All about Scents
Sniffing around for "types of perfume" turned up the sweet smell of eau de toilette and eau de parfum, as well as other versions of scented luxury.
Most perfumes are complex combinations of natural materials, such as essential oils from plants, and synthetic products that increase the lasting power and heighten the smell. Alcohol is used as a liquid base for perfume, and the ratio of alcohol to scented perfume concentrates determines what the final concoction is labeled.
From highest concentration to least, the different forms of perfume are:
Perfume, also called extract or extrait perfume, can include 15-40% perfume concentrates. This is the purest form of scented product and is the most expensive as a result.
Eau de parfum contains about 7-15% perfume concentrates. This is the most popular and common form of perfume. It provides a long-lasting fragrance and generally doesn't cost as much as extract perfume.
Eau de toilette has around 1-6% perfume concentrates. This makes for a light scent that doesn't linger as long as the more intense versions. It was originally intended to be a refreshing body splash to help people wake up in the morning.
Eau de cologne is sometimes used interchangeably with the term eau de toilette. However, the concoction began as the name of a light, fresh fragrance mixed with citrus oils and was made popular by Napoleon. Some perfumers today have a version of this called eau fraiche.
While these are the main classes of perfume, other products are frequently scented with perfume concentrates too. Lotions, creams, powders, body splashes, aftershaves, soaps, and other cosmetic products may contain variable (though usually small) amounts of fragrance.
Now that you have your scents straight, we're sure you'll smell like a rose all day!

Top 10 Reasons to Smile
Top 10 Reasons to Smileヽ(ﾟ▽ﾟ*)乂(*ﾟ▽ﾟ)ﾉ
1. Smiling Makes Us Attractive
We are drawn to people who smile. There is an attraction factor. We want to know a smiling person and figure out what is so good. Frowns, scowls and grimaces all push people away -- but a smile draws them in (avoid these smile aging habits to keep your smile looking great).
2. Smiling Changes Our Mood
Next time you are feeling down, try putting on a smile. There's a good chance you mood will change for the better. Smiling can trick the body into helping you change your mood.
3. Smiling Is Contagious
When someone is smiling they lighten up the room, change the moods of others, and make things happier. A smiling person brings happiness with them. Smile lots and you will draw people to you.
4. Smiling Relieves Stress
Stress can really show up in our faces. Smiling helps to prevent us from looking tired, worn down, and overwhelmed. When you are stressed, take time to put on a smile. The stress should be reduced and you'll be better able to take action.
5. Smiling Boosts Your Immune System
Smiling helps the immune system to work better. When you smile, immune function improves possibly because you are more relaxed. Prevent the flu and colds by smiling.
6. Smiling Lowers Your Blood Pressure
When you smile, there is a measurable reduction in your blood pressure. Give it a try if you have a blood pressure monitor at home. Sit for a few minutes, take a reading. Then smile for a minute and take another reading while still smiling. Do you notice a difference?
7. Smiling Releases Endorphins, Natural Pain Killers and Serotonin
Studies have shown that smiling releases endorphins, natural pain killers, and serotonin. Together these three make us feel good. Smiling is a natural drug.
8. Smiling Lifts the Face and Makes You Look Younger
The muscles we use to smile lift the face, making a person appear younger. Don't go for a face lift, just try smiling your way through the day -- you'll look younger and feel better.
9. Smiling Makes You Seem Successful
Smiling people appear more confident, are more likely to be promoted, and more likely to be approached. Put on a smile at meetings and appointments and people will react to you differently.
10. Smiling Helps You Stay Positive
Try this test: Smile. Now try to think of something negative without losing the smile. It's hard. When we smile our body is sending the rest of us a message that "Life is Good!" Stay away from depression, stress and worry by smiling.

