Speak the language that you understand - Ramsha Awan

hello there! It is 1:29 AM in holland right now, I am dead tired, I need to be up at about 10 ish but the thing is, i can't sleep. Too much on my mind so lets say, i feel like blogging :')
"Speak the language that you understand" is a quote writen by me! Impressive, i know :L
This quote means, do what you like and are good at. Don't do what someone else is good at and expects you to copy them! When you are 5, you do what your mom does, put on her red lipstick get on her high heels and walk through the house and yes you can hear the heels hitting the wooden floor, tak tak tak! 
when you turn 10 you try to act as if you are 15, get an iPod and pretend it is your phone? Like seriously, what is wrong with us.. I actually think it is just the girls that do that. But maybe boys do as well, not sure though. 
Anyway, yeah so you wear 'holister tops and  i dont know leggings and UGG boots' No honey, that is not meant for you. And then once we are 15, we act as if the whole world goes around us and do what we want (most of the time). We think we are right but at some points we realize we are wrong but just for the hell of the fun we continue which brings later in our life problems. 
be who you are, from inside. I love art. I paint. I love colours. I love fashion. I love drawing. I love make-up. I love writing stories. I wish I could write a novel someday and get it published.  And what am I thinking of doing in the future? Psychology:) Does that make any kind of sense? I hate science, biology, chemistry and physics and maths just don't work for me. I love art, I love english. Am I doing anything related to these both subjects? No. Why? Because I am doing what my parents wish me to do. 
That is the thing, our lives go on and we comperemise for the once we adore and they do the same in return. My father is someone I look up at and I am proud of, and same with my mother. Them two are my hero's. And sometimes it hurts to see that they are crying or are upset because of a little thing I did, yes sometimes I admit it gets on my nerves but most of the time it makes me cry. I am not a strong person, all of my blogs are actually for myself. I need to understand that everything happens for a reason. 
But speaking the language that I understand will not happen, I will speak the language that my parents want me to understand. And if you are in the same situation, go along with it and make the best of it. Life is too short to live with regrets, do what you want but keep the people around you happy. 

Love,
Ramsha xx

School Life

hello my sweethearts!
Being in school has to be the hardest part of life that is worth everything and decides your future. You can make school fun by giving your best! No matter what grade you are in it is hard for you. When you were in the first grade and started reading you took everything you could to get the alphabet right and now you are in such condition that you have to do the hardest algebra and write twenty million lab reports and essays and you manage  time to go on Facebook or to at least have time to eat something. I am in my final year at my 'high school', I am in MYP 5 (IB school :/ International!) which is in England year 11, and in America I think sophomore year? Not sure though but anyway I have to get to DP (kind of A-level thing in England) but that is very very very hard. So I have to basically get all A*'s and A's.. Yes, that is not the easiest job ever but I have to or go to a dutch education which would take me approximatly 4/5 years to get to uni.. So hmm, anyway. 
So I would say I have some tips to get your school life on track!
They are very basic but I guess, they work for me. 
1) Do ALL of your homework. I know it is such a pain in the ass to do all of your homework but if you want to keep up with school, go ahead and give it a go. Do your homework, listen to music while doing it or if you can not concentrate or have to memorize something don't bother with music. But if basic homework, go ahead, enjoy yourself while working. 
2) Concentrate in ALL of your classes, especially the ones you are weak at! I suck at maths, I try but I just simply don't get the heck of maths. It kills me when i have a double hour of maths which I do twice a week. A single hour in my opinion works much better for me. I realized if I concentrate in maths I actually get what the teacher is talking about but at other times when I am very tired or I have been concentrating for too long I just can't do it, and in the future I don't understand it either. So I try to pay attention the more in maths! So I know its hard but try to pay attention most of the time in classes. 
3) Work during weekends! Weekend does NOT mean freedom, it means you are now responsible enough to work on the weekends 8 hours long just like you do at school, so get your books and start learning babes! 
4) Stay socialized but not too much, I mean I have friends but I de-activated my facebook account, and I gotta admit when I have nothing to do I start studying instead of checking for notifications like I used to. So maybe don't stay inouch through the computer but at school or maybe at times out of school. Like on weekends go to the movies or sleepover but not through facebook or twitter or msn. 
5) LISTEN TO MUSIC AND EAT! I am a girl, and I love food and music. I mean every girl does so eat and listen to music, during and after work. At my school we are allowed to listen to music while working on questions in maths or humanities or just basic things. It helps many people to concentrate. So get your earphones and iPod. And grab a chocolate and complete your work. 

