ONE WORD, AND YOU CAN BE THE SHOPPING QUEEN(SMARTER SHOPPING)!

Hey my missunderstood friends!! It's been really a long time, by I'm back for a quick tip that I'm sure you will love! It has actually helped me a lot, and I find this tip simply phenomenal. I was watching a TV show that's related to fashion issues, and the host talked about it, so I thought that it would have been a great idea to share it with you!




So, I will tell you a quick story about my closet just to get you into the right mood. I go for shopping and it's like almost every clothe that I like, speaks to me, and tells me to take it home! I know it sounds so very crazy and weird, but it's true! And, so I end up having a full closet that's ready to explode from the big amount of stuff that's in there. If this story reminds you yourselves, and you keep buying stuff you don't need or you don't use that much,then you're probably missing something or your doing something wrong!

How to shop right?
Here's the deal. If you keep in mind just one word, things may get a bit easier the next time you will go shopping. And the word is.... B.A.S.E.!!!! Oh yeah,this is the keyword for the good buying behavior. It's clearly and acronym, and here is how it works!

B: Body appropriate. The first thing you've got to notice in a dress, a skirt, a jean, a T-shirt etc. it's its fitting on you. If it makes you feel uncomfortable, or it's just not you, then maybe it's not the right one. So, always go with the one that's made just for you and no one else.

A: Age appropriate. Here we've got a complicated issue, because women tend to go a lit bit extreme. If a cloth is perfect on you, but hides your age, then I'm sorry to tell you that, but you have to go for another. Most of the women tend to get dressed up younger than they should. I actually find that many women go the opposite and dress older because they’re so worried about the “too young” factor. Show your age girls, and nothing will be wrong, I promise!

S: Situation appropriate. Another hard situation. Your piece completes the two steps mentioned before, but when you think again you have little chances to wear it. Here it depends on you. If you can afford it and you don't care about the cost go for it, otherwise, it's a bit risky because probably it's gonna stay in your wardrobe forever!

E: Expense appropriate. Finally, ask yourself some questions. Is it value for money? Can I afford it? Do I have another item in my closet that can replace the item that I wanna buy?


I've tried this tip and I must admit that it has helped me. So, if you wanna get rid of the unnecessary expenses, give it a chance and try it!

HOW TO KEEP THE HAIR DYE VIBRANT?

You go to the hairdresser and get the best possible hair dye! Your hair looks fantastic. So shinny, so healthy, so amazing. But, good things don’t last forever! If you just keep washing them the way you do, the color will last for two weeks approximately. I’m a red hair and it drives me crazy when the color fades out. To prevent this situation and to extend the color “life” follow carefully those tips!

1.If it is the first time you are dying your hair with this color it would have been better if you went to a professional, because on your own you may mess things up!

2. After coloring your hair, wait 24-48 hours to help lock it in further.

3.Sun protection! Sun is an enemy in that case, so be sure you are wearing a hat or in summer a hair sun protector.

4.Cold water. I know it’s hard but try to wash your hair with cold water. Warm water opens up the cuticle whereas cold water helps seal it. Especially, if you have red hair it will help prevent the color from slipping out.

5.There’s no need to mention that the shampoo you’re using must be color-safe. There are also shampoos with color depending on your hair color. For example if you are a red hair, like me, you can use a shampoo that has red colour.

6.Don’t forget the glaze! A glaze will keep your dye looking shiny and fresh in between colorings.

7.In case you want to dye next time your hair at home, be sure you are using a product that is professional. Recommendations are a good solution.

BRIGHTER AND WIDER EYES NOW!

To get brighter and wider eyes simply and quickly apply one thin coat of mascara to both upper and lower lashes.For a more dramatic look, allow the first coat to dry completely and then apply a second coat concentrating on the base of the lash.

To have a more successful result feel free to follow those two tips!

1.For a real eye-opener, use an eyelash curler before applying mascara, curl gently at the base of the lashes, but never beyond the center of the lashes.Don't clamp down on one spot for too long or you will get a sharp angle.

2.Secondly,don't pump the applicator wand in the mascara tube.Doing so will trap air inside and cause the mascara to dry out.Instead,twist the wand to collect more mascara on the brush.

THAT'S HONEY,HONEY!

Honey is probably one of the best products to use if you have skin problems,if you want to get rid of acne or if you simply want to have a beautiful,clean and healthy skin every single day.


But what makes honey so special?Honey helps the skin hold moisture in.It contains amino acids, which help the skin retain its essential moisture. In addition, the sugar content in honey makes it an excellent humectant.

Honey makes also a great exfoliant. It contains mild alpha hydroxy acids, such as gluconic acid. These acids are very safe to use on skin and can loosen bonds between the dead skin cells, making it easier to shed this dead layer. 

These acids also increase elasticity, balance out oily skin, stimulate collagen production, and minimize lines and wrinkles, making you look younger.

And last but not least honey promotes new tissue growth. Before pasteurization, honey contains bee pollen, propolis, and other components that stimulate the growth of new skin.


How to put honey in your everyday skin treatment?

Here, are two tips that honey can have a beneficial effect on your skin!

1.Honey mask:Rub pure honey,straight from the bottle, on to your face and neck.Allow time for it to set until dry and rinse with very warm water.

2.Honey & Cinnamon:Take one teaspoon of honey and half teaspoon of cinnamon,mix them well and keep in the fridge for a night.Put this on your face the next day and keep it for about 15 mins.Your pimples should be gone really fast!
