Beautiful Life - Lindsay Lohan

God wont talk to me
I guess she's pretty busy lately
I'd like to believe
She's listening

I'm starting to feel
All of my bruises imagined are real
And I'll get through each day
I dig through the bad ones
To get to the good ones
Who's keeping score anyway?

And this is my beautiful life
only thing certain is everything changes
The lows and the highs
And all those goodbyes
As hard as it gets I know it's still amazing
To be alive
It's a beautiful life

I talk in my sleep
Thats the one place i know no one can hear me
I tell myself things
Don't walk in the shadows
There's always tomorrow
And I'm right where i wanna be

And this is my beautiful life
only thing's certain is everything changes
The lows and the highs
And all those goodbyes
As hard as it gets I know it's still amazing
To be alive

It hurts while it's happening
I wanna feel everything
How can you know til you try?
And this is my beautiful life

My beautiful life
only thing's certain is everything changes
The lows and the highs
And all those goodbyes
As hard as it gets I know it's still amazing
To be alive
It's a beautiful life [3x]
It's a beautiful lie 


Introduced to this sound from "The Hills", one of the soundtracks. Loved it every since. "I know its still amazing to be alive, It's a beautiful life."

GOSSIP GIRL'S jenny inspired outfit!!

I am going to be the number one source into the fashion and style from Gossip Girl. My favorite character’s style is none other than Jenny Humphrey (Taylor Momsen). No shocker in the series itself she plays the role of an aspiring fashion designer. I love Jenny’s updated 80’s rocker style taste, thus why I was inspired to create a look for Machel Montano’s concert and other carnival fetes that I will be attending. Its the time of the year when I am inexplicably happy since one can truly express their creativity and share fashionable ideas with friends. CARNIVAL!! Here I am going to depict how easy it is to dress like Jenny. She establishes the “look for less” on gossip girl, so it would be fab to express her style here.

My first piece I used was my satin tube top, which I brought from forever21 along with the sequins skirt. These items can also be found in stores such as Bang Bang and Eastern Avenue located in Port of Spain and San Fernando.  I matched the two together, both black (jenny’s signature colour and my favourite) and complimented it with black booties.  Suite16 shoes store in Trinicity Mall is an excellent place to find trendy and affordable heels. I then finished my look with smokey black eye shadow and a signature black necklace along with my headband. Yes, “all black everything!!”

10 steps to a perfect at-home pedicure!!

Ladies cracked heels, corn and unpolished nails (meaning nail polish started peeling off) is NOT ever attractive. You want to always display proper hygiene, show that YOU mean alot to yourself, enough to always be trim, prim and proper. Always love and take care of YOU first! Here are ten effective steps to allow yourself to have a pedicure at home. Your budget depends on the items you wish to purchase or use. It is very cost efficient, quick and effective. Pamper yourself!!!! :)


1. Buff feet when dry, not wet. To really shift dead skin. Use a sturdy foot file and focus on the heels, balls of feet and edges of toes.

2. Fill a bowl with warm water and add a reviving foot soak which helps strengthen and whiten nails. Soak feet for 10 minutes. If you can lay your hands on some marbles, pop them in the bowl and roll your feet back and forth over them for a blissful DIY massage!

3. Massage feet briskly with a foot scrub to get rid of the last dregs of dead skin, then rinse.

4. Dry your feet and gently ease back your cuticles with a cuticle stick.

5. Cut your nails straight across with nail clippers. Make lots of little snips, rather than all at once, or you might break your nail.

6. Use a nail file to gently round the edges of your toenails so they don't snag your tights.

7. Massage your feet with a rich foot lotion.

8. For the ultimate treat, apply foot lotion before bedtime, wrap them in cling film, then add some socks and hop into bed. Wake up to dreamy-soft soles!

9. If you want to add some colour, wipe off the foot lotion from your nails using a damp cotton wool pad. Then add a base coat, two layers of polish and a high-shine topcoat.

10. For a low-maintenance finish add a coat of stain corrector which instantly brightens your nail tip and makes the nail bed pinker and prettier.

Fashionista!!: Life is to short to blend in..2011!

Life is to short to blend in..2011!

The year 2011 is not only a new year, but a new decade.  This idea should indulge an entirely new generation of thought in other words “out with the old and in with the new.”  New Year’s Eve is upon us, which means time to decide what is going to be worn to bring in the New Year. 

When I think about New Year’s Eve, the two “D” words pop into my head: Dazzling and Dramatic. I have gathered together some easy fashion tips from constant observation of my favorite celebrities, to assist in preparations for welcoming the New Year in style.

Firstly, I would start with the hair. For those who desire a change there is one rule…Just Change It! Select a hair color that suits you, your complexion and without hesitation change your hair color. For a more dramatic look, Rihanna has sported a Red hair color that is absolutely gorgeous. 


As for those who are more reserved or conservative, try the “Side up-do” look.  Its very easy is do and very effective. Start by curling your hair with a large-barrel curling iron. Next, loosely braid your hair to the side. After securing with a woggle, break up the braid with your fingers and softly twist the braid against your head to create a rolled effect. Pin to secure and touch up any front pieces with a curling iron to finish.

Put it up: It's a lot easier to keep an up do looking perky all night than it is to keep every hair in place if you're wearing it down. Try a French twist or a messy low bun for options that will stay perfectly in place for hours.

Now let’s discuss outfits. If you’re thinking about a lady like polish then you should go for the round neck- line tops and full skirts or dresses with the full skirt bottom. Remember to use a belt to accentuate your flattering figure and define your waist line. However, if you’re the centre of attention kind of girl you should consider a strap-less colorful, printed dress or top with a playful full skirt. There is also the sexy lace and low neck line dresses for the flirtatious look. You can use accessories and perfectly high stilettos to create a shinny or dazzled finish, to make your look holiday party perfect. I got into the habit of using glitter eye shadow over the dramatic look (YouTube). It’s flirty and festive.

Keep in mind that the key elements are to be dazzled and dramatic. Be confident and look the part. Embrace the new year/decade and be safe. As Paris Hilton said “The only rule is don't be boring and dress cute wherever you go. Life is too short to blend in.” Have a Happy New year!!! <3 <3 xo!
