The Grecian Goddess - Halloween

noreply@blogger.com (The Sweet 7) — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 05:16:00 +0000

Another wonderful challenge ... from a Sweet 7 fan. This is for you ...

Dear Sweet 7,

I consider you to be the queen of finding great makeup ideas and had a question for you. I am going to be a greek goddess for Halloween this year and as it approaches I am thinking about different make-up ideas that will portray this costume well. Any helpful tips or ideas that you can share on your website. Pics would definitely help. (I find video how-to's less helpful as I have no problem applying my own make-up)

Thanks.

Think of style icon Elizabeth Taylor in the movie CLEOPATRA

Tips for a Greek Goddess

Complexion — Choose a matte foundation for a flawless finish.

Eyes — Using a black eyebrow pencil, fill in brows with a high arch. Heavily line eyes with a creamy black liner, extending far past your outer corners. Use a deeply pigmented green or bluish-green shadow to fill in from lash line to brow and inner corner to outer corner. Glue on shimmery false lashes to complete.

Blush — For a bright glow, sweep a peachy shade across your cheeks.

Lips — With all the drama focused on the eyes, keep the lips semi-matte to matte in a nude or peach shade.

Basically pull out your gold eye shadow and face bronzer! Use a little shimmery eyeshadow on your eyes with some eyeliner and loads of mascara, and apply a very small amount of gold eyeshadow just under your eyebrow along the brow bone. Apply a small amount of bronzer to your cheekbones and then add a tiny bit of the gold eyeshadow to the tops of your cheekbones, use a,lil' pink blush and put lip gloss on. Use loads of mascara.

History of Beauty:

Legendary beauties have used milk and honey as part of their skin and hair care treatments for millennia.

Cleopatra, the queen of Egypt, was known for her exquisite complexion and famous for her milk and honey baths. Poppea, wife of Roman Emperor Nero, used a honey and milk lotion on her face to keep her looking youthful.

By the time cosmetics were beginning to be mass produced in the late 1800s, honey was a popular ingredient. Today, manufacturers are increasingly using honey in skin moisturisers, facial masks, hair conditioners and shower gels in response to consumer demand for more natural formulations. They are also ideal ingredients to mix up some beauty treatments at home.

Though Cleopatra and Poppea were born beautiful, they realised that natural beauty can be preserved through the application of products. Though they weren’t aware of the science, they were using two of nature’s most skin-beautifying ingredients.

The lactic acid in milk is an alpha hydroxy acid, which helps to cleanse and exfoliate the deepest layers of the skin. Milk works like a gentle glycolic peel, which results in smoother, clearer skin.

Honey has an abundance of health properties. First of all, it is composed of sugars such as glucose and fructose, so it is also a gentle alpha hydroxy acid, like milk. It’s made up of both minerals and vitamins to help nourish and heal the skin.

Since honey also contains phytochemicals that kill viruses, bacteria and fungus, it has a natural anti-inflammatory effect, which heals spots and wounds quickly. This makes honey a good substitute for wound dressings. All-natural honey is an effective treatment for minor abrasions and burns. A recent review of medical research documents its effectiveness as an antimicrobial agent.

The skin’s ability to stay hydrated is an important factor in its ability to maintain softness, suppleness and elasticity. As skin ages, or as it is exposed to environmental stresses and chemical agents, it loses this ability to retain water, becomes dry and appears wrinkled. Honey is a humectant, which means it attracts and retains water. This makes it particularly suitable for s variety of moisturising products including cleansers, creams, shampoos and conditioners. Because honey is also an anti-irritant, it is suitable for sensitive skin and baby care products.

Cleopatra’s honey and milk bath:

Ingredients:

120ml powdered milk

120ml pure honey

2 teaspoons jojoba oil (optional)

Method:

Mix ingredients in a large bowl and pour your warm bath. Soak for up to 20 minutes to infuse these beneficial ingredients in your skin.

This recipe makes enough for one bath.

Hair shine:

Stir one teaspoon of honey into 950ml warm water. Blondes can add a squeeze of lemon, too. After shampooing, pour mixture through hair.

Don’t rinse out and dry as normal.

Milk and honey rinse for wrinkled skin:

Ingredients:

15ml raw honey

125ml skimmed milk

1 teaspoons aloe vera gel

Method:

Combine ingredients in a jar and shake well. Apply to your face morning and evening with a cotton ball.

Store mixture in the fridge and use within milk’s sell by date.

HAIR AND MAKEUP FROM DIANE VON FURSTENBERG'S SPRING 2010 RUNWAY SHOW

The goddess looks at DVF were influenced by a mélange of golden ages—Greek, Roman, ...and Studio 54. Kaliardos applied metallic copper shadow to the eyelids and metallic rose blush to the upper cheekbones, near the eyes. "The look is a lot of color to keep the girls looking healthy, vibrant, and young," he said. Use a milky apricot gloss.

I like these riskier looks ...

