								<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My curly, wild and thick hair can go crazy when I travel to places with different climates. THIS IS HOW I TAME IT.</p>
<div id="erdyt-664186ca9e1e5" data-id="664186ca9e1e5" class="erd-youtube-responsive erd-ytlazyload"   style="width:100%;max-width:100%;margin:0 auto;display:block;clear:both;position:relative;"><div style="padding-bottom:56.25%;"><div class="erd-ytplay" id="erdytp-664186ca9e1e5" data-vid="CP9RT5ZsDvs" data-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/CP9RT5ZsDvs?rel=0&autoplay=1"><img src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/CP9RT5ZsDvs/hqdefault.jpg" alt="YouTube video" /></div></div></div>
<h2>These are my favourite tips:</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Use conditioner FIRST then shampoo</strong><br />
It makes shampooing so much easier and you can get to every part of your scalp without tangling anything</li>
<li><strong>Shampoo bars are a must if you&#8217;re travelling</strong><br />
I love these little shampoo circles. They&#8217;re so cute, and all you need to do it put it under water and lather a little. It&#8217;ll foam up just like regular shampoo</li>
<li><strong>Don&#8217;t rip your hair, EVER.</strong><br />
It&#8217;s tempting to pull on your hair and rip it when it snags, but that will damage your hair and make it frizzy</li>
<li><strong>Invest in a good brush</strong><br />
I wasn&#8217;t too picky about the kind of brush I used on my hair, but after trying the Tangle Teezer I learned just how important it is to have a quality brush to invest in</li>
</ul>
<h2>The products I talked about in the video are:</h2>
<p>1) Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Moist Treatment &#8211; <a href="https://amzn.to/2qytOHI">Get it here</a></p>
<p>2) Tangle Teezer &#8211; <a href="https://amzn.to/2SVEwFh">Get it here</a></p>
<p>3) Lush Shampoo Bars &#8211; Sadly they don&#8217;t sell them online, you have to get them in store</p>
<p>4) OUAI Hair Oil &#8211; <a href="https://amzn.to/2RH8Fqa">Get it here</a></p>
<p>5) GHD Hair Straightener &#8211; <a href="https://amzn.to/2PRZt5q">Get it here</a></p>

								<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>MABUHAY!! I&#8217;m Alexan, 21 years old from the Philippines and I have naturally curly hair.</p>
<blockquote><p>Here in the Philippines, we have this saying &#8220;basta kulot, salot&#8221; meaning &#8220;if you are curly then you are a pest&#8221;.</p></blockquote>
<p>But that&#8217;s not true. Do not let your physical appearance define who you are. Let&#8217;s prove to everybody, both men and women of all ages that we are more than our hair, and we are beautiful beings.</p>
<p>Curly or not, black or white, straight or gay, we should all be confidently beautiful with a heart. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/1f60a.png" alt="😊" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/12.0.0-1/72x72/1f496.png" alt="💖" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>

								<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><em>This guest post was written by <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/saras.take/">Sara Mahendran</a></span>. Thanks Sara for sharing your story! Check out more of her take on things by heading over to her blog, <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://sarastake.com">sarastake.com</a></span>.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">As crazy as it sounds, it’s true. I was told off for <strong>not</strong> showing enough skin.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The customary practice for Indian women in their 20s and above (when attending weddings) is to wear a traditional outfit that shows off the belly. At traditional events, you’ll find women of all ages and sizes wearing traditional outfits that bare their midriffs.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><iframe class="giphy-embed" src="https://giphy.com/embed/3d4NMOeWyRkB4v9PBl" width="480" height="270" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">But here’s the thing. There was a wedding coming up and I didn’t want to bare my belly. And when I decided to cover up, the women in my family strongly disapproved:</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em>“If us old ladies can show our bellies how come you can’t?”</em><br />
<em>“If you just showed your stomach you would look so beautiful and sexy.”</em><br />
<em>“If you can show your legs up till here, why can’t you show a little bit of your belly, eh?”</em></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Their reactions threw me off and got me upset. Because I knew that my family would flip if I wore a crop top with pants, but if I wore it as part of a traditional outfit, it’s awesome. So why couldn&#8217;t I just cover my stomach?</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">And let me just put another layer on this &#8212; if you know Indian culture, you’ll know that dishonour is a big thing.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">So by going against the customary practices &#8212; by simply trying to dress modestly, I was ‘bringing dishonour’ to my family.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><iframe class="giphy-embed" src="https://giphy.com/embed/pHO09vwgRTqLu" width="480" height="348" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">I was really upset with the culture, and confused with why things had to be this way. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">It caused a bit of friction with my family at first. But after some time, some talking, and trying to keep an open mind, I was able to see that <strong>my family really just was trying to look out for me in their own way.</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">And as someone who didn’t want to show my stomach, it came across as strange to my family who just wanted nothing more than me to look good. It’s kinda like how they might also suggest getting my nails done or getting a new hairstyle. Imagine if I got upset at the idea of a new pedicure!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">But looking at the bigger picture here, what I’m trying to say is that different people have different conceptions of what is nice and what is not. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">And because cultures and contexts are so conflicting all the time, people are going to praise you and shame you over virtually the same thing.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><iframe class="giphy-embed" src="https://giphy.com/embed/7JBt9AISAdUVHIIH0n" width="480" height="270" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">So my solution is simply to accept that everyone has their own right to their opinions. As long as we’re not breaking a law or seriously offending people (by dressing extremely inappropriately), it should be okay to wear what you want.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Well, that’s my take at least. What do you think? Drop a comment below to share your thoughts, and check out my video on this too!</span></p>

								<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This video is for the many women on Instagram who have asked me “Dear Alyne, HOW do you do your eyeliner?!”</p>
<div id="erdyt-664186caa5a90" data-id="664186caa5a90" class="erd-youtube-responsive erd-ytlazyload"   style="width:100%;max-width:100%;margin:0 auto;display:block;clear:both;position:relative;"><div style="padding-bottom:56.25%;"><div class="erd-ytplay" id="erdytp-664186caa5a90" data-vid="yVnQvyUo4-Y" data-src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/yVnQvyUo4-Y?rel=0&autoplay=1"><img src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/yVnQvyUo4-Y/hqdefault.jpg" alt="YouTube video" /></div></div></div>
<p>It&#8217;s simple!</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Do the arch</strong><br />
&#8211; Start at the inner corner of your eye<br />
&#8211; Just do thin, light strokes at first<br />
&#8211; Then make the line thicker as you reach the outer corner of your eye</li>
<li><strong>Do the wing</strong><br />
&#8211; Draw the line from the outer corner of your eye towards the end of your eyebrow<br />
&#8211; Fill in the gaps by drawing a triangle from the end of the wing to the middle of your eye</li>
<li><strong>Bonus tips!</strong><br />
&#8211; Tilt your head back when doing the wing or it&#8217;s gonna be JANKY<br />
&#8211; Hold your breath when you do the wing, cause you can really mess it up if you breathe and your face moves</li>
</ol>
<p>And that&#8217;s it! Watch the video if you haven&#8217;t already so you know EXACTLY how to draw it.</p>
