"I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles."

(Audrey Hepburn)

The colour that lives between red and white takes all the passion and energy of red and combines it with the purity of white, creating an innocent, happy pink. A colour that is often associated with bubble gum, flowers, little girls, cotton candy and sweetness, but also with Barbies.

Like every colour, also pink affects you in some way. It can increase energy, blood pressure and pulse and it can also give you calmness, relaxation and happiness. It is said that pink symbolises youth, health and playfulness.

You can not only add pink coloured accessories and clothes to your wardrobe, but you can also choose pink as your hair colour.

Musicians including Gwen Stefani, Pink and also Cyndi Lauper, who have had a variety of hair colours over the years, have rocked pink hair at some point in their careers.

Nicki Minaj also loves this hair colour, although she prefers more of a pink wig. You may also remember Julianna Rose Mauriello, who played the pink-haired Stephanie in LazyTown. Like them, you too can create a pink look without having your hair dyed and change your hair colour and even haircut at any time without changing your current one.

The colour is even popular in animated films, such as Trolls, where the cute queen Poppy also has pink hair, and if you watch anime, you've probably already seen many characters with this hair colour too.

If you don't want to change your entire look or you don't enjoy wigs, a colourful strand of hair can be a solution for you. It's also good for the younger ones, I remember having this kind of hair in different colours and just clipping it into my hair when I was younger.

The ones in the picture above come in 12 different colours and are made from high quality heat resistant synthetic fibres, which means you can style them like your own hair by giving them some curls or straightening them. These are therefore a very easy way to add some colour to your hair, they just need to be clipped in and if the length doesn't suit you, you can simply cut them to length.

Have you had this kind of clip in hair extensions? Or have you ever worn a wig? Let me know in the comments section below.

Have a fabulous day. 😊

Lots of love,

How to drink more water and why it is good for you

✯ Hello Shiny Stars! ✯

"Pure water is the world's first and foremost medicine."

(Slovakian Proverb)

More than half of the human body is made up of water and the exact body water percentage can depend on a number of factors such as age, weight and gender, but also on water intake. For the average adult male, this percentage is around 60-63% and for females 52-55%.

To prevent dehydration, you need to consume plenty of water every day. However, there are many different opinions on exactly how much water you should drink each day. Many health experts recommend 2 litres (eight 8-ounce glasses or half a gallon) per day, but since it can also be dangerous to drink too much water, make sure you drink when you feel thirsty and always listen to your body.

Water nourishes the body, which nourishes the mind, so drinking enough water (and other fluids) has great benefits for you. Among other things it..

💙 cleanses toxins from your body,

💙 gives you energy,

💙 also boosts your brain power.

If you think you should drink more, here are some tips to increase your intake of fluids:

💙 Drink a glass of water as soon as you get out of bed.

💙 Have a drink with every snack and meal.

💙 Keep a bottle of water with you at your desk at school or work, but also in your bag or in your car.

💙 Eat water-rich foods, fruits and vegetables. Their high water content will contribute to your hydration. Fruits and vegetables that are high in water content, at least 90%, include watermelon, strawberries, tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, courgette and celery.

💙 Set daily goals and either track them with an app or follow them manually.

💙 Whenever your glass or bottle is empty, refill it.

💙 Add fresh fruit to your water.

💙 Buy a nice water bottle or thermos.

This keepto half gallon water bottle in the picture above and below, for example, has inspiring lettering with track lines and is available in different colours and gradients. The flid-top lid allows you to open the bottle with just one hand and the wide opening to add ice cubes and fruit, while the carrying strap makes it easy to take it anywhere. The bottle has some time markers to help track your water intake but also motivate you to drink enough, and it also has a removable straw that is easy to clean with the straw brush included in the package. The supplier claims that it is BPA-free, has no chemical smell or taste and is 100% leak-proof and dust-proof.

As you can see, getting the right amount of fluids is extremely important for your health, and it comes not only from drinking water, but also from eating water-rich fruits and vegetables, but also from a bowl of soup.

Do you drink enough water during the day? Do you have a tip that has been particularly helpful for you to drink more? Share it in the comments, I'm happy to read them.

Take care and stay hydrated! 😊

Lots of love,
