They also drink green tea, which is one of the main things in their beauty. Using green, white, yellow or oolong tea in your diet is a wise move if you want to do a good thing for your health and beauty, these teas are rich with antioxidants, which help us to combat free radicals, whose harmful effects are reflected in diseases, malignantdiseases, dermatological diseases, and premature aging.

Ivory Coast: African women rely on amazing properties of sheabutter to moisturise the skin and use Rooibos tea as a natural substance that keeps skin young by using large amounts of antioxidants that tea contains.
Italy: For long, thick and strong lashes Italian women use castor oil (apply on the hair roots), and use it for strengthening hair and nails and regenerating dry skin. Women in Italy know the value of olive oil and use it to moisturise their lips, hair and body.

Israel: Women in Israel use black mud for beauty, which is also great for our health (treating skin diseases and helping people who have arthritis).Black mud, Israel specialists of climatology, pull out from the bottom of the Dead Sea, and it contains a lot of minerals which nourish the skin and regenerate it.

Philippines: Here, women use aloe vera gel to strengthen the hair (apply on the hair roots). Also, they use a mixture of fresh grated ginger and finely chopped lime as a remedy for dry skin.

Belgium: Belgium mink oil is popular in cosmetics and is used to reduce stretch marks and other skin irregularities. The oil is great for hydration too, even hair.

Spain: To obtain beautiful, shiny highlights, women in Spain wash their hair using half a cup of mineral water mixed with half cup of cranberry juice.

Kina: Kako bi imale lepu, snažnu i sjajnu kosu Kineskinje je ispiraju mešavinom ruzmarina, vode i zelenog čaja. Zeleni čaj i ispijaju, i on je još jedan razlog njihovog mladolikog izgleda. Uključivanje zelenog, belog, žutog ili oolong čaja u svoju ishranu je mudar potez ako jednim udarcem želite učiniti dobro za svoje zdravlje i lepotu, jer su ti čajevi bogati antioksidansima, koji nam pomažu u borbi sa slobodnim radikalima, čije se štetno delovanje očitava u bolestima, malignim oboljenjima, dermatološkim bolestima, i preranom starenju.

Egipat: Lep izgled počinje s biserno belim zubima. Žene u Egiptu koriste kombinaciju sode bikarbone, soli i soka od limuna kako bi iščetkale zube za savršen osmeh. Ovo je efikasan način izbeljivanja zuba, ali ne smete ga koristiti više od jednom nedeljno kako ne biste oštetili zubnu gleđ.

Obala Slonovače: Afričke žene se oslanjaju na neverovatna svojstva shea maslaca kako bi koži podarile hidrataciju i koriste Rooibos čaj kao prirodno sredstvo koje održava kožu mladom pomoću velikih količina antioksidansa koje čaj sadrži.

Italija: Za dugačke, guste i jake trepavice Italijanke koriste ricinusovo ulje (vatinim štapićem nanesite na koren dlake), a koriste ga i za jačanje kose i noktiju i obnavljanje suve kože. Italijanke veoma dobro znaju i vrednost maslinovog ulja i koriste ga za hidrataciju usana, kose i tela.

Izrael: Žene u svrhu lepote koriste crno blato, koje pomaže i zdravlju (leči kožne bolesti i pomaže ljudima koji imaju artritis). Crno blato izraelski specijalisti klimatologije izvlače s dna Mrtvog mora i ono sadrži niz minerala koji hrane kožu i obnavljaju je. Filipini: Ovde žene koriste Aloe vera gel za jačanje kose tako što ga utrljaju u koren dlake. Isto tako koriste mešavinu sveže naribanog đumbira i sitno naseckane limete kao lek za suvu kožu.

Belgija: Iako će se zaštitnici životinja na ovo naježiti, u Belgiji je ulje nerca popularno u kozmetici i koristi se za smanjivanje strija i drugih nepravilnosti kože. Ulje je odlično za hidrataciju kože, čak i kose.

Španija: Kako bi dobile lepe, sjajne pramenove brinete ispiraju kosu koristeći pola šoljice mineralne vode pomešano sa pola šoljice soka od brusnice.

