Living in a country where the sun never sets in summertime, and only rises a few hours per day in winter, you can really see the days getting darker earlier day by day.
The winters here are long, grey and we don’t get to see much sun, which is necessary for feeling happy (proved by science).

Therefore people in this country tend to get depressed when autumn comes, we even have a name for it: Autumn depression.

What can be better (apart from a trip somewhere warm and sunny ;P) than to light up the dark grey autumn days with some colourful, cosy warm Moroccan lamps?

Just look at this picture below from a shop in Marrakech filled to the brim of lights, you can’t say that is looks anything but inviting!

The good thing is you don’t even need to go to Morocco to buy them!

Here are some great websites where you can buy them online:

Do you have any good ideas of how to brighten up the autumn? I’d love to hear it!

I used to work at a very popular and fancy Café that had muffins as their speciality… And I’ll tell you, they were something special!

Wow, what flavours they came up with; White chocolate-banana, pistage nuts and raspberry… avocado muffin (!), they had it all and they were SO yummy!

But there was one muffin type that didn’t live up to my expectations. I’m not picky, but this was so disgusting that I had to spit it out:

The Sugar Free Muffin.

To be honest I had never tasted any sugar free cakes that were nice. Why is that? Is sugar really the one thing that makes a cake?

It can’t be!

I refused to accept that sugar is necessary for a nice cake, but since none of the sugar free cakes I had bought in Cafés proved me right I decided to take the case alone.

So yesterday I made a Sugar Free Carrot Cake.

The result?

It was DELICIOUS!

Here is the recipe I followed (I didn’t make the topping though)

Sugar Free Carrot- Pineapple Cake

2 c. flour

2 tsp. cinnamon

2 tsp. baking soda

1/4 tsp. salt

1 tsp. baking powder

CARROT MIXTURE:

2 c. grated carrots

1 c. crushed pineapple, drained

1/2 c. crushed nuts

1/2 c. sesame seeds

1-1 1/2 c. coconut

EGG MIXTURE:

3 eggs

1/2 c. oil

1/2 can frozen juice concentrate

Add the carrot mixture to the egg mixture, then add the flour mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 (to 1 1/4) hours in an angel food, springform or Bundt cake pan. Remove from pan and cool on rack.

Optional sauce: 1/2 cup buttermilk, 1 cup sugar, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon syrup, 1/2 stick butter. Cook to almost boiling for 5 minutes. Punch holes in top of cake and pour sauce over cake.

Enjoy!

The average American woman’s weight has increased with 11 pounds (7%) over the last 10 years.
Today for a woman who is 5′38″ (163 cm) the average weight is 163 pounds (74 kg). That gives her a BMI (Body Mass Index) on 28.
A healthy person should have a BMI between 19-25. Overweight is between 26 and 30, a BMI between 30 and 40 is obese, while a BMI over 40 is morbidly obese.

According The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 64% of the American population from the age of 20 are overweight.

An easy way to check wheter you’re underweight or overweight is to check your BMI. There are several websites where you just type in your height and weight and they’ll do the calculation for you.

Here is a goodwebsite where you can calculate your BMI:

Exercising….

god, only the word itself used to make me sigh and feel tired or a placebo feeling of actually not feeling quite well.

Two years ago I hated exercising, especially running. In school I was very creative at finding all types of excuses when I knew we were running on the P.E classes.

I was studying drama as my main subject, and I must have been quite a good actress since I convinced the school nurse that there was something wrong with my feet that made it impossible for me to run long distance.

I went to doctors several times a year, but nobody could find what was wrong with my feet… which is understandable, since it wasn’t the feet that was the problem, but my mind.

Somewhere along the way I linked up running with pain. And later on, every type of exercise with pain.

I have never been overweight, and I actually used to think I was in good shape, until one day when I realized how terribly wrong I was.

Within a year and a half I have gone from moving as rarely as possible, to being close to a health freak, all because of small changes in my everyday life.

You don’t have to go to a gym to get fit, you don’t need a personal trainer, you can find exrcise in all types of everyday chores.

All you need to do is take action and make small changes, step by step. I guarrantee you will get more out of this than just a hot body, the fitness is only a plus on the side.

You will feel happier, more confident and more energized.

