PERBUALAN SEORANG BAYI SEBELUM KELAHIRANNYA
Baca dan hayati kisah di bawah ini. Fahami mesej yang cuba disampaikan. Dan paling penting, amalkan ilmu yang anda dapat.
Adalah dikisahkan….pada ketika seorang bayi akan dilahirkan ke dunia nyata.
Bayi itu bertanya kepada Tuhan : “Para malaikat di sini mengatakan bahawa besok Engkau akan mengirimkan saya ke dunia, tetapi bagaimana cara saya hidup di sana? Saya begitu kecil dan lemah.”
Tuhan menjawab: “Aku telah memilih satu malaikat untukmu. Dia akan menjaga dan mengasihimu dengan sepenuh hatinya.”
Bayi bertanya lagi: “Tetapi disini, didalam syurga ini, apa yang saya lakukan hanyalah bernyanyi, bermain dan tertawa…Inikan sudah cukup bagi saya untuk berbahagia.”
Tuhan menjawab: “Malaikat mu nanti akan bernyanyi dan tersenyum untukmu setiap hari. Dan kamu akan merasakan kehangatan cintanya dan menjadi lebih berbahagia di sana”
Bayi bertanya lagi: “Bagaimana mungkin saya dapat memahami orang-orang bercakap dengan saya sedangkan saya tidak memahami bahasa mereka?”
Tuhan menjawab: “Malaikatmu akan berbicara kepadamu dengan bahasa yang paling indah yang pernah kamu dengar. Dan dengan penuh kesabaran dan perhatian. Dia akan mengajar kepadamu cara untuk berkata-kata.”
Bayi bertanya lagi: “Apakah yang boleh saya lakukan ketika saya ingin berbicara kepadaMu?”
Tuhan menjawab: “Malaikatmu akan mengajarkan bagaimana cara kamu berdoa dan bermunajat kepadaKu.”
Bayi bertanya lagi:”Saya mendengar bahawa di Bumi banyak orang jahat. Siapa yang akan melindungi saya nanti?”
Tuhan menjawab: “Malaikatmu lah yang akan melindungimu, walaupun mungkin jiwa dan raga terpaksa dikorbankannya.’
Bayi bertanya lagi: “Tapi, saya pasti akan merasa sedih kerana tidak lagi dapat melihatMu lagi.”
Tuhan menjawab: “Malaikatmu akan menceritakan kepadamu tentang Aku dan akan mengajarkan bagaimana kamu nanti akan kembali juga kepadaKu, walaupun sesungguhnya Aku akan sentiasa disisimu.”
Pada saat itu, Syurga begitu tenang dan hening sehingga suara dari Bumi dapat jelas kedengaran.
Dan sang bayi bertanya perlahan : “Tuhan, jika saya terpaksa pergi sekarang ini, bolehkah Kamu khabarkan kepadaku nama malaikat yang Kamu maksudkan itu?”
Tuhan menjawab: “Kamu akan memanggil malaikatmu itu sebagai “IBU”. Maka ingatlah, sentiasa kamu berkasih sayang dengannya dan menghargai setiap pengorbanan ibu mu. Berbakti, berdoa dan cintailah dia sepanjang masa. Dialah satu-satunya harta mu yang tiada galang gantinya, dunia mahupun akhirat. ”
Dan untuk para ibu, ingatlah kisah ini dikala kamu hilang sabar dengan karenah anak-anak mu yang sedang membesar. Sesungguh nya Syurga itu dibawah telapak kakimu. Sucikanlah 4 perkara dengan 4 perkara :
Wajahmu dengan linangan air mata keinsafan
Lidahmu basah dengan berzikir kepada Penciptamu
Hatimu takut dan gementar kepada kehebatan Robb mu
Dosa-dosa mu yang lalu dengan taubat kepada Dzat yang Memiliki mu

Thoughts bout begging...