Indija: Kokosovo i bademovo ulje se među Indijkama koriste u izdašnim količinama zbog svojih svojstava hidratacije (za celo telo). I ne samo to, kokosovo ulje podstiče rast kose, dok je bademovo ulje odličan za suvu i oštećenu kosu.

"Fashion and art!"

Recently I gave noticed that fashion could be connected to art.


When designers use flowing and chiffon and delicate and soft colours that screams romance and love it brings to mind the romantic art movement which I have been studding recently and it was while I was looking I found that there was a lot of this included and it looked so graceful and beautiful and of course romantic in a strange sort of way. I don't know if this influences designers or not but its so should as its perfects to inspire anyone!

I think this is the best representation of what I am trying to get across!

I am happy to know if you agree or not. Or even have something to add.

Marilyn Monroe

Miss Marilyn Monroe is one of the most iconic actresses of all time and her fashion inspired people all over the world and to this day people still remember her for clutching her floaty white dress as it blow up! she has been a fashion icon and inspiration for years with her classy yet cheeky look. Marilyn Monroe is still to this day a fashion inspiration for lots of designer and people. She brings out the best of fashion in the 40s and 50s which I have expressed before as being one of my favorite eras!

Hollister Delights!

I went to the shopping center blue water and one of the places I was eager to go was Hollister there was so much things all really nice things in there that I couldn't get enough of. But one thing that caught my eye was the very wright now knittted cardigan! which I just loved! They sold out fast but I was lucky enough to get the last one! I just love it and I will be wearing all the time! I think if you get it now it would be worth the price as its quite a good investment because you can wearing through out the winter month while being in fashion and being warm at the same time!

Sorry this post was meant to go out a few days ago but i had some technical difficulties and i will be doing another post later today!

H&M with Versace

The new Versace line in h&m is finally out and the celeb in London are going are crazy for the new line in the shops and the stock is running out fast. some of the pieces are a little prices but a lot are worth the money! one of my Favorite pieces is a little black jacket with a vibrant pattern! Go to your nearest store and take a look for yourself!   

My answers to some questions I've received :)

I haven't been writing recently, and I'm sorry because of that.... But I'm here to fix it :)
I've checked my e-mail (which is PinkkBu@gmail.com btw), which I haven't done for months, and I saw so many messages with girls/guys asking me for advice...
I know it's late to answer, but 'better late than never'! Enjoy!


1.
Hey, I saw your blog, and it's pretty amazing... You look like a smart girl so I need your advice.
Well, my name is Maria and I'm 15 years old. This September I started going to highschool and I still can't accept new friends (especially girls). Guys are okay, we hang out after school, play basketball, or go to skate park where we chill... There is always someone to tell me that I'm wrong for being with guys, and I don't know the reason for that. I want to make friends with girls, but they always talk about boys and boyfriends, and my (let's call it) problem is that I actually TALK to boys!
Is this wrong?

I think that you already know the answer ;) If you have more fun with boys than with girls, than you already made your choice ;) And i, personally, think that guy friends are better than girlfriends :)
Something that can (and other girls can't) is talking without fear in boy presence ;) Trust me, soon you'll be thankful for making this choice ;) xoxo

2.
I need your opinion... I kissed one guy, I was half drunk, and I didn't know what I was doing. Now he wants to be with me. What should I do? :(


I think that you don't wanna be with him in relationship, so don't! Why do I think that? Well, you wouldn't send me e-mail if it's different ;) Just trust yourself. Talk to him, be nice, and he will understand that you made a mistake. Ask him if he wants to be friends, if he doesn't leave it that way, if he says 'yes' than don't ignore him. You might actually surprise if he's a nice guy ;) xoxo

3.
I've been five months in relationship with one girl. But her complexes are really annoying. Why can't she understand that she looks beautiful and that she IS beautiful to me? I wouldn't be with her if I don't like her. 


