3 Proven ways to get a Flawless skin: CLEANSING | MOISTURIZING | EXFOLIATING

CLEANSING
A great cleanser is your first step. Don't cut corners with face wipes, but find a cream or liquid cleanser that suits you.

MOISTURIZING
Hydration is another essential factor in getting perfect skin. Besides drinking plenty of water, moisturising is truly essential.

EXFOLIATING
It's important to regularly exfoliate your skin to rid the build-up of dead, dry skin cells on the surface and to help make it brighter, smoother and fresher.

ANIMAL PRINTS

Animal prints are a sexy, fresh fashion trend that you definitely have to embrace if you haven't. However, the same can be a bit tricky if you really don't know how to rock it.

Some of the prints we have are 

1. Zebra prints
2. Leopard prints
3. Snake prints

Here are some of the mistakes we make while wearing animals prints:

·        Wearing too much jewellery.

·        Wearing two different animal prints at once

·        Wearing animal print with other types of prints.

One major myth is that animal printed outfits can only be complimented in black. This is not true as one can wear animal prints with any color as long as you use one color to complement the print.

Animal printed outfits are already ‘busy’ so they need little or no accessories. If you are wearing a top that is printed, wear a bottom that is of one color and vice versa. In the case where you are wearing a full printed outfit, please accompany it with a neutral clutch and shoes so as to avoid looking bulky.

DID YOU KNOW.

1. For female garments the zip is always on the right, and for the male it is on the left hand side.

2. Black colored garments make you look one size smaller; this is why pregnant women are always in black.

3. When going for a shoot, they always advice against white outfits. This is because a white top/outfit reflects on the camera flash resulting to blurred pictures unless it is on a dark background.

4. Shoulder pads are mostly found in female garments to broaden their shoulders.

5. Belts were designed in early 90' to particularly serve the male soldiers in widening their shoulders, while corsets for females to create the same feel.

6. Male pockets are deeper and square-shaped to accommodate more items, while female pockets tend to be shallow.

These are just some of those things we really don’t give active thought to. Enjoy your week, won’t you!

LINES /PATTERNS AND HOW TO MAKE THEM WORK FOR YOU

Line and patterns are found on fabrics. One can actually manipulate lines to make them either have a waist line, an hour glass shape or even broad shoulders. In this case we will look at how to manipulate the lines and patterns and how to make you look fabulous.

When buying a top and you are a small size, lines that go horizontally make you look bigger in size. The lines tend to enhance your figure by widening your shape.

As for vertical lines, they make you look taller by lengthening your lower body to make shorter people.
In the case of men; if you want to broaden your shoulders make sure you buy a shirt that has horizontal lines on your shoulder areas and to make you have wider shoulders, and for shorter men I recommend you to buy trousers with lines that run horizontally as this lengthens your lower body.

To have that hour glass shape concentrate lines to emphasize that body shape. To get that, you can use a belt, a brooche and attain these same desirable look.  For patterns the same applies; however as these should be done with care to avoid distorting the outfit and making it loose its niche.

MISTAKES WE MAKE #EPISODE ONE

Fashion is amazing, it’s an open field where you can always play and get away with it. Every day designers come up with new trends and as a person, one can play around with one outfit and come up with different outfits all together. One of such amazing creations is Belts. Belts are amazing, and every lady who uses them can agree with me that they not only help you get a waist for those who need enhancement, but also give you that hourglass shape that comes with style. In the same spirit, belts can be highly misused and here are some of the ways in which they are;

1.       A stretcher belt should Not be used with plus size ladies; this is because it gives you a partition on your waist, and at some point its even swallowed giving you that awkward ‘jonnybravo like shape.’  Instead, use leather belts. These help to give you a waist without any partitions and create that hourglass shape that not only makes you feel feminine but sexy too.

2.       For size 6-12, I highly recommend that you use the slim belts. Since for you, it’s not about the waist size, a slim belt helps to flatter your small waist giving you that cooperate look if it’s for an official trouser or skirt or on jeans. It shifts the focus from the waist to your bosom and the hips. I wouldn't recommend huge belts for women who are a size 6. You don’t look good at all. But if you have to use it, maybe on a bulky sweater, to hold it together as ‘a button’. Wear it on the skirt waist, otherwise known as high waist.

3.        Men, if you want to look stylish, this is how it goes. Match the belts color to the shoes color. If the belt is brown, let the shoes be brown. In the case of multicolored shoes, stick to a black belt. One more thing, the buckle of your belt really defines a ma., A buckle that is falling apart shows that your disorganized, but a firm buckle speaks official, all put together sharp guy.

This is just my opinion. what's yours? And in what other ways are belts misused?

FIRST IMPRESSIONS LAST FOREVER

The first 30 seconds you met someone or someone meets you are very important.Within these seconds,the image you give a person not only lasts for that whole seating but might last forever if you never meet again.

Too tight clothes,oversize clothes messy hair or unpolished shoes,overdone make up are some of the things one notices ones you walk in that door.
In fashion its said image is everything,the way you talk,walk,eat and to some extent even breath can either break or make your image.At any point,be neat and by neat i don't mean expensive!!Do you know you can wear an original Louis Vuitton so badly that you leave everyone around the table not want to wear the label ever again,while on the other hand wear a 'camera suit' from Gikomba or better yet what i like calling sunshine boutique and leave people asking for  more?

In a nutshell what i mean is be clean at all time;Men wear a clean share or manicure your hair well if it has to stay long.Keep short,well manicured nails and iron what needs to be ironed before you leave the house.
Ladies hair is very woman's adorn.Keep a well maintained weave or braids.Well manicured nails and last but not least fitting clothes.