I was shopping at a store today when I passed by a playground. I saw some children of various ages playing there. A group of girls, I think about 11 or 12 years old, approached me and asked if I could spare a few ringgit.. I was stunned. I said did your parents know about this.They said that they just wanted to buy some sweets. I said don't beg for money from anyone.Ask from your parents.They looked scared when I said that, maybe thinking I was going to see their parents. I would too if I know their parents but I don't.
I feel so sorry for them but I can't give them the money and encourage such behaviour. It's a crazy world we live in and there are crazy people who wouldn't think twice of harming children. Parents should tell the children about the dangers of approaching strangers. Begging is also bad.
I remember my dad used to tell us never to look at other people when they are eating. You know how it is with children, especially when they see other people eating ice cream and sweets etc. They will look with longings. If we want anything he said to come to him and never beg for anything from anyone even when we were hungry.
I walked home still thinking about those girls...

Ramadhan kareem
TAZKIRAH
Ahlan Wasahlan Ya Ramadhan
“Ya Allah sesungguhnya Engkau telah menaungi kami dengan bulan ramadhan, ramadhan akan tiba maka hantarkanlah ia kepada kami dan sampaikanlah kami kepadanya, berikakanlah rezeki kepada kami dengan berpuasa dan shalat, anugerahkanlah kepada kami kekuatan dan kesungguhan serta kesiapan, lindungilah kami dari fitnah.”
Pada saat kita melihat bagaimana salafusshalih menghidupkan bulan ramadhan dengan beribadah kepadaNya, maka kita akan mendapati hampir seluruh waktu yang ada hampir tak mereka lepaskan begitu saja, tetapi mereka berpacu dengan waktu tersebut seakan-akan mereka tidak pernah beristirahat.
Imam Syafi’i terbiasa menghatamkan Al Qur’an 60 kali pada bulan ramadhan, Imam Ahmad menhatamkannya setiap pekan, Yahya bin Ma’in menghatamkannya setiap malam tanpa mengabaikan ibadah-ibadah yang lain, kesungguhan ini tentu bukan kesungguhan yang biasa. Biar kita tidak hanya terkesima dengan ibaadah mereka, mari kita coba awali dengan melihat sebab-sebab yang menjadikan mereka bisa mewujudkan hal tersebut, diantaranya:
1. Mereka senantiasa membangkitkan kerinduannya kepada Allah Subhanahuwata’ala.
Hal ini sebagaimana doa Rasulullah dalam shalat-shalatnya. Kerinduan akan perjumpaan dengan Rabbnya senantiasa mereka panjatkan dalam do’a-do’a mereka.
“Aku memohon kepadaMu ridha atas ketetapanMu, kehidupan yang damai setelah kematian, kelezatan memendang wajahMu dan rindu akan perjumpaan denganMu.” [ HR Nasai dishhihkan oleh al Bani dalam Shahih al Jami’ no: 1301]
Untuk menumbuhkan kerinduan itu mereka mengawalinya dengan:
Menelaah lagi Asma wa sifat Allah.
Memperhatikan kenikmatan yang telah Allah anugerahkan.
Merasa rugi atas waktu-waktu yang telah berlalu karena malalaikan ibadah tidak seperti dibulan ramadhan.
Melihat kepada orang-orang shalih yang telah jauh meninggalkan mereka dengan amal ibadahnya.
2. Mereka sangat memahami keutamaan bulan ramadhan sebagai nikmat Allah kepada mereka.
Ibnu Mas’ud pernah mendengar Rasulullah bersabda:
“Seandainya hamba-hamba (Allah) mengetahui apa yang ada pada bulan ramadhan, sungguh umatku menginginkan agar satu tahun dijadikan ramadhan semuanya.” [ ‘Umdatul Qari’ Syarah shahih Al Bukhari].
3. Melatih diri dengan persiapan, tekad yang kuat dan obsesi yang tinggi.
“Dan jika mereka mau berangkat, tentulah mereka menyiapkan persiapan untuk keberangkatan itu” (QS. At Taubah [9]: 46).
Wahib bin Al Ward berkata: “ Jika anda mampu agar tidak seorangpun mendahuluimu kepada Allah (dalam beribadah) maka lakukanlah.
