3 Cross Dressing Tips to Avoid Looking Like a Dude in a Dress

When it comes to cross dressing you can either do a great job at it, or do it horribly; there's really no in between. A man cannot be made to look like a woman with half measures. He has to do a great job at it. The problem is that most guys don't do that. In fact, most crossdressers look awful, like a dude in a dress. And they're not even aware that people are sniggering behind their backs. 

To avoid going through the same ordeal, make sure you've got the following things covered:

Cross dressing tips on how to cross dress

1. Cross dressing make up is essential. You really can't neglect using it. However, there's a good way and a bad way to do this. The good way is to put on enough make up to cover what needs to be covered but not overdoing it and looking as if someone sprayed you with paint. Too much make up looks bad on a natural woman and will attract attention to your masculinity instead of hiding it.

2. Cross dressing shoes - The main thing about shoes is that they have to allow you to walk like a woman comfortably. Don't wear stilletos if you don't know how to walk straight in them. Comfort comes first and being fashionable last. You need to feel comfortable in what you wear, and shoes are the item which may give you the most trouble.

3. Another of my cross dressing tips involves one of the biggest mistakes people make when it comes to hiding their bulge. They try on clothes, make sure they fit, but they check the bulge only when they're standing straight. You have to check it when you're sitting down as well because clothes move around when you move around. Do that to avoid embarrassment.

Tips for lovely hands

Here are some few tips to keep hands clean and safe.

Taking care of hands is must and is important in our daily lives.

Here are some few tips to keep hands clean and safe

■ Always use gloves for washing clothes and utensils. Soak hands in a bowl of warm water to which 1 tsp of cornstarch has been added for 5 minutes daily after finishing the household chores.

■ Massage hands once a week with olive oil and a little table salt added to it.

■ Remove ingrained dirt from hands with a 10-minute massage of sugar and butter.



■ Glycerin, rose water and lemon juice rubbed on the hands every night during winter months keep them soft and prevent ugly cracks forming.

■ To remove stains from hands rub with a slice of lemon or a raw potato. For nicotine stains, apply lemon juice and leave for 10 minutes before washing.

■ To keep hands clean and soft, soak 250 g oatmeal in 11-12 cups water and leave overnight. Strain it through a thin muslin cloth the next morning and add 1 tsp lemon juice and 1 tsp each of olive oil, rose water, glycerin and diluted ammonia. Store in bottle and apply on hands 3-4 times daily.





■ Keep knees smooth by rubbing them occasionally with fresh limejuice or massage with a nourishing cream.

■ Soften your hands even while you do the dishes. Add a little almond oil (about a teaspoon) to dishwater. The water will soften rough skin while the oil seals the moisture.

■ Take 1/2-cup warm milk, 2 tsp sugar, 2 tsp plain yogurt and a few drops of lavender essential oil. Soak your hands/fingers in this mixture for about 5 minutes Then do a scrub, nail/cuticle care, massage and polish.

■ For rough palms, use a mixture of glycerin and limejuice in equal proportion.

treatments, lotions, scrubs, and massage blends.

Things We Do To Damage Our Skin

So, you think you lead a healthy lifestyle, eat the right stuff, exercise adequately and look after your skin. Stop and take a closer look. Are you doing things that could inadvertently damage your skin? These silent killers may be the reason your appearance is lacklustre despite your best efforts.


1. Not drinking enough water
This is perhaps the most repeated advice and the least followed. Your body needs at least two litres a day to remove toxins from your system, partly through your kidneys and partly through your skin. Lacking this, toxin build-up will affect your skin as well as your general health, making you tired and dull. Keep that bottle on your desk, and drink!

2. Picking your pimples
We do it unconsciously, when nervous, or just as a habit. Pimples don't harm your face permanently. What leaves untreatable scars is your picking, pinching and playing with them -- scars so deep that even dermatologist cannot get rid of them 100 per cent. Prevention is the best cure, so stop touching your face and start proper anti-acne treatment.

3. Shaving the wrong way
And it isn't just men I'm talking to. Women who use razors for body hair also beware -- shaving against the direction of hair growth (ie from below upwards) causes ingrown hair, damaged follicles and introduces infections into your hair roots that can cause painful recurrent boils. Shave only in the direction of hair growth -- this will prevent damage to your skin.

4. Not using sunscreen on a hill station
You've gone for a high altitude vacation and the cold weather makes you believe you don't need sun protection -- wrong! At higher altitudes, there are lesser layers of atmosphere between you and the sun to filter UV rays, so your ultra-violet exposure increases. You need your sunscreen all the more!

5. Taking hormone supplements for body building
It isn't just the men, even women who want a 'toned' look quickly take DHEA (DeHydroEpiAndroste rone) supplements. These are known to cause acne even in normal skin, and flare up existing acne. Protein supplements are fine though, and actually help your skin.

6. Not reapplying moisture / sunscreen
Are you the jet setting type who slaps on lotion in the morning and then spends the next two hours at work without a further thought about your skin? Air conditioned offices sap moisture from your skin in a couple of hours. Also, no sunscreen retains its effect beyond two hours. Apply frequently -- at least during your lunch break, after a quick face wash.

7. Waxing your upper lip / facial hair
A total nightmare for your delicate facial skin -- the trauma causes tiny microscopic bleeding into your hair follicles that, over time, heal with scarring and end up causing roughness and pigmentation that is extremely hard to treat.

