Dragon Boat Festival

Hello dear,today I'd like talk something about a Chinese traditional Festival, Dragon Boat Festival. Perhaps some of you are not so familiar with such a festival, but it's doesn't matter. I'll give you a detailed introduction.

This Chinese festival now occurs on the 5th day of the 5th month of the traditional Chinese lunar calendar, the source of its alternate name, the Double Fifth Festival and the date varies from year to year on the Gregorian calendar. 

The orgin of Dragon Boat Festival is widely recognized that that the festival commemorates the death of the ancient poet Qu Yuan.   

Qu served in high offices in that time. However, he was banished for opposing king's conducts. During his exile, Qu Yuan wrote a great deal of poetry. Twenty-eight years later, Qin captured Ying, the Chu capital. In despair, Qu Yuan committed suicide by drowning himself in the Miluo River.

Every year of Dragon Boat Festival, Chinese people usually hold dragon boat race or eat zongzi in memory of Qu Yuan. 

 

It is said that the local people, who admired him, raced out in their boats to save him or at least retrieve his body. This is said to have been the origin of dragon boat races. 

 

When his body could not be found, they dropped balls of sticky rice into the river so that the fish would eat them instead of Qu Yuan's body. This is said to be the origin of zongzi.

And now, Dragon Boat Festival is regarded as a national legal holiday and people those who are far away from home always try their best to go back home in order to have a transient reunion with their families. 

 

if you have a chance to go China, you can experience such a wonderful festival by person! And you can  experience this Chinese traditional culture. So, have a nice day, lovelies!

Motherly love by its very nature is unconditional. Mother loves the newborn infant because it is her child, not because the child has fulfilled any specific condition, or lived up to any specific expectation. Uconditional love corresponds in one of the deepest longing, not only of the child, but of every human being; on the other hand, to be loved because of one’s merit, because one deserves it, always leaves doubt: maybe I did not please the person whom I want to love me, maybe this or that--there is always a fear that love could disappear.

Furthermore, “deserved” love easily leaves a bitter felling that one is not loved for oneself, that one is loved only because one pleases, that one is, in the last analysis, not loves at all but used. No wonder that we all cling to the longing for motherly love, as children and also as adults.

 

        （White Long Sleeves Cotton Lolita Blouse with Multilayer Lace）
The relationship to father is quite different. Mother is the home we come from, she is nature, soil, the ocean; father does not represent any such natural home. He has litter connection with the child in the first years of his life, and his importance for the child in this early period cannot be compared with that of mother. But while father does not represent the natural world, he represents the other pole of human existence; the world of thought, of man-made things, of law and order, of discipling, of travel and adventure.

Fatherly love is conditional love. Its principle is “I love you because you fulfill my expectations, because you do our duty, because you are like me.”

Whatever love is, motherly and fatherly love has played a important role in our life. We have grow up under the protection of them. Now, they are getting older and older. We suggest we can buy something for them to show our love and learn to cherish them by actions.

A Special Gift

A woman came home form work late, tired and found his 5 years old daughter waiting for her at the door. "Mom,may I ask you a question ?"  "Yeah, sure, what is it?" replied the women. "Mom, how much do you make an hour? " " If you must know, I make $20 an hour."" Oh,"the little girl replied, with her head down, looking up, she said, "Mom, may I please borrow $10" the mother was furious, "If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy, then you go to bed." The little girl quietly went to her room and shut the door.

 After about an hour  or so,the women had calmed down. And started to think. Maybe there was something she really needed to buy with that $10 and she really didn't ask for money very often. The woman went to the door of the little girl's room and opened the door.

"Are you asleep, son?" she asked. "no mom," replied the girl. "I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier." said the women, "Here's the $10 you asked for." the little girl sat straight up, smiling. "Oh, thank you mom!" she yelled. Then, reaching under her pillow she pulled out some crumpled up bills. The women, seeing that the girl already had money, started to get angry again.

The little girl slowly counted out her money, then looked up at her omther. "Why do you want more money? Is you already have some ?" the women asked. "Because I didn't have enough, but now I do. "the little girl replied, "Mom , I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time ?Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you."

I think, the biggest mistake of this mom was he failed to examine the question in the angel of her. But fortunately, she finally figured out the problem and made her daughter happy. But after that, I wonder if the mom should buy somethings for his daughter as a compensation? White and Black Single Breasted Cotton Kids Lolita Dress

Low Waist Black Lolita Shorts

Do you like low waist black lolita shorts? I think it is good choice for summer!
Here I share you the one shorts I like.

I think this  kind of shorts can easily match other clothes, do you think so?

Clothing Designer

If I were a clothing designer, I'm gonna tell you that different kinds of people would wear dissimilar clothes, undoubtedly, each person has his own interest and taste, you can lead him to pursue what the fashion is, however, you can never change what his attitude and sense of worth are, of course, every season has its features, you can express what you think and what you like, different lifestyles will make you build distinctive minds, even the view of value more or less.



