"Staying Beautiful"

How to Have Great Looking Skin

Great skin is something that nearly everyone can cultivate. Our skin is affected by our:. Genes. Inner nutrition - what we eat and drink. Exercise. General health and well-being. Emotional health, and.

Outer nutrition - how we take care of our skinWhile we can't alter our genes, we can improve our skin by making the necessary adjustments in the areas we can influence. Read on to discover the basic components of a healthy outer nutritional plan for your skin.If you seriously want great skin the very first thing to do and wear a hat and good quality sunscreen when out in the sunshine. Having said that, let's move on to understand the next three basic foundations to great skin.

If you want your skin to look and feel great, careful cleansing is very important. This should be done first thing in the morning and last thing at night to remove pore-clogging dirt. Don't cleanse enough and you could find yourself prone to spots. Cleanse to often and you could be stripping away essential oils and be susceptible to dry skin or even eczema.


Understanding your skin type (normal, dry or oily) and using a cleanser to match is the best foundation for great looking skin. Remember to rinse your face with warm water after using a cleanser, as any residue will continue to work on the skin if not completely removed.Our grandmother's used soap and water?isn't that good enough? Soap is not very good at removing makeup because it does not contain enough oils to dissolve the staying power that most cosmetics have today.

Remember the 'tight' feeling after your have washed your fact with soap? Soap can be very drying on your skin and may wash away essential oils. Another reason not to use soap is that it is not matched to the natural balance of our skin. Soap is generally alkaline, whilst skin is naturally acidic.The second step to great outer nutrition for your skin is to tone. Toners are designed to remove any last traces of cleanser, while also helping to tighten and refine pores and prevent the build-up of dead skin cells.

After toning your skin should fee and look revitalised and refreshed, and ready to be moisturised. Again you will need to apply a toner that matches your skin type.The third foundation step is to apply moisturiser to help restore the moisture loss caused by the drying effects of sunlight, central heating, wind, cold and pollution.

A good daytime moisturiser would contain a sunscreen and will be easily absorbed into the skin. At night you should use a richer, more nourishing cream, as this is when your skin more readily absorbs moisture.Despite the plethora of products on the market and the myriad of additives?. the most important ingredient of any moisturiser is water!

If water is just splashed on the skin it will not say there. Moisturisers are basically oil and water emulsions which contain a humectant (a substance added to another to make it moist), which attracts water and helps 'fix' it in the upper layers of the skin.

Moisture that is lost firm the skin needs to be replaced quickly so that the surface of the skin is kept both soft and smooth. The living cells in the layers need water so that they will not shrivel up and die. A moisturiser can protect the skin by providing a varier between the skin and the external environment. It also prevents the loss of moisture from the deeper layers of the skin.Should people who have oily skin use a moisturiser?

Moisturisers are particularly recommended for people with dry skin but everyone can benefit from using a moisturiser. You simply need to ensure that you choose the correct moisturiser for your skin type. People with oily skin should choose a moisturiser that hydrates their skin whilst helping absorb any excess oil.Great skin is something that nearly everyone can cultivate.

Quick Beauty Tips for everyday life

Here are a few useful tips to help women stay beautiful every day. You would be amazed how many of those will seem so simple to you but will actually make a huge difference! First of all you need to keep your face in place for longer! Buy a small pump spray bottle that you can usually find easily in the travel sections of high street stores, and fill with water. Use the pump spray to spray a fine mist over your face once you have applied your face makeup (pre-eye make up). You quickly will find that it sets your make up for the whole day making it last longer and preventing the need for continuous touch ups which is obviously a great news. The second tip is to consider having your eyelashes tinted. Having your eyelashes tinted is relatively quick and easy if you go to professional beautician (make sure they do a skin test beforehand) and is much more convenient and cheaper than using mascara every day, plus it does not run, smudge or take ten minutes to get off before bed! The next tip is a basic one. You need to keep it simple with soap!

