My bucket list

I think that everyone, more our less, has a bucket list. Some kind of to do list before you die. mine as been about travelling. I have a number of different places i want to go before i leave this life. Obviously, i would like to finish my studies, see my kids grow up and have kids of their own, start a business, adopt a child, and so on... but travelling has to be top of my list. Here are some of the must go places for me: 

• Mozambique, were my roots come from. Is just somewhere i really have to go, besides, i'm sure is gorgeous!

• Second is Brazil. I grew up with a lot of Brazilian people around me and i feel like it's somehow part of me. I just now i'm not gonna be disappointed. I already now the whole city of Rio de Janeiro from the research i did and just from watching so many programs on TV. If everything goes according to plane i'll go in 2013 :) 

• In third has to be New York! All throughout my childhood i was bombarded with TV shows, films, commercials and etc... seeing does skyscrapers, the smoke in the streets, the glamour and the crowded streets i just couldn't help falling in love with that city. 

• Forth place is Italy. Is so close but somehow so far. I think is one of does trips that is just gonna happen, so i don´t really make many planes. 

 After this i would like to go to Prague, all of France, Amsterdam, if possible California, Australia, mexico, Cuba, Vietnam and a few others. So ideally for me, i would go to at least one of this every years until i get fed up with travelling ( as if =D ).In the meanwhile, i keep doing the normal. Just going back home to Portugal every now and then and continuing to discover England, that has so much to offer!

Eyebrow threading

I have been doing my eyebrows with tweezers and wax since i was 13. A few years ago, in Lisbon, i saw a stand with some Brazilian girls threading eyebrows on the shopping mall and i got really curious, so i gave it a try. I have using this method ever since! it's the most precise, inexpensive, long lasting ,less painful of the three. so if you are septic about it, i think you should give it a go. It's brilliant! I only have one piece of advice, if, like me, you don't wanna end up with eyebrows the size of a dental floss line, make sure you make it clear to the beauty technician. The tend to get too carried away! I also found this text in a web site that i think illustrate the process really well:



" For those who have never heard about this technique, threading is a hair removal practice that uses a thread made of 100% cotton. The cotton thread is twisted and rolled along the surface of the skin, entwining hairs in the thread, which are then lifted quickly from the follicle. My experience was painless and it was certainly interesting to watch the beauty technician work the thread. Eyebrow threading originates from India and the Middle East region. It’s considered an ancient art of hair removal that has been practiced for centuries among the most beautiful women of Asia and the Middle East. This technique can help you get that ‘arch-with-attitude’ look that you’ve been looking for, as well as help tidy up the temple, upper lip and other facial areas. Recommended by many dermatologists, if you are someone with sensitive skin and suffer breakouts from waxing or harsh depilatory creams, you will find relief after switching to threading. Eyebrow threading is very precise and allows the beauty specialists greater control than compared to waxing, giving you a more attractive eyebrow shape."
