Happy Mood Porridge


 Happy Mood Porridge.

  The moment some people hear the word porridge they think "ewwww, that's not too nice" whereas you can actually make your porridge taste so delicious that even you won't believe porridge can taste that good.
Well, first of all you need to grab some oats and pop them into a bowl.
Then, you would want to pour some milk( I normally use soy milk as I cannot consume normal milk and I can't stand the smell or taste of it).
You then need to place that magic bowl into the microwave and heat the mixture up for 3 minutes.
As you take it out and stir it with a spoon and add some cinnamon *unless you really dislike it*, honey and a handful of raisins. As you add everything into the bowl surely mix it all up.
 Afterwards grab a plate and place the mixture you have made on it, make it look nice as it will certainly benefit your mood and then top it off with some dried apricots and prunes as well as some nuts if you want to do so.
  As you have prepared your porridge chop up your favorite fruit; a banana, kiwis, oranges, tangerines,pineapple, strawberries ,etc. Place all of the fruit around the porridge.
  If you want to take it a step further spread some yogurt over the dried fruit on the porridge and top this amazing dish wish some berries of your choice.

Make yourself a delicious drink and enjoy your healthy, delicious breakfast.


Being confident

Hello there,
I know quite a few people, particularly girls, in the outer world feel very shy and awkward around their classmates, especially guys but there is a way to bring this awkwardness to an end. Carry on reading and aspire to become a confident individual as confidence is key.


     As for the start, there is a need to realise that by being shy and the "last one to speak up" you'll not get too far and you probably don't want that because hey, when and how will people uncover your terrific personality if you stay in the corner by yourself ? Before staying out of a conversation and acting shy think about all of those horrible consequences.  You don't want to face the nightmare of being a ghost.


     After you have secured the previous thought in your mind think about the things and possibly people who don't allow you to be confident. If you're insecure about your looks throw some make up on and there is no need to purchase anything super expensive: simply buy good skincare products and maybe a concealer together with a mascara , a blush, a brow brush and a lip gloss of a cute shade. If you don't like your body ...Stop it....Confident individuals love themselves and you need to learn how to as well. On the other hand try to work out a couple of days a week and cut down on all that chocolate because you might find it tasty now but 15 years later you're quite likely to regret it. If a person makes you feel insecure and constantly oppresses you get rid of them because you don't want to keep a negativity provoker in your life. In a nutshell: LOVE YOURSELF AND PEOPLE WILL START LOVING YOU.



    Last but not least, speak up! There is no need to hide from the world even if everyone thinks you're super weird, in fact it's good to be strange because your unique personality is what defines you regardless of what others think. Of course there is no need to be rude to anybody and too self confident but why feel awkward about your personality if it's amazing?


Guys, if you want to start being confident you need to believe in yourself as if you won't do so no one else will. Also, always remember this amazing quote - "Fake it until you make it".

Ideas impacting minds and lives.

    It is indeed incredible how a poem, an individual or even an event can alter one's thinking process, the way an individual views the world and other human beings. It's quite surprising that a poem or a piece of writing can have a tremendous impact on the way in which an individual thinks and can in fact alter one's beliefs and behavior.
   Contemporary writers and artists hide very interesting and thought-provoking messages within their pieces of work which we often find quite difficult to pick up as we choose not to dig deeper to discover the true meaning of a piece which could in fact change lives. As we then decide to take another glance at a creative piece, simply out of interest ( maybe a quote or a color has been remembered by one's brain), we unpick the seriousness and the irony which we didn't manage to see previously. Messages of these highly peculiar and spectacular master- pieces way; one can convey a message of trying to live a color-bursting and interesting life, whereas another piece can enable us to analyse what our world is actually like forcing many individuals to take their pink glasses off and face the reality regardless of how bad it is in the eyes of some people.
    One of the poets who have made me look back at my life and my actions is Simon Armitage - an individual who touches on the ironic reality of our incredible and fast developing world. His work is intellectually arranged and the main message isn't very obvious within most of his poems but the deeper meaning reveals the truth about how we view and treat some people and how one can easily turn into a disturbed individual due to all the pressure exerted on them.

It's a New Year, it's a New Life.

2014 said "Good bye" and approached the door, leaving us to live our wonderful lives with 2015. Taking a minute to reflect on the past year all I have to say is that it has been a year of lesson learning and experimenting; many of us, including myself, have probably been caught making mistakes and trying to cope with the consequences the seriousness of which varied. Some were easy to resolve, others took a little longer but regardless a lot has been taught to many of us and I am sure we have all learnt quite an enormous quantity of lessons. The impact of this however was even greater - all of us managed to change, hopefully for the better. We have grown and developed, not necessarily physically but mentally. We have accessed the next level of development and now have to carry on doing what we have been to make the most out of our precious lives.

I hope 2015 will be an amazingly bright colored year for every single one of you out there. Everyone will hopefully become successful and motivated to progress as an individual, as someone independent and happy.

