I hope you feel beautiful today

I'm not very good at doing my hair nicely, but I saw this on the Internet, tried and ... succeed!

"you take me as i am, for all my faults and problems
and you build me to withstand every gust and every gale
and if i knew i was going to die, well i'd be satisfied
'cos we've shared this moment..."

beau - tip

I began to polish my nails 6 years ago...don't really remember exactly when, but what I do remember is an advice my mother gave me once :
Never paint the entire nail, but let some space on each side, it will give an effect of length.
Since then, I always did that way and find it much  cleaner, less "heavy" and classy...


(this is only my personal opinion and I'm not judging anyone...I know that I have no qualifications about beauty so you can disagree with my point of view)

 

and this technic applies for feet too!

 

 

“ ’cause I sold my spirit for your soul

I felt it running through my fingertips
I love you more than you will know
And I hope you understand
My strength lies in your hands
…
You took my only one, when I only wanted love,
When I only wanted love…”                                      Boy & Bear**

sparkling new year

I'm not that bling-bling, but, sometimes, glitter is necessary!
Happy new year!!

“...the lights are flashing

 Down in here tonight
 And some might exchange a glance
 But keep pretending to dance
 Don't act like it's not happening
 As if it's impolite
 To go and mention your name
 Instead you'll just do the same
As they all do, and hope for the best...”             > Arctic Monkeys

"Lately, I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But baby, I've been, I've been praying hard,
Said no more counting dollars
We'll be counting stars, yeah we'll be counting stars.."  > One Republic

It's a cold world outside
Oh anyway, it's gonna stay that way
So if I keep myself from moving on ..."            > Jake Bugg

bang bang bangs!

A german song says : "a new haircut for a new life"...I don't know if it's true, but I really like my new face with bangs!
I was a bit worried before cutting it, looking at pictures of celebs to try to figure out, but now, I'm so pleased with it!

cold is coming...

but I love that dull, red-coloured, cold days of November...

"I went back, I went back to your love
And I felt so many wrongs
That I wasted on you by the crowd
And I called, you called me
And I whispered your name
I went home, we stared blank
To the pages I loved

Well, I just wanna compliment your soul
I just wanna compliment your soul
Yeah, I just wanna compliment..."
