Shopping
Mall 101
Every
Diva must learn her way around the shopping mall in detail.
She should know where every store is located and what particular
designer labels they carry, to include make-up, shoes, hair salon, and
party gifts. How else will
she accomplish any emergency type shopping in less than an hour. Can you
image a last minute invite or decision to go to the ball of all balls,
and you have only a few hours to get ready.
Experienced Divas would already have a few new outfits ready to
wear with all the necessary accessories to match, in their closets.
But you can never tell when an emergency can pop up.
I suggest that you take several trips to the mall and do some
window shopping. Take a
friend along if you wish, but do not buy anything until you have
completed all the exercises in this chapter.
Your
Self Image
Your
self image is how you see yourself in relation to
others. It could be physically or it may be more about
the idea you have of yourself which could also be called
your self concept. Your self image or “your look” is
very important because studies indicate that there is a
direct correlation between the effects your self esteem
and your level of confidence. Rule #1 - never compare
yourself to anyone else. Never, Never, Never!!! Self
image consists of: What you think you look like
physically; how your personality and attitude is
presented; what kind of person you think you may be;
what your wardrobe is saying to people; and how others
interpret your total package…—and you can trust
this Diva when I say, YOUR TOTAL PACKAGE counts. Let’s
face it, you may be a beauty queen on the outside… but
if you are a dumb, stuck-up, wanna-beplayette with a
nasty attitude… —others will see you as a dumb,
stuck-up, wanna-be-playette with a nasty attitude that
just happened to look good. Men may see you as a
“hit-and-run” playmate, but not much more than that.
The
connection to self-esteem is that if you have a poor
self-image your self-esteem will be poor. If you have a
high self-image, your self-esteem will be high, thus
creating the Diva like quality that we are trying to
create. Remember, self-esteem focuses on how you feel
about yourself. Self image is about how you see
yourself. They are, as you can see, quite close. We will
review self-esteem further in chapter 4. Again your
self-image and esteem, has a direct correlation with how
you feel and view yourself, thus supporting my looking
good/feeling good theory.

Dating
Tips with the Help of Your Stylist
By: Liz Bone, Image Consultant @ Bev Knox
Consulting
Searching for the love of your
life can be a hard process filled with dead end
roads and one way streets.
We’ve all heard, that you must love
yourself before you can love anyone else.
But one thing that is for sure… is that
great styling can really give you that
confidence you need to go on that next date…
that one date that may change your life and how
you feel about love in general.
The first minute of your date
as you walk towards them is probably the most
important moment of the entire night.
It will set the path for what’s to
come. Before an emotional connection/attraction
can be formed, you must first have a physical
one.
When dressed appropriately,
you feel better about yourself… and when that
happens you will also gain confidence about
yourself. So
when you are going out on a date, you are to go
out saying, “I look good and I’m gonna rock
this date.”
And believe me, your date will see your
confidence that radiates from your sense of
style.
A little shopping therapy with
some help from a professional stylist can make
you feel greater than you felt in years. From
straightening your hair, applying makeup,
figuring out how to change that work outfit into
a night outfit or just accessorizing an outfit
you never knew had potential.
Finding that look that makes you look
your best doesn’t have to be a hard task. A
stylist can help you learn the skills and it can
greatly help your outlook in life. For instance,
there are hundreds of ways to change up that
little black dress hanging in your closet.
Slight changes from jewelry, styling your
hair, jackets, shoes, belts and scarves can make
the difference.
It only takes one person and
one moment to change how you feel about
yourself, why not let us be that person.

Work
Day to Night Life: Changing that outfit from
Conservative to Sexy
There’s
nothing better than hitting happy hour after a
long 8 hour day at work.
But how can you show off your best, wearing
that 2 piece suit and collared shirt you wore to
work?
With
the knowledge of a stylist you can find out the
secrets to changing your work outfit to a fun and
sexy look to go to happy hour, night out on the
town or a sizzling hot date.
For
all you women out there… avoid using elastics to
put up your hair.
Why? To avoid getting that ponytail line in
your hair that can look so tacky.
Using a clip, pin, or headband are great
alternatives to pushing your hair back during the
day. It allots for that easy transaction to let
your hair loose when the clock strikes 5.
While
those plain blouses can be a little to modest for
anything but work, bringing a trendy jacket or
sweater that has a little sparkle or flare, adds
some style and comfort to your outfit.
For
all who have the option, keep a pair of heels
under your desk to switch it up from your flats
when needed.
To make you look more fabulous, add a
little bit of lipstick or lip gloss and you are
ready for a night out without feeling like you are
looking too conservative for anything beyond work.
It is the small things that make the difference
from day to night… Average to FABULOUS!
Conservative to SEXY!
Beauty
Trends for the Spring
Even with all of this record
braking snow, spring is emerging soon and so are
the spring fashion trends.
In the beauty world there are
two major looks for the hair. One
being the hippy look with long wavy hair, and the
other being the sleek look with tightly pulled
back hair and various different versions of the
bun to the poker straight hair.
The other popular look seen on
the runway for the beauty world is the juicy
bright lips and eyes.
These looks have been spotted throughout
all the runways from Marc Jacobs, Diane Von
Furstenberg and Oscar de la Renta in tones of
coral, pinks and red.
The 70s style is coming back
into action with its bright colors and fun styles,
just in time for the spring… we are ever so
waiting to arrive.

