My 7 favorite beauty tips for beginners

My 7 easy  beauty makeup tips  for beginners .   Alrighty lovelies, lets go back to the basics shall we? I remember my 10 year old curious self sitting in front of my Mother's mirror - exploring all the cream and powder products I had to my exposure. Layering my face with every single product I could get my tiny fingers on gave me such a thrill. Jumping castles and swimming on Sunday's never rocked my boat like hosting makeovers did. I even tweezed brows, over plucked them and got into huge trouble, but all in the name of beauty - so I took my time in the naughty corner on the chin. How many of us go through this beauty venture with such a childlike approach and understanding? Hopefully not to such an indulging extend like I did, lol! As an adult, being exposed to a market that is literally flooded with thousands of products, opinions and techniques to chose from can be super overwhelming.  BUT, the good news is anyone (yes, even you ) can be good at doing their own fac

For the boys: This is how you'll know she's a keeper

H ey Tiger! I asked a few male creatures what they would like to read about and this topic jumped up first. It's a goodie, I must say! Its enlightening to know there's still a few genuine fella's out there who actually pick their partners based on more than just the three common B's. I would say find a girl with a horrible tattoo and marry her. She knows how to make bad decisions and stick with them. Just kidding. Obviously there is no such thing as the ideal well rounded partner, we're all flawed humans striving to perfect our existence in every and any way we can. But if you're lucky enough to find someone who's willing to better herself for the greater good, hang in there. Its not easy to change one's true, sinful nature and a willing heart should be celebrated for its bravery.  If she takes good care of herself physically she will take good care of you. Self respect is a attribute you definitely want your girl to have. I'm not saying don't

10 Uncomfortable truths we all need to accept

"Its tough accepting, but necessary , my darling" - Moonbird 1. You're not going to be everybody's cup of tea, and that's okay . Unfortunately the world is swamped with people who, no matter what you do, how hard you try, will simply just not like you. The good news is, the world is also filled with souls like your own, souls that will embrace your wildness without judging you for it. These people will love you fiercely and they are your earthly treasures. Don't waste your finite time proving to undeserving people that you have value. They will miss it completely. They wont buy what you are selling. You are not for them and they are not for you. Seek to share your path with those who seek and recognize the beauty of your soulful presence, and leave the rest gracefully behind as you move on with your meaningful existence.  2.   Tell your ego to shut up and call yourself out . The most common reason why we keep making the same mistakes is because our insecure eg

Bloom through winter with MUD and me

Nature has the most beautiful way of showing us that seasons can change the appearance of our natural surroundings, however winter weather is not so much fun for the skin. Cold weather and low humidity levels result in dry air which ultimately steals moisture from the skin. Flawless skin is a huge contributing factor when it comes to the end result of your makeup application as a whole. You can’t help how your skin reacts to climate changes but girl, you definitely have more control than you think.  1. How to retain your natural moisture to ensure that gorgeous supple glow. Wash your face with lukewarm water; remember any form of heat robs the skin from moisture. A good over night moisturizer is key when it comes to maintaining that beautiful radiant look and remember to drink enough water during the day, our skin needs hydration from the inside too.  2. Exfoliation must be a crucial part in your skincare routine during winter.   My favourite homemade mask consists of the following ing

My 12 beautiful steps to self love

Okay lovelies, let’s get down to some serious self loving. The healthy kind of course. There’s no self centred sadists who only lives for themselves here. So just to be clear – there is a big difference between the person who entertains their superficial needs and the person who advocates for their own heart and what they truly believe in. They are both ends of the same spectrum but it goes without saying that I only root for the latter. Nothing grinds my teeth more than someone basking in their own superficial desires; especially if it’s at the cost of the one’s they claim to love the most. While I’m on the topic, please don’t do that. Don’t say you love someone and then go out of your way to do exactly what you know will hurt them the most.   Naturally I am such a giver, there’s very little that I won’t do for those who have my love and attention. The world needs us, we love and give so unconditionally and our motives are always so damn pure. It’s a real pity that some p

Becoming a yogi baby

I wish I knew I had sweet and soft emotional releases at the tip of my fingers earlier in my life. Indulging in this beautiful practice could’ve saved me from all the jail time. Just kidding, but not knowing how incredibly good yoga works for my body feels like I’ve wasted so much time on exercises that never really resonated with me. I've fallen in love with the calm but energetic endorphins that infiltrates my mind after I’ve given my body so much well deserved love. With a balanced posture and a sound mind, one can easily get addicted to grounded euphoria, one of the most soothing feelings I’ve ever experienced during exercise. Obstacles are the cost of greatness, especially when it comes to pushing limits and seeing what your body allows you to do. I’ve always believed in this huge misconception that one needs to be extremely flexible for yoga to be enjoyable and even doable, but I’ve learned that it’s the furthest thing from the truth. Yoga is for every girl that wants to
