Headbands
Spring may not be that close, but this does not mean that we cannot start looking on what we are going to wear.
Lovely and cute headbands are a must again this spring season and what better way to demonstrate your love for life by wearing lovely pieces of flowers on your hair.
Let the little girl inside you escape and show its face.
This does not mean that you have to lose dignity!
The next time you go out wear something "daring" that will make you stand out from the crowd and will be true to your style.
They can be bigger or smaller, more or less "loud", but still you will be able to show a different side of yourself.
And remember, it is probably the only accessory that can be easily worn by babies and grown ups at the same time!
Ohhh, so cute!

Galileo quotes
All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.
I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.
I think that in the discussion of natural problems we ought to begin not with the Scriptures, but with experiments, and demonstrations.
The Bible shows the way to go to heaven, not the way the heavens go.

Cream #3 - L' oreal Perfect Slim
Just purchased the third cream for my one year test against cellulite.
This time I got the L' Oreal Perfect Slim Gel.
It is a blue colored gel that is easily massaged and absorded by the skin, without any extra strong smell.
Reading from other reviews perhaps it would be best if I use it twice a day, but I am afraid that it will not last for a month...
Shall give it a try and when the bottles ends shall give my opinion.

Maria Montessori quotes
Establishing lasting peace is the work of education; all politics can do is keep us out of war
Never help a child with a task at which he feels he can succeed
The greatest sign of success for a teacher... is to be able to say, "The children are now working as if I did not exist."
Free the child's potential, and you will transform him into the world.

Just because the day is grey outside, this does not mean that you have to look depressed!
Mix and match and have fun with your clothes.
This way you will be in a good mood and if you are lucky enough you will make other people feel better too!

Rosa Parks quotes
All I was doing was trying to get home from work
At the time I was arrested I had no idea it would turn into this. It was just a day like any other day. The only thing that made it significant was that the masses of the people joined in.
Each person must live their life as a model for others.
I'm tired of being treated like a second-class citizen.
Racism is still with us. But it is up to us to prepare our children for what they have to meet, and, hopefully, we shall overcome.

Margaret Thatcher quotes
Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren't.
Disciplining yourself to do what you know is right and important, although difficult, is the highroad to pride, self-esteem, and personal satisfaction.
I am extraordinarily patient, provided I get my own way in the end.
I've got a woman's ability to stick to a job and get on with it when everyone else walks off and leaves it.
You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it.

By Hamish Blakely who has painted a series of works based on the Roaring Twenties.
He captures beautifully the room, the dress of the woman pictured, her hair, the body language.
There is no way for me to miss that!

Amelia Earhart quotes
I want to do it because I want to do it.
Never do things others can do and will do if there are things others cannot do or will not do.
The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life; and the procedure , the process is its own reward.
The woman who can create her own job is the woman who will win fame and fortune.

Nanny and Child
By Eva Gonzales.
The expression of the young nunny is so sweet as she seems to pose for the painter in a subtle way.
The child looks the other way and stays away from this "insident" checking the small animals that have its attention.

Facial massager
About a year ago I purchased the Body Shop Facial Massager.
It seemed like a good idea in theory to have a special accessory to help you massage properly your face and have some benefits.
To be honest, I have not used every single day or every single time I was putting my moisturizer on, but I was using it regularly about two times a week.
Recently I have decided to be more persistent and I try to use it every day.
The results are very good actually, I have the feeling that my facial muscles are doing a bit of a "work out" which helps them stay firm, plus the cream is absorded perfectly.
A low budget purchase which has lasted, therefore recommended.

This is not the most original idea in the film history.

But this one is particularly charming.. no idea why!

Anne Frank quotes
Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart.
How true Daddy's words were when he said: all children must look after their own upbringing. Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands.
I don't think of all the misery but of the beauty that still remains.
No one has ever become poor by giving.
Look at how a single candle can both defy and define the darkness

Blusher for the whole face
When I need to do a REALLY quick make up and I don't have much time or tools available, I use this old trick:
I put the blusher not only in my cheeks
I put the blusher not only in my cheeks
But I also put a small amount on my eyes and lips.
All I need after that is a touch of mascara for my eyes and a sheer lipgloss on my lips.
This is probably one of the safest ways to look fresh on the budget!
For a more natural look you can pick a peachy blusher like the Estee Lauder Signature Silky Powder Blush Nude Nuance 19
For a more "girlie" look go for a pink one like the Dior DiorBlush Glowing Color Powder Blush #733 English Rose
Try it.
Vermeer - Geographer
In many Vermeer paintings we can see the motive of a window on the left side with the sun light coming through and a figure performing some everyday works.
But still, every painting has a different message to give.
This Geographer studies his maps in his room which has various objects that help him with his work.
Excellent piece of art!

Indira Gandhi quotes
A nation' s strength ultimately consists in what it can do on its own, and not in what it can borrow from others.
My grandfather once told me that there were two kinds of people: those who do the work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group; there was much less competition.
You cannot shake hands with a clenched fist.
The power to question is the basis of all human progress

My favorite room in the house - kitchen
I love big, sunny kitchens.
I love the feeling when I spent hours cooking and feeding the ones I love (not a big fan of washing the dishes... but you can't have them all), I love the smell of food in the oven, or of fresh deserts, salads, fruits.
My kitchen is not small, but my dream kitchen would be country style, with white and green colors and lots of space for me to cook for my family and friends.
Something like the ones below:
