Fabulous Fridays: Being a Woman (and loving it!)

Quote(s): 
A man gives many question marks, however, a woman is a whole mystery.  ~Diana Stürm


Curve:  The loveliest distance between two points.  ~Mae West


A highbrow is a man who has found something more interesting than women.  ~Edgar Wallace


After about 20 years of marriage, I'm finally starting to scratch the surface of that one.  And I think the answer lies somewhere between conversation and chocolate.  ~Mel Gibson, about what women want 

some that made me chuckle:


Every woman is wrong until she cries, and then she is right - instantly.  ~Sam Slick


They call it PMS because Mad Cow Disease was already taken.  ~Author Unknown


The rarest thing in the world is a woman who is pleased with photographs of herself.  ~Elizabeth Metcalf


Nature has given women so much power that the law has very wisely given them little.  ~Samuel Johnson


Men enjoy being thought of as hunters, but are generally too lazy to hunt.  Women, on the other hand, love to hunt, but would rather nobody knew it.  ~Mignon McLaughlin, The Second Neurotic's Notebook, 1966


Women really do rule the world.  They just haven't figured it out yet.  When they do, and they will, we're all in big big trouble.  ~"Doctor Leon"

Songs which depict strong women:

 Man! I Feel Like A Woman - Shania Twain

The best thing about being a woman
Is the prerogative to have a little fun
Oh, oh, oh, go totally crazy-forget I'm a lady
Men's shirts-short skirts
Oh, oh, oh, really go wild-yeah, doin' it in style
Oh, oh, oh, get in the action-feel the attraction
Color my hair-do what I dare
Oh, oh, oh, I wanna be free-yeah, to feel the way I feel
Man! I feel like a woman!

Brass In Pocket - The Pretenders

Got brass in pocket
Got bottle I'm gonna use it
Intention I feel inventive
Gonna make you, make you, make you notice

Got motion restrained emotion
Been driving detroit leaning
No reason just seems so pleasing
Gonna make you, make you, make you notice

[Chorus:]
Gonna use my arms
Gonna use my legs
Gonna use my style
Gonna use my sidestep
Gonna use my fingers
Gonna use my, my, my imagination

Thought: No particular reason for the topic today! Maybe it's 
the fact that winter clothing sometimes makes one feel pretty? :)  
(even if my skin is pale and my freckles show more).

Anyway, isn't being a woman amazing? I love how we can dream,

be goofy, be sexy, fall in love with love, like cheesy movies but also

action ones, have so many hairstyle, shoes, and clothing options (it can be

dangerous too I know),  be treated delicately by gentleman, wear many

many colors, and even be a complete enigma to some. 
Today, smile because you're one, walk with confidence, 
irradiate happiness, and just enjoy being a lady!

Self-esteem can be very sexy <3 

Have a cozy weekend (it's cold! - at least here)

Fabulous Fridays: Brown Eyes

source

Quote(s): Lines from a poem by Zaara Haroon:

Brown eyes…as they were…

Complimented and described as the honey which smiles

[...]She saw how pretty her eyes were…how lightly 

they had been touched with the brown brush of her creator, 

How sharply they were shaped with a light coffee velvet inside them,

Like a dry leaf dancing its last dance of autumn,
To perch like a butterfly in bliss…

So brown eyes I hold you near
Cause you're the only song I want to hear
A melody softly soaring through my atmosphere 

(phrase from the song Soul Meets Body)


Song: What better example than Brown Eyed Girl- Van Morrison 

[...]Standing in the sunlight laughing, 
Hiding behind a rainbow's wall,
Slipping and sliding
All along the water fall, with you 

My brown eyed girl, 

You my brown eyed girl.


Thought: This is a post dedicated to all you beautiful 

brown eyed girls and boys. Blue & green eyed people, you are special

too! But since we, the brown ones, are a little more common, 

we don't get praised for them as much. But we have indeed inspired poems and 

songs; just wanted to remind those who wish they had a different eye color

that the important thing is not if your eyes are blue, green, hazel, or brown. The

important thing is their ability to let people look into your soul through them

and just how much kindness they irradiate.  Have a super fun weekend!

