Hellooo! I hope everyone is doing well and if you have started school already, I hope you had a great first day! :)

Today I am going to talk about something very important to us girls...eyelashes! I mean, what girl out there doesn't want thicker, longer, darker, and prettier eyelashes? I do! Some girls are just born with it, but others need a little extra help. You are probably thinking, "I've heard this one before; just curl your eyelashes and apply mascara. I know the drill." But, I am going to give you some tips on how to naturally grow them longer without using any special type of mascara that promises longer lashes or any pricey eyelash enhancing drug.

You've probably heard a proper, balanced diet is good for your hair and skin, right? And that drinking plenty of water will help you have clear skin and healthier hair? Well, the same goes for your eyelashes. If you take care of your body this way, your nails, skin, hair, and even eyelashes will be stronger and healthier. It is recommended to drink 6 to 10 glasses of water per day.

Be careful when applying make-up and removing it. Gently curl your eyelashes so you are not pulling them out. Also, carefully remove mascara; if you are picking it off, your eyelashes will be picked off with it! Be sure you have removed all the make-up on your lashes before going to sleep. And, make sure you are not using really old mascara. It is not healthy for your lashes and it could cause an infection.

Another tip for healthier lashes is to apply olive oil to them. It will work as a moisturizer and conditioner. Just dip a wand (clean without any mascara, of course) in some virgin olive oil and sweep on lashes. Be very careful and make sure everything you are using is clean/disinfected. You can apply it at night and wash it off in the morning.

Finally, you can rub your eyelids before bed for about five minutes. I'm sure you've heard that if you brush your hair every night, it gets the blood flowing which helps your hair grow longer. Same will go for a quick eyelid massage.

Hope this helps! :) see ya next Wednesday!