Syaikh Syamsuddin bin Muhammad At Turkistani berkata:” Tidaklah apa yang sampai kepadaku kabar tentang seseorang yang beribadah suatu ibadah kecuali saya melakukan ibadah itu yang sama dan menambahnya.”
Al Junaid berkata: “Berjalanlah engkau bersama orang-orang yang berhimmah ‘aliyah.”
4. Menjauhkan kemalasan dan bergaul dengan orang-orang yang rajin beramal shalih. Syu’bah bin Al Hijaaj Al Bishri berkata: “ Janganlah kalian duduk untuk bersantai-santai karena kematian sedang mencarimu.
Dikatakan kepada Imam Ahmad: “ Kapan seseorang itu beristirahat ? Maka dijawab: Ketika pertama kali telapak kakinya diletakan disurga.”
5. Senantiasa muhasabah atas segala kekurangan dalam beribadah.
Ibnu Mas’ud mengatakan bahwasanya Rasulullah bersabda:
“Sesungguhnya seorang mukmin melihat dosa-dosanya bagaikan dia duduk dikaki gunung ketakutan jika gunung itu meruntuhinya, adapun orang fajir melihat dosa-dosanya bagaikan dia melihat lalat yang melintas didepan hidungnya sambil berkata: Hi !!.” [ HR. Muslim no 2744]
6. Membekali dengan ilmu seputar hukum-hukum ibadah ramadahan.
Pengetahuan yang benar tentang hukum-hukum seputar ramadhan merupakan modal utama didalam menjalankan ibadah ramadhan, sehingga pelaksanaan itu akan dijalani dengan kemantapan dan keyakinan serta mendapatkan pahala yang benar-benar memberikan manfaat diakhirat, tidak seperti orang-orang yang hanya bermodal semangat tanpa ilmu sehingga amalnya itu bak debu yang tidak berguna.
“Dan kami hadapkan segala amal yang mereka kerjakan lalu kami jadikan amal itu (bagaikan) debu yang berterbangan.”(QS. Al Furqan [25]: (53)
7. Mempersiapkan diri dengan kesabaran agar bisa menikmati ibadah pada bulan ramadhan.
Dibulan yang penuh barakah inilah seorang muslim diuji kesabarannya dalam berbagai hal, sebagaimana Allah berfirman dalam hadist Qudsi:
“Mereka meninggalkan syahwatnya dan makannya serta minumnya hanya untukKu, maka puasa itu untukKu dan Akulah yang akan membalasnya.” [HR. Muslim no 1151]
“Sifat-sifat yang baik itu tidak dianugerahkan melainkan kepada orang-orang yang sabar dan tidak dianugerahkan melainkan kepada orang-orang yang mempunyai keuntungan yang besar” (QS. Fushilat [41]:35).
8. Menghidupkan segala ibadah-ibadah yang ada dan mampu dikerjakan tanpa meremehkan ibadah yang terlihat kecil.
Abu Dzar berkata bahwasanya Rasulullah bersabda:
“Janganlah kamu memandang rendah sedikitpun suatu kebajikan” [ HR. Muslim no 2626].
Ibnu ‘Abbas berkata:.
“Adalah Rasulullah orang yang paling dermawan terlebih lagi pada bulan ramadhan ketika Jibril mendatanginya untuk mengajarkan Al Qur’an.” [ HR. Al Bukhari no 1902]
Imam Syafi’i berkata: “Yang terbaik bagi seseorang pada bulan ramadhan adalah semakin dermawan sebagai bentuk meneladani Rasulullah dan karena pada bulan ramadhan manusia lebih membutuhkan untuk kemaslahatan mereka serta kesibukan mereka pada puasa dan shalat daripada bekerja. Memperbanyak dzikir kepada Allah. Imam Ahmad berkata:
“Sebaik-baik amal adalah engkau berpisah dari dunia dan lisanmu basah dari dzikir kepada Allah Subhanahuwata’ala.” [ HR Ahmad dihasankan oleh Al Bani dishahih Al Jami’ no 165]
9. Memahami hal-hal yang bisa melemahkan ibadah, sehingga tidak larut dalam futur.
Umar bin Al Khathab berkata: “Sesungguhnya hati maju mundur (dalam beribadah) maka jika hati sedang semangat maka ambilah sekalian ibadah-ibadah nafilah, jika hati sedang mundur (dalam beribadah) maka wajibkanlah ibadah-ibadah yang wajib.”[Syarh as Sunnah karya al Baidhawi].
