The perfect New Year 2016

The perfect New Year

Make your decisions count. 

Another year is over and it is almost New Year. New Year, new begging and a closer step towards what you want. Don't look back and don't let things in the past get you stuck or block your way. Take each day as a new opportunity. Put things that you actually want in action and remember that each day, that is wasted, is not coming back.

Dream 

Build a dream into a realistic clear plan. Life is always moving forward, you need to move with it. Put effort and energy into that dream.

Stop taking short cuts 

Stop taking the short cut toward things that you always wanted. Instead work hard and get it.

HOPE FOR THE BEST.

Stop feeling sorry for your self.

Stop lying to your self and find out who you really are.

Travel the world and experience beautiful places, broaden your horizon.

Take care of your health. Eat healthy and live healthy lifestyle.

Take care of your mind and take a moment to relax.

Take care of your soul, the spiritual part of humans.

Be cool, be happy and always find a reason to smile. Be confident in your life.

Be nice to others and be kind, help them if they need it and see the good in them. Treat people the way you would like to be treated.

Love is one of the most profound emotions known to human beings.

Wish you all a very happy New Year.

With love

Healthy Hair

Healthy Hair

Healthy beauty 

As I mentioned before in one of my earlier posts you should sometimes do a home made hair treatment as well as going for hair treatments at the beauty salon.

There are certain foods that help to keep our hair healthy -  as I am sure you know then health living has an effect on our skin, hair, health etc.

So  here are a few tips of what you can add to your diet to boost your hair.

Food for your hair

I love eating Salmon, it is a great tasty fish full of many nutrition. Salmon helps having a shiny hair as it is packed with omega 3 fatty acids which also supports hair growth. 

Dark green leafy

Dark green leafy vegetables (such as spinach) are full of amazing nutrients. It has tons of vitamin A and also iron.  Specifically iron is very important for our hair as it helps you having a healthy scalp and keeps your hair moisturized. Anther good example of a leafy vegetable that is great for your hair is kale.

 Eggs

If you don't get enough of protein you can experience hair loss. As hair is made of protein, you should ensure that you get enough protein in your diet which also contain Biotin that helps with hair grow. You can get your protein from eggs, chicken, turkey, and fish - but avoid to much of red meat.

Cinnamon

 
I normally sprinkle cinnamon on oatmeal for my breakfast and some honey. It helps with blood flow.

Sweet potatoes

  

Sweet potatoes contain carotene that our body convert into vitamin A - it helps to protect against dry hair.

It is also about "inside" health, eat a balanced diet of vitamins and minerals to keep your hair looking healthy and beautiful.   

Christmas Fun

Christmas Fun

I had so much fun in this magical chritmas time with my friends and my family.

I think what is really special about Christmas is that it is about spending time with people that are close to your heart, someone that you want to share this memory and beautiful moment with.

Last year I was back in Denmark and we had a white Christmas. It was great to be there with my Danish family and my lovely sweet husband , but this year we celebrated Christmas in Dubai for 3days in a row woooooooooo hooooooooooo.

First day for me was on the 23rd where I cooked Christmas dinner. I made turkey which I started cooking at 11am to make sure that the meat was nice and juicy and not dry, with roasted potatoes, roasted vegetables, stir-fry vegetables also, and with gravy and salad on the side. I had the kids over and my friends Alicja, Riaan (her husband) and their 3month old Mila as well as my best friend Yvonne. 

After we had dinner and some lovely wine, we did a traditional ris allemande, its a dessert with rice, milk and cream. Tradition says that the ris allemande has one whole almond inside and everyone needs to keep eating until someone find the almond and win a gift. Towards the end of the evening we opened Christmas presents also.

On the 24th evening we were invited to my friend Alicja for a traditional Polish Christmas dinner. The food was really tasty and I think she is a really great cook. We enjoyed the evening and everyones company.

On the 25th we went out for Christmas  brunch at Zuma with some of our other friends, including the owner of MPDS where I train and attend pole fitness classes.

The atmosphere was great, we had lots of laughter and delicious food - I love Zuma. It is one of my favourite Japanese restaurants.

