A MODEL AT 83!!! (Carmel Dell' Orefice)    I was amazed at the tale of this beauty . She is what I like to term ' a beauty icon' because, having gone through her story, I found out that in her many years on earth, she has gone through extreme hardship, heartbreaks, emotional distress, trauma and a whole lot. Those experiences were not enough to break her yet, rather, she has broken the expectations of ageing and beauty. It is commonly said that beauty fades but lo, this beauty thrives as the length of time. At 83, a model, still standing tall is spectacular and should be celebrated.    Her advice for models out there : 'The smartest, with a good education and some good moral support from family and mentors, will not fall into booby-traps.' Words from her: 'If you don’t like watery spinach learn to braise it yourself or eat it raw,' . 'That is the creativity of living.' “ If I die,” she declares, “it will be with my high heels on.” ...

'The quality of our lives are based on what we think'. We are a reflection of our daily thoughts, so I ask, what do you think? What do you even think of yourself, your future or those around? 'As man thinks in his heart, so is he'. Enough of the negative thoughts and on with the positive... Whatever is true, pure, holy, edifying and BEAUTIFUL are what you should think upon. I think you are beautiful, so are you!

IF I WERE A FLOWER Walking past the beautiful flowers... Surrounded by beauty for the eyes to behold... Taking in the pure air that makes all feel right... Closing my eyes to get a clear inner picture of the creations that surround me... I let out a smile that comes from within, I want to have them close to me, I thought. Everything feels right, it just does. The beautiful colours of the flowers, How the birds rejoice at the sight of these beauties. The leaves, they swing to the whispers of the gentle breeze... If I were a flower, a beautiful one Rising in the morning at the call of the sun Responding to the invitation of the coolness of the dew Dancing to the sweet melodies from the birds Beautiful to behold, as the Cedar of Lebanon Sweet scents like the olive tree, capturing the spirit of man... To be continued...

SMILE; A long-term tested and trusted secret of being and staying really beautiful. Note that, it has to be genuine. And a genuine smile comes from a genuine heart. So, being beautiful starts from the heart, be careful what you think, how you feel and how you react to how you feel. Stay beautiful!

... 5. Simplicity Is Best: Staying simple is usually the best way to go. This goes for both makeup and wardrobe items. When in doubt, keep the accessories to a minimum and use timeless, classic fashion styles, such as a black dress with red pumps. When wearing makeup, you should use only enough to highlight the best features of your face; cheekbones, lips, or eyes, for example. 6. Don’t Break the Bank: You don’t have to buy the most expensive items to be fashionable. Less expensive items can work just as well, especially if they play toward your strengths. 7. Take Note of Fashion Trends: You should keep your eyes on the latest fashion trends. That said, you should only adopt those styles that match their body type and personality. If the latest fashions do not look good on you and accentuate your strong points, it doesn’t matter if those fashions are in style or not. Read magazines such as Allure, ELLE, and Fashion Magazine to keep up on the latest styles. This allows you to keep up ...