Good Luck!

Make-up for a lovely beachy weather:)

So, its been a while and school is kicking ass. And I must say I love the weather in Holland, which I don't say very often because it is always raining or snowing or really windy down here but since a few days its really sunny and warm. It is not a weather for a beach party but a good weather for a family picnic or just an ice cream with your friends!

So good weather also means taking good care of your skin and looking as natural as possible! So for this lovely summer weather I would say use this natural bronzer by Rimmel London (I have it myself and I must say it is amazing and just gives this very natural flow in complete make-up, good for a day at the beach or a day at the ice-cream parlour!)

For a healthy tanned look whatever the weather. This light, natural looking bronzing powder combines colour and protection with SPF8. Hello Sunshine! ( Rimmel London)

      Foundation is also very important but the problem with having liquid foundation on a summer's day is that it might even just melt on your face or with a rainy weather it might get all smudged so for that case I do have a good liquid foundation that looks great but it still does sometimes smudge so in my opinion I would say stay with powder but I know sometimes you need both so in that case I will show you both of the foundations that I say will be great together. Both from different companies but great for the face. And a plus point, they are not very bad for your skin either!!

Mac & Maybelline are brilliant at foundations I think. And I like these two the best out of the super natural look. The problem with the Maybelline liquid foundation is that it is hard (for me) to find a good colour that matches my skin and it doesnt happen a lot. I can never find a good foundation that matches my skin tone because i am very tanned. 

So natural eyeshadow means that the eyeshadow you chose will be just like your foundation suits your face, so almost the same colour as your skin tone. So as I am tanned I would say brown eyeshadow. But if you are like pale, I would still use brown but a very light colour. This is an example of a good brown eyeshadow by Sephora,

And ofcource a finishing touch with a nude Lipstick and a great mascara!

Catrice Be Natural 010 lipstick is beautiful, natural and very nice for a warm weather. I just bought it and I am in love with it! 

This mascara has been my favourite mascara since it came out which was in about april may? or maybe even march 2011?? But seriously, I love it! I got it on my birthday with a bunch of other make products and when I got this one I thought wait is it as good as the old Maybelline Colossal? The Colossal (The yellow one) was very nice and I didnt know if this one would be as good, when I tried it on it was brilliant, the made all of my lashes big and perfect the way I wanted them without any use of an eyelash curler or fake lashes, so give this mascara a go! 


Anyway, this was my main idea of a good summer or warm weather make-up idea, I know summer is over but it was just such a nice weather That I had to make a blog on this:) Have a great day! And have a healthy fresh face through out summer/winter :') 

Love,

Hate yourself? Really?!

