Being positive means you are choosing to see the bright and beautiful side of things. It means that you can recognize that struggle and pain are not the only things out there, even if they are the only things you can see at the time, It means you are trying to do all within your power/abilities to rise above all negativity. No matter whether you are learning to be positive or trying to stay positive, I hope these tips will help you stay optimistic and it will help you look on the bright side, even if you aren’t sure one exists, believe me sometimes I yell at the universe and ask it to please give me a break!! but then I realise my experiences are what make me who I am today.

 Our homes can really represent who we are. If you wake up and live in a positive environment, you are likely to be able to carry that attitude over to your everyday life. What we do at home shapes our mood, has an impact on our productivity, and affects our outlook on life, I love to surround myself with bright and positive colours because they help boost my mood, I stare at a section in my home and close my eyes, I visualise every outcome I desire, Of cos, it's not "Hocus Pocus" but it does help you feel calm.

Lipstick can't solve all problems but it's a great start lol, choosing the right lipstick for your lips is very important as you all know we all have different lip shapes and sizes, For example - even though I love red lipstick, I have to choose the shade carefully or I could end up looking like "Bobo The Clown or IT the Clown". Red lipstick is the go-to for me and for many ladies as it makes your lips bigger and fuller.

Here's my advice- Go Darker for a Bolder Look

When choosing a lip liner, it doesn’t need to be the exact same shade as the lipstick you want to use, it really depends on the look you’re trying to achieve. For a more dramatic, defined, and sexy lip, then you can go one or two shades deeper or would I say Darker than your lipstick but stick to the same shade family. 

One advice I took seriously was to always choose a lip liner in the same color family as your lipstick. For example, if your lipstick has purple undertones, choose a lip liner that also has purple undertones. If you’re using red lipstick, use a red lip liner, some people try to use dark pink or a pink liner but this would clash – know that the lip liner and lipstick don’t need to be identical, it should be in the same shade family so when you apply it, It will blend in perfectly with your lipstick giving you that perfect finish.

When it comes to choosing the right lip color, it’s all about your skin tone.

Fair skin: Nudes and corals will give your look a polished finish; opt for red as a bold color. Walk away from burgundy - it’ll wash you out!

Pink undertones: Stick with your natural palette - pinks, corals, and orangish-red all look super glam. Stay away from blue-based reds, though - it’ll take your look in the wrong direction.

Olive-toned skin: Almost anything goes! Over at Beauty Riot, Stapleton suggests coral will turn heads. Avoid colours that clash with your undertones, like browns and purplish reds.

Yellow undertones: Opt for reds that have blue as a base tone. Nudes and bronze colors also work like a dream.

Dark skin: Make a big splash with reds and corals, which will contrast with your skin tone in an oh-so-perfect way.

A little secret, As much as I love makeup, I do not apply makeup daily, I love giving my skin the chance to breathe, However, the reason I love wearing lipstick lately is that it can act as a protective shield both physically and emotionally, I wear it on good days and bad days. when you look in the mirror even when you are not going out, the right lipstick shade gives you a feeling- that you can conquer the world, now I am not saying you won't feel this way without lipstick on but most of you queens reading this know exactly what I am talking about. It gives me that feeling that I am about to take on a powerful project and excel at it, I know it may seem or sound silly. I mean, it’s just lipstick but It does do the trick.

BEAUTY : PHYTOMER'S NEW FACE-CARE LINE - CYFOLIA IS GIVING ME SO MUCH LIFE.

Taking care of your skin is more important than covering it up. As you all know, I have very sensitive skin and I am always looking for the best and most natural products to try and I have a feeling I have found it. Let me tell you more about PHYTOMER's Organic Skin Care Line- CYFOLIA.

 Phytomer is a French marine skincare brand and they recently launched "Cyfolia", a new skincare collection developed by scientists to be kind to both the skin and the sea. What exactly is CYFOLIA? - It's an organic algae that is grown and sustainably harvested in Brittany. The recent events in the world today has really impacted us all in different ways, I have also noticed that our skins have been affected too, as many of you know "Stress" plays a huge part when it comes to damaging the skin and causing breakouts, this is the time for some Skin-Vestment - This simply means "The act of putting Money, Time and Effort into your skin to keep it healthy and glowing.

So before I decide to write an article about a product I like to personally try it out, I did a Mini Facial using products in the Cyfolia Organic collection which include - Radiance Cleansing Cream, Radiance Exfoliating Cream flecked with natural exfoliating particles, and Radiance Hydra-Comforting Cream and it did soothe and nourish my skin but the main goal was to enhance radiance.

As you all already know I am a "Water Child" and the Sea is my Home, I love using water elements for a lot of things I do in my daily life that's why when I found out that PHYTOMER takes pride in their work, they also believe that "nature is a luxury and that the sea remains an infinite source of beauty and good health", this statement from them really melted my heart and made me fall more deeply in love with their brand.

Any good skincare routine starts with cleansing. Like Duh? You say, but a lot of people think you don’t need to cleanse in the morning, Well my dear actually - you do! If you don’t have much time, use a cotton pad soaked in water, but I would recommend using CYFOLIA Radiance Cleansing Cream, I love how soft and velvety it felt when I applied it to my face, It has a beautiful texture, so soothing, Many people don't know this but the type of cleanser you use matters more than you think it does — Too many people cleanse too much or too often or with a cleanser that's too harsh, and it will actually break down your skin barrier, but if you cleanse with an Organic and Vegan-Friendly Products that are made to be Kind to your skin is definitely the way to go.
