Need Organic Beauty Tips?

,

Organic beauty is the in-thing of the day, and you cannot ignore the fact that mineral makeup or mineral cosmetics are ruling the roost in the UK – with average consumers looking for organic makeup kits and treatment at all of the Grimsby beauty salons and spas across London! However, organic beauty can also be achieved through natural care (along with using established brands like Jane Iredale for added elegance). So what can you do to touch up your pretty face without having to tax your skin and rough it up unnecessarily?

Here are some organic beauty tips that you can use to perfection!

•  Fruit facials are perfect for men and women who have rough skin or suffer from acne, pimples or similar such skin issues that force them to look for cover whenever a personal meeting or public appearance comes up! Pineapples as well as cucumbers can help you detox your facial skin, take out the dead cells and provide an instant glow to your skin that no chemical makeup kit ever can!

•  A complete application of banana pulp on your skin, along with application of curd or yogurt can help you enjoy smoother skin, that is devoid of the dirt or dust that settles in sweat pores and clogs the same.

While banana pulp helps you get smoother and much more beautiful, naturally shimmering skin, the yogurt can help your skin breathe and look fresh – something that is so rare in our world of chaotic running about and meandering through the polluted streets.

•  Organic body scrubs, available at most Grimsby beauty salons or spas, can help you exfoliate your skin and also enjoy better skin health and also do away with allergies and skin diseases! Brands like Jane Iredale as well as similar established manufacturers have come up with organic body scrubs and mineral makeup kits that help you do away with all of what is dirty on the skin and then deck it up – thus gushing with a glow that is reserved for kids and for raw beauties on the ramp!

•  The other tip is not something that deals with organic makeup per se – but with working out. Exercise helps you clear out the exhaustion and tiredness that clouds your face and your personality – ending in awkward body shapes and lethargy. Don’t let these get to you – for exercise can be one of the best detox methods there is on this planet!

•  Finally drink a lot of fresh water. Sure you love the orange juice and the colas and what not – but fresh water has an effect on your skin that is unparalleled. If you work through physical labor or have to travel long distances for work, keeping your natural beauty intact cannot be through the mere use of mineral cosmetics alone. Water, drinking copious amounts of it, that is, is the secret that a lot of us know but unconsciously ignore!

Beauty therapy through organic methods is no easy task – but it does pay off rich dividends when you get it right!

Mens Fashion Tips - Oversize Vs. Undersize

,
Should your clothes always fit? No way Jose'. There are times when the exaggeration of over sizing or under sizing is the perfect choice. Let me give you some current fashion examples. Oversize (also called chunky) turtleneck sweaters with very thick collars are very in right at this moment for the coming fall season and they look great.

The sweater itself is not oversize, it fits comfortably although a bit loosely, but the collars are very large and that is where the over sizing looks good. Big, bulky sweaters of this type are definitely a nice look. Oversized scarves that create the same type of look are in fashion for the same reason. In winter jackets, over sizing is important because the winter jacket must fit over your other clothes that might consist of a full suit or a shirt and heavy sweater depending on how cold it is outside.

It used to be that pants were worn as over-sized if you were part of the hip hop crowd but that trend is disappearing fast. One thing that is oversized and is fun to wear is a men's sleeper, which is basically a very large and long t-shirt that comes down to your knees and is worn to sleep in at night instead of pajamas. Men's watches are trending towards larger sizes also with chronographs that have every kind of dial to tell you the weather and even your altitude, many of them are quasi-military.

The big black men's shadow watches that are in fashion now and they are essentially all black color and oversized. Some of these are so black you cannot hardly even read the dial. Oversized wool knit ski hats are fun for the younger crowd. Stay away from those oversized ugly mukluk boots also called Uggs anywhere outside of the ski lodge, they don't really fit in anywhere else.

What about undersized? Half vests are interesting when they are made of leather or made out of something unusual such as chain mail. Tight pants are useful to advertise the merchandise. If you got it, flaunt it. There are some nice tight pants that only come down to halfway below the knee which look great for going to the beach or for a walk with the dog.

Suits can be tight-fitting and jackets can be undersized, which is all the more dramatic for the "reveal" when you remove your oversized outer winter coat as you come out of the cold to enter a fine restaurant. If you have rock hard abs you can wear a tight fitting t-shirt, but for any other body style especially when you are a bit overweight this is not a good choice. In other words, if you are oversized, then your wardrobe should be empty of any undersized clothes.

If you are skinny as a rail, then under sizing is fun, when you can get away with it. Glasses and regular hats need to fit you properly and the trend is to be more sedate in your sunglasses choice so avoid that Elton John look. Mix and match sizing where appropriate and you will have some real fun.