Simply go old school and rediscover real soap. There are plenty of delicious scents, it is natural, long lasting and often seems to clean better too, so try it and you will not regret it! This one may look a bit silly but it is actually a good one that will help you make some savings here. Use the very last bit of all your products by taking pump action lids off, cutting open soft plastic tubes or using brushes to extract the last bits from cosmetics. You will really be amazed how much is left in the bottom when you would normally just throw them away! The last tip will help you fix your hair quickly. If your hair is looking a little greasy or you have not had a chance to wash it but want to freshen it up, sprinkle a little talcum powder through the roots, tip your head upside down, give it a shake and if you can, a quick blast with the hairdryer and this will give it a new lease of life. Those tips just really seem to be basic tips but you will see that they will make your everyday life different and help you stay beautiful every day.

"What Is Fame?"

What Is Beautiful? - What Is Perfection? -
What Is Fame?

I'm partly popular for my blogs, my rants, my views on life, and my ability to make people think and see more than one side of life. I want to open the eyes of a blind world...

And I'm starting today...

I keep hearing about all these blogs talking smack about me, and people saying this or that. HOW DO I REACT? - I Smile!

Why? DO I CARE? - Hell NO!

People only talk crap about other people b/c they feel badly about themselves. They look in the mirror, and they see themselves for exactly what they are. They arent fooling ANY ONE!

I look in the mirror, and I see BEAUTY, I see confidence, I see happiness, and I see success...
I've learned to walk past my haters and smile, and It took a LONG TIME to get that trait under my belt. Everyone has this fake front on 24/7 and I've trained myself to get past that.


People compliment me on my beauty, my confidence, and my ability to embrace my flaws, but that's not always how I was. and I don't want people to think I am stuck up, or conceited in any way... BECAUSE I AM NOT AT ALL.... however, I am confident... and regardless to what people think or say, IT TOOK A LONG TIME TO GET THAT WAY... and I'm not going back..
PEOPLE SAY (Haters Say!)


I CANT SING! - But I'm working on an album with producers who've worked with AMAZING and VERY TALENTED Musicians like: Lady Gaga, Robyn, Selena Gomez, Corbin Bleu. And they found ME! - I'm popular b/c I have my own sound, and I'm starting a new TREND for what is hott and popular. And my haters are jealous b/c I've got it and they DONT!

I'M UGLY, I HAVE A BIG NOSE, I HAVE A BIG FOREHEAD! - If I was ugly, I dont think I'd have agencies, photographers, makeup artists, clothing designers, hair stylists, etc. etc. all over the world, blowing up my phone and email to work with me, and I dont think I'd have 80,000 AMAZING FANS, who love me for my beauty and confidence? MY NOSE IS MY TRADEMARK, ALONG WITH MY HAIR... I think the real story is they are jealous that their nose is soo NORMAL and mine is ORIGINAL! My forehead is PERFECT, which is why I show it in my new picture.. MORE FOREHEAD, gives you room for LONGER HAIR... so na na na na boo boo...

