World No Tobacco Day

Every year, on the 31st of May, World No Tobacco Day is celebrated worldwide. And every year, the World Heatlh Organization (WHO) chooses a theme for it.

This year, the theme chosen is "Gender and tobacco with an emphasis on marketing to women".

Tobacco is dangerous to women and men of all ages. We know that.
Respiratory problems, lung cancer, death, etc. We all know its effects on our health.
Shockingly though, many people still aren't aware of the dangers of tobacco!
And worse than that, the majority of smokers know its dangers and continue smoking!

Personally, and as you might have guessed, I don't smoke.
However, I respect people's choice to smoke. They're free!
P.s. Half my friends are smokers.

Still, I think smoking is one of the worst inventions!

What are your views on smoking?

Celebrity Look Of The Day

Kim Kardashian!!

The star of E!'s Keeping up with the Kardashians is definitely my favorite style icon.

I am a HUGE fan of the Kardashians and I'm sure I've watched every episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians (all 4 seasons of course)!

Can't wait for Kourtney & Khloe Take Miami season 2 coming in June!!!!

Marie Fredriksson's birthday

The Swedish singer and songwriter of Roxette celebrates today her 52ndth birthday today!

I can't say I'm a HUGE fan of Roxette, but I absolutely LOVE "Listen to your heart" which is, in my opinion, one of the best songs of the pop duo.

What Roxette song is YOUR favorite?

The Celeb Look Of The Day

Today's celebrity look is Ashley Tisdale.

Her outfit is convenient for days where the weather is neither too hot nor freezing.

When Tisdale went back to being a brunette (which she naturally is), I thought it suited her more! Don't you think?

Ashley also has a boho chic style of her own, but she always knows how to dress up for special occasions.

Check out the dress she wore at the High School Musical 3: Senior Year premiere in this picture:

May 27: Children's day in Nigeria

Today is Children's day in Nigeria!

Children's day is celebrated internationally on June 1, but some countries, like Nigeria, celebrate it locally.

What are your views on Children's rights and place in today's society?

The Celebrity Look Of The Day

This picture of Rachel Bilson is today's celebrity look.

I absolutely LOVE what she's wearing and this look suits her title as a STYLE ICON.

Why is she a style icon?

1- The 28 years old actress manages to look fashionable on a daily basis and is known for having a vintage/boho chic style. (Have you tried googling her? OMG!)

2- Bilson designed a clothing line with DKNY jeans named "Edie Rose" and the collection was launched in September 2008.

So she's definitely owned her title! Don't you think?
