Planning ahead of time is the most effective way to save money, headaches, and even your sanity! Have you started the "Christmas Chat" with your family yet? Who will be the host? What will the location be? When will lunch be served? Who will be invited? What do you have planned for so-and-so? And so forth. If you wait until the last minute, or even just before Christmas, you may find yourself stressed out, unhappy, panicked, and not even looking forward to the most wonderful time of the year.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /><span><a name='more'></a></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_1bmxztClRMnQMQDxi2AcenLRCYF_awFSxFupwh-T62Vpo6rKazk5vSBGEEqCi7IsX0oKKB97_J266y4cbbfTRPJV4hjPi9DVWgnjLv7aAGIG8UIPrOntFCo1Q0uEnSBsjki0YHfXoaVt/s2048/pexels-irina-iriser-1734425.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_1bmxztClRMnQMQDxi2AcenLRCYF_awFSxFupwh-T62Vpo6rKazk5vSBGEEqCi7IsX0oKKB97_J266y4cbbfTRPJV4hjPi9DVWgnjLv7aAGIG8UIPrOntFCo1Q0uEnSBsjki0YHfXoaVt/s16000/pexels-irina-iriser-1734425.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Photo by <a href="https://www.pexels.com/@iriser?utm_content=attributionCopyText&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=pexels">Irina Iriser</a> from <a href="https://www.pexels.com/photo/green-and-white-wreaths-1734425/?utm_content=attributionCopyText&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=pexels">Pexels</a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As a result, preparing for Christmas early is practically in our blood.

Remember to include everything you will require. This includes food, decorations, gifts, outings, the obligatory tacky jumpers...even postage stamps for Christmas cards and parking at the mall. Determine how much you will <a href="https://www.ramseysolutions.com/budgeting/create-a-christmas-budget">need to spend</a> and where you will spend it, and write it all down. You'll then have an effective way to manage your money so that you don't overspend closer to the big day.

As we age, our skin naturally loses elasticity and firmness, but we can slow down this process by being attentive to our skin’s needs. Certainly, there are many ways you can stop harming your skin by quitting smoking or drinking less alcohol, but there are also ways we can <a href="https://www.lamoumous.com/2021/06/what-can-you-do-to-make-your-skin-glow.html">improve our skin too</a>. By developing a few healthy skin habits, you can have beautiful skin far into the future.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span><a name='more'></a></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6KjklZcITMcbPeeDTFcdhkwtFw1c7VwDMYaDFbuBe_NhsuTgxAYENokUJXAFkJbTfs4WrvoOYhaGE5uRrlage_3l5oxVIoEKnlikhyphenhyphenK0dpL4mi0cc7YoDmXCiTu8UvifLynUanVZMIGYl/s2048/IMG_0151.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1764" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6KjklZcITMcbPeeDTFcdhkwtFw1c7VwDMYaDFbuBe_NhsuTgxAYENokUJXAFkJbTfs4WrvoOYhaGE5uRrlage_3l5oxVIoEKnlikhyphenhyphenK0dpL4mi0cc7YoDmXCiTu8UvifLynUanVZMIGYl/s16000/IMG_0151.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Get Some Exercise</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Exercise is great for the body by helping you reduce that waistline, but it also has a superb effect on your skin's health too. By getting the blood pumping around the body, you are encouraging the blood to rush to the skin's surface, where it can remove harmful toxins that age the skin. Exercise also gives the skin more oxygen to breathe; it also promotes the production of collagen. Collagen is a great thing to increase in the skin as it is actually one of the main building blocks of healthy skin tissue. The more collagen you have, the better your skin will look.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQV7GnWlTdjvBqSEP0zgRpKkYuEARCk0Czzy3Cgqdhf9Te3byvrRQ5bcsvHW470kzbg9tn6ciViY3-soRhgpaxP-NLuuT1FyBs7APnt3CkI1kH-4QPcl3X6VE9QLQbY55KC0BtQBce8BvG/s2048/IMG_0150.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1826" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQV7GnWlTdjvBqSEP0zgRpKkYuEARCk0Czzy3Cgqdhf9Te3byvrRQ5bcsvHW470kzbg9tn6ciViY3-soRhgpaxP-NLuuT1FyBs7APnt3CkI1kH-4QPcl3X6VE9QLQbY55KC0BtQBce8BvG/s16000/IMG_0150.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Antioxidants</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you take antioxidants, they have the effect of protecting the skin from oxidative damage generally caused by free radicals. Free radicals are nasty little atoms that can harm the skin, causing aging, and they can also cause illnesses such as cancer in all parts of the body. Antioxidants actually remove these harmful things from the body. Ways you can increase the level of antioxidants in your body include buying an antioxidant vitamin or you can eat <a href="https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/foods-high-in-antioxidants#TOC_TITLE_HDR_6">foods high in antioxidants</a> such as dark chocolate and kale.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvlpyGWgK9Iv5gPh8_3Y6toGQPMGvc84yW4LhjU1TRkLhVwwovjI6a98EVuypk3zQFojv8YDJZw-sdB7nsl9Ztn1kvQO2eTUoME-f1T68jPYKCs-JLaGw8wWlcoLsvNcFv8BHveM2Qap6w/s2048/IMG_0148.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2037" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvlpyGWgK9Iv5gPh8_3Y6toGQPMGvc84yW4LhjU1TRkLhVwwovjI6a98EVuypk3zQFojv8YDJZw-sdB7nsl9Ztn1kvQO2eTUoME-f1T68jPYKCs-JLaGw8wWlcoLsvNcFv8BHveM2Qap6w/s16000/IMG_0148.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Buy Better Skin Care Products</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The products we apply to our skin are very important to our overall look. First of all, if you are using a moisturizer that is wring for your skin type, you may actually be harming your skin instead of improving it. You need to work out your skin types i.e., normal, oily, dry, sensitive, or combination, and buy products that cater to that skin type. You could also try repairing products if you already have some skin damage, such as <a href="https://www.cielspabeverlyhills.com/product/serum-placenta/">Biologique Recherche Serum Placenta</a>. This reduces imperfections and gives you a better glow. There are plenty of excellent products out there, especially catering to your needs. All you have to do is be proactive and do is a little research and discover them.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivOnjzyc0HWTNXSAiCf-e7ZGX1TuYjjqzR5_lD_ZzlJzPFXBIXxAxlPFuBxjy4w7Lja8guC3EM8sglmTbktWGBuMiYkMEVsPehU8pjn-4Fe1Htvf2C6qJOwTUnx9JmX5X3DLQjDocGSrDl/s2048/IMG_0144.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1897" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivOnjzyc0HWTNXSAiCf-e7ZGX1TuYjjqzR5_lD_ZzlJzPFXBIXxAxlPFuBxjy4w7Lja8guC3EM8sglmTbktWGBuMiYkMEVsPehU8pjn-4Fe1Htvf2C6qJOwTUnx9JmX5X3DLQjDocGSrDl/s16000/IMG_0144.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Change Your Diet</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you are in the habit of buying a lot of fatty, sugary foods are causing damage to your skin all the time. Fatty foods can clog pores and give you acne. High glycemic foods, which are things that are full of sugars and refined carbohydrates, cause free radicals. There are so many ways food affects our skin. Try to eat foods high in good fats such as omega-3 and omega-6, which can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Also, eat a lot of fruit and vegetables, which can flush the body of harmful toxins.</div></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-531fd879-7fff-23bd-7164-6f3bfdf43bc6"><div><br /></div></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

This year, I skipped the Back to School blog edition for personal reasons. I am so disappointed not being able to share the fun with you but I hope you'll understand. Maybe next year, but until then please do share how is back to school for you so far? I know things are different depending on where you are located on the globe? Are you still homeschooling? Comment below and let me know. In the meantime, I am sharing a few tips on how to mentally prepare your child to return to school.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span><a name='more'></a></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWUQhW0TeZOph3TrBoV7d4yshULh8czjAZDgtRv4u1v9x_Qkd99QLYoMyssb9zLCrv1dHIcP1tsKiq_9wSGCuUwNDNEe_CvD1UpizzmBJg77Xzw3thoHQK70VpKrmPXqFph3696-npUU8m/s2048/IMG_0176.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1686" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWUQhW0TeZOph3TrBoV7d4yshULh8czjAZDgtRv4u1v9x_Qkd99QLYoMyssb9zLCrv1dHIcP1tsKiq_9wSGCuUwNDNEe_CvD1UpizzmBJg77Xzw3thoHQK70VpKrmPXqFph3696-npUU8m/s16000/IMG_0176.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Have a talk with your child</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Your child might have worries about the virus, restrictions in place or their education and school. It’s important to acknowledge that this is a difficult time. It’s important to give them the message that returning to school is a big thing and you understand that. Talk to them in a way that is sensitive to their needs – you will know your child best. Don’t intrude or impose yourself on them, but gently open the conversation and let them know you’re there for them if they want to talk.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBsOmLM0GH4hyphenhyphent_6cIF122vkVWpMH6tmYyJq8-lD3HwyVRA0nEQbRKJYvnsb4vamGBjAp-w2ibEMV7CE5uUUiBs4QlGXqLBm-IDMu2BC8047K-GFgYEsa6XexDfe0vZn6fLxuhafauweVv/s2048/IMG_0170.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBsOmLM0GH4hyphenhyphent_6cIF122vkVWpMH6tmYyJq8-lD3HwyVRA0nEQbRKJYvnsb4vamGBjAp-w2ibEMV7CE5uUUiBs4QlGXqLBm-IDMu2BC8047K-GFgYEsa6XexDfe0vZn6fLxuhafauweVv/s16000/IMG_0170.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Sleep routine</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Sleep is very important for your child’s mental health and wellbeing, as well as their development. Try and help your child build a healthy sleep routine which they can maintain whether attending school in person or not. I put my 3 years old twins to bed between 6h30 & 7pm and my 7 years old daughter at 8hpm (sometimes 830pm). And they wake up with no help at around 6h30-6h45am.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgduJIpZ40GBecd_aoD-tzoEqooBlj77Gn-WFXXuzRugxDiw3bMMxeSvbdqbn6-zR0zjaBGxdIi4rcOeLkl2b3KUt3vduUTS61TtXQicpe7scOVxKD8Ri56SzJWLZCQkzEclAb890nw6RO2/s2048/IMG_0169.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgduJIpZ40GBecd_aoD-tzoEqooBlj77Gn-WFXXuzRugxDiw3bMMxeSvbdqbn6-zR0zjaBGxdIi4rcOeLkl2b3KUt3vduUTS61TtXQicpe7scOVxKD8Ri56SzJWLZCQkzEclAb890nw6RO2/s16000/IMG_0169.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Dealing with stress and anxiety</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">When we are feeling stressed, we usually use some coping techniques such as speaking with friends or family, doing regular exercise, or using breathing techniques. If you feel comfortable, you could share your own worries and feelings about the current situation and coping strategies you are using to manage these feelings. Acknowledge that it’s normal to feel anxious about going back to school. Encourage them to focus on the present and avoid thinking too far ahead: hand washing, wearing masks, getting prepared for returning such as packing their bag and everything in their control.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYMQs3zqVhtO9HNjlxwqXUyLKs_8cMvrhrp8UMsLpYPFQyvyKDspQawI7VGtKLIaqb6tRauEntIGWXIuMFoh7hTp_1oBvFUwEZUjIn9dG3pDF-HzPtrIJKbGSUAIPlpPvFbhowsmI1AY-g/s2048/IMG_0177.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYMQs3zqVhtO9HNjlxwqXUyLKs_8cMvrhrp8UMsLpYPFQyvyKDspQawI7VGtKLIaqb6tRauEntIGWXIuMFoh7hTp_1oBvFUwEZUjIn9dG3pDF-HzPtrIJKbGSUAIPlpPvFbhowsmI1AY-g/s16000/IMG_0177.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Make yourself available</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Children may want to come and “debrief” but maybe not when you expect. Create space for talking in different ways, such as going on a walk together or baking together – there may be less pressure in these circumstances than when sitting face-to-face. Ask them questions like: what have they enjoyed about being back? Any worries or challenges? Do check in with them periodically.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP_XRB2WwvsScpgFR4fIv-4LjHwnJGqBRsdYZFqzxwDEufKpGLWnTk21lBmrdaCCerunH1jj8LoijA731GGD7W4W3NfzFTGeC_rTZ6oCPelqtFDE9i30z83cteVSu3kAPzMA0nYJNKN22m/s2048/IMG_0179.jpg" style="clear: left;

