The Daily Fat: Your Work or My Work?

Don't...

Don't ever tell a person how to do their job.

It's demeaning, degrading, denigrating, disparaging and any other negative word (preferably starting with the de/di- prefix) that ultimately results in insulting the person you are talking to.

Here's why:

1. You know absolutely jack-all about the job scope and requirements. You really don't, so don't pretend like you do.

Just don't tell the electrician (plumber, contractor, gardener, handyman, barista, cashier, etc) that he doesn't know what he's doing and he's a moron. Why? Because you're the moron for hiring an electrician (plumber, contractor, gardener, handyman, barista, cashier, etc).

2. You wouldn't like it if someone told your ass how to do your job. You really wouldn't, so don't pretend like you'd actually act all gracious and accept the "constructive criticism". You'd probably want to punch the person right in the face.

There's nothing worse than a know-it-all. Those were the weirdos we hated in high school and wished they would secretly shut the hell up every time we heard their voice. In Grown-Up World, no one really knows it all, so when you pretend like you do, we all know and accept that you're just a jack-ass who doesn't know his head from his tail.

Take my advice and just don't do it. You don't want to piss people off who are ultimately in charge of things that are important to you (your TV, toilet, home, garden and plants, daily coffee, grocery discount, etc).

And especially don't tell people how to do their job at a restaurant. Waiters spit in food. Yes, they do.

Til the next post.

Peace.

Inspiration: MissChevious from YouTube!

Time and time again, we search for inspiration in others before we look to ourselves.

I say, why not look for inspiration in others? Take their stories and their experiences and use it to help you in your life. If they can overcome, so can you.

Best of all, seeing another's struggle and hearing of their stories just reminds us that we are not alone in this world. And that all we want to accomplish, we can with will power and determination.

MissChevious is one awesome makeup guru on YT. I love her videos and her makeup looks. She's my inspiration in more than one way for sure!







I hope you draw inspiration from her as I do.

Peace lovies.

Make-Up: Kate Middleton's Wedding Look

Kate Middleton's Wedding Make-Up by missdijah on Polyvore.com

When rumors surfaced that the now Duchess of Cambridge would be doing her own make-up, I was hell bent on seeing how it turned out.

Maybe on HDTVs around the world, the blusher looked a bit much and let's just say I'm very happy that the color washed out in photographs.

The products I selected are pretty much conjecture about what she actually used. Since, we're not going to see a list of products from any make-up artist anytime soon, I went with what I saw while watching the Royal Wedding and what I found out from a little internet snooping. 

My leading clue was her blusher. Apparently it was Rose Temptation by Chanel. So my guess was that she probably used all Chanel products. Of course, she could've used anything she wanted and was comfortable with, but why not go Chanel all the way right?

Besides the Rose Temptation blush, I included a matte foundation (Chanel's Mat Lumiere) seeing as her makeup looked flawless without an overly dewy complexion. I had to include the bronzer in there as well. Her cheeks were so beautifully contoured and I applaud her for that. She accentuated her cheekbones beautifully (though, I must point out they don't need much accentuating!). We don't even have to mention the brows. They are gorgeous and strong and such a smart idea for someone who will be seen by millions! Pink lips to complement the pink blush, and of course classic black eyeliner and a grey/blue for her eyelid color. 

Hope that this was entertaining! It certainly was entertaining to put together!

Peace lovies.

Fashion: The Duchess of Cambridge

The Duchess of Cambridge by missdijah featuring a pleated dress

I think if there was a story about a girl who played her cards right, it would definitely be about Kate Middleton. 

Haha. Ok that sounded a tad mean. :P

Anyhoo, the day after wearing two gorgeous and stunning Alexander McQueen dresses, she chose to wear Zara. She is cleverly entering the realm of a people's princess by wearing items that real people would have ready access too. 

I took inspiration from a photograph of her leaving Buckingham Palace wearing a belted pleated Zara dress with a 3/4 sleeve blazer and some rocking wedges. She's bang on trend and she's nailed it with yet another blue dress. 

Peace lovies.

Love it: Drew Barrymore

 

The lovely-as-always Drew Barrymore in J Brand Denim Leggings (why don't people like to use the word jeggings?!) and a Catherine Malandrino leather jacket (I want!).

I seriously want this jacket. And I also seriously want this feather earring trend thing to start in Singapore. Maybe I should find a way to attach it to my hijab. Anyone know where to buy feathers? Spotlight?

Oh and YES to awesome red hair (that is not literally red à la Rihanna). 

Drew rocks my socks. 

C'est finale. 

Til the next post lovies.

Peace.
