My motto in life

The motto in life that represents me is: "The early bird catches the worm"

This motto is firs recorded in John Ray's A collection of English proverbs 1670,1678:"The early bird catches the worm".The title of the work indicates that this was considered proverbial even in th 17th century.

For me this means that success comes to those who prepare well and put in effort,if you start something early,you stand a better chance of success.

The guide to hand-picking the right earrings

In this post i decided to do something new,something different from the other posts...something about...let's call it: "bling-bling".Since every women/girl weres earrings,I decided to write about them,about how should a girl choose here earrings for here face shape.

A ROUND face you'll want to choose lobe bling that elongates and adds a little angle to your face. Try long, narrow earrings with a wee bit of curve that draw the eye downward instead of in a circle. Square, oblong and rectangular earrings are also options, as are dangling and angular earrings.
Don't use: circular earrings, such as hoops, as well as tiny studs and button earrings.

An OVAL face doesen't needs too much. This almost "ideal" face shape finds its width at the cheek bones and tapers smoothly in either direction, with a chin slightly slimmer than the forehead. Almost anything goes for an oval-facer, so grab that spiraled dangly pair, slide in a pair of classic studs, look cute in button earrings, or go wild with more elaborate, dazzling looks.Avoid sporting a too-long face, don't wear incredibly long shapes that will just pull you down.

The HEART-shaped face, characterized by a wide forehead, stunning cheekbones and a tiny cherubic chin, require earrings that mimic the face's shape, but upside-down. Chandelier and teardrop earrings, as well as triangular earrings that have the tapered point at the top, work well to broaden the chin and narrow the forehead. Even circular and oval earrings will work with your face shape, so long as they don't taper as they descend.
Don't use: earrings that mirror your face shape, such as those that come to a point at the bottom, or, obviously, heart-shaped hoops.



SQUARE AND ANGULAR

If your face is accented by a strong, square jaw line and an angular forehead that are close to the same width, you have yourself a square face shape. Add a little length to that visage, and you're rectangular. For earrings, you're in need of a pair that will soften your features, taking a dash of edge off your look.As long as you avoid harsh angles and square shapes, you can wear just about anything in the earring category. Hoops and curved edges will add the necessary roundness, and drop earrings, long tear drops, or multi-tiered dangling earrings will give a square shape some length. If you fall in the rectangular category, avoid much length, tossing in the shoulder-kissing drops for wider, circular shapes or thicker earrings that give your long face some width.

Hope that this post about earrings is helpful to you,and advices you well when you go to buy a new pair of earrings regardless if they are: hoops,teardrop or chandelier.

Fringe style for your face shape

From the runway to the red carpet, bangs have made a major comeback. this fall. Check out and try on the latest celebrity styles, and keep these pro tips in mind when searching for a new fringe style.

Face Shape:
Square
Best Bang Styles: Consider a "curtain" bang, which is a long bang style that can be center parted so it swoops down each side of your face. This shape can soften a large forehead and also draw attention away from a prominent jaw line. Heavy side swept bangs will also look beautiful on you and help add softness to a very defined facial structure.
Try these styles: Mandy Moore, Kim Cattrall, Anne Hathaway

I like Mandy Moore hairstyle beacuse its a perfect style for here square face.The hairstyle (cut & colour) makes here face look more oval that square.

Face Shape:
Round
Best Bang Styles: Gently layered or angular bangs work wonders to minimize the fullness of a round face, not to mention they highlight a great pair of eyes. Avoid a too-severe blunt cut bang style, which can add more width to your face.
Try these styles: Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Hudson, Christina Ricci

I have a round face to,and my hairstyle is about the same as Cameron's Diaz style,the difference is the lenght and colour.

Face Shape:
Oval
Best Bang Styles: In general, oval faces are the most versatile, especially when it comes to bangs. Because of the even proportions of the length and width of your face, you can go with any fringe style from blunt to wispy, so it's more of an aesthetic choice. Blunt transmits a confident, bold look, while wispy lends a girly, more romantic quality.
Try these styles: Ashley Tisdale, Jesssica Alba, Kelly Rowland

Jessica's hairstyle is very easily maintained and the bang can be worn how is in the picture or as Cameron's Diaz style.

