Summer hairstyles by Admin

It is sometimes quite hard to take care of our hair as it can be a long and complicated process to finally be able to style it and take care of it. That is why we wrote an article below on one of the hair routines you can adopt for the summer.

When it is hot, whether you have long hair or short hair, it is always difficult to find hairstyles that will allow you to not to sweat too much and feel comfortable while remaining stylish. In addition, when we are on vacation, sometimes we feel lazy and wish to give our hair a break from our straightener or curler.

Here are three hairstyles easy to try for the holidays, depending on what you are planning to do during the day. It can be for a morning at the beach, an afternoon stroll by the sea and an evening at a restaurant with friends.

Top knot will be your best friend. There is nothing more easy and comfortable than this hairstyle. But you can also enjoy the fact that your hair is wavy from the sea air to do an half-do messy bun, a classic hairstyle that will remain as one of our favourites.

The braids are one of the big trends of this year. It is not possible that you missed on Instagram that it is the hairstyle to adopt this summer.

For an evening out, after the shower, you can go for a little bit more sophisticated hairstyle and try to do a bohemian braided bun. This simple but elegant hairstyle will allow you to be the most beautiful during your evening out.

You can add to your hair any kind of accessories: headbands, headscarves or flowers. Be fancy and dare while you are on vacation.

Cannes Film Festival 2018 best accessories by Admin

In a previous article, we wrote about the MET Gala 2018. Another important event that occurs every year and where celebrities look at their full potential is the Cannes Film Festival. Even though it is an event about films, documentaries and court métrage of all genres, what people like us care about the most is who is going to wear what.

This year was the 71^st edition. From May, 8^th to May 19^th, in Cannes, people were competing for different prices as the prestigious Palme d’Or. Today, let’s be honest we will not talk about what people had the chance to watch and who received recognition. We will give our own trophy to the bests accessories on the red carpet and also maybe to Kristen Stewart who dares to take off her heels to protest against the film festival’s code that requires women to wear heels, but that is another story.

Accessories were formerly characterized as details, while today shoes, bags and jewels clearly compete with clothing. Jewellery allows you to fully express yourself and can enhance a simple and chic look with the finest and shiny details. Here is a small selection of the best jewellery on the Croisette this year.

– Anja Rubik wore a gorgeous Boucheron choker named Serpent Bohème, paved with diamonds on white gold and matching ear clips.

– Alessandra Ambrosio, stunned by matching her Grisogono long necklace with a pair of earrings.

– Leïla Bekhti kept it simple but won everything by betting on transparency with rock crystal earrings.

This year, chockers were trendy on the red carpet with famous brands such as Chopard, Boucheron and Grisogono. It is always a pleasure for the eyes to look at celebrities’ styles. Whether it is about the accessories or the jewels, we like to dream that one day we will have the chance to wear such beautiful items. We cannot wait for the next red carpet.

Why you should visit Barcelona by Admin

Barcelona is a great city to visit with your friends and your family, for a weekend or for holidays. Every single person that comes to Barcelona leaves with sparkles in their eyes and make the promise to come back again as soon as possible.

This cosmopolitan city is vibrant. The atmosphere that reigns there makes you feel like you are at home because people are caring, welcoming and love to celebrate life. Moreover, the environment is breathtaking. Palm trees, sea air and the smell of seafood in the streets; there is everything you need to have an unforgettable stay.

That is why everyone loves Barcelona because it is full of gorgeous places. Whenever you are wandering the streets, you can admire the beauty of the architecture, but also to many well-known places as The Park Guell and the Sagrada Familia. The Catalonian capital has a real history and you have the chance to admire it through buildings like Casa Battlo and museums.

To enjoy the beautifulness of the whole city, you can climb up above Park Montjuic and The Bunker. You will benefit from an incredible view and a rare moment of peace, far from the city’s madness. But if you think you are not only here to relax and want to go out, Barcelona is also the perfect place. There are many restaurants, bars and clubs to enjoy.

For the foodie, Catalan food is very famous all around the world. Tapas, paella, findeua, seafood, local cerveza… you can eat and drink whatever you want as the streets are crowded with traditional restaurants. You will never get bored while staying in this great city. There are so many places and things to experience in this multicultural city.