I'M A FAGGOT, MY STYLE IS STUPID! - this one goes back to the last one, ITS ALL ABOUT EMBRACING WHO YOU ARE AS A PERSON, and I am comfortable with my body and in my own skin, I dont care what you think of me, or what you think of my boyfriend. Or what I wear, dont be jealous b/c you dont have the confidence or security with your own body to wear what you REALLY want or be YOUR self... I do what I want, and I could give a flying SHIT less what other people think of it!
_______________________________________________________________
OK I'M DONE WITH THE HATER SIDE OF THINGS... (they arent important at all!) just wanted you guys to see things how I felt about them, so you could understand...
_______________________________________________________________
Now for the heartfelt, ultra revealing exclusive you all want to read about.
In highschool, I was super nerdy, no style, not very popular (hey lets be honest!) I didnt have that many friends, DIDNT CARE! didnt want any.. I did my own thing and stuck to myself. I had a few close friends. and I still have MOST OF THEM IN MY LIFE TODAY... I will always love them.
In life I have come to realize there are FAKE friends, and REAL friends, and I've finally gotten all the FAKE ones out of my life, (see my top friends!)
I moved to Texas with nothing, no REAL friends from home, just some clothes, WHY? to start over, to FIND MYSELF, find my carreer, and realize what I wanted out of life. I moved to Texas so I could GROW UP! and I think that I did that..
I found MYSELF, I bloomed like a flower, I taught myself to see the beauty in myself and every one around me, or to see the UGLINESS in people, and some of the closest people to me at the time were the UGLIEST!
What YOU guys see from the outside, versus what things look like on the inside, are two completely different stories..
WHAT DO YOU THINK WHEN YOU LOOK AT ME? (lets break it down!)
1 - Famous2 - Pretty, Gorgeous, Stunning, Handsome, Flawless3 - Talented, Aspiring, Role Modelesque, etc.
and I guess where I am going with this, is for you guys to believe that I had to kinda re-model myself into that character. EXACTLY... I created a character, much like a movie character or anything else for that matter. I created a persona.
But that persona at first was SOMEONE I wanted to be like, (circa 2 years ago.) when I first created myspace, it was all about making myself look better than I really was. And making people believe I was extraordinary.. (but I didnt believe it myself!) I had horrible flaws, and my persona covered them up. I had bad self esteem, extremely insecure and no self confidence what so ever.
Granted at the time I created myspace, I considered a professional photoshoot to be a friend coming over to my house and taking pics of me... (I'VE MOVED ON TO STUDIO'S, PAYCHECKS, AND MAGAZINE AD'S NOW!)
Its a great feeling to look back at that sad miserable person, b/c I can see that I was basically in a cage, I knew what I wanted to be, but I didnt know how to ACHIEVE it.
What I am trying to get to is....OR MY POINT IS.......
DONT LET ANYONE EVER TELL YOU, YOU ARENT GOOD ENOUGH, OR THAT YOU CAN NOT SUCCEED.... DONT EVER LET ANYONE TELL YOU THAT YOU ARENT PRETTY... or ARENT SMART.... or ARENT TALL ENOUGH.... THIN ENOUGH.... or even TALENTED ENOUGH to make your dreams a reality....
B/C I am here NOW standing before you, LIVING PROOF that you can do what EVER your mind can imagine....
IF YOU WANT TO BE A MODEL.... work on it, practice, take lots of pics, send them to agencies, do what you have to do to make your dreams a reality.. I went through HELL to get my face out in the world, and I still do.. I have more HATERS than anyone else on the internet.... and WHY? b/c they are fucking JEALOUS of me, its the truth... THEY ARE JEALOUS that they've tried to tear me down for 2 years.. and I've done more than ANY OF THEM EVER WILL IN THEIR ENTIRE LIFE... in a simple 2 years of my life... and I've just BEGUN! Dont let ANYONE stop you from your dreams...
IF YOU WANT TO BE A SINGER.... then by all means take a laptop mic and jump in your bathroom and do it, garageband that shit, to get you started.. I can name about 20 people that started that way, who are MILLIONAIRES NOW! dont let anyone EVER stop you...
IF YOU WANT TO BE IN MOVIES.... make a youtube account and show people you have the talent....

THE POINT OF THIS BLOG IS..... people constantly ask me, HOW I DID THIS? or what got me started.... or blah blah blah... and the answer is simply:
DETERMINATION!
when you put your mind to something, they ONLY person that can hold you back is YOURSELF...
I MAY NOT BE WHAT EVERYONE SEE'S AS BEAUTIFUL.... but I know that every where I go, and when I sleep at night, I know I look good, and I dont lose a min or rest over it.
I KNOW PERFECTION DOES NOT EXIST.... and I dont chase after it by any means... I see all these stupid PERFECTION GROUPS on myspace, and then I look at all their "MEMBERS" and I think to myself "How Pathetic" those people are, they are all photoshopped to hell, and probably have more insecurities than a chubby girl, in a bulimic clinic. I just wonder when they will WAKE UP and realize they arent perfect, and NO ONE thinks they are. All of those groups are filled with the most Insecure and Lonely kids on the internet. And they actually hate themselves so much that they do all that shit to themselves and their pictures to make people think they are better than they really are... TRUST ME, I'VE BEEN THERE...
Dont change yourself to match what the crowd thinks is beautiful... DEFINE IT YOURSELF!
AND THAT IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS!

