French Chic Makeup
I usually do not put a lot of make up or in other words I like make up that is nice, simple and natural. I usually buy so much make up, eye shadows, blush, lipsticks etc… that I do not really use that much. I somehow believe that beauty is not in standing out colors, that say “I am here!”. So how I can wear and what to use and what not to use if I like my make up to be simple, delicate and natural? Fashion this season is fiercely feminine, and so are the new trends in makeup. For some sexy and sophisticated evening effects, check out these ideas…

Why Women Watch Women
You must have caught yourself at least once staring at another woman. Yes ladies, I am talking to you! Why do we give every new female acquaintance the eye drop, the near imperceptible once over up and down glance, when we’re being introduced. We crane our necks to watch an immaculately dressed woman climb out of a car, or buy a magazine because we like the look of the cover girl. It’s because women love to look at other women. This isn’t a sexual thing at all. I prefer to think of it as educational. When men stare at women, it’s purely and simply a question of sex—they normally want…

The Right Sunglasses for you?
So the Jackie Onassis look didn’t last very long, and some might say thank God for that! I, for one, was quite sick of the sight of women walking around looking like some obscure species of fly… To be fair though the Jackie O look did suit some, but you must not fall into the trap of being a fashion victim. We at Hanem.com seriously promote individuality. Look out for what suits you not what’s on this week’s cover of Vogue. Here are some tips to help you know what frames may suit you and compliment the shape of your face. An OVAL face looks good in almost every frame as long as…

Men choose their girlfriends and their wives. Right?
Men choose their girlfriends and their wives. Ok so the ladies have to agree as well, but at the root of any relationship lies a man’s initial choice. Right…? Wrong. Here’s why… Phylloscopus Trochilus is a very small bird which stands only a few centimetres high and is commonly known as the Willow Warbler. This lucky creature spends a leisurely life enjoying cool summers in Northern Europe and warm winters in Africa. Willow Warblers begin to arrive back in Europe for the Spring breeding season, having passed a nice long winter vacation in sunny Senegal or some such exotic place. First to arrive ‘home’ are the males followed, a few days later, by…

Too close or not too close
We’ve all heard mothers speak about the moment they hold their baby in their arms and how they are overcome with love. Guess what: They’re not just making it up. Just after birth a woman’s body produces increased amounts of a hormone called Oxitocyn, a.k.a. ‘the love hormone’ which ensures and/or strengthens that initial bond. As for the baby, there is a theory that they also have a biological predisposition to ‘attach’ to a primary caregiver (usually the mother). The primary role of this attachment is to provide the child with a sense of security in an unfamiliar world. The baby will be soothed better by the object of his…

Insomnia
You must have experienced insomnia at least once in your life. You must have known what it is like to lie awake at night, frustrated at not being able to sleep. The more frustrated you get, the less likely you are to sleep. The next day you find yourself fighting fatigue, convinced that this exhaustion will be the automatic introduction to a good night’s sleep… then it happens again. Insomnia affects all of us at one point, some far worse than others. There are three medically recorded types of insomnia: Transient insomnia lasts only a night or two, or, at most, a week. It is usually caused by some outside influence like…

Blond Highlights and Swimming Pools
We often hear from women who have blonde highlights in their hair and who enjoy swimming a lot, that every time they go to the swimming pool, their blonde highlights turn greenish. What can they do about this? If you have highlights in your hair, and especially blonde highlights, the chlorine in the swimming pool will affect the colour. With repetitive exposure to chlorine and sunshine, your blonde highlights will turn green. In order to remedy this you shouldn’t just redo your highlights again to get the original color. This will result in breakage to your hair. If you are going to have the color redone, only do the roots.…

What is it with women and shoes?
To us men, one of the many mysteries of Woman is this irritating obsession with footwear that you all share. And I don’t just mean the sheer number of shoes you seem to possess, but also the variety! Different shapes, different heights, different cuts, different colours… what’s going on? To most of us men, shoes are simply a protective clothing for the feet to get us from point A to point B, safe from splinters and bruising, and hopefully also from blisters. And as for colours, rarely would any of us be seen dead in anything but plain brown or black. (Elvis, your days are over). Shoes for the modern…

Part 6: Baby Skills
Have you ever been bored by new parents telling you for the tenth time how cute their baby is when they blink; or sort of smile or make an incomprehensible sound? Well it’s not really their fault. They have been so excited by the arrival of this baby that when it finally arrives and doesn’t react, it is no wonder that they are desperate for any sign of communication. These early months may seem rather quiet but babies are actually going through tremendous internal changes. The brain is developing and reorganising itself, and the muscles and organs continue to develop and mature. It is a very important time for the…
