What it Takes to be A Ballerina........

"Ballet". What is the thought that comes into your mind when you hear that word? Let me guess. Pretty ladies prancing about on their toes in tights and tutus???? Well, I'm pretty sure that at least 90% of the people in the think this.....but I'm here to tell you that it isn't that simple.

Mary Helen Bowers, a dancer with New York City Ballet.

To be able to make it as a Ballerina you need........Dedication.
You must be ready to sacrifice your afternoons, your nights out to practice and to attend classes. Being able to balance on the tips of your toes doesn't happen over night.  Neither does nailing that perfect grande jete.

Grande Jete

Ballerinas, especially Professional Ballerinas work very hard, to give off the illusion of grace and poise. Onstage they may look on this, smiling like dancing was the easiest thing on earth.

They make it seem easy

Let me take you behind the scenes, their feet are covered in blisters and  calluses. Bleeding from balancing their whole body weight on the tips of ten toes. They say: "A  picture says a thousand words", so here it is.....

This is one of the less severe ones. 

Take a look for yourselves.

Doesn't it look absolutely disgusting???? Some of you may be wondering, " If it hurts so much, why are they still dancing?"

Why??? Because they have a passion for dance....... They are willing to sacrifice their nights out and afternoons off to work their butts off. Stretching their muscles to achieve that oversplit and even sacrificing their feet. I hope after reading this you will not think of Ballerinas as just pretty ladies prancing around on their toes in tutus and tights, but respect them for the strong and graceful women they actually are.......

This my friends, is what it takes to be a Ballerina..........

The Ultimate Guide to being Beautiful...........

Hello peeps, I'm here with my very first blog post: The Ultimate Guide to being Beautiful.

Firstly, I think that beauty comes from within, so it doesn't matter if you're skinny, fat(I prefer the term fun-sized), short or tall....... We can all be BEAUTIFUL. Being beautiful isn't all about looks or being perfect. Sometimes, your imperfections are the things that make you beautiful.

Here are some tips I can share with you on how to be Beautiful..............

1) SMILE!!!!!

It's good to smile! Show off your pearly whites (or not...) whichever one you prefer. Everyone looks better smiling and anyway did you know that it takes less muscles to smile than to frown. There is a saying: Every time you smile, a smile comes back to you......Isn't that nice???? To have a whole bunch of people smiling at each other?You may even brighten up someones day!! Anywhozzle........


2) Show off your Self Esteem

When you are talking to a person, STARE them down!!!! No, I'm just joking, don't do that!!! But look them in the eye when you are speaking to them. Walk with your head held high. Don't cower in fear wherever you go. Let people say: " That girl has got SELF-CONFIDENCE"
Be sure of yourself, but don't be proud. Make sense??? It will as you grow up...

3) Don't cake your face with Makeup
Seriously though, don't bury yourself under heaps of makeup. Go with your natural beauty....... Sure lip balm or concealer is fine.... but try not to use to much makeup, it isn't healthy anyway. Be true to yourself. I can't say much here because I can't even put on lip balm properly. So next...........

4) Dress to Impress

Yup that's right, DRESS TO IMPRESS. Your dressing will make an impact on the person you are talking to. Dress for the occasion......Don't know what that means???? It means wear the proper attire for the proper time and occasion. For example; you won't wear your pyjamas to a party, will you? Or your swimsuit to a wedding. That is what dress for the occasion means. Also, dress to respect. For example, if you are visiting a temple, shorts aren't allowed sooo yeah...... Respect their culture!!! Very Important......

Last but not least,

5) Appreciate Yourself!!!
As I have already mentioned earlier, be true to yourself. Appreciate what God has given you. Beautiful teeth? Long legs?Slender body- frame? Awesome memory???? Appreciate all that and use it to your advantage. For example, got pretty teeth?? My first point was to smile.....so you got to SMILE EVEN MORE!!!! Don't complain that your legs aren't long enough or your eyes aren't big enough...The most important thing is to have a GIANT HEART and a GOOD ATTITUDE.
