First Date

Every woman needs a nice fitting pair of dark jeans in her closet because they’re so versatile. You can either dress them up or down depending on where you’re going, and no one will even know or care if you wear them twice in one weekend. Own a go-to pair that makes you feel confident no matter what the activity you’re participating in. Go shopping and take your time trying different pairs on until you find the perfect match for your body type. An additional wardrobe staple you should have in your closet is a mix of colorful blousy tops you can pair with your jeans. Don’t be afraid to purchase tops that have stylish patterns and designs in addition to bold solids.

Music Concert

Hop online at Ticket sales and attend a concert or show with your friends in your free time. What you’ll want in your closet is a little black dress you can throw on for this type of occasion. You can turn this one piece of clothing into many outfits by wearing it with a jean jacket, with a large pair of sparkly earrings or plain with a heel that adds a pop of color. A little black dress is one staple you definitely want to make sure you secure because you’ll be getting a lot of use out of in the future. This is also a chance for you to play with your makeup and use unique shades you normally wouldn’t wear from day-to-day.

Backyard BBQ

You never know when you’re going to be asked to join your friends or family for an outdoor BBQ, especially in the summertime when it’s nice and warm outside. Invest in a pair or two of solid colored or black shorts and wear them with your favorite tank top. You can also spruce up your outfit a bit by buying a pair of strappy sandals that add style to your feet. Bring a cardigan sweater along should the temperature drop and you want to cover up.

Wedding

The weekend is an opportunity for you to unwind and have fun celebrating the marriage between two people you adore. You’re going to have a more enjoyable time attending this type of event when you know you look good. Find a dress that’s classy and flattering and that you can easily move around in. Complete your outfit by accessorizing and layering to help spruce up dull or plainer garments and bring all that you’re wearing together nicely. For example, grab an attractive handbag on your way out the door or put on a statement necklace that catches people’s attention.

Conclusion

Your life is going to be that much more fun and pleasant when you’re prepared for any occasion. Start cleaning out your closet now and filling it with these pieces to help you always feel confident and stylish. You’ll thank yourself later for being prepared to get ready and not having to think too hard about what you’re doing.

Recreate The Look: Met Gala Hair and Yara Shahidi

Yara’s hair made a classic but bold and voluminous statement for last night’s Met Gala.

Inspiration: Naivasha was inspired by “Whimsical Texture.” She wanted to celebrate texture in the most glamorous way with a 60-inch ponytail.

To Recreate the Look:

  • Start by saturating the hair in quadrants and tame any frizz by using the John Frieda Frizz Ease Curl Reviver Mousse and brush through thoroughly with a paddle brush
  • Part hair into a 3 section triangle and apply John Frieda Frizz Ease Dream Curls Air Dry Waves Styling Foam to enhance curls and create a touchable-soft style. Brush each section smoothly to the nape
  • Next, gather the 3 sections and wrap tightly with a hair bungee to secure a sleek ponytail. Take a section of the hair and wrap around pony to cover the bungee
  • Then, gently mist the ponytail with John Frieda Frizz Ease Daily Nourishment Leave-In Conditioner to give the hair moisturized and keep it hydrated through the night
  • As a final touch, Naivasha added a veil to Yara’s look

Sweat it Out

Sweating is a great way to clear out your pores and make your skin glow afterward. One of the best ways to do this is getting down to the gym, or go for a jog around your local park. It doesn’t matter what kind of exercise you’re doing, as long as you make sure you sweat and get out of breath while you’re doing it. You don’t even need to do it for ages either; twenty minutes would be enough if you worked really hard. Introducing exercise into your routine means regularly clearing out your pores. Sweating is the best way to get your skin to look new and can unclog anything that washing your face, or makeup wipes, might not be able to get. Make sure you sweat a few times each week and your skin will look and feel healthier, not to mention you will feel better about it too.

You could also introduce a spa routine, or use it after you exercise for double the results. The steam room and sauna will make you sweat with no effort at all. This will have similar results to exercise, and if you stay in there long enough, you will definitely build up a huge sweat! Try using the steam room or sauna after your run the best results. Not only will exercise and the spa is great for how your looks and feels, it will reduce stress as well, which can also affect the health and wellbeing of your skin.

Reduce Stress

Exercise and taking some time to relax is fantastic for your skin for many reasons, including reducing stress. Stress and anxiety can have lots of varying effects on your body as well. For some people, this stress manifests on their skin. The life of modern women can be varying difficult at times, what with families, partners, and trying to keep your job going well too. Although you cannot change some of these stresses on your life, you can try to take some time for yourself, which can help to reduce stress.

What kind of things makes you feel relaxed? For some, this is a hot bath, candles, and a good book. For others, this could be taking some time to have a walk in a local park, to get away from the hustle and bustle, that demands so much of you. Everyone’s idea of relaxation is different, so find out what works for you, and make time for it in your life. It is amazing how better your skin can look, and how you can feel when you take steps to reduce stress and lead a more relaxed life.

Taking Your Makeup Off

This might seem obvious, but so many women leave their makeup and products on overnight or for long periods and forget or don’t bother to remove it. It might not seem like this would affect your skin, and you might not see any difference sort time either. Over time though it can affect your skin. Many women need to put more and more makeup on the more they wear it, and so end up leaving more on. Leaving product on your skin means that it can’t breathe overnight, and it can clog your pores up. Make sure you take the time to take off your makeup and product before you go to sleep, so your skin can breathe throughout the night. Letting it have this time to breathe is super important, and can help it look and feel clearer the next day. Then you have a blank canvas to work with the next day when you wake up, a win-win.

Skin Products

Most women should have at least moisturizers amongst their skin products. This is great for when you jump out the shower and need to freshen up your face. Especially if you wear glasses, they can create dry skin where they come into contact with your skin. Making sure your skin is moisturized is a good habit to get into when caring for your skin.  When the weather is cold and windy, it is especially important to make sure you care for your skin, as it can dry out or be affected by colder weather.

There are loads of natural and organic skin products out there too, which could benefit your skin. It is worth researching alternative skin products, like tamanu oil benefits for example. Natural and organic products are going to be so much better for your skin. Artificially sourced materials are good, but natural products will rejuvenate your skin in a completely different way than artificial products.

Wearing sunscreen matters a lot, especially if you live in a sunny area. Incorporating it into your skin care and moisturizing routine each day will ensure your skin is always protected. The sun can have drastic effects on your health, often without you even realizing it, so make sure to protect your skin.

Here are just a few ways you can make your skin look and feel healthier. Reducing stress, making sure you take products off properly and sweating it out, are all great ways to improve the health of your skin. Try some of these today and see the amazing results they can have.