Did you know that by…

… making your bed for an hour you burn 104 kcal.
… cleaning the floor you burn 234 kcal/h
… working in the garden you burn 336 kcal/h
… walking down the stairs you burn 426 kcal/h
… walking up the stairs you burn 600-1080 kcal/h
… ironing clothes you burn 252 kcal/h

Now I’m well aware that most people don’t walk up the stairs for an hour every day, but it gives you a good insight to see that you actually burn quite a lot by changing small things such as walk up the stair instead of taking the ilft.

The first thing I changed was that I started to take the bike to work instead of the tram.

That changed a large part of my life.

I felt proud over myself for biking, it made me wake up in the morning, I got some fresh air everyday and I saw myself getting fitter by every week.

The key to a slim, toned hot body is exercise! Try all the diet pills you like but you’ll never see the same results.

Good luck!

Thank god sale is finally over! It’s funny I say this, because I love sale! Just not when there is nothing left to sell. The sale in the city I live has been going on for three months now (all summer), and as there were not much at the start, there is nothing now.

I, who love shopping, especially when getting great deals, wanted nothing but going home when desperately searching through the shops after something wearable!

But now, finally, summer is at and end, and the New Arrivals are welcomed into the shops…
So, before we go shopping again, what should we look for this autumn? Just because something hangs under the signe “New Arrivals”, it doesn’t mean it’s the latest fashion.

Here are the Key Looks:

Over-the-knee or (if you dare) thigh-high boots.

There is no doubt these boots scream ’sex’, so avoid them screaming it the wrong way. It’s easy to make these boots look slutty, but you only need to think about a few things to avoid it.

1. Go for Genuine Leather (patent and PVC is a never ever)
2. The colours in matt Black, brown, Olive green, greys or cream/neutral tones are great choices

Peep Toe Boots

Boots with a hole by the toes are also big this autumn.

Ripped Tights and Stockings.

This year you don’t have to worry at all about a rip in your stockings, instead you’ll be the lastest fashionista of all

Not only jeans are ripped, but tights and stockings as well.

Another trend we will be seeing a lot of is the overlapped jeans and clothing.

Sheer (seethrough) materials

What do you think about the coming fashion??

Make sure your partner listens when to tell him you’re going on vacation in Europe for two weeks. This would be a great test for your relationship. Watch it, it’s SO funny!!!!!!!

Hi girls, hope you’ve had a lovely weekend!

During the weekend people tend to let themselves go a bit and spoil themselves with a “treat” while watching a good movie. I’ve always sort of associated movie with movie snacks, they kind of go together, you know?

But having snacks doesn’t equal eating unhealthy food. And no, I’m not saying “Instead of a bag och crisps, have a carrot!”, but really tasty snacks. Some of them take a bit longer to prepare, but some are really quick!

Here are my facourite movie snacks.

Caramel Popcorn

Pop your popcorn as usual (no premade popcorn with salt, just plain and natural)

Caramel mixture:

Heat 1 Tbs Butter 1/4 cup honey over med heat until boiling. Boil 1-2 minutes until honey turns a little bit darker brown but not too dark.

Pour caramel mixture over popcorn.

Tip: When it cools you can make into popcorn balls by squeezing them into a ball shape with your hands!

(Blue)Berry Crisp

(this recipe i got from http://www.medicinenet.com Tastes delicious!)

Makes 12 servings

This recipe calls for just a half-cup of brown sugar for 12 servings. Rolled oats and wheat germ add the goodness of grains.

Filling:

5 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (don’t thaw before using). You can choose any kind of berries, I like it with strawberries!

Topping:

• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/4 cup rolled oats, uncooked
• 1/4 cup wheat germ
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened but not melted

Preheat oven ( 375? F). Place the fruit in a 13×9x2-inch glass baking dish. Combine the brown sugar, oats, wheat germ, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Cut in the margarine with a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture over the top of the blueberries. Bake for 25 minutes or until the fruit is tender. Cool before serving.

Per serving (made with margarine): 152 calories, 3 g protein, 22 g carbohydrate, 7 g fat, 1 g saturated fat, 0 mg cholesterol, 3 g fiber, 68 mg sodium. Calories from fat: 41%.

Banana Popsicles

• 3 bananas
• 6 Popsicle sticks
• 1/4 cup natural peanut butter, softened
• 1/4 cup chopped peanuts or walnuts, granola, crispy rice cereal, or sunflower seeds

Peel the bananas. Cut them in half, widthwise, and push a Popsicle stick through the cut end of each half. Spread peanut butter on the bananas, and then roll them in the nuts, cereal, or seeds. Wrap them in waxed paper and freeze.

