It’s funny, ladies here in the Philippines spend a lot to buy whitening lotions while ladies in the US spend a lot on tanning lotions. Beauty products has always been there since the olden times. There has been evidence that cosmetics has been existing since 4000 BC on Egypt. Greeks and Romans has been using them since the ancient times. Fragrances like frankinscence and myrrh are even mentioned in the Bible!

In India, people used henna for dying their hair. Chinese used beeswax, gelatin, gum and even egg to stain their fingernails! Japanese geishas used crushed petals of safflowers as lipsticks and make-up!

Cosmetics has been around for many centuries now. Beauty has been a very prominent topic for poets like Shakespeare, Oscar Wilde, William Wordsworth and probably every other poets in the canon.

I guess what cosmetics aim is to preserve the youthful beauty one has. Age will always be there. What these beauty products do is to delay the signs of aging in one’s appearance. And you know what? There’s nothing wrong about it.

If you want to know more anti-aging information and to find the latest products in the market that suits your interest, try stopping by this dremu website.

I really admire those parents who support their children’s dreams. Usually parents choose the courses their children should take up in college. A very popular issue is when a child announces to his/her parents that he/she would like to enroll in a fashion school.

Parents usually raise their eyebrows in this decision doubting any probability of a secure future ahead of their child. But like I said I admire those parents to deviate to this “tradition” for the sake of their child’s passion.

Speaking of fashion schools, there’s this site that features fashion schools in California and other places in the US. The site specializes in finding and reviewing the different fashion schools in the area. The site features fashion schools in Los Angeles, too.

The site also features top designers and a quick guide to the different fashion schools in California. There are fashion articles available for the visitors to learn more about fashion industry. If you have any desire to study fashion particularly in the said areas, then that site is definitely for you.

Art and creativity can actually earn you a degree! People has been very critical to me when I took up the Creative Writing Program. I mean, they had expected me to take up a course that would ensure me a “bright future” (meaning medicine, law, accountancy, nursing and other white-collared job courses).

But in choosing a course, I believe that one should follow your passion and mix it up with a little practicality. Embarking to the world of fashion is one of the best answers.

If I was to study fashion, where else should it be but The Big Apple?!

I’ve stumbled in a site that features New York fashion schools. The site helps you in finding the best fashion schools in New York from design to merchandising and marketing!
