Victoria Secret Angels and what their life as a supermodel teaches us.

Hello, sugar tarts I hope you are all doing amazing in your life <3 Victoria Secret Angels are everybody’s sweethearts. They know exactly how to leave us spellbound with their ocean deep eyes, never-ending flawless legs, bouncing brunettes and ever glowing face. This post is about my all-time favorite Victoria Secret Angels.

 

Gigi Hadid:

Who doesn’t love Gigi? Gigi is the top-notch style icon which is driving all the teen girls crazy. Her sweet relationship with Zayn Malik was also one of the basic reason behind getting into much limelight as people loved this duet. Besides her beauty, she is also well-known for her strength and confidence. I am totally in love with her self-confidence and style. She is gorgeous in her photoshoot and an absolute diva on the ramp. I love her <3

Hadid revealed in 2014 that she was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease, and reiterated this in 2016.

Vitalii Sediuk assaulted Hadid in 2016, and she was commended for how she defended herself from him.

Kendall Jenner:

Kardashians! We all know the fantastic Kardashians. Kylie Jenner is the only person whom I love the most among the Kardashian’s family. She is a top-notch model and the elder sister of cosmetic’s diva Kylie Jenner. Kendall never fails to amaze the crowd by her stunning appearance. She always has this bold and confident yet mature look on her beautifully bone carved face. Paris! London! New York! Milan! The star is earning her model stripes with major runway outings at Chanel, Givenchy and more.

Cara Delevingne:

Paper Town’s Queen, Cara Delevingne is the one I would have married if I were a boy 😀 This lady is a fabulous diva with eyebrows and almost everything on point. I am amazed by her beauty and boldness. She is my sheer role model. Delevingne is openly bisexual. 

At the Women in the World summit in October 2015, Delevingne spoke about her battle with depression which started when she was 15 years old. It was triggered when she discovered her mother’s drug addiction as a teenager. She found help at the age of 16. She left school for six months and agreed to go on medication, which she said might have saved her life. In 2017, she revealed that she also has ADHD, for which she has received treatment ever since she was a child. The backing vocals she sang on her then-girlfriend’s album was on the song Pills, where she sang the lyrics, “Pills to wake, pills to sleep, pills, pills, pills every day of the week / Pills to walk, pills to think, pills, pills, pills for the family / Pills to grow, pills to shrink, pills, pills, pills and a good stiff drink / pills to fuck, pills to eat, pills, pills, pills down the kitchen sink.”

Delevingne also has dyspraxia and found examinations difficult whilst at school.

Bella Hadid:

Gigi Hadid’s younger sister Bella is known as Rani of the ramp. 

Every supermodel has her signature face, and Bella Hadid is no exception. Since breaking into the modeling industry, the 21-year-old has been known for her high-cheekbones, pursed-lips gaze. And though the look has made her bank as a model, Bella isn’t happy with the way that it’s morphed the public’s perception of her—specifically, into thinking that she’s “mean” or a “bitch.”

In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Bella opened up to her older sister, Gigi Hadid, about being called “mean” on her social media because she’s rarely seen smiling. The sisters landed on the topic when Gigi asked Bella about the thing that fans would be surprised to learn about her. “That I never go a day without smiling,” Bella said. 

But that doesn’t mean that comments don’t hurt. Bella went on to open up about how the public’s perception of her affected her for a very long time, especially when people would judge her based on a few pictures. “For a while, I fought a lot of battles—with myself, with people online—and it brought me down,” Bella said. “When people would say, ‘Oh, she’s so mean,’ I wanted to say, ‘Maybe I’ve just had a bad day! Or maybe I’ve just been crying.’ You never know what people are going through.”

Bella also addressed the fact that a lot of her paparazzi photos also show her not smiling. She suggested the stress of the paparazzi causes her to withdraw in herself, which makes it hard for her to smile authentically. “They see such a small piece of our lives, like paparazzi photos of us leaving the house. You know how awkward that is? To walk out of your own home and have 40 people waiting outside. And then you need to smile at random strangers,” Bella said.

Bella has a point. Pictures only offer a snapshot of someone’s life and personality, so to judge someone based on a moment in time is ludicrous. Just because Bella has made what might call a “bitch face” her signature look, doesn’t mean that she’s mean in real life. We hope haters hear Bella’s words and stop prejudging her.

Behati Prinsloo:

Prinsloo is best known for her work as Victoria’s Secrets lingerie model. She appeared in nine Victoria’s Secret Fashion shows from 2007 till 2015 and became a Victoria’s Secret Angel in 2009 and has been the face of Victoria’s Secret PINK line since 2008. She also is a brand ambassador for Seafolly since 2012 and Pepe Jeans since 2014. Prinsloo has appeared on the covers of international fashion magazines including Vogue, GQ, and Elle among others. She was discovered at age sixteen by modeling agency head, Sarah Doukas while on holiday in Cape Town, South Africa. She has been married to Adam Levine since July 19, 2014. They have one child. Prinsloo is absolute beauty and while going through her pictures, I was drooling over my laptop like how could anybody be this much beautiful? 😀

Joan Smalls:

Smalls has the fortitude, but she’s also just plain strong: an athlete in front of the camera, her body is her tool. She suffers from scoliosis, and to manage the pain, she works out like a Trojan, at the gym in her building, with a trainer, and at a class called Bodyburn.

