YEEEES! A new blog for my vanity, finally. It's blog title is... well, you can see it right there. So this is going to be my blog for all fashion-related shiz.

Garlic-Powered Nails

Since I miss blogging already, especially blogging something related to fashion and vanity, I'll be sharing a newly-founded idea (well, it's new for me) I bumped into the worldwide net. This actually made me thought of having a Vegetable of the Month section in my blog, considering that I am a Biology major. Okay, that's like so Plant Taxonomy, so... no, thanks. :))

Kingdom Plantae

Angiosperms

Monocots

Order Asparagales

Family Amaryllidaceae

Subfamily Allioideae

Genus Allium

Species Allium sativum

Just to let you know what garlic looks like hehehe

Allium sativum or garlic, in layman's term, is an extremely versatile plant native to central Asia. From cooking recipes, to medicinal applications, to health-related properties, just name it and Captain Garlic will come to your rescue.

He may look like a pussy, nor is he Captain Garlic, but Boy Bawang has incredible garlic powers, too!

According to "The Herbal Home Remedy Book," garlic's antibiotic properties can help a wide spectrum of illnesses, including colds, sore throats, strained muscles and earaches. Garlic also has anti-oxidative, antiseptic, antibiotic, anti-fungal, antibacterial, antiviral, and even anti-cancer properties. And it is also believed to reduce cholesterol. Okay, well, I'm not here to lecture about GC stuff like this.

Strong nails that do not break easily and grow fast is the dream of every woman who wants to have lovely hands, which is exactly not the case for me.

Yes, yes, I nail bite, and I wish I am that hot.

There are natural home remedies to keep the nails strong, and might as well help it grow longer. However, if we want to have beautiful nails it is necessary to devote a few minutes of our daily routine to them (or at least once a week). And yes, I'm not into devoting my time for my nails, either.

Now that we have gotten to know most of garlic's benefits, aside from cooking with and eating garlic, the juice in fresh garlic will also strengthen and harden weak, brittle fingernails. All we need is a clove or two of crushed garlic and a nail polish of your choice.

To harden our nails with the help of garlic powers, all we have to do is:

1. Chop and crush a clove, or two, of garlic and add this to your nail polish.

2. Let this sit for several days, allowing the garlic paste to settle in your nail polish. This lets your old regular nail polish becomes a strengthening solution! (Some store-bought nail hardeners list garlic extract as an ingredient. e.g. Mavala Scientifique Nail Hardener and Oleda Hard Hard Nails.)

But if you're doubting about this technique, or if you don't use nail polish but still want to strengthen your nails, you can just try to dab the garlic paste on your nails and let it stand for a few minutes until it dries. Doing this for a couple of days will yield the same benefits. Just don't forget to wash it after, or you'll be making Edward Cullen run away from you all the time.

Check it awt!

HAPPY 2nd ANNIVERSARY, kikay trekkie! More powers to you and your ultimate kikay blog/vlog!

Daylight-Outdoor Look

Choosing the right color of eyeshadow to use is very important, as a wrong color can make you look disastrous instead of beautiful. Eyeshadow color depends on the color of the eyes and the occasion when it is to be used, and sometimes the skin tone as well.

Shades of brown accentuate the eyes for a fresh daylight-outdoor-look. As for people with brown eyes, it may be one of the most common eye colors, but it is versatile when it comes to mix-and-matching with eyeshadow. For people with brown eyes, it is important to take notice of the hue of the eyeshadow to be used. Light brown, peach, tan and other related hues are great for the ordinary-day-outdoors look. If you want to use a darker shade of brown, be sure that it is darker than your eye color so that both your eyes and your eyeshadow can be accentuated by each other.

For morenas, like me, it is best to use a lighter or darker shade of brown than your skin tone. For my case, I use the lighter shade, the one pointed in the photo below. I like using brush better instead of an eyeshadow applicator since it can help you make the light and natural shade. As for the eyeshadow applicator, it is better to use for doing eyeshadow patterns.

Light-brown eyeshadow and brush I use

Use an eyeshadow brush to smudge the eyeshadow over your eyelids, following the shape of your eyes. Also, apply eyeshadow beneath the outermost corner of your eyes (This will have a better effect to those with depressed eye corners.)

Outcome of eyes with the eyeshadow applied

Lastly, to give the final touches, apply a thin layer of mascara, preferably black, to give the the natural look for the eyelashes. It can accentuate and give the eyes a fuller look. You can also apply black or brown eyeliner, I prefer the brown eyeliner though but I didn't have mine at home, but only to the edges of the eyes ('coz applying it to entirely will make your eyes look bigger) - which can also help in giving you that tiger-look eyes.

Navel To Be Reborn

Your navel may even be sexier than your face.

The navel, or as most of us call it - the belly button, is a scar on the abdomen due to the cutting of the umbilical cord during birth. It may appear as either a protrusion or a depression, which others may regard as an outie or an innie, respectively. I personally believe that an innie navel looks better than an outie (No offense to the outie's out there).

You may disregard your navel as one of the sexiest parts of your body, as it is only a "scar since birth". But the navel can be greatly reborn into something hot and sexy, using adornment that is. It started during the early 1990's when Aerosmith launched a music video of Cryin' with Alicia Silverstone's navel pierced. Addition to her public appearance with the embellished belly button were famous models and celebrities, not to mention Naomi Campbell, with their navels adorned.

This is how a belly button ring looks like.

Adding adornment to your navel, such as the belly button ring, is one way to get it more attractive than any other part of your body. But there are few things to be considered if you're thinking of having your navel pierced. (As I am also thinking of having it adorned.) These tips might help you clear your (my) mind if a belly button ring is what's really best for you and your body.

1. You first need to find a trusted professional body piercer (body piercing salon) and a good belly button ring.

Ouchie! Yeah, it really must hurt that much. But if you like it so much, then pain must not stop you from having it.

2. Be aware that anyone can get an infection from a wound. A belly button piercing is a superficial body piercing and is still considered as a wound. Thus it may still take up to a year to have it healed. Proper piercing aftercare is strongly recommended!

This is some major navel infection from an allergy brought by improper navel care. You wouldn't want anything like this, do you?

3. If you notice that it is completely healed, then you may change you belly button ring according to whatever style you want to show-off in the catwalk.

Let your belly button shine your way to stardom.

And your belly button lives happily ever after. The end!

Hot Pink In the Summer Sun

Wondering what could be hotter than the summer sun? The answer is you! And when I say you, your nails are included.

Sorry for my ugly nails and fingers in the photo above, but I just wanted to show you my Hot Pink coated nails. Hot pink or neon colored nails are great eye catchers that will go pretty well with dark colored swim suits while bathing in the beach under the hot summer sun. With those two combined, you'll be one hot ass of a sexy bitch in the beach. Sexier than Popeye's Olive in bikini. Kidding about Olive. Ha ha ha. Now, don't forget the colorless nail polish as the top coat! As this will give that extra glossy effect to those hot and sexy nails. May or may not be with the sparkling effect, the gloss alone gives your hands the fuller sexy look.
