What Kind of Girl Are You?

Get Rihanna-Legs

The sun is out and at this moment, don't you just wish you had Rihanna's legs?? Long, lean, bronze, and oh so sexy! It's no wonder why she loves to wear dresses. I would too if I had those legs. I love her legs. If only, you know.. If only.. With those legs + the weather, it's absolutely the perfect time to get those short shorts and those frilly skirts out and flaunt what your Mama gave ya. Or not. Cuz don't fret girls. You don't have to be tall, slim, or Barbadian for that matter. All you need is to follow these 5 simple steps that Cosmo has in store for you.

1. Go Bare

How else would your legs look hot and sexy if not by going bare? Yeap, do whatever you gotta do to keep it hairless! Shave, Wax, Lather, anything! Just remember to use a really sharp razor if you decide to shave. Using a razor that's got 3 or 4 blades is certainly the best! Also, opt to shave right after you're done showering and everything. It's best to shave when the hair is softer and easier to remove. Remember to hold the skin taut and shave in the opposite direction of hair growth. Oh, and always use a shaving cream! Never attempt to shave without any lubricating cream. That would cause irritation, and worse of all, ingrown hair!

If you're the type that can stand a bit more pain, then you should definitely consider waxing. It's way better than shaving since it removes hair from the follicle and it keeps your legs bare longer than just a few days!

2. Soften the Skin

Scrub up. Like my Mommy always says, "Never forget to scrub," she tells me. She swears by her weekly scrubs and I gotta tell you, her skin is way softer than mine. At an age double of mine, I gotta say that that really is impressive! So as her advice, SCRUB SCRUB SCRUB! Be sure to get a gentle exfoliating body scrub that has moisturizing oils to prevent dryness and dullness. Also, don't forget to scrub in circular motions especially around those scaly knees and ankles.

3. Tan 'Em Up

We Malaysians are lucky that we're not stuck with pale stick legs! We've got that natural tan that looks extra sexy if we just keep 'em scrubbed and moisturized everyday! If you think your legs are getting a bit too pale, then just go out in the sun more often and get that nice tan. If you're afraid of the sun like most women are, get some self-tanning cream that you can get almost anywhere these days. You should also lather up with lotions that have a shimmery effect that will make your legs look ultra sultry!

4. Get a Flawless Finish

Ok, this happens to me a lot! I get up from the couch and bam! My leg hits the coffee table and I end up with a bruise! That wouldn't look too pretty if you wanna show off them legs now would it? So what do you do? Ice the are a.s.a.p. to prevent it from swelling up. Do this everyday if you're not planning to go anywhere. If you've got that luncheon planned with your girlfriends and you wanna wear your beautiful sundress, then disguise the bruise with concealer and a bit of light reflecting makeup. It works wonders! You can also do this to birthmarks, spider veins or even stretch marks!

5. Pedicure!

It wouldn't do any good if you've got the hottest legs in town, but really ugly toes! It's really important to keep those toes pretty. Remember to have those toenails cut straight and not rounded as it can cause the nails to grow into the surrounding skin. Also, do not forget to file your nails as we wouldn't want your toenails to become your weapon of choice!

If you've got really rough skin around your feet, always buff away those spots with a really good buffer. You can get one at Body Shop. If you wanna save cost, go to your nearest river and take some 'batu sungai' or river stones. They're really good for scrubbing! Seriously!

Lastly, with all that buffing and trimming and moisturizing and shimmering, deck your toenails with a really nice shade! And that's it! You're done! Don't hide beneath those cargo pants and start showing your 'Rihanna legs'

Gifts for Mothers Day

I'm sure most of you are already thinking of ideas as to what to give to your beloved mother~! Of course you'd wanna come up with the best gift to cherish your one and only mother right? After all, mothers only deserve the best~!

But too bad, not all of us (like me!) can afford a really cool gift such as a gift voucher for a day at the spa to give our moms! So here are a few ideas that doesn't require that much money at all but only a whole lotta love from the heart, that will definitely make you eligible for the daughter/son of the year award!!

Surprise Her With Bed-In-Breakfast! Since Mothers Day falls on a weekend, I'm sure there's no excuse to be too busy to prepare breakfast for her! Try to find out what she loves to have for breakfast and surprise her with your own prepared meal in bed! If she happens to love 'nasi lemak', well you could always drive out to get some right? And if she's not the bed-in-breakfast type, set the table with fresh flowers and a card to surprise her! I'm sure that'll set her mood bright and early in the day!

Make A Scrapbook! Collect old pictures of your Mom and the family and make a nice scrapbook with dried flowers, stickers, and decorations that would make her heart melt! This one would definitely hit home~!

Make Your Own Card! If you aren't creative enough to make a whole scrapbook, a handmade card will do.. But creativity doesn't really matter right. She'll appreciate the effort you've put in to make her day special~! So I suggest a scrapbook.. ;P

Send Her A Letter! Write a letter for your Mother and tell her just how much you appreciate her. Be sincere about it. After all, life's too short to feel awkward about letting your feelings known. Seize the day by telling her how much you love her. I'm sure most of us have forgotten to tell our mothers just that~!

Be Her Personal 'Maid' For The Whole Day! Your mother endured 9 months of carrying you around, plus labour!, and has raised you to be the gorgeous person that you are! The least you can do is to be in her service for one whole day. I'm sure she'd really appreciate that~!

