Just a random thought..Can't sleep!

At times you wish things we're different,we could all stay together forever young. 

Sometimes you just want to rewind to the best moments or the ones that make you heart pause,even though you know life is much more than just those moments. Then one day you just want to wake up and live,truly live and love to belong to someone's arms,the nights passed awaked,the days passed dreaming and the future right ahead. At times these are just flashbacks and ruff memories on paper that define who you are and believe in. Tonight I watched a movie that made me feel passionate,don't ask..don't know why just made me think of what I want,true love, a great dream come true,my house and a family but made me think of what's going right now the university friends and dramas,the relationships and break ups,the need of the cellphone and the need to feel safe and to find someone who can make you smile and take you outside of the daily stress.  Now I'm awake dreaming of what could and couldn't be,tomorrow no class thank god but here I'll sleep only when the sun comes down. Goodnight xxx

What's wrong with men?

Hii!

I must apologize for taking so long to post something new...but I've been busy with university,singing and enjoying life.

Today I would like to talk about an issue that turns women's heads around and makes them turn crazy!

Have you ever cried for a man? Did you forgive any of his mistakes? Have you stayed awake until he got home just to make sure he was ok? Did you lie to protect him? Have you ever believed you we're meant to be forever? Or did you put him first and forget that you we're right? ...If you did any of this, you're to blame just like me.

Us Women like to believe that they truly love us beyond anything and sometimes they really do but at times they make it sound true but in the end you find out it was never like that.
I find myself many times wondering why I have certain behavior with some type of man and wish to understand their minds and the reason of some stupid things they make and later regret!

Do you believe they are childish and stupid but at the same time charming just for nothing?

No,No,No..They think they are always one step ahead from us, but truth is they're wrong and girls need to stick together and stand up just to prove that a man ain't always right and needs to learn how to take care of a woman and respect her.

Speaking for myself I'm in the best moment of my life, I have a great family, great boyfriend who I'm super in love with and I have my music career which I'm pursuing. But do you think I don't struggle with my man?
He is all I imagined but he is still a man and makes the same mistakes like the others and sometimes I have to pull his ears and tell him that he can't mess with this heart that way 'cause once you fall in love it takes too much to forget it and get back on your feet.

Just wanted to share this thought with whoever is out there reading my little notes..

Take Care,

Bia

In Love With Gaga

(Well,first i would like to apologize again for taking so long to write.)

I've always been the kind of person that wakes up in the morning and wishes to be different from everybody and try hard for it.

(London) Yesterday I went to buy the new Vanity Fair and "Imagine who was in the cover?"..yes,that's right Gaga.

I'm one of many girls that admire LG for her devotion to her fans,her unique sense of style and for inspiring people that also want to be different,through her music.She is a perfect example of a great performer in everyway and also an example of great acts and concerts.

After reading her interview I could understand much more about the weird outfits,the crazy videos,the dangerous high heels and of course the irreverent personality.

You have many things you can point in Gaga that may seem strange..like the fact that she appeared with a brand new white Birkin bag by Hermés, all written with black marker saying "I love small monster,Tokyo Love" in Japanese Characters. Or the 10inch high heels that she loves to wear.

But to those who are affected by this facts probably you should buy the magazine and read it.To those like me that admire her and don't pay attention to those facts/don't consider they are wrong,you're in the right way to be Different.

Gaga is in the center of the best performing artists in the music industry of all times and also a powerfull fashion icon.

In Love With Dave Barnes Voice

Well..it's been a while since I wrote my last post and I apologize for that.

A couple of months ago I started searching for soul voices on youtube, trying to find new artists in that type of music.

While searching I found Dave Barnes a young singer born in Mississippi.
At first, I thought "This is not soul!" only then I realized that he was an R & B singer but in some lyrics his voice was incredibly sweet and that was indeed an influence of the soul music.

