1. Make eyes sparkle with holiday delight by using a heated eyelash curler. Flipping lashes up creates a fresher and brighter look.
2. Tame fly-aways by misting hairspray on hands. Run your hands through your hair to keep it under control without being stiff.
3. This season is all about lips! Keep blush and eyeshadow to a minimum with a stronger lip color. I suggest Julie Hewett's Noir Lipsticks.
4. Work from the inside out by taking your multivitamins with antioxidants. They will help fight the signs of aging.
5. A great way to keep oily skin at bay is to pull apart a two-ply tissue, apply to skin and gently press one layer on your oily spots. You will see oil disappear without the need to reapply powder.
6. For that special holiday party try and schedule in an extra 5 minutes of time off yourself.
   Apply your make-up, get dressed, do your hair and then go back for your 5-minute finesse.
   You'll love how great you look!
7. Rescue over-plucked eyebrows by filing in the bare spots with a brow pencil or powder that is one shade lighter than your hair.

The Bedroom. A place to reflect after a hard day and to dream of what tomorrow holds.
Your bedroom is your place of retreat, a sanctuary where you can escape the daily stress of your life and take a moment to surround yourself with luxurious fabrics and warm plush pillows.
If this does not sound like something you can do in your current bedroom, you maybe in need of a makeover or maybe just a sprucing up.
Don't panic, achieving that first class hotel experience in your own bedroom is easier than you might think.
Here's how to start.

Remove the Clutter

Anything that does not contribute to your relaxation or resting needs to be removed from your bedroom.
Laundry can be stored somewhere else and anything that reminds you of work or bills should be out of site.
Keep relaxation in and work out.

Start with the Walls

The walls are an excellent place to add a little color to your space and are relatively inexpensive to do.
Choose a color that calms your senses.
Typically pastels, blues, or greens are restful colors.
Researchers have found that colors of the night such as blues, indigos and violets can decrease blood pressure, pulse and respiration rates.

Add the Basics

Next, add your furniture.
Remember that open space is okay and in fact adds a feeling of serenity.
So don't be afraid to include just your favorite pieces in addition to your bed such as your grandmother's antique dresser or a favorite find of your own.

Embellish Your Space

Now that you have the basics in place and the tone is set with the colors on the walls you're ready to add some charm.
Soft Surroundings is an excellent resource for finding the perfect accessories to soften your space.
From flowing bed skirts and window draperies to soft and luxurious bedding, Soft Surroundings understands the idea of making your bedroom a retreat.
When adding texture to your bedroom remember to make it soft so it invites you to curl up and escape the day's pressures.
Lastly, treat your bedroom like any other guest-visited areas of your home.
Just because it's your private room doesn't mean that you shouldn't add finishing touches like a plant in the corner, fresh flowers to the side table, or peaceful artwork on the walls.

Accentuate Yourself

Now that you've turned your room into a five-star hotel retreat don't forget to lavish yourself with a luxurious velvet robe, and soft plush towels to dry yourself after a good soak.
Luckily Soft Surroundings has not forgotten about this either making it a convenient one-stop site for all your Bedroom Retreat Creation needs.