Smalls wasn’t always so lavishly appreciated. Today, makeup artist Tom Pecheux refers to her coloring as “that gold skin tone that everybody would pay to have.” Ferretti says, “Her skin tone alone—I don’t know what it is, it’s so beautiful.” But before it became a trademark, it was an issue. (That is not a sentence that should be written in the twenty-first century, by the way, but there it is.) “I made a list of agencies and went to all the open calls,” Smalls remembers. “One of the agents looked me over and said, ‘Joan, I’d love to represent you, I think you’re great, but you have to straighten your teeth.’ ” She was perplexed. “Why do I have to straighten my teeth?” she asked. “I see models with crooked teeth all the time.” The agent looked her square in the face: “Joan, those models are Caucasian, and you’re not. You’re a black model. And it’s already a challenge.”

Smalls’ response to the evaluation? “I wasn’t bothered by it,” she says. “I appreciate honesty. I don’t like people beating around the bush.” At this, she pauses, twisting a napkin into a tight little roll and bonking it on the table for emphasis. “I thought, You know what? I’m going to take that as constructive criticism. I’m going to take my ass back to Puerto Rico, straighten my teeth, and come back.” She did exactly that, enrolling in college while her teeth were in braces and graduating magna cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in psychology, because why not? She still laments missing summa cum laude “by two points!” In other words, the maturity and intelligence Smalls radiates in pictures is no act. She has navigated this career from a position of relative power—that of a bona fide, degree-holding grown-up. “Frankly, Joan is really smart,” says Ferretti. “She doesn’t do anything by accident. She’s intelligent and clever, and a good businesswoman—she has a lot of ands—and that’s a rarity.”

Candice Swanepoel:

This South African beauty and a mother of two is an amazingly beautiful lady. Candice is beautiful, charming and full of life 🙂  She is fluent in Afrikaans, English, and Portuguese, the last of which she learned from her boyfriend, Hermann Nicoli, a Brazilian model. She has been dating him since they met in Paris when she was 17. In August 2015, the couple announced their engagement. In March 2016, it was reported that she was pregnant with the couple’s first child. On October 5, 2016, she gave birth to a son, Anacan Swanepoel Nicoli, in Vitória, Espírito Santo, Brazil. As of 2018, she reportedly lives in New York City.

In December 2017, she announced that she was pregnant with her second child, another son. On 19 June 2018, she gave birth to her second son, Ariel Swanepoel Nicoli.

Miranda Kerr:

Want to see simplicity and glamour in one body? Have a look at Miranda Kerr. With her gorgeous looks and easygoing nature, Australian model Miranda Kerr has taken the fashion world by storm in recent years, appearing in major campaigns and magazines the world over. “We love her because she has the most incredible girl-next-door look and she’s also insanely beautiful,” says one leading photographer about her appeal. “It means women are not intimidated by her looks and guys think they might be able to talk to her. It’s a fantastic combination.”

What does these Victoria Secret Angels teach us?

If despite being very kind and softspoken supermodel, Bella Hadid is labeled with titles like bitch and lifeless just because she doesn’t smile much in her shoots, despite being a sheer beauty and jackpot moneymaker, Cara Delevingne is suffering from depression and anxieties, despite being the most perfect face in the world, Joana Smalls never got a lavish appreciation, then who are we? How much limelight do we get throughout the day? How many Paparazis are clinging to us? How many hours do we have to stand still in front of the camera or walk with aching back and shoe bites for hours and hours? These supermodels teach us that its okay not to be okay sometimes. I would like to say that with greater recognition comes greater criticism. They also give us a beautiful lesson that

This world will always say something… Because people are meant to say! So don’t bother what they say and don’t go out of your comfort zone to get the stupid approvals from people who don’t even know that inside every human is a heart beating.

Looking at the optimistic facet, Gigi Hadid never gave up despite her disease diagnosis and depression. She is totally fantastic and is a motivation for a million of girls out there. Kendall Jenner faces a lot of hate and rudeness just because she is a Kardashian and people call Kardashians the fake humans who only know how to create drama. Kendall never gave up and she is one of the most influential celebrities on social media along with her sister Kylie Jenner. Miranda and Candice are managing their career brilliantly alongside their kids and are also having a happy married life. This is the spirit that we all should be having in our lives. You ain’t perfect, nobody’s perfect! You will see many people who are better than you, stronger than you, sharper than you and prettier than you so what? Just imagine how much hard work and pain they must have gone through in order to achieve this respect and status. Learn from people around you, praise them and try to adopt the positive plus points of the people rather than falling into deep pits of depression and being an inferiority complex. You are beautiful just the way you are. Just keep moving forward on the journey of learning and development. Make your thinking constructive and you will achieve your goals and dreams with flying colors.

