MY RESULTS:

Find the perfect makeup look for your almond-shaped eyes:

Your celebrity inspiration: Kelly Choi

What to use: Soft shades like grays, browns and greens help open up your eyes. Check out COVERGIRL Eye Enhancers 4-Kit Shadows in Crystal Waters, $4.99. It has all the shades you need.

How to use it: Start applying shadow in a thin line at your inner corners, making the line a bit thicker as you sweep it toward your outer corners. Then trace along your top lids with eyeliner. Finish your eye look by applying at least two coats of mascara to enhance the shape of your almond eyes. Try COVERGIRL LashBlast Volume Blasting Mascara, $8.79.

What NOT to do: Use dark, vibrant shades, because they can make your eyes look smaller, not more open.

Bonus: Check out these other tips to tackle any eye issues that might bother you:
To make your eyes look larger: Try using light, shimmery shades on your lids and a highlighter under your brow bones to open up your eyes. And definitely don't skimp on the mascara. One to try: COVERGIRL Lash BlastFusion Mascara , $8.99 -- it adds volume and length to your lashes. 

-- $6.99 at Amazon. click here: CoverGirl LashBlastFusion Mascara

To make your eyes look smaller: Try using black eyeliner on your inner rims and dark, smoky eyeshadows to minimize too-large eyes. Check out COVERGIRL Smoky ShadowBlast in Onyx Smoke or Silver Sky, $8.49.

If your eyes are close-set: Use white or light-colored shadow (like COVERGIRL Eye Enhancers 1-Kit Shadows in Snow Blossom, $3.19) on the inner corners of your eyes to open up the area and skip eyeliner on the inner half of your eyes.

If your eyes are wide-set: Use eyeliner on the inner corners of your eyes and dust bronzer (like COVERGIRL TruBlend Microminerals Bronzer, $10.99) on the bridge of your nose to make your eyes appear a little closer together.

Will surely keep this jotted down in my notebook. They have many options and choices depending on your eye shape and how they appear. Pretty cool! Go ahead and check out your quiz result :)

Monday Diet Diary #1 (Celery Salad)

So I felt like doing a diet post series every Monday. So what this is, is basically where I show different types of foods that are not only healthy and suitable for diets, but drop-dead yummy! I will also be doing posts where I go to cafes such as Starbucks and jot down yummy snacks, mixing it up with different options. As well as sharing my thoughts and experience. Including the Nutrient Facts and price. So the goal of this post series, is giving you a better idea. Since diet mostly bores all of us, whereas some of us don't even want to hear the word "Diet". It's like an open window. A delicious way of thinking diet.

Today, I'm featuring one of my favorite home lunches! Tuna salad with celery and boiled eggs. It's delicious, don't let the name stop you from trying. The celery is fresh and includes the water you might be lacking or retaining in your body. Not to mention the beauty benefit celery has. By consuming a good amount of water each day, it keeps your skin clean and clear as well as hydrated. While the egg delivers a good amount of protein just like the tuna. And it's a simple dish that you can prepare in less than 15 minutes.

You can mix it up however you'd like. Don't like tuna? why not add some chicken? Below I included the ingredients and recipe to this quick and easy lunch.

Ingredients:

• Tuna (in this recipe, I use Solid white tuna)
• Fresh Celery stalks
• About 3-4 eggs
• Mayonnaise (optional) OR you can choose Salad Dressing (such as Ceaser, Parmesan, etc...) [again, optional]
• Shredded Cheese 

To make this dish you'll need: A bowl to mix your ingredients in, good-cutting knife, and a pot to boil eggs. Once you've got all your ingredients, then it's time to start cookin'.

1. Since boiling eggs takes the longest, we're going to do that first. Take about 3-4 eggs and place them in a pot with water on a stove to heat and boil for at least 10-15 minutes. (hint: when the water starts boiling, leave it boiling for at least 7-10 minutes)

2. Next take 2-3 celery stalks, wash & rinse them under warm water for about a minute. Cut both ends first. Then take a good-cutting knife, and an appropriate surface to cut on and cut the celery stalks to pieces.  Once finished, be sure to add the cut celery into your salad bowl.(Picture credit below)

3. 

 Step three is the easiest! Crack open a tuna can, drain out the oil and add the tuna to your salad bowl.

OR 

if you don't prefer tuna. You can always go with cooked chicken.

4. Time to check on those boiling eggs! Once you've let the eggs sit in boiling water for at least 10 minutes, remove the pot from the stove and leave it under cold water (sink) until the hot water dissolves. Start peeling the skin off the eggs. Take a knife, an appropriate cutting surface, and cut them to pieces. Once that's done, add them to your salad bowl.

5. Now you've got your main ingredients. Mix the ingredients together... You've got some optional toppings and choices. You can add Virgin olive oil with a pinch of salt, maybe some shredded cheese. Or you can always go with two tablespoons of salad dressing, or mayo. And Voila! You've got yourself a simple DELICIOUS salad!
