Dream Come True

Hey everyone!

I am really sorry for being away for too long!

So... Today I am going to share with you one of my favourite singers! His name is John Mayer, you probably know him as Katty's Perry ex-boyfriend!

Nowadays:

At the Grammys 

After,  I guess, 9 years likeing him, he is finally coming to Brazil! Firstly he was comig just for Rock in Rio, but then he decided to perform in São Paulo on his "Born & Raised world tour 2013"! And I am going!!!! It was one of the happiest days when I found it out!

Well, if you don't know him I am going to present!  He is a American boy, from Connecticut and he started his studies in music in Boston, but he decided to quit and then moved to Atlanta where started to become famous. His first album of all was "Room for Squares" and his new album is "Born & Raised". Also a few time ago he had cancer wich made him stop for a while, but now he is fine!

I started to like him when my father presented his first album to me... It was love at the first sight!
A few of my favourite songs:

There are many others that I love! If you liked him and you want to know more I would be glad to help, and if you knew him already tell me what is your favourite song!

Dare To Be Yourself

You know, people... In the past few weeks I've been putting myself in some situations I know that are wrong and bring me no good. Situations like standing in front of a mirror and pointing all and every single flaw I reckon I own. I've been accusing myself for not looking like everyone expects me to, and this is causing me pain, frustration and guilt. As far as I'm concerned, no one's perfect. But this ''judging sessions'' of mine ignore this fact and emphasises that everybody is seeking for perfection. And I have to do this too. Furthermore, something keeps whispering into my mind that, of all the people that I know, I'm easily the one who has the greatest number of flaws. It's not about being pretty or not pretty. It's about feeling enough or, in many cases, not enough.
However, making a way through these harsh weeks gave me the opportunity to make my mind up about this little battle inside me and get everything to be clear. You know when you see a stunning person and wonder to yourself ''Oh my God, this person must be so happy, he/she is flawless!"? Yeah, I've happened to think to myself like that, too. Several times. But we're wrong. Being stunning isn't a synonym of being happy. I don't even know where we got this idea from. Another thing I always do is to compliment my beautiful friends and get answers like ''Oh, I wish'' or "C'mon, you must be kidding". I realized that a lot - and I might say - all of us are going through the same path: struggling to deal with who we are.
So, firstly, I had to face the fact that life isn't made to be perfect. Neither do we. And I decided that every time I looked in the mirror from that moment on, I would dare myself to be who I am. Dare myself to be okay. Dare myself to love me. And I came here to say that if you've ever felt the way I felt, you're not alone. Make a enjoyable way through life, do not struggle with it. Dare yourself to be who you are today, and find out that you're way way way better than you thought you were. Look at the mirror and smile, instead of getting disappointed with yourself for being the way you are. No, we're not perfect. But we really don't need to be.

Thoughts, thoughts... Somethings About Life

Sometimes, we may think we're too young to understand what life's about. Our parents say us so. The society say us so. The whole world look at us and says us so. But these days, I was wondering that the younger you are, the more rightful you understand it. A child has time to appreciate a singing bird, but as we grow up, we can't waste time on that anymore. A kid can enjoy the raining sound, bur for us, it's only a hamper in our precise routine. For how long will we take our lifes this way? I don't know about too many things, but some things I know for sure: I don't want to become an human without compassion; I don't want to miss the tiny little details that make life precious; I don't want to lock myself in a room during the whole day to the rest of my life; I don't want to get used to the war, to not saying 'good morning' in the lift, to not having contact, knowing another humans. I don't want to spend my life without listening to stories; I don't want to go through the street without caring about the homeless people. I don't want to talk without having eye contact. I don't want to touch people superficially; I want to mark them. I want to change some lifes and I want my life to be changed by people. It doesn't matter the subject we're talking about: fashion, beauty, photography, politcs, arts, cinema. We're talking. And this is the sign that all of us were waiting for: we're not becoming one of them. We're not becoming loveless human beings. We're getting closer. And by getting closer, we're creating deep relationships. And by that, we're acting in our dream: to be and to let be; to change and to let be changed; to act; to believe; to listen and to let be listened; to love and to let be loved; to admire, and to let be admired. I still believe - and strongly do - that we can, beyond understanding this world, we can be part of it. 

2 in 1 Post

Hello everyone!

I am really sorry for being away for so long... I am so going to try to don't do this again ok?!

Well, as a apology today I am doing a 2 in 1 post! Ahahah  something that I just invented! So, I am going to talk about to things in the same post!

I have got some new makeup products that I'd like to share with you, but today I will talk about a nail polisher and about an iPhone lens.

So let's do it!

Well, as you all were able to see THE COLOR OF THE YEAR IS EMERALD! I got all this nail polish at the Sephora store! I don't really remember the price, but the color is pretty amazing, I would say, one of my favourite green color in a few times. So I have not tried this yet, but as soon as I know it's Sephora stuff, that's why I would say it is good!  The package is really practical, also is not just one nail polish are 3! I guess it is pretty worth it.  I went to the Sephora website to check the price and it is US$18.00 (no tax). You may think this is expensive, but it is not! If you compare with the package that comes just 1 and costs US$10.00 (no tax). 

Emerald have already been shown up on red carpet, bags, shoes, clothes and many others!

Even Princess has being using it! 

Well this is my beauty/fashion advice for today!

Now the second subject! 

The pictures taken of the nail polish were taken by my iPhone camera! Yes it is true! I just had to use a Olloclip lens to create this amazing effects! 

The Olloclip lens is a 3 in one lenses that has Fish Eye, Macro and Wide Angle! The quality of the picture is excellent it is really practical! The price is about to US$69.99 (no tax). Here is a video:

Does anyone has one of this two things?! 

Tell me right down in the comments!

Beauty Candy

Hello everyone! Firstly I'd like to apologise for my huge absence during this month. I'm quite busy at school these days, but I'll manage to post more often! So, how you guys have been? 

I came here today to share with you an amazing beauty product I've discovered! This week I was talking with one of my friends and she kept picking up some pinky gummy bears from her bag and I happened to ask her what was it. Then, she answered me with a simple quote "Beauty Candy, didn't you hear about that?'' 

The thing is: these tiny little gummy bears are a huge success around Brazil and now in the UK. They're part of a range called "Beauty'in" created by a brazilian entrepreneur Cristina Arcangeli. And, even though I live in Brazil, I didn't hear about that until now. 

I've tried one of these and I instantly got addicted. These gummy bears are delicious! And besides that, they're miraculous! They're boosted with collagen (an important element that gives elasticity to the skin, making it look a lot younger and healthier) and victamins A, C and E that act as an antiage too. The small package contains around 12 units (which is the ideal quantity for a day) and costs 7,00 reais (something around 2,50 pounds). It's a bit expansive, I know. But it really worths the price. 

The small candies are avaliable in 4 different flavours: raspberry, lemon, orange and strawberry. They're not as sweet as the usual gummy bears, as they're a beauty and healthy product that contains 0 sugar and fat, but I need to say that they taste incredibly good and can put and end to that sweet-hunger we have now and then. 

Have you ever tried this kind of product? Do you think it works? Share with us in the comments!