Working at Pixar you learn the really honest, hard way of making a great movie, which is to surround yourself with people who are much smarter than you, much more talented than you, and incite constructive criticism; you’ll get a much better movie out of it.

How to throw a birthday party in style.

“Hot July brings cooling showers,
Apricots and gillyflowers.”
– Sara Coleridge, Pretty Lessons in Verse

A humming hello to all the beautiful cupcakes. This post is just about putting a candle on your frosty heads and also, is a special Shoutout to all the July gillyflowers who are either done with their birthday celebrations or are ready to blow the candles.
This post is also a tribute to my sweeties Erass and Zaroya who were born in this month of showers and wet roads, fireworks, and celebrations. Happy birth month to my jars of honey!
Today is all about ideas and plans for throwing a radical birthday party for your friends and family. A birthday is a special occasion that needs to be celebrated happily and smilingly. It doesn’t matter how much crowd is there at your birthday party or how expensive it is planned but the quality people and well-wishers. Here are some ideas for throwing a substantial party. So, let’s buckle up for a fantastic journey!

Fancy Invitations:

Remember, the first impression is the last impression. Usually, people don’t focus much on the advertisement and thus their sale doesn’t go as they had planned. In order to attract as many friends as you can, you have to make some fancy invitations to make the people really feel like coming to your birthday party. Mention the time, venue, theme, dress-up code, essentials to bring and majorly, all the fun items that you will entertain them with. Let’s suppose A magic show or a mini-concert after the cake cutting. You can also send message invitations through your mobile phones. Here are some ideas.

Themed Party:

Whenever you go for planning a party, either a birthday party or a bridal shower, pool party or an anniversary, go for a specific theme. When we talk about the themed party, adults usually kid-zone it whereas, a theme is always a fun either for the kids or the elders. A wide range of themes are offered by party planners and are also available easily at DIY blogs. Girls can go for themes like utopia, fairytale, garden, kitchen, magic cauldrons, spooky witches, shopaholic, selfie queen, easter eggs, fashion diva, makeup shop, candy lick, fairy lanterns, rainbows, unicorns, polka dots, fruity fun, dreamcatchers, and Jello-Bello. Boys can choose pirates, soccer, airplanes, superhero squad, spooky ghosts, Hawaii islands, sportsmen spirit, spaceship, astronauts, aliens, woodlands, Carribean, monsters, ties, and shirts, zootopia, cars, mustache, laser beams, circus, around the world, ships, castles, and swords.
Decorate the area likewise as well as the birthday cake. Ask the guests to wear costumes accordingly. Here are some ideas.

Cake table and birthday wall:

Cake table and birthday wall are the main part of a birthday party and a center of attention. We cannot imagine a birthday without them both. Cake table should be decorated with accessories according to the theme of your party. All the accessories should be filled in vases and crockery. You can also make tags to highlight the decorations and eatables on the table. Eatables should be placed separately like in segments so that they could be easily accessible. Also, you can easily design them as per the theme then. A birthday wall represents the true essence of your birthday’s theme. So focus on its decoration more than anything else. It should be well equipped with all the related decorations with your name in the center. Here are some ideas.

Ambiance and lounge decor:

Along with fine dine and funky decorations, guests need proper accommodation and comfort as well. In order to make them feel at ease and make their stay worthwhile, you have to take care of the sitting area so that they might stay for a long time without any regrets. Make your party hall or living room look like a perfect birthday dine in. The decorations should be according to the theme and the tables and chairs should be near the birthday table and well equipped with all the birthday essentials like birthday caps, drinks, glasses, plates and straws. Some ideas are here.

Birthday Games:

Birthday games have always fascinated kids but when it comes to adults, it is a whole next level fun! Always plan different birthday games in different corners of your lawn or maybe indoors and tempt all the guests to take part in them. Games like truth and dare, pass the pillow, Chinese whisper, toss the ball, blind challenges, guessing games and many others are very popular among teens and kids. Here are some ideas.

Make fun corners:

It doesn’t matter if the party is in the garden or inside your living room, you can make fun corners having either sweet delights, juicy splash, popping balloons, fizzy drinks or the sparkling decorations. Fun corners are most tempting when they are decorated in a funky or vintage manner as per your birthday theme. Some ideas are:

You can never forget the photo booths as they are a must to have to get a party going. People are more photoholic than ever before so to give them a splendid surprise, you can make selfie and photobooths for them. Pop up the selfie booths with props and masquerade masks to make it a next level fun. Picture booths and props should be according to your theme party.

