NOTE TO SELF: INSPIRING WORDS

I made this compilation of inspiring words, thoughts, and quotes to help

me gain perspective on my life while teaching me to not take things too

seriously.  It will also help me change my focus from the problems

to the solutions, and most of all these inspirational quotes may

give or bring answers to the question that I have been searching

the answers for about how to live my life.

Note To Self

~

If you aren't being treated with love and respect,

check your price tag.  Maybe you're marked yourself

down.  It's you who tells people what you're worth.

Get off the 

CLEARANCE RACK

and get behind the glass where they keep

the 

VALUABLES.

~

The most fabulous people don't have the

best of everything.  The most fabulous

people make the best of everything

they have!

~

Do not take over much thought for

tomorrow.  GOD, who has led you

safely on so far, will lead you on the end.

Be altogether at rest in the loving

holy confidence which you ought

to have in HIS heavenly PROVIDENCE

~

No one is perfect, we all make mistakes.

Despite our failings, we still deserve

respect.  Don't let anyone put your down!

~ 

Nothing in this world can take the place

of persistence.  Talent will not, nothing

is more common than unsuccessful 

people with talent.  Genius will not;

unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.

Education will not; the world is full

of educated derelicts.  Persistence

and determination alone are omnipotent.

The slogan "press on" has solved and

always will solve the problems of

the human race.

~

No matter how badly people treat you,

never drop down to their level,

just know you are better and 

walk away.

~

You'll never change your life until

you change something you do daily.

The secret of your success is found

in your daily routine.

~

I put zero weight into anyone's opinion about me 

because I know exactly who I am.

Can you say the same?

~

I am built to get punched in the mouth.

I'll spit my front tooth out, look right

back at you and be like,

"Now what Bitch?"

~

Do all the good you can

by all means you can,

In all the ways you can,

In all the places you can'

In all the times you can,

To all the people as long as

you ever can.

~

Everything is energy and that's all

there is to it.  Match the frequency 

of the reality you want and you 

cannot help but get the reality.

It can be no other way.  This is

not philosophy.  This is physics.

~

Namaste

My soul honors your soul.

I honor the place in you

where the entire universe resides.

I honor the light, love, truth,

beauty and peace within you,

because it is also within me.

In sharing these things

we are united, we are the same,

we are one.

~

Infuse your life with action.

Don't wait for it to happen.

Make it happen.

Make your own future.

Make your own hope.

Make your own love.

And whatever your beliefs,

honor your Creator,

not by passively waiting

for grace to come down

from upon high, but by doing

what you can to make grace happen...

yourself, right now, right down

here on earth.

~

Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits,

the rebels, the troublemakers,

the roundpegs in the squareholes,

the one who see things differently.

They're not fond of rules.

You can quote them, disagree with them,

glorify or vilify them, but the only thing

you can't do is ignore them, because

they change things and while some see

them as crazy ones, we see genius, because

the one's who are crazy enough to think

that they can change the world are

the one's who do.

PROMISE YOURSELF

The meaning of promise according to Wikipedia is a commitment by someone 

to do or not to do something.  As a noun promise means a declaration assuring

that one will or will not do something.  As a verb it means to commit oneself

by a promise to do or give.  It can also mean a capacity for good, similar

to a value that is to be realized in the near future.

~

So

Don't make a promise you cannot keep

and

don't say something unless you mean it.

~

and

It is much better to promise nothing,

and try & give everything,

than promise everything,

and give nothing at all.

~

for

A promise means everything but

once it is broken, sorry

means nothing.

~

but

I hope this time you will honor your

promise to yourself.

"PROMISE YOURSELF"

To be strong that nothing

can disturb your peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness, and prosperity

to every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel that

there is something in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything

and make your optimism come true.

To think only the best,

to work only for the best,

and to expect only the best.

To be just as enthusiastic about

the success of others as

you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past

and press on to the future.

To wear a cheerful countenance at all times

and give every living creature you

meet a smile.

To give so much time to the improvement

of yourself that you have not time

to criticize others,

to be too large for worry,

too noble for anger,

too strong for fear, and

too happy to permit the 

presence of trouble.

To think well of yourself and 

to proclaim this fact to the world,

not in loud words but

great deeds.

To live in faith that 

the whole world is

on your side as long as

you are true to the best 

that is you!

~

This is the promise I made to myself,

I hope it is yours too!

DITA VON TEESE'S BEAUTY SECRETS

Dita Von Teese is the 'Goddess of Burlesque' and she put burlesque to a new level.  Burlesque is a literary, dramatic or musical work intended to cause laughter by caricaturing the manner or spirit of serious works, or by ludicrous treatment of their subjects.  Burlesque is derives from the Italian word 'burleseo', which in turn is from the Italian 'burla', which means a joke, redicule or mochery.

According to The Los Angeles Times, "the 'Burlesque's Goddess' attention to detail and embellished glitz on stage is unparalleled, even for pops stars.  From the sparkle of each and every Swarovski crystal to the sensual lightning that caresses her slender porcelain frame to the vampy music that sets the mood for the procession of themed vignettes your eye cannot turn away from the utter flawlessness of it all."

Moreover, Face Magazine described that, "the 'Queen of Burlesque' has earned her crown, the righteous heir to performers like Sally Rand, who was famous in the 30's for her naked feather dance.  Dita has taken the tradition, studied it and made it her own."