Sometimes you will find that there is something or other that gets in the way of it or lets the whole look down, and it is not always immediately obvious what actually caused it. There are, however, a few common culprits that you should be aware of, as these are often going to be the cause.

Your haircare is a constant concern that you have to focus on if you want to make sure that you are looking your best at all times. You might want to work on washing it more often, using the right products, or changing it up by using <a href="https://usahair.com/permanent-hair-extensions/weaves-wefts-hair-extensions.html">sew-in human hair extensions</a> for a special occasion.

But you should take into consideration the outfit as a whole, the event you are attending, and what you feel works well with your own natural look. Very often, less is more, but there will be times when you also want to increase your makeup somewhat, so again it’s up to you.

Pair your new favorite baguette bags with sheath dresses, tall square-toe boots and maxi-length cardigans. Or wear a cropped cardigan set over a miniskirt and sneakers with ankle socks. When in doubt just channel Rachel Green and you’ll be good to go.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4Rbdg0oJXY0hEY6k4pEzYG-TynVJzVh8-0LQceBGmdhxHcsc_hBKNqW2ASGhtcv31RIGsDp8K-QmOBbw-EIDqWxCr8NwDksm_tL4wdk5EpsIZPXWBFNgsmSDFgdcvH4Kj4xsmJvpCP88y/s2048/IMG_0203.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4Rbdg0oJXY0hEY6k4pEzYG-TynVJzVh8-0LQceBGmdhxHcsc_hBKNqW2ASGhtcv31RIGsDp8K-QmOBbw-EIDqWxCr8NwDksm_tL4wdk5EpsIZPXWBFNgsmSDFgdcvH4Kj4xsmJvpCP88y/s16000/IMG_0203.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Saturated Hues</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Typically the transition from summer to fall means swapping out pretty pastels and tropical brights for shades of navy, khaki green, burgundy and other moody hues. But this year vibrant shades still reign supreme, albeit with an autumnal twist. Think boosted jewel tones, deep magenta, mustard yellow and other rich options. Try mixing and matching unexpected combinations, like peachy orange and bright blue or bubblegum pink and marigold, to form a look that’s both wonderfully colorful and seasonally appropriate.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_AfyBIkeZ634aIlbcT19aMIT1W7JsUkQ1MHTZnHrZpNlcERa8BJ9xwA0yOX5MpOCGEFJ1w3v3WeXc2uHp9MXSGqLgR_DADetg2be3I6VRwSzPV-ZBTrJlKtsL8acekzqSJ1r7ihrPv2d-/s2048/IMG_0202.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_AfyBIkeZ634aIlbcT19aMIT1W7JsUkQ1MHTZnHrZpNlcERa8BJ9xwA0yOX5MpOCGEFJ1w3v3WeXc2uHp9MXSGqLgR_DADetg2be3I6VRwSzPV-ZBTrJlKtsL8acekzqSJ1r7ihrPv2d-/s16000/IMG_0202.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Lavender</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">While most of the shades you’ll see this fall are much more saturated and rich, you’re also likely to see a ton of pale lilac and lavender. The pretty hue popped up on runways in every city during fashion month, including Lacoste, Salvatore Ferragamo, Jonathan Simkhai and Roksanda. and in a wide variety of styles too. Pick up one or two statement pieces, like a lavender blazer, wide-leg trousers or a floaty midi dress, then mix and match them with other shades of purple or classic basics, like jeans and a T-shirt.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_pycfmeFcx9K0ko3zwZSMkhJq06YikIZUkCHa_y8HwcA9PxDjtLpC8YxPkT3_UsobAftIy4TdxiWIL2k8H1lJDDt-krSGZtPr1ucBEQEvOckNOEn2sexecVZh_6SsNZDdG1YSL2o5xMDJ/s2048/IMG_0207.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_pycfmeFcx9K0ko3zwZSMkhJq06YikIZUkCHa_y8HwcA9PxDjtLpC8YxPkT3_UsobAftIy4TdxiWIL2k8H1lJDDt-krSGZtPr1ucBEQEvOckNOEn2sexecVZh_6SsNZDdG1YSL2o5xMDJ/s16000/IMG_0207.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Sweater Vest</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This Doug Funnie-approved trend first popped up in 2020, but it is still going strong in Fall 2021. The most popular styles are those with some texture and detailing, rather than plain monochrome cashmere, and a bit of an oversize fit. While the weather’s still warm, try wearing one with nothing underneath (except a bra, if you like) with some loose-fit jeans.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC-Sb_TO9fIpN4b99n7WXlO4hqdx2N51JvXm9qZOnouiDauX9bo_F0U6qBCPNchrlU6-1gj8SKsrl6L7qhGLPVl2z_kqmoUqVstEKrZ4oDR9DB_6hQ1xwgSPFHw5J5j9FrhZMWTulEBzTJ/s2048/IMG_0205.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC-Sb_TO9fIpN4b99n7WXlO4hqdx2N51JvXm9qZOnouiDauX9bo_F0U6qBCPNchrlU6-1gj8SKsrl6L7qhGLPVl2z_kqmoUqVstEKrZ4oDR9DB_6hQ1xwgSPFHw5J5j9FrhZMWTulEBzTJ/s16000/IMG_0205.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Loose fit Denim</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Skinny jeans will always hold a special place in our hearts, but for fall 2021, looser styles like mom jeans, flares, bootcuts and boyfriend jeans are the way to go. Mom jeans and loose straight-leg cuts in particular are the most popular silhouettes, as are cross-front waists for an added fun detail. To balance out extra fabric on bottom we suggest wearing a slim-fit tee and tailored blazer, cropped sweater or elegant blouse tucked in.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha7oF6tss9FcKIe5bsUtwBSDQo72bEsnDvSuIzzi4JADVIWuSD0l95Tk-4u4EYNwRXvm7ifAXCIVbtv1jrsAnLRBUflfKN3cklh3m7atB0qJJuD0IiZz6UT5dsHloXrnec2e9eCRxRDAtS/s2048/IMG_0208.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEha7oF6tss9FcKIe5bsUtwBSDQo72bEsnDvSuIzzi4JADVIWuSD0l95Tk-4u4EYNwRXvm7ifAXCIVbtv1jrsAnLRBUflfKN3cklh3m7atB0qJJuD0IiZz6UT5dsHloXrnec2e9eCRxRDAtS/s16000/IMG_0208.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Printed Pants</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Jeans and trousers in snake prints, checkerboard, zebra stripes and punchy florals are popping up left and right.

The best way to make these statement materials work is by pairing them with super casual basics, like a white button-down, raw-hem denim or an easy T-shirt.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9530W51qR01e3SEGT46Eq5yHvtAHxiwJr_20uWhVwrMI92CowlVa9M2AdKJgrFC3P380Qj7B8YTPv_8e3kJQN49fWKq66A1l_M0jZ36I4tJNF1adZzJPFXXLd3ouwrx8eRmgwhvsJL3W5/s2048/IMG_0212.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9530W51qR01e3SEGT46Eq5yHvtAHxiwJr_20uWhVwrMI92CowlVa9M2AdKJgrFC3P380Qj7B8YTPv_8e3kJQN49fWKq66A1l_M0jZ36I4tJNF1adZzJPFXXLd3ouwrx8eRmgwhvsJL3W5/s16000/IMG_0212.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Dark Academia / Preppy Looks</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This moody trend started with Gen Z on TikTok, but really it works for just about any age or style.

