CONTINUATION OF FASHION BASICS...

-
... 5. Simplicity Is Best: Staying simple is usually the best way to go. This goes for both makeup and wardrobe items. When in doubt, keep the accessories to a minimum and use timeless, classic fashion styles, such as a black dress with red pumps. When wearing makeup, you should use only enough to highlight the best features of your face; cheekbones, lips, or eyes, for example. 6. Don’t Break the Bank: You don’t have to buy the most expensive items to be fashionable. Less expensive items can work just as well, especially if they play toward your strengths. 7. Take Note of Fashion Trends: You should keep your eyes on the latest fashion trends. That said, you should only adopt those styles that match their body type and personality. If the latest fashions do not look good on you and accentuate your strong points, it doesn’t matter if those fashions are in style or not. Read magazines such as Allure, ELLE, and Fashion Magazine to keep up on the latest styles. This allows you to keep up with the latest fashion news and trends, especially in regard to upcoming seasonal options. 8. Accessories Make the Outfit: Shoes and other accessories can make or break an outfit. A perfect belt or piece of jewelry can really tie an outfit together and make a statement. Another important tip: Do not overdo the accessories. As stated above,you should keep your outfits simple. This goes double for makeup, as too much looks gaudy and draws too much attention away from the entire ensemble. Mix and match accessories between outfits. Also, neutral colors and blacks and browns are best to extend the use of accessories between outfits. 9. Tailor an Outfit: If you can afford it, you should have your outfits properly tailored to fit your body. Wearing clothes that look custom made is a first step towards taking a standard look from plain to fashionable. 10. Implement the Basics: The basic wardrobe items every woman should own include a black dress, a blazer , a pair of great-fitting denim jeans , a classic pump , a neutral handbag (black, brown, or both), a leather jacket, and a ballet flat . With just these few articles of clothing and accessories, you can come up with a fashionable ensemble on the spur of the moment. Neutral colors, blacks, and browns are best for establishing a basic fashion wardrobe. Throw in some whites, such as a blouse or pumps , and you are set... Useful?

WATER, A CURE FOR DANDRUFF!

-
For about six years before now, I struggled with dandruff on my hair. I tried several means just to cure this hair ailment but to no avail. I did the two-week interval washing, I used several kinds of antidandruff treatment, at a point I even thought it was something that should be dealt with internally and I had to use antibiotics and herbs, still the dandruff persisted. It got so frustrating that I almost took it as a fate because each time I applied oil, my scalp got dried almost immediately making it seem like I never applied cream or oil for days. I changed shampoos, hair creams and treatments, I used shea butter, olive oil, EVO, and even all combined, I remember a friend calling me 'danddy' because that name sounded like an abbreviation for dandruff, plus the dandruff usually caused a painful scalp for me. Finally, thank God for my friend, Angela who made me understand.that dryness is not necessarily caused by lack of oil but more importantly, lack of water and so, she

      I'm not in a very good position to give relationships advice. But, during one of my reflection times some days back, I realized by the Spirit of God, how much power of choice we have as females when it comes to whom we give our heart to, who we get to marry, who we get to give the chance of a date with us.      The question is; If we have this power, why then do we still make choices we later regret. The truth is that, some of these mistakes, or factors causing these mistakes can be avoided through several ways of which the most important is seeking the heart desire of the creator of man himself. He sees and knows what we don't, he knows the end from the beginning, and the beginning from the end.       Therefore, one of the most important things is to seek the will of God, which will guide you in choosing rightly.       In case you didn't know, your relationships can make you a more beautiful and complete woman or otherwise. I pray we all make the right choice.
