Interview: Saddam the Fashionista

Guess who we have for our interview of fashion today? It’s Saddam. Saddam is a fashion blogger under the Runway Tuesday section at HeyRealityShifters. His passion for fashion has inspired many readers on his blog. At the same time, he is also studying at Republic Polytechnic and majors in Communication and Informative Design.

Different people have different kind of views towards fashion. For Saddam, he feels that fashion is “Standing out as an individual which actually allows your personality to shine through.” Basically, what he meant was showing your image and character through the apparels you put yourself in.

Like everyone, we all have that someone we admire in our heart. Saddam’s admire Alexandra McQueen fashion sense. Even though he has passed away, he feels that McQueen is able to portray beauty through clothes. For example, he put in different kind of elements to make the clothes look elegance and also a kind of tormenting feeling. Basically, the way he design and dressed is unique. Saddam’s love to dress unique. Just look at what he’s dressing normally to school.

























From the jeans that he’s wearing now, you know you seldom see people dressing like he does to school. The colour of jeans is too loud yet unique, and yes, that‘s how he like fashion being portrayed.

He wishes to have his internship at companies that actively uses social media to let people see his way of fashion. Someone who loves fashion so much like him actually can’t leave without outerwear. In such hot countries like Singapore, he actually have 10 different kind of it. He have to wear it every day as long as he’s out of the house.

One last advice we get from him is to wear what you want and ignore what other people think but take note that you have to dress according to the body type or else you will look frumpy or even disgusting.

Take a look at the interview we had with Saddam!

Beauty News #2 - Celebrities' Beauty Advice: To Believe Or Not ?

Have you ever wondered how celebrities always look great all the time? Ever thought they might have a secret formula?

Well, celebrities such as Gisele Bundchen claims that she does not put sunscreen on her skin because she thinks it is poison as it contains synthetic materials. Australia model, Miranda Kerr wrote on her website that she takes four tablespoon of coconut oil daily in her salads, tea and in any meals. She believes that it keeps her hydrated. The famous sister of the duchess of Cambridge, Pippa Middleton rinses her hair in cold water believing that it closes up pores.

All these "secret formula" by celebrities are proven to be nonsense by the scientists from Sense About Science. This organisation is devoted to proving claims and providing evidence to an average citizen around the world.

Scientists and doctors have proven some beauty advice wrong from celebrities such as Gisele Bundchen's claim about sunscreen, Miranda Kerr's coconut oil theory and Pippa Middleton's hair formula.

Gisele's "poison in sunscreen" claim is broken by pharmaceutical scientist Gary Moss. He said that in our everyday life, there is a wide variety of synthetic materials. Hence, synthetic does not mean a bad thing. Natural materials does not also mean safe or beneficial.

As for Pippa Middleton's hair formula, beauty and grooming senior scientist Dr. Frauke Neuser states that hair does not have pores, hence rinsing it with hot or cold water does not make a difference.

The moral of the story? Don't take advice from people who is experts of modeling, acting and posing in front of the cameras. Take beauty advice from people who are experts at health and beauty. They are more reliable and trustworthy comparing to people who do not know what they are talking about.

Beauty Tips #1: 3 Free and Easy Tips To Looking Good

Hello there!

Today BeautyFairQueen will be sharing with you three simple tips on how to look good without spending a ton of money!

Tip #1: Exercise

Reserve at least 2 hours a week to work out! You can either jog, brisk walk or even go for swim at the nearby swimming complex at your neighbourhood. Exercising can help to keep your skin healthy by increasing the blood flow. Blood contains oxygen and nutrients and it flows throughtout the entire body even the skin!

Tip #2: Scrub

Not only must you follow your facial regime closely, it is also important to exfoliate and mosturize your skin. This can help to remove oil, dirt and dead skin. It will definitely help to keep your skin looking vibrant and healthy since exfoliating also helps prevent the break out of pimples.

Tip #3: Sleep

Adequate sleep is necessary and it plays a major role in the outlook of your skin. If you do not have enough sleep, your skin will show by appearing dull, having puffy eyes and it will accelerate your chances of having wrinkles and lines at a young age. You should at least have 7 to 8 hours of sleep daily so as to prevent a weak immune system, stress and exhaustion.
