What I would really like to know is: who exactly is benefiting from this? As a child, I cringed at the mere thought of DST because we got up at 6 a.m. to get ready for school. Living in rural Jamaica didn't help much with how dark it was either.
I was so happy when Jamaica abandoned DST but unfortunately have moved to a society that hasn't. So is with much regret that I have lost an hour of sleep. My trusty BlackBerry updated the time automatically and the alarm went off as it was supposed to. Unfortunately though, technically it was an hour earlier.
It is great that we will have longer days and the children will like the BlackBerry adjust their bedtime from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Children are on spring break which will hopefully help them to adjust to the time change. The rest of us just have to deal with it.
Spring Forward!
I'm a mother of two boys; an Interior Designer with a passion for all things beautiful: Interior, Architectural and Graphic. A cosmetics junkie with an obscene amount of brushes and products that only a pro would love. I'm a foodie trapped in a skinny person's body. I say what I mean and mean what I say. I'm musical: a vocalist teaching myself to play the guitar. I rant and rave. There's never a dull moment.

Contouring
The purpose of contouring your face serves to recede features or to give them depth. This is done at the hollows of the cheeks (under your cheekbone), at the side of the nose, at the chin and at the jawbone.
Please note that in contouring these areas you are placing a shadow on them.
Almost any type of product can be used to do this: powder, cream or liquid. It all depends on what you are comfortable working with.
Highlighting works in opposition, as it puts emphasis on features. Areas to highlight are the bridge of the nose , above the eyebrows, the top of your cheekbone and the Cupid's bow.
Just remember not to contour with products that contain shimmer, matte should be what you are looking for.
Also, please. do not use products with frost or shimmer on the 'tip' of your nose, unless you are trying to get a glow similar to that of Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer.
