冬至快乐

今天,是中国人的冬至,一個全年日最短,夜最长的一日。这天,依照传统,家家户户都會各自团聚在一起过节。

其实,古罗马人也在差不多的日子(12月25日),一家人走在一起纪念冬至,其意义也是一樣:黑暗已深,光明溫暖正開始降临。

直至四世紀中叶(主后336年),從罗马城开始,冬至被无厘头地改成记念耶穌降生的节庆(其实12月25日並沒有什么历史根据作为耶穌的生日),或許罗马教會的本意,是想藉冬至這天,去类比耶穌降生的意义:黑暗已深,光明溫暖(耶穌是世上的光)已開始降临。

原來,不管是中国的冬至,抑或是西方的圣诞,其节日意义都在带出彼此共融,一起积极地期盼。

在此,祝愿大家冬至快乐。

2011兔年十二生肖的幸运颜色


新的一年就快要来到了,除了圣诞节日的货品之外,你会发现在街上,杂货店,和 shopping mall里已开始卖新年的货品了。这让我感觉有点急,在没有心理准备之下,好像在催我们必须要准备新年的东西了。不过,算起来华人的新年也只剩下1个月半了(3/2/2011 CNY), 也许我是时候要进货了,又要花费了,想起都怕。

在每一年里我都会检查自己的幸运颜色,虽然我是基督教徒,但是我个人还是有点相信颜色对人的运程是有相关的。这次我从一个网站里找到了2011兔年生肖所用的开运颜色,只有最适合自己的颜色才能够给自己带来好运,才能够趋利避害。那么,到了2011年12生肖最适合的开运颜色是什么呢?一起来看看吧~

属鼠: 
 
    在2011兔年属鼠者最好用蓝色红色,这里特别提醒朋友们注意:上半年出生的最好用蓝色、下半年出生的最好用红色。蓝色和红色其实在兔年都适合属鼠的朋友,可谓蓝红通吃、万事如意哦。 
 
属牛:  
    属牛者在2011兔年,提醒你的幸运色彩是黄色系列。黄色会让属牛的朋友脚步加快,放下包袱、做事轻轻松松、功成名就。  

属虎:  
    属虎者在2011兔年,建议你使用白色,因为它是你2011兔年的色彩能量。换了主色彩,你会发现自己更健康、更富有活力,由此新的局面也将随之而来

属兔:  
  2011年,属兔者的色彩能量认为是红色,最好是偏紫色、因为2011是兔年、本命年,因此冲煞较多,又因为五黄煞气来临在东方,因此用可以用赤色来化解煞气。
  
属龙:  
    属龙者的幸运色彩在2011年建议用绿色、最好是青色;也是因为流年所致,让此色与本性色相融,少些灾难、多些幸福。  

属蛇:  
    与以往紫色能量是属蛇者的色彩能量类似,2011兔年凡灰色系列的颜色都能让属蛇逢凶化吉、好事成双。当然也建议紫色是你始终可用的一种颜色。  

属马:  
   与属蛇者类似,2011兔年天蓝色依然成了属马者的色彩能量。稳定的发展终究实现自己的理想。不过也建议银灰色也可以成为你的另一个好色彩。  

属羊:  
    属羊者在兔年请多运用黑色系列来帮助自己,认为属羊者也可用淡黄色来趋利避害,比如钱包、手包等。如此,两种系列颜色均可收工完美。  

属猴:  
    属猴者在兔年劝你使用白色,白色可以为属猴者克服先天不足,从而可以帮助属猴者心想事成、万事如意,尤其是防止小人捣鬼。  

属鸡:  
    属鸡者2011兔年因为冲太岁,因此最好的颜色认为是暗红色,这样可以让属鸡在兔年少些冲太岁,少些是非,让生活工作更顺利。
  
属狗:  
    属狗者在2011兔年,希望属狗的朋友能用咖啡色纳入自己的幸运色彩之中,那么你依然能成为事业和爱情战场上的佼佼者。同时百尺竿头,更进一步。  

属猪:  
    在2011兔年灰色是属猪者的幸运好色彩,尽管认为属猪者宽容性很大,似乎什么颜色都能和谐共存,但是,毕竟兔年的主色彩是灰色为主,才能让自己收获多多。    

    需要注意的是,上述所述,只是共性,每个人的个性色彩如何,最好的方法还是通过排测自己的命理来分析而定。上述特别提供12属相的不同色彩运用,目的就是希望朋友们在色彩问题上有的放矢,从而让自己更好的扬长避短.

