Why?

Why do I have to be so honest? I always have to open my big mouth. I find myself in situations where I keep apologizing for what I said. But then I wonder , why do I have to apologize for being honest? I get that some things have to stay private. But being honest is a part of me. It's one of those things people use to describe me.

Like for example: today something happened during class which my friend wanted to keep private. But me with my big mouth was telling that "something" happened. I didn't tell my classmates her name. And yet still she still heard it from people. And she wasn't to happy about it. Shortly after that she wrote a whatsapp message. And I instantly knew it was about me.

And that made me feel so bad. As honest and direct as I am I sent her message. I apologized for what I said. And promised her to never say something before thinking about it. And this wasn't even so bad. But it really got me thinking: " should I think before I speak? Do I need to shut my mouth at certain times? ". Of course I do. But I also think that it depends on the situation. For example : when I'm mad at someone I tend to say things that will hurt them. While in my heart I know I shouldn't. But at time I'm so angry, I really can't think straight anymore.

The reason I am writing this blog is because today we had interesting class. It was about our characteristics. And one the things people said about me that I was insecure and clumsy. And they were all right. I am insecure and clumsy but I'm also direct, disciplined and a hard worker. But our class mentor said something that really got to me. He said : " you can be honest, you can be tough, but be aware of the fact that you eventually will end up building a wall around you". I said nothing. But I instantly knew that this is what I've been doing for several years now. I need to learn to express myself more. People think I'm tough? I'm not. I pretend to be. People sometimes think I say thing for spite. I don't. I'm honest.

What I'm trying to say is "think before you speak". Word sometimes can cut like a knife.

PS: This blog may be shorter than you would normally expect. This is because I wrote this on my phone! xoxo

Long time?

Hiii! How are you guys? I wanna know, since it has been such a long time I blogged! So what have I been up to lately? Well, my life is BUSY. Busy I'll tell you! School is just taking up all my time lately. And when I do have some time, I want to relax. So that's why I haven't been really blogging actively after the colgate review. 

But I'm thinking of just blogging randomly for really long time. But because I was previously blogging about beauty and all that kind of jazz. I really do not want to change that. So what do you guys think? Should I switch to daily random blogs, or stick to beauty ? Please let me know in the comments below!

So in september last year I started my a course at the Hogeschool van Amsterdam! And I thought that it was going to be really easy, little as no homework. But guess what? This bitch was wrong. Yes, I was. 

This course I'm following is called Media, Information and Communication. And I was like chillin' on the first day. I was like: " Hell yeah, I'm going to nail this" . But NO. This course is harder than thought guys. School is like busting my ass. I'm buried under my homework. That basically sucks.

I'll try to squeeze in a blog once in a while! Forgive me if ain't always updating! School is just one the important things in my life after work and family. 

But if you guys have any requests, questions or whatsoever, you can always mail me on itsmefarhaa@gmail.com! And I'll try to respond to you ASAP!

Love,

Colgate MaxWhite One Review

Whaduupp y'all! How are you guys doing? Well I'm fine, just to let you know! ;-) But let's get to the point. Today I'm reviewing the new Colgate line ( see : http://itsmefarhaa.blogspot.nl/2012/11/just-in-colgate-maxwhite-one.html ).

Let's start!

Colgate promises that within a week, your teeth will be one shade whiter. So below you see pictures of all of the new products!

What I think of the products? Okay, so I have been using the toothbrush, toothpaste, and mouthwash for a week now. It really does make your teeth whiter, but for me it was just that first layer of yellowness on your teeth which it removed.

I think if you have to use it a little longer, your teeth will be much whiter. Also I loved that after brushing your teeth and using the mouthwash, your mouth really smells fresh. I have been using Aquafresh my entire life. And now that I tried the new Colgate line I really am considering using Colgate instead of Aquafresh.

All and all, I really loved these products. It really does make your teeth whiter, but to really see that, I'll just have to use it a little longer!

Prizes? The toothbrush is €3,79, the mouthwash is €6,49 and the toothpaste is €3,99.

Love,

Colgate MaxWhite One Products

The first impression is very important for young professionals.
During the first few seconds of an introduction you already have an opinion about the other person. This is true, especially for young professionals at the beginning of their career.That first impression says a lot about their "promise" for the future. Young professionals can therefore use some confidence to make a good first impression. They step out of their comfort so easily from the safe world of study and enter a world full of ambition that is completely new for them. A radiant smile is the most important accessory for young professionals in creating a good first impression.

Career Psychologist Rose Woltering about the importance of a good first impression, "We are not easily released from the first impression we make. The 'halo' and' horn' effects make to it that we automatically get positive (halo) or negative (horn). That means that if we judge someone in a positive way, we will generalize to other characteristics. You understand what a radiant smile can do for you. " Do's and don'ts for a positive first impression

Colgate wants to help these young professionals achieving their ambitions and therefore Colgate gives them a nudge in the right direction. On Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/ColgateNederland) Colgate gives tips on how to get through the day when you have an important meeting. What you should wear and what not? And some more do's and don'ts for a good first impression? All important information and inspiration for a good appearance and  agood conversation can be found on the Facebook page of Colgate.

MaxOvers, the ultimate tool for achieving goals
To really help young professionals in every conceivable way to prepare them for the future and to help their ambitions, Colgate gives some MaxOvers  through Facebook. This MaxOver gives the kickstart of the careers of young professionals. An MaxOver includes career coaching, personal styling advice, an iPad 3, an career goodie bag, a styling voucher worth 400 euros, a professional photo shoot and a year package Colgate MaxWhite One. Colgate assures that young professionals confidently can achieve their ultimate goals.
 
So aren't you excited? I'm reviewing these products! At the end of the week, the review will be online!

 

Love,
