Learn To Love Your Body - Flaws & All
We all have it!!!
Do you think God made mistake when he created you?
God did not make mistake when he created us.
Can you imagine how long it would take God to create Eve if he asked her for her opinion on how to create her body? He probably would be there to this day! :-)
God left some flaws on our body to humble us. Not to destroy us or make us miserable for life. Have you ever met a woman who absolutely loves her body?
The question is not weather you have flaws on not, it's what you do with it that matters.
Low self-esteem and self-criticism are not the answer. If you're not happy with your body you can always re-shape it through healthy eating and exercise.
"Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body". 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 ESV
Read this heartbreaking story of Linda Perez just because she was unable to embrace her flaws.
Here are some ideas about what you can do to love yourself without felling inferior to others.
A Cornell University study shows that 87% of regular-weight women wish they were a size smaller? Nowadays the dissatisfaction of size and/or shape of their bodies are becoming epidemic.
Acknowledge Your Flaws
Trying to avoid, ignoring or pretending they are not there just because you don't want them there, never works!You must acknowledge it's there and get real about it and do something to better yourself. Feeling ashamed, depressed, uncomfortable or potentially negative about yourself is not the answer here. The more you whine and complain the more miserable you'll feel.
Learn To Appreciate Your Body
Even if you don't like your body-shape or agree with it, you must learn to appreciate it because that's the only one you have. Hating your body, being self-judgemental, being really hard on yourself, or felling sorry for yourself does not help either!
Learn To Love Yourself
When you hate a part of you it can scar you for life.It can destroy your self-esteem and confidence. The antidote to fix flaws is to remember that if you do not love your yourself, nobody else will.
Learn when to adorn or not to adorn the parts of your body you're not so trill about, so you can be happy with yourself and have self-freedom to feel fit in the society guiltless.
Avoid Back-Fat Bulge

These two little tricks can do wonder in your appearance.
Try it and let me know what you think.

How To Use Make-Up In The Summer
Spring/Summer to me is all about pretty fun feminine colors
10-Summer Makeup Tips To Avoid Meltdowns, Mask & Cakey Like Effects
Remember in the summer we all face - humidity, sweat and face oils. So we need all the help we can get to look cool but yet beautiful.
Summer to me is all about embracing the essence of your natural beauty, especially if you have a nice golden tan. I like my face to be soft and natural looking, so I can show-off my tan. Summer to me is all about healthy natural glow. Remember in the summer we have to put our best face forward everyday, it's too hot to hide it under your hair. So, you want to make sure you look natural but with a radiant summer glow as well, not just bare boring tired looking face.
As soon as summer months roll in we all look forward to wear less make-up. But wearing less makeup does mean go bear-face. It means we should have a more natural, neat-looking and barely there summer glow makeup. You should lighten up your makeup and have people wondering; is she wearing make-up? Using less makeup allows your skin to breathe and your natural beauty to shine.
Stay away from those heavy makeup that will make your face look heavy and cakey like. By midday you'll have makeup meltdown streaks and running down for face.
1- Wash your face
Start your day by washing your face with a gentle facial cleanser. Pat dry or allow it to air dry.
This ultra gentle cleanser by Neutrogena was the Award Winner of 2013 by Allure readers.
2-Moisturizer with SPF built in
SPF - means sun protection factor just in case you din't know.
Apply it lightly to keep your skin moist and protect from the harsh summer heat.
This Glow moisturizer by Clean & Clear has a very light sparkle to give you a nice healthy summer glow and it only cost $7
3- Light Water-Based Foundation or Powder
Avoid oil-based liquid and cream foundation in the summer. It will make your face look heavy and streaky and will start to run down your face midday. it'll clog you pores and may cause your skin to brake-out. Especially if you have oily skin. Instead use a very light mineral powder foundation with an SPF. Use a Brush and blend it well so it can balance your skin tone.
4- Use Concealer if needed
Use concealer only if you really need it, if you can do without avoid it.
If needed, use it lightly under your eyes, and on blemishes if you have any.
5- Blush
This Too Faced Blush from Sephora is perfect because it has three different beautiful colors that can in all skin tone. And it's a baked color formula, meaning it's more resistant to sweat. keep it soft and natural looking as if you were born with it. :-) No one needs to know, right?
6- Bronzer for a Beautiful Summer Glow
I love bronzer in the summer. It's really pretty in the summer and suits every skin-tone. Brush your bronzer lightly on the apples of your cheeks, your nose, your chin and your hairline. Not too heavy, keep soft looking as if you have a tan.
7- Mate and Satin Eyeshadows
Wearing eyeshadows in the summer is really tough. But these natural soft shimmer colors are really beautiful for summer days. But use it half way around your eyes only, as shown in the picture bellow. Do not apply above your crease, because when you sweat it'll smudge and crack, it'll definitely look a mess.
8- Waterproof mascara and Liner
Waterproof mascara is an ideal for summer because it'll not smudge when you sweat. Just a touch of it will bring your eyes out. Brown shade is softer in the summer. You can also try to use the mascara lightly on the bottom lashes as the liner for a softer look if you want to skip the liner, or you can use waterproof liner as well.
9- Waterproof Mascara and Liner Remover
Waterproof mascara and liner does not come out with soap and water alone. You need this waterproof makeup remover. Any waterproof makeup remover will do the trick. You can also try coconut or olive oil.
10-Use shimmering nude lip gloss or coral and pink lipsticks
If you want a soft look apply a lip balm with an SPF to protect your lips and keep it moist, dab some shimmering eyeshadow on your lips with your finger and then top it with clear, nude, light pink or peach gloss. Or, you can go for these beautiful pink and coral lipstick. I love these colors in the summer. Summer Must Have Coral/Orange/Pink Lipsticks - Hair ...
And remember to keep it beautiful but yet elegant and clean looking so you can look as beautiful as a bright summer day. -:)))

