Is Fear of Failure Keeping You Outdated?

Why so many people  refuse to change their Styles? Fear of Failure!

To Feel Fear and to live in fear is two different thing!
Everyone feels fear. Fear does not discriminates.
No one is invulnerable or immune to it!

So go ahead and renew your wardrobe 

We can let it run our lives or we can counterattack it! The choice is ours.
The feeling of Fear is not the problem, the problem is what we do with it.
We can either allow it to paralyze our dreams, or we can use it as a combustive, transforming it into an agitation of anger and revolt!
An agitation of anger + revolt = Courage!
Courage is Comprised by-fear-anger-and revolt.

I think, Courage is an act of Fear in disguise. If there were no fear there would be no courage. Every courageous person I've met or read about, tells you:
"I was afraid but I did it anyways"!

To me Fear is what boosts courage. You feel fearful - you get angry- you get revolted with that situation, and then out of no where, here comes "Courage".
That's when you determine within yourself to ignore that negative voice and go for it with no concerns of the outcome. Just close your eyes and your ears and act your faith right in the "Face of Fear"! I've realize in my life that "Courage" only shows-up when we cast that Fear of what he/she/they think of us. If we live our lives depending on everybody's approval or rejections, we'll be a slave of Fear for life!

So ahead and get that hair cut or
color you've been dying to, but was
afraid! 

For eg: many people are afraid to change their Styles
They've had it for so long and now they're afraid what's the new one gonna look like
excuses: I'm use to it, its easy to shop, this is who I am etc...

So they stick to that boring outdated hair style and those old fashion clothes
Why? Because, they're afraid of taking chances, afraid of failure, afraid of what people will say or think. Why Fear? If you get a new hair cut and it does not come out the way you like like, its only hair, it'll grow out again! If you get a new color and don't like it,  dye it again into a different color!

If you try on a new color lipstick and you don't like it, what's the worse that can happen? Wipe it off and try a different one! Why stick to that same old color day-in-day-out?

If you go to the Stores and try on some new updated Fashionable clothes and didn't like it, what's the worst that can happen? Take it off and keep on trying them until you find what you like. Its that simple! If you're not sure of what you like bring a trustful friend with you who can tell you the truth.

What's there to Fear? You'll never know how your new hair cut or color will look on you unless you try it! You'll never know how your new updated Style clothes will look on you unless you try them on. Right?

Fear is nothing but an imagination of our mind.
  
Imagination:The formation of a mental image of something that is neither perceived as real nor present to the senses.

Are You Living In A "La - La" Land, Life Style?

Are you living in a reality or a la-la Land Style?
Despising yourself and denying your principals and your sense of Style, wanting to be someone else is to buy a ticket of misery to a la-la Land, a Land of nowhere!

Do you wear something because you like it or because everybody else is wearing it? Why wear an outfit that's inappropriate or don't even flatter your body type just because the Fashion Industry/Media said you should!


You'll never be happy with your self and will never get to be that person.
We are a person that we can never run from, either we like ourself or not we are stuck with ourself. So what's the point in hating ourself? Don't you think so?
Instead of nourishing that inner desire of wanting to be someone else, try to capture the idea of that so-and-so and put a little twist to it and make it your own.

If there's something about you, you don't like and it can be fixed, then by all means, fix it, if its gonna make you happy then go for it! But if you can't do anything about it, then make peace with your self, starting wright now and do you pretty this Summer!

Don't allow "he/she/they" say, Style run your life.
Don't allow the World Fashion Industry to run your life, or tell you what you should and shouldn't wear, or what size you should be?

Our Style and dress code behavior all depends on how we see our self.
If we are comfortable in our skin and have self confidence, knowing that your life is centered in Jesus and that he loves us just the way we are, then we would have all the reason in the world to wanna look beautiful everyday, no matter the size you ware, your skin color, your hair length or even the color of your eyes.
If you think you're pretty ~ you're pretty! Case Closed!
But if you think you're ugly then ~ you're ugly,  and no one can take it out of your mind!

Everything in live evolves in the way we think about our self.
We are what we think! We talk and act what we think!

Your taste, your likes and dislikes, should be calling the shots! Not they!
If we have to do what every body else is doing, be what they are, look like they look, have what they have, then we would never get to discover the person we are! We'll never discover our true identity because we're too busy trying to be someone else!

To admire a person is one thing ~ but to want to be that person, is another thing.
Our personality should be engraved in our Style.
That's why its so important to discover your own.
I like simple clothes but it must have details, and I love fun colors and pretty flower prints in the Summer.There you go, that's my personality in writing.
I don't wanna be anybody else but me!
I don't care what anybody else is wearing, to each its own!
But In order for you to discover you Style ~ first you need to discover your personality.  

