Hellooo my beautiful friends! Today I decided to share with you the reason why looking your best is essential. By making your Hair Style, Makeup and Outfit styling, makes you feel better, your mood is better and your confidence level would be increased. It is so important for men and women to take good care of themselves. Personal grooming includes wearing neat cloths, stylish clean hair cut, Manicure and Pedicure.

I am a beauty consultant in The Netherlands and I can assure you looking good is good business. If I was looking unkept, you would not like to watch this movie or my photos, you would click it way. People judge you based on your appearance. Whether we like it or not.

If you change your look, you will change your life. Image or your appearance can make a huge impact in your life.  I usually look at my older pictures and comparing with my recent pictures to analyse what have changed, I have noticed that now I dress better, wear better makeup, and chose the right accessories. It is very important to pay attention to your appearance.

You have to make more time to look nice. We all do not have time, but we create time.

Understanding why you should dress up every day is essential and makes you stand out from the crowd.

Even if you have kids, and do not have sufficient time, you can make time.  Use more time for yourself instead of spending more time on Instagram, Facebook admiring other people’s photos. Putting a little makeup using little concealer, lip-gloss is so important. When people look at you, they look at your hair, nails, and outfit.

It is fine to accept yourself the way you are, but it is important to add extra effort in dressing up.For your hair, you can just blow dry it, add a little serum and make it look nicer.

You do not have to wear expensive clothes or makeup to look great, you can wear affordable makeup from drugstore such as Kruidvat, Iciparis, and Douglas. Cloths from V&D, De Bijenkorf, We, Nelly, Asos are great shops to shop.

Let’s not forget food. Good healthy balance is great. Working hard is also a must!

You can watch some YouTube videos to get  you inspired on how to dress properly and do better makeup. It will help you a lot!

I hope these tips inspires you!

I love you so so much

Effective Carreer Tips!

Hello lovely! I hope you all are doing well. I just wanted to share some career tips based on my working experience in the Netherlands for the past five years.  First tip, if you are a foreigner in a foreign country such as the Netherlands, it might be challenging to find an ideal desired job.

All you have to do is keep persisting in case you are rejected 100 times during your solicitation, never give up. If you are lucky enough and find a job, do your very best to keep it! I have been lucky enough to have a job in the health care, beauty and restaurants in the Netherlands. I have also been working as a social worker and beauty consultant. You do not have to wait for your dream job, just find something doing, while doing the job you found you might fall in love with it. My last but not the least tip is to always have a positive behaviour at work, smile, do not be late at work and dress appropriately.

Nevertheless, It is  very important to find a job you love, find a sheet of paper, write down things you love doing for example, writing, gaming, cycling, modelling and so on, and start a research on company associated with your passion, approach these companies and show them you are really passionate in their field, create a Linkedin profile!

I hope these few tips are helpful! Good luck!

xoxo

I love you so much

3 Ingredients to reduce Stress!

 

Hello my amazing friends, Here are some few tips I practice on daily basis in order to reduce and minimize stress.

Exercise-

Exercise is a spectacular way to minimize stress, being active is very important fit the body and soul. You can try to do some yoga, go for a long walk, mountain biking and so on.  Constant exercise helps you to stay in shape and you can achieve a fabulous body. As the saying goes, practice what you preach. I do at least 100 sit ups on daily basis an walk and bike 10 Km minimum every day. You can also try to often move your head back and forth and also your legs to reduce the tension.”  Just like the ‘Watch me Nae Nae’ song movement lol.

A warm bath and foot massage is also vital.

Healthy Diet

Eat healthy, avoid excessive drinking and smoking. Eating healthy makes your skin glow, ensuring balance diet is important for healthy looking skin and glow. In case you have something bothering you. Try not to let it weigh you down, rather write it down and do some soul searching, after a while you would able to find solutions to it.

Be Grateful

Be happy with what you have. Be joyous and appreciate what you have!  Its God’s blessing to be alive, so try to appreciate the breath you have and good health. Be strong, prayerful and stay positive. Most of all, be hardworking. Do what you love, spend some quality time with friends and family, avoid heat up arguments and stay safe!

BEAUTY SHOOT AT MY HOME IN THE NETHERLANDS

14-08-15

Falling down is how we grow! Staying down is how we die! Brian Vasily.

It weekend today, I have been busy for the past two hours creating these amazing shoot with a very professional photographer from Belgium who came to my home to shoot me. I have been modelling for more than 13 ears, and love love creating images. Every image is unique and has a great element to it. I wore three outfits during my shoot. My tips for you as an upcoming model is to make sure you have your hair and makeup well done and be prepared before a shoot. Make sure you have all your dresses, outfit , shoes ready too. The photographer gave me great compliment today about how groomed my skin is, well thanks to the beauty school I went in The Netherlands where I earned my diplomas in skin care, Make-Up cosmetics and Perfume. I am glad I have done the training because now, I can happily don my makeup during my photo session and have a clean skin which is appealing to the camera.

Thanks for reading! I hope these lovely pictures inspires you!

Thanks Bob for the amazing pictures!

xoxo