Is It A Fashion Mistakes or A Defense Mechanism
Ohhhhhhhh!!!
What should I do?
Am I living under a simple fashion mistake, a denial or a defense mechanism?
Should I fix my fashion mistakes, get out of my denial, or should I go into a defense mechanism? Now that's the million dollar question?
Who doesn't like to look good?
Every human being caries a desire to look good, it's in our genes.
You should never rely on Media, Magazines or TV shows about fashion produce to rule your lifestyle or wardrobe. Remember those clothes are for models whose jobs are to starve themselves to death in order to be a size "0", and not to mention how extremely overpriced they are!
First impression is based on your appearance! Not your Talent! We have to admit, in today's society ~ clothes does matter. So be smart and make the right choices, so people can judge you for whom you really are. There's no shame in making a fashion mistake. We've all done it, even the celebrities have been know to do it. It's just a bad judgement of the moment, nothing else! So, you just learn from it and move on to a better choice.
What's Fashion Mistake:
Showing too much skin
I like Toni Braxton but showing too much skin is neither pretty nor sexy!!!
Just because celebrities does it - it doesn't make it right. Sorry, but it makes you look cheap and easy...
Muffin Tops
They are not attractive at all!
If you like low-rise jeans make sure it fits properly. Whenever you have these "love handles" bulging out, it means your jeans are too tight. Go a size over, believe or not, you'll look much better. It's not sexy, it makes your legs look shorter and your waist chunkier. I don't think any woman likes that. To me that's a fashion mistake, because it's hurting your beautiful feminine physique.
Being stuck In The Past
Lets face it, we all had a specific period in our lives that we loved our bodies, the size we wore, or the trend of the moment. But we have to acknowledge that everything in life changes. Fashion as well as our bodies. We cannot be stuck in the past. We need to readjust our tastes and styles, by experimenting few shapes and cuts. If you stay stuck in the past it will definitely hold you back from new experiences and looking your best.
Ill Fitting Clothes:
Too big or too small, they are both unattractive.
They both make you look bad.
Don't hide you beautiful shape on the extra folds of your clothes, and don't try to squeeze yourself into something that don't fit you - it makes you look like a sausage!
The purpose of your clothes are to flatter you- by showing your beautiful feminine curves.
Over Accessorize
Believe or not, there is something as too much!
I absolutely love statement pieces, they bring life to any outfit.
You can wear a simple jeans and T-shirt, by simply adding some statement jewelry pieces, you're stylish. Over-doing it, however, is neither stylish nor sexy. It's a mess.
It's definitely a fashion mistake!
Proper underwear
To me panty-lines are the most annoying fashion mistakes!
An ill fitting underware can ruin your entire outfit, and not to mention how unattractive and unpleasant it is. Nobody want to see your G-string or the color of your underware! That's why it's called underware. It's suppose to be under!
What's Defense Mechanism:
Defense mechanism is a shield we put up to protect ourselves from things that we don't want to talk about or deal with. It's either we know its wrong, but we're too proud to admit it - or we think its too hard and bothersome, so we prefer not to deal with it. So we shift into a defense mechanism such as:
➩to think that just your natural beauty is enough
➩to think that just your performance at work is enough
➩ to think that fashion is lame, overrated, unnecessary and just a waste of money
➩ to allow the concept of fashion to rob you of it's enjoyment or overwhelm you to the point of doing nothing to better yourself
➩to go into a Defense Mechanism because you don't know what to do with fashion
➩acting like everyone is jealous of you, that everyone is wrong except you, etc, etc, etc...
"The heart is deceitful about all things, and desperately sick; who can understand it?" Jeremiah 17:9
What should I do?
Am I living under a simple fashion mistake, a denial or a defense mechanism?
Should I fix my fashion mistakes, get out of my denial, or should I go into a defense mechanism? Now that's the million dollar question?