"For as he thinks within himself, so he is". Proverbs 23:7 
  You see, so you are what you think!

A #1 Summer Classic "must haves"

An aviator style Ray-Ban sunglass is a Summer "must have" in my book!!!

   No matter what you're wearing you throw this Ray-Ban on, Baby you're Stylish!

It usually goes $159.99 but Macy's has it for $144.95
 take advantage of 25% off friends and family coupon coming up at the end of the month 

Even you're not a Navy pilot you can still rock this classic aviator style Ray-Ban

Its not in vain that this aviator style Ray-Ban has been a #1 sunglass in the market for over 30years, never outdated and still rocking!

Its unisex and suits every face-shape, its not too big ~ not too small, just perfect!

The color is really nice, matches  every outfit in your wardrobe and fits your face perfectly. It looks great with your suits, your pretty fancy dresses as well as your jeans. Cool huh!

We have seen it on the red carpet and all the famous faces. Why not you?

If you don't have one yet, wright it down on your "must haves" list for this Summer

If you can't afford a Ray-Ban, capture the idea and find a cheaper brand with the same style and color until you're able to get one.

Its a little pricy but its made of a great quality material and its a fashion investment that if you take good care of it, it can last you for years and years to come.

I have a Ray-Ban for over 10years and it still looks brand new, you would never know unless I tell you. Its worth every penny!

Would You Like A Beautiful Glowing Skin?

The best Beauty and Health we can provide our Body and Skin 

is from inside-out! 

Stop spending tons of money on those magical facial cream that doesn't work and get some color food on your plate and don't forget to grab some Vitamins on your way home.

To be fit healthy and to have a beautiful glowing skin must start from inside-out 

 ~ it all starts inside-out ~

No healing starts from outside-in ~ it's from ~  inside - out.

#1-If we want to lose weight:

we'll never lose weight depending on a wish-bone :-)))* 

meaning just seating there and hoping that those unwanted Fat 

will just melt away while we keep on gorging our selves 

we need to put our back-bone into actions! 

We cannot buy our Slim and Fit dream body in the bottle

No one can do it for us we have to sacrifice our desire to gorge on the type 

of food that we normally would eat that got us overweight in the first place 

and little by little starting from inside-out the miracle starts happening!

#2- When we are physically sick:

Just by visiting the Dr's office will not cut it!

Just looking at the medication bottle is not gonna cut it either!

I know people that visits the Dr's office and even get proscribed medication but never takes it. It just seats there adorning their bedroom.

Now tell me, how are you suppose to get healed just by looking at the medicine bottle huhh?

We must take the medication required in order for the healing process to start from 

inside-out right?     

Because we don't normally eat enough daily Vitamins require for our body taking these 3 Vitamin can really help you on your journey to a beautiful Skin.

You can take them in, but sometimes  you can also puncture it and rub the Oil on your skin as well, for a beautiful smooth healthy glow y skin.

Vitamin A: Derivatives of vitamin A known as retinoids may be the only reliable wrinkle-fighter on the skin care market. Retinoids also help repair sun damage and prevent the development of actinic keratosis, a type of precancerous skin growth. Tretinoin is the prescription-strength version of this skin helper, but there are some milder over-the-counter creams and lotions that contain a type of retinoid called retinol. 

Vitamin C: This antioxidant vitamin stimulates your skin's production of collagen and elastin fibers, making it firmer and more elastic. To give your skin a solid dose of C, look for products that contain at least a 10 percent concentration of L-ascorbic acid.

Vitamin E: Also a potent antioxidant, E can help slow down the formation of wrinkles and improve the performance of your sunscreen. Look for dl-alpha-tocopherol on labels -- it's the only form that's been shown to produce noticeable improvements when used topically.

To get the most benefit from these nutrients, apply the products at night, right before you hit the sack. Sunlight will zap their strength. If you want to hear more visit  Dr. Michael Roizen's best health, life, and beauty advice straight from the doc himself.

Trends Comes and Goes ~ Style is Forever

Fashion/Trends are in today and out tomorrow ~  but Style is forever.


Black is a #1 Wardrobe Basics that every woman should have. 
But that doesn't mean your whole closet should be Black!
It's beautiful, but it can also be dark and depressing if you make it your everyday head to toes look!
Trend comes and goes every year ~ so how can one cope with it!    

If you take hold of these 12 simple steps, you should have no problems.



#1- First utmost rule, is that you should always remember as taste is better than money ~ Style is better than Trends.  


