The Reasons to Feel Fabulous Turning 40

I remember how excited I was when I turned 20 (even though it was so very very long ago). It was the start of being an adult. Turning 30 was a bit depressing and worrisome because I felt I was getting more mature and what would life be like after that? As we know 40 is half way to 80 years old and it's not as scary as we thought it should be. Yes, it seems like our milestones are going to the end, but let’s think in another way. We don't have much time left so we should be happy and do what we love to do. Cut out all the crabs in our life and care for people we love and who love us. I have learned so much from my past and gained more attitude than when I was young that makes me so sure why I feel fabulous turning 40. Let me show you what the reasons are. 


1. I know how to say “No”. We all have tried so many things in our life. We tried all the food or activities we might like. Some might have tried smoking, getting a tattoo etc. In the past I would feel the need to make excuses for things I did not want to do or try. Now I’m willing to say No for the things I don't want to do without to bring up the excuse why I don't like it. No longer to pretend to like something when I really don’t. Being true to yourself is an amazing feeling. 

 2. I don't care anymore how people think. Only care for people I love and who love me. Those people who don't know me, how they think does not matter to me anymore. We all don't need hundreds of friends. By the time we turn 40 we have weeded out some of the friends who bring us down and keep the ones who are positive and support you. Don't waste time with haters, instead, concentrate on the people who love you. 

3. I plan to use the time I have left on this earth to accomplish things I can manage. Time to check my bucket list: 
  •  Taking part in a 5k run 
  •  Backpacking trip with my son 
  •  Spend time at Spa together with my mom 
  •  Visit Salsa dance nightclub 
  •  Trip to Maldives Island 
  •  Participate in Yoga & Music festivals 
  •  Pay it forward 
  • Sing along when my son play instrument 
  • learn 3rd language 
  • take basic pistol shooting course

My lists still grow more as the times pass by. Do what make us feel great and that will make us happy for sure. 

4. I know how to get pass someone opinion because it's just opinion. People who we don't like we can't change them but we can change our response to them. Know how to let it go, how to not say anything or how to walk away silently. 

5. As I approach 40 I discover to love myself and my body, love the way I am. Yoga is a tool to make me discover this amazing feeling. I feel strong and have the best body in my life. To explore what is best for me and makes me feel beautiful inside and out. Once we learn to love our self we start to search out what the best for our body. Using products free from dangerous ingredients is one of them, as we know part of our body go down hill when we turn 40. For example hair. Better to use shampoo without sodium laureth sulfate or conditioner without silicone. After eliminating those chemicals, you will notice your hair won't fall out as much. Safe products can make you feel better, trust me. Not only good for yourself, for the planet also. 


Soon to be 40 years old and I know for sure it will be fabulous and I will be thankful to have reached it. Celebrate to all 40 years old life to be!

Montessori Classroom


I have a better understanding of the educational term “student’s self center” after researching Montessori method of education developed by Italian physician and educator Maria Montessori.
The central idea of the Montessori system is that all children display within themselves the person they will become. The Montessori classroom provides the environment and materials the child needs for his/her personal development which allows them the freedom to choose their activities according to their own personal interests and readiness in a non-competitive environment.
I love this philosophy because it takes the focus off my son’s test scores  and makes learning fun for him while allowing him to discover the things that interest him most. Those parents having the same idea as me, to foster a love of learning in their child would do well to look into this method of education.
I would like to share  some information I have about how to choose the right Montessori school. First of all you need to understand the classroom where the teacher’s first duty is to watch over the environment, and this takes precedence over all the rest – Maria Montessori. Children will learn through hands-on activity, working on their own at what captures their interest.  Some people might call it play, but it is play that they will learn from.
Teachers will guide each child individually, the goal being to make the child more independent and more able to do things for himself, increasing confidence and self esteem they may carry throughout their life.
Things to look for in a Montessori school:
An environment that is safe for the child to explore freely.
An environment that invites the child to work, learn and explore.
The teachers should be qualified and trained in the Montessori method.
The Montessori classroom allows children to return to the "inner peace" that is a natural part of their personalities.
Be diligent in researching schools. Some claim to be Montessori, but are not.

I’m happy about the Montessori method because I believe finding out about one's self is most important. Learning not just the answer, but how to arrive at the answer . I hope this will be part of my son as he grows up.

Last Minute Holiday Gift Idea from M A C

M A C
PRIMPED OUT : HOLIDAY LIPS & BRUSH KITS
Bag: Lavish Coral



I decided to give myself a Christmas gift as I couldn’t resist this chic style leopard print from M A C. I’d like to introduce you to MAC’s lavish coral bag. I love it and I’m sure any girl who likes makeup will love it too. This cute leopard print comes with Lipstick in Shy Girl Creamsheen (top seller), Glass in Kiss me softly and Lip Pencil in Boldly Bare. I was looking for nude lipstick to match with my tan skin and it’s really hard to find one.  Mostly the color really washes out. This coral nude looks good on yellow undertone like me. Nude lips, should match best with strong eye makeup like smokyeyes.

 

 I researched makeup brushes and found M A C has good quality brushes.  Of course I don’t miss the chance when M A C comes out with Perfectly Plush Brush kit: Essential. I chose this set because it comes with foundation brush; the brushes are small and good for traveling. Also good for someone looking for starter brush kits.

Arm & Butt Workout!!!


Here’s something you’ll love to learn. This arm workout is easy to follow and doesn’t take much time. I use 2 pound weights as I think it’s enough for me to handle. Arm exercise will give you strong muscles and tone your upper-body.
On VSX this is the sexiest workout. I love the straight punch and triple jab. It’s fun and my three year old son likes to do it too. I’m not good with push-ups, so I think it's better to pick the workout that suits you. The 2nd, Zumba toning, it’s fun and easy.


I’m not happy with my butt so I try to find exercises to strengthening and tightening my butt, hips and thighs. From the VSX work out for butt, I like leg raise because you can do it anywhere in the house, even in the washroom. Just lean on the counter and raise your leg up. Remember do what you can do, pick your favorite one and enjoy doing it.

Halloween Glamour Make Up Ideas

Halloween is just days away! But if you’re still clueless over what costume you’ll do. Make up look can eliminate the stress of pulling together clothes and accessories at the last minute. I will show you some makeup ideas for your Halloween party, to be glamorous and fabulous.
1. The Mermaid
Shimmering eye shadows in shades of white, purple, bronze and the colors of the sea, green and blue. Putting fishnet stockings on your head or any part of your body then brush shimmer eye shadow over stocking. Use gold shimmer over your brown. For lips, you can use purple lipsticks.
2. Sexy Vampire
Red eyes, bitten red lips and blood red nails are hot for Halloween. Apply foundation a few shades lighter than your natural skin color. Next apply an eye shadow base to the entire eyelid area and extend upward towards the brow bone. Eyeliner:  Line the base of your bottom lashes and apply a thick layer around the top lid and wing out when you reach the corners to create a cat eye effect. To create this Ombre Lip look, start by using a black lip liner (you can even use black eyeliner for this) and outline the outside corners of your lips. Smudge a moderate amount towards the middle of you lip. Apply a wet-finish lip gloss to the center of your bottom lip and use a lip brush to blend it in.
3. Spider web eye makeup
You can start with water proof eyeliner and follow with Long-lasting liquid liner. You also do make-up tricks. They are stick on face art (eyeliner sticker) and disposable eye shadow applicator designs.
Face Lace

 ColorOn Professional Instant Eye Shadow Applicators

Finish up with Sally Hansen's Halloween Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips. Salon Effects Real Nail Polish strips are super easy to apply, just peel, stick and file off the excess. Usually last 10 days