I wish all of you guys all the best and I hope 2015 brings only positive memories in it's suitcase to your already crazy, incredibly lives.

Retro? 80s?

   A lot of looks involving retro elements became popular quite a while ago however I was not particularly tempted to write about such looks until I discovered I am in love with this amazing style as well. Worn denim jackets, high-waisted shorts and jeans, awesome shoes and so much more - what can be better.
   Personally I think that this style would suit each and everyone of us, no matter what your gender is. Even the age is not as important in this case as long as you style everything correctly.
  It has been noted a lot of popular movie stars have been either dressing in this style or have included the some of the retro elements into their looks.
The two pictures above are slips of two gorgeous females - Blake Lively and Leighton Meester.
This two looks are fully retro which makes these two amazing ladies look like the beauties of the 80s when this style energetically entered the fashion industry and remained quite popular since then.
As you can see, the two looks are slightly different as they are for different occasions.
The fist look appears to be more casual compared to the second one which makes it suitable for most of the occasions, from parties and meeting with your friends to theater visits. The colors within the look are also harmonic making the look appear as an eye catchy yet a casual one.
The way in which Blake Lively is dressed is slightly different. This one appears to be more classy and it'd be absolutely perfect for important meeting, however that doesn't mean you can't wear something like that to a dinner or to a theater. Also, this look is much more suitable for spring, autumn as well as winter because the coat creates the feeling of comfort and warmth and so does the top. 


This is a photo of Leighton Meester in a bright dress. As you can tell from the picture all the colors are quite bright yet the go together quite well and make this amazing woman look gorgeous by making the facial features as well as her waist stand out.
I think that such outfit would be perfect to wear to a party or to a theater, also if you are celebrating your birthday this would be something nice to wear as it can make you look cute.
Retro clothes aren't always elegant, you can always pop something grungy in.
The picture above is a photograph of beautiful Sonya Esman wearing an absolutely amazing dark retro jacket which is was designed to look colorful thanks to all the pictures around it.
This particular jacket can be styled with a number of items; from boyfriend jeans to cute pencil skirts.


           Speaking of accessories which would go with this style, I think choker necklaces are perfect as they can make an outfit look somewhat edgy yet feminine so definitely try one on. Also, choker necklaces came back into the fashion industry not that long ago thus if you want to look trendy purchase one of those.
     However there are a few things to consider when deciding whether or not to wear this type of necklace.
Firstly, analyse your outfit, think about all the details and then decide whether it's classy or grungy or chique.
If you've decided to go for a more classy outfit, I say you should consider wearing something different when it comes to accessories as I highly doubt the fact that a choker necklace will go with something like that.
     Nevertheless, do not forget to use your imagination and I am sure you will find the perfect look for yourself.

Make-up?

  Hello lovelies, how have you been?
 Today I want to talk to you guys about make-up, those of you who are just starting to use make-up might find this interesting so let's begin.
  I will be honest with you guys, when I decided to start using make-up I didn't even know where to begin and what to begin with which is the problem the majority of the girls face. In my opinion if you are under the age of 13 don't even use any make-up accept from lip gloss and mascara( for special occasions) because you don't want to look like an old lady at the age of 20. From personal experience I know a number of girls find BB cream and foundation as well as concealer fascinating. I think the reason behind this is that when we begin to get spots we want to hide them using such things however we normally don't consider the fact that these heavy pieces of the make-up collecting actually damage our naturally beautiful faces so if you are under the age of 16 try to stay away from those things. If you do feel like you need to hide something on your face purchase and use powder however limit the number of days when you use it to a minimum as it also has the ability to damage your skin.

 
  Speaking of make-up, if you have reached the right age and you feel like you should definitely begin using make-up you need to purchase some beauty items, but what should you actually purchase and of which brand???
  When I fist began buying make-up I had no idea which items to purchase and of which brands. Asking my friends didn't actually help me much because all of them recommended different things which confused my brain to bits. I will try to advise you guys in terms of brands and actual items you should purchase in order to make life easier for you.
  As mentioned prior I do not advise you guys to purchase foundation or BB cream because the coverage might be to heavy for you however I think the best BB cream I have tried out was by Revlon
 so you can have a look on their website and find the right one for yourself. It might be on the pricey side however its definitely worth investing in.

 If you don't want to use any heavy coverage on your face, you can try facial powder. I really liked using powder by sleek which is quite cheap but it does feel very light on your face. If you want to go for something which is a bit more expensive you can try a powder by Clinique which also feels very light on your face. If you are a beginner I suggest you buying facial powder from sleek as it is less expensive yet it feels incredible.

 One other thing which you should definitely have is a mascara as it can help you define your eyes, drawing attention to them. I really liked mascaras by Maybeline as well as L'oreal, so you can check these out and decide if they are any good for you.



