bias-ED

holla girls,i've always wondered why some girls have guys swarming over them and melting on their knees.some even have their eyes stick to these girls like super glue!nah ah sisters,i ain't talkin bout supermodels.i'm talkin bout the girls that aren't that well endowed with beauty(polite enuf?hehe)
so ladies,reach out that notepad and take down these important tips on
HOW TO INCREASE YOUR PICK-UP FACTOR:

1)DRESS UP

Physical attributes aside,guys notice when you look good and most importantly appear confident!taking the effort to dress up will also boost your self-esteem.

asha's warning:appearing confident is feeling good about yourself and knowing that you are good and independant.not appearing snooty,holding heads up high and looking so self-absorbed.

2)RELATE TO HIM

Talk about something you have in common and be open to his ideas.Nice girls don't always finish last.If you're boring the first five mins,dream on to have him still hanging around.

asha's warning:talkin about a topic which you know nuts off like politics and pretend you know it will only make you look like a fool.if he has an interest which you have no knowledge off,say something like "wow!i really didn't realise i've been missing out soo much!i admire the knowledge you have!"
stroke his ego,he won't notice how you suck at that topic.

3)PLAY A LITTLE HARD TO GET

Guys like that bit of mystery.glance over to express interest.walk up to chat if you're feeling sure he's returning the interest but never make yourself to available.

asha's warning:to hard to get is also a huge turn off.he either think you are outa his league or that "you think you're soo pretty?i can get a better babe".not a nice thought rite?guys don't expect us to fall on their feet, it needs a little bit of chasing involved.




ASHA'a ULTIMATE WEAPON:
THA KILLER SMILE!
hell yea girls,the power of a sincere smile can make worlds turn.
maintain subtle eye contact,walk a little front from him,just as when your passing him by,turn your head ever soo slightly resting you chin softly on your shoulders,and smile alluringly!thats definitely gettin him thinkin of you the whole night!

outshine with your personality.everyones different.we ain't cookie cutter girls.so leave that sweet cute pesona far3 away when you step out the house and just be yourself!

1)WASH UP PROPERLY

The importance of cleansing cannot be emphasised enough.
it removes impurities,dead skin cells from the skin's surface,encouraging a more radiant appearance.Use a cleanser that best suits your skin condition.lather and massage your face gently in circular motions before rinsing off with warm water.

2)PREP YOUR SKIN

Don't forgot this step cus toning removes the last traces of grime left on your skin.
having skin thats slightly moist also allows for better penetration of the moisturizer that follows and reduces the amount of product required.Apply toner to a cotton pad and pat it over your face with upward strokes,avoiding the eye area.

3)SLATHER ON THE MOISTURIZER

Replenish the moisture loss caused by uv rays,air conditioning and pollution.Place four small dots of moisturizer on your face(one on the forehead,one on chin and one each on the cheeks)Then using your fingertips,massage the moisturizer evenly all over your toned face to lock in maximum moisture.A day moisturizer should also contain SPF protection if you're skipping a seperate sunscreen.

4)EXFOLIATE AND PAMPER YOUR SKIN
Exfoliation reveals a new layer of skin and makes your complexion glow!A gentle scrub should contain fine granules that don't aggravate or dry out skin.
Follow this with a mask.Clay and mud masks detoxify skin while sheet masks are usually deeply hydrating or for whitening purposes.Do this once a week for a clear radiant complexion.


ASHA's ULTIMATE BEAUTY TIP:
always remove your makeup using a makeup remover.to remove the gunk in your eyes,op for a seperate eye makeup remover as the skin around your eyes are more delicate.

yes darla,gray is this seasons hautest hue.but that doesn't make it necesarilly easy to carry it off.asha shows you how:


1)Add shine to gray. Either choose gray pieces with hints of metallic thread or
sequins, or layer with a sequin or satin piece.

2)For the most sophisticated look, pair gray with black or white. Or wear various shades of gray, layering dove gray and charcoal together.

3)Add interest to gray with color. Jewel tones -- ruby, purple, cobalt -- all look rich with gray.

4)Many women find the best way to wear gray is as a jacket or bottom, using color (in the form of a blouse or shell) up close to the face for flattery.
Look for gray pieces cut in feminine and contemporary -- not boring basic -- pieces. Swing jackets, a pair of wide-legged trousers or a sexy satin minidress all work great in gray.

5)Use accessories to add color and texture to gray.
Look for pretty jewel-tone bags or shoes. Exotic skins -- especially snakeskin or faux snake -- in black or black and white look great with gray.

betcha ya girls are ready to look haute,haute,haute! this fall/winter season.hey girls,it might not be snowing in s'pore and leather trenchcoats might be too over the top.but we certainly ain't gonna mist out the uber-cool trends!


lotsa love,
asha (your ice,ice baby!yeah!)

LUSTROUS SHINY HAIR=CLEAN,HEALTHY LOCKS

HAIRY FACTS

1)HAIR NEEDS PROPER SHAMPOOING
*Apply shampoo and gently massgae scalp for 5 mins with the ball of your fingers to relax and stimulate blood circulation.
never scrape your scalp with your fingernails or use hot water to wash your hair cus it will damage the scalp and hair cuticles.

2)HAIR NEEDS CONDITIONING
*Conditioner is needed to detangle tresses and coat and protect hair.even oily hair could do with sheer conditioning to prevent frizziness.
for a DIY deep conditioning session,apply conditioner after shampooing and massage evenly,paying special attention to the ends.wrap a towel over your hair for 3 to 5 mins before rinsing it of thoroughly.