Perhaps our favorite thing about this trend, is that you can essentially pick and choose any style you like. The chicest styles are monochrome leather, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still rock a puffed-up nylon clutch or a ruched zebra-print shoulder bag.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimotAXHfvnjc1EAJ74SN4kakjdz_DpVhbaQwdBCUcOPlDLL9DhPoovK4W5BpP1hGR5I3N1wvDf9eKZUXDKj_Yp_WmHc1xYfo9B0-NQd8zGtYkFYAgSq-G9BWAPWvq3ql8uHK7LfmQXW7rk/s2048/IMG_0213.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimotAXHfvnjc1EAJ74SN4kakjdz_DpVhbaQwdBCUcOPlDLL9DhPoovK4W5BpP1hGR5I3N1wvDf9eKZUXDKj_Yp_WmHc1xYfo9B0-NQd8zGtYkFYAgSq-G9BWAPWvq3ql8uHK7LfmQXW7rk/s16000/IMG_0213.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Platform & Flatform</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Flatform espadrilles and ‘90s-inspired sandals were one of the top shoe trends this summer, and the elevated styles will definitely carry over into fall and winter. Platform loafers and lace-up boots, as well as clogs and ‘70s-esque heels, will give you a chic lift that’s also much easier to walk in than stilettos. I'm not sure how I am going to embrace this one but hey! let's wait and see.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7nxAXH1WvHm19zeuyqzXZaIjCITHGqcFev5CFcOvOiyh4auepXqkD8SByAJqs_tB-EaIQW8_amAEpMofS51yEyZRxmXmSU0kGKZYuPOUnhkLzNknGtlsWPByeMmBcTrA25sEb7GbURGe2/s2048/IMG_0211.jpg" style="clear: left; display: inline; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7nxAXH1WvHm19zeuyqzXZaIjCITHGqcFev5CFcOvOiyh4auepXqkD8SByAJqs_tB-EaIQW8_amAEpMofS51yEyZRxmXmSU0kGKZYuPOUnhkLzNknGtlsWPByeMmBcTrA25sEb7GbURGe2/s16000/IMG_0211.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Outfit Details</b></div><div style="text-align: center;">Dress, clutch <a href="https://www.instagram.com/khiani_ht/" target="_blank">@Khiani</a> | Shoes <a href="https://www.instagram.com/maisondelachaussure/" target="_blank">@MaisondelaChaussure</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Jewelry <a href="https://bijoulakayhaiti.com/" target="_blank">@Bijoulakay</a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">So what are the trends are you looking forward to rocking this Fall.

Put some food in a basket or a cooler, go find a grassy spot somewhere (why not in the mountain), plop down, and have a meal. Take your friends or your family along and make an experience that you’ll remember.

Some people will keep their faces pointed directly at their phones even when they’re outside. Sometime this summer, make sure you set the phone down, step away from the computer, and experience life without the Internet. Make sure you stop by and see your friends. Catch up; do things that you used to do before the Internet became a dominant force in our lives. Your brain will thank you because sometimes, you just have to get away from the web.</span></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0ui9y0c_kkvaaHEbCYhxMdGp3SC1wRkqL2I_4ycxQVq0sdSP7NB3Ov35rmpy4T_4dxUW4gL5CKfwQkPsZxGIPdQvaU4yshh2F86ufGBvw6qVUO1S-N7AM1ncZptayufCLqaUt7VdeG8b5/s2048/IMG_0032.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0ui9y0c_kkvaaHEbCYhxMdGp3SC1wRkqL2I_4ycxQVq0sdSP7NB3Ov35rmpy4T_4dxUW4gL5CKfwQkPsZxGIPdQvaU4yshh2F86ufGBvw6qVUO1S-N7AM1ncZptayufCLqaUt7VdeG8b5/s16000/IMG_0032.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">3. Walk somewhere</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">We have legs that we are using less and less these days. Do your body, your cardiovascular system, and your health a favor and pound some pavement this summer. Find a park or a trail and walk around. If you live close enough, hoof it to your local shopping center. Whatever it is, just get off your behind and walk around outside for a while. Did we mention that the sun gives away free vitamin D (but don't forget your sunscreen and if you care, the best time to walk to benefit from the free Vitamin D is between 11m and 2pm)?</span></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><b><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">4- Have a BBQ</span></b></div></b><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Fire up the grill and the smoker because it’s still summer! There is no better time to have a BBQ and invite your friends, neighbors, and family over. It’s a fun time and it’s a great way to bond with the people you care about. BBQ is also delicious and with all of the other activities you’ll be doing, it’ll be easy to keep the weight off too.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh781SRgIZn4l0ruWG0FwQxgHSx5pxzHqiEDK0bUEU3JPZtB3TP-_Ze43kckh5ieWZ2SeqAD0ttrn7-4L76XzLVcNzO-pxappYnvFEYpDerF7WU9Wd0KM-QZn8ZSoSyMqXleLLpA8c33BE-/s2048/IMG_0029.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh781SRgIZn4l0ruWG0FwQxgHSx5pxzHqiEDK0bUEU3JPZtB3TP-_Ze43kckh5ieWZ2SeqAD0ttrn7-4L76XzLVcNzO-pxappYnvFEYpDerF7WU9Wd0KM-QZn8ZSoSyMqXleLLpA8c33BE-/s16000/IMG_0029.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">5. Do some housework</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It is the safest period of the year to get up on your roof and finally clean out those gutters and re-shingle the roof. Your yard could probably use some TLC too and the siding on your house is probably in need of a good power wash. We have no doubt you have a to-do list and there is no better time to get it done than summer.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><b><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">6.

Start a garden</span></b></div></b><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">There is almost a primal satisfaction in making things grow out of the ground. A lot of people plant gardens and you should too. You can grow flowers, vegetables, fruits, or even herbs and spices. Finding what to grow can be fun and weeding your garden can be oddly calming and therapeutic. Plus at the end of the season, you can pick what you grow and use it for indoor decoration, like food, or spice food. That’s a win-win!</span></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">8. Plank yourself three times a day</span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Summertime is the best time to get yourself into shape. It’s nice outside which makes outdoor activities more fun. People generally lose weight over the summer because there is so much more to do. When we say plank, we don’t mean the silly thing that people do where they lie down on random things. We’re talking about the ab exercise that can help you firm up that tummy. If you start doing it now and keep going until fall, you’ll definitely see results!</span></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl7LxPt5n9J3uOMjZIu_-Lu55xKDofsepQyPUQsbftSrTHK0xJZFJE-vEZ1rFg0atzPNJYkNDlR_jKkAwns8XA63TTQ_V2UU2_PLIUB6ql6eAsvyqaMogMSxF8OfwOeKmxPRQ33NLzUoN0/s2048/IMG_0034.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl7LxPt5n9J3uOMjZIu_-Lu55xKDofsepQyPUQsbftSrTHK0xJZFJE-vEZ1rFg0atzPNJYkNDlR_jKkAwns8XA63TTQ_V2UU2_PLIUB6ql6eAsvyqaMogMSxF8OfwOeKmxPRQ33NLzUoN0/s16000/IMG_0034.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">9.

Smoothies are amazing and there are quite a few places that sell them. If you’re into making them at home you can find thousands of recipes. For adults, adding a little alcohol to them is never a bad idea. The Piña colada was invented for this time of year. Do yourself a favor and make yourself a nice big smoothie.</span></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">10.

It’s never too late to help those in need or to volunteer in places around your community; especially if you are in Haiti and are able to join one of those credible relief efforts. It is definitely a great way to end the Summer and to give back. Trust me, it is so rewarding.</span></div></div><div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0_1zWkmUx513TN_YOct1Jz2F1gKH5Ngu8vV1a3lNrhcMQTJAtwhyDn8eJkFjAoROdni5_Q2vyaDz45bCSg_oNzAtBuPG9xwcMdvWyWI_yAhFq12Dxvz0LKO2_sRdfeyVZQcDAzhUXgPdB/s2048/IMG_0033.jpg" style="clear: left;

Not only can you find what you want quickly and easily, but there is also no need to make a trip to the mall or store.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Instead, you can browse from your own home in your pajamas at any time of day, if you please! Online shopping has become more popular over the years as people realize how convenient it is.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span><a name='more'></a></span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Here Are Five Advantages Of Online Shopping</b></span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>1- You Can Shop Around Online</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">You have the opportunity to shop around online for your product, looking at prices from various stores. This is not only easy but saves you money!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">If one site has a lower price on an item than another store, it will be shown when you <a href="https://www.oberlo.com/blog/25-best-price-comparison-websites">compare </a>the side of the item by side. Not all sites are like this, so make sure that what you're seeing is accurate before making any purchases.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">For example, some retailers show their products with shipping costs included to look more appealing, while others include taxes and service charges, which may inflate the final amount of the purchase.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Although shopping online at <a href="https://cbdrethink.com/">CBD online store</a> can save time and energy compared to physically going out into public, it can also be time-consuming in its own right! You may find that you spend hours browsing through sites and stores looking for the best deal.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>2- Online Stores are Easier to Navigate</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">When shopping online, there is no need to worry about clunky aisles or complex displays, as everything will be presented cleanly on your screen. This makes comparing items much easier since they are all laid out before you without any extra frills getting in the way.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It's easy enough to compare prices by scrolling down one page, but if you want something specific like color options or more detailed product information than another site offers, just click on their page and find out!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This is much easier than taking yourself from store to store trying to uncover these little details that make all the difference.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>3-Online Stores Often Offer Better Deals</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In comparison, brick-and-mortar stores are limited due to the fixed costs of stocking their products in physical locations. At the same time, online shops can spread those expenses over much larger audiences without having any large capital investment required upfront.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">That means more savings for you!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>4-You Can Shop Safely and Securely Online</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">When shopping online, your <a href="https://www.kaspersky.com/resource-center/threats/how-safe-is-online-shopping">privacy and personal information</a> will always be protected. All transactions are made through an encrypted connection between the retailer's servers and your computer, which means no third party can access any sensitive data.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Furthermore, most sites offer security guarantees such as fraud protection or refund policies for those rare occasions where something goes wrong with the order fulfillment process. So if anything goes awry, it should never take long before everything gets sorted out, so there are "no worries."</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>5-You Can Shop Anytime and Anywhere Online</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">If you have a busy schedule, the flexibility of shopping online might suit your lifestyle better.