Selain hati yang menjadikan ibadah pada bulan ramadhan menjadi tidak optimal walaupun syaithan sudah dibelenggu, yaitu nafsu, Allah berfirman:
“Sesungguhnya nafsu itu selalu menyuruh kepada kejahatan, kecuali nafsu yang diberi rahmat oleh Tuhanku. Sesungguhnya Tuhanku Maha Pengampun lagi Maha penyanyang.” (QS. Yusuf [12]:53). Imam Dalam syair-syair dikatakan:
“Nafsu itu seperti bayi, jika dibiarkan menyusu maka akan selalu menyusu tapi jika disapih maka jadi tersapih. Biasanya bayi akan senantiasa menangis pada saat awal disapih akan tetapi jika sudah beberapa hari maka akan terbiasa, itulah jiwa manusia.”
Allohu a’lam bish showab.

ACID SPLASH...BEWARE!!
Hello Every Body
Just read a very sad news from Kuala Lumpur (KL). Currently, in KL, areas like Brickfields, Jln Bukit Bintang, Jln Pudu, Bangsar, there are two Indian men on a motorbike, likely to be crazy, they throw acid onto pretty girls. So far 20 ladies already splashed with acid.
Frustration and hatred is all around for these culprits, Police is trying to catch these Indian. In the last case, one baby also get acid attack wth her mother from these Indian men, I think cruel people like them do not deserve to live in ths world. It is just so scary to be on road nowadays not knowing when they are going to attack you. Hopefully the culprits got caught.
I do not know why they are doing like this, is this a sort of fun for them or they are complexed. I feel ashamed of being a human being. Does God has given us power of thinking for such cruel things.
Be safe every where in the world.

Love To My Husband
I am drawn to you like
The stars to the midnight skies
The Earth to the burning sun
Water to thirsting flowers
I am comfortable with you like
An old pair of boots
A faded pair of jeans
My favorite sweater and scarf
I am at peace with you like
Sitting in a boat in the middle of a lake
Taking a walk in silence in the country
Listening to rain drops fall in the dark of night
I am alive with you like
The laughter that is uncontrollable
The heart that goes thump, thump, thump
Running through wildflowers in the wilderness
Every ounce of my being
Mind, body and soul are riveted by you
I am alive with you, free with you, comfortable with you
I love you
The stars to the midnight skies
The Earth to the burning sun
Water to thirsting flowers
I am comfortable with you like
An old pair of boots
A faded pair of jeans
My favorite sweater and scarf
I am at peace with you like
Sitting in a boat in the middle of a lake
Taking a walk in silence in the country
Listening to rain drops fall in the dark of night
I am alive with you like
The laughter that is uncontrollable
The heart that goes thump, thump, thump
Running through wildflowers in the wilderness
Every ounce of my being
Mind, body and soul are riveted by you
I am alive with you, free with you, comfortable with you
I love you
my amazing man
I never thought I'd be where I stand
It was only in dreams where I could hold your hand
I never thought that you'd be my man
I never thought I could, or would, or can
It's the things you do that make me wonder how
How we made it through
How it could be you
To love me...
And as I lie here, sitting in my bed
Listening to you breathe close to my head
I smile, I sing, I thank God you're with me
And pray that it'll last for eternity
You make me feel loved, in so many ways
You make me smile each and every day
You care for me, you listen, you're always here for me
And in return everything you are to me, I wanna be
Thank you for the good times
And even for the bad
Thank you for understanding
Everything I am
I know it's hard sometimes
But you always get me through
It's amazing what love can really do
And it's amazing that it brought me to you

KITCHEN BEAUTY
Who says you have to spend half of your paycheck on skin and hair care products to look your best? Why not just turn your kitchen’s pantry into your beauty bar and save a few bucks? All it takes are a few edible ingredients, an open mind and some DIY kitchen beauty tips.
