FAUX FUR LOVE!

I do love a good faux fur jacket! This one from Amazon has quickly become a wardrobe staple of mine! I love the texture, colour and all round look of it. I paired it with jeans and a lingerie for this look, but I think it’ll also be a great piece over a party dress!

Incase you were wondering, I am a Photo Model and Makeup artist in The Netherlands!

 It was fun to shoot in these beautiful fur jackets, and I’m s0 happy with the response it’s received so far! Hoping to do more like it from time to time.

Change your Look Change Your Life!

Hellooo my beautiful friends! Today I decided to share with you the reason why looking your best is essential. My Doing your Hair Style, Makeup and Outfit styling, you feel better, your mood is better and your confidence level would be increased. It is so important for men and women to take good care of themselves. Personal grooming includes wearing neat cloths, stylish clean hair, Manicure and Pedicure.

I am a beauty consultant in The Netherlands and I can assure you looking good is good business. If I was looking unkept, you would not like to watch this movie or my photos, you would click it way. People judge you based on your appearance. Whether we like it or not.

If you change your look, you will change your life. Image or your appearance can make a huge impact in your life.  I usually look at my older pictures and comparing with my recent pictures to analyse what have changed, I have noticed that now I dress better, wear better makeup, and chose the right accessories. It is very important to pay attention to your appearance.

You have to make more time to look nice. We all do not have time, but we create time.

Understanding why you should dress up every day is essential and makes you stand out from the crowd.

Even if you have kids, and do not have sufficient time, you can make time.  Use more time for yourself instead of spending more time on Instagram, Facebook admiring other people’s photos. Putting a little makeup using little concealer, lip-gloss is so important. When people look at you, they look at your hair, nails, and outfit.

It is fine to accept yourself the way you are, but it is important to add extra effort in dressing up.For your hair, you can just blow dry it, add a little serum and make it look nicer.

You do not have to wear expensive clothes or makeup to look great, you can wear affordable makeup from drugstore such as Kruidvat, Iciparis, and Douglas. Cloths from V&D, De Bijenkorf, We, Nelly, Asos are great shops to shop.

Let’s not forget food. Good healthy balance is great. Working hard is also a must!

You can watch some YouTube videos to get  you inspired on how to dress properly and do better makeup. It will help you a lot!

I hope these tips inspires you!

I love you so so much

If you are suffering from Acne, avoid contaminated sponges on your face, try to use a seperate sponge for your face and body. do dissenfect your bathing water with Dettol. Another tip, Tea three oil from The Body shop is also great for dark spot. I used to use bio oil, but it does not wor for me anymore.

In the morning, I use raw egg as a mask which is also great for facial mask and fighting acne.

10 Ways to keep kids occupied in restaurant

1.      Always take a pen and paper.  There are lots of games that you can play with just those two things such as hangman, noughts and crosses and squares.

2.      Restaurants are getting much better at supplying kids activities pack.  We recently tried out the new menu at Frankie and Bennys and their kids activity pack kept my boys busy till their food came, plus the pencils were great too.

3.      We also play family guessing games such as eye spy, A-Z (we often do animals or countries), “I’m thinking of” this game involves us guessing what animal the other is thinking off, but we can only ask yes or no questions.

4.      Colouring and activity pages are great for younger children.

5.      I always have dobble in my handbag.  it is our favorite family compact game at the moment.  When the boys were younger they loved dino dice.

6.      For kids that need to use their hands then having a small bag of pipe cleaners or play dough is great.  This allows them to keep those fingers busy.

7.      Origami is great for older kids, you can use some of that paper that you have played games on. Mine love making finger puppets and then they can put on a show.

8.      Now my boys are getting bigger we LOVE mad libs.  We often end up all sitting laughing out loud at the answers!

9.      A small bag of LEGO is a great way of keeping kids occupied and if your child particularly loves LEGO, then put together a portable LEGO travel kit and you could even add patten cards to it.

10.   A portable car play kit is a great idea for car mad kids.

Effective Carreer Tips!

Hello my loves! I hope you all are doing well! I just wanted to share some career tips based on my working experience in the Netherlands for the past five years.  First tip, if you are a foreigner in a foreign country such as the Netherlands it might be challenging to find an ideal desired job, all you have to do is keep persisting in case you are rejected 100 times during your solicitation, never give up. If you are lucky enough and find a job, do your very best to keep it! I have been lucky enough to have a job in the health care, beauty and restaurants in the Netherlands. I have also been working as a social worker and beauty consultant. You do not have to wait for your dream job, just find something doing, while doing the job you found you might fall in love with it. My last but not the least tip is to always have a positive behaviour at work, smile, do not be late at work and dress appropriately.

Nevertheless, It is  very important to find a job you love, find a sheet of paperr, write down things you love doing for example, writing, gaming, cycling, modelling and so on and start a research on company associated with your passion, approach them and show them you are really passionate in their field, create a Linkdin profile!

I hope these tips are helpful!

I love you so much

Red dress & Brown Hat

Hello!!! Happy Weekend!! This outfit is one of my favs ever! I LOVE matching separates. Only these two didn't come together! Lol. I am wearing a red short dress I got from a Lingerie shop in Rotterdam more than four years ago. I really love the quality of the red dress, after all these years, it looks gorgeous and stylish. I decided to style it with my brown hat I got from Paris when we went for my birthday vacation earlier this year. My hand bag is from DKNY and my heels is from Van Haren shoe shop in The Netherlands!

I hope this look inspires you.

White and Gold

Hello my loves! Happy Sunday! This past week I had a business meeting in Veere in The Netherlands! This was what I decided to wear before and after the meeting for a photosession. I feel like I always  tie african head gear on my head, so I decided to use it  around my shoulder to give my look more sophistication.

I recently picked up the white top online, and I decided to wear my white dress as a shirt. I am really loving it. Incase you do not have alot of cloths, you can try to  improvise by using your top as a skirt sometimes or a dress as a skirt in order to create new unique look.

I hope this look inspires you.

I love you so so much! xoxo
