Beauty Crush: Ariana Miyamoto The First Bi-Racial MISS Universe Japan

Beauty Crush Ariana Miyamoto The First Bi-Racial MISS Universe Japan

This year back on March 12 Ariana Miyamoto made history by becoming the first ever bi-racial Miss Universe Japan! Although, her win caused quite a stir what she accomplished could not be silenced by internet trolls or nay-sayers. It wasn’t just the crown that had motivated Ariana to strive for greatness and for the ultimate beauty title in behalf of her country. Miyamoto explained,

“I was asked to join the competition in 2014 by an agency in Nagasaki, and although there were other biracial contestants, none of them won, so I declined, thinking I wouldn’t win anyway. But that same year, I had a biracial friend who killed himself, so for him I wanted to change Japan. I got an offer again this year, so I decided to enter.”

Miyamoto wants to continue to push boundaries of what is considered true beauty in Asian culture. Statistics show that bi-racial or mixed ethnicity children are on the rise in Japan so a strong voice is definitely needed to build esteem and confidence. Standing tall at 5’7 Ariana is up for the challenge to change public opinion. Nevertheless, this is not to say that the Asian community as a whole has not been supportive of her big win. Besides, receiving votes from 7 of the competition’s judges, Ariana says,

“I get voices of support from South Korea, and I think, these countries are neighbours but so different in their opinion of me.”

Ariana is definitely a gorgeous young lady and inspiration that beauty cannot be defined by a certain standard or preconceived list of features. Once again congratulations on your big win this year because we are crushing!

Diet Your Way to Longer Hair

Diet Your Way to Longer Hair

Now just so we are all on the same page we are not talking about those fad or drastic diets that can be quite harmful to your health in the long run. Nevertheless, it has been shown that a diet incorporating nutrients and protein can improve the condition of the hair keeping follicles strong. Which is great news because remember less breakage means length will be retained. Most women believe that their hair is not growing when in fact it is always growing. The issue is that when hair is not healthy or it breaks any length achieved is not noticeable.

It is recommended to add omega-3 oils into your diet to help get you on the way to Repunzel tresses. Nuts, almonds, supplements and salmon can help strengthen strands. One last word on dieting, if you are trying to grow your hair avoid yo-yoing at ALL costs. Such extreme dieting can cause stress and effect hormone levels thus affecting your hair.

How to Take a Great Photo

Alright ladies we have all summer to get you prepped for next school year’s picture day or if you just want to look fierce in your summer selfies and pics with friends you are going to want to keep reading! Some find great anxiety in taking photos whether for a very specific reason or just for kicks. However, there are a few things you can do to look more flawless.

1. Dress Accordingly– It can feel like one big fashion show on Instagram and Tumblr, but remember it is about you and not everyone else. Wear clothes that fit well and that are not too busy. That loud geometric print ensemble may look a little messy in a photo, remember that less can be more and streamline.

2. Check Yo’ Self– You would not believe how many times that hair can mess up an otherwise “perfect” photo. Always look yourself over or have a trusted friend check you out and fix accordingly.

3. Stay Up– Avoid the dreaded double chin look in photos by keeping your head up.

4. Beat the Jitters– If you tend to get nervous and look like a deer in the headlights try thinking happy thoughts. More specifically, before the photo is snapped look away for a second and think of something really funny then look back at the camera and smile.

5. Fake an Overcast– Did you know that when it is overcast outside it is actually an ideal time to take a photo? Well, now that summer is upon us you can still fake these ideal conditions by setting your camera’s flash in sunlight mode. Doing so, will actually help to even out skin tone.

6. Work Those Angles– Take a clue from celebrities who walk the red carpet, for the most part they NEVER face the camera straight on. Create a long diagonal line and ultimately slimming effect by placing one leg out in front and pivoting your body slightly to the side. Place one hand your hips and you have struck one of the most famous Hollywood poses!

Alright girls now get out there and work it!!!

Vashtie Kola and Puma S-S 2015 Collaboration

She is an accomplished director, filmaker, artist, designer and basically Instagram royalty. Easy on the eyes and the very talented Vashtie has paired up with Puma to create a stylish collection for summer. The collection is inspired by the B-boy and NYC skate subcultures of the 80’s and 90’s. So think bombers, tanks, jerseys and gold detailing. The grittiness and edge of the collection was encapsulated by the shoot which took place around a downtown metro station in Manhattan.

Today’s battle is between two ladies who are no strangers to the short hair club. The hairstyle we are throwing into the ring of tress fire is The Crop. Solange Knowles’ version was a nice twist thanks to her showcasing her natural curls. However, Eva Marcille still takes some swings due to her daring platinum blonde hair color.

Therefore, who wins this hair war? Well, as always it was a tough choice that came down to one vote of a staff member. The winner is Eva for her hair color bravery!