 Also try to purchase eye shadow at some point or a pallet. If you are buying a single eye shadow then purchase it in a really neutral colour which goes well with the colour of your skin, I for example like the colours Champagne and Creme. In case you decide to purchase a pallet, ensure it includes a colours which are neutral but are both light and dark as you don't want to have a pallet full of similar colours.

   Additionally, try purchasing a few brushes as they will make your life easier when you are applying make-up on.
  Last but not least is the lip gloss or lipstick. This is the case where you guys have to decide which one works better for you or you can just purchase both and who knows maybe you will truly enjoy combining the two together ( I used to do that prior).


 This is it for today and I hope you guys enjoyed this post and found it helpful.
If you do have any suggestions what the next post should be about then let me know in the comments section.
Stay beautiful and I will see you next time.

Summer...summer....summer...

Hello there,
If you guys have not noticed yet, May is coming to an end which means that SUMMER is going to start right after that making all of us so excited. Since most of us are excited I decided to talk to you guys about what you can buy for this amazing period in time.
 1. T-Shirts
It's essential to have at least five T-shirts in your wardrobe as it might be very hot and all of us get sweaty thus there is a need to wear a new T-shirt every single day so bear that in mind. You don't necessarily need to buy five T-shirts of the same type/style; my tip is pick five absolutely different T-shirts of a different design and colour. You should purchase something which is you find unique and not what other people think you should wear.
Note: Try to purchase one T-shirt of a basic colour so you can mix and match it with anything and everything.


2. Trousers and shorts:
It might sound a little bit strange but yes you should definitely buy a few pairs of trousers. These trousers don't need to be made from a warm material as they won't be any good for summer. Instead, you guys can buy a pair of chinos and maybe a pair of trousers which are made from silk with a floral print on them. I suggest you don't buy really bright silky trousers as you want to wear them a number of things however it's completely up to you guys.
 Summer is the time to wear shorts so get yourself a pair of those.



3. Shoes
This is my favourite part really because during the summer there is such a great choice of shoes in a number of shops. Also there is a number of different types of shoes; sandals, sneakers,traines, moccasins and so on. This list can be of an enormous size however if you are really interested in the diversity of the shoes for summer you can do a little research yourselves. I think there is a need to have a pair of sneakers as they always come in handy yet you can also purchase moccasins as they are an alternative to sneakers. Also, you never know whether this summer will be very hot or just moderately hot, thus I suggest buying a pair of sandals in a nude colour as they go with anything.


4. Cardigans
Sometimes, especially in the evenings it can be quite chilly so don't let yourself freeze to death and purchase a light cardigan. It should be something very light which won't make you boil yet it will protect you from the cold.


Lastly, don't forget to wear dresses as they make each one of use look very feminine. However, if you are not such a huge fan of dresses/skirts stick to rompers and jumpsuits.

How to stay happy no matter what..?

Hey everyone,
As mentioned before, this blog isn't only about fashion and beauty, there is also a lifestyle section to it.
As spring has arrived I thought that it would be appropriate to write this post.


I think most of the people are curious about how to stay happy no matter how badly upset you are. Well there is a way to be able to achieve this and I am going to share it with you people. So, let's begin.


First of all, if you're unhappy try to think of something positive/ something which brings a smile to your beautiful face- it can be an event, an object, a person or something else of your own choice. I, for example think of cats and all the people who love me.

For most of the people, music makes their day, thus try to listen to songs which make you feel happy and can change your mood from bad to good. Also, if any of you guys are unhappy don't listen to depressing music because it will make you feel depressed, and that is something you have to avoid.

 If you guys have a hobby or there is something you enjoy you should try and do it at least once a week as when you do something which makes you happy and interests you , your mood can change for the better.
If something very-very bad happened and you are on the edge of crying hold the tears back and don't let the sadness take over you. Just take a couple of deep breaths and think of something which makes you happy as I've mentioned prior and the thought about crying will fade away.


 Hopefully this helped some of you and I hope you guys are all good and happy.

Chique and grungy? Sonya Esman

Hey guys, 
I was looking at classisinternal.com which is a blog written by a Russian Youtuber who lives in Canada , Sonya Esman. I saw a number of inspiring ideas thus I decided to share them with you.
This is one of the outfits worn by Esman when she visited London. 
This look is particularly interesting as she combined the blue coat which looks very chique with a T-shirt which looks very grungy. Her sunglasses perfectly match the coat she is wearing as they come in a similar colour. Every other item of cloth she is wearing matches the T-shirts and makes the outfit look grungy/rocky.
This outfit is actually very simple as Sonya only used two basic colours to create it; black and white.
Despite the fact this outfit only involves two basic colours, I think it looks really nice because of the contrast she created using those two colours. 
This outfit looks really chique , yet the shirt she is wearing makes it look very casual. 
I think all the colours work really well together as all of them are pale but the hat and the trousers(which can't be seen in this photo) highlight the whole look as the two darker items are placed right opposite each other-one at the top and the other one at the bottom.
