How to get kissable lips!

Winter is on its way in no time and so many will start having the problem with crusty lips or lips peeling. Do you peel the skin or bite it off knowing that it doesn't really help? Do you use vaseline/ lip balm to stop it from peeling? No matter how much you put on it still peels...right?
This is my easy peasy solution, I usually do this in the morning after I've washed my face. 
Splash your lip with water so its moist, then damp a face cloth.  Rub the cloth against your lips in circular motions. You will start to see some skin rolled up into small balls and falling off. Yes, its basically exfoliating your lips. When there's no more of those white peeling skin, put some vaseline/ lip balm on.


There are other ways that I learnt from Tyra Banks.

First one
You will need: 
Vaseline


Old Tooth Brush

 Put a small amount of vaseline over your lips (a little bit more than what you usually need), dip the toothbrush in water- make sure you soak it. Then brush your lips, you will start to see the skin being brushed off. When you've done that wipe the excess of vaseline and put vaseline or lip balm on.

Second one
You will need:


Sugar

Just exfoliate your lips with sugar, this will give your lips a sweet taste and so will taste nice when making out, in other words more kissable!

Rock those blazers ladies!

More and more ladies are wearing blazers when they go out, if you haven't got one yet, GO GET ONE!! They are so useful that when I'm in a rush or when I don't have a clue what to wear, blazers comes to the rescue!

Blazers are becoming one of my favourites clothing because it just like jeans; goes with anything and its perfect for any occasion. They are great for smart, casual and even sexy style wear. The blazer is like magic, you put it on and it makes the whole outfit stand out and glamorous. The most simple and trendy outfit is; a pair of skinny jeans, a plain vest top, the blazer and either a pair of heels or flat shoes/pumps. See below- all clothes are from Topshop,





I tend to like blazers that our tight fitted, that emphasises the waist and just below my waist. I also love those cropped ones, especially those with extreme shoulder pads, just like the ones below.


Above: This is from Littlewoods. I would wear that with skinny jeans or leggings not with a dress like that in the picture.


Left to right: I like the pattern blazer Kim Kardashian is wearing but I absolutely LOVE the black blazer in the right. Its perfect with the dress! She looks SMOKING HOT! Lol.


Oh! And how can I forget about my favourite Tyra Banks! Smart and Sexy!

Feeling of Gratitude

I always say that I am grateful for this and that but never truly feel 100% grateful. What I mean is, I do appreciate and am happy with what I have and feel very fortunate but never close to tears. The only time I've been close to tears when feeling grateful is when I'm with my mum, my dad and my brother. Yesterday, I felt it again and it was for my brother's Godparents.

Yesterday, my brother's Godparents came over to London from Sweden for holiday and we spent the whole day with them. Its been 15 years since we seen each other and it felt great seeing them again. My parents relationship with them are still really good and close.

I had to work in the evening at my dad's business but my parents had dinner with them at our house. While I was at work I had this wierd feeling- a good feeling that is-I didn't want them to leave without me coming home to say bye to them. I actually miss them and felt like crying at work- cry because too happy. I think its a feeling of gratitude, in fact it must be. I feel so happy that we know them. I got this such warm feeling from them when we were having lunch and I just wished we were related. I wished they were my uncle and auntie. I guess its because they have the character that I always wished my relatives would have or be like. To be honest, I have never planned to go back to Sweden for holiday because its just not really a place to go for fun.  But they would be a reason for me to go on holiday to Sweden.

I only have this feeling of gratitude with my parents and my brother, no one else. Its very rare for me to have this feeling for people and they were the ones. Back in Sweden, despite we had families (mums side) there, they still really looked after us. Even my dad said that he saw my brother's Godfather as his older brother. I know the reason of this feeling is not to do with that I don't see them often because when my parents have other friends come over I don't care. They are just amazing people!

In life, people won't see the valuable of certain things when they have it, especially when they can get it easily. But when you don't have it or taken a lot of effort to obtain it, thats when you would appreciate it alot. Just like education, in UK everyone goes to school for free. 50% of us don't see the value of being educated and have schools. Some of us don't even want to go to school. But in some countries, they have lack of schools and have to pay to go school. Some wished they could go to school but can't afford it. Even if they have the money they have to walk like 2 hours to school.

Appreciate the great people around you, you don't meet great people that easy. And be GRATEFUL!