Full Figured Fashion Tips For Women

,

Most women today wear a size 14 or larger. Yet the images in magazines and television show women that are extremely thin and hold them up as standards of beauty for all women when this just isn't the way it really is. The following are some easy ways to showcase your curvy figure that the catwalks and runways seem to have overlooked. Full figured and curvy woman can dress for success easily with these tips and suggestions.

Learn to love your full figure. It truly is something to celebrate and learn to embrace. No matter what your size, dress to show off your very best assets. Covering up your figure or wearing all dark colors is not the answer. Accentuate your best body features and dress to impress in every season.

For instance, if you have great shoulders, you will look amazing wearing sweetheart, scoop, v-neck, and off the shoulder tops.

Go for beautifully patterned tops or fun, bright colors. You can add chunky or bedazzled necklaces to draw the eyes upwards as well.

Wonderfully toned arms can be accentuated with cap sleeves, short sleeves or even sleeveless tops. In the summertime, spaghetti strap tank tops give you the chance to show off athletic or toned arms. Sunless tanners can give your arms a bronzed and beautiful look in the spring and summer too. And don't forget to showcase your amazing arms with trendy bracelets and cuffs too.

If you are blessed with a great bosom you can wear fitted shirts, scoop neck, and v neck shirts every day of the year. Make sure the tops are not tight or the v neck is too deep, or else you can come across as looking inappropriate, say in the work setting. There is a big difference between tight clothes and fitted clothes. A top that is too tight has buttons that pull and inadequate arm and chest space. It's also important to wear a properly fitted bra. If you've never been properly fitted for a bra, you can ask for assistance in a local lingerie shop.

A great pair of legs should always be shown off. They can be accentuated with capris, dresses, skirts and low to medium heeled boots and shoes. You will look amazing wearing trendy boots with leggings in the winter, and sandals with shorts and skirts in the summer. You can also pull off wearing high platforms and peep toe shoes, as well as flats and ballerina slippers. Great legs means you can have your pick when it comes to fashion footwear, so go for it!

Full sized women can under emphasize their less than favorite areas with some thought to styling as well. Lose your muffin top by avoiding low rise jeans paired with short tops. Wearing colorful scarves, longer tops and a great necklace give the illusion of a long and lean waistline.

One way to get rid of cankles is by wearing wide legged pants, great belts and longer dresses and skirts. Avoid wearing skinny jeans, platform shoes, and leggings to avoid calling attention to this area. Accentuate your upper body with bright colors and printed blouses to draw the eyes upwards. And don't forget about great jewelry and other fun and colorful accessories.

A fuller bum can be slimmed down by wearing slacks that aren't too fitted or tight. Wearing properly fitted pants is always more flattering than wearing skin tight jeans and pants. Super low rise pants and skinny jeans can make a fuller bottom look larger than it is, so steer clear from these fashions. Coordinated vests, blazers and belted dresses look wonderful and can make a fuller bottom look more proportional to the rest of the body.

Learning to dress yourself to show off your body's most appealing features and minimize your less favorite parts is the key to successful dressing. Full bodied women can learn to love their beautiful curves and show off their fashion taste with confidence.

Perfect Skin Beauty Tips

,

Step one is cleansing. Whilst it might seem obvious, you’d be amazed just how many people do not take cleansing seriously as a daily part of making their skin look it’s best. Well, more fool them! Fortunately, there’s absolutely no need to spend the stupid amounts that some ‘name’ brands charge – a shop brand cleanser will do just fine. However, it’s important to make sure that you do not cleanse too often – once a day will usually be enough to ensure that your skin lights up that summer beauty spot, and will prepare you perfectly for the next step to perfect skin: exfoliating.


Exfoliating is the next step, and is just as important as the first one. Whilst it might sound fairly complicated (something that people at a spa might go on about), exfoliating is simply the process of getting rid of all that dry and dusty skin that inevitably clings to your face long after it’s shuffled off this mortal coil.

There are a variety of different ways that you can get this done, whether it’s scrubs or peels (men actually exfoliate daily by shaving – whether they are aware of this, however, is doubtful), so find the method that works best for you and try to have a good exfoliating session at least once a week.

Fortunately, this next step is one that everyone is aware of – moisturizing! Needless to say, all those Hollywood stars who have not changed in twenty years invest a lot of time in high quality moisturizer – which means that you should, too! Moisturising is an essential part of blending into that summer beauty spot, and of any skin routine. Ensure that you apply a good product to all areas of your face – even those that are oily.

You might be considering the merits of not doing so, but even skin with grease buildup can benefit from moisturizing due to the sealant of liquid into the skin, keeping it away from those oilier areas!

