How to make your eyelashes grow naturally

Eyes are one of the three parts that make up our face. It's best to take care of your eyes so that they can be at its best when applying makeup. And it all starts with our lashes. There are many tips to give your lashes a fuller look. Keep reading if you would like to know more. 

1. Brushing eyelashes 

Did you know that just a single stroke of brushing your eyelashes can increase the growth? You can find these eyelash brushes for as little as $5. Plus, they help avoid clumpy mascara when applying. 

2. Vaseline 

This is one of the basic method that anyone has suggested. And to be honest, they are right. When I heard about this method, I tried it out and in a few weeks, my lashes started to become longer. You can just directly apply it on your lash line or just use your mascara brush (make sure it's clean) with Vaseline and start applying it. Seriously, a great way to achieve natural long eyelashes. 

3. Massaging 

Believe it or not, stimulating the growth comes from massaging. Doing circular motions around your eyelids is therapeutic for the eyes. But be sure you're eyes aren't very sensitive and clean your hands before trying it out. 

4. Olive oil

Just like Vaseline, olive oil is actually a great way to increase volume. Can't say no to olive oil because it's truly harmless in beauty care. Rub some on your ring finger as it's the gentle finger and glide it on your lash line. Don't use too much or you'll have a hot mess. 

5. Good diet 

Now, this is self explanatory, but everyone has neglect this so much and I'm a victim as well. Balancing your diet with fruits and veggies do fulfill your lashes. Not only lashes, but it does wonders for your entire body. So, it doesn't mean you can't have these fatty foods, just balance it. 

6. Green tea 

Green tea has been said to be the #1 tea for beauty purposes. By seeping a cup of tea, dip a cotton ball and gently press onto your eyes. It's the most soothing feeling you could ever feel plus you'll have a drink. 

7. Eyelash serum 

These baby seriously exists. They sound crazy, but it does wonders. What they do is that they strengthen the follicles making it less vulnerable to breakage. You can find these anywhere and some come with a mascara so it's a win win. 

And there you have it. Some tips and tricks to help achieve longer and voluminous lashes. Remember it takes patience and consistency so don't think you can get instant results by the next day. Not all of these tips can help everyone, so find one that's best for you.

Do you feel happy pleasing or fulfilling Someones expectations?

Having a kind heart means that you'll give more love than to receive it. To be honest, I was that kind of girl and in return, the outcome can be unexpected. I remember my sister would be telling me that I was retarded for being a people pleaser when really it makes me happy, but to her it wasn't. But there's actually two tricks that play when pleasing someone. 

The first one is you being a generous person. It's simple because you're the one who gives out appreciation. What that means is when you see someone in need, you'll be the first person to treat them with lots of love. It's not a bad thing, but be careful who they are. They can use your kindness to treat it as "free money". Some signs to consider when finding the ones who treat you this way: 

Money beggars 
Someone damages your property
Rude commenters 
Deceiving scammers 
Those that don't owe you back 

Be smart when choosing the people to give kindness. I know I've been there and I don't want you guys to experience what I had to go through. Plus, be sure it makes you happy. 

The second trick is when that person expected you to do a well-done job. I'm sure everyone has been through this kind and for me, it's the most I've ever gotten. Say for example, the boss wants you to repeat the same process with your next project because each one you've done was fantastic. But as it was completed, your boss was not too happy about it and expected more out of you. It's the worst feeling to my opinion. But why should our significant others be expecting a perfect job from us? Some people include:
Friends 
Families 
Colleagues 
Boss 
Boyfriend/Girlfriend 

I've talk with other people who had this experience and all have said that it makes them feel less than what they are. I believe this too because when someone comments about my work of trash, I feel less confident and pushes me to keep repeating that mistake. Really, I think that a perfect you doesn't exist because no mistakes wouldn't reflect how you conquer your future. We have so many flaws in our hands, but it doesn't mean we can't become better from this. Fulfilling their expectations makes them happy, but does it for you? So, do try your best and forget the rest because nobody understands you better than yourself. 

Thank you guys for taking your time reading this post. If you can relate to any of this, do comment below because sharing is caring. :D

Fashion life hack: Summer pieces to spice your outfit

Different seasons comes with different looks. Since it's summer, presenting your outfits with that vibe is crucial. Here are some pieces to give your clothes a more summery feel: 

You'll need: 
-sunglasses 
-Hair ties 
-Flash Tattoos 
-Sandal Jewelry 
-Tropical head crown 

1) Sunglasses 

Protecting the eyes is very important. At the same time, you'll be able to look stylish with your favorite pair of sunglasses. It's the basic fashion statement, but it'll definitely show off your summer look. And taking a selfie under a bright day would look amazing. Even if you're not into wearing sunglasses, you can always hang them in your shirt. An accessory you can't forget about. 

2) Hair ties 

Okay, hair ties are interchangeable from ponytails to hugging the wrists. Plus, it's a bonus while wearing a t-shirt. How? Well, all you need to do is take a hair tie and just tie the lower part of your shirt (either from left or right) then voila! You got yourself a new look kinda like a crop top, but much cuter. Always keep a handy hair tie with you because hey, there may be times you need to pull your hair back or shirt. 

3) Flash Tattoos 

Omg! My favorite summertime essentials are flash tats. They're super cool to wear like at night times. Brightening your smile and clothes and giving off a tropical bohemian is wonderful. I prefer ones either the wrist, arms, tummy, or hands. I've seen some in Sephora, but it can be a little pricey. But there's always diy flash tats if you want an alternative.