Therefore, if you want to be a qualified designer, you have to know what the consumers want, dig their inner requirements and spiritual needs, no matter who you are and no matter what you do, please remember, what kind of apparel does a consumer like? including pattern, color and accessories, it is not what you can decide, what's more, it is not what you can tell him, all in all, it's up to the one who wants to buy apparel and has his own mind.....

Costume designer is an interesting job, because of its creativity. It is also a very hard job, because the designer must be inspired. When a designer is not the inspiration, you can not design good works. Moreover, fashion designer or an important job, because they lead the trend.

Summer Fashion

Summer fashion is all about flirty silhouettes, fun fabrics, and effortless dressing. Highlight your assets by choosing a summer dress that suits your style and your figure.

You will need knowledge of your body type, options, jewelry (optional), Strappy heels (optional)
Steps

STEP 1 Choose clothes that complement your chest
Concentrate on details that draw the eye away from your chest if you're large-busted. Look for pretty empire waists and sleek necklines that de-emphasize the bust. Also look for full, bra-friendly straps that offer additional support.
Tip: Coordinate your jewelry to your dress. Opt for a chunky necklace to highlight a maxi dress, or wear pop-inspired earrings with a mod minidress. Classic bangles and gold chains also work well with most every dress.
In this way, the black lace ruffled gothic lolita dress will be suitable for you.

Step 2 Choose clothes that complement your hips
Balance a pear shape with a fluid bottom to cover the hips, and play up your arms and neckline. Try a strapless or halter dress with an empire waist, or opt for an A-line tunic, which draws the eye upward.

Tip: Accessorize a pretty dress with strappy sandals. Try ladylike kitten heels or low-heeled slides. Espadrilles and mules are other summertime footwear favorites and work well with tropical-themed dresses.

Step 3 Create curves
Create curves to soften a slim, boyish figure with a V-neck halter dress, or try layers of ruffles to create a soft shape.Look for vertical stitches and seams, which achieve the illusion of curves.

Step 4 Don't overwhelm a petite frame
Avoid overwhelming a petite frame. Try a bold, colorful dress, but keep it in proportion with neutral accessories — basic dress cuts flatter a smaller figure. Check out tunics, shifts, and tank dresses that elongate your frame.

Step 5 De-emphasize apple shape
Skim your midsection if you have an apple shape. Look for dresses with a flattering neckline, such as an empire waist, that elongates the torso. Emphasize your lower half with fluid, A-line skirts.

Fact: Actress Debbie Reynolds owns the iconic white dress worn by Marilyn Monroe in The Seven Year Itch.

Share You A Retro Lolita Dress

This dress features puff sleeve, lovely bows and adjustable bandage in the waist from back.

Choose Clothing

The lipstick you just bought looked so divine on the celebrity walking the red carpet, but it makes you look like you're from another planet. Get the most flattering hues for you with these tips.
You will need white sheet of paper, white shirt, cream-colored shirt, makeup, universally flattering clothing colors, gold and silver jewelry (optional)

Steps

STEP 1 Assess skin tone
Assess your skin tone as either cool or warm. Hold a white sheet of paper up to your face to identify the main color you see in your skin. If you're still confused, put on a white blouse and then a cream-colored blouse. If you look better in the white, you're likely cool-skinned and if the cream one is more flattering, you have a warm skin tone.

See which jewelry tone is most flattering. Silver jewelry will look best against cool-toned skin, while gold jewelry will make warm tones glow.

STEP 2 Choose foundation
Choose a foundation and powder with blue or pink undertones if you have cool skin. Warmer skin tones should wear a yellow-based powder and foundation.


STEP 3 Choose blush
Go for a pink, beige, or tawny-hued blush if you have cool skin. Warm tones look best in plums, auburn, copper, or bronze. If you have tan skin, try peaches, corals, apricots, and oranges.

Cool tones should generally avoid earth tones, which work best on warm skin tones.


STEP 4 Choose lipstick
Select lipsticks and lip liners based on their dominant color. If they're primarily warm red,brown, magenta, or purple, they'll look great against warm skin. Cool skin will come alive with orangey red, light purple, and pink.

                    
STEP 5 Choose eyeshadow
Choose white, silver, gray, pale blue, purple, or dark green eye shadow if you have cool skin.Warm skin will look great in bronze, coral, red, pink, cream, light brown, and soft green.

STEP 6 Choose clothing
Wear clothing colors that flatter everyone, regardless of skin tone or even hair color, due to the fact that they fall in the middle of the color spectrum -- not too cool or too warm. They are eggplant, Indian Teal, true red, and soft rose -- which is between light pink and peach.

Little Black Dress.

These pieces can be tweaked to match your personal style, but there's one thing they should all have in common: A perfect fit.
You will need a little black dress, plain dark jeans, a crisp, white button-down shirt, black dress pants, white T-shirts, a black skirt, a trench coat, professional laundering (optional)

Steps
STEP 1 Invest in a little black dress
Invest in what fashionistas call the LBD, or Little Black Dress: A simple, elegant sheath.
Try a sheath dress in navy, brown, charcoal, or red, too. Just make sure it's a solid color.