The two-piece sets are the most current fashionable outfits. Two-piece sets come in many styles and colors, and the biggest advantage of two-piece sets is that you can mix and match, to not only show your style but also maximize the choice in the closet. Matching sets doesn't just mean "pants suit". It can be a crop top and pants set, a blazer and pants, a bodysuit and pants, or a crop top and skirt, or shorts and crop top, and more. Most importantly, when wearing clothes, matching sets require little thought. Indeed, this effortless look allows you to go out in minutes!<span><a name='more'></a></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk5tZ82NJUOL9_QIqjl3274lGTDbZ1btjz3WSubRssV605TdsOOVmGA-gl5VSs2g9w2P8hJR6e8PWynJswCXEQ9CUtfSp95EBflpfIuLt655a_JXB169sQi_DPOtYhFCSuvJu7qdtII3n3/s2048/IMG_0098.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1788" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk5tZ82NJUOL9_QIqjl3274lGTDbZ1btjz3WSubRssV605TdsOOVmGA-gl5VSs2g9w2P8hJR6e8PWynJswCXEQ9CUtfSp95EBflpfIuLt655a_JXB169sQi_DPOtYhFCSuvJu7qdtII3n3/s16000/IMG_0098.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The 2 piece sets are perfect worn as the whole set but are also super versatile and can be styled in so many ways. Pair the tops with your favorite jeans, skirt or take the bottoms and add a crop top, tank top. No matter how you pair it we know you will love it. After you find the perfect two-piece suit, how do you pinpoint the shape? Layers of jewelry? sneakers? High heels? There are many options! Lately, I've been mostly into those PJ-inspired 2 pieces look. If you are a little hesitant to give this trend a try, here are a few tips to consider:</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYLeI8noMaHgXdE4d5_wr3_bQY3KRT9gALaK1-pR0-1kixYHMnvW28HQokOakGpZ1N0qt-NvAQtN-_s8xCAcAtto_98Uk6cZQ-LVjIrqEPnjXQBkjxY83RIbFx1bfB9i89cuiJzV0OKIuN/s16000/IMG_0096.jpg" /></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>1. Choose the right pattern or color</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">As with any outfits in your wardrobe, you need to choose a pattern or color that suits you. Your skin tone, hair color, and personality. With a matching set, you get double the pattern or color, so you want it to stand out and be stylish in the best way. It may be fun to choose a really bold pattern, but it will most likely not let you wear it over and over again. Choose something more neutral and classic so you can put it on again and again. And so you can separate and put them on.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWr7mLb5-zORLOnxnnIAbE99fzPajknHrG0qB7yyTDhEqg_5XMnE2qDPCQAKyBn_ihW8tO5b1bfADP9yQHCym9rZ-VzEDay6KYojP-xmC-8PcdrXEISO8AnPhu7t1dXSL3oc8CLEWF3WgC/s2048/IMG_0101.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1871" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWr7mLb5-zORLOnxnnIAbE99fzPajknHrG0qB7yyTDhEqg_5XMnE2qDPCQAKyBn_ihW8tO5b1bfADP9yQHCym9rZ-VzEDay6KYojP-xmC-8PcdrXEISO8AnPhu7t1dXSL3oc8CLEWF3WgC/s16000/IMG_0101.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>2.

A 7.2 magnitude earthquake was recorded on Saturday 14 August at around 0830h, in the southern region of Haiti. On August 16, a tropical depression resulting in flooding and landslides. On August 18, we also had a 4.6 magnitude earthquake with many strong aftershocks. Needless to say that we have hundreds of thousands of people without homes, food, water, and care. While relief efforts are helping as much as they can, I can't help but think that we are responsible for what is happening to us. Taking accountability is the first step in solving issues.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span><a name='more'></a></span></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtaRCmEwn2Lb6oq1vY0QnoPLIuQ_a4t3ATJzT9Yh7B7E2Ur8EjZwt3Vo51-vA_NSQzAMFHKrepzMumEDP-up1dQe7nLq9GptV79t3gvirr2SvkvqsNJrMQpJUkgEBT9n9z_Pv-HkhD9MvR/s1080/WhatsApp+Image+2021-08-20+at+16.32.27a.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="720" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtaRCmEwn2Lb6oq1vY0QnoPLIuQ_a4t3ATJzT9Yh7B7E2Ur8EjZwt3Vo51-vA_NSQzAMFHKrepzMumEDP-up1dQe7nLq9GptV79t3gvirr2SvkvqsNJrMQpJUkgEBT9n9z_Pv-HkhD9MvR/s16000/WhatsApp+Image+2021-08-20+at+16.32.27a.JPG" /></a></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">Before I go back to my regular blog post schedule, I felt the need to express my feelings thru what I've done best...

You can now enjoy the sun without having to bundle up in winter clothes. With all of these changes, it's essential to make sure your closet has everything you need for this season. We've put together a list of seven essentials that will have you looking stylish from sunup to sundown!</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a name='more'></a></span></div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/1734928335346613000/4146943319058518489?hl=en#" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9yyVB-48JlZmx7ZFYiOiDDjw5tqSyDL3GDmKOdGg_V6pJ9Yf9MK2d5cEo5fhV64dHk05TJpSh18lYtndIlI0a5RBjx7_pmKUzWhQPovyJmcDg86w3xLoT9nvFIck2p4Xvw3mF9_Jq_4H-/s16000/IMG_0132.jpg" /></a></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">#1 Swimsuit</span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The swimsuit is the most important item on this list. After slaving away at the gym to get that summer body back after the long winter months, you need <a href="https://www.webmd.com/diet/features/how-to-pick-the-right-swimsuit">the perfect swimsuit</a> to reward all your hard work! Make sure you have at least one flattering and appropriate suit in a few of your favorite colors! You'll need something for both backyard BBQs with family and friends as well as trips to the beach.</span></div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/1734928335346613000/4146943319058518489?hl=en#" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNGHFLCUz96COaU2-ujHvww7KTr5uaUNtHzODuvn6c8oKgKhO06BlIb-X6nXN6KxtbQHqOWJhsg-eSwGXHBfslqAXlmhRjKeRuWMmF7OCLSGgRrml9zBhH6zVPBH-DfW8WECHOM_V851N5/s16000/IMG_0135.jpg" /></a></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">#2 Jumpsuit</span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A jumpsuit is a fun way to mix up your summer wardrobe. They're great because they provide the same coverage as shorts but allow you to wear something more stylish than that old tee shirt and cut-offs combo. Plus, they can be dressed up or down depending on what type of occasion it is! Jumpsuits also always work perfectly for the summer heat - it's like wearing your pajamas.

Jumpsuits also always work perfectly for the summer heat - it's like wearing your PJs under clothes all day long!</span></div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/1734928335346613000/4146943319058518489?hl=en#" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl-pQ2i1zhtgGg00-TzNI9q4vgugoYTEj7TqDXCSlqpEIA0AR1rQwDmiZo4mH-fwtuzKkjGAvaG8MmBQbLG1VhTKgwFbtyMwXTcReVGcukQB40VYf2m9dLTBmw-qe1ktTqb2pOoeqycqF0/s16000/IMG_0138.jpg" /></a></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">#3 Sundress</span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A sundress is a perfect way to capture your summer style. They're feminine, playful, and always have a sense of chicness about them. Plus, they come in so many different types that you'll never get bored with what you can wear! You should think about investing in one or two over the next few days because there's nothing more satisfying than wearing something new when it finally feels like it's the season for it!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">You can never go wrong with a little number from <a href="https://www.memma.com/">Ronny Kobo</a>, and it will be the perfect dress to steal the show every time! And while we're talking fashion tips - skirt lengths are going to be an essential consideration this season as well. Make sure yours isn't too long (you might be surprised how short is considered appropriate these days) or too high (you don't want those legs to be on full display).</span></div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/1734928335346613000/4146943319058518489?hl=en#" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5eeqx7fshBcdAPMoCRQPxKxLlj7iVHdARQKZuCeIPWRad5pYufucB84FN-nBx87FzxqFL0_AvkmzY-aG3wPZ435cSsqoSwKQT30yb6uGRKfNRC6kYolEVSXBD45Yqz6kaoSvzPBJZBD-G/s16000/IMG_0137.jpg" /></a></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">#4 Comfortable Sandals</span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">You should always have a few pairs of sandals in your closet to choose from. Whether you're going on vacation or just spending the day at the pool, sandals are essential! Since last year, one thing that's changed is that ankle strap heels and platform flip flops are no longer acceptable. Instead, try looking for <a href="https://stylesatlife.com/articles/types-of-sandals/">something with good arch support</a> and a slide sole so you can walk around easily without having blisters by the end of the day - we recommend looking online for some brands like Nike because they've got everything you need (and if not, they'll ship it straight to your door).</span></div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/1734928335346613000/4146943319058518489?hl=en#" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmGKKtNafeyjMohgLiR6caTRzPNDisDN2P7gsPALHHkySLxH0eBm48CZnSZDy8DnBWNPF6uhJETgY-vfrMKlrLxs8aH3RXT8h93P_Hr9o9VdowmX8xnOA-lZ0JOQiUEpVwvQWmWjhaFm4P/s16000/IMG_0126.jpg" /></a></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">#5 T-shirts</span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">No summer can be complete without a t-shirt to wear every day. This essential item is perfect for those nights when you want something casual but still put together - use them as your uniform all season long! You'll need comfy basics like white and black, along with brighter colors that will help you stand out from the crowd (think reds and yellows).</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">When it comes to purchasing new shirts this year, look for ones made of natural fabric instead of synthetic materials. They're easier on sensitive skin while also being better for the environment because they don’t require excess water or energy during production. Plus, they just feel nicer against your body than their cheaper counterparts!</span></div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/1734928335346613000/4146943319058518489?hl=en#" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnOZ_DPegFh05Opo9EycmSdSvGowLzjfH0xZRLJBzjGN2mBi-hd9g9D0kcitJD_14PsWpeU_eebgUszySnblXHFj-YtovDLvc8ivs02KTC9v07ecj7adUrUKzVJnYZZ_wp5fTEnGHUKKcE/s16000/IMG_0127.jpg" /></a></div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">#6 Skirts</span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Skirts are another great way to mix up your summer wardrobe. Today's fashion showcases a longer hemline that fits just below the knees; pair them with a cute pair of sneakers and you'll feel great and be comfortable all day long! Graphic tees also look fantastic with these skirts, and they can down style the skirt if you have plans during the day with some friends.</span></div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="font-size: x-large; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/1734928335346613000/4146943319058518489?hl=en#" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWMTpgEW0HDhhRY3TaAXb0WJD9yPU9ij-a7kG_Uuvd2Jr_MPa9IBQkv6tHqa-3l_UCJxJx2oGkGWa5vz-JEj6R3uCrUsCqkAu026jZtLDz7uXqwR-0DNuOtR6H9Q_tH_W_7w_Fe5kjuiYO/s16000/IMG_0130.jpg" /></a></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">#7 Sunhat</span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The sunhat is the final item on this list. You need one that looks great, but also <a href="https://sassytownhouseliving.com/wearing-hats/">protects you from UV rays</a> and keeps sweat out of your eyes (always an issue in summer!). A wide-brimmed hat can do both jobs at once - if they're a little too expensive for you, then consider looking into some more affordable options like straw hats with wide brims or simple baseball caps to shade your face.</span></div><div style="font-size: x-large;

Of course, in the age of Instagram and Snapchat, what we wear to brunch (along with the food on our plates) is almost always documented.