I was exited wearing my new shoes from one of my favourites shoe designers Giuseppe Zanotti, and a bebe pinkish dress, natural makeup and straight Hair for my day time glam.

After the brunch went to my Romania best friend's house and met all my other friends there - it was awesome. All in all I had a great Christmas celebration.

My hair tips

Being a model they are always styling my hair and always using heat. Making my hair curly, straight, etc. Using lots of hair spray, and teasing my hair to change my look during the shoot. Trying to brush my hair after a day of shooting is a disaster and a headache. So I try and maintain my hair as much as possible when I am not working.

First of all I get hair treatment professionally done by my favourite hair dresser Ebrahim Alsoleman either at home or I visit him in the salon at Baseline in Central hotel.

He recommended me a great hair treatment that I am really happy with named Sebastian Penetraitt - it is a repair masque and helps against damaging.

He actually visited me this morning and did my hair treatment and now my hair is soft and shinny again - yay - after having my last show with Joelle Mardinian at Dubai International Jewellery Show. 

I also do home made treatments from time to time to give it an extra boost.

Tip1: 

Buy organic coconut oil, avocado oil and castor oil - mix all of them together and leave in your hair for 40 minutes.

caster oil.

Tip2:

Greek yoghurt treatment, mix with a T-spon of honey and a drop of lime juice and apply all over you hair for a good 30 minutes - then wash. Greek yoghurt is packed with protein. 

I will be posting more tips for nice healthy hair soon. Enjoy and please leave a comment. 

    

Anti-ageing food for your skin

  Anti-ageing food for your skin

Antioxidants play a big role in the human health, as we all know, it flushes out the toxins from the body and keeps it clean. In addition it has a big effect in slowing down the ageing process. 

Food that I eat 

I like eating healthy food and I enjoy the taste of it.

Eating healthy is easier said than done, some time I can't avoid unhealthy food when I am out. I love enjoying life, so from time to time I will eat unhealthy, but I make it up always by getting back on track.

Here are some of the things that I love eating, and which I add to my diet. It helps my skin to look young and healthy.

Berries 

All kind of berries. Like strawberries, blueberries blackberries, and raspberries. 

They are good sources of antioxidants, which aid in protecting my skin and body from natural ageing.

Avocado 

Avocados are the best anti-ageing food, as they contain significant amounts of vitamin (E) which prevents ageing and create a healthy glowing skin.

Furthermore avocado contains mono-saturatcd fats that help to decrease the bad cholesterol and lowers the toxin level in your body. I also sometimes use it as a facial mask.

Broccoli

Broccoli and broccoli sprouts are rich in antioxidants. Helps in dealing with the damaged free radicals in our body.

   

Cruciferous vegetables 

Cruciferous vegetables in general are rich in fiber and vitamins.

They help to combat cancer and toxin. Additionally they are rich in vitamin (C) which rejuvenates collagen and elastin.

Garlic 

I avoid as much as possible eating garlic. It taste amazingly good although it smells very badly, especially if you are on a night out. That said, I use it in cooking where it adds a great flavour to the food and little of it doesn't hurt anyway.

Garlic is a useful herb because it eliminates heavy metals from the body.

  

Nuts 

I love eating nuts, either adding it to my morning yoghurt or as a snack, but I always eat the natural ones - not the ones that are salted or roasted.

They contain a good amount of minerals, good fats, and antioxidant. They boosts up your immune system too.

Green tea 

Green tea is a great anti-aging drink, which is rich in tannic acid and aids in maintaining alluring healthy skin. 

If you drink around 5 cups per day it also improves your weight. 

Spinach 

Spinach is rich in lutein,  it helps with your skin hydration and gradually gives glowing skin,  making you appeal young and pretty.

Watermelon

Watermelons are really effective anti-aging food as they have many nutritions like zinc, essentials fats, selenium, vitamin E, C and A. 

And they do taste really good too. 

Water

If you don't love drinking water, please love it now.

I myself forget to drink water sometimes and its  not a good habit - but I try to remember as much as possible.

You must keep your skin hydrated always.

Water helps to eliminate unwanted waste and toxin.

Wines 

Great news for wine lovers, I love drinking wine myself - my favourite is white wine.

Wine contains catechin and preservatives that also helps with anti-aging.
