Wardrobe Recycling, Beauty Tips of Wrapping legs, The Best Way of Having Straight Hair w/o Perm.....A Bit of Everything!!!

Which one should I talk about first??

Hum...I know, say Bye Bye to turnip-like calves w/ easy hosiery wrapping!!!
(ps. I like strong legs w/ muscles and they are sexy too. However, personally I prefer thin and no big chunk of muscle on calves so they look even longer when wearing high heels.)

My mom told me this wrapping trick
cause' she thinks my legs are not as straight as SHE WANTED. You know, moms always do that....critics....about their daughters about everything!!!lol And I do it religiously not just for straightening my legs but for preventing edema, fatigue and DVT ever since I was in high school.:P

It is really helpful when you have a long standing or walking day and best help relieving the pressure when you fly over 4 or 6 hours w/ the plane.


First, you find the cheapest tights you can buy. They normally have the best stretchable threshold, not the medical grade.


Now you have one for each calf.


  • You only wrap the calf part to relax the muscle.
  • Wrap counter-clockwise for right leg, and clockwise for left leg to push the muscle back instead of showing a big chuck at sides when looking in front!!
  • Not so tight, just enough to feel it and tuck in the remaining.
  • Go to sleep w/ them!!!!


DH gets used to this funny look of my legs every night!! (oh, too dark to see them, actually!! :P)

Make sure you won't tighten it too hard, a little mark shown in the morning is fine but you shouldn't see a red mark at all.

Try it and have sexier legs day by day!!!

Friends asked if I did a straightening perm of my hair. The answer is NO!! (My hair is very very wavy.)
Here is how I do it w/ some help of great tools.


Flat ironing,
round wood comb, and the best tool for straightening hair ---- flat brush. (And it's made by wild-big's hair). NOTE: No plastic or metal brush for heat ironing.


When you do the flat ironing, the heat is also doing some damage to the hair so I think the flat brush can help cooling it down and straightening hair even more at the same time.


My theory is to use the flat brush n' remaining heat on hair to straighten them once more!! This way, I don't have to iron through my hair so many times to BURN it flat!!

Does it make sense to you?!! ^0^



Viola~~ The wood round comb is for my bang and again the remaining heat is doing double duty so I don't have to use hair-dryer!!





Every thing is recycled from my wardrobe except the Erin pocket tee bought in Sept. (If sunglasses doesn't count.)




I can't resist buying this brass leiber sunglasses w/ rhinestones for $168 when original price is $860.

My ODJ.

1. Top:
  • Bible black mini dress w/ stud button at sides
  • Erin Kleinberg beaded pocket tee

2. Accessory:
  • Houndstooth scarf
  • Judith Leiber brass aviator sunglasses w/ crystals
  • Balenciaga part time in violet 08
  • BR brass studs thin belt

3. Shoes: Joie OTK boots

Last Sunday at Los Gatoes!

When I say I am doing wardrobe recycle for my ODJ look...here is one look somewhat I'd call: Fashion-confused!lol Although I think I still look quite confident in the pic. the whole ensemble is just too much of everything!! hahahaa.... Oh, let's have some fun of this look, shall we!!! :P




I was trying to make the "fur" collar work which Cathy gave it to me last year.
I don't know what was I thinking but they sure look nice when hanging on the rack!! :P Maybe I can take off couple accessories and it will look fine w/ the fur collar again!!

You know what, I promise I won't laugh at the pic. of the worst outfit about celebrity when reading gossip magazine in the future!!! They are just doing experiment!!! ha ha~~



This band has a
hilarious post!!
"You can Over-Tip the Band, just Don't Tip the Band Over"!!!


Yay, you made through here!!!
Hope you had some fun, laugh and get some beauty tips already!!




FOTD: Kim Kardashian's Birthday Makeup in Vegas By Mario Dedivanovic

Hi Beauties!


The wait is over! Mario Dedivanovic has finally posted the"get the face" look from Kim Kardashian's Birthday in Vegas. Without further ado.....





Skin – I used Sheer Glow Foundation by NARS all over the skin. Under the eyes and to highlight I used YSL’s Touch Eclat. To set everything use a touch of Translucent Loose Powder by Shiseido.


Eyebrows are softly filled in with MAC’s eyebrow pencil in Lingering.


Eyes – Urban Decay eyeshadow in Eldorado on eye lids and browbone. Smog eyeshadow also by Urban Decay on the crease of the eye and outter corners of the lids. Smolder Eye Kohl by MAC rimming the entire eye and on the inner rims. Use more liner towards the outter corners. Using a clean brush, blend along the lashlines, moving up and out. Apply more liner for intensity if needed. Finish the eyes with two coats of Lancome’s Hynose Drama Mascara on top and bottom lashes.

Cheeks – On the apples of the cheeks, use Passion blush by Josie Maran. Skin is bronzed with Josie Maran Bronzing Powder. Brush it along the hairline, jawline and hollows of cheeks. To highlight the cheek bones, use Trace Gold blush by MAC.

Lips are lined with MAC’s Cremestick Liner in Summerfruit followed by Lipgelee in Saplicious, also by MAC.


 
I think I will try to duplicate this look! I love it!
 
XOXO,
Awilda
