Relationships ‘pretty girl’ confessions: tips for guys
I was asked recently by a man twice my age why wasn’t I married yet being ‘beautiful, nice and smart’.
But why would I? Tell me! if I am not seeking financial stability desperately and don’t want to have kids yet, I can support myself to a certain level of comfort that I’m satisfied with and I get all those options for dating!
Dear men, I know you get scared, I know you want to secure your space and freedom… Or the other way around, secure your position in a committed relationship… Whatever it is, setting frames and rules and demands (which if I like you I’ll be very cool with because I simply want you to be happy and enjoy our time together) ultimately gives me a perfect picture of who you are, what to expect and puts me in complete control… Don’t you think it’s boring? Whatever happened to the romance!!! If I’m there to make your life miraculous, why not do some miracles for me? Go with the flow, feel, surprise, put your guard down, enjoy being you, being different and making someone happy!
I know I’m speaking here for many girls out there and for genuinely good guys who are trying to get things right.
If God told you to be happy, what would you do?

And with the beautiful inside and out designer herself Yeohlee Teng. She is remarkable. I felt a sort of artistic halo next to her, pure flow of creative energy of life, that she so gracefully puts into her beautiful, sophisticated fashion pieces, the ones that complete you when you wear them, that let you express yourself and yet feel comfortable and light, remaining as statement pieces of sophistication and quality.
And it was nice to see myself in WWD the next day

Tom Ford Sunglasses Love
Loving my new Tom Ford glasses!
I had another raid to Century 21 ;)
And, by the way, this time checked out the cosmetics section as I planned and got stocked up on some everyday important cosmetic items, like makeup remover and bb cream, which I will be posting about later. The prices are the same as in other stores but you get extras like proper size gifts for buying something or vouchers for money back to use in the store. Don’t go into the basement of the downtown store where there are things for the house being sold… I was running around like crazy for an hour thinking of replacing everything in my house. I finally had to get a hold of myself and left with nothing because I wanted everything! Had to tell myself to think about it and come back later if I really need something. Hint: they’ve got those awesome makeup organizers I keep seeing people posting about on WP.

Muffins Modeljourney Way
I love baking once in a while. I especially enjoy doing it on weekends and always have friends come over. This time I made muffins – as healthy as I found it possible – and enjoyed them at a picnic with my good friends in Central Park.
Here’s what I did to make them more healthy. They turned out great -original and delicious!
I used:
1 box of gluten free muffin mix
2 cage free grass fed chicken eggs (missing in the picture)
6 spoons of virgin coconut oil for medium heat (suitable for baking)
1 cup of almond milk
3/4 of 60% cacao bittersweet chocolate chips for baking
And if you decide to make the recipe don’t forget to get baking cups! (I don’t know if it only happens to me but easily slips the mind when doing grocery shopping).
Mix everything. Beat the eggs slightly before putting into mixture and mix until the batter looks good (you will know when it’s good!) Then mix in the chocolate chips, put the batter in baking cups (about 3/4, I leave some space at the top) and bake on 350 (don’t forget to preheat the oven!) for about 20 min. Note: the color is gonna be quite whitish but that’s totally normal since there’s no butter or milk being used.
Eat while it’s warm and the chocolate is melted – it’s the best! Share with friends. Enjoy!!! 😉💕
My best BB cream choice for the winter
I got this Estée Lauder Clear Difference BB cream at my favorite Century 21 department store on one of my previous shopping hauls there as I mentioned before (and got a pack of 5 delicious small size body lotions that you get there for purchases; you can choose gifts or a voucher worth money to use for the next purchase). I’ve been using the cream for couple weeks now and found that it works perfect if you are looking for less coverage than that of foundation but still want to cover little imperfections and not only even the skin tone, which it does also. I would suggest using this one for colder times of the year as I found it a little oily and heavy on hot sunny days (I gave it a try earlier when it was warmer and that’s why started using it full time only for the last two-three weeks). But it serves me great in the fall as it moistures quite well as well as allows me to use less concealer or even not at all. I must say so far the best coverage without feeling heavy.
Let me know if you tried this BB cream and what did you think of it please, or if you are using another BB cream that you are happy with and which one?
Best to all!
Love, luck, happiness🌸🌸🌸 Love yourself💖 Love life🌈
