The Equation To Happiness.

                           The Equation To Happiness. 


                                                      Four Simple Ingredients:
  • Our body needs nutrients.

            Some off these brands do have parent companies that test on animals. 

Facts About Animal Testing: 

  1. Over 100 million animals are burned, crippled, poisoned, and abused in US labs every year.
  2. 92% of experimental drugs that are safe and effective in animals fail in human clinical trials because they are too dangerous or don’t work.
  3. Labs that use mice, rats, birds, reptiles and amphibians are exempted from the minimal protections under the Animal Welfare Act (AWA).
  4. Up to 90% of animals used in U.S. labs are not counted in the official statistics of animals tested. Take a stand by kidnapping your friends’ products that were tested on animals (seriously!). Sign up for Kidnapped Cosmetics.
  5. Europe, the world’s largest cosmetic market, Israel and India have already banned animal testing for cosmetics, and the sale or import of newly animal-tested beauty products.
  6. Even animals that are protected under the AWA can be abused and tortured. And the law doesn’t require the use of valid alternatives to animals, even if they are available.
  7. According to the Humane Society, registration of a single pesticide requires more than 50 experiments and the use of as many as 12,000 animals.
  8. In tests of potential carcinogens, subjects are given a substance every day for 2 years. Others tests involve killing pregnant animals and testing their fetuses.
  9. The real-life applications for some of the tested substances are as trivial as an “improved” laundry detergent, new eye shadow, or copycat drugs to replace a profitable pharmaceutical whose patent expired.
  10. Alternative tests achieve one or more of the “3 R’s:” replaces a procedure that uses animals with a procedure that doesn’t, reduces the number of animals used in a procedure, refines a procedure to alleviate or minimize potential animal pain.
  11. Several cosmetic tests commonly performed on mice, rats, rabbits, and guinea pigs include: skin and eye irritation tests where chemicals are rubbed on shaved skin or dripped into the eyes without any pain relief.

Wardrobe Essentials.

                                Wardrobe Essentials. 

My Top 10 Wardrobe Essentials. 

Wardrobe basics can really make an outfit and in my opinion they are essential. They might be boring to buy but when you have a see-through white dress you will be thankful for a white tank top and pants.
  
1) Bras- white 
              Black 
              Nude 
              A bra with detachable straps so it can be strapless or only have one strap. 
            
2) Tank tops- White 
                       Black 
                       Nude 

3)Skinny Jeans- Black 
                          Dark Blue 
                          Ripped Jeans

4)Baggy Tops- White 
                          Black 
                          Gray 
                           Stripped 

5)Leather Jacket- Black 

6)Leggings- Black 

7)Over sized jumper- Black 
                                    Dark colours 

8)Fitted Dress- A patterned skater dress is a perfect all year round piece. 

9)Blazer- Black 
                 White

10)Plaid Shirt- Must Be Soft ! 


Hopefully with these items you will find it easier to put simple chic outfits together for example, black skinny jeans,stripy t- shirt and leather jacket. Just like that you can through together an outfit that makes you look casual but put together.

Fashion Trends 2016.

                                           Fashion.

Fashion Trends 2016. 

  It's been a crazy few weeks of fashion dominating the media. The spring collections walked the runway and designers showcased their latest designs. Even though every show is different, some trends have been seen across numerous runways so if you like to feel fresh of the catwalk take a look at some of the spring 2016 trends that I feel anyone can rock. 

1. Gardens Of Eden:

  Forget nautical prints, find inspiration from your garden. Many collections this season incorporated beautiful flowery prints from Christopher Kane to OSMAN. 
 




2. Let's Ruffle It Up. 

  This spring wear your prettiest frilliest shirts and skirts as ruffles have been seen all over the runway from designers like Marc Jacobs at New York Fashion Week to Alexanda McQueen at London Fashion Week. 


3. It's time we Split up. 

  . Instead of midi skirts it's all about slits to add an elegant feel to an outfit. Topshop was seen to embrace this trend.  

4. Collars Stole The Show. 

   Another trend this spring is big, bright collars. Brands like Burberry and Erdem showcased collars with jackets and bright colours. 


5. Shoes. 

  This seasons purchase trainers, cut out shoes and gladiator flats. Oh and don't forget the point. 

 Those were some of the 2016 Spring Runway Trends. Think elegance this Spring!
