MAKEUP | THE WET SUMMER LOOK! HAIR & MAKEUP TUTORIAL

Hi my Inside-Out Beauties !

Today I finally got to upload this video makeup tutorial  that I actually filmed 2 weeks ago!!!
You know what they say "time flies" "so little time, so much to do", etc etc etc.
I have my share of excuses, but the important thing is it's here!  Yaaaay!

The idea behind this hair and makeup tutorial, was to inspire you to try a new look that would resemble someone right out of the ocean or a swimming pool (but in the movies only, because it's unlikely that in real life you would still have this much makeup on after going for a swim).

Anyways,  after giving it some thought I named it "THE WET LOOK"!
It's shimmery, "glowy" and perfect for summertime :)

Before we jump into the video makeup tutorial, let me quickly list you the products I've used, and that you'll need if you want to try this WET LOOK yourself.

INNER BEAUTY | WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER BE AFRAID !

Hi my Inside-Out Beauties!

This is my 100th blog post!  100 !!! Can you believe it???

To think that when I first started this blog I wondered if anyone would read it at all...

THANK YOU SO MUCH!   I am truly grateful at how much support you give my blog everyday and I get so many tweets saying thank you for this post, or that interview, or that video really helped me...  You have no idea how happy it makes me feel.

FASHION | TOP 5 INDIE DESIGNER PICKS !

Hi my Inside-Out Beauties!

Today I'm bringing you my favorite picks from the most talented and promising independent designers in the Baltic states...  

The indie design movement is made up of independent designers and craftspeople who design and make a wide array of products, often handmade as opposed to those mass-produced ones from large corporations. This is what makes their jewellery , accessories and clothing unique!  And personal style, in my opinion, has a lot to do with unique items.

So I've picked my Top 5 items of the month from the website MadameKuku.com , to share with you just a few examples of what some these amazing designers have to offer to all of us.  If at any time, you'd like to learn more about an item, just click on its picture.

#1♥  My first pick is this black and white stand-up collar dress, designed by Karliene.  This elegant fitted and long sleeve dress is an item all of us should have on our wardrobes.

#2♥ My next pick is this gorgeous handmade...

MOTIVATION | The Power of a Smile

Happy Motivation Monday my Inside-Out Beauties!

Today I wanted to talk briefly about the Power of Smiling :) so we can start this week with a positive attitude.
I first noticed the power of a smile one day walking by the beach.  It was really sunny, and the sun was right in front of my eyes.  While regretting the mistake of not having brought my sunglasses with me, I walked with my eyes half-open... I noticed after a few minutes that the people passing me by at the beach starting smiling at me.  The first one, I thought... Do I know this person?   The second one I said to myself:  Wow, people are really relaxed during vacations!  By the third one I realized what was going on ... 

REAL LIFE | A LOOK BACK AT ... SUMMERTIME!

Can you believe it's JUNE already!!!  When did this happen girls?
I know many of you in the Northern hemisphere are planning your Summer Vacations, but down here it's almost winter, and those warm days seem so far away :(

Great thing we always have amazing memories and plans ahead... and also winter is not that bad here either!

But I thought it would be a great idea to share with you one of the things I love doing the most during summertime, and that is going on a road trip adventure!

Last summer, we filmed this vlog, where you can see a little of Buenos Aires too! I know many of you are very curious about my city, so you sure will enjoy this one.

LOVE | How to Survive a Long Distance Relationship - Part 2

Hi my Inside-Out Beauties!

You enjoyed How to Survive a Long Distance Relationship PART 1, now let's go deeper into this with a new story!   Today's special guest is a loyal reader of TheInsideOutBeauty.com .  I have invited Maddy to discuss her personal experience "surviving" a long distance relationship.  Being in love and apart can be quite challenging for us women, so I thought her testimony and advice would be very valuable to us all.  Thanks for agreeing to this interview Maddy.

Maddy - A long distance love survivor :)

Let's start with the basics:  is a long distance relationship even possible Maddy?

Yes! Of course it is. I love my boyfriend VERY much and I would do anything to be with him, however being in a long distance relationship is not for everyone and it takes a special kind of relationship to be able to withstand one. You have to be able to deal with many lonely nights away from him. That's probably the hardest part. Not being able to actually talk to him and having to rely on technology in order to talk to him is a challenge. If you can deal with both those things for long periods of time, then by all means a long distance relationship is very possible.

That's so true Maddy! How long have you been in a long distance relationship?