Strawberries – These wondrous red berries aren’t merely delicious when they’re sliced and drizzled with balsamic vinegar, oh no. Strawberries are also your best friend for natural teeth-whitening. Once per day before your regular brushing and flossing (because of the sugar in the strawberries), mash two or three berries in a small bowl, and carefully, but vigorously, brush your teeth with this berry paste (you may want to dedicate a toothbrush to it, as the one you use will probably stain). Look for results within a week or two.
Honey – Pretty much a savior for skin and hair. Honey acts as a natural antiseptic and antifungal, and it’s also a fantastic humectant, preserving moisture in the skin. Try dabbing a bit over broken facial acne to speed the repair process (test on a small area first), mix a small amount in with your conditioner for a moisturizing and yummy-smelling hair mask, or place on your mouth overnight to wake up with full, luscious lips. Be careful, however, as honey tends to stick…everywhere. Use less than you initially think you’ll need, and add to it bit by bit from there.
Potatoes – An odd one, yes. But there’s a certain compound in potatoes that’s been shown to help reduce swelling and puffiness. Using a vegetable peeler, shred a small amount of potato, let it chill in the fridge for a while, and then place the chilled potato magic under your eyes. For the next 15 minutes or so, sit and read a good book, watch a little television, or talk to your cat. When you remove the odd treatment, voila! There should be less puff under those eyes.
Cinnamon – This fantastic spice also has great skincare benefits! Who knew? Mix a bit in with your favorite lipgloss to turn it into a lip-plumper. Or, try making a facial mask out of honey and cinnamon that can be used to help dry out acne and exfoliate dull, tired skin.
Yogurt – A fantastic moisturizing agent as well as a skin exfoliant (due to the lactic acid it contains). Use as a cooling facial mask to wake up dull, tired, or dry winter skin, or soak hands in it to help soften and heal cuticles; in either case, the thicker the yogurt, generally the better it works.
Turmeric – This strong smelling, yellowish spice is great for fading skin discolorations and post-acne scarring. Mix it with just enough lime juice (another great fading agent) to make a medium-thickness paste, and dab onto discolored skin only. Leave on for about 20 minutes before rinsing off with warm water. The area treated may take on a temporary yellow tint that should fade with another washing or two, but still — this is a treatment probably better suited to weekend nights.
Cranberry Juice – And we ain’t talkin’ ‘bout that sugary cocktail stuff. Spain’s raven-haired beauties still use pure cranberry juice to this day to keep their locks shining and lustrous. In the shower, use it as a post conditioner rinse. Pour over damp hair, massage in for a minute or two, and then let it sit for as long as you can before rinsing thoroughly.
Coffee – Coffee serves multiple benefits depending on whether you use it brewed or in its ground form. Brewed dark roast can be used as a post-conditioner wash to add richness to brunette, auburn, and dark blonde hair. Instant coffee can be added to conditioner for near the same effect, and plain ‘ol coffee grounds are a fantastic exfoliator. Mix with your favorite facial wash to give that face a good scrubbin’, or take it straight to your dry bod.
Salt – Natural sea salt is a great exfoliant and healing agent. Using small circular motions, rub down your entire dry body with straight up salt before your shower for a fantastic glow (make sure to use a rich moisturizer afterwards). Or (be careful with this one), try making a thick paste out of sea salt and honey, and place on stubborn acne. Be warned — it’ll sting like a jellyfish, but it works wonders for me.
Apple cider vinegar – This stuff is simply amazing. Pour some in a spritzer bottle, and use it as a facial toner to sop up extra oil and to regulate your skin’s pH levels. Dab some on ruddy cheeks or inflamed skin to take down redness. Use as a post-conditioner rinse to lock in moisture and shine, as well as protecting color and removing product build-up. Drink two tablespoons a day to decrease natural body odour, improve overall skin quality, and aid digestion. Amazing....
