Smiles can be contagious.





Instructions:
Read the above carefully.

1.Understand
&
2.Practice.






We stand there, in front the mirror, applying a base and a coat, sheen and some shimmer, eyeliner for some glamour, a lipstick for some drama. We use brushes and some tools; we hope to achieve a signature look. We sit and we scrutinize, we observe and we criticize.



Ladies, there is just one valuable tool, and that tool cannot be bought. That tool is a gem that you must find and then treasure, that diamond will leave you with an everlasting glow, and that tool is your grace and your smile. That device that attracts us to your beauty is your charismatic smile that will transform your contagious charm which will then be seen inside and out.



The definition of beauty comes from within, deep inside your soul. Your heart, your smile, and your grace. The way you walk, the style you talk, the ambitions you have, the kind of life you live, thanking God for each imperfection that makes you this special beauty everybody wished they had.



Let us not only be remembered for our beauty, for each and everyone of us holds a certain beauty that is unique to us, but lets be remembered for our personality, for our kindness, for our character, for our patience. Lets be women of great inspirations that hold with them a list of good deeds. Lets be the women of loveliness and elegance. Lets be the women of great change. Lets be the women who live a life to make their dreams come true. Lets be the women who help the ones in need, lets be the women of 2011 with uncontrollable beams.




Lets make the right choices, do the right things, be the greatest we can.




Lets eat heart marshmallows and spread the love to inspire our world!

off to la La laNd...



When times get tough you just want to escape the exaggerated world, do your own thing, come face to face with your conscious and subconscious in a place where imagination does not recognize limits, and for some of us, escape the noisy lot!! ;) Hahaha!

Well lets face it, fashion & other things do add on to a whole load of positiveness and when looking for inspiration, some of us go to not only fashion but the people of fashion, that crowd, those icons, people behind the brands while, some of us try to conclude the deeper meaning behind the books we read, the shows we see, the experiences we went through, the flashbacks we live through, the repeated conversations in our mind, the hurtful memories that pushes us forward and tells us never to look behind....

Below, I jotted down some things that meant something to me while reading, watching, writing and being INSPIRED...

Vivienne Westwood


" I've got a category called "all these other things", which I hardly ever get time to do but I do make time whenever I can to read. I don't go on holiday, and I don't do things, I just read and go to museums and I think thats all what these other things are about. My manifesto is about me having to try and communicate these things because after all that investment in trying to understand how the world could be a better place I think its sane and not arrogant in anyway, I think its wonderful to tell people what I think is important and thats what my manifesto is all about, how people can change the world."





Daphne Guinness

HOw do you achieve fashion originality?
I never follow trends and I don't believe in must-haves. Once something is labeled a must-have, I lose interest. Why should anyone tell us what we must-have?



Louise Grey

Inspiration strikes where?
In your heart first.
Where do you get your inspiration?
I like the idea of people obsessed with seeing whats really around them and then allowing themselves to dream.


Gossip Girl

"They say that the universe has a great sense of humor that sometimes having your dreams come true can feel like a nightmare, because getting what you want always comes with strings attached & even when you think you're finally in the clear your never home free"


Rebecca Moses

Stylish People are courageous.
People who live a life of style are passionate about how they communicate and live their style. Fashion dosen't dictate to them. They select fashion based on their style needs. They define their own beauty, create their own trends. They love their imperfect nose, the texture of their hair; they accentuate their long legs or pale skin; they vacation where they want to be rather than migrate with the masses, for they know who they are and what they love. They define personal style. Stylish people believe in themselves, and are willing to take risks. They have a huge sense of self confidence; they maintain their beliefs and endure any criticism of who they are. They do not blend into a crowd... rather they stand out from it.

Treat Of the Day

Some days are just pretty by themselves, with a good chat with a close friend, or sipping your most favored coffee, or even spending time alone... but then come other days where you are surprised as those days are such which come accompanied by
"Treat Of the Day" fun and cute stuff.

This ritual of mine started a year or two ago where when I love something fun, quirky, anything that inspires me, makes me smile or something I can relate to I buy, or when someone else does something sweet for me I call it my "Treat of the day" because it made me smile!

Today's treat was this Lulu Guinness book that I am in love with to bits!

I'll share the introduction paragraph by Lulu as i find inspiring and i hope it can inspire you...

"Lulu is a fictional character, based on myself, except that she is timeless, ageless, and has long legs i can only dream of possessing. Through her I am trying to encourage you to live life with wit and wisdom, and to find the confidence to create an individual style for yourself on the outside and-- perhaps most important of all-- to have a good heart on the inside. Put on your pearls, Girls is meant to inspire you and to be proud of your femininity and to laugh at yourself with others."

"Put on your pearls on girls"

Inside the book
Tips and Notes
Glam Advice!
Lessons from LuLu
So True!
I never forget to, not one day
I thank you for this treat of the day