Barcelona is the place to be, that is why it is one of the most visited city. When walking in Las Ramblas you can see how much it is popular by seeing the number of tourists every day. Once you have considered you have visited enough areas in the city centre, you can go to Casteldefells, for its less crowded beaches, as well as along the coast like Costa Dorada and Costa Brava.

We wonder if it is possible not to love Barcelona, a charming city with a real story behind and an atmosphere that will make you feel like you are on holidays.

A Princely wedding by Admin

Saturday, May 19^th, marked one of the most remarkable ceremonies in history. On this day, the union of a couple breaking the codes of the English monarchy will forever live in legend. His Royal Heirness, Prince Harry, famous for his angel face and rebellious past, and Meghan Markle, an African-American actress, divorced, with deep-rooted beliefs, said yes at the Windsor Castle in front of more than 600 people.

Meghan Markle made a remarkable entry. And if she climbed the stairs of the Chapel on her own, she later walked down the aisle with her new stepfather, Prince Charles, under the beloved eyes of her mother and her promised, dressed in his frockcoat uniform of the Blues and Royals.

She was the eponym of simplicity and natural charm and dazzled the world with her incredible simplicity. Her bateau neckline gown signed Givenchy was enhanced with a train of 5 meters long made from silk tulle, with a trim of 53 hand-embroidered flowers in silk threads, characterizing each state of the Commonwealth.

Her hair was styled in an updo and she wore the magnificent Queen Mary’s Diamond Bandeau tiara, loaned to her by the Queen. Her look was accessorized with the beautiful ring Harry has designed with two of his mother diamonds, in order to make her live in their hearts forever.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have offered the world a ceremony full of love. Just look at the sparkles in both grooms’ eyes during the entire ceremony and the sweet words whispered by Harry to his beloved. We could not have dreamed of a better wife for the Prince. Meghan seems to be a perfect choice, a woman of character, with a heart as big as the Prince, full of simplicity and courage.

We are now looking forward to seeing what the future holds for those two and cannot wait for them to start their role in the royal family, build up a family and keep making the world to believe in fairytales.

Summer hair care routine by Admin

Hair is mistreated during summer because of the sun, sea water and chlorinated swimming pool water. That is why you need to protect them as much as you can, with scarves, caps and hats. Not only it will allow you to have a trendy look at the beach, but it will also be really useful to protect your hair from the UV rays. You need to remember that the sun does the same damages to your skin as it does to your hair.

Different tips exist in order for you to take care of your hair all year round, but especially during the summer. You really need to build up a routine that will prevent your hair from being dry and brittle.

Use sun proof protection shampoo. As we said it, it is like your skin, so don’t hesitate to apply that kind of products regularly. If you can avoid to wet your hair into the sea or the pool, do it, same for washing them. The more you will wash your hair, the more it will be greasy. But when you are taking a shower, apply a good conditioner. Most importantly, do nourishing cares. Whether they are home-made or not, they will pigment and reinforce your hair.

Oil treatments will be your dearest friends. Coco, argan, aloe vera, you can mix plenty of ingredients together to do masks. Also, remember that everything is related to your diet. The more you will eat aliments that are rich in nutrients, the more your skin and hair will glow. Avocado, salmon, almonds have omega 3 in it that will allow your hair to feel and look better.

Let your hair dryer and straightener at home. Your hair must take a break from the heat. There are a lot of hairstyles to do that are trendy. Wavy beach hair and braids are one of the easiest and most successful hairstyles to adopt.

We don’t realize all the side effects the environment we are living in has on our body. Be sure that you will use all the possible ingredients to make you feel comfortable in your own body.

Take care of your skin, your hair. Take care of yourself.

Be who you are by Admin

With the rise of mobile applications and the clear tendency to be all the time on our smartphones, we are constantly analyzing the lives of each other, our styles, our physics.

It is like we are now living for others. Have you ever noticed that we only photograph or video the beautiful moments of our life? When we go out, travel or when we are looking gorgeous? Indeed, we choose the moments we want to share. Thus, Instagram is like utopia but we must not lose sight of the fact that this is not what real life looks like. People are not as flawless as we believe.

At the moment, if you scroll down your Instagram feed, you can see a lot of «bikini body», «prepare your body for summer», «how to be beach ready». Even before social media, with magazines and advertisements, we could see that the world incited us largely to believe in unique beauty, especially in the fashion world. But do not necessarily feel concerned about all the things you see in the media. There is no one role model. Life is not just fitness and eating healthy. Yes, it is good and yes your body will feel better.

