March To Dos
1. Fight aging. One of the reasons  why we age is that old skin cells pile up creating a firm layer of old skin. To fight this natural process you can exfoliate weekly or use deep peeling. March is the last month when deep peeling is recommended because in April sun can be too damaging for such procedures. For an at home deep peel you can use mud masks, deep peeling creme, or a chemical peel. Some...

Shoe shopping saga
For me buying new shoes is a real ordeal. Shoe shopping is time consuming, brain hurting and it is expensive. It can take me up to a month until I find something that I like which fits my budget, personality and my feet. I wish I could just grab an 8.5 size pair and go home, but not all sizes are the same. Also a size just determines the length of the shoe, some shoes are just too narrow or too...

VDay is tomorrow!
Well here goes my post about all the Vday gifts *drags and drops a photoshop file to the trash bin*. I’ve been extremely busy with my work lately so I haven’t had the time to blog as much, for which I am deeply sorry. Wishing everyone an amazing and heart warming Vday. If you are not celebrating with a lover, you can still celebrate with with a loved one, a friend or a relative....

February '12 beauty fads
For me February is all about love and Ventine’s. For some Valentine’s is lonesome holiday. Remember, you are never alone! Celebrate the month of February with colour and passion. And on the 14th go out with your single girlfriend or guy friends. Buy a new dress or that new red lipstick. Put on those fake lashes or 50’s bold wing tips. Go to a party, bar or restaurant. And say...

New me in the New 2012
I love New Year’s resolutions. How about this for a resolution? Looking your very own best in the 2012! I decided to start this year by re-evaluating my beauty routines and products that I use. Some things are better to leave in the 2011 and move on. So here are some of my new and improved manifestos for the new year: 1. Stay Natural. Watching youtube beauty vids is addictive: they both...

Get your Lush-o-Holic on!
I Looooooove Lush! Their products are both natural and delicious smelling. First time that I discovered Lush was about 3-4 years ago when an x boyfriend of mine gave me a small gift - Lush’s Honey Bee Bathbomb. He just could not believe that I did not know what a bathbomb is. Was I in for a surprise. Ever since I am a Lush-o-Holic. It is a controlled condition but 99% of time when I visit...

Preppy
Preppy, preppie, or prep (all abbreviations of the word preparatory) refers to a modern, widespread fashion style. Preppy fashion started in the 1950’s as the Ivy League style of dress. Although preppy styles have their roots in Ivy League fashion, various preppy styles take cues from New England and Tri-State Area nautical attire from the twentieth century. My favourite fiction character...

Wrinkles
I am 24 right now, and I am already weary of the wrinkles. I don’t have many, but a few is just enough to start me on the aging paranoia. So I have researched all the fighting methods and this is how you can fight your wrinkles too: 1) Almond oil - Apply a bit of almond oil underneath your eyes. Almond oil is great for fighting wrinkles around your eyes. 2) Anti aging products - Only work if...

To drink or not to drink?
1. Dairy products Drink Kefir or yogurt as they function best at providing your body with calcium and hence preventing bone deterioration that happens with age. Please don’t drink milk. Milk is a major cause of allergy, it does not digest properly and may interfere with your body’s immune system. 2. Juice 100% juice has twice more sugar than in actual apples. And juices from...

Dry skin
Come winter time and late autumn my skin turns into an old painting - dry and cracked. I have been fighting dry skin every cold season for a good couple of years now. I wanted to share with you my routine & tips: 1. Drink water. Drink up to 10 glasses of water per day, this is really important as your hydrated body means hydrated skin. 2. Lotion. Every time you are out of shower or bath apply...

Intro to fashion styles
All these different style names are driving me insane. What is this supposed to mean: “You are so boho chic today?” or “Your jacket is too military for my taste. ” or “OMG Look at that outfit. It is sooo prep. OMG! ” I have a feeling that fashion industry comes up with all these names on purpose to confuse us and make us feel not up to date - so that we would be...

November To Dos
Three suggested to dos which are certain to change your life for better this November. #1. Rejuvenate When you grow older your skin needs a bit of help as it does not renew as easily on its own building up layers of dead old skin. As an aide daily or weekly peeling is a must. To kick off those old layers of skin and give way to new and healthy skin use either a scrub (it can be in form of a creme...

Happy Halloween!
With Halloween coming up there are a lot of MUA tutorials out there. I decided to join in the fun and make one of my own. The look which I did is inspired by “Dio de los muertos”, Mexican Day of the dead. Also it is a spin on my last year’s costume (I will link an image once I find it). Hope you like it… Diana ♥

Oily skin
1) Daily cleansing - Wash your face every night before going to sleep, daily dirt and makeup clogs up your pores. Use a scrub or good old soap and water. 2) Weekly cleansing - Cleanse your skin once a week. Use natural clay or mud mask. This routine will clean up you pores, and will rid you of white and black dots. Want to spice things up? Try a peel. Also exfoliating your skin fights acne.  3)...
