Tyra Bank's Get-Real Beauty Secrets

When she was supermodel-skinny, she was curvier than most other models. But she's always loved my curves. Her biggest beauty secrets are being healthy and loving herself. Here are a few more:

Best beauty basic At night she uses Vaseline everywhere: under her eyes, and on her laugh lines, lips and elbows. she swears by the stuff!

Best instant makeover Well-groomed eyebrows really open up the face. When shaping her brows, don’t overtweeze them, but go for a natural, fuller arch.

Best soft-skin tip she is the lotion queen. In the morning and at night, she uses Aveda Botanical Kinetics Hydrating Lotion on her entire body. It keeps her skin soft and smooth.

Best eyeopener White or beige eyeliner awakens tired eyes. The light colour really makes me look like she got a full night’s sleep when she got only a few hours.

Best skin smoother Exfoliate her dead skin cells one or two times a week. She loves to take time for a bath, and exfoliating during this time is perfect. She uses a lavender salt scrub. It really relaxes her after a long hard day at work.

Best way to add dimension to your face Blush and bronzer. But be sure to use them sparingly to highlight, not hide, her features.

A few of her favourites
• Creme of Nature shampoo
• Nexxus Humectress conditioner
• Sassybax body slimmers
• Joe’s Jeans
• Sexy strappy heels from Sergio Rossi, Stuart Weitzman and Giuseppe Zanotti

How to Look Good in Family Photos

''Knowing how to take a fabulous photo will be the difference between great memories and memories where you wish you were cropped out of the frame,'' says image consultant and author Clare Maxfield. Put her tips into action now.

For the face:

• Stick your tongue to the roof of your mouth as you smile. It reduces the double-chin effect.

• Keep your chin down for a flattering line. And tilt your head slightly for a more friendly/flirtatious look.

• Say cheese! This is not as silly as it sounds. It opens your mouth into a natural smile.

• Natural make-up is best. Rich, shiny lip-gloss can make lips appear too large, so use sparingly.

• Have the photographer stand above you so your chin is naturally facing down and your eyes widen.

For the body:

• Hold your elbows out from your body. Think chicken wings, only avoid the squawk!

• Give your body a slight twist. Turn your feet away from the camera and bring your body around from your waist for a slimmer and shapelier look.

• Medium-tone colours are best. Very light colours can make you look larger, while dark colours can get lost in the picture.

• Don't wear too many patterns. If you are a large person, avoid even prints as they're easier to follow and will emphasise your size.

Rules of Thumb

Who doesn’t want a little advice about saving time, saving money, and avoiding unpleasantness on the bus? Here’s a selection of the 1000 highly opinionated, highly idiosyncratic guidelines in Rules of Thumb: A Life Manual – Brilliant Guestimates, Shortcuts, and a Few Shots in the Dark by Tom Parker.

- To measure water for cooking rice, rest the tip of your index finger on top of the rice and add enough water to reach the first visible joint. This works for any size pot.
- For every day you spend in the hospital, plan on one week to recuperate.
- To avoid lunatics on public buses, sit in the middle. The friendly lunatics sit as close to the driver as they can, and the unfriendly ones sit as far away as they can.
- All putts break towards the water, even on greens that appear perfectly flat. That’s because all greens are contoured for drainage.
- An extension cord should be as thick as the cord you plug into it.
- Any cop will tell you that in a bar fight, the shorter of the two men probably started it.
- If you ask a negative question, you will get a negative answer.
- For a minimum level of financial security, your net worth (the cash value of all your assets) minus all your debts should equal one year’s income.
- Keep white wine in your fridge and take it out 30 minutes before serving. Keep red wine out of the fridge and put it in 15 minutes before serving.
- If you’re playing cards in any gambling game for over 20 minutes and haven’t figured out who the patsy is, it’s you.
- As a manager, expect 80 percent of your work to be done by 20 percent of your staff. Also, expect 90 percent of your headaches/ problems to come from 10 percent of your staff.
- You are wealthy enough to give some money to worthy causes when you can buy all the groceries you need.

LIFE IS LIKE THAT 2

One afternoon my mother went shopping and returned a few hours later with ten new dresses."Ten!" Dad hollered. "What could any woman possibly want with ten new dresses?"Mum replied in a calm voice: "Ten new pairs of shoes."

LIFE IS LIKE THAT

Most of us in the driver-safety class were stumped. We simply didn't have an answer for the instructor's question. So he called on a soft-spoken man and posed the situation to him. "What's the difference between an aggressive driver and a driver suffering from road rage?""A gun," came the answer.
