I am very bad with girly stuffs specially make-up and home decorations. I have some friends who keep their room so well decorated, every thing kept in order. And, they always manage to look beautiful, clean, and tip-top. I felt these make-up and hone decoration skills are really important for a girl to have. Whenever i wanted to groom myself, once in a while, i would have to request my friends to do it for me. So, one day i decided to learn to do make-up myself from you-tube make-up tutorials. As i was looking up videos in you-tube, i came to find about Michelle Phan. I would recommend watching her make-up tutorials in you-tube for every girls who want to learn the make-up skills. Michelle is great with make-up. She shares lot of important information about cosmetics, make-up, perfumes, clothes, etc. She also shares her home decoration skills, and the stuffs she found for cheap. I follow her blog because i think she is just great!
If you want to follow her, here is the link to her blog http://thatsheartd.blogspot.com/

Prithivi Narayan Shah: The King of Nepal
Prithivi Narayan Shah was the first king to rule Nepal. He was
born in Gurkha, Nepal in 1723.In 1742, Prithivi Narayan Shah became the
king of Gurkha. An ambitious ruler, he was able to quickly enlarge his
territory by conquering the quarrelsome and disunited principalities around
Gurkha. Prithivi Narayan Shah conquered the three Malla kingdoms of Kathmandu,
Patan, and Bhadgaon in 1769 and consolidated them to found the modern state of
Nepal. He also established the capital of Nepal at Kathmandu. Prithivi Narayan Shah not only brought caste- and ethnicity-based states under the umbrella of Nepal, but also laid a solid foundation for the modern state. Nepal was a "yam between two boulders" suggesting the need for a delicate balance of relationship between its two big neighbors, a fundamental rule of Nepal's foreign policy even now. Prithivi Narayan Shah's warning quote "both the bribe givers and takers are enemies of nation" is the most repeated Nepalese slogan today.
Prithivi Narayan Shah was a true nationalist in his outlook, and was in favor of adopting a closed-door policy with regard to British. He sealed his brother and maintained peaceful
but distant relations with the British, refusing to trade with them, although he had accepted arms and advice from them during his conquering wars. Not only his social and economic views guided the country's social-economic course for a long time, his use of the imagery, 'a yam between two boulders' in Nepal's geopolitical context formed the principle guideline of the country's foreign policy for future centuries. He died
before he could effectively organize the administration of his new country. Upon
his death, Prithivi Narayan shah was succeeded by his son, Pratap Singh Shah.