3)HAIR NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED
*A weekly hair mask is the remedy for damaged hair.most hair masks are intensely hydrating and fortified with more vitamins and minerals to strengthen and restore your tresses.use purifying hair masks to nourish oilier and combination hair types.distribute generous amounts from scalp to ends before rinsing and you'll see glossy,super-manageable hair in minutes!

[this could finally be the end of your mans/friend's disastrous fashion crimes!]

*i've gathered what you would say,the basic staples or the must-haves in a man's wadrobe plus alil extras which i've considered the need for some recognition.minor small stuff are usually neglected but they actually play a huge part in making a n outfit work.so feast ladies,and the dudes out dere!!!

1)WATCH
*BRIGHT VIBRANT PERSONALITY WATCH
Any colour.yellow,green,orange,purple or even fuschia.find one that suits you most and most importantly screams "you!!!"
i personally love the variety from levi's and adidas.far east plaza also offers a wide range of affordable yet creative and unique peices.
*FORMAL WATCH
You're gonna need this for important events like work meetings,or even going out on a date.no matter what,this watch is versatile.anyway,a man with a good watch,may well be aware of his surroundings.hey,first impressions DO count ok!

ASHA SAYS:"When i look at a guy that's not wearin a watch,the first thought is that he is sloppy and disorganized..."

2)SHOES
Nowadays,guys have a wide range of shoes to choose from.if you're stuck
just follow
ASHA's IDIOT PROOF GUIDE
*Don't underestimate those canvas school sneakers.they're cool.they're oldschool.and i like guys like that.:)
get a pair in a neutral shade like beige or grey.for starters this is a good investment and you can pair it up with almost anything.as you garner your confidence and your self esteem grows,venture and be adventurous in gettin new pairs of wicked stylish shoes,like those patent shoes from river island and collage.

3)FASHIONABLE TEES
Fashionable does not only mean topman or zara.oh yeah,they have a variety of great clothes but not all will suit you,and if every guy on the street gets their clothes from only topman...it look more like a factory tee instead.plus $40 for a cotton tee that will go outa shape afta a couple of runs in the washin machine ain't tat worth it at all.
FASHIONABLE DOES NOT MEAN EXPENSIVE.
ASHA's RULE:FASHIONABLE MEANS BEING ABLE TO CARRY A PEICE OF CLOTHING WELL AND EXUDE AN AURA OF SELF-ASSURANCE AND CONFIDENCE WITHIN ONESELF.

so it doesn't matter if your tee is $5 or $501
geddit?

WHATS IN:T-shirt that speks volumeswith tongue-in-cheek on teen angst slogans,trendy skull motifs or street-cred graffiti.

4)JEANS
Every guy needs a good old pair of jeans.find one that makes you feel comfortbale too.finding one's thats stylish but gives your balls a difficult time to breath is killing yourself.skinny jeans are in,but best forgotten if you have to big a butt.light coloured jeans are a little laidback compared to dark coloured jeans.but it can be made trendy if you know how to.

5)KHAKIS
This is a must have seriously.these are worn on the days you can't be bothered or just plain lazy to dress up.it can go with your tees,polo tees,long-sleeves,jackets...everything!and you'd be able to pull it off like a pro!

6)TRUCKER CAP
Compared to a normal cap,this peice has a more unique cut,very school boyish look.simple yet stylish.great for bad hair days(YES,GUYS GO THROUGH IT TOO!)or when you run out of wax!

7)ACCESORIES
Yes.its new age darl.it ain't 18th century.it is ok to have chains,bangles,wristcuffs,rings...i esp love the collection from river island.Accesories will give you an individual look.make you appear more interesting,and girls will definitely know that you care about your looks.which is something positive:)

8)BAG
This ultimately up to your taste and how big a bag do you want it to be.vintage bags are in.so are traffic-stopping coloured bags.you could really source some good buys from haji lane and certain flea markets.new urban male has a variety of hip and trendy bags for guys too.

9)JERSEYS/WOOL VESTS AND TAILORED CUT SHIRTS
This staples come in handy for dates,formal/family gatherings or when you just want a polished look.not many guys op for this look.but this look rocks me till my toes!just look at the male models from GAP!and living proof, adam broody!
NERDY IS COOL.HANDS DOWN!

10)WAX/GLOSS SPRAY
Some guys swear upon wax.for this category,i'd recommend GATSBY MOVING RUBBER or LOREAL TECHNI-ART.but on the other hand,certain guys like my b.f ditches wax because of how it leaves your hair in an unhealthy state.wearing wax in long periods of time results your hair in being dry,coarse and more prone to frizzy hair and split ends.
in that case,i have the perfect solution for you guys.op for a leave on conditioner from sunsilk/dove.cheap,only cost you about 2 bucks and you can get it from watsons or guardian.it not only holds your hair in place.it protects from harmful uv rays,moisturise it,heals the roote and keep your hair smellin fresh and great.or you could op for a water based gloss spray like those from beauty taboo/asience essence water.


so ladies,i certainly hope that these tips will help in your mission of revamping and thrashin your mens wadrobe!just one tip.never throw their old tees.only they know when it goes out of season:)
guys,these are only the basics you must have in your wadrobe.once you have more confidence,venture out and experiment.you'd soon find out how bold and statement- making men's fashion can be!



love,
asha