STEP 2 Find the perfect jeans
Have a go-to pair of jeans that fit well and can be dressed up or down. That means no rips,studs, or fading – just a dark pair of plain jeans.

STEP 3 Get a crisp white shirt
Own at least one crisp, white, button-down shirt. Look for fitted ones that won't bunch around your hips when you tuck them in – but won't tug at the buttons, either.
Unless you can afford professional laundering, avoid 100 percent cotton in favor of a no-iron fabric.

STEP 4 Have black dress pants
Buy at least one pair of black, all-season pants in a basic cut that works just as well with a sweater or jacket as it does with a shirt or blouse.

STEP 5 Stock up on white tees
Stock up on white T-shirts – crew neck and V-neck, long-sleeved and short-sleeved.
STEP 6 Get a good skirt
Get a good black skirt. A knee-length, A-line skirt is universally flattering. But if you have the figure for a pencil skirt,go for it.

STEP 7 Buy an all-weather trench coat
Buy a classic, all-weather trench coat. Don't skimp on it; a well-made one will last you a decade or more.
Sixty-six percent of women own at least one "little black dress."

Positive Energy Of Dress

Want the warmth and stylishness of a hat without the hair-plastered-to-head look when you remove  it? It is possible.
You will need a loose-fitting hat,dry hair, hairspray or an unscented dryer sheet,hair gel,the ability to make a top knot (optional), a beautiful fashion dress(very important).

Steps
Step 1 Choose hat
Get yourself a loose-fitting hat, preferably one with elastic banding. You should be able to fit a finger between the head and the hat.
Tip: Opt for a fleece or cotton hat. Though not as warm as other materials, they don't flatten hair the way heavier fabrics do. Plus cotton hats don't generate the static electricity that causes flyaway hair.

Step 2 Have dry hair
Make sure your hair is completely dry before putting on your hat.
Tip: If your hair is long enough, twist the top into a pin curl and secure it with a bobby pin,then lift your hair into a loose top-of-the-head ponytail.


Step 3 Rejuvenate hair
When you remove your hat, shake your hair loose and rub a tiny amount of hair gel between your hands. Run your fingers through your hair to rejuvenate it.

Step 4 Push hair up
After putting on your hat, reach inside and push the hair up from your crown to make sure it's not pressed flat against your head.
Step 5 Prep hair
Before putting on your hat, spritz the inside with hair spray or rub it with an unscented dryer sheet to prevent static.

Fact: The average female head size is 22.5 inches around, and the average male head is a quarter inch larger.

Step 6 Choose a suitable dress
After browsing many kinds of dresses, you need to choose a beautiful and suitable dress for yourself.

Look for a strapless dress that retains an hourglass shape even when it's on the hanger. This ensures an hourglass shape for your figure, too.

Tip: With a strapless push-up, try on both your regular size and one cup bigger.

Step 4 Put the dress to the test
Try on the dress with different bras and put the combinations through lots of gyrations,especially if you plan to dance in the dress. Make sure it doesn't slip, pinch, or create unattractive lumps anywhere when you sit, bend, or move your arms.

Step 5 Wear the right accessories
Wear either chandelier earrings or a necklace that complements a bare neck and decolletage,like a choker or Y-drop design. Donning both will overwhelm the dress. Carry a clutch or small evening bag.

Not A Simple Dress

“Do you like my dress?"she asked of a passing stranger."My mommy made it just for me."She said with a tear in her eye.

"Well,I think it's very pretty,so tell me little one,why are you crying?"

With a quiver in her voice the little girl answered."After Mommy made me this dress,she had to go away."

"Well,now,"said the lady,"with a little girl like you waiting for her,I'm sure she'll be right back."

"No Ma'am ,you don't understand,"said the child through her tears,"my daddy said she's up in heaven now with Grandfather."

Finally the woman realized what the child meant,and why she was crying.Kneeling down she gently cradled the child in her arms and together they cried for the mommy that was gone.

Then suddenly the little girl did something that the woman thought was a bit strange.She stopped crying,stepped back from the woman and began to sing.She sang so softly that it was almost a whisper. It was the sweetest sound the woman had ever heard,almost like the song of a very small bird.

After the child stopped singing she explained to the lady,"My mommy used to sing that song to me before she went away,and she made me promise to sing it whenever I started crying and it would make me stop."

"See,"she exclaimed,"it did,and now my eyes are dry!"
  

As the woman turned to go,the little girl grabbed her sleeve,"Ma'am,can you stay just a minute?I want to show you something."

"Of course,"she answered,"what do you want me to see?"

Pointing to a spot on her dress,she said,"Right here is where my mommy kissed my dress,and here,"pointing to another spot,"and here is another kiss, and here,and here.Mommy said that she put all those kisses on my dress so that I would have her kisses for every booboo'that made me cry."

Then the lady realized that she wasn't just looking at a dress,no,she was looking at a mother…who knew that she was going away and would not be there to kiss away the hurts that she knew her daughter would get.

So she took all the love she had for her beautiful little girl and put them into this dress,that her child now so proudly wore.

She no longer saw a little girl in a simple dress. She saw a child wrapped…in her mother's love.