I hope this actually helped some people... Or inspired someone... Otherwise, it was just a great venting journal entry for me... I just want to Inspire and Create in this world full of FAKE!

True Beauty

What Is True Beauty?

What qualities do stunning women share?

Elegant. Chic. That certain je ne sais quoi. Call it whatever you want. Certain women possess that one glowing quality that catches people off-guard. Often it’s hard to pinpoint its genesis. It could be the simple yet classy chignon in her hair, it could be her stunning attire, it could even be her picture perfect smile, but often it’s something much more intrinsic than any of these. It could just be something about the way she carries herself.

What are the things that truly speak to the glamour of a woman?

Childhood Idol

I would say that true beauty lies in subtlety and the little external details only magnify it. Think of a woman that you idolized as a child. Was it your mother? Grandmother? A teacher, perhaps? Think about what you remember most. I remember my mother the most and the way her wavy long hair framed her face and softened her eyes. I used to think she was a mermaid because of the way her hair flowed. But it was more than just these traits that made women such as my mother so admirable.

Fabulous Feature

One major factor of beauty is having a captivating feature.

Do your eyes have a sparkle to them that shows even when it’s dark out?

Do you have a commanding posture that oozes sexiness? Perhaps you have a charismatic laugh that people can’t seem to get enough of. Those of us who have figured out how to play up this feature will never have difficulty catching glances of awe even in a large crowd.We have also learned how to use these features to the best of our advantage. A quick glance over our shoulder or flashing our signature smile has been known to earn us discounts, passes, numbers, an endless array of free goodies and sometimes even jobs. It’s more than superficial “prettiness” because we have learned how to exude confidence and charm without having to resort to unclassy alternatives like over-the-top makeup and revealing attire, but rather by having learned how to maximize our best beauty assets.

More Than Skin Deep

But more important and long lasting than any of these physical attributes are those that cause us to truly admire or idolize certain women in the first place: inner beauty. This is why Princess Diana is a lasting icon, whereas Britney Spears isn't even a commonly respected personality. True inner beauty means that your smile goes beyond photogenic and is genuine and sincere. It means that people enjoy being around you because it makes them feel beautiful. It’s a matter of natural charm and a kind spirit that brings out one's inner beauty.

This, I would argue, is the most important part of one's personality, because this will carry through when old age takes its toll.Lastly, I want to point out one of the most understated qualities that contributes to a woman’s beauty: wisdom.

It increases with age and experience, it shines through even the most weathered faces and is the reason why we looked up to our female idols in the first place, even if we didn’t know it at the time. A baby can be cute, a young girl can have a pretty face, but real beauty takes time to cultivate and develop, and relies on far more than genetics, surgery or physique to be truly captivating.

In the end, beauty chalks up to more than just a fresh face and a killer body. It relies heavily on personality. Consider the following for a moment: if you spend your life stressed, angry and resentful, it’s not going to be your laugh lines that will be noticeable in your older years. That being said, the best advice for lasting beauty ought to be obvious: smile…

Why It Is Hard To Get Over A Beautiful Girl

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. If you saw her beauty that means that she was special to you. You can't just let her go yet you cannot force her to stay against her will. It is a free world. Which technique can you use to get over a beautiful girl? Any woman whom you love and who gives you difficulties while breaking up must be a beauty queen in your own standards. Logic dictates that to get over a beautiful girl you must engage in a new relationship. It is not easy especially if the woman affects your emotions. When the break up is real bad the disappointing moments keep on haunting you all the time. You might have been dying to end the relationship but you will still experience the feeling of loss.