#2-The second utmost important thing is to make sure you keep your principals in mind so you don't lose your self in the sake of Fashion.

#3- You must know what kind of clothes is appropriate for the job you do and what or whom you represent.

#4- You must know your body type ~ what makes you feel feminine, pretty, and flares your body but still in an appropriate manner.

#5- With your likes and dislikes in mind, you should still have an open mind to try something new, something not your self once in a while, you might be surprise.


#6- Don't never judge an outfit by the look of if and assume that you don't like it or it wont look good on you. Try it on! The worse that can happen is, you don't like, take it off and leave it in the store! 
How painful is that?  


 #7- The chance is, you could be missing out on a great looking outfit, just because you're too obstinate to let go of your ego or your outdated Style. 


 #8- Just because everyone else is wearing something, it doesn't mean you should be wearing it too.  

#9-Just because the mannequins are wearing it in the stores, doesn't mean you should be  wearing it too!


#10-Before following the momentary Trends ~ make sure you have your Wardrobe Basics in hand. 


#11-Don't spend too much money on the passing buy Fashion/Trends, invest on a great Wardrobe Basics, so you can incorporate the new passing by trend with your Basics.


#12-Always remember not everyone has the same body type, same taste or principals, so why have the same look? Everyone is different!

Many woman asks:

With so many Styles and Colors to pick from ~ where are we suppose to start?

#1-Start with the colors you like
#2-Styles and cuts that fits your body 

#2- If you're a petit, maintain your dress/skirt above your knee or long to your ankle, this length elongates you and makes you look taller.


"In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness". Matthew 23:28

  

What Dominates Your Closet, Basics or Trends?

Are you a Follower or a Leader?

If you live by Fashion/Trends alone, you are a follower!!!

But if you can capture the momentary Fashion and in-cooperate it with your personal Style and your Basics then you are a Leader!!!

For example:
This Spring is all about Orange color. So make sure to refresh your closet by adding something Orange for your Spring look.

I love Orange, its pretty, girly and fun, but that doesn't mean my whole closet will be Orange this Spring?!
I'll be wearing it for sure, but wount be wearing Everything Orange just because it's in.
I'll be in-corporating it with my Basics and make it my own personal Style.

And I will definitely not be spending a whole lot money on it because it's a passing by Fashion Trend. In today ~ out tomorrow!


Once you discover your personal taste together with your Wardrobe Basics it'll be your Style and yours alone.
Trends comes and goes but Basics are the 'Le must haves' in everyone's closet.
Basics clothing are the never outdated solid color pieces that you can mix and match, and that can take you from day to night with just a few adjustments.

We all know that Fashion/Trend is for now, a follow the crowd, someone else's idea and personality. "The" momentary must have look that everyone is wearing.

There's nothing wrong with Trends but they are a momentary fun, like a passing cloud.
You should never spend a lot of money on these looks, because they neither last nor define who you are and they're in today and out tomorrow.

If you spend a lot of money on them you'll have lots of clothes that simply covers you, but nothing to wear that specifies who you are as an individual person with taste and personality. You'll always have people judging you by your appearance and wonder who you really are!

Unless you want people to judge and assume who you are ~ you need to start developing your own personal and unique Style that defines you, that's yours and yours alone, and will last for life.

A Personal Style together with your great Wardrobe Basics is a lifelong look.
No matter how difficult it is for you to find yourself and your Style, no matter how hard it hides from you, you should never give up searching.You should look and search for it till you find, because once you find it, it'll be yours and yours alone for life. It's worth it!

Basics are the essential in everyone's wardrobe.
Basics gives you class and personality that can take you any where; places that Trendy clothes wont.

Like I said, there's nothing wrong with Trendy Styles, but before you spend your money on Trendy clothing make sure your Wardrobe Basics are all set. Otherwise you'll end-up with lots of clothes but nothing to wear.

For example on your next clothes shopping:
1- Before you pick an Orange dress, make sure you have, your little Black and your pretty romantic Red Dress.  

2- Before you pick an Orange pant, make sure you have your beautiful perfect fit, good fabric solid Black and Navy Blue ones.

3- Before picking some pretty Orange blouses, make sure you have some nice crispy plain and ruffles White blouses.

4- Before picking some fun Orange shoes, make sure you have a nice comfortable fitting beautiful plain solid Black and Natural color pumps and Sandals that can be worn with everything.

5- Before picking a fun Orange color Jacket or Blazer, make sure you have a beautiful Black or Dark Brown leather Jacket, a nice Black or Navy Blue Blazer that can be dressed-up or down with anything in your closet.


Basic first! Got it?
