A personal grooming necessity- Anti-perspirant


Use this!!
Smells great! *Can even pose as a perfume (i am just kidding!!)
Really keep armpits dry as this is an antiperspirant.
Makes u feeling fresh all day. Think about it, it really is no excuse to smell bad even though you may look like a princess. Very very important for ladies! As for men, get the male version.

I know in the olden times, stone age men may get attracted to the raw female smell. It's the 21st century already for god's sake! You have to smell good AND look good!

Vision of success; my reminder

Successful people do not set their goals by writing them down and detailing them for finances, family life, health, learning, education and your spiritual life.
successful people are too busy doing what they need to do to get what they want.

To be successful at meeting your goals, you need to ask yourself:"what do i really want to achieve? what are my dreams and desires? what do i want to build and create?

You need to identify clearly what you want out of life, what u hunger and thirst for and what u really want to achieve.

This is how people create success.
what ever it is, once you identify and focus on it, you will find the motivation to make it happen.

Makeup tip: DO NOT!


DO NOT use VOV brand of liquid eyeliner!! It comes in a pink shiny metallic bottle that looks like this!

Because!

1)It flakes

2)Freaking hard to remove!!

I feel my poor eye lids are scraped off and RAW ---> jus like how the dead fish will feel wen the fish monger uses his butcher knife to scrape the scales off it.

POOR ME...

Even using my lip Balm doesn't help much in removing the liner painlessly.

Beauty and the X factor

Have you ever wondered why some girls look fair skinned, huge watery eyes, with dainty figures (with these features combined, they should be ideally good looking) and yet people still feel they don't look beautiful to them at all?
You wonder if something is seriously wrong with their tastes? Or actually sour grapes?

Personally I feel beauty is more than just the physical appearance. If i were a male, I will be attracted to females (yes! even though I am a female I do scrutinize females) who exudes poise and confidence with a little bit of rebelliousness in her...

It is a bonus if that female has a bit of height and if not, it's the PROPORTION that counts!

It does not matter if she is a bit flat chested.. Don't models on the runway appear so? But yet they still exude that certain aura about them? (you probably might think it's the wrong kind of image portrayed to females---with anorexia on the rise)

But what I am tryin to say is that what is most important is that the female feels comfortable and confident in her own skin that she somehow exudes that "aura" around her that makes people want to take a 2nd, or even 3rd, 4th 5th look at her...

Now! That is what I call Beauty and the X-factor...

Well.... one man's meat is another man's poison....

Who's to say I'm not PRETTY??!!!!!

Long luscious waves (Digital perm)







Beautiful curls need maintenance, and of course products are a must!
*budget and good: I recommend lucido hair wax (green cap for strong hold and pink cap for soft curls)
I created a lot of layers in her hair for her as this will create bounce and curls better. Without layers, it will resemble a "christmas tree"
- a VERY heavy bottom. Now, we've gotten rid of that, didn't we? ;)

META MORPH - change for the better















META MORPH = "CHANGE"
A CHANGE IS GOOD IF U WANT SOMETHING DIFFERENT FROM UR NORMAL ROUTINE LIFE. TO ACHIEVE DIFFERENT AND BETTER RESULTS, A CHANGE IS NECESSARY & IMPORTANT. I EMBRACE CHANGE JUST LIKE A CHAMELEON DOES, IN ORDER TO AVOID BEING DETECTED BY THEIR PREDATOR. CHANGE AND ADAPT AS FAST U CAN, IN ORDER TO SURVIVE IN THIS FAST PACED AND COMPETITIVE WORLD......

why red Colour dyes always dont last

Hilo there! Here's the explanation on why red colour dyes or highlights don't last as long, compared to the blond shades...
The reason: molecules of red dyes are bigger, compared to the blond colours. So, it is more difficult to penetrate into the hair shaft and so, most of the molecules get "coated" on the hair instead of entering the hair "pores".

In other words, the hair is not absorbing the red colour molecules properly.. and that is why every time you wash your hair, you'll notice the red dye keeps running...

Plus! the more often u wash your hair the faster the colour will fade!

Some people wash their hair 2 times ---> not recommended.
Please always use a conditioner straight after shampooing.

Generally, red colour dyes last about 14 washes on average.. Hair texture also plays an important role in locking in colour...(hair that looks and feels like "broom" texture or worse, I'm sure you all know what the verdict will be...)

So, in order to counter this problem, colour manufacturers come up with the range of INTENSIVE REDS. Molecules are made smaller to ensure better absorption by the hair but the downside of it: it is also harder to remove!

All in all its always best to check with the stylists and get a better understanding on what's best for you :)

Well.... another point to note: red tones are wonderful for many skin tones!