But watch the rise of models like Ashley Graham and Iska Lawrence. Curvy models make their entry on the runway. We are who we are with our defects and our qualities. And look on Instagram the different posts on how to pose to make look better. Thus, do not think that all of the things you see and read are true. We don’t need to be skinny to look good. And if you want to do exercise, eat healthily, you must do it for yourself, not for the society. Remember that everyone is different and that what makes us beautiful.

It is true that sometimes we feel like we have to look a certain way, otherwise, people will judge us. Thus, the only challenge is to learn how to love ourselves and not feel pressured by the society. Each person is unique. Beauty is unique. Be yourself, be natural, you will look much more beautiful.

What to put in your vanity for the summer by Admin

May has started well with a bank holiday to celebrate the International Workers’ Day. But it’s not because now we are working that we cannot think about our future trip to a dream destination. And because we want to be as organised as we are at the office, we like to plan things in advance. Thus, once our tickets are booked, we only need to think about what do we have to pack.

Girls always bring more than necessary. It is not a cliché. But we also often forget important things. Here, you will find a list of what you should buy to put into your vanity to be prepared to face a hard day on the sand facing the sea with only the sound of waves and seagulls.

A perfect vanity should not be too full. Think practical. Think about what you will need at the beach but also afterwards, when visiting and going out at night. We don’t use the same products during holidays than during our daily life. Our beauty routine changes because our habits and the environment we are in are different.

An important product not to forget is sunscreen. It is important to take care of your skin and avoid as much as possible damages. We don’t always realize the power of the sun on our body, that is why it is also important to bring an aftersun lotion that you will have to apply every day after your shower. You can also exfoliate your skin to peel off the dead skin, your tan will stay long after this.

If you go to the beach, you don’t necessarily wear makeup. We all like having makeup-free days, a natural complexion with beach waves hair. But for the people who still want to wear some makeup, look for a waterproof mascara, especially if you go for a swim and don’t want it to smudge under your eyes. Remember that alcohol and sun are not a good combination. If you want to wear perfume, find a selection that is alcohol-free. Otherwise, your skin will be irritated and itchy.

Lip balm is a must, with or without sunproof protection. You can also do lip scrub to take care of this sensitive part of your body that can also take sunburn. Finally, to accessorize your look, bring colourful nail polish, like red and coral. It always looks good with a nice tan on.

Your vanity is now ready to be put into your suitcase. Next step: holidays.

MET Gala 2018 by Admin

The fashion’s most anticipated event finally happened two days ago. Indeed, on Monday, 7^th May occurred the long-awaited Met Gala. Founded by a publicist called Eleanor Lambert, the first event was first held in 1948. Since, it gathers models, fashion, music and movie celebrities to raise money for the Met’s Costume Institute.

Every year, it comes with a new theme, always more creative, giving free reign to the designers’ imagination that thus, create the most surprising but also the most amazing dresses. That is why we love this event. To admire the sublime outfits but also to define who is the best dressed.

Hosted by Anna Wintour, Rihanna, Donatella Versace and Amal Clooney, this year Met Gala’s inspiration was: “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination”. The purpose was to match fashion with religious masterpieces.

Our personal favourite is Blake Lively’s Versace Ruby red gown. It took more than 600 hours to make her embroidery and jewel-encrusted dress. She mastered her look with a spiked headpiece.

Gigi Hadid also wore a Versace dress that took inspiration from the stain glass windows of a church and had embroilments stitch together to remind of a cathedral. She completes her look with matching nails.

Rita Ora stuns in a black chiffon Prada gown adorned with floral appliques. She accessorizes her look with an ornate crown with black roses on it and sequin gloves.

If the guests had the chance to see Madonna performing, we also had the pleasure to see unforgettable outfits on the red carpet, as every year. Celebrities were wearing Balenciaga, Chanel, Dior, Dolce Gabbana, Tory Burch and much more designers. Our favourite looks of this edition were Blake Lively, Gigi Hadid and Rita Ora’s.

The Met Gala has celebrated its 70^th anniversary. Every year, we are looking forward to seeing the looks that will cross the 150 yards red carpet and all that we can say is that we cannot wait for next year!

