Ad Shows The World’s Popular Opinions Of Women Using Search Engine

This campaign from UN Women uses real suggested search terms from Google’s autocomplete feature. Campaign creator Christopher Hunt, head of art for Ogilvy & Mather Dubai, offers this summary: “This campaign uses the world’s most popular search engine (Google) to show how gender inequality is a worldwide problem. The adverts show the results of genuine searches, highlighting popular opinions across the world wide web.” 

At the bottom of each print it says, “actual Google search on 09/03/13.” Google searches in different countries will yield different results, but try putting “women shouldn’t” or “women need” into Google and you’ll see that many of these examples show up in your autocomplete, even in the US. 

Sneezing Etiquette

Hi ~

the weather is getting colder and colder with every passing day, do you know what does that mean ?
here is a little poem to let you guess :

Little Boy Blue, Please Cover Your Nose
by Darren Sardelli

Little Boy Blue,
Please cover your nose.
You sneezed on Miss Muffet
And ruined her clothes.
You sprayed Mother Hubbard,
And now she is sick.
You put out the fire
On Jack’s candlestick.
Your sneeze is the reason
Why Humpty fell down.
You drenched Yankee Doodle
When he came to town.
The blind mice are angry!
The sheep are upset!
From now on use tissues
So no one gets wet! 

flu season ! (a.k.a sneezing season)
poor little boy blue he lost face in front of everyone, sure none of you pretty girls want that to happen to her, right ?

here is some etiquette rules to help you avoid being in his situation:


- when sneezing, be sure that your nose and mouth area is fully covered, preferably with a tissue, but if you don't have one, you can sneeze on your inner elbow.

- after sneezing, don't shake hand with people or touch things, you have to first make sure that you washed your hands with soap first, and if that is not an option use wet wipes (those should never leave your bag).

- If you feel that you are going in a sneezing frenzy, you have to excuse yourself and get out of the room.

- If you sneeze loudly, you have to apologize after sneezing, and if someone else sneezed, make sure to say "bless you" (or its equivalent in your language).

- sometimes people might offer you their handkerchief when you sneeze, never give it to them dirty. you have to take it home, wash it, then give it back to them.

Hope you all stay healthy and beautiful through the cold weather :)

What to do with expired milk ?

The answer is to throw it in the trash, right ? Wrong!
The answer is to use it on your face, According to a trusted Beauty website, expired milk is very good for exfoliating and whitening your skin! Just after two or three days of it's expiration date, the milk  will produce large amounts of lactic acid. All you have to do is add a little bit of warm water, dip your fingers in it, and gently massage the face for a few minutes.
they said it helps remove aging marks (wrinkles/pigmentation/tired look) from your skin, it'll also brighten your face, and helps make it whiter.

personally, I have a very weird/sensitive nose and stomach, when I smell food/cooking I feel very sick like I'll vomit, so I won't be trying this.

what about you ? would you try it ?

Memories in a week: Eid mobarak!

Hello everyone :)

I've been very busy last week because it was Eid (Holiday!!!!!) But I had so much fun, especially that the weather was really nice that week :)

I am so bitter ~

I was going to make a post today (my week in a picture)
but I feel really shattered due to the fact that I can't apply for the scholarship I've been dreaming of getting since 2007 orz

Beauty tip: wash your face with warm water

Always use warm water to wash your face, instead of cold water.

Because cold water causes sudden contraction of the pores (it closes the pores) before you get to remove all the dirt, oil, and cleanser from your face, which can cause pimples and breakouts.

Also don't use hot water to wash your face or it'll make your skin expand causing you early wrinkles.

Review: Tonymoly Latte Art Milk Tea Morning Pack

You know what time it is ? 

It is review time :)

Today I'll review a primer/moisturizer by tonymoly, it is called Tonymoly Latte Art Milk Tea Morning Pack

Product claims: 

This creamy pack type make-up starter is a speedy skin boosting primer with instant moisture veil, hydrating touch and silky finish. It prepares the skin for following steps of make-up with smoothing effect on rough surface. Containing black tea extract, this multi-purpose formula delivers plenty of nourishment and activating elements into skin, leaving the skin amazingly radiant and supple. Also, it makes the skin to be ready for wonderful make-up fit and touch. It includes corn hair tea extract and caffeine to make the lifted face line.

the good thing about tonymoly is that they write their ingredients in English 

Ingredients: (not the whole list)

Caffeine, Tea Mixture, Corn silk extract-cares puffy face from sleeping Tea, fermented pucopia - replenish intense hydration while promoting vita skin cell rejuvenation for softer, younger-looking skin.