Banana/Strawberry Smoothie

I love smoothies, you can basically make a smoothie out of anything, and it tastes delish! Here is a great one I love, it gives you a lot of goodness and energy.

• 1/2 cup nonfat milk
• 1/2 cup fat-free plain yogurt
• 1/2 banana, peeled and chopped
• 1 1/2 tablespoons flax seed
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1/2 cup strawberries

Just put it all into a blender and blend until it’s smooth.

Hope you all enjoy your movie night!

Great skin is important not only for your appearance but also for your confidence. When I was backpacking in Indonesia I got this really bad bacteria in my body and got really sick. That would eventually turn out to be the cause of bad breakouts on my skin!!

To make the breakouts go away I decded to (among other things) change my diet. There are certain food that will make your skin glow, and others you should avoid.

Here is a list with food that’s good for your skin:

• Food rich in vitamin A.

  Studies have shown that people who have acne have lower vitamin A levels n their bodies than those who have healthy skin. So if you have pimples, increasing your intake on vitamin A might be just the right way to go.

  Food that contain vitamin A:

  - Carrots
  - Mango
  - Tomatoes
  - Pumpkin
  - Spinach
  - Sweet potato
  - Turnip
  - Bellpeppers
  - Apples

• Food rich in vitamin E.

  Vitamin E repairs and maintain the health of your skin cells.

  Food rich in vitamin E:

  - Avocado
  - Wheat and Oats
  - Green veggies
  - Egg
  - Nuts
  - Wheat germ
  - Almonds
  - Sunflower seeds

• Food rich in antioxidants.

  Food rich in vitamin C (ex. citrus fruits and berries)  have loads of antioxidants.

  Good source of antioxidants:

  - Blueberries
  - Raspberries
  - Green Tea
  - Hot peppers
  - Garlic and Onion

• Food rich in Zinc.

  Zinc helps to stop germs and bacteria, it also has healing properties and is good for preventing acne scars.

  Food that contain zinc:

  - Basil
  - Thyme
  - Spinach
  - Pumpkin Seeds
  - Beef
  - Lamb

• Food rich in Omega-3.

  Omega-3 is inflammatory and helps you have healthy skin cells.

  Omega-3 Food:

  - Walnuts
  - Flax Seeds/ Flaxseed oil
  - Salmon
  - Fresh Tuna

But the best remedy for a helathy looking skin is water. Water flushes out the toxins n your body and keeps the skin hydrated. You should drink 3 litres per day, and at the minimum 2.

Hope this helped you out,
take care

WOW!

Remember that funny song Mariah released dissing Eminem a few weeks ago?

He has finally replied with a new song and I think he is about to spill some more dirt about what really happened between them!

Eminem has just released a track called The Warning, completely dissing Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon.

He claims to have naked pictures of her, which he threatens to release among a few other things!

- Listen to the song and read the lyrics (below).