7 Tips on How to apply Mascara


Your mascara can make or break your make up look, and using it wrong can mean you're either using too little and look like you are not wearing any mascara or you are using far too much and risk to resemble a panda.

I remember it wasn't easy to get a hand of applying mascara when I first started to wear it. So here are my 7 tips for applying mascara which will help you create the perfect lashes from the start.

1. Choose you mascara...
With so many different types of mascara, it's important to pick the one that suits each occasion best. I'd recommend lengthening mascara for the day time, and curling/thickening mascara for your nights out!

2. Pick your color carefully...

If you have dark eyelashes, use dark brown or black in the day and black for more the night drama. If you have red or blonde eyelashes, choose light brown for casual look, and dark brown for night time. 

3. Curl your eyelashes...

Now you've sorted out which mascara to use, apply all of your other eye make up, and the curl your eyelashes slightly. Personally, I find that padded eyelash curlers do this so much better, as metal ones just seem to bend my eyelashes. The best one I've tried is the Shu Uemura curler.

4. Be careful with pulling out the wand...

Pull out the wand in one motion, as pumping introduces air to the tube and this can lead to drying out. It can also allow bacteria to enter. Make sure both the wand and the edge of the tube are clean or you won't get a smooth application.

5. Apply to upper eyelashes...

Place the wand on the underside of your upper eyelashes. Slowly move it upwards towards the tip in zigzag motions. Use the wand at an angle to add more curl and definition, and be careful not to blink for a few seconds until it is dry. Apply a second coat for more drama.

6. Apply to lower eyelashes...

Use a lot less mascara, and start at the lower eyelid. Slowly pull down, to color the lower eyelashes.

7. Remove Stray mascara...

Use a cotton bud to remove any mascara around the eye. You can recurl the reapply if you think that this is necessary.

The Most Recommended Eyes Mascara:
1. Lancome Oscillation Vibration Power Mascara that makes it worth the extra expense. It producing lovely, long, defined lashes, the vibrating brush combines with an exquisitely smooth formula wrap every lash up to 360 degree. This mascara comes with a long, thin applicator brush, its separated bristles coat and lengthen each individual lash.

2. If you prefer a budget-friendly mascara, Maybelline Full 'n Soft mascara is an excellent choice. Its ability to add volume to lashes, while giving wearers a softer, natural look. The formula is fragrance-free and hypoallergenic, good for sensitive eyes.

3. DiorShow Mascara creates the longest, thickest, curviest lashes ever, resulting in an ultra-glam "just-off-the-catwalk" look. The mascara comes with an oblique-shaped brush with long, skinny rubber bristles to better grab lashes, adds more dramatic length and definition than many brands.

4. Yves Saint Laurent Luxurious Mascara Volume Effect Faux Clis. If you want a lighter and more subtle curl. It builds beautifully and thickens well without clumps giving lashes a soft, fringed curl. It also easy to remove with a facial cleanser. This product is safe for sensitive eyes and contact wearers, but the inclusion of fragrance, a known irritant. It dries out faster than other brands. Price is costly.

5. And Last, my most favorite brand, Chanel Inimitable Multidimensionnel Mascara. A sophisticated formula and unique brush design combine to lengthen, plump and curl, delivering lush, long-wearing color so precisely that each lash, even the finest is perfectly defined and separated. I've been using it and applying it is the best part of my daily makeup routine. But it is very pricey.

”徐子珊“ 在Malaysia 代言 GUESS 的品牌

6/12/2010, Monday: 那天早上我一个人到Midvalley逛街,因为打算买圣诞礼物和买一些新的衣服给我的男朋友。他一直都很难买到适合他自己的衣服,他一向来都很怕热,所以对衣服的质料和款式有很大要求,太厚,太粗,款式幼稚和老土都不行。人家都说处女座是最挑剔了,其实天评座的男生还蛮多要求的,比我还会选,哈哈!

过后,我到GUESS的店里逛了一下后,就选了两件男生衣服。付钱的时候,那里的 staff 就告诉我徐子珊的到访。由于我是GUESS的VIP, 那里的 staff 就邀请了我留下来看徐子珊。我很兴奋的答应了,因为我一直都很想看徐子珊本人,觉得她样子很酷很会跳舞。趁有点时间,我便到附近走走寻找礼物,直到下午3点多我便回到Guess的店里等待徐子珊的到来。开心!
