model vs. dancer

Are you curious to know what a runway model and a ballet dancer eat or drink? I read this interview a couple of days ago in New York magazine and I really enjoyed it, take a look:

 Samantha Xu, Whose ten shows and presentations at Fashion Week included L.A.M.B. and Thom Browne

9 a.m.: Half a box of strawberries, glass of soy milk, whole-wheat flatbread with light butter and Nutella, bottle of drinkable yogurt
11 a.m.: Power-walk to agency while drinking coconut water
Noon: Power-walk to Lincoln Center for show
2 p.m.: Cheese and crackers, vegetables (celery, carrots, bell pepper) with sour‑cream dip, can of Diet Pepsi, two small frozen yogurts
3 p.m.: Walk for show (a group show of Argentine designers) in Lincoln Center, if that counts for exercise
4 p.m.: Power-walk to subway home
8 p.m.: Stroll around for about ten blocks
8:30 p.m.: Dinner at Neptune (a Polish restaurant): vegetable barley soup (a big bowl), tuna wrap with lettuce, and coleslaw. Drink: icewater.
9 p.m.: Cup of jasmine green tea; walk to subway home
10 p.m.: Glass of warm soy milk

“Before modeling, everybody told me I needed to eat more, but I eat like a normal person. Now they say I have a normal body type for modeling. So it actually made me feel better about myself.”

Ashley Bouder
Principal dancer at NYCB (dancing the lead role in Swan Lake)

8:45 a.m.: First two cups of coffee; stretch; walk the dogs
9:40 a.m.: Two scrambled eggs with large glass of water
9:55 a.m.: Walk to subway
10:20 a.m.: Stretch, followed by 105-minute NYCB ballet class and 45-minute Swan Lakerehearsal
1 p.m.: Banana, bottle of water; walk to post office
2 p.m.: Skirt-steak salad; walk to subway to go home
3:20 p.m.: Greek yogurt with peaches; nap
4:15 p.m.: Leftover spaghetti Bolognese
4:25 p.m.: Walk dogs, then walk to subway; stop for coconut water and coffee on way to theater
6:30 p.m.: Stretch and warm up backstage; coconut water
7:30 p.m.: Swan Lake performance begins
8:35 p.m.: Tuna salad and water at intermission
10:05 p.m.: Postperformance water and coconut water

“I watch what I eat and sacrifice some indulgences for my art. I don’t understand sacrificing your health to walk down a runway in pretty clothes.”

how to make your tea bag?

Isn't it just great to make your own tea bag?!

a beautiful mess blog's writer ,Elsie made this super cute D.I.Y tea bags ,supplies needed:

Coffee filters, Scissors, Sewing machine, Loose tea leaves, Stapler, Embroidery thread, Paper for tags.
To make them, follow these steps:

1. Cut two coffee filters into a rectangle.

2.  Stitch the filters together on three sides, leaving one of the smaller sides open.

3. Fill the teabag with the loose tea leaves, depending on the size of the bag and how strong you like your tea.

4. Stitch the top of the tea bag closed. All four sides should be stitched now!

 5. Fold down the corners, placing a 3-4in. piece of embroidery thread under one of the flaps, Fold the tip of the tea bag down, and use a stapler to hold it shut. (You could also stitch this part if you wanted to.)

6. Cut paper tags and glue, stitch, or staple them to the ends of your embroidery thread.
