Some of my ideas

Some of my ideas shared over facebook within the last week that did pretty well:

-sure go ahead, eat your cheese burgers, fries, and all other fatty, greesy, and transfat filled food and go ahead and tell me how great you feel. Then continue on by telling me that by changing your eating your habits it won't help you live longer. I have one thing to say: Eating healthy is about quality of life. Sure you may live to be 70 or 80 but what will the quality of your life be? Look around. Case in point. Enough said.
---- I posted this because it saddens me to see how prevelant Diabetes, Emphysema (usually caused by cigarette smoking), and Heart Disease is these days. If we take preventative messures now then our actions will pay off later. I feel our younger generation sometimes takes life for granted. Don't get me started on how they tend to be rude to our elders! On an happier note, and I like to say this a lot, for every person that could care less abour our elders or their own quality of life, there is a teen volunteering his/her time and a healthfood store employee mentoring someone new! Everything balances itself out. Lets just hope the good starts to outweight the negatives.

-Happiness is a choice and if you can't change the people around you then CHANGE which people you choose to have around you. ♥
---- Someone told me this a long time ago but they said it differently. They said, "If you can't change the people around you then change the people around you." I wanted to simplify this statement but creating my own so its easy to understand. I want people to understand that they don't have to suffer in bad relationships, that happiness is THEIR choice. Many people feel stuck and forget how much power they have by one simple choice. That choice is who you choose to have in your life. Honestly, it is so important to choose the right people in your life. People can either carry you through hard times or bring you down and stomp on you while you are at your lowest. Choose carefully who you let in your life. That's not to say don't love or be kind, still have an open heart, just be more careful who you choose to share it with.

-so its day 2 of the Pakistani wedding. I can't wait to see what unfolds tonight. Its the actual wedding ceremony tonight. There is so much rich tradition surrounding these events leading up to the big day. Tomorrow is the reception. So beautiful. I love you 'Shueyb Khan'. Thanks for introducing me to this culture. And no its not my wedding LOL. ----- Well I wrote the first part because it was my first cultural wedding experience and it was quite wonderful. I had to share it with facebook because there are so many misconceptions about the Pakistani culture. I used to have so many misconceptions and since I met Shueyb my eyes have been opened up to a whole new world. And its a beautiful one at that.
 

I will try and post more. I am taking a trip this weekend and I plan to blog about that!!!

Perfect size & weight of a model

Perfect size & weight of a model You hear this question all the time, "What is the perfect size and weight of a model?" The truth is that one must embrace his or her unique beauty and really play up their strengths. Personality will outshine any flaws as well. There are general specific requirements for certain areas of modeling such as for runway one should be at least 5'8 and taller. However I am 5'6 and I book a ton of runway shows. Also there are petite runway shows where you may be shorter. Same with size. Generally you will see that runway models are thinner anywhere from size 0-2. However, plus size modeling is on the rise. And again it depends on your client. All of the prom and pageant runway shows i have been to have wanted sizes 4-6 to be their models. So again, embrace your unique beauty, and find a catagory that you fit into. Never change yourself in an unhealthy way to be unrealistically thin so you can fit someone's standards if it does harm to you. Instead embrace what you have, improve your weaknesses, and play up your strengths. The biggest thing you hear models say today is, what is the perfect weight? The answer is there isn't a perfect weight. Its about being proportioned, looking healthy, being toned, and feeling great about yourself. I hope that helps. Models ask me all the time so I decided to share the information I have learned as a professional model, to break some misconceptions and myths about having to be ultra thin and tall to model. Embrace YOUR unique beauty and love the skin YOU are in.