Leisure area and movie night:

At the end of your special day, arrange a movie night or a pool movie. You can put up the projector screen to have either a movie night, musical evening or slideshow of the birthday person. Birthday speech could be made by friends and family while having a fizzy toss there. This is the best thing you can do for a perfect family gatherings where you can share laughter, smiles, tears and memories. You can have a coffee corner, popcorn machine, fizzy bar, potato chips stall or a chocolate fountain to ensure availability of snacks in your leisure area as well as comfort. Make arrangements for comfy and warm pillows and blankets by a fine mild pool for the guests.

I WORE GLITTER FOR A DAY!

 

Personality is the glitter that sends your little gleam across the footlights and the orchestra pit into that big black space where the audience is.

-Mae West

 

While taking my bubbly morning bath, I looked at myself into the big mirror adjacent to my bathtub. Wearing the towel robe I stepped out of the water. I chose a pink shimmer palette out of my cosmetic’s medley and made a trail of glitter on my cheekbones with my finger. I stood there for a fine 15 minutes staring at my glitter kissed cheekbones; lost into very strange thoughts. It was kind of a daydream or whatever but it pushed me to write this article.  Glitter is the prettiest thing in this universe. It is a healer and a concealer. Glitter can hide all the flaws and can cheer up almost any living thing in this world. We all love glitter and try to use it in our life anyhow so I thought of wearing glitter for a day. Dropping my robe on the floor, I carefully started sticking exotic glitter to my naked body. There I stood sparkling bright than forever; ready for a magical day ahead.

sm  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We are on a journey of awakening. Every day is a new day with new freshness, new sunshine, new attributes and new faces. We can never expect anything to be the same every day. This is how we melt ourselves into the mould of acceptance and thanksgiving. When I wore the sparkling glitter, I had new adventures waiting for me out there.

Glitter trail:

hah7

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As I left my home, I left a bright glitter trail behind me. This trail turned many heads and people came to meet me all by themselves and gave me more respect and importance than ever. I showered glitter everywhere; drank wine, glitter kiss on the glass, sat on the sofa, Voila! A glitter stain. I was shocked but also felt butterflies in my stomach. People gave me sweet smiles and giggling waves. I loved it! I loved how exactly everything was and prayed silently that this might never end. Everything was perfect. I was perfect! Now, let’s replace this trail of glitter with your humbleness and dignity. Humbleness is all about giving. When you are humble, you are not a harmful element for this society in any way. This makes people fall in love with you because respect is always for respect. Dignity is about taking. No matter how humble you are, no matter how kind you are, never lose your dignity. Love yourself and give yourself the right importance because those who don’t recognize themselves can never make their worth. Humbleness and dignity are the glitter trail that you can actually leave behind you. It will surely turn every head wherever you go and people will always remember you in good words. Everyone will talk lavishly behind your back and you will get all the prestige and appreciation.

Sparkly handshakes:

hah14

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I shook many hands and left them all glitter pigmented. It was as if I am a fairy god-mother who is casting her magic spells on Cinderella. Everyone was happy and impressed. They did handshakes again and again with me while their chuckles echoed in the air. Now, let’s replace that glitter pigment with pure affection and generosity. No matter how kind we are, we often lack generosity. We might love the people around us but sometimes we are not very lavish in appreciating them and acknowledging their value in our life. See, you do leave a comment on a post but forget to be generous and hearty in appreciating the blogger that put a lot of effort in his/her writings. Secondly, whatever you do, keep it pure. Flattery and exaggeration might please the other person for the time-being but it stains your heart badly. Flattery turns into envy and jealousy in no time. So love people and recognize their importance from the core of your heart. Cherish it and make their day. This will surely make people get attracted to you and you will have an amazing and genuine company for your whole life.

Shimmering fairy dust:

 

hah8

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I cuddled my pup and there he was, fur-filled with shimmer. Upon feeding the cat on the wall, she was also sprinkled with my fairy dust. The little bug that I touched on the leaf spike sparkled brightly in the sunlight. I tickled and giggled with the children of my street and they started poking me to see the magic happening. The shining lacquer was dripping down their fingers. Replace the shimmering lacquer and fairy dust with humanity and kindness. Humanity is the best of all the faiths and beliefs. It works wonders both for you and for this world. This world is established on the pillar of humanity and we have to continue with this magical belief. Humanity is for all, either it is animals, plants, water bodies and human beings. We have to be kind to feel the real essence of life. Humanity involves all the feelings and duties that you should perform being an active member of this society. You are born for a reason, find that motive of yours and accomplish your duties. Your behaviours affect everything around you directly or indirectly. So keep in mind, to be happy, satisfied and to keep others content. Serve as a human first.

A hypothesis was formulated by the chemist James Lovelock and co-developed by the microbiologist Lynn Margulis in the 1970s. Lovelock named the idea after Gaia, the primordial goddess who personified the Earth in Greek mythology

  • Gaia Hypothesis:

Gaia hypothesis hypothesizes that Earth is alive and it maintains the conditions necessary for its survival. Our planet functions as a single organism that maintains conditions necessary for its survival.

