly Dance Maternity, a distribution company that believes a woman should be able to express her own unique style at all times, including when she is pregnant. Belly Dance Maternity collects only the best pieces from seasonal collections of top name international designers and and their latest fall selections have become quite popular.

One of the signature pieces available from Belly Dance Maternity that is being spotted all over the world is the Olian Stripe Open Sweater. Using a non-conventional cut and style, this sweater is open in the middle and can function as a house sweater, a light jacket, or even can deliver a formal look. Made of a combination of cotton and acrylic, the open sweater is decorated with black and white stripes on a grey background. The stripes are different sizes and the contrast created gives a slim look to any expecting mother. The major reason for the popularity of the Olian Stripe Open Sweater is found in its versatility. While it was designed for pregnant women, the truth is that most women will be able to wear it as a fashionable addition to nearly any wardrobe.

Giving the same versatility between casual and formal affairs, the Japanese Weekend Basketweave Maxi Dress is another item available from Belly Dance Maternity that is causing major waves. The dress is made primarily from rayon, with five percent spandex to allow for increased flexibility and stretching. The black and brown color combination gives a subtle elegance to the dress and it can easily be dressed up or down to fit a specific occasion. A cross design is completed with a long vertical stripe from the neckline to the bottom and a smaller tied stripe just below the breast completes a consistent them. During cooler weather, the armless structure of the dress works well with an accompanying cardigan or light jacket.

Belly Dance Maternity has become one of the top choices for women that will not be resigned to wear unfashionable clothing during their pregnancy. The attention to style and comfort has quickly made the shop a respected name in evaluating which pieces have a good design and which will be problematic for expecting women. The wide range of styles and looks available from Belly Dance Maternity make the store a must-see for any woman that has recently learned she is pregnant and would like to adequately and fashionably prepare for the next nine months. The company carries all sizes and has accessories, such as skin care products and diaper bags, that may come in handy for the woman.