It is a popular weekend activity for friends that generally takes place at cafes or brunch Center (one of my favorite place for Brunch is the "EggSpectation" in Maryland). A brunch outfit is an ensemble worn for this specific occasion. While there are no strict rules on what to wear to brunch, most ladies aim for a chic yet casual aesthetic with clothes that are comfortable and fashionable. So, what to wear to Brunch? Here's a few ideas.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPht_NQgD1yXJdV5AQ2j4yybnLLgwDtTBbHdbwehxbEkuHrQ8EC2weRvo4Z_7eQ1Y77HPz3UjLReUBCxHcDCMnzET0TUTNVlOmzbqNBjH_Ser-wzqaYjZXyqCqH4P6i3kDL12didhso7kY/s2048/IMG_0059.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1680" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPht_NQgD1yXJdV5AQ2j4yybnLLgwDtTBbHdbwehxbEkuHrQ8EC2weRvo4Z_7eQ1Y77HPz3UjLReUBCxHcDCMnzET0TUTNVlOmzbqNBjH_Ser-wzqaYjZXyqCqH4P6i3kDL12didhso7kY/s16000/IMG_0059.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Summer Brunch Outfits</span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A summer brunch calls for an outfit that’ll keep you feeling cool and looking chic. As such, loose dresses, skirts, and shorts made from lightweight materials make an excellent choice. To keep your look fun and fashionable as well as practical, embrace prints, bold colors, and playful accessories. For a look that’s sure to get a lot of like on your Instagram, try teaming a floral maxi dress with espadrilles or slides, slim sunglasses, and a straw bag.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUL5tkjqYfu9OKHiIwe95cb6TV17adFBhbS5LYdlVAo8KrH8Z5X1f-HmoXaeWp_2epsZDr58b__tGYAgi-B2ZeV3ycNx-44Z7bK18FXCMKI2iyobQbKqEuw1kz_WhR3hOyNqF_mQuGTUZV/s2048/IMG_0073.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUL5tkjqYfu9OKHiIwe95cb6TV17adFBhbS5LYdlVAo8KrH8Z5X1f-HmoXaeWp_2epsZDr58b__tGYAgi-B2ZeV3ycNx-44Z7bK18FXCMKI2iyobQbKqEuw1kz_WhR3hOyNqF_mQuGTUZV/s16000/IMG_0073.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Sunday Brunch Outfits</span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">When it comes to dressing for Sunday brunch, feeling comfortable and looking chic is important.

Today I have a very fun topic to chat about: Until what age I could wear a mini (short) skirt? I got this question a lot for skirts and shorts. Although, I addressed this topic last year (post available <a href="https://www.lamoumous.com/2020/03/5-ways-to-dress-sexy-without-showing.html" target="_blank">here</a>). I feel that there is something more I could say to offer you more clarity on the topic and boost your confidence just a little more when it comes to wearing a short skirt.

Pilots, mechanics, and even astronauts would wear coveralls or boilersuits to protect their other clothing, and many in these professions still do. In fashion, designers have harnessed the garment's utilitarian roots. At Max Mara's Spring/Summer 2021 show, we've seen lots of different jumpsuit styles from the form & function, Disco Dream, all suited up, and lux leather. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUancSohbcCdQwR4r2oj93yDq_ijJWQi46PNfBESdm13hY5ZhY0KxIy99W6qfSmytEPSQoCo4BobOvnvDtiXEKrI46had1FCEWoE232P0OL_eASDszaXn3jfd4RNYpdSOPpMhgVdFAxYJX/s2048/IMG_0118.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1973" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUancSohbcCdQwR4r2oj93yDq_ijJWQi46PNfBESdm13hY5ZhY0KxIy99W6qfSmytEPSQoCo4BobOvnvDtiXEKrI46had1FCEWoE232P0OL_eASDszaXn3jfd4RNYpdSOPpMhgVdFAxYJX/s16000/IMG_0118.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">If you haven't figured that out already, I had many posts wearing a jumpsuit.

While wearing a jumpsuit may make coordinating an outfit a much simpler task than most other garments, it still requires a bit of thought. Yes, you can just wear one item of clothing, but you still need to think about how you will accessorize it. Choose the wrong accessories, and the whole look can become sloppy and unstylish. To keep things chic, plan out your outfit, paying particular attention to your shoes, jewelry, and belt. After all, this statement style demands accessories that help it shine, so choose ones that match well. The goal is to find accessories with the dual ability to highlight your jumpsuit while breaking up its monotony at the same time. So you may want to think about the following style combination:</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJIrBnzsL_FaopZfJ_5LNaHonUSM7GG4LqBODQ-hCs4cEwSTWg2Dg3R_Epr9fJ_vtk-7UquHsHYYX-2TUM7GaL_65SbmoNLJ5FOKXOrGxXfGAL9vWyInEjqTTQZ-DfsCRs_SnKaUoNFEg4/s2048/IMG_0123.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1805" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJIrBnzsL_FaopZfJ_5LNaHonUSM7GG4LqBODQ-hCs4cEwSTWg2Dg3R_Epr9fJ_vtk-7UquHsHYYX-2TUM7GaL_65SbmoNLJ5FOKXOrGxXfGAL9vWyInEjqTTQZ-DfsCRs_SnKaUoNFEg4/s16000/IMG_0123.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>1- Add a Belt</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> A belt is a vital accessory to pulling off a jumpsuit, particularly if you’re still unsure about the style. By adding a belt to your jumpsuit, you’ll help define your waist in a highly flattering way. Even if the style is already fitted at the waist, a belt will help you appear slimmer and turn a column silhouette into an hourglass (work best for Triangle, Hourglass, slim rectangle, slim inverted rectangle body shape). For those who are still new to jumpsuits, we recommend trying a belt in a contrasting color to that of your jumpsuit. Doing so will add a new dimension to the outfit and break up the straight line of your jumpsuit, which can otherwise seem overwhelming. Try matching the color of your belt with your shoes for a well-put-together outfit.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG_kO25W5cFKSGbHmSSRd-MYjur4IG7DxMrrL3XdBi4p9FIpvldRCG6nIIoTkISxPFcKWIruXGt60vYag3kHnISPyQtCq2jNVyMIAynXrgpqwaYkWt5cGPT7oS93roonx6Y0OpaL7VBdxL/s2048/IMG_0119.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1855" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG_kO25W5cFKSGbHmSSRd-MYjur4IG7DxMrrL3XdBi4p9FIpvldRCG6nIIoTkISxPFcKWIruXGt60vYag3kHnISPyQtCq2jNVyMIAynXrgpqwaYkWt5cGPT7oS93roonx6Y0OpaL7VBdxL/s16000/IMG_0119.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>2- Statement Jewelry</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"> Jewelry creates a secondary focus point on your outfit, making your style go beyond that of just the jumpsuit. It creates an interesting detail that will draw the eyes of those around you. Choose pieces that will stand out, such as a chunky necklace or large pendant earrings. Gold tends to look great with formal jumpsuit styles while a pop of color can add some fun to casual styles.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3xtJ-658Gl-gE3vu3v9WIhN3yaIBKHheMhfTDPcU43ERrwkh49tykuuA7NVcHzGtE42LGDr-VblGBi_46eP6CxiEQfJJcDm0NII6MhrkwE1IuqBFa1DOnf0QoE1FICyXMRYeNHm5mQtfh/s2048/IMG_0122.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1700" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3xtJ-658Gl-gE3vu3v9WIhN3yaIBKHheMhfTDPcU43ERrwkh49tykuuA7NVcHzGtE42LGDr-VblGBi_46eP6CxiEQfJJcDm0NII6MhrkwE1IuqBFa1DOnf0QoE1FICyXMRYeNHm5mQtfh/s16000/IMG_0122.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>3- Go with High Heels</b></span></div></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">While jumpsuits can be flattering, they also have a knack for pulling the eye downwards as you look at them, making you appear shorter than you are. Wide-leg and low-waisted jumpsuits, in particular, are notorious for turning average height women into mini versions of themselves. One of the best ways to combat this problem is by adding a pair of high heels to your look. The additional height that you will receive from the heels will help lengthen your legs and make you appear taller. Just make sure that you choose slim heels instead of chunky ones to keep the look slick and long.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgI0wS-n4GSUYgNuDq-EMUP1G7tqMC3w_AcXNB3IQCT5zxcHFSo3xLDSsy50RmH3aZ9e0BxMll3TIsuLZVjgb3xCnrKZV1y4nfXC30OZwHTjsQAhgYauWG0ZLguPT2gqQXxgMrkltYaIKB/s2048/IMG_0117.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1716" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgI0wS-n4GSUYgNuDq-EMUP1G7tqMC3w_AcXNB3IQCT5zxcHFSo3xLDSsy50RmH3aZ9e0BxMll3TIsuLZVjgb3xCnrKZV1y4nfXC30OZwHTjsQAhgYauWG0ZLguPT2gqQXxgMrkltYaIKB/s16000/IMG_0117.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>4- Hairstyle</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">The final step to pulling off your jumpsuit look is deciding what to do with your hair. Whether you wear your hair up or down with your jumpsuit depends on a number of factors. While there’s no blanket rule for how you should wear your hair, there are some general guidelines that can make it easier to choose. For casual jumpsuits, wearing your hair down tends to look best as it goes with the relaxed feeling of the outfit. Try some loose beach waves or even a super low and loose ponytail. As casual jumpsuits tend to reveal more skin around the shoulders and chest, wearing your hair out also helps to balance the look. Formal jumpsuits, which tend to finish higher, look best with a polished updo. Not only will this style better suit your chic look, but it will also help lengthen your neck to avoid an overwhelming amount of coverage in the same shoulder/chest region.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-YrGUsJWC-Jn2h4G1CZohZWK-TGsfnyGJrNfZcbmwfFYG952_q6j3DLxspTMLaAdtrbhxdFAhTR8K3BFZTeLSqkZYO0ha9AgE5h0O6SwWPm0ryxQfyI7RewJQFnRloI6R69-QnFlUxKEs/s2048/IMG_0115.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1883" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-YrGUsJWC-Jn2h4G1CZohZWK-TGsfnyGJrNfZcbmwfFYG952_q6j3DLxspTMLaAdtrbhxdFAhTR8K3BFZTeLSqkZYO0ha9AgE5h0O6SwWPm0ryxQfyI7RewJQFnRloI6R69-QnFlUxKEs/s16000/IMG_0115.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>5- & Many more </b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">There are definitely some other accessories you might want to consider: a summer hat for a casual jumpsuit during summertime or a scarf in your ponytail :-).

