Dressing and Looking Appropriately According To Age

Posted on by Rossel Dacio

looking appropriatelyBeautifying oneself is not an easy task as it requires a lot of effort and perseverance. The whole package of being one isn’t just about looking good but feeling good and acting good as well. Sometimes real beauty is being quantified on how a person handles beauty etiquette.

Beauty etiquette is the process of knowing how look appropriately in various occasions. A beautiful face can be an advantage but if it is going to be partnered with inappropriate outfit plus an inappropriate makeup, then it would be useless.

Age is one of the determinants on how to look appropriately and it would include the choices of clothes, the shade of your makeup as well as the tint of your lip color.

20’s – this is the time of your life wherein you’re about to enter adulthood yet you’re still keeping the teenage aura. Get rid of too colorful accessories and avoid keeping up with the trend as it doesn’t suit everyone else. Start wearing your makeup in bold colors and try to experiment with silhouettes and hemlines

30’s – at this age you need to display a little bit of your authoritative side and keep your haircut in light layers. Bangs can also be used to hide your first line of wrinkles. Your makeup should be kept fresh by having rosy cheeks and some lip gloss.

40’s – this is the right time to add color to your hair as the gray ones are starting to appear. Thinning of lashes is very common so thickening your mascara can be of great help.

50’s and above – at this point, you can’t hide some of those fine lines but it doesn’t mean that you can no longer look fresh. You should avoid using too much foundation and keep your lip color on the lighter side. Dark colored lips can only emphasize the fine lines around the mouth. At this age, your hair needs conditioning more often to avoid split ends and brittleness.

Posted on by Rossel Dacio

Most people complain about gaining weight over the holidays. That’s already a fact that is often taken in stride as an expected result of all the partying and celebrating during the Christmas season. However, if by now you’re still complaining about all that excess weight, start your health resolution. It’s time to work off those excess pounds and give a new meaning to the statement “Eat, drink, and be merry!” Redefining this statement will help you successfully get back to your pre-holiday weight. Who knows? You might even lose a couple of pounds more than you expect.

eat healthyEat Healthy – it’s time to count your calories once again. With your health resolution, you do not necessarily have to cut your calorie intake to an unreasonably low amount. You do need energy to perform your daily tasks. What you will have to work at is getting your calorie consumption to a level that matches your energy use. If you intend to go on a vigorous workout, you cannot possibly survive with only half of the recommended daily calorie intake for your height, weight, and age. Healthy foods that are packed with the nutrients that you need and none of the excess calories are always recommended.

 

drink plenty of waterDrink Plenty of Water – do not underestimate the power of water. You need water to flush out all the toxins in your body. Unknown to you, some of these toxins might be causing your body to retain more fats and bad substances. Drinking ample amounts of water can help your digestive system effectively process the foods that you eat. Staying hydrated will also keep your internal processes running smoothly while observing your health resolution.

 

workout crewBe Merry with Your Workout Crew – health resolution need not be boring. You can have fun working out by rounding up a couple of your friends and forming a workout crew. You can work on pushing each other to achieve your weight loss goals. A good support system will also make it easier for you to stick to your exercise program more faithfully.

So what are you waiting for? Start your health resolution now.
