Remember it does not have to be complicated but it does take some thought and preparation to look good. It's easy to get lazy and let yourself go, but it really is not that difficult to do a few simple things to keep yourself looking good and like you care about what you look like.
* Wearing clothes that are tight make you look heavier. Even a slim girl can bulge over too-tight jeans.
Put on a coat of clear nail polish before a colored polish to keep your nails from discoloring.
Being angry really does take away from your beauty now and will result in more wrinkles later.
Wearing less make-up makes you look younger.Wearing clothes that are tight make you look heavier. Even a slim girl can bulge over too-tight jeans.
* If you are unhappy with a hair conditioner, it will still make a great "shaving cream" for your legs in the shower.
When shaving, don't stretch the skin or you could cause ingrown hairs by shaving hair off slightly under the skin.
Drink plenty of water and get eight hours of sleep every day.
Tighten bra straps as they stretch out, or buy a new bra when they can't tighten any further, to keep the bosom looking young and perky.
Wearing a low heel will give you better posture than wearing flat shoes.

As the change of seasons is upon us again in Atlanta, Ga. the chance to revamp your wardrobe is starring at you from the depths of your closet. Are you going to ignore it one more year or are you going to take charge and make some changes? I know from personal experience it is a lot more fun to take charge and make some cool changes then it is to continue the same drab clothing game you played last fall/winter.
To get yourself in the change game here are 5 Tips to make it happen.
1. The first step is to make some room for those new fall cloths your will be adding to your wardrobe. When you put away the summer garments make sure you clean them. You don't want the deodorant and sweat and all that residue to sit on your cloths for the next 5 months. Store the clothes in clothing containers with lids so they don't get all stretched out on hangers and smashed in some spare closet in another part of the house.
2. Alright, now you have some room in the closet so it is time to start adding those cool fall clothes. Spend some time tuning into the fall trends and fashions. Think about what it is you would like to add to the wardrobe. It is a good idea to make a list of pieces you must have, pieces that would be nice if you can find some good deals and the pieces you will only buy if the deal is just too good to be true.
3. You want to stay away for fashion trends that will be short lived. Spending money on trends that go out of style are a waste of money. You want to stick to a more practical trendy idea. Then you can get a few seasons out of the piece instead of just one.
4. ROI is an important element to consider when buying clothing. Cost per wear is the fashion calculation for Return on Investment. In other words you can justify something much better if you know you will wear it a lot. Example: Total price of item / Estimated number of days you will wear the item = Cost per wear.
This is very important when analyzing what items make more sense to buy, even if the ticket price is higher. For example, if you buy a jacket for $300 but you are going to wear it 50 times over the next 5 years you would have a cost per wear of .83 cents per wear.
On the other hand if you are looking at the coolest super trendy scarf for $20 and you will only wear it 2 times it will be a $10 cost per wear. That is unacceptable. We want to keep the cost per wear under $1.00.
5. Washing instructions need to be considered when purchasing specialty garments. If it costs you $20 every time you need to clean the item the cost of the garment keeps going up. This is not a good investment. There are so many options these days it does not make any sense to buy items that will continue to increase in cost.