With these 10 simple ingredients, you’ve got yourself a fine recipe for skin and hair nirvana, all without breaking the bank or resorting to harsh, man-made chemicals. Just don’t try making anything edible out of all of these together… Salted strawberries over coffee-scented potatoes with a turmeric and cinnamon yogurt dressing topped with an apple cider vinegar and cranberry honey reduction? Mmm, my favorite.

Renungan: Tiga Cahaya Di Hari Kiamat
Salam Buat Semua...Buat Renungan Bersama
Di hari kiamat ada tiga cahaya yang berlainan :
* Cahaya yang pertama seperti bintang-bintang.
* Cahaya yang kedua seperti cahaya bulan.
* Cahaya yang ketiga seperti cahaya matahari.
Apabila ditanya cahaya apakah ini ? Lalu dijawab :
"Cahaya yang pertama ialah cahaya wajah-wajah manusia yang
ketika di dunia, mereka akan meninggalkan pekerjaan dan terus bersuci dan
mengambil air sembahyang apabila terdengar azan.
Yang kedua ialah cahaya wajah mereka yang mengambil air
sembahyang sebelum azan.
Cahaya yang ketiga ialah cahaya mereka seperti matahari.
Mereka di dunia sudah bersiap sedia di dalam mas jid sebelum azan lagi."
Kala Jengking Neraka
Di hari kiamat akan keluar seekor binatang dari neraka jahanam yang
bernama "Huraisy" berasal dari anak kala jengking.
Besarnya Huraisy ini dari timur hingga ke barat. Panjangnya pula seperti
jarak langit dan bumi.
Malaikat Jibril bertanya : "Hai Huraisy! Engkau hendak ke mana dan siapa
yang kau cari?"
Huraisy pun menjawab, "Aku mahu mencari lima orang.
Pertama, orang yang meninggalkan sembahyang.
Kedua, orang yang tidak mahu keluarkan zakat.
Ketiga, orang yang derhaka kepada ibubapanya.
Keempat, orang yang bercakap tentang dunia di dalam mas jid.
Kelima, orang yang suka minum arak."
Simpanlah baik2 amanat ini dan sebagai peringatan kita setiap hari.
Sampaikan kepada sekelian muslimin/muslimat yang lain semoga
menjadi pedoman hidup hingga keakhir hayat , Insya'Allah
A langkah berbahagianya anda semua yang mempunyai anak lelaki dan dididik
pula melaungkan azan di mas jid2 maupun disurau2..Amin. Wasallam.
Semoga Allah merahmati kita semua dan mengampuni segala dosa2 kita yang
lalu dan hari ini. Azan adalah dakwah yang paling utama sekali kerana
ianya mengajak kita membuat kebaikan dan mengingati Allah swt. Secara
tidak sedar kita sentiasa didakwah sebanyak 5 X sehari. Cubalah hayati
setiap perkataan dan jawaplah seperti yang disarankan. Bagi orang yang
melaungkan azan pula jika dia berniat untuk seluruh alam (spt yang
disarankan olih Allah kepada Nabi Ibrahim alaihisallam) muazin itu akan
mendapat pahala umat islam seluruh alam yang bersolat pada hari itu.
begitulah kelebihannya yang Allah beri. Wassallam.
ADAB MENDENGAR AZAN
Kematian itu pasti menjelma. Hanya mas a dan waktunya yang tidak kita
ketahui.Cuba kita amati. Mengapa kebanyakan orang yg nazak, hampir ajal
tidak dapat berkata apa-apa.. lidahnya kelu, k era s dan hanya mimik
mukanya yang menahan kesakitan ' sakaratul maut' . Diriwayatkan sebuah
hadis yg bermaksud: "Hendaklah kamu mendiamkan diri ketika azan, jika
tidak Allah akan kelukan lidahnya ketika maut menghampirinya."
