Long Summer Braids

It is summer and the heat is rising here in the Mediterranean. I have heard about 3 of my female friends talking about cutting their long beautiful hair just to ease a little bit  of the heat. 

Seriously, after growing it the whole of winter putting a scissors to your head should not even be an option! But that is just my opinion, i do have a special love for long hair and i think it gives a more feminine and sexy look.

Medical conditions due to excessive heat exposure that should be avoided and treated urgently

Dear readers,
We have all been looking forward to the summer and its finally here! :)
 
I live in Nicosia, the capital Cyprus where the weather can reach up to 45°C; and even though i love the heat, such high temperatures are not to be disregarded.

Here is a reminder to do all of those things that we hear every summer... Drink loads of water, apply sunscreen and then apply again! Protect your eyes with shades, wear a hat, wear clothes that will protect from the sun....

Mona Lisa

This is me; calm, standing in the crowd knowing that everything will fall in to place.  

Like dominoes set up to get tipped over you stand unknowingly that the start is the beginning of the end. How is it possible that you do not remember me? You have seen me a thousand times before, and I have looked straight in to your eyes. Still, you call me by a name that is not mine.

I remember the city of Florence and the beautiful summers the seven of us spent running through the wheat harvest. I was just Lisa then, fifteen and the eldest of us all; unknowingly, still so young. Who would have known that between then and now lifetimes would set us apart…

10 Natural Skin Care Tips

10 Natural Skin Care Tips that can speed up the recovery and maintain beautiful skin:

1. Eat vegetable oils, nuts and seeds to get a daily dose of Vitamin E which helps prevent the formation of wrinkles. Vitamin E is also sold over the counter in drug stores and even some hypermarkets in the form of capsules or in the form of oil. Applying Vitamin E oil directly on your skin will speed up the healing of scars and wounds. 

My Isotroin Experience (Accutane or Isotretinoin)

My Isotroin Experience (Accutane or Isotretinoin)

Last October 2011 I had my first doctor’s appointment to get my acne looked at.  At 26 years this was the first time I have had problems with my skin. During my teen years when all my friends were naturally going through breakouts, my skin never gave me any problems besides the one or two spots during the month. Now all of a sudden I was suffering from constant breakouts, persistent spots that would last for months and the fact that my face was always saw to the touch was really tiring me out.

For months before I tried Over The Counter skin care products and when that did not work I tried antibiotics which did not have any noticeable results. This was when I decided to see a dermatologist and find the reason for this 'all of a sudden' change.

Design Ideas - An idea is just an idea until you let it out…

Design Ideas

An idea is just an idea until you let it out…

My University Typography Professor Demetris Kokkinolampos used to explain in our classes that thinking to hard about an idea we have will accumulate stress, creating road blocks.

The best way to get your idea out there is to actually do it! Sketch it, get it on paper, print it, draw it, go, see, do! Once the idea is in front of you, it stops being an idea and becomes reality! 

This is the best time to decide if you should continue, change or reject! Don’t be afraid to criticize your own work and admit that it’s time to move on… No, it’s not a waste of time to have gone through with the first idea even if it was not the wright one. The first ideas becoming reality is probably what will lead you to the next step. 

We learn from our process the same way we learn from our mistakes!