Make A Short Home Video! I'm sure most of you are tech savvy enough to be able to create your own home video! So why don't you put your IT knowledge to great use by surprising your Mother with a cool home video you've created. You don't need to be a pro at it.. Just use Windows Movie Maker that's very simple to use and which is already installed in every Windows XP, to create a heartfelt movie of your Mother! For more dramatic effect, find some really sappy songs like 'A Song For Mama' by Boyz II Men to integrate with the movie! This will earn you major pointers!!

So have fun with your new ideas and hope you all have a blast celebrating Mothers Day! =)

Get Red!

Sandra Bullock looked absolutely stunning in this dark crimson dress by Alberta Ferretti during the annual Costume Institute gala~!

Following this hot season, go get your lips flaming red as it never fails to make a stunner out of every gal~! Create a look as simple and as gorgeous as Bullock with a stunning cut dress that reveals your neck and remember to wear minimal accessories. Exchange heavy accessories with a red hot lippie that will absolutely attract attention~!

As I'm sure most girls would never dare to go red, just note that all you need to do is find a shade that compliments your skin tone. For those with fair skin, you could pull off a really true shade of red. But for those with a darker skin tone, get a darker shade of red that's brownish-mahogany. Once you've got that perfect shade of red, you're ready to hit the clubs~! ;)

Independent Woman

Take the test to actually check out how independent you are! It's a great reality check for all you ladies out there! I for one used to be very independent. When I say used to, that was before I met Rafiq! hehehe.. I used to go everywhere and do everything alone! Yeah, I was a real loner!

Now the boyfriend pampers me way too much for my own good! That's what happens when you have that kinda boyfriend. I'm not saying it's bad though.. But don't ever forget yourself and depend too much on someone. Always have a sense of autonomy to keep your self-respect and confidence intact~!

Like they say, never make someone your everything, cuz when they're gone you're left with nothing!

My Results

You Are 52% Independent

Overall, you're a pretty independent woman. You don't follow trends just to fit in. You've got your own cool thing going on, though you sometimes still care too much about what other's think.

How Independent Are You?

Show Off Those Legs

It's hot! It's scorching hot! No, I don't mean the weather... Well, actually yeah.. the weather! But what I'm really talking about are this season's shorts tailored for our hot climate! At least it's something we Malaysian babes can pull of without looking silly; like knee high boots and fur coats!

It's the time for us girls to show off our legs and pair 'em with funky flip flops for daytime or those diva stilts for a girls' night out! Although they are a wee bit last year, shorts are still going on strong this season!

For those of you who still haven't got at least a pair, head off to MNG or Zara where you can get multicolored shorts in various lengths! Both tall and short babes can pull it off short! It'll enhance the legs for us, shorter ones! ;) But don't think Kylie Minogue short ok! Keep it chic!

Just remember, when you wanna go short, don't team it up with a plain shirt without any accessories. Well, unless you're going for the 'pasar malam nyonya' look. Pair shorts with trendy tops, funky bangles and a cool bag! That way, your look will never go wrong, whether it's for a hot date, or for college!

A quick reminder before you go bare, don't forget to wax~! ;P

Give Yourself Some Lovin'

When was the last time you told yourself you were beautiful? When was the last time you gave yourself a pat on the back for getting through another rough day as a woman? When was the last time you gave yourself a treat for all the hard work you've done for staying alive and kicking?

Well, if it's been a while, then today should be the day you learn to love yourself! I know some of you have already lost self love when your parents told you your grades weren't good enough, or your boyfriend cheated on you and said you were too fat, or the fact that you harassed by the office perv! Well from now on, start pumping yourself with all the positive energy that you once had! Cuz baby, you know that you can't give love until you have love to give!

Forgot how to?? Well here are some great steps to live by from now on!

Stop Self Criticism! Stop letting that lil mind creature in your head tell you that you're not worth it! You know for a fact that you're as good as anybody else. Don't you have anyone say otherwise! Not even yourself! So whenever you hear your thought running negative, counter it by saying something positive about yourself!

Treat Yourself! Buy those pair of shoes you were eyeing last week. Treat yourself with a scoop of that Jamoca Almond Fudge after your crazy diet! You know you deserve it!!

Give Yourself Credit! Acknowledge yourself for all the right things you've done. It doesn't really matter what it is you've done. You don't need to win a Noble Prize in order to feel self worth! Instead, give yourself a hug for driving your sis to school, or for finishing that assignment that took forever, or for picking great shoes to match your bag! ;) Always remind yourself how fantastic you are and that you're doing a great job at it!

Take Care Of Your Body! Make sure you treat your body with loadsa TLC! It's not only the mind that needs loving but your physical body too! Some girls tend to forget they need to exercise, not just to lose weight but to keep fit! The only person that you can totally rely on to love you forever is yourself! Eat lots of vitamins and other supplements! Keep your body healthy and live to 100!!

Accept Compliments! I know most of you girls out there find it so hard to accept compliments! Stop this sort of behaviour as it will only strengthen negativity you already feel about yourself. Next time, learn how to say "Thank You!" or if you're confident, say "I Know!" and end it with a smile! Wouldn't want people to think you're a snob and a half~!! Besides, without saying "Thank You!" or any form of positive reply, some people might feel offended that you didn't acknowledge their generosity! So the next time someone tells you your dress is awesome, stop saying, "Hmmm..he he.." or "Ehhh, No laaah.." "Oh, this dress is old!" or even worse, quickly look the other way and pretend you didn't hear anything in the hopes that someone would change the subject!!

Make A Love Note...! To yourself! Make a list of things you love about yourself! Maybe it's the great smile you have. The witty charm. Your creativity. Anything! Remind yourself what you love about YOU and you might just fall in love with yourself again! ;)
