Honestly, I do not know how to shape my eyebrows. They are getting thinner with age. I draw my eyebrows daily but I am having trouble on how to make them look natural. Some said drinking cucumber juice would improve the quality of your hair, kiwi juice promotes growth and strawberry juice is good for hair strength. Well I have not started on the juice yet. Anyway, I am glad to have stumbled upon this tip on how to have full and pretty eyebrows.

I love Umbra. I first discovered it when I was staying in Toronto. Their designs are intelligent and beautiful. I love filling my home with Umbra products. I was browsing its website just now and came across this lovely shoe rack called Imelda Shoe Rack (yes you heard the name correctly). I like the minimalist design of this rack which can neatly stack the shoes at the entryway. Besides getting the amplifiers for guitar, I also need a shoe rack like this.

Colour Changing Umbrella

While looking around for a nikon d80 battery charger, I stumbled upon this fun and unique colour changing umbrella at SaraGlove.com. When the umbrella is dry, the butterfly designs are all in white. However, as soon as the water touches the fabric, the butterflies would change into a burst of colours like yellow, pink and blue. How lovely is that? The umbrella features a push button auto open feature and fibreglass frame. So if you want to add some joy to your gloomy rainy day, get one of these umbrellas. It would surely bring smiles and laughter to all around.