Facebook is a website that some people call their diary.. Hmmp.. No Girlies!
You have an inbox, and send all of your feelings to your bestfriend even though if you think you are bugging her/him. I love my bestfriend but that doesn't mean that I don't think that I annoy her.
Look at the sky, why were you made? You can not answer that question, atleast not yet.
So stop hating and find the reason why you were born, you were born for a reason. Do you know the reason? You will not know the reason until you have one. Think, what happened in your past that made you like this. You must think, 'I was never like this before! He/she made me likethis! I hate her/him!!'
No, think normally, think. Wash out the anger and think now once again. When you were 3 maybe you fell of the stairs because you tripped. Your parents were not telling you off, instead they were scared that you might have a bruise. Now think, if you fell and died, would you have met your 'school mates'? Your 'boyfriend' or 'girlfriend'? Or maybe any of your 'ex' that actually meant a lot to you at some point? No.
So why are you so upset now? You will cry, you will be sad, you will want to die but baby, you will be alright! And forget all of that!
So now think, is hating yourself the solution? Or posting a very depressing status the Solution? Or is even killing yourself the solution to your problems? No, smile. Smile is the solution!
Smile even if you are upset, and trust me your problems will be resolved in no time. Crying is okay, you can cry everything out BUT DO NOT in any circumstances listen to songs that remind you of what is wrong with you. Songs make it worst, listen to happy songs! Songs that make you go back to memories where you laughed or smiled! You are not alone, smile and laugh. That is what life is made up of. Dont give up on life, life will make you go through things that you can not imagine but hey, life gave you happy moments. Think of life as a relationship, you have ups and downs but you couldn't live without it:) so till then, good luck.

'Don't wait for the storm to pass, learn to dance in the rain'

Orange&Yellow- Hello autumn!

Say goodbye to The colour of sun and hello to the beautiful colour of the leaves. Some people will be missing their summer love and others the beach, some people will be missing shorts while others ice cream, summer holidays are over and a new school approached with the beautiful weather:) I don't know what people hate so much about autumn, honestly I think it's beautiful! Rain=sexy kissing, Beautiful colours=beautiful clothes, cold weather=hugging&cuddling and to top it all of, movies all night with my girls with hoodies on in the blanket!
This weather speaks for itself. Starbucks and a good article to read or write will make your day.
So stop moaning about how much you miss summer holidays and enjoy autumn! Enjoy the new collections of clothes and hey, if you have your loved one start cuddling;) hehe
At my brothers football training today I saw this little girl and I just had a flashback. That girl was hugging her dad and she is only about four years old. I remember when I used to go with my dad anywhere I used to hug him, jump on him and kiss him on the cheek. Where did all the love go? This leave is for autumn and all those teenagers that want to go back and jump on their dad like they used to! Have a great autumn!

Love,

Back to School sweetheart!

 So school has started I am guessing? 
Yes yes i know, everyone wants this year to be different then last year which is not a bad thing to start with. If you are going to a new school, good luck and try your best to fit in. If you are still in your old school (just like me) go for your goals that you did not achieve last year or the year before. Starting with school I guess means working harder than last year. But that does not mean leaving fashion behind! 
Fashion needs to go along with you as well as your studies. You do not want to show up at school with old clothes and no make up everyday now do you? There is no problem with not wearing make up or not dressing up but then again it will help you to fit in more easily and you will feel comfortable. Work your butt off, but do not forget to have fun while doing that. Go out with friends every now and then, make a schedule for studying and be fit at the same time! 

Here are fashion ideas for your school year 2011/2012 

 Abercrombie & Fitch - $260

Abercrombie & Fitch - $130

Abercrombie & Fitch - $88

H&M - 20 euro

H&M - 25 euro

H&M - 15 euro

River Island - 35 pounds

River Island - 15 pounds (both hats)

River Island - 15 pounds

River Island - 15 pounds

Online - $60.80 

iPhone 4 case, sorry there was no price mentioned. 


Anyway i wish you good luck for your whole school year, have fun and stay postive:)

Be Beautiful

Being beautiful does not always mean from the outside, it means sometimes from the inside.
Many people have self confident problems and i must say, me; myself have had such feeling. It is okay to not feel perfect but hey, give yourself some credit mate! Nobody is perfect but feeling perfect gives no harm? Think about it, having problems at school? having problems at home? having any problems, but how does that relate to your personality or your looks? Be your self, and be strong. 
A great tip for everyone who feels down and have self-esteem problems: 


Get a post-it of your favourite colour if possible and simply write "Be Strong, Be you!" and paste it on your mirror. Every day you will get ready for school or work or whatever, you will read it and forget the past:) or atleast GIVE IT A SHOT! I got this trick from my best friend who helped me through a lot in my life.

Love,
Ramsha xx