Ini jelas menunjukkan, kita disarankan agar mendiamkan diri, jangan
berkata apa-apa pun se mas a azan berkumandang . Sebagai orang b era gama
Islam kita wajib
menghormati azan Banyak fadhilatnya . Jika lagu kebangsaan kita diajar
agar berdiri tegak dan diamkan diri.
Mengapa ketika azan kita tidak boleh mendiamkan diri? Lantas sesiapa yang
berkata-kata ketika azan, Allah akan kelukan lidahnya ketika nazak . Kita
takut dengan kelunya lidah kita se mas a ajal hampir tiba maka kita
tidak dapat mengucap kalimah "Lailahaillallah. ." yang mana sesiapa yang
dapat mengucapkan kalimah ini ketika nyawanya akan dicabut Allah dgn
izinNya menjanjikan syurga untuk mereka. Dari itu marilah kita sama-sama
menghormati azan dan mohon kepada Allah supaya lidah ini tidak kelu
se mas a nyawa kitasedang dicabut.
"Ya Allah! Anug era hkanlah kematian kami dengan kematian yang baik
lagi mulia, lancarkan lidah kami mengucap kalimah "Lailahaillallah. .."
se mas a sakaratul maut menghampiri kami. Amin.. amin.. amin
Yarobbala'lamin.."
Kita boleh mengirimkan ribuan 'jokes' dan ' surat b era ntai' melalui
e-mail tetapi bila mengirimkan yang berkaitan dengan ibadah seringkali
berfikir 2 atau 3 kali...FIKIRKAN LAH, tepuk dada tanya iman.

Makeup Tips: Make Your Eyes Look Larger ..SUPER EASY!
Hey all...
Do you want brighter, bigger eyes?
Well of course you do! Bigger eyes look youthful, alert, and animated!
Applying makeup to small eyes can be a challenge. Too much eye makeup can make small eyes appear even smaller while too little can cause them to appear insignificant. It’s important to strike a happy medium and choose colors that will open up and accent small eyes. Here are some small eye makeup tips that can help give your eyes that extra pop:
Small eye makeup tip: Prepare your eyes for makeup
Before applying eye makeup, eliminate any undereye swelling by applying cold compresses to your eyes for ten minutes. A package of frozen vegetables will work well for this purpose. Any fluid retention around your eyes will cause eyes to look smaller.
Small eye makeup tip: Begin with an undereye concealer
Dark circles under the eyes can make small eyes recede even more. Always start with a light application of undereye concealer in a shade that’s slightly lighter than your natural skin color. This will give the illusion of larger eyes while providing a nice base for eye your shadow.
Small eye makeup tip: Choose the right shade of eye shadow
If you want your small eyes to pop, choose an eye shadow shade that contrasts with your eye color. If you have blue eyes, brown shades are flattering and create the kind of contrast that makes eyes look larger and more significant. Purple shades do the same for brown eyes. Never wear a shadow that’s the same shade as your natural eye color and avoid choosing a shade that’s too dark as this can cause small eyes to recede even more. With small eyes, you need contrast to enhance them. Apply your chosen shade of shadow to the crease of the eye after applying a lighter shade such as a champagne color to serve as a base. The light shade will help to open up the eye and will contrast well with the darker shadow.
Small eye makeup tip: Line your eyes carefully
To make small eyes stand out more, keep your line thin and avoid uniformly lining the entire eye. This will make the eye look smaller. Keep the liner concentrated along the outer third of your eye and extend it slightly up beyond the corner to lift and open up your eyes. Avoid using a dark, overpowering shade of liner.
Small eye makeup tip: Curl your lashes
Curling your lashes will help to further open up your eyes and make them look larger. Once this is done, apply loose powder to your lashes before applying two light coats of mascara. The powder will prevent clumping which can further overpower your eyes. Apply mascara to upper lashes only to make eyes appear larger.
For evening, you can also apply a light, shimmering shade of eye shadow to the inner corner of your eyelids. This will open up the eyes and add additional sparkle and emphasis.