Festival outfits by Admin

The festival season has begun with the long-awaited Coachella. In summer, we live to the rhythm of music and outdoor concerts. For several days, we are preparing ourselves to live the highlight of our summer thanks to performances that will remain etched in our memories.

While some remain undecided about which artist they should watch, we girls, have concerns that are slightly different. During the months preceding the festival, we will not only think about the concerts and the great time we are going to have with our friends. We will also think about how we are going to dress up. Because a good festival goes with a good style

One day, one style. That’s the perks of festivals. During these days, we can go from bohemian to biker chic and take inspiration from the celebrities’ looks.

It is quite easy to get dressed for a festival, but here, we have selected some go-to outfits for a girl who wants to be stylish but comfortable at the same time. We love festivals because not only they have eclectic kinds of music but also because there are many people there with eclectic looks. Take your inspiration from Bella Hadid to Rihanna. Go check their Instagram feed to see how they were dressed. The keyword is: dare. Nothing can hold you back

What to wear?

– Fluid long dress, jumpsuit, shorts with a crochet top, flared plants with a bralette.

– Suedine jacket, denim jacket, capes

– Sneakers, boots

– Backpack, shoulder bag

Remember that comfort is important. If you don’t feel like wearing crazy outfits or you are scared because we never know if the weather is going to be that good, just accessorize your look. Jewellery, scarves, bandana, sunglasses, headband. Spice up your look. You can also use glitter on your face and body and wear ephemeral tattoos. Give free rein to your imagination, let your look be fancy and creative!

MAC COSMETICS – PUMA by Admin

Everyone knows it, today’s trend is sneakers. The reason is simple. In addition to being comfortable, sneakers allow you to stay stylish no matter the occasion. This fashion choice is a go-to as it can be mixed with pants, shorts, skirts or dresses. Everyone can wear it and be classic but casual at the same time.

But did you ever think about sneakers not only in line with your style itself but with your lipstick? And did you ever think about wearing a lipstick that will not only be in harmony with your skin tone but also with your sneakers? Yes, you can see it coming. It has been announced a few months ago but here it is, the long-awaited Mac Cosmetics – Puma collaboration.

Both of these brands are well-known for their various collaborations. One of the recent ones is Puma – Fenti by Rihanna. So to celebrate its 50^th Puma Suede Sneaker edition, the brand wanted to launch a shoe range with three of the most successful Mac lipsticks that are:

– Crème d’Nude, a creamy pink shade with a vanilla scent

The shoes will feature the M.A.C Cosmetics logo on the tongue and will come with a special packaging for the occasion. The price for each pair will stand for $90, while each M.A.C’s lipstick will be around $19.

How to take a good picture by Admin

One of the primary purposes of photography is to allow us to relive the beautiful moments of our life. Time passes by, memory fades but souvenirs persist, thanks to the photos we take.

We all like to capture the moments of our life that seem beautiful, whether it is a place or an encounter. But when we do it, we must do it for ourselves and because it makes us happy to remember these memories. Not for others. Nowadays, especially because of social media, far too many people don’t live for themselves anymore and do not take the time to observe and enjoy the beauty of what Nature has to offer.

Our smartphones are glued to our hands and our first reflex is to take a snap or an Instagram story. While, taking a picture is, first, asking ourselves which spot is the most beautiful one. We need to observe and take the picture with our eyes.

Then, therefore, we can look for the light, a natural one preferably, that will make the picture look better. There is also a good time for the so-called Instagram pictures, like sunrises or sunset. Do not hesitate to move, to have shots from different angles. Get closer to the object, the person to photograph or use a lens attachment on your phone. Do not hesitate to play with the subjects, the elements but also with the weather. Not only a portrait on a white background or a sun and a blue sky that will make a photo look pretty.

Keep the photo as original as possible, you don’t need to add many filters. Remember that it is pointless to flood your Instagram with photos without real purpose since taking a nice picture means taking a picture that has a sense for you, and only you.

What to wear this Spring by Admin

Spring is a nice season. The season of love as some enjoy saying. Trees are blossoming, people seem to be in a greater mood and in the streets, you can start smelling the great odour of barbecues that makes us feel like we are on holidays. The only cloud on the horizon is the weather indecision, especially here in Barcelona.

Thus, we spend too much time in the morning in front of our dressing room, wondering which outfit we should put on when we know that it will be cold in the morning, hot in the afternoon and why not raining in the evening. We don’t know how to dress up. That is why here, we have selected some basics and must have, that will allow you to save precious minutes in the morning and be trendy during the day.

