  • Ten Tips to Look and Feel Great As you Age

    Ten Tips to Look and Feel Great As you Age

    Looking and feeling the best you can for your age is the healthy way to be.   These ten tips can help with this…

    1. Mascara on the lower lashes can accentuate fine lines under the eyes and create shadows no matter how good the quality of mascara is so only apply to the top lashes.
    2. Hair too long can visually drag the face down.  This depends on the condition of your hair and face shape also.  Most of the time shoulder length or shorter hair is more flattering as you age especially if the face has thinned in shape.
    3. If your hair is coloured ask your hairdresser about the best colour to use as you age.  Softness in colour is going to be more flattering rather than harsh blondes or black/dark brown.  This will all depend on skin colour and natural hair colouring.  Contrast will be more muted as we age.
    4. Keeping healthy with adequate water intake which would be 6-8 glasses of water on average.  As we age we tend to not respond to thirst as quickly.  Healthy food with a well balanced diet including protein, fruit and vegetables.  Adequate daily exercise is important also on average at least two hours a week in total. 
    5. The 3 S’s are the main factors which can age skin and our health a lot quicker – Smoking, Sun and Stress
    6. Stained or yellowed teeth.  Our teeth do usually darken with age just as hair lightens!  A good quality whitening toothpaste can help with this.  Also speak with your dentist about options.  Tooth Mousse is also a way to protect your tooth enamel from acidic or staining food and drink.
    7. Using good quality skincare.  Cleansing, toning and moisturising morning and night is really important especially as we age.   Use a specific night cream at night.  Use a day cream with SPF15+ and use a good body moisturiser every day.
    8. Too much makeup and also makeup that is too dark can add age to our faces.  Lighter and brighter rather than dark, deep colours in lipsticks especially is best.  
    9. Ensure your foundation garments are the right fit and shape for your body.  Arrange to have a bra fitting if you are unsure about whether you have changed in shape as you age.  Bra straps need tightening? You may be surprised about this difference this can make.
    10. Wearing the best clothing and accessory colours for your skin, hair and eye colour will ensure that you always look glowing and fresh no matter what age you are.  Recommendation is  to have a colour analysis at least every ten years.

    Best tip of all is …

    Keep happy and fulfilled doing some of what you love to do every day.  Do what you love and love what you do applies for any age …

  • Six Core Needs and Our Wardrobe

    Six Core Needs and Our Wardrobe

    How Do these Core Needs Affect our Decision Making

    At our Life Coaching Course this weekend we went into the Six Core Needs and how they affect how we make decisions.  This got me thinking about how we make our wardrobe choices.

    I figured as with choosing what to eat for dinner day to day and week to week wardrobe choices can depend largely on how your core needs are balanced.

    The two core needs which are more spiritual “Growth and Contribution” may affect the way we choose our clothes.  If  we want to improve our style of dressing and grow our sense of style.  Maybe constantly learning new makeup techniques and exploring tips and tricks can relate to “Growth”.  “Contribution” may change how our wardrobe is split up with the clothes that we wear when say, contributing to charity events.  Also when we are sorting our wardrobe whether we make a conscious effort to donate to charity or give to friends and family.

    The core needs of “Significance” and “Connection”  may be to do with whether we like to “dress to impress” or dress to build rapport and “connection” with our peers.

    The core needs of “Certainty” and  “Variety” –  depending on how those needs are weighted for an individual may determine whether they dress according to their mood at the time or whether they plan ahead.  People who like “certainty” would feel panicked if they did not have every item sorted prior to attending an important event.  They may love dressing in a uniform.  Someone who favours “variety” may love the spontaneity of  creating an outfit at short notice.  As well as a variety of clothing combinations they may like a variety of choice each day rather than have that certainty of knowing what to wear.

    We all have differing levels of these core needs and there are some which are inbuilt and some which are consciously developed.

    Do you like certainty or variety?  Do you like significance and to be noticed or to slip under the radar quite often?  Do you thrive on connection or prefer time alone?

    I have discovered that I love the variety – wondering if you have ever worked out which core needs are most important to you?

    We are all different and so much can determine how we make choices and decisions:

    • Culture
    • Genes
    • Upbringing
    • Education
    • Beliefs
    • Religion
    • Core Beliefs
    • Gender
    • Experiences
    • Financial circumstances
    • Relationships
    • Status
    • Career
    • Lifestyle

  • Avoid the Stress When Getting Dressed

    Avoid the Stress When Getting Dressed

    Stress When Getting Dressed can Affect Our Health, Social life and whole Day!

    Would you agree?  Can you relate to this?  I have heard of at least two women who have been so stressed that they have turned down social occasions because they just knew they wouldn’t be able to decide what to wear. Imagine being able to enjoy getting dressed to go out and being able to get dressed quickly so that you can walk out the door feeling confident and showing your own style.

    Before having children which was a long time ago I used to change quite a few times before going out anywhere.  I had that luxury and even if it was going to work in the morning being a true Libra Star Sign I would want everything perfect and could never make up my mind.  Once the children came along that soon changed.  Dress quick – that was it!