For a cool casual look, wear a loose-fit jumpsuit that features an elasticated or drawstring waist. 5. Complete your jumpsuit look with fashionable accessories, such as jewelry, shoes, and belts, or use layering to add interest.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3rFMsDbqkBV2T5AIo42CwrQ3mEWSzcWtkfRzKQ2sDL9XNSulksTmn0mckYkH_UAckjhCA-laOb6zerDhxWzW0GbrgccdiePyhiPTH9B4VId43TFbrKELUlEX10eGobWQy9zCE7u67g0CM/s2048/IMG_0124.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2011" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3rFMsDbqkBV2T5AIo42CwrQ3mEWSzcWtkfRzKQ2sDL9XNSulksTmn0mckYkH_UAckjhCA-laOb6zerDhxWzW0GbrgccdiePyhiPTH9B4VId43TFbrKELUlEX10eGobWQy9zCE7u67g0CM/s16000/IMG_0124.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Outfit Details</b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">Jumpsuit <a href="https://www.instagram.com/champagneboutique/" target="_blank">@Champagne</a> | Clutch <a href="https://www.instagram.com/khiani_ht/" target="_blank">@Khiani</a> | Shoes<a href="https://www.instagram.com/maisondelachaussure/" target="_blank"> @Maisondelachaussure</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Sunglasses <a href="https://www.instagram.com/glamurboutiquehaiti/" target="_blank">@Glamurboutique</a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">So do you like wearing jumpsuits and what is your favorite way to style them?

Summer Sundays are beach/pool days and we are here for it. It doesn’t matter whether you’re running, surfing, playing beach volleyball, or lounging, there’s one thing that many people have in common and that’s their body image. Women (and men) all over the world have body image issues. A person could be a size 4 or they could be a size 16, and they might still share the same body confidence concerns. Body image is especially prevalent as soon as swimsuit season nears. Last bid attempts to diet, tone up, and search for that magical swimsuit, which is going to cover up all the lumps and bumps, take place in the run-up to summer. But even if a person does find that amazing swimsuit that covers everything up we might still feel insecure. So here is my ultimate guide to looking classy, elegant, and confident at the beach or the pool.<span><a name='more'></a></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsWdmHbtknIcgoiYEdLHU-lm-y3wXdoIPS-8KWx7YfmalK2vOv7xnEUjZMThl9TRVGJiDunQ8DLbiuCFgR34YgSd_kNN_BCDYhhz8GRi3sdIAUzUMRLH5QOOf7wXZQONNLr-aYgOyYwDD-/s2048/IMG_0282.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsWdmHbtknIcgoiYEdLHU-lm-y3wXdoIPS-8KWx7YfmalK2vOv7xnEUjZMThl9TRVGJiDunQ8DLbiuCFgR34YgSd_kNN_BCDYhhz8GRi3sdIAUzUMRLH5QOOf7wXZQONNLr-aYgOyYwDD-/s16000/IMG_0282.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">One-piece bathing suits are flattering for every body type. They come in a variety of styles, colors, and silhouettes. You can easily style a one-piece for a trip to the beach or as part of your day-to-day style in place of a bodysuit. Choose your bathing suit based on the look you are going for, and pair it with shorts, skirts, dresses, cover-ups. kaftans and kimonos or accessories like flip flops (I much prefer leather sandals for a more elegant look), wedges, and necklaces.

There are many ways you can feel good before the clothes when it comes to your wardrobe. Here are five easy steps to be confident in your new look:<span><br /><br /><a name='more'></a></span></span></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Exfoliate and Moisturize Your Skin</span></b></h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Exfoliate at least once a week (or more if necessary) with a gentle scrub or body lotion for the most effective results. Moisturize daily after a shower and before bedtime so that your skin has a chance to recover overnight. Find products without parabens and invest in an anti-aging moisturizer that will give you the proper nutrients for your skin type.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Visit the Dentist</b></span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Keeping up with dental health will keep you smiling and more confident. Also, brush your teeth in the morning and before bedtime - this will help maintain oral hygiene so that plaque doesn't build up as much on teeth surfaces. Visit dentists for regular <a href="http://www.riderfamilydentistry.com/">dental care</a> checkups at least once or twice per year.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Exercise Regularly</b></span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Exercise doesn't need to be strenuous or complicated, but at least <a href="https://www.nccih.nih.gov/health/yoga-what-you-need-to-know#:~:text=Research%20suggests%20that%20yoga%20may,type%20headaches%20and%20knee%20osteoarthritis.">30 minutes of yoga each day</a> will refresh your mind and body. If time allows, try other forms of physical activity such as running in a park or going for a leisurely walk. Remember that getting enough sleep helps too.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Eat a Nutritious and Balanced Diet</b></span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A <a href="https://www.lamoumous.com/2015/04/top-10-food-for-beautiful-healthy-hair.html">nutritious and balanced diet</a> will help you feel energized, healthy, and confident. The best time to start eating right is now! Swap out processed foods with whole foods like fruits, vegetables, eggs, and yogurt for breakfast. You'll be amazed at how much better you feel after just a few days of changing up what's in your fridge.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Moreover, drink water instead of sugary sodas or fruit juice which can lead to weight gain and tooth decay over time. Also, try adding lemon slices of cucumber to your water for a refreshing twist. Finally, opt for healthy fats, such as olive oil or avocado, in place of saturated fats.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Do Your Nails, Toes, and Hair</span></b></h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">You might spend time and energy hoping for a glamorous outer appearance. Yet neglect getting a good night's sleep or <a href="https://www.clevergirlfinance.com/blog/pamper-yourself-on-a-budget/">pampering yourself in other ways</a>. But once you get your nails done, your hair styled, and a massage, it will help boost how you feel about all aspects of life! So take today to make an effort to enhance your beauty.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Conclusion</span></b></h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">You don't have to wait for the clothes to feel good. Instead, practice mindfulness; take time to explore our moods and feelings to feel more positive. Also, improve other aspects of life like sleep habits or eating routines that will help us feel better on the inside.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Ultimately, your self-appreciation journey will begin and change both your physical appearance and how you view yourself. Therefore, you don't have to wait for the clothes to make you happy because you can initiate the process beforehand!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thanks for stopping by.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">XoXo,</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Moumous</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Linking up with those wonderful ladies here</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">*Collaborative Post</div>Moumoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02413520810267926890noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1734928335346613000.post-58658882197192012702021-07-31T11:53:00.004-04:002021-07-31T11:54:08.243-04:00Style Inspiration: How to Style your Maxi Dress Day to Night<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKCmGqS7YmnobEA-y8D001yx70ublUoECVqmTPDG6CNtdaJ92w7ep1r4_4gwhjnC0EmQaoKGMze4DUhrc5QXT7nj9xSGbqOF0HQ21RXcPRFdhMImgmzxG60AKhy7JU0hFge8Lip3md4QSq/s2048/IMG_0010.jpg" style="clear: left; display: inline; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1643" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKCmGqS7YmnobEA-y8D001yx70ublUoECVqmTPDG6CNtdaJ92w7ep1r4_4gwhjnC0EmQaoKGMze4DUhrc5QXT7nj9xSGbqOF0HQ21RXcPRFdhMImgmzxG60AKhy7JU0hFge8Lip3md4QSq/s16000/IMG_0010.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hi everyone,</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Always on-trend and so versatile, maxi dresses are a year-round wardrobe essential.