Face Shape:
Heart
Best Bang Styles: Reigning in the wideness of cheeks on a heart-shaped face can easily be achieved with long, layered or chipped bangs. Our favorite technique is to unevenly part these feathered bangs, so they are lightly scattered across your forehead.
Try these styles: Reese Witherspoon, Katie Holmes, Eva Longoria


Katie Holms has a classic bob look which shows here best features.

What face shape are you?

When changing to a new look,it's the shape of youre face along with your hair type and texture,that is the most important factor to consider.Almost evrything you read in a magazine asks you to determine your face shape in order to determine which hair style looks good on you or which colors.

The ideal face shape model is considered to be the face with the smooth shapes of the forehead,cheekbones,lower jaw and chin fitting into the imaginary oval.
There are 4 basic shapes,each with its own distinct charateristics.Very few people fall into "pure" type categories,but more often the predominant shape will be recognisable.

1. OVAL FACE SHAPE: This is considered the perfect face shape because it is symmetrical.An oval face shape will have wider cheekbones and then narrow down to the jaw line and chin.Oval face shape will also be narrow up towards the forehead.

2.HEART-SHAPED FACE SHAPE : A heart-shaped face is very unigue.It will be broader at the forehead and then taper into a small,narrow chin.

3.PEAR-SHAPED FACE SHAPE: A pear-shapes face will be wider at the cheeks and jaw but have a narrow forehead.

4.SQUARE FACE SHAPE: A square face is commnon.It will be equally wide at the forehead,cheeks and jaw line.

5.ROUND FACE SHAPE: Round face shapes are fuller and will usually look younger than they are.It will have a round forehead and round chin,with wide full cheeks.

6.LONG FACE SHAPE: A long face shape is similar to an oval face shape but has higher cheek bones and a high forehead.

In addition to face shape,there are other considerations on balancing facial features such as your height,size and position of the ears and nose,and the size of the forehead for obtaning a great look.

Beauty in the eye of the beholder

In my first post i'ved posed a quote:

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

,for my point of view that is true.What is considered beautiful in one country or time period may be completely different from what is considered beautiful somewhere else.
In nowdays in Romania a girl is considered beautiful when she is tall,slim and tand. Fifty years ago being tan wasn’t nearly so popular, and women tried to be much more curvy.
In fact, Marilyn Monroe would have been considered overweight by today’s standards.















In the picture the girls are part of the Karen people in Burma. When they are about 5-6 years old they begin wearing these rings around their necks. As they get older, more and more rings are added, pushing the ribcage down and making the neck look longer. A woman generally has about twenty or more rings around her neck. These women are considered beautiful in there culture.






These women is part of the Massai tribe in Africa. Massai women wear long dangly earrings, as many as five or six, suspended from very stretched out earlobe holes. They also shave their heads so they can carry things on them.













Thousands of miles away from the border of Burma and Thailand, the Maori people of New Zealand practice a sacred beauty ritual—tattooing.These indigenous people, who are of Polynesian descent, believe women are more attractive when their lips and chins are tattooed. A woman with full, blue lips is considered the most beautiful and desirable.



For the women of the Karo tribe in southern Ethiopia, beauty is literally skin deep. During childhood, girls allow their elders to cut scars onto their stomachs.

"The main reason for my scars is to attract a male that will give me joy, because I will be beautiful and hopefully get a husband," says one girl during her Taboo interview.

Once a Karo girl has received the last of her scars, she's allowed to marry and have children.




A Mursi woman from the Omo Valley in southern Ethiopia is adorned with face markings and a lip plate, considered signs of beauty among the Mursi.














In India, women take a more natural approach to beauty,some use homemade remedies to beautify themselves. On her wedding day, an Indian bride may use a mixture of turmeric, lemon and honey on her skin to achieve a glowing complexion. Brides also wear special clothing and jewelry, including a forehead chain, on their special days. A dot of red powder on the face—known as a kumkum—is also thought to make a woman more attractive.
