6 tips to dress sexy at any age

 

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! I hope you are doing well. I was motivated to schedule all my posts on time but I am still struggling to get inspiration. So here I am releasing Tuesday's post on Thursday. Anyway, let's get right into it. I blogged about that topic before but I thought it would be a good idea to share a simpler version of the original post: How to dress sexy (not trashy) at any age.  Before we get started, remember that the quality of the clothing pieces are key. Also, take the time to identify your attributes and then make the most of them: if you are an 8 or a A use a belt to accentuate your waist, if you have long and nice legs, wear a mini skirt or some shorts but remember the rule of 1 etc. In the meantime, here's 6 tips to dress sexy at any age:  

3 Tips to eliminate toxic people from your life

Hi everyone,

Happy Sunday! Today I want to talk about toxic people. "Just like any toxic thing—like food or poison—toxic people are extremely dangerous," Tara Mackey, author of Cured by Nature and founder of The Organic Life. As long as I remember I was gifted with the ability to get rid of toxic people in my environment as soon as they get close to me. Interacting with toxic people who constantly cut you down or manipulate you to their own advantage can take a toll on your own mental health. And yet, it can be difficult to distance yourself from them."Toxic people can try to cling on—sometimes for years! They can make you feel guilty and because of that, are not always easy to remove from your life,” says Mackey. To help you detox your relationships once and for all, here are some of my tips for getting rid of harmful personalities.

Sustainable Fashion - What it is & My personal opinion

Hi everyone,

Today, I wanted to discuss a little more about sustainable fashion as it is the way to improve your life, become more aware of the environment, help with savings and probably learn how to make the best of your wardrobe or simply help you create a wardrobe that takes all of the above into account while reflecting your style personality and taste for fashion. As per Wikipedia, sustainable fashion is a movement and process of fostering change to fashion products and the fashion system towards greater ecological integrity and social justice. Sustainable fashion concerns more than just addressing fashion textiles or products. It comprises addressing the whole system of fashion. 

Happy Tuesday - Catch Up with me

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! I hope you are doing well. I am doing great and a little tired. My weekend was quite busy between one of my nieces birthday and another one's first communion. The kids were really happy and I had so much fun in the kitchen baking a few of my exotics desserts. Nieces and nephews were happy and I was thrilled to be given the opportunity to spoil them as I don't have time to do that often. 

Featured Post: 10 tips to practice gratitude everyday.

Hi everyone,

Happy Saturday! I spent hours trying to come up with a topic to write about but nothing came out of my tired brain. I was about to give up then  I had the brillant idea to feature one of my baby sister's (actually my sister in-law) writings. She's 23 and started documenting her journey of becoming a stronger and better version of herself. Don't hesitate to visit and follow her blog Karo's Little Corner. For today's post, 10 tips to practice gratitude everyday.

Tip Tips To Keep Your Lips Beautiful And Healthy

Hi everyone,

We will all probably be able to admit that through 2020 we have probably paid less attention to self-care, especially towards the end during winter. Despite moisturising, you will have probably found that your skin and lips have been far more irritated than normal, one of the biggest reasons why will be because we need to wear face masks to protect ourselves and others while out. Some of us even need to wear them throughout the day to complete our work, so, it’s not really a surprise that now we are in 2021, our lips are overdue a little bit of care. 

10 things we need to let go of to be happy

Hi everyone,

I decided not to post on Tuesday January 12, as a memorial to the terrible earthquake that happened back in 2010. Eleven years ago, I witnessed an horror movie turned into reality right before my eyes: More than 300,000 people were killed, several hundred thousand were injured and nearly 1.5 million were left homeless when the magnitude 7 earthquake hit Haiti on Jan. 12, 2010. I opted to spend the day remembering the deaths and expressing my gratitude to the almighty God for sparing me and my family from this catastrophe. I ended my day with a group of youth who invited me to give a speech on "Fashion & Handicap" as a way of celebrating life and a reminder that we should all make the best of today.  Talking to them about the purpose of our journey on earth and how short and unpredictable that journey fueled the inspiration behind today's post. Here's 10 things that we need to let go of to be happy.

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! I hope you are doing well. In the previous post, I talked about the trends that we are expecting to see this Spring/Summer 2021 as well as those we know are not going anywhere anytime soon such as the leather trend that I decided to add a few pieces in my wardrobe other than the classic perfecto.

Large and in-charge blazers, bold blue bags, and sleek face masks dominated Fashion Weeks over the last few weeks. And while we are all excited to see how fast fashion will interpret those trends,we should be mindful of which one of these trends we will incorporate in our wardrobe based on our lifestyle, bodyshape, skin complexion and personal style.

My New Year 2021 Resolutions & 5 Tips for Keeping Your Resolutions This Year

Hi everyone,

The start of a new year is the perfect time to turn a new page, which is probably why so many people make New Year's resolutions. The new year often feels like a fresh start and a great opportunity to change bad habits and establish new routines that will help you grow psychologically, emotionally, socially, physically, or intellectually. Of course, resolutions are much easier to make than to keep, and before we know it, many of us have abandoned our resolve and settled back into our old patterns.

Happy New Year 2021