If you’re planning on wearing a maxi dress during the day, you need a casual, versatile maxi dress that’s easy to move around in. Opting for a printed, colorful, or embellished maxi dress is fine, but the key to perfecting a daytime maxi dress look is dressing it down. Try it with trainers and an everyday handbag or opt for casual flat sandals and a pair of sunglasses for two classic daytime looks. If you want to wear your maxi dress to work, simply smarten it up with a blazer, belt, and ankle boots. You can also wear it with a denim jacket.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlnVOfwBJZpmto21z-1QyHfUWYD-F3oNMAB6FGZu5fUKOo0ZY8ZtGzPKq6DveCl4FZagNTClqRQW6mWI-USwSp3C-4lTzzHdILDRmHlM6PRjv4RfB-YDVqpcDnbyVekBy44eThxPvovNi-/s2048/IMG_0011.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1558" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlnVOfwBJZpmto21z-1QyHfUWYD-F3oNMAB6FGZu5fUKOo0ZY8ZtGzPKq6DveCl4FZagNTClqRQW6mWI-USwSp3C-4lTzzHdILDRmHlM6PRjv4RfB-YDVqpcDnbyVekBy44eThxPvovNi-/s16000/IMG_0011.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>3- Maxi Dress for Evening. </b>For those who want to wear a maxi dress in the evening, a more formal maxi dress is best. Opt for a statement color or print in a luxe fabric like lace, velvet, or satin for an elegant evening look. If you’re attending a party or are an evening guest at a wedding, an embellished dress can add some sophisticated sparkle to your outfit. Both long and short-sleeved maxi dresses are perfect for an evening event. Wear it with gold or silver tone heeled sandals, a clutch, and some fancy jewelry. Adding a nice scarf or a dressy cropped cardigan is always welcome for those chilly nights.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1qycQXoB_aawmUUsJ2gNGaajhb61JfJvosqzfNbOj5e9UztHamKvOQPVQfY-wy81niEp0-mYhYhkQO9a1p_uCEm3IQ6J5yrgsOKQakFFjHKd8yiTdozAzSfk5YdTs5i0XBtyscp_09Sza/s2048/IMG_0013.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1365" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1qycQXoB_aawmUUsJ2gNGaajhb61JfJvosqzfNbOj5e9UztHamKvOQPVQfY-wy81niEp0-mYhYhkQO9a1p_uCEm3IQ6J5yrgsOKQakFFjHKd8yiTdozAzSfk5YdTs5i0XBtyscp_09Sza/s16000/IMG_0013.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>4- Maxi Dress for Date night:</b> A maxi dress is definitely an elegant way to show off your upper body attributes without doing too much. Don't forget to accessorize: layer a necklace in a plunging neckline, go for this cute min bag... So many styling options for you to play with. You can also through a leather jacket on your shoulders for a more sophisticated and trendy look with combat boots or nice heeled sandals.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitDhxheIKSjw-IjL0lhGrhC8ym3Y7GGm7QIy1Hfh7fmUaki7ao4SwHpxrqoy2apqWuMgbn9kQD7A_DkCBrPvdqDGaF1wiah9vVqqMkT0sLzjx8-15frfXxO0-yHp6e07cBfcATBzLqeY8A/s2048/IMG_0014.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1839" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitDhxheIKSjw-IjL0lhGrhC8ym3Y7GGm7QIy1Hfh7fmUaki7ao4SwHpxrqoy2apqWuMgbn9kQD7A_DkCBrPvdqDGaF1wiah9vVqqMkT0sLzjx8-15frfXxO0-yHp6e07cBfcATBzLqeY8A/s16000/IMG_0014.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>5- Maxi Dress in the cold.</b> When styling your maxi dress for winter and colder weather, layering is key. Maxi dresses are long and flowing, covering your legs in colder months. For extra layering on casual sleeveless maxi dresses, wear a turtleneck or long sleeve top below your dress. Don’t worry about what shoes to wear with your maxi dress when it’s cold either. Wearing a maxi dress with boots is the ideal solution in winter and the colder months. Stylish and comfortable, ankle or knee-length boots are ideal for pairing with your maxi dress. To complete your outfit, add a chunky cardigan or coat and you’re set to go.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2X4hYtXQucYouTo1oeklOchnqtQNQ4wMNqXK88L5-PkjQPPEJu9uGtEP2AX7GikYDzjV7UmwlQD6KQ1plOEfeu-O7iEA6dutUpDUpTPngvD-RUkUbo3vigDBUqYvKaEX2Csa1jevm_gtC/s2048/IMG_0016.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1988" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2X4hYtXQucYouTo1oeklOchnqtQNQ4wMNqXK88L5-PkjQPPEJu9uGtEP2AX7GikYDzjV7UmwlQD6KQ1plOEfeu-O7iEA6dutUpDUpTPngvD-RUkUbo3vigDBUqYvKaEX2Csa1jevm_gtC/s16000/IMG_0016.jpg" /></a></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But before we start, it is important to recognize your body shape. Every woman’s body is different and the fit of clothing can enhance your shape. Knowing parts of your body you’d like to highlight definitely helps you find the most flattering maxi dress for your shape. Keep in mind you may be petite if you are under 5’4” (162 cm) or plus size if you wear larger than a US size 16. Research different styles to decide on what you like and what might look great on you.

Our job is to make sure we limit the pain of the downs and fully enjoy the ups. This rollercoaster of life will not exactly go away, so we have to make the most of the time we have.<span><a name='more'></a></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Self-esteem and confidence are two things that absolutely should be a part of your life. Nobody deserves to be limited by the thoughts in their head. We only have a small amount of time on this planet in the grand scheme, so we should all absolutely slay and do every day properly!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It’s one thing talking about it, and one thing actually doing it, however. If it was easy to pick yourself up after falling a little, then we’d probably all do it, right? Well, it can be done – we just need to be consistent and stick at a few things. Here are seven ideas for those of you who need a boost of self-esteem:</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Remember Who You Are</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It can be hard to do at times. When you’re feeling a little down or someone has made you feel a little insignificant, you might start to go into your shell. You might start doubting yourself and thinking that you’re not good enough. You can do that for a little while if you’d like, but then you have to remember that you’re a smart, charming, beautiful human who can literally conquer most things in life. Never forget it. Yes, you.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Don’t Go Chasing A Relationship</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">While some people crave the love and attention of a better half, chasing after someone will likely only end in heartbreak. Sure, you might get lucky, but why take that chance? Love will find you when you’re ready and when they are ready. Chase your goals and make a wonderful life for you to be proud of – then worry about people coming into it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Take Care Of Your Skin</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">When we see blemishes, dryness, and all sorts of problems with our skin, it can lower our morale. While there are bigger problems in life, this kind of personal issue can plague us if we’re not careful. Keeping this vital organ in the best possible condition matters more than you might think. So, drink lots of water, get into a routine, and check out the likes of <a href="https://lilyananaturals.com/">lilyananaturals.com</a> to find the best product to complement your skin.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Stay On Your Purpose</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">We mentioned it slightly before, but if you stick to things in life that drive your passion, then you’ll be fine. Chase after this kind of mission. If you have the motivation to get up in the morning and work towards something that you love, then you’ll become more and more positive each day.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Adjust Your Style A Little</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This isn’t a case of telling you that you NEED to change things up, of course. This is just a little advice about variety and freshening up. A lot of people stick to the same stuff for years. While this is okay, changing your look can really do things for the way you view yourself. You can fall in love with yourself all over again – it’s a confidence booster a lot of the time.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Work On Your Energy And Nutrition</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">So many people feel down about themselves because of the way their brains are being fed. They’re not only fed with toxic information; they’re fed with hardly any nutrients. It’s not just the body that needs food, water, and sleep. Get enough water, eat more food, and get enough rest – you WILL benefit from this. Think about <a href="https://www.lamoumous.com/2021/07/the-benefits-of-picking-right-clothes.html">working out</a> whenever you can, too - the better your fitness, the more energy you’ll have every day.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Work Hard At Everything You Do From Here On</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">There’s something about working hard that we all love. If you can instill a <a href="https://www.saintleo.edu/blog/how-to-develop-a-good-work-ethic-in-5-easy-steps">good work ethic</a> into your life, then you’re going to make life a lot easier. The feeling of accomplishing something and knowing that you’ve got a good done will allow you to view yourself in a better light. We feel useless when we haven’t much gone on. Whatever it is you’re doing – be it domestic work or a side hustle – make sure you put lots of effort in. Don’t go in half-heartedly. If you come up short, then so be it. If you really accomplish something – even better! Also, don’t get down if you fail and feel as though all of the efforts were for nothing – that’s a toxic kind of attitude that we’re trying to avoid!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thanks for stopping by</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">XoXo,</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Moumous</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Linking up with those wonderful ladies <a href="https://www.lamoumous.com/p/link-up-pages.html" target="_blank">here</a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">***This is a collaborative post</div>Moumoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02413520810267926890noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1734928335346613000.post-91851134336391149872021-07-29T00:00:00.192-04:002021-07-29T00:00:00.222-04:0015 Approved Summer 2021 Trends<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWZH4fNCjHtNPZq8hKZKynMwVCKYyrHpo-FjMzruRBBrcrDu8wvJEEqH69qOLoh-MRraob4xm1-cGTg_dBvYleSjgkPGL9CXuHPLxjq6pT9I-IRj96hB2hUEKIAV1Mo7iLbTlFgJaFYpfT/s2048/IMG_0048.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1856" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWZH4fNCjHtNPZq8hKZKynMwVCKYyrHpo-FjMzruRBBrcrDu8wvJEEqH69qOLoh-MRraob4xm1-cGTg_dBvYleSjgkPGL9CXuHPLxjq6pT9I-IRj96hB2hUEKIAV1Mo7iLbTlFgJaFYpfT/s16000/IMG_0048.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hi everyone,</span></div><p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">I know it's late to welcome Summer 2021 but, better late than ever.

But, what if we told you the absolute best fashion trends for summer 2021 are probably in your wardrobe? There's a good chance many, if not all, are already sitting in your closet.

I worked for the largest telecom/ Technology corporations in my country with 10 years in key decision-making positions. And I still have a managerial position at a local Technology consultancy firm headquartered in the States. Although my Image Consulting, Style & Life Coaching business is still young, I think I can share a few tips on how to be successful growing a business or how to be successful at your job so you can quickly work your way up. With all the current uncertainties especially if you are living in Haiti just like me, one may think that starting a business right now might not be a bright idea.

It will help you complete tasks and stay on top of things to be done. A good way to be organized is to create a to-do list each day. As you complete each item, check it off your list. This will ensure that you’re not forgetting anything and completing all the tasks that are essential to the survival of your business.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>2. Keep Detailed Records</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">All successful businesses keep detailed records. By doing so, you’ll know where the business stands financially and what potential challenges you could be facing. Just knowing this gives you time to create strategies to overcome those challenges.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsWItsKstZu2S4bKaOJpP_BLrdh9vnixmI8QhdyotD3F4umAR6grp69SvVKb4mgdCLyjR9XogKhspKWfVauRRCMG-u1jqzlgv-J47ezIvtUGKbpwcjwwTGpyroaDBQN7MbF1HlAiu5e6S4/s2048/IMG_9936.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1882" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsWItsKstZu2S4bKaOJpP_BLrdh9vnixmI8QhdyotD3F4umAR6grp69SvVKb4mgdCLyjR9XogKhspKWfVauRRCMG-u1jqzlgv-J47ezIvtUGKbpwcjwwTGpyroaDBQN7MbF1HlAiu5e6S4/s16000/IMG_9936.jpg" /></a><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>3.

