Beauty n’Fashion Secrets

A Halloween costume wig can turn a frumpy costume into a fantastic one. When you select a wig, consider your costume as well as the image you want to convey. A costume can go from tame to tantalizing with just the flip of a wig. It’s all in the hair, honey.

Why a Wig?

You may be asking, “Why a wig?” Well, Halloween is a time for fun and fantasy. Face it, Halloween is just as much fun for the adults as it is for the kids - only the candy is a little different. A Halloween costume wig can take your look to the next level. Wigs make it easy to change your look in an instant with little effort. If you are normally a brunette haired homemaker, why not don a French maid costume and an auburn wig? Hello mamma! Ooh la la!

Types of wigs

The beauty of wigs is that they come in every conceivable color, length and style. You can select a blonde wig with long, wavy hair or a short and sassy brunette wig. Take your look to Funkytown with an afro wig or go for the glitz with a silver halo of curls. You are only limited by your own imagination.

Selecting your Wig

Selecting a Halloween costume wig is a little different from choosing an everyday wig. Since you will not likely wear the wig on a daily basis, you don’t have to be quite so specific on fit, but you do want it to be comfortable. Your Halloween costume wig should be a little snug so that it won’t fall off, but it should not bind or cut into your skin. Some wigs are actually hair pieces and can be simply pinned into the natural hair.

Be a Bombshell with a Blonde Wig

A blonde wig can give your costume some vavava voom! Whether short and flirty or long and sleek, you can give your look a golden touch. Remember in the movie “Pretty Woman” where Vivian wore the blonde wig and it gave her a really sexy look? Well, it doesn’t just work for movie stars; it can work for you too.

Find your Funk with an Afro Wig

If you want to give your costume a cool flair, get an afro wig. Straight from the seventies’ disco era, a “natural” or afro wig brings life and fun to your look. Whether it is close to the head or long and wild, you will definitely get a reaction!

Match your Wig to your Costume

Your Halloween costume wig should match your costume. While it is certainly fine to let your wig throw a fun spin on your costume, you don’t want something that is so conflicting that it is difficult to look at or just looks bad. Try it all on together, wig, costume, everything; before you commit.

Sweet or Sexy: It’s all in the Wig!

So you want a sweet look or do you want to go all goth and vampish? Well, it is all in the wig. Think about the look or mood that you want to convey, then it is a matter of putting it together. Now, whether you go with the wig first, or the costume is just a matter of the chicken or the egg. It makes no difference. Do what works for you then hit that Halloween party and have an awesome time!

The most important thing to know about dressing to be in fashion is that the color of the belt you are wearing should ALWAYS match the color of your shoes.

This is basic fashion knowledge people. This may sound harsh on some, but truth is I hate it when I see people ignoring this little detail. It’s really sad to see this wonderful woman on the street, wearing a nice pair of pink shoes, with a black belt?!? Somebody call the fashion police, please!

And this is not just a caprice of mine. It really is a basic requirement of having a presentable look, in order to show a little sophistication on your part.

Women generally are aware of the importance of this requirement, although they may choose not to follow it. The majority of men on the other hand are oblivious to this rule, as to the whole fashion thing.

If you read to this point and you can identify yourself with what I’m talking about here (I won’t tell anyone, my lips are sealed), please take the time and adjust this little flaw.

Now, I don’t want to make this sound like a make of brake rule. It really isn’t. It’s just a small detail that may or may not go unnoticed. But as a whole, when put together with other such small details, it makes you have the best appearance, which in turns helps you feel comfortable and raise your self esteem.

In a business meeting or even at a bar when hitting the opposite sex, having this and others handled will work in your favor. But if the opposite, it’s very possible that you’ll be looked with suspicion or even ignored.

You’d better not wear a belt at all than one that does not match with your shoes. Some might go too far and wear a belt made of the same material as the shoes, but matching only the color is fine.

Now that you are aware of this, you have no more excuses for not doing it. Fix it as fast as possible.

Natural breast enhancement is one of the safest and most effective ways to enhance your breast size naturally and effortlessly. Breast enhancement pills are one of the best Natural Breast Enhancement (NBE) methods you can use if you think your breast size is not big enough or if you just want to make you breasts bigger and firmer, more beautiful and sexy. The cost of the full NBE course can fit any family budget.