And the partnership of the Candy Mag and Berry Books are not done yet after the success of "The Friendship Bracelet Book" that I also have they were having this cute little nail art book that I'm supper excited !!
oh yeah! I bought 2 pcs. of their nail art book. Don't blame me I love free and they are polishes that I like ^__^ and as you can see the cute little pink butterfly was adorable!
I will name the polish from left to right.
1. Blue Me Away
2. White a Minute
3. Pink-a-boo
4. Orange You Glad
And I bought their September issue of the Candy Mag and I'm loving it..and I've got a free pass for the Candy Fair, so excited! But I'm not going..bohoo.! If you want to have my free pass I can give it to you ;D just PM me and Follow me here on Blogspot, thank you!
I bought it at Book Sale that I love and it costs me Php 195 each.
The contents of the mini magazine *__* Every design came from an step-by-step instructions and some tips and tricks to level- up your design.
The brush of the free nail polish..its so cute and little though, it has 4 ml per bottle. And the free polish was from the CHIC CENTRE CORPORATION.
At the upper corner was the swatches of the product unto my nails. The product was good, it is easy to apply like their other products that I'm currently using and loving it, aside from one particular polish from the free polish bottles, it is the "White a Minute" I swatches it in my nails with a 4 thin coats and it appear as solid at the picture but a 4 coat is for me it is ridiculous! But the other polishes was good as their original like and I just apply 2 coats unto my nails the other 3 colors and I like the "Orange you Glad" it is so flattering in my nails : ]
I think the down side of the polishes was it can chip after 2-3 days after applying it I just do some hand chores and they were chipping away like madly TT__TT
I think it is just normal for a free nail polish bottles, right?
For the designs inside the book I think some of their design was taken some inspirational from some Youtube channels. It is just my opinion..
That's all FOLKs I hope you enjoy this Polish Review and comment down below if you buy the new Polished!: The Nail Art Book from Candy Mag or send me a picture of it and if you try their designs send me a picture of it :D
Long Wavy Hair without heat styling!
A long wavy hair is always well loved because it has more volume and body, soft to the eyes, flowing, and free. It doesn't require a lot of maintenance unlike straight hair.
The good news is that you don't need to be naturally born with it. There are already a number of ways on how you can achieve a long wavy hairstyle.
But before we proceed to the techniques, there's something you should know. These suggestions are devoid of any hot appliances such as curling irons. Some women would depend on these devices to achieve a little curl here and there on their hair. Though they are effective and can give you the look in a matter of minutes, they are not healthy at all. The intense heat they produce can dry the hair up, leaving you with brittle, dull, or even frizzed hair.
Here are the things you can do instead:
Choose your conditioner very well. The first step to getting a long wavy hairstyle is to actually shampoo and condition your hair. Now, it's very important that you get picky with the latter. As much as possible, you should pick the lightweight one because you don't want to weigh your hair down. You want them to be very easy to control and manage.
You can also use the leave-in or anti-frizz hair conditioners. After taking a bath, remove the excess water from the strands and wrap your entire head with a towel. Wait for around 15 minutes to an hour. After the designated time has elapsed, you can now remove the cloth and allow natural wind to completely make it dry. This step is easy, no fuss, and can give you a bouncy wavy hair that's natural looking.
Apply a volumizing formula. While your hair is not too damp or too dry, you can apply a conditioning mousse on your hair to ensure that you can conveniently twist or curl it. After you've accomplished this, you can then spray your volumizing formula. One of its jobs is to also ensure that your wave stays all throughout the day.
A little word of caution, though: avoid becoming enthusiastic on the mousse. Too much of it can also make your hair very heavy to easily manage.
Wear the rollers. It will definitely take some time to obtain a wavy hair with the rollers, but they are a lot healthier and safer. The size of your rollers will depend on the kind of wave you want to achieve. While they are still on, you can spray your styling spray at least half of the rolled hair to make sure they hold properly once you remove the rollers.
P.S. Sorry I don't have pictures, but next time I will take some pictures how I did it

How To Apply Makeup Highlighter
To apply highlighter effectively, the best tool to use is a large powder brush. This can be purchased inexpensively from your local drugstore. These brushes are so versatile you may want to pick up a few of them to have on hand.
Apply Foundation First.
After cleansing and moisturizing your skin, apply your base foundation and allow it to set for a few minutes. This will give you a smooth, translucent surface to apply your highlighter.
Use A Light Hand To Apply Highlighter.
Using your powder brush, lightly apply highlighter to the area just above your cheekbones to enhance them and make them appear more prominent. The key is to apply highlighter with a light touch so that it doesn’t look harsh or obvious. Too much highlighter can make you look like a clown. Practice until you can apply it without leaving an obvious line of demarcation. Do you have a wide nose? Apply highlighter down the center of your nose and a darker shade of makeup subtly along the edges. If you have a weak chin, apply highlighter lightly to the tip of your chin to visually bring it forward, causing it to appear more prominent.
Proceed With the Rest of Your Make Up.
Once you’ve applied highlighter above your cheekbones, apply a light application of blush directly to your cheekbones. Your cheekbones should appear more pronounced from the contrast of the colored blush next to the highlighter.

What's your skin telling you?
What's your skin telling you?
Here's a useful info for you darlings:
(credits to kimpossibly gorgeous for this)
What Your Acne Is Telling You
Zone 1 & 3: Bladder & Digestive System — Improve your diet and drink more water.
Zone 2: Liver — Try cutting back on alcohol, heavy food or dairy. This area can also indicate a food allergy.
Zone 4 & 10: Kidneys — Make sure you’re keeping yourself hydrated with water and cut back on liquids that dehydrate you. This means nix the soda, coffee and/or alcohol.
Zone 5 & 9: Respiratory system — Those who smoke or have allergies tend to have acne here.
Zone 6 & 8: Kidneys — Dark circles are usually a result of dehydration. Drink up!
Zone 7: Heart — Check your blood pressure and make sure you’re not using makeup that irritates your skin.
Zone 12: Stomach — Consider a detox or adding more fiber to your diet to help with digestion.
Zone 11 & 13: Hormones — Stress and hormonal changes can sometimes be alleviated with more water and a few extra servings of dark, leafy greens but if breakouts in this area persistent, make an appointment with your doctor to look into a possible hormonal imbalance. Additionally, breakouts in this area also indicate when you are ovulating (and which side).
Zone 14: Illness — Can be a sign of your body fighting bacteria to avoid illness. Take a breather and drink plenty of fluids.
Hope this was helpful for you FOlks!
