>Role Models..REAL Women making a Difference!
>So, I want ot take this time and recognize some REAL Role Models that are making a difference. As we all know I am following the whole Kandee Johnson craziness over on FB, some of you know what I’m talking about. There is so much concern over her fans calling her a role model (which fathoms me) I thought I would bring to light some of the women/girls that ARE making a difference for young women and girls evrywhere..there are tons of them so I apologize for only naming a few.
First off I want to mention Hannah Taylor, she started thehttp://www.ladybugfoundation.ca/ LadyBug foundation when she was eight years old, she has brought so much awareness to the homelessness situation and has helped many,at the age of 8 years old Hannah has met with the Prime Minister to address her concerns to the issue of homelessness and The LadyBug foundation has built a homeless shelter in Toronto ..have I mentioned she is only 11 years old!!!! This young woman is truly an inspiration to many, and should be looked up to as a role model because this young girl is ACTUALLY doing something to change the world!! **For more on Hannah, please check out the www.theladybugfoundation.caAnother girl that is making a difference is, Anjelica Mantikas.
For Anjelica Mantikas no dream is ever too big, especially when she and seven of her friends decided to create a charity focusing on helping enslaved children in Ghana, Africa. Together the girls have received national and international publicity for the non-profit organization by donating their time and talent to the cause. And they’re all 16 years old. Please check out http://www.oneisgreaterthannone.org/ for information on this organization.These two young women are amoung many others that are stepping out to do good in our world, these are the young women that all young women SHOULD be looking up too..not some random wannabe Make up artist that sits behind her computer and blogs about nothing, that does nothing but apply makeup and plays dress up. As women we should all be striving to make this world a better place and these two young girls have taken it upon themselves to get out there and DO IT!! I commend them on their bravery, strength, and innitiative.
>Runaway( not really)
>Ahhhh have I mentioned how much I am LOVING Spring??? I just got back from a run with my lil ROCCO (I’m surprised the little guy can keep up with me)There is nothing like breaking out of the house in a pair of http://www.lululemon.ca capri’s and a light hoodie and going for a run and taking in all the beautiful sunshine and fresh air, who care’s how messy it is out there. For the past few months, well it’s been more than a “few” months to say the least, that the only running I’ve been able to do is on a treadmill at the gym..so I am FINALLY nice enough to get out there and hit the pavement…running!! And we all know that you can’t go running without a good quality & cute pair of running shoes! One of my favorites would have to be the easytone runners from http://www.reebok.com They have such cute colors and they look super cute too, while toning all those giggly parts we don’t care for too much.
Just take a look at those, they’re adorable and functional!!!J
>Some of my favorite springy things
>So it’s spring (finally) and as we enter a new season it’s time to put away all the heavy makeup and dust off or buy some new fun colors and lighter products. As I’ve mentioned I LOVE SPRING!! It evokes chages and a new begining..who doesn’t LOVE that!!!!With all the pretty ruffly tops and softer fabric you really want to make sure your skin looks just as pretty..I’m a lotion/cream/mosturizer JUNKIE!! I have an absurd amount of lotions..but the way I look at it, you can never have too soft skin.. ha ha ha.Some of my favorites would have to be the www.dove.ca go fresh line (I’ve talked before about this product, it’s a must have in my gym bag)
It smells so fresh and clean..and best of all it’s CHEAP!! so you don’t have to feel guilty drenching yourself in it. lolAs far as the makeup goes, I’ve recently just purchased and have been using for the past couple of weeks the FIT ME foundation by
I love this stuff, it literally feels like you have nothing on, smells fresh, and covers really well. Also on the CHEAP side.As far as makeup trends go, I’m not really into following them but more so taking bits and peices and incorporating them into MY routine. This spring there’s TONS of color, from vibrant greens and blues shades for eyes too hot pinks and soft pink for lips.
If you check out youtube for the spring trend there are guru’s doing the crazy blues and greens on their eyes and a strong hot pink on the lips..this too me looks like something a street walker would wear( example. Kandee Johnson’s trashy look)..lolIt may be fine for some but me..not so much. LOL I can just imagine if I did my makeup like that..what my man would say. LOLNailpolish is something I’ve played around with since I was young(er).. it’s so fun and easy to change..OPI has come out with some really pretty colors this spring( and I love all the crazy fun names they have for their polishes) same with chinaglaze I love to change my nails on a regular basis.. long gone are the day’s I’d get the boring french manicured gel nails…so now I LOVE to experiment with all the different fun colors.
so this spring have some fun and experiment with some color..just don’t go overboard:)
>Spring..Puddles..and Pretty Things
>
After taking my precious little Rocco for a walk today I started thinking about spring.. it’s soooo messy and slushy out there..yet absolutly perfect!
The tempertures are rising…hopefully for good as I’m pretty sure many will agree it’s about time!!
I personally love spring, mostly because spring means summer is just around the corner; the trees are starting to bud, the grass is peeking out from under all that snow..you don’t HAVE to bundles up with scarves, mittens, and winter hats!!
I was actuslly able to go for a walk today with a pair of capris that in the past few months I haven’t worn outside of the house or gym because it’s been soo cold, I LOVED IT!!
Spring also brings to mind all the fun things you can wear during this messy time.. one of my favorites is rubber boots. I know, I know for some this brings back memories of your mother making you wear rubber coats and ugly “duckies” ha ha ha..but thankfully in this day and age there are soo many cuter options.
And there’s something about looking fashionable and having dry toes that makes spring all the more fun and enjoyable!
Speaking of fashion, now I’m not a girly, girl to say the least but I do love all the feminine clothing that comes out at this time, all the muted colors, ruffling detail, and lighter fabrics, pastels…I find it so refreshing after all the tweed and heavier fabrics we’ve been forced to wear.
So here’s to greener grass, jumping in puddles and shopping 🙂