For the jacket, we recommend you the unavoidable trench and the suede or denim jacket. These low-risk choices will avoid you getting sick, especially if you go out late at night, but will let you remain stylish. For the top, it is all about floral prints; daisies, roses, you are the one who decides as you have many options. This will allow you to bring a little more fantasy to your look. Opt for the off shoulders top very fashionable and very cute.

Then for the bottom, there are the cropped jeans, a safe bet. However, as you have probably seen in all the shops around, you can also try a stylish but comfortable look by wearing a midi skirt or culotte pants. Feel free to wear stripes or prints and accessorize them with a pair of sneakers or heels to destructure your look.

If you do not have any of these pieces in your closet, we recommend you to run to the closest store and at least buy one of these wonders. Do not forget that Spring is synonymous with colours. And what is trendy this year? The combination of pink and red: the colours of love. Is it a sign? Because we told you at the beginning of this article that this time of the year was the season of encounters.

Cafes in Barcelona that will make you want to study by Admin

Come on guys, the end of the Academic year is just around the corner. But before being able to enjoy barbecues and pool parties, you must end your semester before and pass your exam. We all need a little bit of motivation to stop procrastinating and finally get back to work. But whenever the sunny days are back and that it is much warmer outside, our mind is somewhere else and all we think about is having cocktails on the beach.

There is nothing better than being in a good environment to work. Forget about the classic and boring libraries, where you do not have the right to talk because you will disturb the people who are really there to work and who are not just pretending to. What about a library with a cafe in it? At Laie, in Example neighbourhood, you will be able to enjoy a new concept, thanks to a cafe with a covered terrace within the library. On this last floor, there is a space dedicated to the people who want to meet, relax or work with music and food.

There are always alternatives for the one want to work outside their home or classes. Starbucks? Yes, but so basic and crowded. You need a peaceful area, with wifi, coffee and pastries in order for you to have the necessary motivation. Who knows, you will maybe really love it and will want to work more often.

If you do so, there is also a cafe/office called Coffice. Located near La Ramblas, this concept is unique because you only pay for the number of hours you stay in. There are different formats depending on whether you want to stay an hour or a day and you have multiple choices. Indeed, you can simply go there and sit at a table or book a room for a meeting. Whatever is your option, you will always benefit from free snacks and drinks.

Basically, you can go in whatever cafe you want to. The only problem is that they can be crowded and thus, not as quiet as the two mentioned before. Working in a peaceful environment is essential but you also need to treat yourself to give you some courage and be productive.

Students, workers, no more excuses so go ahead!

Whether you want to backpack, camp or simply stay in a hotel, some destinations in Europe are cheaper than others.

– Budapest, Hungary. Everyone knows this country because of the Sziget festival. But you can also go there to walk along the Danube and enjoy the Ottoman architecture from the cheap cruises. Furthermore, did you know that it is called the city of spas? So everyone who goes there must enjoy the thermal bath at least once.

– Zagreb, Croatia. This country is getting more and more popular, as it is not expensive. In the heart of Croatia’s modern culture, you will be able to enjoy the medieval style of the streets, the beautifulness of the buildings and cathedrals.

– Andalucia, Spain. This region branded as a historical nationality has a mix of Spanish and Arabic style. There, you can enjoy cheap beers, tapas as well as a magnificent architecture. If you feel a little be adventurous you can take the ferry to Morrocco; it is not so far.

Their common point is that they are all marked with a past, a heritage and a history that allows them today to benefit from amazing architecture, museums, buildings and excellent traditional restaurants.

How to travel on a budget by Admin

Who never said one day: my dream is to travel all around the world? But once you have taken a look at your bank account you just changed your mind and buried that idea in a corner of your head hoping that one day you will have the necessary nest-egg to do it.

We all would like to travel the world, alone or with people. But this kind of happiness has a price and sometimes we cannot afford to go as far and as long as we would like to. Whether you are a student or an adult, sometimes you have a tight budget and that is why you have to postpone your desire to escape.

Travelling is going on a journey to discover new lands, new civilizations, new cultures and new ways of living. To immerse ourselves in the local culture, there is nothing better than trying to live like an autochthone. Indeed, not everybody can afford the all-inclusive hotel. So here are some tips to go abroad without breaking the bank and enjoy as much as possible a trip with friends or family.