The Warning by Eminem

Only reason I dissed you in the first place, is cause you denied seeing me
Now I’m pissed off
Sit back homey, relax, in fact grab a six pack
Kick back while I kick facts
Yeah Dre’s sick track, perfect way to get back
Wanna hear something wick wack?
I got the exact same tat that’s on Nick’s back
I’m obsessed now
Oh gee, is that supposed to be me in the video with the goatee
Wow Mariah, I didn’t expect her to go balls out
Bitch, shut the fuck up before I put all them phone calls out you made to my house when you was wild n out before Nick
When you was on my dick and give you somethin to smile about
How many times you fly to my house? Still trying to count
Better shut your lying mouth if you don’t want Nick finding out
You probably think cuz it’s been so long if I had something on you I woulda did it by now
Oh on the contrary, Mary Poppins, I’m mixing our studio session down and sending it to mastering to make it loud
Enough dirt on you to murder you
This is what the fuck I do
Mariah, it ever occur to you that I still have pictures?
However you prefer to do and that goes for you Nick too, faggot
You think I’m scared of you?
You gonna ruin my career you better get one
Like I’ma sit and fight with you over some slut bitch cunt who made me put up with her psycho ass over 6 months and only spread her legs to let me hit once
Yeah, what you gonna say? I’m lucky? Tell the public that I was so ugly that you fucking had to be drunk to fuck me?
Second base? What the fuck you tell Nick, punk?
In the second week we were dry humping. It’s gotta count for something
Listen, girly. Surely you don’t want me to talk about how I nutted early cause I ejaculated prematurely and bust all over your belly, and you almost started hurling and said I was gross, go get a towel you’re stomachs curling. Or maybe you do.
But if I’m embarrassing me, I’m embarrassing you and don’t you dare say it isn’t true
As long as the song’s getting airplay I’m dissing you
I’m a hair away from getting carried away and getting sued
I was gonna stop at 16. That was 32. This is 34 bars. We ain’t even a third of the way through
Damn, Slim. Mariah played you. Mariah who?
Oh did I say ”whore”, Nick? I meant a liar too
Like I’ve been goin off on you all this time for no reason
Girl you out ya alcholic mind. Check ya wine cellar. Look at the amounts of all the wine
Like I fucking sit around and think about you all the time
I just think this shit is funny when I pounce you on a rhyme
But fuck it now I’m about to draw the line
And for you to cross it that’s a mountain that I doubt you wanna climb
I can describe areas of your house you wouldn’t find on an episode of Cribs
A blow below the ribs if I hear another word so don’t go opening your jibs cause every time you do it’s just another load of fibs
I ain’t saying this shit again, ho. You know what it is.
It’s a warning shot before I blow up ya whole spot
Call my bluff and I’ll release every fucking thing I got
Including the voicemails right before you flipped your top
When me and Luis were tryin’ to stick two CD’s in the same spot
(Slim Shady ….. I love you)
I love you too
Let me whisper sweet nothings into your ear, boo. Now what you say?
(It’s nothing)
Yes and what I’ll do is refresh your memory when you said “I want you”
Now should I keep going or should we call truce?
(You think you’re cute, right? Hahaha)
You bet your sweet ass I do
(I’m Mary Poppins, B)
And I’m Superman, mmm
(Mary P. Slim Shady)
Comin’ at you
So if you’ll still be my (babygirl)
Then I’ll still be your (Superhero, Wilma M.)
Yeah, I’m right here
(You like this)
Nope. Not anymore, Dear.
It cuts like a (knife) when I tell ya get a (life)
But I’m movin on with mine
Nick, is that your (wife)
Well tell her to shut her mouth then I’ll leave her alone
If she don’t (sing this script) then I’ma just keep goin
(I see Mary Ann. Mary Ann’s saying “cut the tape, cut the tape”. Knife!)

SO what do you girls think?

Is he serious?!

Hey girls, how has your summer been this far? Mine has been pretty rainy, lately anyway. But I refuse to let that bother me. There are heaps of things you can do on rainy days!

Here are my top 7 things to do on rainy days:

1. Have a home spa

(check out my blog Best Summer Home Spa)

2. Bake a cake/cookies.

Check out some delicious healthy low-fat and low-sugar cookie recipes at: http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/collections/healthy_cookie_recipes.html

3. Do some shopping online.

I actually prefer shopping online because there is so much more to choose from, you can do it from your own home and sometimes ge really good deals.

These are my favourite websites where I shop from:
-  www.asos.com
-  www.figleaves.co.uk
-  www.forever21.com
-  www.next.co.uk

4. Read a book

I recommend some books in the box to the right, I’ve learned so much from Trinny and Susannah!

5. Do your nails

(read my blog S.O.S Nailcare for some advise on how to get perfect nails)

6. Experiment with makeup.

Maybe this picture will inspire you? Hot or not I leave for you to decide, but it sure must have been fun doing it..!

If you want some help to create a look check out Kandee’s Cover Girl Pin-Up Look:

7. Watch funny videos on YouTube.

I like this one:

Take care,

Most people think it’s impossible to get rid of that extra fat on your face or a double chin once you’ve got it, but it’s not!

Excess face fat is caused by genetics, slack facial muscles and calorie intake.

So, how do we get rid of it?

Here are the 3 best ways to get rid of your face fat!

1. First of all, change your calorie intake. Researches has shown that processing calories ages your body the most. In other words, the fewer the calories to process, the less fat on your face.

2. Having some extra fat on your face usually equals having some extra fat on your body as well. It works the same way around. If you lose bodyfat you will also lose face fat.

3. Exercise your face muscles. Your face has so many muscles, and there is a way to exercise almost every one of them.

Here are some great exercises I found for your face.

