Summer


Hello Everyone...


This is a special post that will help you all with your skin issues.  


I also have an outfit idea here that I wore to go around mid town and uptown Houston...






I went for an edgy look on this outfit.  You can wear it in many different ways.


Dress: Forever 21
Necklace, Ring: Charlotte Russe
Shoes: Dsw shoes
Purse: Louis Vuitton


I wore those same accessories to a different outfit.  This could be a edgier look, and the detailing in this outfit makes it stand out.  The lace, studs, chains completes this look.


Summer tip:  I have researched and found some useful info for all of you....
You can visit http://www.makeup.com or here is what it says.


  If you have: Dry, damaged, dull skin
Try: Blueberry Antioxidant Face Mask
Why it works: Blueberries are packed with powerful antioxidants that target free radicals, which can wreak havoc on skin cells. They also hold ellagic acid, a powerful polyphenol that can actually reduce inflammation and skin thickening caused by previous sun damage, and ingredients that can protect skin from future wrinkles caused by UVB rays. Meanwhile, yogurt provides lactic acid for gentle exfoliation and smoothing, and lemon helps brighten the skin.
Ingredients:


  • 8 to 10 blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon plain yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ¼ cup finely ground coffee, preferably espresso roast
  • ¼ cup cocoa powder
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • ¼ cup plain whole yogurt or sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • ½ cup fresh strawberries
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1 egg white


Mash blueberries together with the yogurt and lemon juice. After cleansing, spread the entire mixture on your face, neck, and chest, avoiding the area around your eyes. Leave it on for 15 minutes, then rinse well with lukewarm water and pat skin dry.
If you have: Blackheads and clogged pores
Try: Espresso Face Mask
Why it works:The milk and coffee contain naturally occurring acids that help rid your skin of surface debris and dead skin cells, and the cocoa powder helps condition and soothe your complexion.  Added bonus: Caffeine instantly firms skin.
Ingredients:
Stir all of the ingredients together until you have a smooth paste. Spread the entire mixture over your face and neck, avoiding your eye area. Leave on for 15 minutes, then rinse well with lukewarm water.
 If you have: Redness and sensitive skin
Try: Soothing Facial Mask
Why it works: Whole milk yogurt is full of natural fats and proteins that cool and calm irritated skin,making this a great mask for soothing post-beach skin or sunburns. As a natural humectant, honey provides extra moisture and nourishment.
Ingredients:
Stir yogurt and honey together until smooth. Spread the mixture over your face, neck, or any other irritated or sunburned area. Leave on for 15 minutes, then rinse well with lukewarm water.
If you have: Acne or breakouts
Try: Fresh Strawberry Mask
Why it works: Strawberries contain salicylic acid, which is a key ingredient in many over-the-counter acne medications. They gently exfoliate skin while the honey kills bacteria that may be causing the inflammation. Additionally, egg white instantly tightens pores and creates a matte finish.
Ingredients:
Put all of the ingredients in a blender on high speed until smooth. Spoon the mixture into a clean container with a tight-fitting lid and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week. Spread over your face, neck, chest, back, and shoulders (or anywhere else you may have breakouts). Leave on for 20 minutes, then rinse well with lukewarm water.
Expert: Cox
I hope this will help your skin this summer season.

                    Here are few looks I can't get enough of






Catch you all later...Enjoy...<3

Tired of the same old look?

Hello my wonderful readers!!

I had such a long day today!! Had so many things to do. Actually my friend is getting married tomorrow, so had to run a lot of places to get things done, plus I had to get my outfit ready for the temple(church) part and the reception. And had to get my sister's outfit together too. So...basically I was just running around!!

Another thing I wanted to share with you is about the festival going on in my culture. Some of my readers are celebrating, and know about this but my other readers might find it interesting. I also wanted to expose a little bit of my culture through my blog :)

This festival is called Dashain and is 10 days long. In short it is like Christmas for us, very big and special. We celebrate it with our families and friends, and tomorrow will be the main day to seek blessing from elders. We play cards, eat a lot of food, party, wear nice and new clothes, etc.. If you want to know more about dashain visit
www.visitnepal.com, and search for Dashain.

Now lets get to the fun part of this blog, ARE YOU TIRED OF WEARING THE SAME STYLE EVERYDAY?
I am sure everyone owns a pair of shorts, a simple top, and converse. So instead of wearing it just like that and plain, SPICE IT UP LADIES!!




You can spice up your simple top and shorts with some black tights. It makes the outfit sexier but at the same time the converse gives it an edgier look. You can find this tight at any clothing store at the mall.



You can add a little flavor to your outfit by adding the waist coat.



You can also add accessories to your outfit which will add up that extra fun to your look.







Are you also tired of just wearing that shirt you own with some jeans? You can modify your look by wearing it with some black leggings and sinching your plain shirt with some belt to give it a more sophisticated and girly look, shown by my sister here. Also, add accessories of your choice!!





I hope you will like this look, and will be able to try it!! I am sure you have all these items in your closet, and they just need to be worn a little differently!! :)
Happy Dashain to Everyone. Enjoy

XOXO
