We all know that make-up can be a very powerful tool in enhancing one's beauty. It can transform people into unrecognizable of their former selves.

Vadim Andreev, a beauty expert from Russia, has taken unbelievable before-and-after photos of women with and without makeup to show that they don't need to resort to plastic surgery to look beautiful.

We bring you some of these transformations. Some of them done by Vadim Andreev and some by other talented makeup artists.






The 29-year-old chronicled his makeovers on his website, which shows women of all ages and races before and after Vadim changed their faces with the help of simple makeup brush and lot of eyeliners! He adds he doesn't believe in heavy make-up. These are normal day to day make-up secrets he says. Everybody can use them.




These women aren't models per se but they do prove the point, which is that anyone can look stunning with the right make-up and lighting. If that doesn't make you feel less insecure, we don't know what will!

amazingly creative cakes

No birthday party is complete without a delicious cake to share with your guests, but sometimes, a cake that tastes good just isn’t enough. A big mouthwatering cake with cool design on it, certainly keeps you at the centre of attraction. Especially, kids love it when their birthday is made grand by Thomas the Tank Engine or Batman and Spiderman etc. There is hardly anyone among us who doesn't love a delicious cake.


On that note we have collected some super cool cakes for you. Try any of these for the upcoming birthday and have a blast!

Who says that amazing birthday cakes have to take lots of effort? Frost a chocolate cake with chocolate icing, add colourful candy beans and chocolate fingers and tie it all up with a big bow, and you have a wow-factor birthday cake – with minimal artistic skills!





This pretty daisy cake is just perfect for a ladies’ summer birthday party – even if the sunshine is a no-show!








There’s never a reason to be blue on your birthday, even if your favorite cartoon is! This baker rounded up the entire Smurf Village for Alex’s birthday party. We love how the cake looks alive with Smurfs running in and out (and about!), and even down to the expressions that let us know who is who! Brainy Smurf, Sleepy Smurf, Handy Smurf


The cutest sidekicks to ever grace the big screen will now take over your birthday party! This bakery knew that one wouldn’t be enough to share and made two minions for this lucky kiddo’s birthday. Look at those smiles that made us fall in love with the minions in the first place!

brain and heart: listening is important



Women like silent men. They think they're listening.

We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.

Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you'd have preferred to talk.

"Silent" and "listen" are spelled with the same letters.

The most precious gift we can offer anyone is our attention.

The easiest way to meet people is to just look like someone who is willing to listen.

No one is listening until you fart.

Independence Day (FilipinoAraw ng Kasarinlan; also Araw ng Kalayaan, lit. "Day of Freedom") is an annual national holiday in thePhilippines observed on June 12, commemorating the Philippine Declaration of Independence from Spain on June 12, 1898. It is the country's National Day.

History[edit]

The Flag of the United States of America is lowered while the Flag of the Philippines is raised during the Independence Day ceremonies on July 4, 1946
The Philippine Revolution began in August 1896. In December 1897, the Pact of Biak-na-Bato, an agreement between the Spanish colonial government and the revolutionaries, created a truce between the parties. Under terms of this agreement, Emilio Aguinaldoand other revolutionary leaders went into exile in Hong Kong.[2]
At the outbreak of the Spanish-American War, Commodore George Dewey sailed from Hong Kong to Manila Bay leading the Asiatic Squadron of the U.S. Navy. On May 1, 1898, the Dewey defeated the Spanish in the Battle of Manila Bay. Later that month, the U.S. Navy transported Aguinaldo back to the Philippines.[3]
On June 12, 1898, Aguinaldo led the declaration of Philippine independence from Spanish colonial rule. Philippines independence was not recognized either by the United States of America or by Spain. The Spanish government later ceded the Philippine archipelago to the United States in the 1898 Treaty of Paris. The Philippines Revolutionary Government did not recognize the treaty. When the Americans sought to execute the terms of the treaty, a three-year conflict, now called the Philippine-American War, ensued.[4][5]
The US granted independence to the Philippines on July 4, 1946 through the Treaty of Manila.[6]
July 4, the date chosen by the United States because it corresponds to its Independence Day, was observed in the Philippines asIndependence Day until 1962. On May 12, 1962, President Diosdado Macapagal issued Presidential Proclamation No. 28, which declared Thursday, June 12 a special public holiday throughout the Philippines, "... in commemoration of our people's declaration of their inherent and inalienable right to freedom and independence.[7]" On August 4, 1964, Republic Act No. 4166 renamed July 4 holiday as "Philippine Republic Day", proclaimed June 12 as "Philippine Independence Day", and enjoined all citizens of the Philippines to observe the latter with befitting rites.[8]
Prior to 1964, June 12 had been observed as Flag Day, which was moved to 28 May (the date the Philippine Flag was first flown in battle in Alapan, Imus, Cavite in 1898).