Neck and Throat

1. Grasp the underside of your chin with an open palm. Tilt your head back so that your staring upwards until you feel your throat skin stretching

2. This is a continuation of the previous exercise. Now shift your hand to the bottom of your throat and stretch the skin downwards

3. Bring your lips together as if for a kiss. Tilt your head back to the ceiling. Stretch your lips as if you’re trying to kiss the ceiling above you

4. Tilt your head back as if staring at the ceiling. Bring your lower lips over the upper one and feel the stretch in your throat skin

5. Tilt Your head back as if staring at the ceiling. Bring your tongue out as if trying to touch your chin. Feel the stretch and relax

Each of these exercises should be done 5-10 times.

Exercises for the Cheeks

1 Keep your lips closed. Such both Cheeks inward. Hold and release. Do this exercise by sucking in one cheek at a time

2 Keep your mouth closed. Feel your mouth with air. Hold it under your upper lip for a few seconds. Move it to your right cheek. Hold. Move to your left cheek. Hold. Move the air to your lower lip. Hold. Blow the air out

3 Keep your lips closed. Pucker your lips by using your cheek muscles. Hold your lips puckered for a few seconds and release

If you want to exercise other facial parts, or want to do it by following someone else on video, I can’t think of anything better than watching one of Jack Lalanne’s 30 exercises for your face.

It’s old and black and white, but he makes it fun and the exercises work just as well today as they did back then, and so does Jack. That old man still walks up on stage doing push ups at 94 years of age..!!

Here is the first out of 30 videos for face exercises by Jack Lalanne:

My bleeched blond hair is a victim for the cruel summer sun. If I want my hair to survive summer I need to pay some attention to it.

And believe it or not, this summer I have, and if you saw the difference, there is no doubt you’d believe me

What you need is something that treats your hair before, during and after sun exposure.

Scwarzkopf BC Sun Guardian does the job well, leaving the hair smooth and shiny.

It’s a a kit with four products:

• Hair & Body Shampoo
  cleanses and re-moisturizes. It leaves hair and scalp refreshed and soothed.

• Shine Oil
  A non-greasy oil-based formula against dry, frizzy and dull hair.

• UV Protection Spray
  A spray that protects the hair against the effects of sun exposure and re-hydrates dry and thirsty summer hair.

• After Sun
  Just like your skin, your hair need deep re-moisturizing and regeneration after sun exposure and heat. This after treatment quenches your hair with essential moisture and regenerates deeply.

With the shine oil and UV Protection Spray you can relax at the beach and not having to worry about your hair getting dry and frizzy, you have a great backup!

Months after Chris Brown physically assaulted his (at the time) girlfriend Rihanna, he finally makes an official apology, check out the video below!

He explains how sorry he is for what he did, and ask the public to forgive him for his mistake.

What do you think?

Should we forgive him?

(By the way, doesn’t it look like he’s reading out loud from a text next to the camera lens? =P)

Hi there, how is summer treating you all?

I’m enjoying the best summer has to offer; Sun, warmth, swimming, sunbathing, good food, outdoor activities…

But my body is taking a toll from all that swimming and sunbathing. My skin is getting really dry and irritated from sunbathing and swimming in salt water. My feet are tired and I’m starting to get calluses from being barefoot a lot.

It’s definitely time for a home spa..!

What I love about home spas is that it’s easy and cheap, and you decide everything yourself.

I guess you were probably all bombarded by magazines telling you to prepare for summer by exfoliating your skin and all that, but like everything else you need to keep up the maintenance.

Here is my advise for the perfect Home Spa for a summer day:

I like my home spas to be cheap, easy and quick to prepare, so you can spend more time enjoying it.

What You Will Need:

• Relaxing music and atmosphere
• comfy chair (prefarably a reclining one) and cushions
• Body brush
• Small tub for your feet
• 2 towels
• 1 orange
• 3 lemons
• A bit of cucumber
• 6 strawberries
• 1 table spoon of olive oil
• 2 table spoons of white sugar
• 1 banana
• 1 table spoon of sea salt
• 1 table spoon of honey
• moisturizer

Tips: Prepare all the spa treatments before you start. Making one at a time prevents you from relaxing, it gets you out of your state.

Banana Strawberry Mask

Mash the banana and 6 washed strawberries together to form a paste, add a squeeze of lemon and mix well. Put mask into the fridge to cool until needed.

Cut some slices of the cucumber for your eyes and put them in the fridge til later on.

Slice a lemon and an orange for the foot bath and set aside. Put the sea salt in a bowl as well.

Lemon Sugar Body Scrub.

Squeeze 2 lemons, add 2 tablespoons of sugar (prefarably brown), 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and a table spoon of honey to form a paste.