Trust me, every single girl on this planet has complex issue ;) Some of them just can't hide that they are insecure ;) Try to talk with her. Tell her what you said to me, and I think she'll finally understand ;) Don't be afraid to tell her how important she is to you :) xoxo

4.
Hey hey :) First of all: great blog! And I think you should post more frequently :)
I need your advice... I have an eating disorder... I'm 16 and I'm bulimic :( Something inside of me tells me that I'm doing wrong things, but I can't stop... i'm so afraid of food, of eating, and when i do eat, I run to bathroom :( I can't tell my parents (they wouldn't understand me, they would just make me nervous)... What to do? help girl!


I know exactly how you feel.... i've been suffering from bullimia for months now :( I know I'm not good example for others that read this, but here's what I did: First of, I told my bestie about it, she hold my hand and told me that we will make through it together. That I went to school psychologist and talked with her. She's not allowed to tell anyone, and she made me a meal plan. I would eat 2-3 bites of any food every hour at first, than 5-6 bites, than more and more, until i finally get to this point where I actually eat normally. I have those moments when i want to purge... sometimes I do it, but most of the times i control myself. I think self control is the most important thing. Be strong girl! xoxo

5.
How to talk with a guy? I never knew what to say. In what are they interested?


Well, it depends... Most of the guys like talking about sport, girls or betting. Some of them are interested in comics, video games, computer, cars, etc. If there's special person you want to talk with, first find out what he likes :) Than search about it, and start conversation :) it's not that hard, just have self confidence when you talk with boys :) they don't like insecure girls :) xoxo

6.
I know that I'm not pretty outside... but i'd like to look as prettiest as i can. Any tips?


I don't think it's okay that you say that about yourself ;) i bet you ARE pretty :)
But to answer to your question: Make up is there to enhance your features not to hide them ;) Also, find out if curly or straight hair looks better on you, or is it ponytail or fishtail that looks the best? Always dress pretty! I always say that clothes is the most important :) just let it be clean and well combined ;) Nothing else :) Oh, and: SMILE! all the time ;) xoxo

7.
Hi, it's Ann here (: How's you healthy life going? Did you get into perfect shape? How do you feel now? Are you planning to post some recipes? :)


Hey :) Well... my healthy life stopped being healthy life few months ago... I've become bulimic, but I'm trying to control myself not to purge :) It's been great for past few weeks :)
As matter of weight, I've gained... A lot of bad things happened to me since July... But yesterday i decided that it's time to get myself to perfection! And I won't quit! :) Now I'm getting back on track ;) xoxo

Sexy Seventies!

I love the whole sexy seventies glamour. Bright colours and psychedelic patterns and oversized sunglasses and flared jeans and all things bright!
I adore the floral flower head band! I love everything about seventies fashion everything is so bright and vibrant!

You can see how different but so "now" the seventies were by looking at this 70s Vogue cover.

WestField Shopping Center

Yesterday I got the C2C train and then the underground to the new WestField in Stratford. I was surprised how small the shopping center was and how there wasn't the three main department stores: Debenhams, BHS and Houses of Frasier. I was happy with the other main shops like New Look, Forever 21, River Island, Topshop, Miss Selfridge,Dorthy Perkins and Holister (Which I didn't go in due to the stupidly long Que to get in!). 
I was also delighted to see their was a few interdependent one off shops which may and I hope will expand!
The Food court was fine but really hard to get a seat and not enough coffee shops for such a busy and I mean busy place!
I didn't buy Much I only bought from new look and I bought:

I also bought a neckless but couldn't find a picture.

Over all WestField was okay but didn't live up to expectations of what they had advertise. It was hard to find your way around and not enough places to eat or grab a coffee. The shops were nice but I was disappointed in the lack of department stores.

Go up and have a look for yourself and tell me what you think!

Versace for H&M

The news is out that Versace has designed a line of clothing and accessories for the high-street shop. I have taken a look and it looks fantastic! 
All the pieces are unique, contemporary and innovative and are perfect for the up coming party season and hits all the main trends this season.  There are lots of fantastic party dresses which would blow away the red carpet press as well as our always favorite classic party dresses! If you are feeling out there then you should try the loud, bright and statement print which are used on the tights tops and other staetment pieces. If you like the rock chick then take a look the fab leather jackets which are all right on trend and I just I love. 

