A few deliscious beauty tips....
A lot of people seemed to enjoy my "8 steps to fabulosity", so I figured I'd give a little more assistance to the fabulosity challenged. Et VOILA!
1. Clear skin is sexy skin. So wash your face at after waking up and before going to bed every day. I suggest an oil free cleanser (neutrogena, clearisil, proactic, etc.)My own special tip is to follow up by rubbing an ice cube all over your face once you'ved washed it. Aside from being totally refreshing, the cold temperature closes your pores, stopping bacteria from getting in so easily.
2. Take great care of your nails. Nails should be cleaned/filed/cut every week! I knows it's not always possible to hit up the nail salon, but you can do your OWN manicures and pedicures. Prior to cutting and filing, soak your hands (and feet) in a bowl of Listerine. It cleans them off, and helps get rid of the "yellow" look. And fingernails always look best if you cut them while they're wet, because soaked nails give you the most even cuts.
3.Wash your hair once a week. Personally, I wash mine every wednesday (or let hair-slave do it). I would DEFINITELY recommend Pantene hair products. (yup, they make it for us black people, too.) Wash it, condition it, and then towel blot it instead of drying.
4. Ashy dry skin is SO unsexy.It's unacceptable. I've found that putting lotion over your entire body after showering helps a lot. I use Olay Quench lotion, which is actually SO good that it erases the need to constantly reapply.
5. For SOFT, smooth skin, add a little baby oil to your bath. Your skin will soak it up, and you'll be smoother than Flavor Flav's pick-up lines.
6.VASELINE is miracle cream. You can put it under your eyes before going to sleep, and it will tighten the skin overnight, helping get rid of those nasty eyebags. You'll wake up looking refreshed and youthful. But my Favorite use for vaseline? (get your mind out of the gutter!) If you rub some on your lips before bed, I, Irresistable Deliscious, promise to you that they will be plump, juicy, and soft the next day. Big lips are in, bitches.
7. Drink plenty of water!!!! Sodas, (especially dark ones) are bad for the skin. Drinking water every day will turn back the clock, giving your skin, as well as the REST of your body, a healthy, vibrant glow.
And there you have it! Until next time, remember this: Don't worry if you're going through a lot of stress. It takes PRESSURE to make a diamond.

Wash your hair once a week? You call these beauty tips? Sound like the four steps to becoming fug!
If you want to try and give "tips" you have to be specific in the type of hair you have so that people know if they have the same hair type to do the following. Not everyone washes their hair once a week, that is dirty! If your hair is dry, every three days.. if your hair is oily, every day leave out the conditioner, and use Head and Shoulders work great for oily hair. You have to be specific like that!
As far as your skin products, Proactiv is one of the worst things you could ever recommend! I absolutely agree with you on the Neutrogena products as I've always recommened that myself to numerous people. But again, you have to be specific on your skin type. Different products work for different skin types!
Baby oil clogs up your pores, and putting that in your bathtub you will have it on your hands, then you perhaps you touch your hair or face. Not such a great idea, if you want to recommend body oil recommend body oils made for taking a bath. Not baby oil! Do you have kids? Have you seen what happens to the kids hair if that stuff gets in it? If one is having a problem with ashy skin, depending on how dry your skin is there are numerous good products out there. Not one product fits all skin types!
Vaseline on your lips is just freaking gross, I can imagine what a ball of grease you must be. They don't make chap stick for no reason, if you want to enhance your lips.. get lipgloss! Made just for your lips.. Sheesh woman these are the most digusting, horrible beauty tips I have ever heard in my life.
Oh and to add, water is great for you skin and can also control one's appetite. It craves my appeitite, you should also warn one from drinking too much water.. trust me there is a such thing. There is a recommended intake of water for everyone, I have been a victim of drinking too much water and got sick to where I was even throwing up water. It happens..
Anyway girl, if you want to run a blog learn how to give tips seriously .. and learn how to be specific in what you are talking about.
