A Inner Glow!

I have been one to always obsess over my skin. I have extremely sensitive skin so trying new products on my face always makes me nervous. However, I have been in a season of my life that I am focusing more on my inner health. I have had acne most of my life and I have finally found the solution for me! You know that saying , "You are what you eat". Well I really believe that. I have seen my face transform and have a smooth glow that I have never seen before and it is all contributed to my diet. You know, feeling good about yourself has to come from the inside before we have the strength, will and desire to want to make changes on the outside. Here are some things that I am doing in this area.

Garden of Life is a great brand. They are organic. I have been taking green supplements for awhile now. It is a great source of chlorophyll which helps fight many illnesses and enhances energy.  It also helps your body to detox all the toxins, resulting in skin glowing with a renewed freshness.

If you would rather take liquid instead of supplements then I would recommend Wheatgrass as another option for greens. Some people have a hard time with the taste of it. I actually like it! Plus you only have to take 1oz a day. Wheatgrass is extremely beneficial for immunity support and energy. I can also tell a difference in my appearance when I drink wheatgrass daily.  Check out this website to read more about the benefits of wheatgrass. www.dynamicgreens.com

Cod Liver Oil is also another great source for skin repair. It is a great source of vitamins. Try taking a tablespoon of Cod Liver Oil daily. It has tons of other wonderful benefits as well. To learn more check out the website. http://www.homeremediesweb.com/cod-liver-oil-health-benefits.php

Hats Obession!

Ok ever since I watched the Royal Wedding, I have been obsessing over Hats! They are so fun and a great way to express yourself! No matter the occasion, you can find a hat that meets it. I love this collection by Bijou Van Ness.

Honeysuckle 2011 Color

At the end of last year, Pantone announced the IT color of 2011 as Honeysuckle. So, I'm sure you are seeing this color everywhere! Have you been wearing it? It is hard to avoid but what if this is not your color? Maybe you don't wear a shirt in this color but you could wear makeup or accessories with this color as an accent! I personally have lipstick and blush in this color and love it! This color will bring out your tan!

What Is The Right Length Of Dress or Skirt For You

When shopping, how do you know what is the perfect length for a dress or skirt? Some dresses or skirts are made shorter, or are they?  Actually, all fashion is made to fit a certain girl, that girl is called the "Fit Model". Every company has a fit model as a standard for all their sizing.  From that girl's measurement, the garments will be graded (sized) up or down to fit the different size ranges. No outfit is custom made to fit your body, that is why one garment will look so different on each body type no matter what size you are. So with that being said, how are you suppose to shop and know what length dress or skirt is going to fit your proportions? The shorter the dress or skirt then the longer your legs will look. The longer the dress or skirt then the shorter you are going to look. If you are short then try to stay away from wearing dresses or skirts that hit just below the knee, as this will make you look even shorter and make your hips wider. The opposite is true for taller people, try not to wear short dresses or short skirts if you are tall, as they will make you look like "all legs".  The most flattering look is when your body is balanced. You will know if you are in balance when the edge of the dress or skirt hits at your middle finger. Stand straight up and make sure your arms are straight down. Wherever your middle finger hits on your thigh is the right length for you! These garments show a great example of perfect proportion.

Swimsuit For Your Shape

Finding the right swimsuit for your shape can be a challenge. When shopping, it is important to know your most flattering and not so flattering body features. Don't spend hours trying on different suits because you think they look cute on the hanger. Instead only look for suits that show off your best features.

This Miraclesuit will make you look 10 lbs. lighter with this innovative Miratex® fabric with high Lycra® content. This swimsuit is designed for D-cup figures.

If you are thin and have a long torso then look for suits that break up your mid section. Either wear a bikini or wear a one piece with a long front plunge like this Asos suit.

Show off your hourglass figure by wearing a asymmetrical suit with shirring details. This Goddess Magicsuit has a underwire for bust support.

If you have a larger bust then you want to wear a suit with support.  This Old Navy halter suit is a great design because the stripes begin near the underarm and goes around the neck to give a even support. The thicker straps also take some of the focus off the larger bust and make the overall body shape more balanced.

For a smaller bust and smaller torso then wear a suit that has definition. This Nanette Lepore Lover swimsuit creates body portion to even out your smaller areas.