➩being slaves to what media and magazine fashion dictates
➩slaves of so called, high fashion, anti-fashion, counter-culture fashion, suburban mom fashion, etc
➩always stretching your money to buy as many pieces as you can, you'll have lots of clothes but nothing good to wear

How To Know If I Have A Diamond Face
Help!!!!!!!!!
How do I know if I have a Diamond shape-face?
Well, I'm gonna try to make this as simple as possible.
Stand in front of a mirror and pull your hair back, if you're a Diamond,
Your face basically looks like an egg.
Both of my daughters have diamond shape faces; they have beautiful prominent cheekbones.
It's easy! Look at these shapes.
Draw one on a sheet of paper and cut it out. Now standing in front of a mirror, place it on your face and see if it matches the shape of your face.
If you are a diamond, your hairline is narrow, and your jawline comes to a point at your chin. Meaning your cheekbones are wider than your chin and your forehead.
So, what's the best hair style for you?
I'll make it as simple as possible:
Keep your hair loose and don't let it hug your face. Simple as that!
You can style your hair any way you like it, smooth waves, messy texture waves like beach waves, pin straight, or even lots of crazy curls, they can all look good on you with some small adjustments. What adjustments you may ask? You have beautiful cheekbones, why cover it?
Deep side part and push back
If you find it difficult to keep your hair to stay in place, use some mousse at the root before you blow-dry. Also try a zig-zag or a diagonal part instead of straight up, that will help to balance the weight of your hair and help it to stay in place better.
Bangs
Soft draping gentle bangs, and straight across lightly layered fringe like these ones will look great on you.
Long sleek layers
Just like Jennifer Aniston will look great on you
This cut/style is perfect for a diamond or square face shape.
Lots of loose layers keep a diamond face shape open and out of the face.
Ponytails & Updos
Ponytails looks great on you, weather it's high, low or center.
Remember "The" more push back your hair is- the prettier you look
High, low, center or side ways- they all look great on you.
All you need to do is to add a soft bang and VoÃla!
What to avoid:
Avoid heavy bangs
Avoid conehead styles, meaning too much volume at the top of your head.
Too much volume at the top of your head makes you look like an 'egghead' that's what my daughters use to call it when they were small. Whenever I use to style their hair in the ways they didn't like it, they use to cry and said: you made me look --- like an egghead!!! :-)))
Please let me know if these informations were helpful to you, or if you have any more doubts or questions I would like to hear from you.

In order for you hair cut or style to fit the shape of your face perfectly, first you need to know what's your face shape! it's difficult to decide on a hair style, if you don't know what suits your face! Right?
Also check my post on Best Hair Styles for a Diamond-Shape Face

Long Bob

Deep side part and push back
Bangs