The Seven Secret Steps To Look And Feel Fabulous
Guest Author - Moss Greene
1. FOCUS YOUR THOUGHTS TO FEEL
GOOD.
Feelings provide you with valuable feedback as to
how you’re thinking – whether it’s about past memories, present
experiences, or future visions. If you feel bad, your thoughts are
focused on worry, fear, self-pity, blame or resentment. Good feelings
mean you’re thinking about something uplifting. Each moment is an
opportunity for you to manage your happiness by choosing whatever
thoughts make you feel best.
2. CREATE AN OUTRAGEOUS VIRTUAL REALITY.
All creation begins in the imagination. Your thoughts are magnetic.
They attract to you whatever you clearly envision, believe is
possible, and feel good about. If you focus on a virtual reality
fantasy that you believe is impossible, but you feel good while you
think about it, then you will attract something different to yourself
that makes you feel equally as good.
3. GIVE THANKS FOR ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING.
You are the one who gets to decide whether your life is half empty or
half full. If you focus on the fullness, you will be amazed at how
much fuller it gets. And this will happen fast. Start by imagining
that every single thing that happens is truly perfect – even the
stuff that seems bad. You become super powerful when you can maintain
an attitude of gratitude and know that everything will turn out for
the best.
4. EAT, DRINK AND ENJOY A HEALTHY DIET.
Your body was designed to run best on certain kinds of fuel – just
like your lawn mower, your weed eater or your car. But, it won’t do
much good for you to eat well if you can’t enjoy the food. Negative
thoughts can poison your good nutrition. The best bet is to learn to
love to eat healthy, so you provide both your body and your mind with
the best of all possible nourishment.
5. INVENT EXCITING, REWARDING PROJECTS.
It’s up to you to make your life worth living. Maybe your Mom did it
for you when you were a kid, but more than likely nobody’s doing it
for you now. So it’s your turn. Make a list of things you’d really
like to do. Choose one and run with it. Having stimulating projects,
that you can sink your teeth into, can really get your juices flowing
and add the blush of youth to your cheeks.
6. MOVE YOUR BODY AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
Keeping active helps you stay young, healthy and vibrant. Your body is
designed to move, so move it. Action helps circulate nourishment
through blood, tissues and organs to all of your trillions of cells.
The muscles you build during exercise make you strong, energetic and
attractive.
7. HAVE FUN – YOU’RE HERE TO PLAY!
Could it be the world is just a giant playground and you’re here to
enjoy yourself? Is that the secret of life? Yes, it is! Of course,
some children fight and throw sand at each other or push other kids
off the play gym, but that’s all just part of the game. The contrast
helps you see what you want and don’t want. You can lovingly accept
others - whatever way they choose to play. So make your choices, let
everyone else make theirs, and really have a great time – that’s
what you’re here for.

According to
www.indiaparenting.org...
The first thing we
notice about any person we meet, are the looks. No
matter how much we preach and believe that it's what's
inside that matters, we still judge people on the basis
of what we see on the outside. And others do the same
for us. So naturally everybody likes to look good. The
better looking you are, the better you feel about
yourself, and the better you feel about yourself, the
more others like you. Sometimes it feels like a catch-22
situation. Not fair, but that's the way it is.
What
is it that constitutes good looks?
Universally, the norms
of beauty have been the same through the ages -
symmetrical features, well groomed hair, large, wide set
eyes. and, a clear complexion. In fact, achieving clear,
acne-free complexion is the first step towards looking
good. You can still be considered gorgeous if you have
untidy hair or tiny eyes, but not if you have a bad
complexion. So get started on the route to achieving
flawless skin. It takes work, but the results are well
worth it.
Skin care is not just
cleansing, toning and moisturising. There's a lot more
to it, and the more you look after your skin, the better
the results. And what better way to get started on the
route to a peaches and cream complexion than with a
facial? |