Organisation is the watchword. The only way to compare prices and benefit from the most advantageous offers is to plan your trip in advance. To do so, some well-known websites exist, whatever it is to book a flight or a hotel such as liligo.com, jetcost.com, edreams.com, booking.com. But depending on your destination check what is more interesting, to take a flight, a train or a bus? Alternatives always exist, some will take you longer to get to your destination but it would usually be cheaper. When it comes to accommodations, think about Airbnb or hostels. But if you feel adventurous you can also couchsurfing. It is an easy way to travel as you will have a stay for free and as you will directly meet the locals.

Wherever you will go, you will always find good places to eat and visit on a budget, just do your research before you leave. Thus, you may avoid the crowd of tourists and the most expensive places. Remember that if you are under 25 and you are still a student, you will have more benefits, like free museums or vouchers. You can also go abroad to work as an au pair or seasonal worker.

Travelling is being organised, a little bit creative and reckless. Then you will see, the trip will only be better.

A healthy mind in a healthy body by Admin

Easter came and no one skipped the traditional egg hunt. Children and adults have loved eating chocolate; some might have done more than others. While we enjoyed it way too much in Barcelona with the famous Mona de Pascua without feeling guilty, the sunny days are coming back. So the main question that is ringing in our head is: will my swimsuit still fit me?

To prepare our summer body, there is nothing better than doing outdoors activities, whether it is by yourself or in a team. The undeniable advantage for the people living in Barcelona, or for the lucky visitors, is that no matter the physical activity practised, they will always benefit from an incredible view or incredible sites to visit: a great source of motivation.

Whether you would prefer to run, cycle or hike, you will find plenty of places to go to such as the famous Barceloneta and the Passeig Maritim. There is nothing more pleasant than doing sports while feeling the sea breeze in your hair. However, as it is quite crowded in the summer, do not hesitate to look for paths in the heights of Barcelona. Montjuic is a great area thanks to its many green areas, parks and gardens. You will enjoy the view as much as if you want to go to Carretera de les Aigües.

If you want to exercise with other people, there is still that easy option where you can just go to the beach and play volleyball. But for the people who want to try local activities, they should try the Padel tennis, a sport imported from Argentina but well-known here in Catalonia.

Outdoor yoga is also a great outdoor activity to practice in the Parc de la Ciutadella, near the Arc de Triomf with its fountain and its green areas. Again, it can be crowded and as yoga is supposed to help you to relax, do not hesitate to visit any park around you, they will all be as beautiful and some will surely be more peaceful than others. You can also go to the Serra de la Collsorella a natural park full of history.

Doing outdoor activities will allow you to enjoy the city, discover new places and new people that share your passion. With its 5km of coastline, Barcelona has a wide variety of places you will not know if you don’t wander in the streets. But wherever you are in the world, just remind yourself that it’s important to go outside. It is good for your body and your mind.

That’s also what tourism is: discovering the city without any precise goal.

Natural beauty for your skin by Admin

March is a complicated month. Putting the clocks forward has disturbed our biological clock and summer is fast approaching. Our whole organism is disrupted and our skin suffers from the climate change and the overall pollution.

To overcome those difficulties and be prepared for the good days, we have selected a bunch of well-known ingredients that you should use to make your skin glow. When it comes to our beauty routine we never think about taking the ingredients directly from our cupboard or our fridge.

Here you will find a short list of ingredients good for your skin. Whether they are used as a mask or mixed in a detox juice, you will be surprised by the great value of these ingredients.

– To vitalize and hydrate your skin: avocado and eggs are full of protein and biotin

– For a beautiful complexion: you can benefit from the beta-carotene inside the carrot and the vitamin C in the citrus fruits

– For your skin elasticity: salmon is rich in omega 3 and nuts in omega 3S. Thus, they have values that are well-known for their anti-aging properties

– To fight against acne: Medjool dates and pomegranates as they produce collagen

There is no need to put a crazy amount of money in your skincare products if you don’t take care of your body first. Feeling good inside will make you look good outside. While eating junk food will make your skin looks oily and acneic, think about all the vegetables and other superfoods that exist and don’t hesitate to mix ingredients for your skin, hair and nails.

Don’t forget to drink enough water as it will prevent your skin from dryness and spots. Give it a try and be ready to change your daily beauty routine!
