"For Beauty, For Fame" ~~ a candid remix artcle/essay o.o

 Admiration taken far can be deadly, poisonous to one's mind, causing one to do things that may be against their values. One example of this can be examine in the highly publicize disengagement of Crystal Harris to the ever prolific Playboy, Hugh Hefner. She didn't speak much about her disengagement, which caused the media to find other people, who can give them more information; this spiral of curiosity lead the media to spread false rumors about her.

 On Monday, Crystal came on the view to shed some light on her disengagement. She was seated in the middle of the group of woman who co-hosted the show. One of them, Joy Behar, was the first to ask a question that was related to a huge rumor, which was about Crystal Harris running off with the 90k ring and thus made her seemingly in it for the money. Crystal replied, "well, I was intrigued by the whole Playboy life style. And um growing up I'd look up Playboy magazines- and you know, I was insecure and so I thought, could I ever be that girl, could I ever be a playmate.".

That quote from her is a great indicator to what provoked her into marrying Hugh Hefner, which was mainly influence by her admiration for playboy. This admiration that was unfortunately taken far from rationality, made me think back to my youth years. When I was a young girl, I loved being admired and associated admiration to as being loved. I was admired mostly for my beauty. Everywhere I go, people would give me stickers or say I was really pretty. So, being admired for my beauty lead me to think that it was love. I soon wanted this admiration from my many boyfriends during my teen years. Little did I know, that what was consider beauty to them was something I consider "yuck".

 For sure, admiration changed for me as do for many young girls, who viewed admiration as to love. I adapted to this new admiration from my boyfriends and it ultimately made me do the "swung". I was now in a spot of even more confusion. The confusion of beauty, body, love, and respect. Maybe this little admiration that Crystal had as a little girl, from those pretty ladies in Playboy had lead her onto confusion as well.

 All in all, it seem like Playboy twisted beauty and fame up for her and probably for youths everywhere. Moreover, the fame and beauty in Playboy was done up as something prestigious- something to live up to.

This lead me to ponder on the fact of how beauty pull fame in this media frenzy society. I mean how did this worked so well? This equation "beauty to fame" worked with deception and truth; deception was used to twist the truth of beauty in the media, adding fame to make the deceptive beauty appear more true. What truth can young girls find, nowadays, when mostly everywhere they go is influenced by the media?

Mascara Comparison

These magazine scans came in handy for me when I went out for some mascara shopping~ I can't read japanese but I think they are doing a comparison on mascara products.

Basic of Things #1: Hair

Here's a easy and cheap way to go green! Wash your hair with these easily available organic ingredient.

-In an empty shampoo bottle mix in the following:
-1 tbs. baking soda to every cup of water
-1 tbs. of lime for every 2 cups of water 
-shake them all together~  

[Why baking soda? It will absorb your hair oils without striping all of it away unlike shampoo. You need some of your hair oil to keep your hair follicles moist which keep it dandruff free]
[Baking soda work well as a good household cleaner because it releases carbon dioxide which choke the bacteria to death >D]
[Why lime juice? It make your hair shine, less static, and smell good.. Follow the recipe through because too much lime will dry out your hair!]
Give your hair a week to get use to this regime that will normalize hair. Over washing your hair cause it to go to overdrive mode and produce lots of oil. For clean healthy hair wash it everyday at night with warm water. Warm water helps open your hair pores for some easy deep cleaning =]!
This regime should work, if it doesn't then here are some troubles that you might have encounter:

• Your water need to be soften. (Hard water contains calcium/magnesium which basically damage your hair)
• Your hair is thick so you will need to add 2 tbs. of baking soda to each cup of water

The Pinky Diet Plan

     Okay, so I'm like 10 lbs too many.… 10 lbs over weight… Well, my doctor says that I weight normal for my height but he doesn't know the fat rolls on my tummy! I need to lose that fat. Nevertheless, exercising doesn't work for me because I get hungry afterwards, but then I figured out that I should snack like an hour or two hours before exercising to avoid eating after burning lol. I think I can lose 10lbs in two weeks, if I did these things: avoid fatty food and sugary snacks, eat 1 biotin pill ever day, drink at least five cup of water each day, and jogging for 30 minutes every day. Keep the following in mind:

• Eat the right amount of calories accordingly to your height/age. (You can calculate your BMR using this site, http://calcnexus.com/calorie-calculator.php)
• DO NOT progress losing more weight that would pull you below normal weight of your BMI. (Calculate your BMI on this site: http://www.nhlbisupport.com/bmi/
• then go check your ideal weight range at, http://calcnexus.com/ideal-weight-calculator.php)
• When losing weight fast, your body needs to adapt to the changes, which make you feel more hungry.
• 3,500 calories = 1 pound of body fat
• Biotin is a B vitamin supplement that helps your body burn calories basically (for more information of what biotin: http://www.raysahelian.com/biotin.html)

Lip Plumper: You put a small dab of this at night time on your lips and bam a bigger lip in the morning. Quite magical but is in fact real!

Beauty Tips

Would you believe me, if I said: "Everybody is beautiful"?
I feel that beauty was derived from our comparison among others.
This come from my respect for people, so the usage of ugly isn't a word apart of my life.
I acknowledge differences, but I also embrace the differences among people.
 Onward to, beauty tip of the month~
The cold wind gushing from the North Pole, had made Fall here in Minnesota awfully freezing.
With the freezing temperature, my lips have gotten dry and flaky.
First, I have to scape off the flaky skin with a simple brush that is dabbed in petroleum gel.
(Note petroleum gel heal cuts and burn)
After that, I put on chapstick. Chapstick serves as a layer on your lips that seal up moisture
and protect the lip from becoming dry.

Beauty Tips

I gotta say, I like going shopping for makeup in drugstores.
Walgreens is my favorite (:o have you seen their make-up isle?? it huge!)
With so many brand name to choose from, I decided to buy different black eye liners (liquid, pencil, non-sharpen) and try to see which one that worked well for me.
With many test and trials, I liked the pencil liner because it gave a lot of black compare to the non-sharpen one and the liquid one was hard for me to put on (the substance made me teary >~<). The eye pencil liner (can also be use for eyebrows..not on the lips due to accidental consumption) wasn't at all perfect but with a little help from other products, it could! First, you will need an awesome makeup pencil sharpener. I don't suggest using a regular pencil sharpener because the blades isn't gentle on the creamy pencil.



I use this cosmetic sharpener..It's great, sharpen my eye liner roundly, have a retractable ring on the bigger hole, and a plastic container! You can buy it at Sally beauty supply stores.

Second, you will need loose makeup powder.
Dab the tip of the pencil in the powder and apply it on your eyes.
The powder helps keeps your eye liner in place on your eyes
and acts as an resistance to water.
With these two tips you can make any eye pencil makeup work for you!