A good question to ask is “What’s the downside?” If you can answer this question, then you know what the worst-case scenario is. This knowledge will allow you to take the kinds of calculated risks that can generate tremendous rewards.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Understanding risks and rewards include being smart about the timing of starting your business. For example, did the severe economic dislocation of 2020 provide you with an opportunity (say, manufacturing and selling face masks) or an impediment (opening a new restaurant during a time of social distancing and limited seating allowed)?</span></div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8wLjtSmJpD4z2wgZJmq0aeEt9Xlo3JELfq95AuIYZqlrTOgmFIjWvefaDgSk4pKl-J66uQjc5_ceNYFzLHIjZpMOzus5InaTnuuEUh-6d1qC38C69WAPuLxnplj4hntE6gnX9SOSKGKix/s2048/IMG_9945.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8wLjtSmJpD4z2wgZJmq0aeEt9Xlo3JELfq95AuIYZqlrTOgmFIjWvefaDgSk4pKl-J66uQjc5_ceNYFzLHIjZpMOzus5InaTnuuEUh-6d1qC38C69WAPuLxnplj4hntE6gnX9SOSKGKix/s16000/IMG_9945.jpg" /></a><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>5. Be Creative</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Always be looking for ways to improve your business and make it stand out from the competition. Recognize that you don’t know everything and be open to new ideas and different approaches to your business.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>6. Stay Focused</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The old saying “Rome wasn’t built in a day” applies here. Just because you open a business doesn’t mean you’re going to immediately start making money. It takes time to let people know who you are, so stay focused on achieving your short-term goals.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>7. Prepare to Make Sacrifices</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The lead-up to starting a business is hard work, but after you open your doors, your work has just begun. In many cases, you have to put in more time than you would if you were working for someone else, which may mean spending less time with family and friends to be successful.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>8. Provide Great Service</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">There are many successful businesses that forget that providing great customer service is important. If you provide better service for your customers, they’ll be more inclined to come to you the next time they need something instead of going to your competition.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>9. Be Consistent</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Consistency is a key component to making money in business. You have to keep doing what is necessary to be successful day in and day out. This will create long-term positive habits that will help you make money in the long run.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLrMhBCHC1raSN4wX202z_YzJxaAKRMvVVYLgPG3Kw_st5PSR4qUAfUcJvpyCyaZ2BJTLlRwhaFtLPvMb7ik3v7zZs1bhspaM7uLf3LwuOPA2JHcO_2fkOXHOpWZfowrvBVPTR2tuQP73a/s2048/IMG_9935.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1905" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLrMhBCHC1raSN4wX202z_YzJxaAKRMvVVYLgPG3Kw_st5PSR4qUAfUcJvpyCyaZ2BJTLlRwhaFtLPvMb7ik3v7zZs1bhspaM7uLf3LwuOPA2JHcO_2fkOXHOpWZfowrvBVPTR2tuQP73a/s16000/IMG_9935.jpg" /></a><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Also, be open to constructive criticism.

I meant to write a post on what to wear to a funeral for quite some time now but it never seemed appropriate until today. I always feel frustrated when I see someone attending a funeral in denim or in a too provocative outfit. From an all-red look to a completely black one, let's take a look into the funeral dress code.<span><a name='more'></a></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyeWalFdYNd2ujYl7doEnnjmmq-e2TrrgtuJB8V98R8btXtmg_AhowPytBTzCYSwMhe8NB15obNsoSnbU_mof7PdJk0SqtUN_N3gnCLzDZHo9yUGj3zOHitl7FM6yEmYmL6MJGhq0l7tgJ/s2048/IMG_0090.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1842" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyeWalFdYNd2ujYl7doEnnjmmq-e2TrrgtuJB8V98R8btXtmg_AhowPytBTzCYSwMhe8NB15obNsoSnbU_mof7PdJk0SqtUN_N3gnCLzDZHo9yUGj3zOHitl7FM6yEmYmL6MJGhq0l7tgJ/s16000/IMG_0090.jpg" /></a><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Because a funeral is a somber occasion, it is best to dress in conservative colors and styles. You don't have to wear all black, but it is acceptable to do so. You will probably want to avoid a bright floral dress or wild print or neon necktie unless the family of the deceased asks you to. If you're getting ready to attend a funeral, you might be wondering what you should or shouldn't wear. It's important to dress in a manner that respects the occasion.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwiP-nbFGC68qawcGaLSLEH61iKrxcs0xuDYurmg8PWeJrxQ1IkRFG-yJwO5COa4pAXqDPeKjtgr_GgE4umTUusiHSGtOc86SGklCr4BvpNOiy0P7k7PM9q-JvWK2XeThirKMaIjnN8Vpz/s2048/IMG_0085.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1773" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwiP-nbFGC68qawcGaLSLEH61iKrxcs0xuDYurmg8PWeJrxQ1IkRFG-yJwO5COa4pAXqDPeKjtgr_GgE4umTUusiHSGtOc86SGklCr4BvpNOiy0P7k7PM9q-JvWK2XeThirKMaIjnN8Vpz/s16000/IMG_0085.jpg" /></a><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Avoid miniskirts, low-cut blouses or dresses, denim, and spandex.

No baseball caps or knitted caps should be worn to funerals. The hat should be a dress hat, such as one that is part of a military uniform, or a more formal style such as a fedora (for men) or Derby (women). I usually went for a Derby hat but lately, I wore this fascinator (not appropriate but I fixed it as a pillbox).</span></li></ol></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglM14WWacq709p_Ai95Zc6OJG12qBM7hZemD8NS8yQTCqGIF_vMmthe6afepwoAr7EsuQPNIlRuNRjV9V7J0Q5JL-nV5Y4mOSWXnG4A1DHENMzhj1xCPWaUYQNFV9Qw5dpzeAFUvtolnuG/s2048/IMG_0093.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1963" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglM14WWacq709p_Ai95Zc6OJG12qBM7hZemD8NS8yQTCqGIF_vMmthe6afepwoAr7EsuQPNIlRuNRjV9V7J0Q5JL-nV5Y4mOSWXnG4A1DHENMzhj1xCPWaUYQNFV9Qw5dpzeAFUvtolnuG/s16000/IMG_0093.jpg" /></a><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">There are quite a few myths about funerals that you don't need to worry about.

However, if you are not related to the deceased, you can wear navy blue, grey, white, or off-white (cream) as well. However, you should still wear something subdued and conservative. In my culture, people also wear violet (the darkest shade of purple) to funerals. However, I am glad to notice that it tends to disappear. I have mixed feelings about this color choice.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-geOUnamJ7UPY1uzS16CHcJxOO6vyJbkxcTup_rkq3m7jyb15jEsMuoger-l3kxEVZEc8EQTNPuCT0Dq36dDlAMzFjbGQHOYhec4cicdlf_eJzK-4ppAEpsi8fkBPIKulls-ajNFfD9jz/s2048/IMG_0082.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; font-size: medium; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1745" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-geOUnamJ7UPY1uzS16CHcJxOO6vyJbkxcTup_rkq3m7jyb15jEsMuoger-l3kxEVZEc8EQTNPuCT0Dq36dDlAMzFjbGQHOYhec4cicdlf_eJzK-4ppAEpsi8fkBPIKulls-ajNFfD9jz/s16000/IMG_0082.jpg" /></a><span style="font-size: large;"></span></div><h3 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">What Men Should Not Wear to a Funeral</span></h3><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Men shouldn't wear sports caps or anything with writing on them. Leave your graphic and printed T-shirts, your denim, and overly slim fit pants in the drawer, and opt for something more subtle and conservative. Don't add a vibrantly printed tie, unless there is a reason to do otherwise.

In the midst of all this, a lot of positive things are also happening to me and I feel grateful (I will say more in the coming days). On a more positive note, I decided to make a comeback in a red monochromatic outfit (we will talk about the power and meaning of colors in the next post). For now, here are 5 reasons why you should consider a monochromatic look.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span><a name='more'></a></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1gNuQv0B_D9dMFthCWc6Y1VxTvpqpft_Zo_zTpB5Svoeiy_nv9tk8uhYXd2aTCuUad0sX82CbiG-aHJpippunJya2QEnv8BN2pL5N0WSUWUpwTevfMyIOSK0PFwxJLcWF6faL2tOFXeQm/s2048/IMG_9959.jpg" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1868" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1gNuQv0B_D9dMFthCWc6Y1VxTvpqpft_Zo_zTpB5Svoeiy_nv9tk8uhYXd2aTCuUad0sX82CbiG-aHJpippunJya2QEnv8BN2pL5N0WSUWUpwTevfMyIOSK0PFwxJLcWF6faL2tOFXeQm/s16000/IMG_9959.jpg" /></a></div><h4 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But before we move forward, What is Monochromatic</span></h4><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJRBPRUW8VZxERIb80KD66jBSB5syfUN9z0oa-WCtE8g2UUvLvTl1GsfDgJk5ZStfB43mHK05U8r0ujg_Exr1aMcnleCgZgPL3XK7NWRsAbch198dDr_EEyhxnKdcMAVWNNfhT5FBbrniw/s1200/1200px-CPT-Websites-monochrome.svg.png" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1188" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJRBPRUW8VZxERIb80KD66jBSB5syfUN9z0oa-WCtE8g2UUvLvTl1GsfDgJk5ZStfB43mHK05U8r0ujg_Exr1aMcnleCgZgPL3XK7NWRsAbch198dDr_EEyhxnKdcMAVWNNfhT5FBbrniw/s16000/1200px-CPT-Websites-monochrome.svg.png" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The word “monochromatic” breaks down into two pieces: “mono” meaning single and “chromatic” meaning color.

When you do go out, you’re wearing a mask most of the time so you can get away with not following your normal beauty routine. However, as things start to get back to normal, you will be attending more social events and you’ll want to look your best. If you have let things slip a bit during the lockdowns, you should follow this simple beauty checklist to make sure that you look amazing when you finally do start going out again.<span><a name='more'></a></span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Face Masks</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Following <a href="https://www.lamoumous.com/2019/10/my-face-skincare-regimen-update-10-tips.html" target="_blank">a good skin routine</a> is important if you want your skin to glow, but many people have neglected this over the last year. You may notice that your skin is dry and a little dull, and you might have more spots and blemishes than usual. It’s important that you return to your normal routine of exfoliating and moisturizing but you also need to tackle any skin issues that you have developed during the lockdown, and face masks are perfect for that. A good quality face mask will remove excess dry skin and clean your pores out, so you have a good base to work with. Then, you can resume your normal skin routine and get your skin looking amazing again.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Dental Health</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Looking after your dental health is so important because your smile is one of the first things people notice when they meet you. Now that your smile will no longer be hidden under a mask, you need to make sure that your teeth and gums are in perfect condition. Unfortunately, with many dentists limiting their appointments to emergencies only, a lot of people have missed out on important appointments. Many of us have slipped into bad eating habits too, and lots of sugary snacks may have done damage to our teeth. So, as you prepare to get back to normal, get a checkup from the dentist. You should also consider some cosmetic treatments like teeth whitening (visit <a href="https://www.drlancesavoie.com/" target="_blank">http://www.drlancesavoie.com/</a> for more information). Poor dental health can really knock your confidence and make the transition back to normal life a lot harder, so make sure you get a checkup right away.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Rethink Your Wardrobe</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Getting dressed up and going out with your friends is even more of an occasion than it used to be because we haven’t been able to do it for so long.

In some cases, this can be good, but it can also leave your hair very dry and damaged. Deep conditioning treatments can replenish your hair and get it looking amazing again.