It provides us with information about the interaction of physical, chemical, geological and biological processes on earth. The beliefs of this theory are:

  • Earth is a single living entity
  • The salinity of oceans remains constant even when the river salts and acid rains etc could have increased it up till now.
  • Temperature is regulated by clouds; one day it was extremely humid, the other day it will rain.
  • Continents move, drifting apart on their crustal plates
  • Earth act to regulate the flow of energy in it and recycling of materials.
  • Captures energy in the form of heat for photosynthesis and life on earth gives us warmth that is I think a very motherly gesture.
  • However, man is working against the natural processes of the earth so it could be perceived that these adjustments by earth would exclude man one day.
  • We have a direct relationship with our earth
  • When the earth was observed from the moon, it appeared to be alive; breathing oxygen, whereas all other planets appeared to be dead.

We can take an example here:

As the human body is a self-regulating entity and has pH, lungs, stomach, nerves, senses etc and if anything alien enters our body, it would be eliminated by our immunity system in one way or another. Similarly, the earth is like our body, rivers and water bodies are its blood, its atmosphere is its lung, lands are its bones and living organisms are its senses. If anything harmful enters the earth, it will exclude it anyway.

 

Glimmering hugs and cuddles:

My boyfriend came over to my place and we hugged and cuddled each other. He was amazed by his girlfriend’s mermaid transformation. My man enjoyed a lot and we played touching our fingertips, doing shiny pinky promises, blowing flying glitter kisses and leaving his lips shining with glitter gloss.

What if we replace the glimmering cuddles and shiny pinky promises with sincerity and truthfulness? Sincerity is the key ingredient for the pudding of relationships. This world will become a heaven if everybody gets sincere with the people around them and the relationships and responsibilities they have to fulfill. What a devoted world it would be. Truthfulness is like a surgery that hurts so bad but cures for life. It is a one time pain that eventually sets you free from every shackle of dishonesty and sufferings, fears and troubles. While a lie is like a painkiller that gives you instant relief but leaves it’s side effects forever. Always choose honesty and loyalty over lies and deception. Be loyal to yourself and to every person around you.

Glowing divinity:

At the end of the day, the glitter started to fade away. Slowly and steadily all of it was gone and I stood naked in front of that same mighty mirror from where the story started. My heart started to glow inside my chest. I made this whole fantasy of mine. I have got the real power to write my own story. It’s innate. It’s inbuilt, so why underestimate ourselves? If we replace this glowing heart with two secret magic potions of loving yourself and willpower, we can live our life with flying colours. True divinity always comes from within and nothing is more powerful than the wonders of willpower and self-confidence. This world is revolving around you not you revolving around it. If YOU are not there, nothing is! Keep yourself, love yourself, own yourself and deserve yourself. Be who you are rather than being someone else. Lady Gaga is here to save the day:

“‎Do not allow people to dim your shine because they are blinded. Tell them to put on some sunglasses, cuz we were born this way bitch!”  ― Lady Gaga

Masterpiece singer Jessie J. writes in her famous song:

I still fall on my face sometimes and
I Can’t color inside the lines ’cause
I’m perfectly incomplete
I’m still working on my masterpiece and I
I wanna hang with the greatest gotta
Way to go, but it’s worth the wait, no
You haven’t seen the best of me
I’m still working on my masterpiece and I
Those who mind, don’t matter
Those who matter, don’t mind
If you don’t catch what I’m throwing then I leave you behind
Don’t need a flash
And I am leaving like that
They talk that Blah blah that la la, that rah rah sh
Go with the punches, and take the hits
Sometimes I mess up, I eff up, I swing and miss
But it’s okay, I’m cool with this

You all have a magical jar full of eye-popping glitter inside your soul. Just find the secret place where that magical jar is hidden deep inside your pretty self and invert it on your body and soul. After wearing glitter for a day, I transformed it into magical words of good behaviors, kind heart, love, affection, loyalty, honesty, modesty, sincerity, devotedness, humbleness, charity heart, and humanity. Now it’s your turn to wear glitter for a day and bleed glitter <3 

I wish you all a happy and a magical life full of glitters and fireworks. Best wishes and much love to all the people who love and support me with their kind words of appreciation and sunshine. Happy Glittering munchkins! 🙂

There are stars inside us: Let’s rediscover our long-forgotten magic.

There are stars inside you that makes you beautiful with what you have and who you are. Re discover your own stars rather than stealing others’s.

This is survival of the fittest. No matter how good a moment seems to be, we are going to be ungrateful for the things we have got and cry over the things that could have been done. We all have got our own charm and potentials and it is absolutely okay if anybody is better than you in any aspect of life. Maybe he can’t do what you are capable of doing. Discover your charm and reflect the shine and spark!

Let me tell you a story, Samantha was a gorgeous lady who lived a lavish life with her handsome husband. She had everything we can ever dream of. She used to go shopping with her friends and did many world tours throughout her life. One day she bought brand new Bugatti Chiron that worth $ 2.7 million. Later that night she opened up her Instagram account and saw her friend Louis’s story in which he was flashing his Limited Edition Bugatti Veyron by Masonry Vivere worth $3.4 million. Samantha threw her phone on the bed and said in anger “People are never going to let me live peacefully.”

