Add some COLOR to your life!

So as I get ready to jet set to Europe I leave you with some parting life/beauty advice: Add some color to your life!

Although "lipstick" might remind you of the imprint of your grandmothers lips on your cheeks on Christmas, it actually is one of the best beauty tools out there. The Fall 2010 runway shows incorporated a great variety of lip stains in their collections letting us know that lipstick is young again! So go out and try a Red, Pink, Dark Purple. The lip color always looks chic when matched with shoes or a detail color of one's wardrobe but never wear a lip stick the same color as a solid colored frock or blouse. Like in life: everything in moderation. The striking lip color is only going to attract more attention to your ensemble and add an edginess and spunk to your look. And as always, the advice to add COLOR to your life does not only apply to your face. Smile for 5 more minutes today than you normally would. Go call up a friend who hasn't heard your voice in a while. Go take a jog in a park that you rarely go to. While you're there, go ride the swings and get reconnected with the innocent little child within you. Remember that laughing is the best medicine. Clear the clutter in your room, its sure to clean emotional clutter and remind you of all the fun jewelry and clothes you couldn't remember you had! Put down your phone for the afternoon, and actually look up at the sun and the sky and the people. Just people watch while crossing the street or sitting at an outdoor restaurant. Order the most colorful salad you can think of. You know what they say: the more colorful, the healthier. You'd be surprised to know that most people want to be CERTAIN they are miserable than RISK being happy. Today...be that risk.

Will miss you all but will continue posting from Europe!

Off to Paris I go.

Stay true to the trendy Buddha in you!

all my love <3>

I love myself first so I may be capable of loving others. Every Day is a new day with a new beginning and a new end. I greet every moment with renewed enjoyment. I have the power to find my Path in life. The courage to pursue it. The passion to achieve it. Just for today I will try to live through this day only. Just for today I will try to be happy. Just for today I will adjust myself to what is, and not try to adjust everything to my own desires. I will take my luck as it comes and try to fit myself to it. Just for today I will be unafraid. Especially, I will not be afraid to enjoy what is beautiful and to believe that as I give to the world, so the world will give to me.