To get over a beautiful girl is hard. It is sheer pretense to say that it is possible to be nasty and indifferent to somebody you once held so close to your heart. The beauty will always be visible to you even after a hundred years. That is why so many people fall in to temptation of sleeping with their ex-lover or ex-husbands. It is easier to move on after a break up if it was terrible and horrible. If the break up was decent and amicable, moving on becomes so hard since the good final words are hoped to turn around to the normal sweet words. The hope of ever getting back still lives.

The worst relationship to get over is a relationship that fails even to get a chance to begin. A person keeps on seeing a day some where in the future where they will meet once again and hit it off. It is a dangerous fantasy which affects most secret admirers and if not well checked it can lead to obsession or stalking. To get over a beautiful girl tell her about how you dream of a time together. What do you do when you meet a very charming lady you would fall in love with within only ten seconds of talking. Unfortunately you find out that she will be leaving to another continent in a week's time and won't be back soon. It is so heart breaking to break a relationship before you even start it. You have doubts with long distance relationships since it barely works even for people who have been physically together for a long time. Your romantic life can be on hold for a long time if you do not dismiss the encounter. To Get over such a beautiful girl needs the grace of God but it is possible.

It might seem absurd and stupid to get broken hearted over such a meeting but it happens all the time. People get emotionally worked up something that never happened and may be it would not have worked in any way. Such a beautiful angel affects your life and you crave for are ways and means to get over a beautiful girl. The only way is to allow yourself to mingle freely and i assure you there are more beautiful girls out there. Get over her and live without feeling the loss.

"True Beauty"


BEAUTY is not based on how attractive we are to everybody else, but how attractive we are to ourselves, for one cannot think other people think they are full of beauty unless they know they are beautiful too. I believe the personality and the soul is what makes a person beautiful,it does not always have to be the physical appearance. Sometimes the best guy isn't always the hottest guy or the richest... sometimes he's the ugliest or the poorest. Don't go through life wearing shutters,learn to take them off. Beauty has to take a back seat to whatever else may lie in your heart. Sometimes love or something like it takes a form such as a thought across the internet. Real beauty is the beauty of soul and Beauty is like a tree; it grows from the inside out.. Try to put that in your heads.

The Filipina Beauty


The Filipina is renowned for her beauty, her caring disposition and having strong family values. These attributes make a Filipina Wife a desirable choice for many single men.

So what is a Filipina?

The original inhabitants of the archipelago known as the Philippines are of Malay origin. For centuries Chinese, Indian and Middle Eastern traders visited the Philippines often leaving more than just a cultural influence.

The Philippines was under Spanish control for 400 years and the Filipina has adopted many of the Latina characteristics and have a unique beauty all their own.

The Philippines is not considered part of the Latin world today but has been strongly influenced by its Latin past. Discovered by Portuguese explorer Magellan on his historic circumnavigation of the world the Philippines was named after King Philip of Spain who was funding the expedition.

It has been said that the Filipinos were not encouraged to learn Spanish due to a change in colonial policy. Despite this the preferred everyday counting system is Spanish and the currency is the Peso.

The National Filipino language is very rich in Spanish words and while the language does not grammatically incorporate gender they have adopted many gender endings. They will use Filipino for male and Filipina for female.

In Central and southern Philippines a handsome man is guapo and a pretty girl is guapa. Further South around Zamboanga in Mindanao there is an area where the people speak a language very close to Spanish called Ciabacano.

Filipino cuisine is also richly influenced by both Spanish and South America (the Philippines was actually administered from Mexico). Dishes such as Paella, Apretida, Aroscaldo, Menudo and Calderita are considered Filipino.

In traditional Filipino music and dance there is unmistakably a Spanish sound and it is considered an integral part of their cultural heritage. The traditional dress style is also Spanish but as in most Latin American countries the younger generation prefer the American fashions.

The Filipino have also adopted much of the Latin values and attitudes. Perhaps the biggest legacy is Catholicism which is embraced by vast majority of the Filipinos.

At the turn of last century control of the Philippines past to American hands and it has often been said that the Philippines spent 400 years in a Convent and then 40 years in Hollywood.