What you are probably wondering is how breast enhancement pills really work? The answer is very simple. It is all about the all natural and herbal remedies used as ingredients in the breast enhancement pills formulas. Those herbs promote the balanced distribution of estrogen in your body and with enough estrogen you will be able to get fuller and bigger breasts that will make you look fantastic in a sexy top.

Here are some details about each herbal remedy used as ingredient in some of the most popular breast enhancement pills, and how they work to help you get the bigger and firmer breasts you desire:

Fenugreek Extract Benefits

Fenugreek contains highest concentration of mucilaginous fiber (mucilage), which is a powerful stimulator of breast enhancement. The chemical compounds in fenugreek have the ability to aid the digestive process and are effective laxative. The herbal remedy is able to regulate blood sugar levels and to lower high cholesterol levels (the harmful type). Fenugreek can be used for external application to reduce inflammation and sooth irritated skin and relieve surface aches and pains.

Fennel Seed Benefits

It is very rich in essential flavonoids that cause estrogenic effects. The boost in secretion (milk secretion in breastfeeding mothers) is the reason for new breast tissue growth (when you are not breastfeeding). The fennel seeds are very commonly used as spice, although the plant itself is considered as herb. It also cleanses the body from toxins. By excreting them fennel acts as a tonic and body stimulant.

Saw Palmetto Benefits

It works by blocking the action of an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase. Generally the herb is considered safe. Saw Palmetto breast enhancement properties are discovered more like a side effect that does not require medical attention. The herb is generally used in treating urinary tract infections in men with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH).

Test results suggest Saw Palmetto helps stop unwanted body and facial hair growth, as well as helps treating thinning hair. It is good at preventing some types of acne and relieving menstrual symptoms.

Instead of a conclusion I should just say that using natural breast enhancement herbal supplements not only makes your breasts bigger, firmer and more beautiful, it also helps you solve many common women health problems and issues.

Fenugreek, Fennel and Saw Palmetto are the top three essential and most commonly used herbal remedies as ingredients in breast enhancement products. However they are not the only ones… Stay tuned for some more essential herbs, which benefits I will uncover for you in my next few articles.

So many factors influence a woman’s hairstyle choice. Does the hairstyle make her look glamorous or sexy? Is it professional or casual? Will men find her more alluring? Is she wearing a trendy style? More often than not a hairstyle is chosen for the wrong reasons, leading to instant dissatisfaction of the look. If her hairstyle is not befitting, she is somewhat mentally traumatized, giving her a poor self image which does not make for a happy lady.

Lastly, check out the trendiest styles and go from there. You are sure to find one style that would be flatter you as well as give you that modern up-to-date look. In this article I examine the most current styles in terms of adaptability, maintenance , and care. In short, you can let us guide you in determining a current do that will compliment and define who you are.

The year of the bob- Many women have chosen to chop off their tresses and relive the early twenties by choosing a bob hairstyle. A significant amount of sex symbol celebrities are wearing the bob now. If you take a look around a room, you will probably discover that more than half of the women are wearing a bob. The best thing about a bob is that it can suit women of many age groups and races. A bob is also very versatile and easy to care for. There are many types of bobs to choose from. Depending on your facial shape, you may opt to wear a bob with bangs, asymmetrical bob, Chinese bob, layered bob, curly bob…just to name a few. Many women opt for the one length bob because of its simplicity and ease of care. The bob is generally very sophisticated looking. It has been considered a traditional yet trendy hairstyle. However, it is crucial to examine all sides when choosing to get a bob. Are you truly ready to commit to a shorter look? Are bangs flattering to your facial shape? Is a shorter bob or shoulder length bob more suitable for you? Consult a stylist to determine the best bob for you.

Short cuts- 2008 has opened the door to cute and sexy short looks. Most short cuts right now are edgy and chic. Short cuts are charming and sassy but the thing to remember here is the upkeep is demanding. Most cuts require lots of attention and are high maintenance. If you are not one who gives a lot of notice to your style then a short cut is definitely not for you. When getting your hair cut in a trendy style, be sure to get it cut into layers. It adds definition to the cut as well as a flirty appeal. Use moose to spike your ends to add that flare that most celebrities sport. Choose a stylist that has a reputation for cutting your hair as opposed to just styling.

The long layered look-Currently, long layers are the way to go when have long hair and want to keep it. One length all over is not all that trendy. You may want a side bang to enhance long layers. Layers are very defining, especially if your hair is long and thin. You can also choose to layer the front only and wear the back one length. Layers are important to keep up. You need to keep them trimmed often in order to keep the look up. When considering layers, determine if you want a curly look or just a choppy straight edge look. Either way, your facial shape needs to be considered first.

