Why I love Cross Bags…
Hello lovelies, I am sorry I have been off for a while, but I was so busy with a new project that I am preparing for…
Today’s blog is about why I love cross-bags. I sort of always wanted to write about this topic and this season is absolutely the right time.

Cross-bags are the perfect accessory for hands free Christmas shopping. You don’t want to go shopping with a big bag that weights 10 kilos. I recently read an article on how women can actually use it’s heavy bag to do some training…but still, please let’s leave those triceps and biceps exercises for the gym. Cross-bags distribute the weight of the bag over all the body instead of centralizing it on one shoulder and causing back pains.

Moreover oversized bags are on my black list for short girls. If you’re short, I highly recommend small cross-bags that fit proportionally with your body.
Investing in a cross-bag is a wise decision. As shown by past trends, cross-bags fashion did not die out and will never do.

Further more, cross-bags are the only bags you can buy in loud colors. Personally Most of my big bags are in pastel hue or black because imagine a big red bag!!! However a tiny cross-bag alongside your chest in red would be flawless. Chanel cross-bags in neon green were a hit this season.

So a cross bag is a must have in your closet. It could be worn casually or if going to a party. Cross bags are faultless if you are on a trip or attending a concert…on my last trip to Rome I couldn’t been more thankful for having a cross bag that fits under my coat on those long cold sightseeing walks….

Fight Breast Cancer with color….
A pop of color isn’t just great for your closet, it’s a smart strategy for your plate too!!!!
Women who ate more carrots, spinach, pepper , and garlic have found to reduce their cancer risk by more than 20 percent. Salmon and berries should also be added to your plate at least twice a week.
Today’s topic may be far from fashion but it’s a sad reality that we are hearing about everyday. It’s reaching people we love and whom are close to us, therefore raising awareness became a must. Eat more healthy , exercise more, do you yearly checkup and these tiny changes will slash your cancer risk by half.
Keratin straightening : the good and the bad….
A friend of mine called me two days ago taking my opinion whether she does keratin treatment for her hair or not. She lives abroad, in a remote area and she is a working mother , so she doesn’t have much time to go to a salon and have her hair done.
Keratin technique or what is also known as Brazilian straightening guarantees a straight hair for a period of approximately six months. When it comes to keratin we all have so many unanswered interrogations. Is it healthy ? Does it dry out hair ? What will be the condition of the hair after six month ?
During the six month period, your hair will start growing and it will become curly from the roots. Once the treatment is gone your hair will not come back the same . You will loose those wavy curls and you will have a straight lifeless dull hair unless you relax it from straightening for a very long period. You will then understand what your friends with natural straight hair always complained about .
Add to that, keratin is safe for your hair , yes. For the rest of your body, not very much . When heated , some keratin treatments release a dangerous level of “formaldehyde” , a carcinogen that can cause Instant burning and irritation in your eyes and nose.
Still want a treatment ?
Make sure the salon is very well ventilated and the hairdresser is aware and knowledgeable of the process.
Let’s Stop Looking For “The One”
When will I meet the one? We hear that question so often. All girls would like to know how and where they can find their soolmate…. WELL STOP!
Did you ever hear the Buddhist proverbial quote “When the student is ready the master will appear”; Ladies we all want to meet the one and sometimes we feel that we are born to find him; but we can’t keep on stressing ourselves with this idea!! Stressing ourselves won’t make things any better, but it is going to keep us anxious all the time.
Ladies!! The one is not someone that you can seek, and it is not someone who will seek you; you will come together by destiny and fate; so instead of searching for “the one”, search for yourselves! It is the only one you need to search for; enjoy your moments and let it go and when the time comes you will be ready don’t worry 😉
And meanwhile Some shopping would help!
