° GET READY...°

I've been browsing some days ago and found a lot great tips which not all of us know. It follows that I came up with the great idea I let you know about them. With a few tips and tricks you don't have to be a professional to look fabulous.You don't have to spend hours doing it,either... It's easy,simple and clever.

• Bags under your eyes?

• Homemade dry shampoo

• How to get rid of split ends
  If you twist your hair, the frayed ends will stick out.

• Repurposed plastic spoon 
  Use a plastic spoon to easily apply mascara on your bottom lashes without getting any on the skin under your eyes.
  
• Scotch Tape Eye Stencil 
  This unconventional beauty aid will help guide you when applying eye liner and shadows, especially if you’re going for a more daring look such as the “cat eye”. It will also help you achieve an even and balanced look for both eyes.
  
• Lipstick ready
  Use a baby toothbrush to exfoliate your lips. To really get the job done, you can make a homemade lip exfoliate with sugar and coconut oil, or easier but not as effective, cover your lips in lip balm or petroleum jelly before scrubbing.
  
• Business card trick
  When applying mascara, hold a business card behind your lashes and apply it in a back and forth motion starting at the roots. You can really put it on this way, coating every lash fast! 
  
• Make it last
  Keep those lips kissable by sealing the deal. After your lipstick is applied, hold a tissue over your lips and apply powder over the tissue. This creates a matte look that lasts much longer.
  
  
  
  
  
  

I hope you all enjoyed my post, and can use the clever tricks, please feedback if you've tried any of them. :)

~GIRL POWER~

The world is full of inspiring people , but we must to listen to them. They aren't superheroes like Superman , they are also ordinary people who fight for what they believe , and inspire others.

The first girl on my list is : Malala Yousafzai.

    Malala is a young Pakistani girl. She is a human rights activist who fights for the right of girls education. At age 17 , Malala is the youngest-ever Nobel Prize laureate. She was announced as the co-recipient of the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize for her struggle against the suppression of children and young people and for the right of all children to education. 
No small achievement , isn't it ? 

The second lady is : Cassey Ho.

   Cassey can not be unknown to the enthusiastic Youtube viewers who are dieting. The Los Angeles-born girl is the owner of the popular blog and youtube channel , called Blogilates , and she is the creator of POP Pilates. Cassey with her videos and tips trying to help with the campaign of the gurls.
Moreover she recently published her book , titled Hot Body Year Round.

And the third and the last lady is none other than: Phoebe Dykstra.

You may not have heard about it , and the reason is because you are not Canadian. She is a host for a Canadian music chanel. 
At first glance perhaps not she is the type of a role model , but for me as a beginner vegeterian it was a positive experience to found someone who is so funny , so cool , and vegetarian as I want it to be.

Thank you guys for reading my post,

°BEFORE MARTHA GRAHAM°

As I promised three weeks ago, the main topic is still the history of modern dance.

,,Free dance" the beginnings

At the end of the XIXst century there were lots of problems in the society. People started to riot and everything which was usual became too old, and workaday.
The artist world also became disillusioned and they wanted something new. The artists also started to riot and they worked by their own visualizations. In contrast with the classical art of the period, there were radical changes. Just like in dance.

They were against all the rules and also judged the ,,tenseness,, of classical ballet, and also the clothes and ballet shoes.

They wanted to impress themselves more and more so they started improvisations.
The changing started off from America and slowly spreaded in whole Europe.
This running resulted new schools and wings which are big milestones in the today's moderndance.
Important and big dancers of the period are Loie Fuller, Isadora Duncen and Ruth St Denis.

~BEFORE I DIE~

Hi everyone , sorry I couldn't post it up last week , but unfortunately there was a little problem with my Internet provider...


    I think everybody saw Rob Reiner's American comedy-drama film , The Bucket List. The main plot follows two terminally ill men on their road trip with a wish list of things to do before they kick the bucket.

    I think this list thing is very inspiring. I have been writing my small list of the places where I want to go once , the things what I want to try before I die. First seen it may be daydreaming , but I think it might stimulate us , even if you're a student and you're studying or even if you're working. Because of the list you want to perform better and reach all your goals.
However I think on your list theres shouldn't be world savior things ( altough create world peace would be pretty cool ).

    All I can say to dream big , be creative and start your list today ;)


Here are a few things that can be found on my list as well :

Thank you for reading :)

°°THE MOTHER OF MODERN DANCE°°

,,Great dancers are not great because of their technique, they are great because of their passion." 

This quote is from Martha Graham who we usually hear as the Picasso of dance.

          

           She was born in 1894 in Pittsburgh.  She began her studies in Los Angeles in Denishawn School of Dancing and Related Arts. She not only created a big part of Modern Ballet but also established the biggest dance academy ever, The School of Contemporary Dance around 1920. For first time they didn't let her dance because she was too short for dance(I find it weird). Then after a long time she got a role which meant the start of her career in a team. She left this place after a short time because she didn't want to dance this ,,lie of art,,. Her ideas were much different from the classical ballet. Martha started use the floor and she danced barefoot.       
       The technique of hers was a really big novelty for the world of dance. She created a rule of right breathing, new charming movements, easy figures and the Graham-technique. 
          Approximately she has created 150 choreographes from which the most famous is the Appalachian Spring. 

Little about the Graham-technique

       
         The main thing in this technique is the work on the floor. She was the first who started warm up on floor, because her conception was to warm up the ,,centre of the body,, the back bone for the first time and the limbs will be ready for the dance effortless. Graham also made an own ,,dictionary of dance,, about her new figures and techniques with a lot of new and unknown words.

       

Concentration        

With the Graham-t
echnique

         

Next time I will write about more great dancers who gave something awesome to modern ballet. 

Thank you,
Szabina :)