Natural hairstyles- The natural craze is hot for women of color right now. Countless African American women have elected to trash the relaxers and enjoy their God given natural waves and curls. The natural look has an endless amount of possibilities. You are not very limited in terms of styles as many people would suggest. You can straighten using flatirons when the desire arises. For the most part women who wear their hair natural can choose from dreds, locks, waves, etc. A natural look is so unique and empowering. The only drawback here is for women with relaxers having to let the ends grow out or go with the “the big chop.” Maintenance is also critical. Invest in some good products that enhance natural hair and develop a good hair regimen.

Whatever hairstyle you choose, be wise in making your choice. Consider all factors before committing to a look. Remember to be bold and adventurous and willing to make a statement with your hair

Summer is a beautiful time of the year, but it can be very hot, humid and exhausting. We need to learn how to cool down and take advantage of this wonderful season to feel and look fabulous.

First of all, summer is a good time to reduce high-calorie and high fat meals. It can help us to loose some weight, detox and relax to look and feel better.

Hot weather increases sweating and reduces urination which might lead to water retention, and sometimes to a puffy face or heavy legs. Try to eat more cherries right now, while they are in season. Only remember that cherries are from the Dirty Dozen List, so it is better (healthier) to buy them organic.

All fruits (apples, berries, pears, apricots plums, melons, grapes, peaches, mangos, papaya as well as all citrus fruits are also cooling and laxative which can help our cleansing/natural detox process.

We also should try to eat more refreshing and cooling salads with slightly bitter-tasting, cleansing greens, such as dandelion greens, watercress and endive. All leafy vegetables have a cooling effect on the body.

If you are on a weight-loss program, you should add more minerals to your diet with asparagus and okra (okra might also help if you have joint and swelling pain). As for me, I also eat a lot of cabbage - I love it more than broccoli. All vegetables from cabbage family increase alkalinity and reduce acid condition such as bad breath, excess hunger and even anger.

If you live in a climate with high humidity, try to eat more watermelons - they can make a delicious breakfast or snack. Sometimes I have water melon detox day and eat only water melons and rye bread all day long like my grandmother liked to do. It is a good detox remedy for our kidneys, full of licopen to prevent heart disease, and like bananas rich in potassium, which might help reduce blemishes, dark circles around the eyes and fatigue.

In summer we can eat more local fruits and vegetables, so don’t forget to incorporate a lot of cooling vegetables, such as potato, tomato, summer squash, zucchini, cucumber, celery, mushrooms, bean sprouts, artichoke, bell peppers, asparagus, sweet potatoes, beets root and yam into your diet. You can cook them, eat them raw or make delicious juices. Humid weather demands additional cleansing, so enjoy your fruits and vegetables-natural detox- all day long. And speaking about cleansing/detox, a dash of lemon will be a great addition to any salad or drink.

We are supposed to eat more cooling foods that are easily digested in summer, so mung beans, barley, rice, couscous, as well as sea vegetables can be added to salads if you want to avoid hot dishes.

Sea food will be better choice over poultry or meat - it has cooling effect and is easier to digest.

If we drink more water and juices and eat more cooling vegetables and fruits, we will feel better, get slimmer and look fabulous.

Most women at some point in their lives dreams of having long flawless hair. And the women that have painstakingly grown their hair will agree that it takes quite a bit of time and effort to keep their hair in top condition. Most of us have tried to grow our hair but often fall at the first hurdle. It gets to that awkward stage where it’s longer than normal but not long enough, it’s hard to style and most of us give up and get it cut.

In this day and age we don’t have to wait for anything. The instant way to getting the long hair we want is by buying either long haired wigs or long pieces of hair extensions. Hair extensions have been around for a number of years now and many movie and music stars have all adorned them at some point. They are the perfect way to create an instant long haired look.

Like anything new it’s not long before variations come out and the same can be said about hair extensions. However wearing wigs is not a new thing as it goes back a long way. As far back as the Egyptian times both men and women wore wigs or hair pieces. During the late 1800’s human hair pieces were used for the first time but not until recently were human hair extensions available.

In the beginning extensions were only worn by either the very rich or celebrities. I think the main celebrity that made hair extensions very main stream was Victoria Beckham who had dozens of hair styles based around extensions. One day she would have short cropped hair, the next she had longer hair. Being one of the most photographed women in the world, her image was on the cover of every magazine and newspaper. With this type of publicity and her and her husband’s popularity it wasn’t long before people saw the true potential of hair extensions.

