SPARKLE AND A SMILE

Hello:) Hope you had a fun weekend.If you didn't,there's always another one so plan ahead!
I had a very interesting weekend and i thought i'd share with you.Let's start with  Friday evening-went window shopping/shopping/eating out with my friends and the bus almost left us behind at the mall.it was hilarious! Then Saturday came along and we had a party to attend.I don't do that often so i was pretty excited.I had fun dancing and laughing with my friends.Good company is good for the soul i tell you. Here's what the evening looked like for me ... sorry about all the doors in the background.


i couldn't stop smiling when i found this sequin top at the thrift store.:) i love sparkly stuff!

kept everything else black to tone it down a bit.

my beautiful and crazy flatmate.:)

oh yeah! i have a little fro hawk going on.

i'm usually the bag handler.i love my job but i danced a little.:)

some drama before leaving,(told you she's crazy)

That's it for now.I wish you a wonderful week filled with joy,happiness and progress.
And please stay warm!(if you are in a cold place).
Quote-A girl should be two things :classy and fabulous. -Coco Chanel
                                                                            One wish that you sparkle through the week,
                                                                             Cynthia.

ALWAYS BE IN LOVE...

WITH YOU!  Hello and welcome :). I had a thought and i wanted to share it. What does it mean to be in love with yourself. It sounded a bit funny to me at first but as i thought more ,stuff kinda cleared out.Being in love with yourself... i think it means something different to all of us cos everyone's definition of love is new and interesting.But i believe we should fall and stay in love with the person in the mirror because for no reason.JUST BECAUSE.
You are special and important and no one else will see it if you don't do so first.Sometimes we bend until we break for someone else whether or not its appreciated. Now i have nothing against being kind or sacrificing for people you love.But here's the question... What about you? When was the last time you did something nice for yourself or said something nice to or about yourself.
It might seem a little off to think about devoting time to loving yourself but you should.You will be better at loving others when you start with  you.
So here are some tips.

  • STOP!  Yeah just stop and breathe.Too often we  are in a hurry to get things done.We just want to go go go.School,market,work...school again. Everyday.And even on days when we are off,there's no relaxation.You are stressing about tomorrow.Stop and give yourself a break.
  • SEE- How far you've come.And give yourself credit for all your hard work. There might still be a long way to go but you have made it this far.Enjoy it.
  • SAY- Nice things to and about yourself.I have a friend that replies compliments with''thanks,i know!'' and that always makes me laugh.There's a difference between conceit and confidence.So love yourself enough to say it.
  • SMILE- i keep coming back to this one.But that's only cos its important.Wake up.put a smile on your face and a spare one in your bag just in case you need backup so you never lose your smile.
  • TAKE- time to take care of your body.Eat healthy meals more often,exercise,drink loads of water,cut down on junk and eat more  fruits and vegetables.
  • PAMPER- yourself pretty! This is up to you.You can do anything you consider to be luxury or just something nice for yourself like a manny /peddy,facial treatment,get you an early birthday/Christmas present,or just get 30 extra minutes of sleep!
  • TREAT- yourself like royalty.Forgive yourself and give you some time and space to improve in any areas of your life that  you need to.


You are special,wonderful,unique,beautiful,intelligent and amazing.The fact that there is no one else that is like you should tell how true that is.
So please start now to truly love yourself.Don't wait for someone else to come along and do it for you cos its your job.
Quote- Love yourself.You deserve it.
                                                                                                        Seven hugs to start your week,
                                                                                                         Cynthia.

STUDS AND HEARTS

Hola amigos fabulosos! he he he.( i know my love for Spanish is just starting to show.) Hope you are having an amazing day wherever you are.First snow today!!. I love snow,especially when its white out.Not a huge fan of the temperature that comes with it though.I have a little project to share with you.(not the one i intended to)still working on the video.But this is a really easy and fun way to jazz up some old sweaters for winter.Wore it to school and for some winter boots''hunting'' with my friend.Enjoy...




Thrifted sweater + studs(online Chinese store) + a little bit of 

patience= fab new sweater! :)

 you can try different patterns(a bow,heart,sign...) doesn't have to be the shoulders. 


stud all the way to the back 

takes about 30 minutes to complete.(if you do use studs,please sew a little bit of fabric underneath the shoulder area to keep you from feeling the cold metal when you go outside.)









my fab friend Blessing :)

Try changing up an old jumper by adding random craft items.if you like the end result,leave it on.if not,you can always try something else.I guarantee you'll have fun and you'll be amazed by what you come up with.
I wish you a wonderful,productive week.

Quote: ''Spread the love everywhere you go.Let no one come to you without leaving    happier''- Mother Theresa
Do whatever you can this week to make someone's day on any day.
Remember to live,laugh and love.