Prevent (Swine Flu) H1N1 - Good Advice!

noreply@blogger.com (The Sweet 7) — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 03:50:00 +0000

Prevent (Swine Flu) H1N1 - Good Advice:

Dr. Vinay Goyal is an MBBS,DRM,DNB (Intensivist and Thyroid specialist) having clinical experience of over 20 years. He has worked in institutions like Hinduja Hospital, Bombay Hospital ,Saifee Hospital, Tata Memorial etc. Presently, he is heading the Nuclear Medicine Department and Thyroid clinic at Riddhivinayak Cardiac and Critical Centre, Malad (W).

The following message given by him makes a lot of sense and is important for all to know

The only flu portals of entry are the nostrils and mouth/throat. In a global epidemic of this nature, it's almost impossible to avoid coming into contact with H1N1, in spite of all precautions. Contact with H1N1 is not so much of a problem as proliferation is.

While you are still healthy and not showing any symptoms of H1N1 infection, in order to prevent proliferation, aggravation of symptoms, and development of secondary infections, some very simple steps, not fully highlighted in most official communications, can be practiced (instead of focusing on how to stock N95 or Tamiflu):

1. Frequent hand-washing (well highlighted in all official communications).

2. "Hands-off-the-face" approach: Resist all temptations to touch any part of face (unless you want to eat, bathe or slap).

3. Gargle twice a day with warm salt water (use Listerine if you don't trust salt). H1N1 takes 2-3 days after initial infection in the throat/ nasal cavity to proliferate and show characteristic symptoms. Simple gargling prevents proliferation. In a way, gargling with salt water has the same effect on a healthy individual that Tamiflu has on an infected one. Don't underestimate this simple, inexpensive, and powerful preventative method.

4. Similar to 3 above, clean your nostrils at least once every day with warm salt water.

5. Boost your natural immunity with foods that are rich in Vitamin C ( and other citrus fruits). If you have to supplement with Vitamin C tablets, make sure that it also has Zinc to boost absorption.

6. Drink as much of warm liquids (tea, coffee, etc) as you can. Drinking warm liquids has the same effect as gargling, but in the reverse direction. They wash off proliferating viruses from the throat into the stomach where they cannot survive, proliferate, or do any harm.

I suggest you pass this on to your entire e-list. You never know who might pay attention to it - and STAY ALIVE because of it.

Re cleaning nostrils with warm salt water:

The "Nasaline Rinsing System" is simply a large syringe that gently (depending on how hard you depress it) forces a stream of saline solution through the nostril. I'm told that it's not uncomfortable and the results have been impressive! It can be purchased at drug stores and some health food shops.

Perfecting the Backline Betty Experience!

noreply@blogger.com (The Sweet 7) — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 13:56:00 +0000

The Backline Betty can become the Backline Babe!

I am most definitely happy with my role as the Backline Betty. With the knowledge of the money expected to be spent for a trip to Trinidad Carnival (airline tickets, accommodation, fete tickets, taxi/car rental, food, etc.), an exorbitant frontline costume is the least of my concerns!

... Although, I hope to live the Frontline High Maintenance Over Achiever (F.H.O) experience some day either during Caribana or Miami Carnival. The cost is about $300 to $320.

With five years experience as a Backline Betty in Trinidad, St.Lucia, Toronto and Miami carnivals, I think it's time to perfect the Backline Betty experience, to Backline Babe!

Here are some of my tips and suggestions ...

1. Get your makeup done! - Although I never stress over this aspect, I usually go for a very simple face. I just can't see myself waking up early to prep, knowing full well that I even struggle to wake up from a night of partying to make it on the road. LOL! Yet, in Toronto especially, I have seen some of the most made up faces. So maybe make an appointment with a local makeup artist or get a free make over in the mall.

Even your shoes for the road ... have some fun and decorate!

2. Engage Spectators - There would be no carnival, if it weren't for spectators, so engage them! This is the first year, I realized that spectators are an integral part of carnival.

During Caribana, from the minute we got off the train to hit the streets, my group of 5 girls only were inundated with requests for photo ops. I suppose with no men around, or in sight ... asking any one of us was so much easier. Here is the scene .. tourists, yeah, even Chinese (just to show the distance and scope), mothers/fathers with children (One father told his lil' 5 year old son, go, go take the picture, you'll thank me when you're older. LOL!) and men, lots of MEN (Male friends had to each get the picture taken with a group of 5 ladies in costume), all wanted a picture with us! ... And the minute we stopped for one picture, another person would come to ask one of us in the group of 5. So it was truly an endearing experience!

3. Make Eye Contact / Chat with a Spectator - Usually, when I hit the road, by the time the music and liquor gets into my system, I forget the world around me. I'm oblivious to everyone and everything! I'm in my zone. LOL! So again, I'm learning to engage the crowd of spectators. Just so I never miss an opportunity to connect.

During Miami Carnival, I happened to stand close to two guys. One had a gold grill in his mouth, and that was so apparent by the big cheesy grin and excitement on his face. So I put my hand on his shoulder and said, "If you like it so much, next year you should join a band!" LOL!

