Colors talk! What do they say about you?

Angela — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 22:17:07 +0000

Browns are Beautiful

This is what Brown has to say:

Brown clothing is usually perceived as being more informal. However, it can reveal reliability and warm-heartedness.

Most brown clothing and accessories look classy, as long as they look new and are well-maintained.

Brown pants — similar to black pants — go with most colors, from beige to red.

Wearing brown gives people the impression of: stamina and patience, a tendency to be very solid and substantial, conscientious, dependable, steady and conservative.

Browns show responsibility, reliability and kindness.

Here are some wardrobe strategies to consider as you build your spring wardrobes:

Angela — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 17:05:15 +0000

q Before you shop, do a closet assessment; see what you have and determine what you really “need”

q Work with items you love, build on these key pieces

q Don’t buy anything unless you know it will ‘work hard’ for you by mixing and matching to make numerous outfits (A bargain is not a bargain if it hangs in your closet)

q Consider that you only need to add a few strategically chosen new items to give your wardrobe a significant boost

q Invest in tailoring for a custom fit (this is an expense that is well worth the investment)

q Invest in quality verses name brand.

q Take shoes to the repair shop for a pick me up for about $20 verses $50-$150 new

q Shop Bargain Rack first for prices that fit everybody’s pocketbook. Buy only the things that fit your body shape & wardrobe strategy

q Make a ‘wish list’ and let me figure out how to make your ‘wishes’ come true (birthday, anniversary, Mother’s Day)

q keep the quality in your lifestyle spending wisely

Most people only utilize 20% of their clothes in their closet. And having 20% they have barely or never worn. With the economy being tight learn how to shop savvy. Sometimes right out of your own closet!

Investing in an Image consultant saves $$$$ by effectively giving you the tools you need to build a strong wardrobe to send a consistent timeless message. Invest in a closet audit, personal eveluation of clothing shapes and styles that work for your shape. Learn how to shop like a pro picking the colors that will radiate against your skin.

Schedule a closet Audit with a professional to enhance your Image at a fraction of the cost of random purchasing that doesn’t always work hard for you.

Angela — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 20:13:19 +0000

Healthy luster and glowing hair isn’t just for the Hollywood crowd. Treat your hair with kindness, boar-bristled or thermal brushes and the right products with proper care…you will shine like a Star!

One of the most important things you can do when you treat your hair with care is wash your hair with professionally recommended shampoo twice and try to shampoo every other day.. You don’t need a ton of the shampoo, just a pea to dime-sized amount on wet hair. Rub the product in-between your hands evenly distribute then Lather, lather, lather at the scalp (don’t worry about the ends) using the pads of your fingers. Then rinse fully. Repeat this step as the first shampoo breaks down products and does not lather as well, the second shampoo cleanses your scalp and do not worry about your ends.

Only a pea to dime- sized amount of conditioner (buy liters or ask if refills are available at a discount if you’re trying to be economical) and work this in by taking your hair into a ponytail and then running your hand down, concentrating on the ends. Then take your hands and rake them through from the roots to the tips. Shave your legs, wash your face or scrub your feet with aloof for a bit before rinsing the conditioner out.
When you towel dry, don’t rub… squeeze out the excess water by blotting. Comb through with a wide toothed comb starting at the ends (this prevents breakage). Let the styling begin

You too will have gorgeous shiny Hollywood hair!

Color to Dye for

Angela — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 15:07:55 +0000

You may spend hours coordinating your ensembles, from your earrings to your blouse to your toenail polish. Having a killer outfit not in the right hue or shade of color will break the stylish look.

Consider this:
Is your hair color matching your skin tone? It’s essential, the right shade to Dye for will flatter and give a radiant glow to your skin tone. The wrong hue can make your complexion look washed out, sallow, drab, or muddy. The right shade will enhance your skin tone and coloring, you can rejuvenate your complexion, brighten up your best features from head to toe while radiating a glowing youthful complexion. This is key for a consistent powerful image and you wear it every day. It is the most cost effective way to enhance your appearance on a daily basis.

Use a color uncomplimentary to your eye, hair and skin tone, and people ask if you’re feeling okay or tired.

If gold compliments your skin then you would be best suited in warmer shades of color.

Bold or subdued colors in the right shade to accent your face will permeate confidence and pose.

A professional color expert will be the best investment to achieve optimum results.
