Most important Tips For Your Appearance

•June 1, 2011 • 1 Comment

*Change sometimes is not handled well by friends and loved ones. So when changing something specific, like your hair color, listen to the feedback but make sure you feel gorgeous, otherwise you will be bowing to everyone rather than being yourself.

*Clothing styles change with the wind, so make sure you have the basics, otherwise your slavery to fashion will be expensive

*Clothing says something about yourself, make sure you’re appearance does not say, “FOR SALE”.

*As times change, a lot of younger girls/guys play a “tug-o-war” with the older generation.
Yes times change, but hormones don’t.  You don’t need to be stuck in a “granny style”, but embrace various wisdom, not just various opinions.

*Clothing may something about you, but humans are naturally looking for flaws to expose. Humans naturally like to push someone else down to build themseves up. It is wrong, but a sad fact.
Have confidence yourself, and treasure those you love, who know you.

*Be careful of your judging eyes. We often don’t like being judged ourselves, yet we so easily “size up” someone else. “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover”, or you will miss many beautiful things and people in life.

*You are no accident. You are made unique.
You are made wonderful…now what you do with your body is your choice, so that determines the care your appearance has, but when someone says you are unattractive, don’t let it eat you. Their loss and poor attitude.

*Not happy with your body shape? Make health changes and you will feel so much better. It is more attractive to have a man/ Lady in your life that has a healthy inside, rather than just a cosmetic outside.  Work on the inside, and the outside will come sooner than you think.

LADIES / How to dress to give you a sexy and slim figure

•June 1, 2011 • Leave a Comment

 

1) Choose clothing articles that “skim” over areas of your body you want to camouflage.

EXAMPLE:  If you want to make your tummy look flatter, move away from skin tight vests, and choose a flattering tunic.
Instead of choosing a “suction cup” mini skirt, flatter voluptuous thighs under a floaty skirt.
*NOTE:   if you go baggy, this will also make you look LARGER than before.

 

 

2) Make sure you are wearing the right underwear.

A well fitting bra can also help to create a smoother slimmer figure. Take the time to go get a free bra fitting at an underwear store, and keep an open mind about your size…the professional may give you a size you think isn’t yours. Trust her/his calculations.  When I first had my correct size…I thought I looked bigger and more up, but behold, I looked great!

Thongs and G-Strings are great for thick fitted jeans, but when it comes to looser materials, dresses, and skirts….it shows every ounce of  “jiggly jello” we got.
When going for the perfect silhouette, go for more supportive styles.

 

3) Highlight your lovely parts.

When concealing, don’t sacrifice the lovely parts about you.

EXAMPLE: If you have a beautiful slender neck, but a bit of weight on your waistline, draw attention to your neck with an eye catching necklace, or other accessories. If you have toned arms, wear a sleeveless top.

 

4) Work on your posture.

 

5)  Horizontal stripes widen, Vertical gives length

 

 

 

 

 

Waves of Romance

•June 1, 2011 • Leave a Comment
Mixing straight and smooth with lots of texture is the modern way to wave.

1. This look focuses voluptuous waves placed in the center of the hair’s length. Start with dry hair. Work a generous amount of mousse through hair, then dry with blow-dryer and paddle brush — this will give hair super body and hold. As you dry, brush hair to the side, keeping roots flat. Remember, you don’t want height or volume for this style.

2. Use the Philips Salon Straight & Curl to flat-iron hair from roots to chin-level on each section. Use gentle tension as you straighten. Do not lift the iron as you work — keep the roots flat to create a smooth, close-to-the-head look.
3. Leave the areas of the hair from scalp to chin-level straight. Now use the iron to curl the sections from the middle to the ends. Use the Philips Salon Straight & Curl to clamp the section of hair at chin-height. Wrap the hair around it. Slowly pull iron down to ends, keeping hair wrapped as you pull.
4. Brush the hair gently with a natural bristle brush, and smooth curls into soft, rhythmic wave pattern. Ends will be blunt and straight, not curly, for a modern finish.

Don’t lift your iron — this style hugs the head.