Lets get started:

Bring the body scrub to the bathroom, where you brush the scrub on your body with the body brush.
Make small, slow circles beginning at your feet and make your way up. Brush for about 5 minutes, until your body is pink
(don’t worry, it’s just the blood circulation getting a kick).

Rinse off in shower, dry with towel and smother yourself with a moisturizing body lotion.

Pour some hot water in the foot bath, add the orange and lemon slices and go get the facial mask and cucumbers.

After you’ve placed your feet into the foot bath, apply the mask on your face and throat. Place the cucumber slices over your eyes and relax.

After about 15 minutes you can start rubbing your feet and lower legs with the citrus slices. Hold your feet above the surface when scrubbing them with the sea salt.

When you’re done, it’s time to take off your mask. Finish off with some calming chamomille thea.

So have fun spoiling yourselves!

Hi! Today’s blog is about how to make  small eyes look bigger, although I think girls with large eyes can benefit from this too and learn how to highlight them.

Lets start from the beginning.

What you need:

• Tweezers
• Mascara
• Eyelash curlers
• Dark Eye liner
• White eye liner
• High light eye shadow color
• Darker Eye shadow color

Step 1: Eyebrows

The first thing you need to do is getting some space around your eyes. Start by tweezing your eyebrows. If you thin them down slightly, you can get some extra eyelid, and add more light to your eyes.

Step 2: Eyeshadow

Apply a light eyeshadow over the whole eyelid (all the way up to the brows) to lighten up the eye.

MAC soft ochre paint pot is a good choice for a makeup base.

Then put a second layer from the lashes to the crease of your eye. Choose a soft and fairly neutral color, as dark or bright colors can be overpowering and make your eyes look smaller!

You can also use a slightly shimmering eyeshadow to brighten up the eye, such as MAC solar white eyeshadow.

If your eyes are set back, use a slightly darker color in the crease of your eye and blend in to the lighter eyeshadow on the eyelid. That will make them appear to come forward.

You don’t want to go too dark since you should keep the inner part of your eye light and save the dark for the outer corners of your eye.

So put the dark eyeshadow in the outer corners of your eyelid and blend it out a little bit, don’t go too far in on the lid though, because that will close off the eyes.

Step 3: Eyeliner

Use a black eyeliner (I recommend you use a pencil as it won’t come out looking as heavy) from the corner to the middle of your eye along the upper lash line. Blur the line by smudging the line with your fingers or a cotton bud, so it doesn’t weigh it down so much.

Then, apply an egg or vanilla white colored eye liner in the lower lash line. This will make your eyes look wider and more awake.

Another trick is to use a glittering eyeliner along the lashes on the lower part of your eyes. That will draw attention to the eyes and make them look brighter and wider.

Step 4: Eye lash curler

This is one of the main tools to make your eyes look bigger. Curl the lashes with an eye lash curler at three places: At the base, in the middle and at the end to get an even curl.

Step 5: Mascara

Avoid using thickening mascara as it can make the eyes look heavy. Apply the mascara as usual.

Hi girls!! Two days ago I posted a blog about my favourite styles summer 09, and I got an e-mail from a girl asking what and how you do to get that beachy wavy hair.

Sometimes it’s better to explain in text, and other times it’s better to explain by showing in film.

But the best is to combine them both, which I found a video that does!

In this video there are also some advise for blondes about how to take care of their beautiful but fragile hair.

Hope you found it interesting, and if you have any more questions, don’t hesitate to ask. You can write your question in the comments below

Hey girls! Do you ever watch those information films on the aircraft about the safety?

This is their new tv commercial.

Hi girls! Here are  some of my my favourite styles for this summer!

Hi girls!

I just saw some pictures that were taken of me a while ago, where my forehead is so shiny it looks like I have a mirror stuck on it reflecting the camera flash!

Ever had similar problem?

Well, there’s nothing you can do about it after the picture is taken, but you can prevent it from happening again:

Try Clarins instant light complexion.

It’s a make up base perfect against shiny complexions. It can be applied either on its own or under foundation. As a make up base it sets your make up and boosts your complexion’s radiance at the same time (it has innovative 3d radiance pigments that optically sculpt the face). It gives a perfect matte finish and the make up lasts longer.

If that’s not enough, or a make up base doesn’t sound like anything for you, I strongly recommend Shiseido ‘Pureness Oil-Control’ blotting papers.

From now on the only thing that will shine on pictures is your smile

Hi there!