There are many different types of hair extensions some are more permanent than others. If your after a non or semi permanent option you should think about clip in hair extensions. These extensions are really very easy to apply and come in all different colours and lengths. You can get them to completely match your own hair to give you longer hair, lowlights, highlights or just added volume. Clip in hair extensions come in one or multiple pieces of varying widths with a strong practically invisible clip. These clips make attaching them to your own hair very quick and simple and are virtually undetectable.

Permanent hair extensions are the ones that are fused to the hair. With this fusion method about 20 to 50 strands of human extension hair have a warm protein glue applied all around it. Then they use a clear plastic template to isolate the portion of natural hair from the rest of the scalp, the glued extension hair is then attached to a small portion of the natural hair which is pulled through a hole in the template. Then the two lots of hair are rolled together in the fingers until a smooth protein bond is made. All of this needs to get done for each extension which is why it is a long and tedious procedure. The extensions last for between 3 and 6 months before they will need either removing or redoing.

Another method is by using pre tipped strands which is where the extension strands are pre tipped with protein glue. This glue then melts and bonds to the natural hair when using a heated hair connector tool. It is thought this method uses’ less glue as it is premeasured so it leaves the hair better bonded and less likely to chip away.

If you choose to have the permanent hair extensions make sure you use a salon or hair dresser that has experience in applying them. There are plenty of scare stories where people have lost their real hair because the hairdresser want experienced enough and burnt the hair or used too much glue. Getting a realistic affect will only happen when an experience hair dressers applies them. It makes sense to try and use the clip on ones until you’re really sure you want the permanent ones. Clip on hair extensions are just if not more realistic than the fused on method, but the real bonus is that you are not messing with your natural hair, you are just adding more hair via clip which can be removed when and wherever you want. And each clip is only a few pounds out and they last for years.

Once upon a time, all fashionable women wore corsets to define their figures and to allow them to wear the demanding dresses of their day. Corsets would cinch their waists, flatten their tummies and smooth the way for their ultra feminine dresses the natural female form would otherwise find hard to look good in. Basically, corsets give you an hourglass figure.

Boned corsets were worn by ladies in the past to make them look more slender. This corset would be laced tight by their helpers and often, young women, eager to attract the attention of the guy they fancy may request that the corset be laced extremely tight to make their waists exceedingly tiny. The side effect is that these ladies may even faint later, from lack of air. But that’s ok. In those days, fainting was considered dainty and could well attract the attention of a handsome suitor.

Thankfully, corsets are no longer compulsory in order for a woman to stay fashionable. Wearing corsets these days is the exception, rather than the norm.

While corsets are restrictive and considered the epitome of femininity, jeans have their origin in rugged masculinity.

During the gold rush in America, the early pioneers needed tough clothing to withstand their rugged lifestyle. Pants that did not tear easily. Enter the denim jean which is so hardy, is became the uniform of the rugged cowboy and the tough guys in the working class.

So what do ultra-feminine corsets and totally rugged jeans have in common?

For one thing, both are made of tough fabric that holds you in. That means, flab and unwanted fat stays hidden and flattened if the clothes are tight enough.

Women who wear the smallest pair of high waist jeans they can slip into are onto something. These jeans act like a corset in that they hold your tummy and flabby bits in. They even make your legs look slimmer.

Although low-rise jeans were hot last in past seasons, it isn’t a good idea to wear them smaller than your real size. They are cut low and if they are tight, the flesh above the waistline will bulge out, which means, most of your belly would stick out and look even bigger than ever. Think of it as the muffin-effect. Anything above the waistline overflows. Just like corsets. Flesh over and under the top and bottom of the corset would bulge out. The fat will overflow as they are compressed by the fabric and have nowhere to go but above or below the clothing.

For the corset effect, jeans with the highest waist you can find, which adequately cover your fattest parts are your best bet. The tummy should be completely beneath the waistband. In a sense it can be even more flattering than a corset as it slims your legs as well.

Just make sure that unless your legs are thin, the bottoms of the jeans flare out, or at least do not grip onto your flesh tightly as anything beyond the jeans, if squeezed, will have your flesh bulging out.

So if you want to look slimmer, but not appear like you are trying too hard, forget about corsets.

Wear tight-fitting high waist jeans instead. More about jeans and pants at http://www.buy-pants.com
