Hours Map!!! What is that? Read to find out

I thought that this website is pretty cool, that it was worth my 2 cents  ... http://www.hoursmap.com/

It gives you live "time" of a business hours of operation, so you don't waste your time wondering if they're open or not.  

How I came about looking for a site like this today is due to "Good Friday."  I have no idea if the post office in my city is open or not today.  I went tothe post office main website, but they didn't mention any holiday hours and they're not open for another hour.  I also did call the office, but they didn't mention any holiday hours on their voice mail either. 

I'll just check back on this website once it it's 0900 ;)

Want that clear, fresh look on your special day.  Here is a great tip from Jessica on America Now News.

She advised to get a regular facials bout 3 to 6 months before your special day, with the last one being at least 2 weeks from the big day.

The following tips are on America Now news website:

1. Apply a light moisturizer, then a medium coverage foundation. 
2. Apply concealer where you need it, and then a shine-stopping powder.
3. Apply a peach or rose-hued blush to the apples of your cheeks for a natural flush.

Keeping eye makeup simple, first apply a primer and then a matte eye shadow from your lash line up to your crease.

Next, a pop of shimmer in the middle adds a little eye-catching gleam! Using an espresso-colored liner, line the upper lash line, then use an angled brush to blend and soften. Curl your lashes, and apply two coats of waterproof mascara, then fill in the brows.

Finally, apply a lip color two shades darker than your natural tone. Be sure to hand it over to the maid of honor for touch-ups later!

Don't forget to click on the link at the top to get full detail on how to get that clear, fresh look!  ;)
