Fav Hair Style for Spring 2010

My favorite Spring 2010 trend is:

YEP! you guessed it right. BRAIDS!!! How fun!! We saw braids all over the runways and red carpets for this spring and I have to admit, i've been sporting it for the past couple of months and loving it. It's quick, easy, young, yet elegant. An easy alternative to the updo. You can keep it tight and clean or have it lose and messy (the way I like it). You can do a high braid or a low one or (my fav) a side one!!

Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds

Although this is beauty blog, I thought I would share this article I read on Yahoo. I don't have anyone to experience these with, but I hope reading this on my blog helps someone out there. I honestly think doing these little things would help a relationship TREMENDOUSLY. So, I hope you have someone that you can share these cute little gestures with =) Good Luck!!!

How many times have you become frustrated with your significant other? You feel like they just don't understand you. You feel like you don't connect anymore. There is no passion and fire left in your relationship.
Do you long to feel that passion again? Here are seven simple ways to put the fire back in your relationship -- and keep it there:

1. Don't forget date night. It's been said a thousand times, but it's true. Couples who forget to go out on dates tend to treat each other like furniture in the house. You need to have a date together every week. Get dressed up for each other. Go out to a restaurant, a ballgame, or just take a walk together. It doesn't matter where you go as long as you do something different from your usual activities. When you're on your dates, treat each other the way you did when you first started
dating.

2. Give a proper greeting. When your significant other comes home at night, meet them at the door and give them a big kiss. Don't just yell, "Hey, how ya doing?" from another room. If you are the one coming in the door, go to wherever your partner is in the house and give them a big kiss. Little gestures like this go a long way.

3. Keep on kissing. When you wake up in the morning, make sure you kiss your partner. Forget about morning breath. Who cares? We're talking about showing love from the very first minute of the day. This brings me to the second part of this: Before you go to bed at night, make sure you are connected with your significant other and kiss them goodnight. You should always feel love and nurturing before you go to sleep. Too many couples get into bed -- each person on their side of the bed -- and fall asleep without bothering to kiss each other goodnight.

4. Break the routine. A big part of keeping the fire burning in a relationship is stirring up the daily routine. One of the best ways to do this is to set a romantic mood. Light candles. If it's a night you normally watch TV, why not light candles throughout the entire house? Do anything that's out of your normal routine.

5. Send a "no special reason" message. Send your significant other little notes in the middle of the day, just telling them that you love them or that you're thinking about them. With email and texting, this is so simple yet so powerful. You can even leave a quick voicemail. That one "I love you" message will make your partner feel happier.

6. Leave a surprise note. Everyone loves a surprise, so try placing a handwritten note in their bag or briefcase. If you leave early for work, leave a card saying, "I'll be thinking of you all day long" or "I really love the way you and I are together." Write something simple but beautiful. Share something to remind your mate of great times together.

7. Be there even when you're apart. If you travel for business or other reasons, leave a sweet note for your partner before you leave. Even better, leave a series of notes for them to find and read on each day that you will be away. If your significant other is the one who travels, slip a card into their suitcase and follow up with some romantic texts while they are gone. This lets them know you are thinking about them. Keeping each other in your thoughts is one of the most important parts of keeping the fire burning.

Sometimes what you see is not real and what's real might not be seen...


This is why men these days have a completely distorted image of women and think that we naturally look like plastic dolls with glowing complexions and perfect curves. Get real!! The pictures you see every day and the images that our disgusting media portrays is far from what real women look like. It’s not just the men though, us women go around trying to come as close to these ‘barbie dolls’ as possible. WHY?!? Listen, my skin does NOT radiate light from within and my curves are not perfect, but I LOVE the way I look. This is what God gave me and I am HAPPY with what I got alhumdulilah. So ladies, do not let ANYONE tell you otherwise. There are a lot more important issues in life than looking like something that’s completely unnatural and computer generated. Who you are as a person and what you do for others is far more important and will last a life time. Looks will fade faster than you think.

Also, do you expect your man to look like that? No? Then why do you think you have to? Why is it that men can be hairy or greasy or smelly or God knows what else, but we still find them attractive!?!?! Because women tend to not be so superficial and are a lot more forgiving than men. Brothers please stay calm, I’m not saying it’s COMPLETELY your fault. It’s how you were brought up; it’s what the society teaches you to be the norm. Good news is that you are able to change the way you think. Trust me, it’s not that hard.

Hope this helps someone some day!! I came across the picture and just had to share.