Here's a flower for you. Iris Spuria. And it's brown :)

From A Girl With Glasses

Glasses... many words come to mind when we think of glasses: sophisticated, smart, nerdy, sexy, trendy, etc. I wear glasses and the only time I wish I did not need them, is when I have to dress elegantly for an important event, or when I want to put sunglasses on but can't see anything (I have not learned to wear contacts and I don't have prescription sunglasses). The rest of the time, I am perfectly fine with them. Do you feel the same way? Because trust me... a girl with glasses does look interesting! Here are a few things I find positive about my need for sight-correction:

1) Glasses are an accessory, they can complement your features.

2) Since there are different designs, it's cool when you find one that matches your style.

3) They do tend to make you look smart!

4) They make you look sexy too, of course! Ask some of your guy friends!

5) They don't require maintenance as contact lenses. 

6) Sometimes they define who you are more; some friends say they cannot imagine me without my glasses.

So... if you wish you didn't need glasses, remember these cool advantages!

My New Glasses

I wrote about this today because I just received my new glasses on the mail, yay! I bought them on EyeBuyDirect.com. [Click here to view the site + my new glasses] At first, I was a little reluctant of buying glasses online, but as my friend assured me, it worked!  Let me recommend the site to you, in case you're looking for new glasses; you will probably pay less here than at Walmart, Target, etc. I paid $65.93 for mine and it includes shipping, thin-&-lite lenses, UV coating, anti-reflective coating, and the free anti-scratch coating that it comes with. The site also lets you "try them on" using their virtual EyeTry. Very practical!

Here is a 10% coupon code if you decide to try the site: IF2N5SQ673

Have a lovely afternoon ~*~*

Weekend & Haircuts

Hello there :)

The weekend is finally here! By the way, how was your week? I hope it was great, and if it wasn't, use some time for yourself this weekend and relax, go have fun, sit outdoors, spend time with your pet, visit your parents/grandparents, make a cake... something nice. I challenge you to make the most out of your free time this weekend!

Or... go get a haircut! Let's see... haircuts can be more than just sitting in front of the mirror staring at the person who is giving you the new look. First of all, it's relaxing, especially when you have a hairstylist that massages your head when she/he washes your hair. Secondly, if you had a stressful week, it can make you feel renewed and ready for a better one- fresh new start!... at least that's how it made me feel one time when I had a hectic week at school. It can also make you feel prettier :)... all those split ends gone, maybe some nice bangs, charming layers, etc. There is a website I found that lets you create different makeovers. If you don't want to get a haircut yet, but are thinking about it, play with it some. You just have to sign up, but it's free, unlike other ones on the web. (note: guys, no men hairstyles on it :(, if I find one I will let you know!) Here is a makeover I did with one of my pictures... even if the images don't look perfect, they give you a good idea.

Whatever you decide to do this weekend, have fun doing it! Don't forget to take a moment to pamper yourself. Talk to you all soon and thanks for visiting :)

Girls With Freckles... We Are Special!

First of all... all girls are special in a way :P

But this post is dedicated to those girls with freckles who wish they didn't have them. I am an excellent example of a "chocolate-chip-cookie." In other words, I have a lot of freckles! And I've always wanted to get rid of some. But with time I have come to understand many things: 1) If you want others to love you, you must first love yourself. 2) We all have something in our bodies we might not like very much, it's ok! 3) There are people out there with worse problems than skin pigmentations! 4) It's not too hard to camouflage our freckles if we wanted to, but girls who want freckles would have to draw on themselves :P 5) Last but not least, who said freckles aren't cute??! The only thing you guys should be worried about is monitoring your freckles once in a while to make sure they have not changed. Having a dermatologist and going for a check-up maybe twice a year is a good way to go :P

Do you have freckles? Send me a picture and I will be happy to post in here!

Before finishing, here are a couple of phrases I found!

“A girl without freckles is like a night without stars”

"My Grandmother always told me they were angel kisses"

"You're just going to burn if you lay out" No, I will work on my mini tan (freckle) collection.

"Those freckles are going to turn into age spots." No, they won't. You're just jealous.

Enjoy having those unique markins on your skin <3
