How To Avoid Being a Fashion Victim

  1. Decide if you're wasting too much money on fads, by assessing the last five items you've purchased.
  2. If three or more are touted as the season's "must-haves," you're in danger of being a fashion victim.
  3. Examine your closet to see if more than half of your wardrobe is already out of style according to your favorite fashion sources.
  4. Now, ask yourself if you are buying fashion fads because you really like them or you use them like a fashion security blanket.
  5. If you decided you always buy all of the fads because you really like them, you're not telling the truth so you might as well just stop here.
  6. If you decide you use fads as a fashion security blanket, follow the next steps.
  7. Never wear more than two trends together if possible.
  8. Stop referring to your clothing by designer (the Gucci jacket, the Dior bag) and just call them by the item name.
  9. Before buying your next designer item, ask yourself if you'd like the item if it didn't have the chi chi logo: if yes, then buy it.
  10. Never, ever wear your sunglasses indoors.

Tips:

  1. Remember that celebrities often overdo trends for maximum photo impact; they may not translate well for you on a day-to-day basis.
  2. Lots of fashion victims try to adopt the It Girl "bored look" as an accessory (as perfected by Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Moss and Chloe Sevigny). A cheerful disposition will separate you from the dour pack.
  3. There's nothing wrong with designer labels. Just make sure you aren't hiding behind expensive clothes to mask other insecurities.


BEAUTY

Characteristic of a person, animal, place, object, or idea that provides a perceptual experience of pleasure, meaning, or satisfaction. Beauty is studied as part of aesthetics, sociology, social psychology, and culture. An "ideal beauty" is an entity which is admired, or possesses features widely attributed to beauty in a particular culture, for perfection

Spa

Spring or resort with thermal or mineral water for drinking and bathing. The word derives from a Belgian town whose springs reputedly had curative powers. Mineral springs usually contain various salts, trace minerals, and gases; many are naturally carbonated. Most thermal springs (hot spring) also contain minerals. Warm-water bathing aids relaxation (hydrotherapy), and high salt or sulfur content helps some skin conditions. Drinking mineral water is believed to aid digestion, and waters with specific minerals are used for particular conditions.



Sauna

Bath in steam from water thrown on heated stones. Known in ancient times in various places, saunas are most closely identified with the Finnish people, who made saunas a national tradition. Typically, a wooden hut containing rows of flat stones is built near the edge of a lake. Wood is burned to heat the stones, and, when the stones are hot, cold water is thrown on them to create steam. The unclothed bathers sit on wooden benches in the steam-filled hut, then beat themselves with branches until their skin is red and tingling, and dive into the cold water or (in winter) roll in the snow. These extreme temperature changes are thought to have a beneficial effect on the circulation. In an adapted form, saunas are popular today in gymnasiums and health clubs.


Make Up Tips

If u like to make up, here are some of great looking makeup tips!!!

Makeup Tip 1) Sweep a little loose powder under your eyes when applying dark shades of eye shadow to catch any falling specks and prevent them from staining your skin.

Makeup Tip 2) Make your lips look larger by wearing a bright, light lipstick. Or make the appear small by wearing dark and more muted colours.

Makeup Tip 3) If you do not have a specialized contouring product for cheeks, simply use an ordinary face powder a couple of shades darker than your usual one to slim down the cheeks.

Makeup Tip 4) Add a drop of witch hazel available in all good pharmacies to turn ordinary foundation into a medicated one, it will work wonders on oily skin which is prone to acne and pimples.

Makeup Tip 5) Mascara your lashes before applying false ones to help them stick properly.

Makeup Tip 6) If you look tired then blend a little concealer just away from the outer corner of your eye - it makes you look as though you had a good night's sleep.

Makeup Tip 7) If you have not got time for a full make-up, but want to look great, paint on a bright red lipstick - its is happy, glamorous color which immediately brightens your face.

Makeup Tip 8) Never apply makeup before blow drying your hair - the heat from the dryer can make you perspire and cause your makeup to smudge.

Makeup Tip 9) The colour of powder eyeshadow can be made to look more intense by dipping your eyeshadow brush in water first.

Makeup Tip 10) Keep eye lashes smooth and supple by brushing them with petroleum jelly before going to bed at night.

Makeup Tip 11) Apply cream blusher in light downward movements to prevent it from creasing in specks of colour from catching in the fine hairs on your face.

Makeup Tip 12) If mascara tends to clog on your lower lashes then try using a small thin brush to paint colour on to individual lashes.

Makeup Tip 13) Make sure you give moisturizer time to sink in before you start applying your makeup as it will help your makeup go on more easily.