English was quickly adopted as a second language and most people you will encounter will have a good command of the language so basic communication is seldom a problem. Most Filipino people admire and aspire to Western culture, in particular American.

The Philippines is outwardly one of the most Western countries in Asia yet I have heard it said that if you scratch the surface of a Filipino you will find an Asian. The Philippines still shares many cultural traditions and values with its neighbours.

The cuisine is a blend of Malay and Chinese with strong Spanish influences. American fast food is also extremely popular. American fashion rules but there is always a subtle hint of Latina in the way they dress.

American music rules but again old Latin influences are often found in home grown music. Any new Western music featuring Latin sounds is guaranteed to be popular in the Philippines

The Filipina is a product of all these influences both genetic and cultural. Their amazing beauty is a result of the infusion of many different ethnic influences coming together to produce the beautiful hybrid we call a Filipina

How to know if she is the Right Girl for You


Even if your relationship works well, you have to think if she is the right girl for you, the one with whom you want to spend all your life. How do you if she is the right one? Here are some things that might help you.

It is great to have a long term relationship even if this is very difficult to sustain. It supposes a lot of sacrifices from both partners. Maybe you have met a wonderful girl a long time ago and you still have a relationship with her because you were able to make all the sacrifices and changes that needed, to make this work. But have you ever wondered if she is the right girl for you? Many couples after years of relationship break up because they find out that they are not compatible. Worst, sometimes couples that are married get divorce because they are not suitable with each other and didn't realize this earlier. So, if you are in a relationship right now stop for a second and analyze your relationship, your girlfriend and see if this is what you really want and if she is the right girl for you, until it's not too late. Even if your relationship works well, you have to think if she is the right girl for you, the one with whom you want to spend all your life. How do you if she is the right one? Here are some things that might help you: - makes you feel more happy, makes you smile more, help you every time you needed, it is a person you can trust on, someone you see you can have a future with -she is focused on you, you are definitely not on the second place in her life -she loves you, you can see this from her attitude; observe the way she looks at you and treats you everyday, how she speaks with you, if she is glad when you are making a surprise to her; she has to love you for who you are and not for who you try to be -eye contact it is also very important, so watch out because if she doesn't have the courage to look directly in your eyes when you talk with her, something is wrong there; she might hiding something and then she is not the right girl for you -she has to be smart, intelligent; this is a kind of woman who wont let you get bored, because will constantly surprise you; also it is nice to have someone with whom you can talk about everything -it is very important to be sexually compatible with you; this means that has to exist that undeniable attraction between you two, and you are able to communicate your desires verbally; you have to please each other in the bedroom -she has to have patience in your relationship; so test her; if she asks you to take her out to dinner tell her that now it is not possible because you don't have money so she has to wait until the salary day; see how she is reacting; if she understands you means that she loves you, if not and gets angry means that she stay with you only for your money so you better get rid of her -is she beautiful? This doesn't mean that she has to be miss beauty, just someone who wants to look good for you and for herself, try always to look her best, someone who you can be proud to be with; if she has just some beautiful parts that you like, this is ok -she likes you the way you are; she doesn't try to control you, doesn't insist to give up your nights out with guys; she allows you to be yourself; she may suggest you a new sweater, but she is not critical on every aspect of the way you live -she respects you; this means that she would never cause scenes in public in front of your family and friends and wait to discuss matters with you in private; also she is able to listen your opinion even if she doesn't agree with what you say -she is willing to do sacrifices for you; she is willing to move your furniture if it has too, wants to meet your friends, and she is wiling to try new things that you ask her even if she never do that again -she has to have her own personality and opinions; to be able to enjoy time away from you, while still missing you; an independent woman is all you need -she is able to make efforts for you, to get along with the most important people from your life: like your mom, dad, brothers, sisters and also friends -you like the way she handles things; you like the way she sees the world, how she thinks, and her thoughts actually interest you -she is friendly, respectfully, exactly how you like; you like the way she treats other people, is kind with strangers, animals Now, all you have to do is to think if your girlfriend meets some of these requirements and to decide if she is the right girl for you.