4) Sandal Jewelry  

Or as some people call them, "Barefoot Sandal Thongs." I think these foot jewelry are super adorable because they shimmer and give off personality. When going barefoot, always have your feet styled. I know it's a weird thing to do, but it really completes the look. It's great when wearing a maxi dress at the beach as it flows through the sunset and your sandal accessory shining with passion.


5) Tropical Head Crown

The last go-to summer items are tropical head crowns. Just like flower crowns, but a more appropriate touch for summer. You could never go wrong with these. Wearing them makes you look like a Hawaiian  goddess. I think this last item looks beautiful in any apparel. They're also easy to make if you're into diy crafting. 

That's it! A few pieces that can make your outfit stand out under the sun. But the last thing I always believe is a great accessory is to smile, so keep that in mind. Enjoy your summer while it last! 

See ya next time! Ciao ^__^

Body shaming is a no no

Hi you guys! So I really wanna talk about this topic because lately our society has been spot on the perfect beach body, big butt, thigh gaps, super skinny arms/legs, and being thick. And hearing about people's mean opinions on other women's figure is considered body shaming. 

Everyone's body is different. We have shapes that don't match someone's needs and that's fine. Their judgment don't matter at all to you. What's important is that you're beautiful and you stay beautiful. Simple, right? Well not for everyone. There are some who can be sensitive to opinions and some who aren't. Basically, words cut deeper than a sharp blade. Speaking about a girl's body in a bad way will only look bad for you. It shows that you wanna take credit for something you have than what the other person doesn't. Plus, your victim wouldn't feel as comfortable as she would've. I know it's the nature of people, but we need to focus on giving more positive energy aside from taking it away. 

Going through puberty, I wasn't really into looking good for my own body. I was mainly focused on keeping negativity away and being confident. But it changed by the time I enter high school where all the ladies dress with cleavage and showing some skin. There was this time when I went bra shopping and so, I ask a bra specialist from Victoria Secret to measure me. She said that I was a 32D and I went to try it on. The cups were fitted except the band size so I officially bought a 34D bra. Before, I never had measure my bra size until now because eyeing wasn't good since I wore a 36B cup for two years and it was super uncomfortable. But this new bra I had was easier to wear and didn't snug. The next day, I told my so-called friends about getting a new bra and they were not too happy about the sizing. They believe that my chest wasn't even big from appearance (since they never seen me wearing a tight fitted shirts and only bagging sweaters). The two kept laughing at me and said that maybe a B cup was a perfect match for me. I remember they were making a big commotion around the students and comparing their boob size from mine because it didn't look like theirs. I was so ashamed about my body from that point on. Not only did I lose my self-confidence, but I had to forget about them because they weren't the friends that make me happy. I tried looking up about bra sizing and most responses have said that it doesn't matter how big your bust is to fit the size as long as you're wearing the comfortable proper measurements. I believe it as well because numbers can't define who you are. I wish I could tell those girls about it, but they don't have time to give me respect. And all I can do is accept myself for the way I was born. 

No matter if you have or don't have that figure that everyone expects, as long as you feel good because nobody knows you the best. And we should do this world a favor by spreading positive energy to young girls because hey, a frowning face isn't pretty. 

See ya next time! Ciao ^__^

How to (de)stress

Everyday I usually get stressed out from the busy day. I'm sure all of you guys have experience this as well. If you don't know how to relax at the end of the day then don't worry. Here are a few tips I've learn to (de)stress: 

1. Taking a bath

Showering is quick, but let's hold it off. Soaking in warm water soothes the mind and lessen the body strain. Use some scented candles or a bath bomb to give a slight boost of ease. Lush has one of the best bath bombs with real benefits. Plus, adding music or reading to your bath time is a must because it feels like you're away from reality. 

2. Animals

Those adorable pets sure make you happy. Science has proven that house pets is a quick way to relieve stress. I mean who doesn't love these fluffy animals that comfort you whenever you need it. I personally love my sissy's cat whenever he's around in the house. Makes me stop thinking about my bad day. 

3. Lay off on electronics

Yep, that means your phone, computer, and tablet. I know it can be hard having a day without your social media, but let's face it. Studies have shown that computer screens tires your eyes and increases anxiety. So, at least stay away from technology for an hour. You need the mind to stay healthy. 

5. Doing yoga 

Balancing out the heavy days with good yoga stretches. Yoga has so many benefits such as perfecting your flexibility/strength, better performance in workouts, and clears the mind, body, and soul. Plus, it helps you relaxing the muscles which encourages you to fall asleep. I like doing downward dog, cobra, cat stretch, and child's pose. 

6. Taking a nap

If you didn't have proper sleep then this is a good opportunity to nap. Taking a nap clears your mind and increases breathing. Use a sleeping mask if you have trouble sleeping under afternoon times. And it's great to try calm music and a facial mask. Your skin and body will thank you for the relaxation. Daydreaming is consider napping, too. When your mind drifts off somewhere, it means that it needs to turn off for a few minutes. It's not consider a distraction so take the opportunity wherever you are. 


There you have it. A few tips that I've been doing and loving for years. Some suggestions for you guys because everyone has different ways to (de)stress. Remember that to be stress-free is to not procrastinate and manage your time wisely. 

See ya next time! Ciao ^__^