Makeup Tip 14) If your eye liner is too hard and drags your skin, hold it next to a lighter bulb for a few seconds before applying.

Makeup Tip 15) Lip gloss can look sophisticated if you just apply a dot in the center of your lower lip.

Makeup Tip 16) If you are unsure where to apply blusher, gently pinch your cheeks. If you like the effect, apply blusher in the same area - it will look wonderfully natural!

Makeup Tip 17) To prevent lipstick from getting on your teeth, try this tips - after putting it on, put your finger in the mouth, purse your lips and pull it out.

Makeup Tip 18) Women who wear glasses need to take special advice on makeup. If you are near-sighted, your glasses will make your eyes look smaller. So, go for brighter eyeshadows and lots of mascara to ensure they do not disappear.

Makeup Tip 19) A little foundation lightly rubbed through your eyebrows and brushed through with an old toothbrush will instantly lighten them.

Makeup Tip 20) For long lasting blush on sunny days or hot nights, apply both cream and powder blusher. Apply the cream formulation first, set with translucent powder then dust with a little powder blush.

Manicure

Manicure came from the latin word manus meaning hands and, again cura, meaning care. So manicure is the care of the hands. In a manicure your fingernails are trimmed (if desired), soaked in a finger bowl with warm soapy water, filed, and ridges are buffed off the surface of the nail. The cuticles are softened, pushed back, and possibly removed. Dirt is cleaned out from under the free edge (the part that hangs over and extends beyond your fingers) of your nails and brushed with a nail brush. As is the surface of your nails. A hand massage is performed with lotion and in some cases an arm massage too. Then fingernails are painted with a base coat, two coats of desired color, and a top coat. That's a basic manicure. There are also ones where fake nails or fake nail tips are applied over your natural nail. I'm not very educated on how they do those types so I won't go into that. Regular manicures have many benefits other than the beauty factor. They can help with circulation or muscle aches in the arms, wrists, hands, and fingers, and may help relieve pain due to tendonitis in the wrists.



Pedicure

Pedicure came from the latin word pedis meaning feet and cura meaning care. Thus pedicure means the care of the feet. Pedicures are slightly different. Your toe nails are clipped if desired or needed first. Then your feet are soaked in a small bubbling, vibrating, heated tub of warm water. Think of a hot tub for your feet. Many salons have the chairs that are attached to the big tubs that have back massagers in the apolestry. Toenails are filed and cuticles are pushed back and then comes a series of treatments that are all massaged into your feet and your legs up to but not past your knees. A cosmetologist that performs pedicures is not licensed to massage any area above the knee. First in the lotion treatments is what's referred to as a slough. It needs to be completely rubbed in until it flakes off. The slough removes dead rough skin and dead skin cells. That's what flakes off and why it is necessary to be rubbed in completely. A scrub is applied next which continues to remove dead skin cells by bumping them off the surface and it also is used to break down calluses on the bottom of your feet. This process is exfolliation. A pumice stone or foot file is used at this time in conjunction with the scrub in order to remove or at least smooth calluses. Not all calluses can be completely removed in the first pedicure if feet are severely damaged. Only routine pedicures can mend this problem. One every week to two weeks is reccommended. This part of the pedicure can be very ticklish if you are in fact ticklish on the bottom of your feet. A cooling gel is then applied and it soothes the feet after all the scrubbing maintainence on your feet is performed. It feels like a cool breeze blowing on your feet. A treatment is applied next and your feet are wrapped in towels and needs to set for a few minutes. This helps soften your feet further. Then a moisturizing lotion is applied and a foot and leg massage is performed. After the massage they will place disposable flip flops on your feet clean the excess lotion from your toe nails with nail polish remover and paint them in the same manner that it is applied to finger nails. Routine pedicures can relieve back and leg pain, help with circulation in the legs and feet which is especially beneficial for diabetics, and actually may help you sleep better at night. I am a cosmetologist and I hope this detailed definition helps answer your question

What to Wear to Work??



Getting dressed for the office doesn't mean leaving your personal style behind. Find out which looks give you a polished, professional look and which fashions can be a career killer.

Appropriate Work Attire

The images featured below are great options for a formal business environment, in which the standard dress code for men and women is a suit, a jacket, and pants or a dress skirt. Wearing clean and pressed attire is just as important in maintaining a business formal image.



Inappropriate Work Attire

Is it true that clothes make the man or woman? Do people form an opinion about us based on the way we dress? They do. Does that mean we should avoid any sense of individuality in the workplace? Of course not. With that said, some types of clothing are inappropriate for certain work environments. In addition, some work environments have a dress code that all who work there must follow. Sometimes you won't find these dress codes in writing; but if you look around you'll find that all employees are dressed in a similar way.