Simplicity is beauty;natural based products are still the best


Natural Beauty - Enhance The Looks You Have

Visualization

You need to visualize the specific changes if you truly want to change your look. What will any improvements you make look like? See yourself with a streamlined body, healthier hair, clearer skin, majestic posture. These changes are realistic and attainable. Stay away from goals you'll never reach. Don't compare yourself with someone you've seen on the TV or movie screen or on the cover of a magazine. Accept your uniqueness and capitalize on it.

Mirrors Boost Attitude


The quickest attitude adjustment is through reflection. Women who have low self esteem often avoid mirrors like the plague. However, mirrors can become a big ally. Mirrors can tell you how you're progressing, in those little ways that may not be noticeable to the casual eye. It is the ultimate objective eye.

Do Everything Better

The way you use your beauty products will make all the difference in results. For instance, try to duplicate what you see and feel your hair is shampooed at a salon. The product is always handled, never poured directly on hair. Add a massage to your scalp when washing. While rinsing, lift your hair away from your scalp for about two minutes until it squeaks.

Discover The Virtues of Vanity

Confident women enjoy experimenting as a way of relieving stress and boost morale. Women who care about how they look are fascinating to watch, and teach us about taste and glamour. Vanity is a positive virtue, allowing us to fix our heads as well as our looks.

Pretty Amazing

Don't worry about looking pretty. Look pretty amazing show the world you care about yourself. Real beauty celebrates individuality. Rather than running around looking for beauty in pricey external products, discover within yourself. Make the most of what you have. You'll learn to like yourself and that will spark a light within.

Do One Thing For Yourself Everyday

Make yourself do it. It's the ultimate act of self-respect. Soak in the bubble bath or read an inspiring book. These little pleasures allow you to feel special. You can fake it if you, until you actually feel deserving of it. Whatever you choose, follow the action by writing down waht you did and how it made you feel. Make it your own "attitude file". Include stories, quotes from friends and photographs that have made you feel good about yourself.

Project Beauty

Feel good, feel pretty and that's just what the world will see. If you feel ugly, that's what the people will see. Try to look as good as you can. There are ways to live in beauty without being obsessive about it.

Find Supportive Friends

What people say, whether intentional or not, make us feel good or bad about ourselves. Look for people who make you feel good when you're down. This person will give you compliment. If you've done something different or if you're wearing something new, they will notice it. Keep this compliments and they will build your self esteem.

Listen To Your Inner Voice

Each of us has a voice inside our head that will give us advice. This is like a therapist. It will guide us in the right direction. It will calm us down, cheer us up and even help us figure out why we're overeating or not bothering to iron our clothes. The problem is that we often don't take time we need to hear this important information. Schedule some quiet time in a leisurely bath or walk, or even while putting on your makeup. Treat this intuition as an inner cheering section.

Take A Break

At least twice a day, set aside five minutes to recheck your make-up, hair, posture and clothing. No matter how impeccably you started out your day, a touch is both necessary and warranted. Take some deep breaths to renew and restore your appearance.

"ALOE VERA has been knowned for its healing power;The Miracle Plant"



Often called the miracle plant or the natural healer, Aloe Vera is a plant of many surprises. It flourishes in warm and dry climates, and to many people it looks like a cactus with fleshy thorny leaves. In fact it is a member of the Lily family. Staying moist where other plants wither and die by closing its pores to prevent moisture loss.

Additional knowledge "Four vegetables are indispensable for the well being of man:
Wheat, the grape, the olive and aloe.
The first nourishes him, the second raises his spirit,
The third brings him harmony, and the fourth cures him"

Christopher Columbus (1451-1506)

"You ask me what were the secret forces which sustained me during my long fasts. Well, it was my unshakeable faith in God, my simple and frugal lifestyle, and the Aloe whose benefits I discovered upon my arrival in South Africa at the end of the nineteenth century".

Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948)

There are in fact over 200 varieties of Aloe, but it is the Aloe Barbadensis Miller (Aloe Vera or "true aloe") plant which has been of most use to mankind because of the medicinal properties it displays. Ancient records show that the benefits of this plant have been known for centuries, with its therapeutic advantages and healing properties surviving for more than 5000 years.
Its antiquity was first discovered in 1862 in an Egyptian papyrus dated 1500 BC. It was used to great effect by Greek and Roman physicians. Researchers have found that both the ancient Chinese and Indian used Aloe Vera. Egyptian Queens associated its use with their physical beauty, while in the Phillipines it is used with milk for kidney infections. Legend suggests that Alexander the Great conquered the island of Socotra in the Indian Ocean to secure supplies of Aloes to treat the battle wounds of his soldiers.


Aloe Vera remained a prominent herbal remedy but as the Northern European countries expanded their colonisation of the globe, it starts to fall from grace. It is not clear why this was so, but a possible explanation is the difference between the use of Aloe Vera in tropical climes, compared with the temperate north. In tropical countries where the plants grew naturally, there was an abundance of fresh Aloe. However, Aloe Vera had to be imported to the temperate north, but inevitably degraded in transit. Physicians in Europe therefore never got to experience the true benefits, and scorned reports of the wonders that it could do for health. In consequence it never really took hold; in the knowledge of European Physicians, and the alleged remarkable healing powers; were felt to be more myth than fact. As science developed Aloe Vera became discarded along with many stalwart herbal remedies of an earlier age.about Aloe Vera;

What makes Aloe Vera work?
It is surprising that the evident healing effects of aloe vera can be produced by such a small quantity of solid material. Some people believe that there is a synergistic action between all the component ingredients, giving a result which is greater than the sum of the individual actions. The combined action of all herbal preparations taken from whole stems, roots, leaves or fruits containing huge numbers, but very small amounts of phyto-chemicals, stretches the boundaries of the conventional medicinal paradigm.




In all allopathic (orthodox) medicine, the practice is to isolate, in a chemically pure form, the biologically active substance of the consitutent ingredients. These extracted drugs must be uniform in their composition in order to demonstrate a consistent physiological effect. Perhaps there is some truth in an ancient Ayurvedic text from India: ‘Extracting drugs from a part of the plant is taking out the intelligence and throwing away the wisdom.’ Whole plant preparations, though less potent, are generally considered to be safer with fewer side effects.

How to look attractive?


Beauty comes from both inside and outside

If someone has not already told you this, this is a state of mind rather than how one's body looks. We have tested this hypothesis with many couples. What we found is that physical appearance had very little to do with how a woman's partner felt about her. These women were hot in their mind and it came out in how they behaved and dressed. So what you need to think about is how to change your thinking. How do you change your own attitude towards your own body? You have to look at your own body and start to love it. If you don't, then you will present a very insecure image to your partner and he will not like you either. Believe me, so many men write to us daily telling us how attractive they find women like you. But men love only those women that are confident and full of self-esteem. They are more interesting and more fun to be around. (Related article: How to improve self esteem?)

Here are some additional tips to feel good about your looks:


Start
exercising regularly. It will not only tone up your body, you will feel much better about yourself. You don't have to do anything special; just regular physical activity will be great for you considering that you are not overweight.
Invest in a new wardrobe. Shop for clothes that make you look more lively and cheerful. Choose colors that go well with your skin and hair color. Do not forget the accessories.
Buy high-quality
lingerie. Do not be too worried if it is too risqué. You will feel great when you wear it.
Spend more time in front of the mirror. Dress up in your favorite outfits and admire your body in front of the mirror. Just because you have small front, it does not mean that you should not look at yourself in the mirror. Notice, in particular, those assets of your body that stand out, whether it be your hair or eyes or rear.
Read inspirational books to
develop your self-esteem.
Stay away from people who tease you or try to convince you that a
woman's self-esteem is to be determined by her size.
Finally, smile.
Smile for being a woman.