Samantha bought flight tickets for vacations in Maldives Island but when she saw Eleanore’s story about her bachelor’s party in Dubai, this stressed-out Samantha even more. She canceled the plan of visiting the Maldives and booked a flight to Dubai instead. Samantha bought a box of chocolate worth $500 as a gift for Eleanore while Diana brought a lavish bottle of red wine worth $1000. This made everyone’s jaw dropped. Samantha drank the whole night in despair and anger until she had a mouthful of vomit at the end. Samantha became a depression patient and died out of high alcohol dosage one night in her luxury residence at the beach.

This is not about Samantha, we all are Samantha in one way or another. In this article, I am going to discuss some evil traits that destroy our internal beauty and the stars we possess one by one without we even knowing it.

 

Envy and Jealousy steal your stars:

Envy and jealousy are two major factors that lead us to the destruction of our happiness and satisfaction stars. These emotions lead us to frustration and hypocrisy. Jealousy is when you are fiercely protective and possessive about your own belongings while envy is getting aroused by someone else’s possession. Them both makes us ugly as we care less about our success and happiness while dwelling more about others. We are less ourselves and more others. Your originality ends where envy and jealousy starts. These both connotations are very evil and we should try as much as possible to stay away from them. Envy and jealousy lead us to crime, thoughts of defaming and harming the other person.

Everyone is beautiful in his and her own way. I don’t have to be YOU in order to be perfect. I am supposed to be me because if I were to be you, God would have never created me who I am in the first place.

Many reported cases show that jealousy and envy had lead to more crime and murders in teens. Either it is upon youth, physique, intelligence, relationships, wealth, health, beauty or EX, below are some crime reports that represent the true devastation of human lives out of envy and jealousy.

 

Envy:

1. In one of the most disturbing murder cases ever, now infamous Gertrude Baniszewski, alongside her teenage children, viciously tortured and murdered 16-year-old Sylvia Liken in 1965. Liken and her sister was placed under Baniszewski’s care by their parents, who worked in a carnival, for several months.

During this time, Baniszewski repeatedly “punished” Sylvia Liken for prostitution and pregnancy, though she was actually a virgin while delivering bizarre sermons about the filthiness of women. She encouraged her children to torture Liken as well, including pushing her down the stairs and making her eat human faeces until Liken finally died of brain haemorrhage and shock.

Baniszewski later claimed she was on drugs the entire time, but it’s been theorized she was jealous of Liken’s beauty and youth, while Baniszewski herself had been marred by many troubled relationships in her past. She was let out on parole after just twenty years in prison. (source: https://www.ranker.com/list/jealous-killers/elle-tharp)

 

Jealousy:

2. When 60-year-old business woman Sadie Hartley got back together with her old boyfriend Ian Johnston, she had no idea the jealous rivalry she ignited. Sarah Williams, 35, had slept with Johnston while he was single and seemingly became obsessed. The pair continued to communicate through occasional sexting once he was back together with Hartley.

But Williams saw one roadblock, and that roadblock was Hartley. So she enlisted her longtime friend, Katrina “Kitt” Walsh, to plan the perfect murder. The two women spent a year plotting up ways to kill Hartley, which Walsh documented meticulously in her diary. In January 2016, after enacting a “dry run” of the crime with a fake flower delivery, Williams entered Hartley’s home, used a stun gun on her, and stabbed her to death. Despite all their planning, the two were apprehended not long afterwards, and both were found guilty of murder. (source: https://www.ranker.com/list/jealous-killers/elle-tharp)

 

How well do you remember the first fight with your beloved cousins over your boyfriend or girlfriend? Yes, we all cherish our childhood with our cousins and friends whereas, a single person appears out of nowhere and suddenly steals your heart. You become so possessive about him that even a word against him is a matter of life and death for you. Remember! a true love makes you feel free rather than caging you in the shackles of insecurities, doubts, and confusions. Jealousy is an indicator that either you don’t trust your partner or your partner is not worth to be trusted. In both the cases, you are living a life of dishonesty with yourself and with your partner. It could be well explained by this saying:

The person who is meant to be yours will never give up on you and if that person leaves, he had never been yours 🙂

Live a life of freedom and love wildly! Love is free of bounds and constraints. Love is for everyone and no matter how hard you might try, you can never stop anyone from loving anyone. Love is blind and deaf. Envy is as if you are trying to copy Donald Trump while you yourself look like Rihanna. You are you! Own yourself and your belongings and love yourself more than anyone else could ever do. If you would not make your worth, nobody is gonna recognize your value.

 

Stop Imitating and comparing yourself:

 

Everything in this world is not meant to be yours. You will not get everything you wish for. Your dream might be a nightmare for someone else. This is what makes us unique and different from each other.