Personal Recommendation:
I've been using L’Oreal Open Eyes Pro Eye Shadow for few months and really in love with it...one of the make up palette that every gurls MUST HAVE!!

Red Lipstick..I love soooooooo much (^_^)
Hey all...
many girls dont like to wear red lipstick , they afraid from it . They thought that it will not look good on them , and they dont know which red tone is good for their skin . Here is some tips when you read it you will definitely can put a red lipstick , and you will look great with few tips.
****************************************************************
1. Don’t toss a red lipstick in a shade that doesn’t work : “Top it with a gold gloss to warm and soften it, or add a pink gloss to take it to the bluer side,” says makeup artist Maria Verel.
2 . Don’t play up your eyes.:”Pair red lipstick with the lightest possible eye makeup,” says lipstick designer Poppy King. A little mascara and beige shadow will do.
3. Coordinate your look : Dot a little smudge of the lipstick on the apples of your cheeks, then blend it with your fingers.
4.Don’t use red lip liner: If it doesn’t match your lipstick perfectly (and odds are it won’t), you’ll end up with a two-tone effect. If you like using liner, find a shade that’s close to your natural lip color and use it to outline your lips.
5. Avoid getting lipstick on your teeth. After applying, put your finger in your mouth, purse your lips around it, then slowly pull it out to remove excess color.
6. Avoid deep reds if you have thin lips : They tend to make lips look smaller.
this is some of the tips on how you can wear a red lipstick and i hope you guys find its useful...have a good day (^_^)
me in red lipstick...

Collagen Injections – Benefits, Cost & Side Effects
Collagen injections may help erase frown lines,smile lines. Collagen injections have been around for a while.
What Are Collagen Injections, and How Do They Work?
Collagen is the main protein found in connective tissue. It supports the skin, bone, cartilage and blood vessels. Collagen composes up to 80 percent of the skin. Its role is to maintain the skin's integrity, but collagen breaks down when you grow in age. Breaking down of collagen during the aging process can lead to wrinkles, lines and folds. Collagen injections replenish the skin's natural collagen.
Ideal Candidates for Collagen Injections
Optimal candidates for collagen injections are typically between the ages of 35 and 60 with frown lines, smile lines.
DOn't use collagen injections include those who are pregnant or nursing, people with allergies to cow products.
The Collagen Injection Procedure
Collagen is injected with a tiny needle into the skin depressions. Several injections may be needed, depending on the length and depth of the wrinkle. The procedure takes about an hour.
Recovery After Collagen Injections
You may experience some minimal discomfort from the collagen injection. There may be some swelling and bruising, usually, subsides within 48 hours. The treated area may look red for the first 24 hours, and this may last up to a week.
You can go home shortly after the procedure. The results are immediate and become fully evident within one week. In some cases, the treated area may appear to be overfilled initially. However, this will dissipate soon after to produce a more natural-looking appearance. Results may be unpredictable, lasting from two to three months.
Complications and Risks of Collagen Injections
Complications from collagen fillers are typically minimal. Some possible complications include uneven texture of the skin, an allergic reaction, infection, abscess and scarring.

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service where they had been on vacation.
Every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.
The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his life would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside.
The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color of the rainbow. Grand old trees graced the landscape, and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described all this in exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the scene.
One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man couldn't hear the band he could see it in his mind's eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.
Days and weeks passed. One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.
As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone. Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the world outside. Finally, he would have the joy of seeing it for himself. He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside the bed.
It faced a blank wall. The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window. The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall. She said, "Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you."
Epilogue...There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations. Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled. If you want to feel rich, just count all of the things you have that money can't buy.

for u hubby darling (^_^)
I found him and he found me, it took a long time, but it was destined to be..
How do I begin to tell you how lucky I am
to have you in my life?
I'll start by saying what an honor it is
for me to be your wife.
You're my best friend in the good times
and my rock in times of sorrow.
You're the reason for sweet yesterdays
and my promise for tomorrow.
I never thought I could feel this loved
until I became your wife.
You made this year and every year
the best one of my life.