Size: 100ml

Packaging: white tube that have a teapot logo on it, and a brown flip open cap (I believe there is a cup type -the old design probably)

Price: $7.77

Skin type: designed for all skin types

How to use: After cleansing, apply adequate amount of the pack, rub for 20 seconds and leave for 10 seconds to absorb.

Texture: it is hard to explain it, it is not runny but it is not thick, it feels like a paste I think ? like silicone or something (I am really bad with describing stuff X(

 

( again I swear that my hands are not that pigmented -I don't deny that it have some uneven tan- but it is not pigmented like this !!)

Pros: 

- 2 in 1, it is a makeup primer and a moisturizer.

- it does hydrates you face, and get rid of flakiness and dry patches.

- makes your look silky and smooth, and it minimize the appearance of pores .

- it is very lightweight and wouldn't clog your pores.

- makes your makeup last longer.

- it gets rid of puffiness.

- I use it on my eyes (and eyelashes) and lips too with no problem.

Cons:

- you need to rub it on your face to spread it (I am a lazy/impatient.. so other people might not have this problem).

Repurchase: yes

Rating: 5/5

Expired cosmetics recycling

while I was browsing in some Chinese website, I came across this post about recycling expired makeup and I thought I would share it with you :)

Original post :

【过期化妆品循环利用】今天我发现我很多小东西过期了不过这也有用处啦：没有颜色的乳液可以用来擦拭皮包；过期的眼影粉末可以混合在指甲油中，做成不一样的甲油；爽肤水可以擦梳妆台和镜子；洁面乳刷鞋子；散粉可以放在衣柜鞋柜除湿气；香水擦灯具；沐浴露洗浴缸；洗发水洗毛衣.

And this it what it says:
(take in mind that I can't speak/read Chinese, and I have to use google translate)

[Expired cosmetics recycling] Today I found a lot of small things expired, but it also can be used in other ways: clear/uncoloured emulsion can be used to wipe the bag(the outside of leather/plastic/or similar materials); expired eye shadow powder can be mixed with nail polish, it'll give a nice effect; Toner can be used to clean dresser and mirror; Cleanser can clean Brushes and  shoes; loose shoe wardrobe can be placed in addition to moisture(I don't understand what she means); perfume can be to rub lamps; shower gel for washing the bathtub; shampoo to wash sweaters.

Memories Memory: Family outing

Umm.. Hi ~

I am really sorry I haven't been posting lately, But if you read my post about University & nightmares, you probably know that I've been so stressed lately (even though everything is going well for, which is weird).. also I've been so busy lately Because my BFF from when I was 5 started talking to me, and I kind of spent my whole time talking o him, until he said he have a crush on me since we were kids, I don't know what I am supposed to do now (any advice/tips would be appreciated)

So, to relax a little bit and forget about all this stuff, my sister suggested we go on a picnic :) 

we wend to Dohat 'Arad, which is park and a natural reserve, and it have the longest walkway in Bahrain (3km), and I proud to say that I walked the whole distance in an hour ^___^   (I stopped halfway to take a toilet/water break)

 this is the beginning of the walkway :)

as I mentioned above, this is a natural reserve, a lot of migrating birds land here to rest, there was also a huge flamingo flock there, but because I was taking pictures with my phone I couldn't capture it (there is no zoom function X(

I was pretending to be a pirate while walking there (for some reason, wooden bridges always remind me of pirates).

even though it is fall now, the sun was still hot (34C/93F), but thanks god there was some cool breeze every now and then.

After successfully finishing the walk, we were heading home..

the sunset was nice today :)

 but instead of going home, we were wandering in the streets.

 then we went to duraz beach, it is a fishing area so swimming is not allowed there.

 the sunset was beautiful there.

 my brother acting like a hero just because he was able to keep his balance on the rock X)

my dad started skipping stones, it is his favourite thing to do on the beach.

I wasn't able to snatch a photo of it, but there was a group of fishes (mullet) jumping around.

 my brother photobombing, and my parents.

 He really likes standing on rocks ^___^

he was pointing to a single star on the sky, asking me what it was, and according to my science teacher in forth grade, this is not a start it is a planet (Jupiter) she said we can be able to see it with naked eye around sunset because it have more than 50 moons, and she said you can tell it is not a start because starts twinkle.

I wonder if it is obvious on other countries, would you like to check and tell me ?

then it got late, and we came back home.

TBH, I do feel better after going out and having fun, and I do feel proud of myself for doing some exercise ^___^

and this time, I am not going to neglect my blog, I pinky promise :3

P.S: please excuse the crappy pictures, Because I used my phone camera.