Back in 2017, I tried to copy a beautiful hairstyle of Zooey Deschanel. I cut down some bangs and thought that I would transform into a beautiful diva 😀 Whereas, I ended up looking like an absolute jerk! So I took this weird picture down below in the honor of my stupid most decision. 😀 It’s good to TRY and LEARN new things but the craving and passion for transforming yourself completely or trying and be someone else are useless as well as painful. I destroyed my hair and still, I can’t style my hair because of them rotten bangs I once dreamed of having. Even if I would have gone to a saloon for this haircut, let me mention you here that my hair texture does not support bangs at all. 🙁

See, everything is not meant to be yours and you have your own style and look. Own that and rock it! If I am Zarbakht, I have to make my own style and identity rather than to start writing my blogs as Angeline Jolie to get more followers 😀

Now, what should I do? Shall I start crying the hell out of me because I can never look like Zoee? Shall I get myself bald just because my hair is useless and I can’t ever have them sexy bangs? No, instead I made my own style, I keep my flicks long now and hair curled up as they naturally are. And I guess people like them the way they are because at times people ask me “how do you manage to curl your hair every morning?” Ha-ha, I think I look much better this way.

 

Now I am going to show you some people who tried to transform themselves into famous celebrities through plastic surgeries and laser treatments. They ended up ruining their pretty faces even after going through pain and trouble.

ang.jpg

I feel pity for her, just look at her before and after transformation. She was such a cutie but she didn’t own her identity and lost her originality as well.

shauna-sand-plastic-surgery.jpg

Look at this diva, Shauna Sand is yet another plastic surgery obsessed quasi-celebrity who is famous for all the wrong reasons. She transformed herself into some celebrity and ended up looking like this. To be honest, I envy how beautiful she used to be before. Just Kidding! But she was really very pretty before. Wasn’t she? 

the.jpg

There are many more such cases in which people ruined their faces and lost their originality in order to look like some other person. See, we might not like ourselves the way we are, but somewhere, someone is also copying us because we can’t often see the real stars we have inside us that others can clearly see. Just find your own beauty and enhance it. Rather than losing your identity. This is mere envy and one should keep away from it. You are beautiful just the way you are 🙂

Just because you’re not thin does not mean you’re ugly. You are beautiful because of the light you carry inside you. You are beautiful because you say you are, and you hold yourself that way.

-Mary Lambert

Back in 2017, when I was very vigorous with changing my looks, Auburn hair dye was very trending then. I bought a pack for me and dyed my hair Auburn. Thinking that this colour is going to suit me a lot and my skin tone will go exactly with it, I forgot to bleach my already jet black hair. Well, when I washed my hair, my mother and sister criticized me a lot. They said that I am giving a straight outta gutter look and also, you look like a filthy beggar who had never washed his hair since forever. This was terrible! 😀 But I coped up with all the harsh comments and was very confident about that horrible look of mine. 😀 See, I had no choice than to accept my fault and learn from it. So I embraced that very look as my punishment. And trust me, it doesn’t make any difference. It doesn’t make any difference either my hair was black or brown. People didn’t notice at all because it was just a minor brown shade that my black hair picked up from that loaded bag of hair dye. I was happy because I knew that this color is going to fade away eventually so it’s not a biggie. But think about those girls who changed their looks permanently. It is true that with envy comes greater problems.

 

Stop hunting for more and more and own your stars:

We see a lot of fresh faces entering our media and with an interval of time, we see a sudden maturity on their once a cute face. Maturity is good if developed with time. These actresses turn themselves into mature ladies and when they actually get mature, they start undergoing surgeries to look younger and fresh. This is just like a hunt. You start with fish and a time comes when you aren’t satisfied with the number of lions you hunt every day.

There is no room for a complainer in a universe of law, and worry is soul-suicide. By your very attitude of mind you are strengthening the chains which bind you, and are drawing about you the darkness by which you are enveloped, Alter your outlook upon life, and your outward life will alter.

Build yourself up in the faith and knowledge, and make yourself worthy of better surroundings and wider opportunities. Be sure, first of all, that you are making the best of what you have.

Do not delude yourself into supposing that you can step into greater advantages whilst overlooking smaller ones, for if you could, the advantage would be impermanent and you would quickly fall back again in order to learn the lesson which you had neglected.

-James Allen

James Allen, a British philosophical writer explained it beautifully that you cannot ask for more and more until and unless you excel and master in what you already have and what you already possess. Love yourself and own your possessions, only then, nature will grant you this right to have more and better. If we aren’t happy with what we are today, trust me tomorrow can never earn us satisfaction and content because people who are greedy for more have no tomorrow and no best. Be thankful for what you have and love yourself whilst struggling for the betterment of your future. History had witnessed many Kings and Queens who tried to get more while they already had more than enough, they always ended up with bloodshed and brutality.

 

As the child at school must master one standard before passing onto the next, so, before you can have that greater good which you so desire, must you faithfully employ that which you already possess.

