Time to chuck those liquid liners.
Everyone wears eyeliner; if you don’t, time to do so. Liquid and pencil liners are the de facto choices only because we are creatures of habit and it’s what was available when we started wearing make-up. We want you to stop right there and consider the many and better options that are available in the market these days, than messy liquid liners and pokey pencil liners.

Why exercising does not equate to weight loss.
A provoking statement to all of us who think exercising like a gym rat will help us lose weight.
Time.com challenges the belief that exercising leads to weight loss. The article explains that when we exercise rigorously and push ourselves to the limit with a high impact cardio workout, we get hungry and have to compensate for our hard work by rewarding ourselves by eating more than usual after a workout.
