  I read somewhere that   Good Hair Day  is in two days from now, on 26 th   March, but why not have a good hair day every day? Ok, here are some tips on how to: Know your Hair! Is it dry, oily, etc.? You need to know your hair type so you will be able to use suitable products (such as shampoo, conditioner, etc) for it. Hair Health & Wellness! Use nourishing hair masks, oils, serums and keep a healthy diet as it influences your hair growth and quality. Trim, trim, trim! Get rid of split ends regularly (6-8 weeks). Use heatless ways to dry or style your hair. Be gentle when brushing or combing your hair to avoid breaking it. Be careful with coloring and lightening products, to avoid hair damage. Use satin or silky fabrics for your bedding sets as it will ensure a frizz free and tangle free hair in the morning.  

2021. First post for Alpha Tuxedo.  I must admit it's been a while since I wrote something, winter vacation, medical leave, and the need to fully recharge my creativity's batteries were behind this writing break. Now, I am back, with the desire to write more about the small, little things that count and that make life an interesting and beautiful journey.  I want to walk slow when everybody is running, to be present, live in the moment, and capture all this in my blog posts. I have few creative art projects in my mind that I would like to bring to life in the following months. My intention is to touch on some of my greatest passions: fashion and music.  Still... no spoilers! :)

The knit dress is an ideal fashion piece for the winter wardrobe as nothing compares to the pleasure of wrapping yourself up in a warm and "HOT" statement essential for this season. If you're looking to invest in some warming pieces, now's the time to go for comforting fabrics and stylish textures to keep you cozy in the cold winter days. You can keep your wardrobe both comfortable and exciting and with Christmas just a few weeks away, you can play with festive colors such as red, green, or blue. Still, color is a matter of choice so no matter if you go for the strong, vibrant ones or for nudes, more natural shades, it's perfect! Now, regarding the styling of a knit dress, it's quite simple to keep it feminine! Knee-high boots baby! Also, add a belt for waist definition and shape. When the temperatures drop, stand out looking hot, by effortlessly rocking your knit dress!  

There are things that I will never regret feeling or doing. Those things define who I am and at the end of the day, I just simply need to be Me. Like me for who I am or bye-bye baby! Anyway, let’s get into them: #Telling the truth I like being blunt & explicit. Why make things complicated when it can be really simple? Yes… I know that the truth is hard to swallow for most of us but damn if some can’t take it, that’s not my problem. #Telling how I feel I feel what I feel and I will express it…Oh yes, including lack of contentment with someone or something…  #Telling people no  Saying NO doesn’t mean that I am rude. Sometimes I just have to say NO because I don’t really feel like saying YES. #Removing myself from a toxic environment There’s nothing wrong with letting people know when they did something wrong or stopping them from taking advantage of me.  Liars, people who gossip, fake friends…. Who needs them anyway? #My life choices I live how I want, love who I want, ...

Usually, people who don't feel confident or happy about themselves, turn to gossip, and negative judgment of others. The root cause for gossip is 99% a mix of jealousy & insecurities. Another reason why people gossip is because they can't create entertaining discussions based on their knowledge or ideas. Below are ten reasons why gossip is toxic for you: 1. It will make you a BITCH with a lack of consideration for others feelings 2. It will show that you are jealous and insecure 3. It will make you less trustworthy 4. It destroys your integrity 5. It will ruin relationships and reputations (including yours) 6. Who gossips with you, will gossip of you 7. It hurts people 8. It's a waste of time and energy 9. It's guilt-inducing 10. It's heart bittering  What can you do to avoid gossip? Drop out conversations that lead to gossip, change the subject of the conversation, leave behind toxic people who gossip as a hobby.

I love makeup, it's a beauty weapon, full stop.  Below, you can find my minimal makeup list, including the products I find to be essential for creating a stunning look, super fast. Compact foundation MAC (even when in a rush, it's so much easier to use and apply, than the liquid one) Blush: Miss Sporty Really Me! Matte Blusher in shade Really Sweet  Eyeliner: Maybelline HyperEasy Pitch Black Mascara: Avon Luxe Caviar Black Lip liner: Avon True Lipstick: Miss Sporty Matte to Last in shade Vibrant Mocha I slayed this look using only the above six products, pretty cool huh?

I often used to find myself in this situation, where I feel as if I had nothing to wear even if my closet was full of clothes... Ok... now, what I did to solve this? Well... it's a three steps approach, it's also a great exercise to figure out your own personal style :)  1. I figured out my moods As I dress according to my moods, I figured out what are the most predominant moods that I find myself in. Those would be sexy, nostalgic, dominant, and of course... lazy. 2. I figured out the styles that go with my moods Now, as the next step, I tried to figure out which styles go best with my moods, so I got: Glam for my seductive sexy mood, a mix of classic and edgy for my dominant disposition, and casual for my lazy moments. 3. I put together representative outfits for those moods Last but not least, I decided to put together some outfits that I would always love to wear when I feel the way I feel. So no more wardrobe drama!
