Gawd, I can’t wait to see this.
Stand Out with Accessories
Posted by admin on Apr 1, 2009 in shopping, women issues
Whenever I feel that I’m underdressed or that my outfit is too simple, I make it up by wearing fabulous accessories. My favorites are jewelries but from time to time, I put on a nice silk scarf to brighten up a very plain shirt. If you’re not sure which looks good, you can check ShopWiki’s buying guide for accessories. I rely on their recommendations when I’m in doubt. Plus they offer a huge listing of products and where exactly you can buy it online.
Aside from jewelries, shoes can make a big difference to one’s outfit. You may have the attire of the century but if your shoes are wrong, then it will ruin the entire look. Check out SHopWiki’s buying guide to learn how to find that perfect fit. Their guide talks about how you should bring extra socks and stockings, checking for areas that pinch, how your toes should feel, etc. As for me, I’m just waiting for the weather to get a bit colder so I can buy one of these.
While you’re in there, read on the fashion trends too. From winter to spring to summer, you’ll learn how to maximize your wardrobe by buying a few pieces that you can mix and match.

More tips from this site.
Relax, don’t do it
When you are feeling stressed, or when you are getting really worked up, try this emergency relaxation technique
1. Say, “Stop!” firmly to yourself – aloud if the situation permits, mentally if not.
2. Breathe in, becoming aware of your jaw and shoulders as you do so. Breathe out slowly, making the exhalation longer than the inhalation, allowing your shoulders and jaw to relax as you do so. Mentally say to yourself, “Let go”.
3. Breathe in, focusing your awareness on your chest, arms and hands. Breathe out slowly, relaxing your chest, arms and hands as you do so. Mentally say, “Let go”.
4. Breathe in, focusing your awareness on your stomach muscles, thighs and buttocks. Breathe out slowly allowing your stomach muscles, thighs and buttocks to relax as you do so. Mentally say, “Let go”.
I am guilty of overthinking sometimes so I’m willing to do this even if it sounds too opra-ish. I’ve only tried a similar technique when I was attending my pre-natal classes but even then, it didn’t work for me. However, I’m older, wiser and need to relax so bad that I will do my utmost to let things go.
