Easy steps to a wardrobe that works for you
Thu, Aug 19, 2010
It is an exciting time of the year, with shops bursting with the new season’s collections. You probably can’t wait to hit the shops and buy those must have pieces that will get you through the season, but before going you need to make sure that your wardrobe works for you. Do you feel you have so many clothes, you can’t see them? Or nothing goes with anything, and the tag is still on some clothes? Or maybe you feel completely lost every morning when you open your wardrobe?

Thu, Aug 19, 2010
According to traditional Chinese medicine, the root of excess weight is an imbalance within the body caused by malfunctioning of the spleen and liver.
Acupuncture with traditional Chinese medicine can make it easier to deal with stress, frustration, and anxiety that can trigger overeating and bingeing on fattening foods. Endorphins also affect the digestive and hormonal systems, so acupuncture can help rebalance the organ systems. Some people opt for drugs or fad diets; too often this is counterproductive. The problem may well be that, after years of impaired digestion, their metabolism may simply not be functioning as well as it should.

Thu, Aug 12, 2010
The new season is fast approaching and this is always a good time to think of revamping or clearing out your wardrobe and shopping for exciting new pieces. Because style is all about understanding what suits you, I want to help you to look more closely at the shape of your clothes and know if they work for you. My top tips will help to find what is really right for you.
If you feel you are pretty much straight up and down and you want to introduce womanly curves, you may have what we call a boyish or a column figure. The shape of your clothes can help you create curves. You need to add bulk where there is a lack of curves. For example a shirt with ruffles at the front will create a fuller cleavage. On a skirt, look for volume on the hips and bum. Use as many details as you want, such as pockets, horizontal lines, or layering, and go for higher necklines.
