Oval Face

In the last review, I wrote about the most idoneous hairstyle according to your kind of face. In this occasion, we are going to dedicate the review to those whose face is oval.

First of all, how can we identify if we have an oval face or not?

We can identify this kind of face, because i is similar to an egg.The most important parts of this kind of face are cheek and chin. It's commonly accepted to be the most armonious face because, their horizontal and vertical line expressions are the same.

If your face is oval. Fringe can be an option or some irregular lock in your forehead, but you must avoid to wear volume them.

This kind of face has the idoneous proportions.In wearing your hair style on your face, you’ll lose your face shape behind the hair. This may seem to add weight to your face. I have an article dedicated solely to keeping hair off of the face you might want to check it out. This shape will let you use more styles than any other face shape.You can wear one updo, half-up half down or loose hairstyle.

Celebrities with this face are: Cameron Diaz, Cindy Crawford, Courtney Cox Arquette, Elle MacPherson, Heather Locklear, Mariah Carey, ...

Love Is In The Air...♪♫♪

As it sounded in the song, love is in the air. And now is the moment for speaking about love. Many people go crazy with the Saint Valentine's day. Although from my humble point of view, this day is not a love party because love is like a plant, it takes time to grow but when you stop caring for it, it slowly dies. And Saint Valentine's Day is only a day. Moreover its origin was commercial. If we stop to think, what we do on Saint Valentine' s Day, is to give a present or detail our love, don't we? Therefore, we can only show our feeling this day. I prefer thinking that everyday of the year is Saint Valentine, like in the movie The Notebook, I still remember when i watched it, I couldn't stop crying. It's so beautiful!!

Anyway, the most important thing is to respect the ideals of everyone.You decide if you want to celebrate your love this day or the rest of the year.

Finally, I want to take this opportunity for sharing the sweetest demonstration love which I have ever read.

“I worked as a teacher at a school and I taught several children”. One of them asked:
"Teacher, what is love?".
And I felt that the child deserved an answer as high as the question which had formulated For answering I had an idea and I proposed to bring something which considerated love from the playground.
When they come back, I asked them to show me what they have brought.
The first student said, "I have brought this flower,it is so cute,isn't it?
The second student said: "I have brought this butterfly, watch the colorful wings I will put in my collection."
The third student added: "I brought this pigeon that fell from its nest, it is beautiful, isn't it?
And so the boys, one by one, they placed what they had gathered from the playground.
After several explanation and objects,I noticed that one of the girls had brought nothing and had been in silent all the time, and I couldn't avoid to ask: Why haven't you brought something?
Haven't you found anything?".
The girl shyly replied: "Excuse me, teacher I saw a flower and smelt its parfum,and I thought to pull up but I preferred to keep their scent longer. I saw the and colourful butterfly fluttering in the playground but it seemed so happy that I hadn't the courage to imprison, and I also saw the fallen pigeon, but when I climbed the tree, and I noticed the sad gaze of its mother, I decided to return to the nest. So, teacher,I have brought with me the parfum of the flower, the sense of freedom of the butterfly and the gratitude which I saw in the eyes of the mother bird. But my question is: How can I show her what I have brought? ".

The teacher thanked the student and gave her the highest mark, considering
that had been the only one able to perceive only what love can bring into our hearts.
So, remember: love is not take, pull up,capture, force, win or lose. "Love is love, is to
remember, is to enjoy and to dream, is to be free and to let others feel free. "

And last but not least I take advantage of this review to say:”I LOVE YOU”

Square Face

     How many times have we watched a hairstyle that we have loved but in our face is horrible?

     The wedding day, we want to shine in one's own right, so the best idea is going to go to the hairdresser and she advice us. But, we can take a certain advantage if we know which are the hairstyles according to our face. We will focus on a certain style, to make the most of our possibilities.

     First of all, we are going to focus on in the different shape of faces.Today we are going to focus on the square face.

Square Face

A square-shaped face is strong, square jaw line and usually an equally square hairline. If you have this face shape, the best haircutcut is short-to-medium length hair, especially with wave or roundness around the face. Wispy bangs will soften your angular square face. Off-center parts with height at the crown look great on you. You want to soften the square look of your face with layers and wispy looks around the face. Height at the crown will elongate your symmetrical shape. If your hair is straight, you may want to consider a body wave perm, as some curl or wavy hair will create a nice balance to the straight features of your face.If you have a square face shape you must avoid long straight hair styles that stress the square jawbone, “linear” straight bangs or center parts, a straight bobbed hairstyle ending at the jaw line aren’t the best choice for a square face. You can wear a layered bob hair style, but it should end above or below the jaw line, not at the jaw. Make sure in styling that you create some roundness to the shape and some height at the crown or bangs, and you will be on the right track.

Celebrities with square face shapes: Kristin Scott Thomas, Sandra Bullock, Demi Moore or Isabella Rosellini.

Wedding Traditions

We have always listened to our elders saying “If you are going to get married, you can't forget wearing something blue, something old, something lent and of course something new”. But, why?It is an old tradition where every aspect has a meaning.

Something blue: The origin of this tradition comes from Israel, where the bride wears in her hair a blue ornament, which represents fidelity. In England, it is said “those wearing in blue have true love.” In other countries is used in a blue garter, because in the Secession War was a virginity symbol.

Something old: It is used for showing the sense of the continuity in the life. It represents the family and friends ties. The customs will be the same, only we will adapt to the new changes. The old symbolizes our life which left behind. It is very common to use a familiar jewel.

Something new: this means the hope of the best future. The new always represents a change and the renew of the spirit. It symbolizes the new life whish starts. It is normally the dress, the underwear.

Something borrowed: It symbolises the friendship. It is used a jewel, a handkerchief... It refers the old superstition that happiness can come from someone who is happy.

If you follow all the traditions you will have a very lucky marriage. Are you a tradionalist or do you prefer creating your own traditions? Tell us.

A few years after, the knights who participated in the crusades, watched in the brides who lived in the mountains. They were made of orange blossom, which was a purity symbol.

In 1840, when the Queen Victory got married Prince Albert of Sajonia, were used edible flowers, as calenduda (known as lust herb), and after the bride and groom and the guets ate during the wedding.