Finally, the last step is a very important part of any summer routine: applying the right amount of sunscreen! When it comes to your skin, there is no bigger problem that you can inflict on it than being out in the sun for hour after hour. Not only will you likely end up looking a bit like a handbag, but you’ll also run the risk of obtaining cancer and other skin afflictions. Obtain the best quality sun protection (do not scrimp and save here) and then head out to the beauty spot, knowing you are far more safe from those nasty sun rays. And then have a great time!

Money Saving Beauty Tips

,

We women want to look as good as we can for as long as we can. I think it's pretty much a universal goal for most of us and yet with the very difficult economy we're all trying to wade through, it is making that goal ever harder to reach. For many, the days of getting bi-monthly pedicures and manicures are a thing of the past. Millions of Americans are finding that there just isn't money for the things that aren't absolute necessities.


Trying to look attractive may not be an absolute necessity but it's pretty darn important for a lot of people. This fact is evident by the amount of money (in the billions) that is spent each year on beauty products and procedures. Very likely this years' numbers will be down a great deal due to the decreased disposable income many are dealing with.


Perhaps we can't continue to spend as much money on beauty maintenance and enhancement as we have in the past but that doesn't mean we have to give it up entirely.

Maybe we'll just have to go about it in a different way. For instance, many of the treatments that we pay good money for can just as well be given by a family member or a good friend or sometimes we can do them ourselves. Many of us love having a regular manicure and that is something that wouldn't be all that easy to do for ourselves. We'd be fine working with our dominant hand but when it came time to use the weaker one we'd be out of luck. For this reason it would a good (and fun) idea to get together with a friend for the purpose of giving each other a manicure. Besides an end result of having our hands and nails look good, it would also give us time to spend with a good friend, which by the way is just as important as trying to maintain our beauty rituals.

Many of us enjoy getting our hair trimmed and styled at a salon on a regular schedule and while that is definitely a pleasure it has also become a luxury that many have had to give up. Because most of us are not trained to cut hair, we will still have to find a way to get the occasional professional cut, but we can spread those visits out and in the meantime we can either make do or we can trim it a bit ourselves or have a friend help with a minor trim.


As for hair coloring, products have become available at local drugstores and supermarkets that make it relatively easy to get the job done without the service of a professional. Many women already tend to their own hair coloring and some enlist the aid of a family member of friend. Again, this is something that could be a trade off with a friend. One week you could arrange to do the coloring for a friend and the next week she could do yours for you. Many times you can get by with just a root touch up which will allow you to be able to go for a much longer time before needing a full color session.


Facials are a special treat but they are also rather pricey, so again, this is something that one can handle on their own at their own home. There are wonderful products available that will provide results that you'll be pleased with. Even though we may be a cash crunch presently, we can still accomplish the things that are important to us. We just need to look for ingenious and inexpensive ways to achieve our goals.

Men's Fashion Tips For A First Date

,
Going out on a date with a woman you just met means only one thing. You need to get dressed in order to impress. Thankfully, today's fashion trends have made it possible for men to mix and match their outfits without turning them into a fashion victim.

Women love their men to be fashionable and trendy. In fact, most girls want their dates to stand out in a crowd looking very much like a dazzling debonair. However, you also need to consider the kinds of place where you will be bringing your date. Places like fancy restaurants and hotels follow a certain dress code. Of course, you do not want to dress up elegantly in a suit while watching a rock concert. In which case, you have to plan ahead where you want to take your date and choose the right outfit that will go with it.

Regardless where you are bringing your date, shirts with holes or stains are a real turn off. A dating place which requires you to look casual and sporty must also need a pair of jeans which must be worn wrinkle free and should fit you to a T. Even the belts must also be properly buckled and not in some place that is inappropriate.

If you are bringing your date out on a dinner to some swanky hotel, a theatre or a ballet performance, a suit is indeed a must. Well, any suit of a dark hue is a perfect complement to a romantic date. The suit must also fit you well and something you feel comfortable of wearing. A plain colored shirt matched with a contrasting tie will complete your ensemble.

A pair of brown or khaki pants matched with a white polo or button down top will make you look trendy if you are bringing your date in a restaurant for a wonderful casual dining experience. Also, one will definitely look smarter in a cotton top and beige slacks. They key to getting that desired look is by simply limiting to only two the colors of your over all get up.

In as far as footwear is concerned, wear yours in a neutral color such as black or brown. Sneakers and loafers are acceptable too for as long as they are spotlessly clean. Black or brown leather shoes must also be polished to perfection.

If you are out on a date for the first time, avoid wearing too many accessories. All those bling-blings and rubber bracelets must be kept for the night. While it is true that men do not wear jewelry, there are excellent pieces that you can invest on.

No matter how fashionable you are, chances are you might lose your date if you do not come properly shaven or well groomed. Choosing your kind of fashion is a personal choice. However, you also need to look good and presentable. Thus, impressing your hot date is a huge success if you get complimented by the way you look and how well you can carry yourself.
