At parties you need to look as crazy as possible.
About care
My self-care has settled down only recently. I have reactive skin, so I spent three school years with Clearasil and the most dense matte tonal. I learned about the dangers of drying out and the need for moisturizing much later - but it really changed the situation. Now I feel an urgent need only in the skin for washing and moisturizing cream, the rest - according to the situation; for emergency cases, I have a set of SOS-tools ready. For the body I use aloe-gel, a couple of times a week - a scrub to improve microcirculation. I also just adore smearing various masks, serums and in general everything that positions itself as cosmetics. The most difficult was to restore the hair after five years of dyeing in blond - it required serious financial costs, because, to our great regret, only expensive means helped.
About the attitude to beauty
Long thinking about the attitude to appearance, I realized that in my case the secret lies in education. My mother is incredibly beautiful and confident, despite the fact that her appearance can not be called canonical. Probably, her example saved me from numerous complexes, despite the jokes at school and toxic novels. I feel complete harmony with how I look. Perhaps in the universe of "Doctor Hollywood," I would have reduced my nose to elf-sized, but in real life I do not feel such a need.
For the first time I felt the connection of appearance and inner state at the age of fourteen and, of course, I wanted to adjust one to the other. Bottom line: a septum pierced in the apartment of some half-bards in Medvedkov, a terrible tattoo in the form of a crown on the shoulder blade and a transition to blonde by dipping the head (literally!) In a basin with "Supra" in summer camp. At about the same time I looked at the “Club Mania” with Macaulay Kalkin and immediately acquired false eyelashes and a massive glitter for every day. Then the scale of shocking, of course, were more powerful, but even now I prefer to look at parties as brightly as possible. Photo reports from the events, however, prove from time to time that "nude" images get more audience sympathy, but I will not back down - still angry at Berlin's techno clubs, which I could not get because of their passion for normal music ! There are too many reasons in life to be tired, passive and gray, I don’t want to extend this mood to all areas of life. But in the morning I’m almost never painted, because laziness ñ I spend my spare moments for a relaxed breakfast.
There was a time when I tried to look like Paris Hilton - with scorched white hair, red tanning between the fingers, high heels, shaving legs twice a day and almost architectural push-up. All this was due to unsuccessful relationships, destructive, both physically and psychologically. Because of the possible negative effects of tanning still worrying!
About well-being
With regard to sports, I am the very bad dancer who is interfering with something all the time. Went to yoga for a while, it helped move away from the grueling techno parties. Then I went to the acrobatics for beginners, and it was just amazing - until such time as I decided to try the flips at the metal festival. It all ended with a torn meniscus and painful shock at the Rammstein concert (I am a little proud of this story, of course). The trainings had to be stopped, but now I think again to go back to yoga, because I feel the need to calm the mind - it really works there.
To be in good psychological and physical form, I first need to be surrounded by interesting people. I am obsessed with my family and friends, I constantly think about them and miss them. Therefore, if you hear in the bustle of the city, as someone speaks loudly with her grandmother on the phone, it is likely that it is me. For many people, loneliness becomes a pledge of harmony and tranquility. I am very far from this approach: I am drawn to people and become happier and even feel more beautiful when they are near.