8. Going on a 'proteins only' diet
Fad diets deprive your skin (and body) of essential nutrients. You need vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and various micronutrients that a single food diet cannot give you. Talk to a professional dietician before embarking on drastic diet plans and get them to prescribe the appropriate nutritional supplements.

9. Late night partying
Your body sleeps at night, but your skin doesn't -- most of its repair and renewal work is done while you're in bed. Depriving it of the nightly eight hours of rejuvenation will obviously leave it looking dull and tired. Good sleep is a must for good skin!

10. Stressing out
Stress shows up after years on your heart and blood pressure, but almost immediately on your skin. So listen to your skin when it is trying to tell you something -- patchy complexion, blemishes, dullness, itchy redness, rashes appearing at periods of high stress, acne flare-ups -- all point to unwarranted high stress levels. Try yoga, meditation, exercise, or whatever your best stress buster is.

How to put on fingernail polish and fake nails for crossdressers

How to put on fingernail polish and fake nails for crossdressers

Hello everyone, in this page I’d like to give some tips on how to make your nails pretty! Now we basically have two types of nails, your own, and fake nails. Most of us crossdressers can’t wear painted up nails all the time, or even half the time. Not unless you want your work buddy Joe at the construction site to “accidentally” shoot you with a nail gun!

Now then, I myself don’t like wearing fake nails. They are a pain to put on, an equal pain to take off, and it’s hard to get use to suddenly having an inch longer nail sticking out. The only plus is you can keep it painted however you want it for a long time, some even come pre painted or with art work.

If you really want fake ones (were talking NAILS here) here is a quick course. Go to your local cosmetics store and find ones that most match your size nails. That’s another reason fake ones are bad, most are not big enough, like a lot of other things we find out! Once you get them and some nail glue, make sure they just cover your own nails, not stick over the sides.

now, put a very thin bead of glue at the end in the center, then spread it to the sides. You don’t want the glue to ooze out onto your skin, use a very light bead. Nail glue is VERY sticky, sort of like mother-in-laws, so be careful! Grab the tip and place it on your nail, getting as close to your cuticle without going over it.

Press for a minute, then that should do it. Once dry they hang on like a Hilton to the spotlight! Trim anywhere it needs it, then paint if not already done. Now, to get them mothers off, soak your fingertips in acetone until they fall off (the nails, not your fingertips). No one has found anything strong enough for a Hilton yet.

Now, for your own nails, you can only look as good as what you have. That means taking care of them, keeping them clean, clipping hang nails and so on. How long you can grow them is a lot of times determined by what kind of job you have. If your a mechanic, farmer, landscaper or something like that, a long nail means a ripped, bloody nail, eewwwww!!

However if your an office person, hair stylist or Britney spears fluffer boy, you can wear them as long as you want. I grew mine out for a bit, but it just seems so weird to me, plus I had a lot of close calls where I almost snagged them on something. So now I keep them just over the tips of my fingertip pads.

You want to cut and file your nails so they are straight across, or with a small curve. Now for the nail polish. Get GOOD nail polish! Cheap kiddie or dollar store stuff looks,,,, cheap. Go with any name brands, cover-girl, MAC, Maybelline, anything like that, just not Sherwin-Williams!

Ok, have some paper towels ready, then shake the bottle good. You want to really mix it well. Unscrew the top, and scrap a little off the brush on the inside of the jar, you don’t want too much. Now, if you have shaky hands, well, your going to have a hard time dear. You need to be pretty steady. Start at the far end of your nail where your cuticle is and brush toward the tip.

Now here is a very good tip. Nail polish dries FAST. If you take too long and keep doing small areas the first coats will dry, making the other coats look like a sticky mess. You want to put as much as you can on at once, spread it out with long, quick strokes (sounds like a sex aid manual) then leave it alone to dry.

If you get any on your skin dip a paper towel in nail polish remover and dab it off. Make sure it’s really dry before you touch it, about 5 minutes. As for colors, you can find anything you want out there. The most common are shades of red, followed by pink. If you really want to get wild they have neon green, purple, orange, you name it.

They also have designs you can paste on your nails, like tattoos. Now, when it’s time to take it off, just soak a paper towel in nail polish remover and rub your nails until it’s all off. Make sure you get it all! I paint my toenails too, I can leave that on all the time, unless I go to the beach. So that’s Betty’s crossdresser makeup tip for this page girls! Let me know if you find something that removes a Hilton.

Vitamin's available in Fruit

Vitamins are organic food substances found only in living things, i.e. plants and animals. They are essential for our bodies to function properly, for growth, energy and for our general well-being. With very few exceptions the human body cannot manufacture or synthesize vitamins. They must be supplied in our diet or in man-made dietary supplements. Some people believe that vitamins can replace food, but that is incorrect. In fact, vitamins cannot be assimilated without also ingesting food. That is why it is best to take them with a meal. Synthetic vitamin supplements can be of varying quality, so it is a good idea to get your supplements from a reliable source.

Information :
Like vitamin C, vitamin E plays a significant role as an antioxidant, thereby protecting body tissue from the damage of oxidation. It is important in the formation of red blood cells and the use of vitamin K. Many women also use it to help minimize the appearance of wrinkles, and mothers use it to help heal minor wounds without scarring, as it is valued for its ability to soothe and heal broken or stressed skin tissue.
