On Beauty: Anti Aging Creams

At what age?
Do they work?What is your opinion on wrinkle creams?

Let's confess ladies.

Be Inspired Monday: Mi-Inspiration

Sometimes we talk about how celebrities inspire us but there are so many NON-celebrity women out there that inspire so much. Saturday we featured Miesha, the blogger behind Mi-Inspire... healthy lifestyle transformation, a blogger we fell in love with because she is a true inspiration because through her life transformation she shows us what means to have a focus, determination and motivation to achieve a healthy and fullfilling lifestyle.

Miesha's letter made us think about the importance of giving oneself a good advice from young age and looking at life through positive lenses. And TC30s love living life as best as we can live it.
We hope many people could re-read these lines:

Never allow anyone else to dictate or control your life. As an adult you are
capable of making your own decisions. You may not always make the right choices but the key is learning from your mistakes and moving forward. A person that says they love you does not abuse you, whether that be mental or physical abuse. A person that says they love you does not take from you either. At the first signs of abusive behavior hit the road and never look back. The backlash of abuse can been felt for many years in ways that you'll never imagine.

It is okay to seek help when you feel like you are battling something that you no longer have control over. You are not a failure because you are not perfect. Nobody is perfect. It is not healthy to try to live up to others' expectations for your life. Your family history does not have to set the precedence for your life. Watching your mother get abused doesn't mean that you have to be abused. Choose a better path for yourself. Surround yourself with positive, nurturing people that only have your best interest at heart.

We believe that to do better in life one must surround her/himself with positive and nurturing people. Positive thinking is a true key to success!

We hope this letter inspires you on today's Be Inspired Monday.

Celebrating Our 30s!: Miesha

There are some bloggers that you meet and right away you are fascinated by their story.  

Miesha is one of those bloggers.  

Her story is incredible and we are honored to share her with TC30 readers! 

Miesha is truly an inspiration in the blogging world for many reasons.  

First reason, she is that she is DETERMINED, second reason, she is MOTIVATED, 

third reason, she is 30 and fourth reason, she is FABULOUS!

We give these reasons (and there are many more) not because she's lost over 100lbs 

(with exercise and proper eating), 

but because she has transformed her life inside and out.  

On her blog, Mi-Inspire...healthy lifestyle transformation, 

she chronicles her story of weight-loss, healthy living and her life as a mother to two beautiful girls.  

She inspires us and we hope she inspires you too!

Below she writes a letter to her 20-something self because in her 30s, she is realizing that life is filled with ups and downs, but there is definitely a lot of joy in the adventure!  

Enjoy her but most importantly, be inspired by her!

A letter to my 20-something self:

Dear Miesha Roshawn,

You may not understand the purpose of this letter right now but I hope one day you will appreciate this advise. There are so many things I'd like to tell you, but I acknowledge only a few of these things will matter in the end. First of all, there is no man walking this earth that will love you in the way that God loves you. Besides that, all others are secondary factors. The love that you show him will be reflected in the way that you treat and love yourself. Actions should always speak louder than words and when a person shows you who they are..PAY ATTENTION!

Never allow anyone else to dictate or control your life. As an adult you are capable of making your own decisions. You may not always make the right choices but they key is learning from your mistakes and moving forward. A person that says they love you does not abuse you, whether that be mental or physical abuse. A person that says they love you does not take from you either. At the first signs of abusive behavior hit the road and never look back. The backlash of abuse can been felt for many years in ways that you'll never imagine.

It is okay to seek help when you feel like you are battling something that you no longer have control over. You are not a failure because you are not perfect. Nobody is perfect. It is not healthy to try to live up to others' expectations for your life. Your family history does not have to set the precedence for your life. Watching your mother get abused doesn't mean that you have to be abused. Choose a better path for yourself. Surround yourself with positive, nurturing people that only have your best interest at heart.

Always take good care of yourself. Keep your weight in check and learn how to eat right. Obesity is a disease that is claiming the lives of so many people. Generally this is something that can be prevented. There is nothing better than taking care of and loving yourself. Others might call it "vain" but who cares, you only get one body to live in so please treat it right. Pick and choose wisely the people that you have intimate relationships with. Diseases are real and condoms will never go out of style. Also be very careful with whom you choose to have children with. Although kids are a blessing, everyone is not special enough to hold the title of "parent." Ideally wait until you are married to have kids, in this day in age it's not the normal thing to do but hold your ground and stick to what you believe in.

There will be many bumps in the road and you have what it takes to be successful at conquering them. You are smart and beautiful and worth so much more than what you've settled for. You can and will pull yourself up when you fall down and make all of your dreams become a reality. Use your God given talents, they bring so many people joy. Last but not least never give up on yourself!

Love Always, Me

On Beauty: How To Great Skin

Okay ladies!!!

I was reading an expert tip on beauty which I would like to share with you today. It was given by Elle Macpherson, an Australian supermodel, mother and business woman.

She explains how to achieve a great skin "... I hydrate and nourish my skin from the inside with antioxidants. So for breakfast I have yoghurt with manuka honey, sunflower and pumpkin seeds. And I make smoothies with carrot, ginger and apple, which gives me energy as well as feeding my skin. I also drink three litres of water a day."

There you have it ladies.

As much as we take care of our skin on outside we need to take care of it from the inside as well. Out of the three things she listed, I like the breakfast tip and the water tip. Not everyone can drink three liters therefore if you can drink 2litres that's a great way to start taking care of your skin from the inside.

I believe we don't need to be supermodels to feel great and a have great skin from the inside-out.

Do you have any tip on how to have a great skin?

Please confess on TC30s.