Statement Spots

Spots the spots are in this seasons and they are BIG! 

Spots are hitting the high street and there everywhere from top and blouses to well boots, But if used right are fab! Don't over do the spots put on a spotty chiffon blouse with some skinny jeans and a long gold neckless and and spotty hand band tie. Which would look stunning! 

Winter Warmers!

Its starting to get cold which means its time to buy our new cozy coats! This season there are lots of great and fashionable coats there are lots of different styles which are so in this season.


For a business women or you if like a sophisticated style these coats are gorgeous:

For a more causal and younger look this coat fits the bill perfectly and if you get it in green it will never go out of style:

For a designer and high end fashion feel go for a leather coats (thought I don't recommend going out in the snow or rain init!):

  Okay hopes this help and keeps you warm this winter!
(unless you live in a Australia then i wouldn't bother buying a coat!)  
Till next time! X

Dress Dreams!

I was watching fashion show today when I saw this fantastic number! It has a great winter feel and will be great for nights out this up coming party season! I just love it and will be buying it very soon! Its so classy and sophisticated yet still casual enough to go to a party in! I think its the one to have this winter! 

 This dress is from quiz:

Fashion Fall Trends 2011 - from fashionising.com

*Everything (trends and pictures) are from fashionsing.com, but I'll give you my opinion too :) Enjoy!

First of all, burnt color will be very popular this Fall.
For both, female and male, but I prefer orange more than this color. I don't like dirty Fall-ish colors.
ex: if you have t-shirt this color, you can wear it with black jeans, black heels, and black leather jacket, it would look perfect on anyone! I would wear this too, even tho i don't like this color. So everything is in how you style it, be smart! ;)



Themes for this fall are:


- 70's Fashion 
*which I don't like at all, but some people look really good with 70's outfit, make up and hair*
Next one is:

- Oriental Fashion
*This is perfect combination, as fashionsing.com wrote: '...incorporating simple flowing silks and fluttering kimonos, styled with the right degree of subtlety, rounded out by fresh orchids as hair accessories and a beauty look that’s softly exotic yet very much played down.'

Plunging neckline

Plunging neckline is deep cut V that ends somewhere between the breastbone and the naval. This type of clothes are glamorous. Yet, it doesn't look good on everyone. I think that only skinny women can pull this outfit on. I tried to wear shirt with plunging neckline, and it doesn't look good on me either. So don't worry, there are more trends that may look great (even amazing) on you! Don't be afraid to try :)
Here are some pictures for the same site:

    

Pleats

Pleats were also trend for Spring 2011, but neither than nor now, I don't like them. 'Cause longer dresses are popular, and I think that this trend is better on shorter dresses, like this one:

Fur

Here it goes again: FUR!

One of my favorite trends so far. It's warm and good looking, what else do we need?

Check out some pictures:

    

Women's tuxedo

Okay, I don't like this trend either. Why? Because I think that men should wear tuxedos, not women. Women should be elegant (in dresses, skirts, skinny jeans, etc...) But maybe you like it? What's your opinion?

Bell bottoms

Bell bottoms are BACK IN ACTION :) I like this trend, 'cause I like how outfit like this looks on me, but I think that it doesn't look good on most of the people in this world. Try it, and tell me do you like it or not? :)

Wide leg pants

My opinion: Pretty pretty pretty! Maybe you don't like it or hate it, but you have to admit that it looks good ;)

Sheer maxi dress

There are some pretty outfits that I like, but I'm not crazy about this trend. To be honest: It doesn't look good. There is something about these long sheer dresses than doesn't look elegant on woman.

What do you think:

How do you like these trends for Fall 2011? They aren't anything special, right? Agree with me? or you really like it? :) Feel free to request posts, and leave comment ;) 

P.S. Sorry I've been MIA, I didn't have that much time to blog. I'm back now, but I will post once-twice a week only :) Love you all <3 Thanks for visiting me, and thank you for 11000+ views! Don't forget to follow :)
