E-CACHRA

Hello everyone,
I am sorry I haven't been posting anything for the past few weeks , I've been very busy with university since it is the last weeks now.. well, I need your support with my project, me and my team have worked very hard for it and we would really appreciate it if you helped us (we'll get extra marks if we win).

This is the link : http://www.ripplesofhappiness.com/en/teams/name/e-cachra/9?team_id=9

if anyone of you is curious about what is he/she is voting for, our project is called e-cachra (in our slang it means broken/useless thing), we are trying to raise awareness of the dangers of electronic waste, how harmful this stuff for environment and humans, currently in Bahrain they bury it underground, which is wrong because electronics contains a lot of toxic stuff like lead, arsenic, cobalt, mercury and a lot of other things.
right now we are raising awareness about e-waste, but if we won the competition we will get a sponsor who will build an electronic waste recycling center :)

please help us ^___^

What does your makeup say about you ?


Looks controls most of our thoughts/first impression of other people. What are they wearing? Accessories? colours ? even makeup. All of these are ways of showing how do you think about yourself, and the importance of others for you. and what do you want them to think about you.

Makeup changes people impression about your personality, at least that what the recent study on PLOS website says.
The study was carried on by passing photos of the models on the recipients, on some photos the model won't be wearing makeup, while on others she'll be wearing makeup, varying from barely there to party makeup.
Studies showed that wearing makeup changes the way people see/judge a person.

For example: a model wearing light/natural makeup makes you think that she is confident and loved and it also makes her more attractive. And studies says that the more attractive and impressing the person is, the more confidence he is, which leads to success in work and life.
The more Daring a woman is in wearing her makeup, the more confidence and couragous vibes she gives.
Also studies have shown that the more makeup you wear, the more people will start thinking that you lean toward being irresponsible self-centered person. sometimes showy or have low self-esteem.

Contrary to what was expected, the study showed negative results for women with no makeup, as it gave impression that she doesn't take care pf herself, pale, and a somewhat depressed, like there is something on her mind that is overstraining and fatiguing her. And maybe she is not hard working in her job, and doesn't care what other people think about her and her social presence.

Studies also shown that there is a huge impact for lipstick on what people think about you. The more obvious/bold it is, it gives an impression of more confidence and that you are strong enough to try new stuff and success in doing what you want. also the study shown that wearing lipstick have a good impact on the people surrounding you.

Finally, Everything in balance gives a good impression for others. All you have to do is find the colours that match you and express your personality and accent your features, Because that leaves a good impression on the people around you :)  

Wish you good like with your makeup today!
