Finger nails can yellow for several reasons including things like, fungus, smoking, dying hair, painting and most commonly wearing nail polish constantly, due to lack of oxygen on the nail.
A tip to lighten that yellowing is getting gauze pads and soaking them in peroxide. Then take the gauze and wrap 1 pad around each finger and leaving them on for about 15-20 minutes. This is good for the nail because of its antibacterial properties and bleaching abilities.
This will give a bleaching effect to the nail that will continue well after removing the gauze, which is more noticeable the next day. The nails can be painted over after the treatment, the treatment just provides health benefits to the nail and nail bed.
If you have major yellowing of the nails, talk to your doctor about nail fungi, and medical support for it.

It’s truly, the wrinkles you should be proud of. To have laugh lines and crow’s feet, usually means just that, you’ve done plenty of laughing. As said earlier this week it’s important for your brain to get plenty of laughs. But, your face may want a softening of these lines though.
A quick easy tip to soften fine lines is to apply Vitamin E to these lines at night before you go to bed. Break open a Vitamin E capsule with a toothpick and apply generously to the lines using the whole contents of the capsule.
Doing this every night should soften the appearance and restore the under layers of the skin with hydration. (SIDE NOTE: The younger you start using Vitamin E, the more beneficial to your skin in keeping elasticity.)

There’s a ton of mascaras out there with their claims to fame. And, yes, some really can make a difference in your life.
But, no matter which one you use, technique can help with giving you a full, big look. If you are trying to make your eyes look bigger, apply one coat of mascara to each eye. Then, go back to the middle of your lashes, and apply several coats to each eye. This will open the eye up, to a bold look.

Hi Tia, my mom says I can’t chew gum anymore, because I keep getting it in my hair, and she has to cut it out, and I cry. She says there is something to get gum out of my hair, but she doesn’t remember. What is it? Kelly, 6 and Mom
Tip from Tia:
I understand entirely. It takes a creative individual to get their own gum stuck in their own hair. I was a champ at doing that myself when I was your age. Tell your mom it’s alright; Tia can help. And, the best part is your mom can make you do this by yourself.
The best way to get gum out of hair is by using peanut butter. First, get the gum covered section by itself. Then, you want to put a good amount of peanut butter on the gum to cover it completely. You will rub it into the covered strands and the gum will start to crumble.
Oils Breakdown
The oil from the peanut butter will make the gum breakdown and lose its stick. The gum itself will start to ball up and fall out or be easily able to be pulled out. If the gum is still tacky apply more peanut butter to that area until all the gum is completely out. It may take a little while, so have patience.
Wash Up
Child playing
Once the gum is out, wash your hair. The oil from the peanut butter will also leave your hair in a beautiful, silky condition.
Remove Gum from Materials
This process can work on clothes too, except it can leave an oil stain on the material. I recommend if you are going to use peanut butter on fabrics wash out with a grease fighting soap or a dish washing foam. This should help with removing the oil from the fabric.
You can now chew gum, without the fear of the scissors or a buzz cut. After you do this yourself once or twice, lesson is usually learned; the gum will stay in the mouth or make it to the trash when you’re done with it.

Problem:Hey Tia. Sometimes in the heat of the moment my boyfriend will leave hickies on my neck. I work in an office and I don’t want to look…you know. I use make up to cover it up but, you can still see them. What can I do to cover it up?
Tip from Tia: There is noting wrong with having extravagant passion for one another. Celebrate it. But, I totally understand that you don’t want to advertise your sex life, on your neck. Well, it’s better to get rid of the hickies or passion marks as I like to call them, then just covering them up. Hickies are bruising of the skin, where it has been sucked. The capillaries have broken and rush towards the layers of skin. Now, those capillaries are trapped, and since it is not a sever injury, you can break them away from their cluster, that is giving a bruised appearance and make the blood flow natural, around the area again. (If it was an injury that cause bruising I wouldn’t recommend trying to get rid of a bruise, you could possibly just hurt yourself further)
So, an easy enough tip to remove the hickey is, grab a lipstick cap or a small bottle cap with smooth edges. Place the hollow end to the skin, and twist the cap into the bruised skin repeatedly, around the whole area. It may feel tender while doing it, but you don’t want to hurt yourself. The area will be red when you’re done.
Apply make up to cover the area, if the foundation alone isn’t covering add a little bit of cornstarch to the foundation to thicken it up and apply. The hickey should reduce in color within a few hours to a day, repeat process if necessary.
