Waiting for Christmas....


  Hello, everybody! Long time  I did not write in my blog...a busy time, but now waiting for Christmas holidays I decide to make some tutorials. This year I think to decorate the Christmas tree in a " vintage" style. Nice and chic. "The best of joy, the best of cheer, for Christmas and the coming year..." So, let the creativity to fly....let`s go...

 What do you think about  some Christmas balls with napkin tehnique.
 First, we will  need: Christmas patterned napkins, brushes, white acrylic paints, glue or varnish glue, golden acrylic paint, styropor balls, napkin scissors, golden marker and small sticks.







Second, paint the surface of the ball with white acrylic paint. Allow to dry.









After that, paint two times with golden acrylic paint . Allow to dry again.






Select the napkin and the design to use. Cut out the design what you want to stick. Peel away the first 2 layer of paper. We have to use the third one, the layer with the pattern. Glue the styropor ball and put the pattern selected, glue again the surface. 






Let a while to dry, maybe a few hours...must be well dried everything.








The old look can be made with a golden marker. A few stripes, the middle of the flower, in this case...







And our work is finished. Lovely pieces!!!

Anti-aging tipps,we really need?

I read  an interesting book from Sarah Merson"The best 100 anti-aging tipps " a few days ago and I decided to try a few of them.
1.Olive oil.
  It contains vitamin E and Omega 9 which make him very important for heart, hair and skin.
  For inflammation of the skin or a skin with problems, look here for a recipe:
 - 2 spoons olive extra virgin oil
-  the juice of 1/2 lemon
 Olive oil and lemon mix. Every morning 30 minutes before breakfast, nothing is eating before, drink this mixture. For a good and successful treatment  lasts about 3 weeks long. It makes a very nice skin and hair too. What do you think...



Olive oil is a wonderful oil for facial cleansing