Dita Von Teese is also famous and well known on her vintage style of fashion, makeup and beauty.  In her book 'Your Beauty Mark', Dita described her beauty secrets and advices.  These are some of her beauty secrets:

Dita Von Teese's Beauty Secrets

"Don't underestimate the cosmetic power of sunglasses.  It's worth spending a bit of money on a quality pair.  I usually go for Dior or Louis Vuitton."

~

"Matte lipstick is really the key to being able to wear it in real life and eat with it, and speak without getting lipstick on your teeth."

~

"If you wear lipstick through the day, I always say you have to wipe it all off and start over rather than reapply it on top of each other otherwise you get the crusty look and it's not pretty."

~

"Glamour is not about how young you are, or how rich you are, how pretty you are, what size you are, what ethnicity you are.  Everyone can become glamorous if they choose to put the time into it, and devote part of their selves to it."

~

"Natural beauty is held in such high regard, whereas what you decide for yourself or what you create is put down.  Whether it's wearing red lipstick or having some kind of procedure, we should all be able to respect each other's choices."

~

In general, it was sort of considered a form of etiquette that you didn't leave the house without your hair done and your face on; I like that part of it.  But there're so many easier ways to get glamorous now.  I think it's the general overall philosophy behind beauty.  You put your best face forward because it's the right thing to do when you leave the house."

~

"My daily beauty routine is really about skin care, a little bit of sunscreen, a sweep of face powder, red lipstick and my hair in a chignon.  I really like simplified looks.  I don't get in full power glamour everyday.  So I think it's good to have a routine that you can do quickly."

~

"I always loved Betty Grable, because I loved that era of film.  I thought her backup casts had great looks such as Carmen Miranda who was always in her films.  I also liked Rita Hayworth.  I like Technocolor, because I wanted to see the vibrant lipstick, the blush and the lashes all in color.  So I loved that 1940's Fox  musical era."

MAKEUP AND WOMAN

Makeup is a subset of cosmetics that refers primarily to products containing color pigments that are intended to alter the user's appearance.

It is meant to be applied externally on the face and eye area with a brush, makeup sponge, or the fingers.

Around 5,000 years ago, ancient Sumerian men and women were the first to wear and probably invented  lipstick.  Sumerian crushed gemstones and used them to decorate their faces, mainly on the lips and around the eyes.

By 3000 BC to 1500 BC, women in ancient Indus Valley Civilization applied red tinted lipstick to their lips for face decoration.

An English excavator discover a 6000 year old relics of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs wearing organic substances to decorate his face.

By the time Cleopatra, the Queen of Egypt came to power in first century BC,  Egyptian women had at their disposal an array of colorful cosmetics, which were made from rocks, minerals and plants found in the Nile region.

Cleopatra used the following materials such as:

~  bright green malachite paste of the ancient Egyptian on her lower eyelids,

~  Kohl used on her eyes as protection and decoration,

~  Castor oil used on her body as protective balm,

~  Beeswax, olive oil and rosewater as her skin cream.

The role of cosmetics continued to evolve over the centuries.

Here are some words that describe Makeup and it's effect to all women:

Makeup should never be used to hide yourself.

It should be used to enhance your natural beauty.

May your foundation match your neck,

Concealer be creaseless,

and winged eyeliner be sharp enough to kill.

Amen!

Makeup is used to highlight your face,

Not to hide it.

Makeup is not a mask.

Makeup is art.

Makeup is passion.

Makeup is expression.

If your sad, add more lipstick and attack!

(Coco Chanel)

On  a bad day there is always lipstick.

Makeup is not a tool meant to make

an ugly thing beautiful.

It is meant only to magnify the beauty

that already exists.

I believe that all women are pretty without makeup

and can be pretty powerful with the right makeup.

(Bobbi Brown)

Makeup is self-confidence applied directly to the face.

I wear makeup only to impress myself and say,

"damn bitch you looking fabulous today."

Yes, I wear makeup.

No, It isn't because I think I'm ugly!

Your makeup should never precede you,

but walk with you.

(Estee Lauder)

Why are you so dolled up?

You're not going to a fashion show.

~

The world is my runway!

Now, if you'll please,

Excuse me.

When you haven't worn makeup in a week

and you put on mascara and you'll like...

Move over Beyoncé...Mama's Back!

That's one of the thing I love about makeup,

You can change your whole attitude by just

doing your eyeliner or lipstick differently.

(Beyoncé)

Whether you are sixteen or over sixty, remember,

understatement is the rule of a fine makeup artist.

The best thing is to look natural,

But

It takes makeup to look natural.

Beauty is power, and makeup is something

that really enhances that;

It's a woman's secret.

Makeup is a way for a woman to look and feel like herself,

only prettier and more confident.

(Bobbi Brown)

Beauty to me is about being comfortable 

in your own skin.

That, or a kick-ass red lipstick.

(Gwyneth Paltrow)

Give a girl the right makeup and she can conquer the world!

Put on some lipstick and pull yourself together.

(Elizabeth Taylor)

Lipstick is really magical.  It holds more than a 

waxy bit of color - it holds the promise of a

brilliant smile, a brilliant day,

both literally and figuratively.

(Roberta Gately - Humanitarian & Writer)

Red lipstick is to beauty what the 

LBD is to fashion.  The difference is that

when you walk into a room wearing a red lip,

that people will notice you.

(Francois Nars.)

Makeup can help you be yourself.

It's not about making you become

a different person -

It's about making you look better.

(Francois Nars)

She has a way with words, red lipstick

and making an entrance.

(Kate Spate)