Just think, if he were an American boy who just came out for the parade, or a day of excitement, maybe by being social ... I've just encouraged him to participate and enjoy our culture!

4. Take Pictures with your Audience - Whether they're a spectator on the side of the road or a reveler in the band, if they are admiring you, take the picture / let them tief a wine! Give them something to remember you, ok, your beautiful costume then! LOL! There are always takers, men especially!

5. Perfect your Stance - Stand tall. Elongate your back. Push back your shoulders, which then pops out the boobies, and sticks out the bumsie! Give your back some curvature. Just think America's Next Top Model, with Tyra Banks in the back of your head! LOL!

6. Smile. - A lil' advice from Wendy Williams during an episode with twin sisters wondering why one could not pick up men like her sister, "Smile with your teeth, not just a lip smile!" So open up, don't be shy! I'm still working on that. LOL! Even ask "How you doin?" LOL!

7. Wear your flag, represent your island - Show people where you are from. You're your island's (country's) ambassador at that point! Let them differentiate that we're not all from Trinidad. That (your country, what ever it is) has some nice girls too! LOL!

...And with the number of pictures, I took during Caribana ... I know those pictures are now far and wide! I repped it for St.Lucia and always will!

My experience during Miami Carnival by wearing my flag, identified me to other St.Lucians that day. Instantly, we identified each other and a comradery was formed. All along the parade route, we smiled, had fun ... just knowing the other was there! Amazingly too, we come in all shapes and sizes, but were all the same people!

8. Know Your Band and Section - Thanks to Saucy's article as a spectator during Miami Carnival, this is my last suggestion. Just like a red carpet please know the name of your "designer" in this case "the name of your band" and your "section." Shame on you for not knowing! LOL!

It's a pity that it would take a Jamaican citizen, a reluctant American resident and now a temporary St. Lucian expatriate to make my home country so colorful and charming! Nonetheless, this blogger is chronicling her six months grad school internship in St. Lucia & other islands with such flare! "The Caribbean for the geographically deficient," in her words. Working on biodiversity conservation via protected areas.

But that's simply not it, "Then there's cotton skirts, white shirts, silk dresses, thrifted pieces, fabric. Necklaces. Purses. Cut. Colour. Construction. Style. Rants, raves, commentary and photos."

Oh those simple, yet superb photos take us to the streets, every lil' nook and cranny of St.Lucia, revealing our rich culture and forgotten tastes!

Sneaky Sunday

noreply@blogger.com (The Sweet 7) — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 11:21:00 +0000

Sneaky Sunday ... more like SEXY!

So I'm up early this AM tending to Farmville crops and could not fall back to sleep. So I figured I better catch up on my email, more like Fashion subscription emails. For some reason today, I decided to click on the "Travel" section of one my regular email subscriptions. As a new transplant to the area, I clicked on travel info for the Washington D.C area. After minutes of bookmarking restaurants and activities, I'd like to try ... a bucket list of sorts, this just sneaks up on me .... Sneaky Sunday. The site was sexy and visually appealing, I then sneaked a peak at hotspots in Burlington, Vermont. This site got it right so it was a great indicator that this was my kind of site! 'Cause I partied in ALL the venues, particularly one called Red Square where I was Queen!

SneakySunday.com uses a national network of like-minded young professionals to provide upscale recommendations and rankings for venues (bars, restaurants, hotels, etc) and events (concerts, sports, theatre, etc) based on various categories of interest, also based on the day of the week when appropriate (several bar categories).

ORIGIN OF THE PHRASE ‘SNEAKY SUNDAY’

The phrase "Sneaky Sunday" came from a good friend who would frequently head out to the bars for a few drinks on a Sunday, often just to watch some football, and the next thing you know he was shutting down the place and taking down numbers. When asked about the night, he’d simply say it was a "sneaky” Sunday. We liked the saying so much that we started using it for everything that was "sneaky”--a restaurant that nobody knew about, an unexpectedly fun night, or even someone at work who was "sneaky" hot. It quickly became an everyday part of our vocabulary and any night other than Friday or Saturday could become "sneaky" when it involved any social activity.

Three core beliefs have been paramount for the guys of SneakySunday from Day 1:

The site must be easy to navigate and visually pleasing; it must have completely unbiased recommendations and candid commentary; and the suggestions must only be for the absolute best places for specific nights of the week.

How can we continue our beauty rituals without breaking the bank?

According to Essence.com, the answer is: Cosmetology schools also known as Beauty Schools. Beauty schools provide a variety of services at a fraction of the standard salon price. These services include, relaxers, cuts, coloring, weaving, up-do's and more. Some schools even offer manicures, pedicures, waxing and make-up application. Most beauty schools have student salon hours that are open to the public. It's a win-win situation for both parties, the students get to practice on real people, and you get to take advantage of low prices. It's great that many of the students are experienced hair stylists, who are enrolled to receive certification. Using the beauty school circuit is also an excellent way to learn what leads to healthier hair, and explore the new cutting edge hairstyles. So next time you need to get beautified on a budget, stop by your nearest beauty school and see what they have to offer.