I listen to his songs mostly when I want to relax and of course at night when I lay in bed it's always a routine to fall asleep listening to Old Classics.

I leave you here the link of one of my favourite songs from him "Carry Me Through"

Some rules "Unsaid" of life

This will make your life alot easier..

When a friend shows you the heels she bought in Diesel, remember not to buy your pair in the same color.

In the bar if someone says to you "How about a drink?", Maybe it's a rhetorical question, perhaps you're not being invited.

If a boyfriend of three months goes away, pretend that you have not heard anything.

No matter how heavy or disastrous it's your friends story. You must bite your tongue and show you understand everything.

If someone tells you about her fights with her partner,deny it. Do never take advantage because you may get out of it scalded if everything works out eventually.

You should only offer a drink to someone that you know byname.

When the parents of your boyfriend or gilfriend invite you to dinner at their house, do never complain about the menu they offer you. Eat and shut.

If you don't ask for dessert in a working lunch, indirectly you'll be denying others to ask for it.

If you see someone you know on the bus and he seems to not recognize you it's because he doesn't want to talk to you. There's no need to introduce yourself.

When someone you know appears with a horrible, non-sense look and you stare petrified,tell them quickly.."God what a change!" that way you can hide the real reason for that surprise.

Hard but still the truth.

The art of cleansing

We women need to take care of ourselfs specially when it comes to skin.

I believe that moisturisers & serums have always been our skincare stars,but now the cleansers have taken that position and emerged as the key to glowing and healthy skin.

We need to have a 6 steps routine :

• First,choose your weapon because your skin it's constantly changing and you need a variety of products.

• Second,oily can actually be good it has a natural affinity with the skin that's why it dissolves dirt without disturbing your skin natural balance,making the oily cleansers ideal for all types of skin.

• Third,here's the rub many people don't know that massage can transform a woman's skin.Carefully rubbing in creams and oils works just fine ,but a good,thick balm makes it easier.

• Fourth,get yourself a muslin cloth as well as exfoliating and drawing out impurities,muslins can also eliminate blackheads and visibly restore radiance to tired skin.And they ensure that rich formulations, such as creams and oils, are wiped away thoroughly,making them ideal for people with dry skin who don't like a wash finish.

• Fifth,so good you need to do it twice sometimes a couple of nights a week, you should do a double cleanse. It will remove deep-down dirt, you can warm a few drops of cleansing oil or balm between your palms,then massage it into your face for a couple of minutes. Use also a hot muslin cloth to remove it thoroughly and start again.

• Sixth,ensure a good finish splashing your face with cold water after doing the cleansing tightens the pores,while the increase in blood flow to the surface will help skin look fresh.

By following this six steps your skin will be taken care of.

Are you hungry or emotional?

Don't always turn to food in a crisis!

Next time you feel like eating a chocolate...you need to ask yourself "What is this about?"

You see, real hunger comes on slowly, and is usually satisfied by any tasty food,on the other hand cravings/anxieties tend to appear suddenly,either during or right after an emotional event.

Once you find out that you're craving (rather than needing) food, how do you stop yourself from reaching that little cupcake next to you?

Well,the answer starts in your brain because up to now we've been told by great nutritionists to use distractions such as hot baths or brushing our teeth when cravings come. But anyone who's needed the confort only a Mars chocolate can give will understand that a bubble bath just doesn't deletes it.

That's why by self-questioning: What's this about? What stressed me out?
Before you turn to food and even if you can't find an immediate solution for your problem,you can get in touch with the reason that keeps you hiding from your own emotions by eating, and learn to use targeted,non-food ways of dealing with emotions.

The more we use food as a "friend",the less we turn to other,healthier self-soothing options such as talking things out and then emotional eating becomes a habit.

See this examples:
"I want..stodgy pasta (What's this about?) I feel lonely"
"I want..chocolate and coffee (What's this about?) I'm feeling sad and needy"

Learning to pause for thought before people eat something down makes a huge difference.