The parable of the talents is a beautiful story illustrative of this truth, for does it not plainly show that if we misuse, neglect, or degrade that which we possess, be it ever so mean and insignificant, even that little will be taken from us, for, by our conduct we show that we are unworthy of it.

Perhaps you are living in a small cottage, and are surrounded by unhealthy and vicious influences.

You desire a larger and more sanitary residence. Then you must fit yourself for such a residence by first of all making your cottage as far as possible a little paradise.

Keep it spotlessly clean. Make it look as pretty and sweet as your limited means will allow. Cook your plain food with all care, and arrange your humble table as tastefully as you possibly can.

If you cannot afford a carpet, let your rooms be carpeted with smiles and welcomes, fastened down with the nails of kind words driven in with the hammer of patience. Such a carpet will not fade in the sun, and constant use will never wear it away.

By so ennobling your present surroundings you will rise above them, and above the need of them, and at the right time you will pass on into the better house and surroundings which have all along been waiting for you, and which you have fitted yourself to occupy.

Perhaps you desire more time for thought and effort, and feel that your hours of labor are too hard and long. Then see to it that you are utilizing to the fullest possible extent what little spare time you have.

It is useless to desire more time, if you are already wasting what little you have; for you would only grow more indolent and indifferent.

-James Allen

 

Let’s find the stars inside us:

You know there are stars inside you and every time you look at yourself and smile with content and thankfulness that you have a sound face, healthy body and a brilliant mind, you give birth to a shining star inside your soul. When you compliment random people on the way to school about how fresh they look and how beautiful they are, another star is born with flying colors. Many children are born with disabilities or mental disorders. My own brother died a day after his birth when doctors claimed that if he somehow manages to survive, he will be a special child. He might be mentally retarded or deaf. My brother died right after a day because he wasn’t able to make it into this world. Doctors also warned my mother that she might not be able to have a normal baby ever again. My mother was devastated but she never gave up. Our willpower and optimism beat the weak obstinacies of life. My mother gave birth to me and later after, she had four more beautiful daughters. We have a perfect family and all the credit goes to my mother. She could have gone into the depression upon this news of not having a normal baby again. She could have given up on trying due to this fear of losing another beautiful baby. It wasn’t easy for her but she did it! Just because she never gave up, she was able to raise us well and good. We never had the slightest hint of any dismay or depression from her side which resulted in a happy family we have today. If we imagine a vice-versa situation, we would be having a depressed mother who fights on and off with our dad thus leading into a terrible atmosphere of our home. Our decisions not only affect ourselves but also the ones we love. We all are beautiful with shining stars of good moral values, uniqueness, happiness, strength and originality within us. Don’t let those sparkling stars fade away into the dark holes of envy, jealousy, imitation, comparisons, torturing yourself with useless predictions, self-shaming, and pessimism. Own yourself and let those stars reflect the inner light of yourself. Remember yourself as a kid; your purity and innocence.

We have long forgotten the stars inside us into the dusty racks of our artificial beliefs and sky-high set of expectations, perfectionism, and fierce obsessions. Stop with what you are trying to be and find who you are. Rediscover the magic you possess and let the cauldron of your true-self, your original identity and self-esteem bubble and bubble and bubble!

 

Here, I found a relatable song as well. Happy reading sugar cakes and don’t forget to love yourself. You are beautiful just the way you are. Just keep this in mind, there are stars inside us. Don’t waste your divinity!

 

Freedom of Expression tag nomination :)

Hello, pink frosting sugar cakes and sparkling glitter cupcakes!

I hope you guys are enjoying a bright day and magical nights as per your time zone. Well, I am just writing this post under this fine cool moonlight that is peeping into my room through the giant window I have right next to me. The weather is amazing and hopefully, that it might rain tonight 🙂

Well, coming towards the topic, I was given a yummy task by one of the most beautiful and talented sugar cake bloggers in my cosy nook whom I love to read. I am so proud to have her with me and you guys should follow her too. Thank you so much sunbae for nominating me for this fun challenge! Shot out to the one and only:

The Rendezvous Club

 

iscriblr_freedom_of_expression.png

So, the task is that I have to write anything about the tag topic that The Rendezvous Club gave me. The topic that I got today is “Restart”. I have to post an article, picture or a poetry about the topic “restart” and at the end, I will nominate any three sugar cakes of mine to write about the topic tag I will give them. Let the fun begin!

I couldn’t sleep the whole last night because I had to write that article of mine Prostitution is a sin but are these prostitutes the real sinners? When I was done with it, the clock was already striking 6 in the morning. I shut down the laptop and lied down on my couch. While curling in the bed, I suddenly got this feeling of sending a hope-message to my creampie friends. So I started typing a morning text to some girls and boys in my contact list who are suffering from minor to chronic depression and thus, being a better human being now, I try to make them feel happy and important on and off by sending them random text messages and motivational images. We are having our summer vacations so hugs and cuddles of comfort are not a choice anymore. Well, if the feelings are pure and intentions are good, text messages are not a bad option as well.