    Now the children have grown up and I have so many other activities that I love to spend my time on again I don’t have the time or inclination to spend ages deciding what to wear.  As well as the time factor who wants all those piles of clothes to put away?  How cool to be able to look at the weather, think of the occasion you are dressing for sports, work, social, formal and then just get dressed knowing that whatever you put on will be just right for you.

    You can avoid that last minute stress and piles of clothes to put away by:

    1. Knowing your most flattering colours and styles
    2. Only having in your wardrobe clothing and accessories that fit your own style recipe and colour palette
    3. Once you have your colour palette sorted you will know that your clothing is always going to be the right colour for your skintone, hair and eye colour AND look good with other accessories you own
    4. Make sure that all your clothing is a great fit for your body shape and the size that you are now.  Feeling comfortable in your clothing is important no matter what you are doing.
    5. If you have the space you can split your clothing into sections to cater for  different aspects to your life – Hobbies, Sports, Work, Meetings, Family Outings, Socialising
    6. If you are the sort of person who likes to be prepared well before an event ensure you have the outfit ready ahead of time to get dressed into.  Some people even plan their outfits for the following week no matter what their itinerary is.  I am writing about this in a subsequent post. 
    7. Ensure you are getting dressed for you with regard to your own style, personality, colours and comfort however also  take  into account the occasion.  
    8. Consideration for others when you dress is not about fitting in with everyone else.  It is about consciously dressing so that you can reflect who you are to the world and show respect for other people.
    9. Last but not least Number 9 – Get dressed and leave on time.  Know that you look great, you feel great and you don’t need to second guess that choice of clothing. If you are dressed as YOU, wearing YOUR colours and style, in comfortable clothing suitable for the occasion you are going to you can’t go wrong.

  • Long Haul Travel in Comfort

    Long Haul Travel in Comfort

    Can you Travel in Comfort AND Style?

    Comfort YES its a must!  Yes to  comfort AND style.   I class long haul as anything over 9 hours.  Sitting on a plane for a long time can be challenging.  My tips for stylish travel with comfort are as follows (especially for those 15 or 23 hour flights):

    • Keep it casual – If you are being met at the other end by a business associate “smart casual” can still be achieved by wearing co-ordinating comfortable clothes and taking a jacket for when you reach your destination.
    • To function efficiently after most long haul flights you may hopefully have allowed time to rest and change before going to your meetings
    • Leggings and tops are great for travel, layered with an easily removable shirt or jacket
    •  Garments made from  fabric which is breathable for comfort and wrinkle resistant for style such as cotton polyester blends are best
    • Cooler tops underneath are good in case there is a delay until take off and the air-conditioning can quite often fluctuate during this time
    • The outer layer (jacket/cardigan/coat) if soft is good to use as extra padding when snoozing on the plane
    • Shoes need to be comfortable for standing in queues at customs and easily removable.  Make sure they are not shoes that will not “give” if your feet tend to swell during a flight
    • Moisturisers and lip balms are a great idea and the least amount of makeup possible.   The airconditioning on planes is exremely drying.  Your skin needs hydration.  Arbonne Regenerating Toner is a good spray mist during long flights. Arbonne Rejuvenating Cream with its emollient properties is great as a moisturiser on top to combat that drying air.
    • Keep jewellery simple.  Scarves are great for a bit of colour  and – again for comfort.  Bulky beads and earrings are not good for napping in.  Bangles in gold or silver or other materials such as plastic or natural are best.  It is a hassle taking metallic jewellery off when going through the metal detectors.
    • Take a pair of socks on the plane to change into 
    • Lots of meals come to you on the long flights and it is best to try to avoid the carbs, sugars and alcohol if you suffer after long flights.  The airlines are really good lately about constantly offering water and it is always good to take advantage of this – hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!
    • Think about colours you wear on the plane –  No matter how clean the plane is 400+ people onboard each  747 flight and 800+ on an A380  in such a confined space light colours are just not practical
    • Neutrals are best anyway for travelling for space economy and mixing and matching – For ideas on packing for travel see the article on No Stress Travelling in Style
    • As a hint for any spills or marks soda water is good for spot removals
    • Keep your hairbrush, toothbrush, toothpaste, lipstick, mini spray deodorant and purse sized handcream handy for a freshen up before landing (Remember any gloss or toothpaste or other liquids or gels will need to be under 100ml)
    • Economy Comfort:  If you are lucky enough to travel Business or First Class the lie back seats are wonderful.  A comfort tip for Economy is to always have a sturdy bag that  can stow under the seat in front and  pull it out during a long flight to use as a footrest.

    All the best for your trip whether for business or pleasure or both – Happy travels in comfort AND style!

  • What Will You Wear to Your Next Job Interview?

    What Will You Wear to Your Next Job Interview?

    You Really DO Need to Dress to Impress

    A job interview is one of those occasions when you will want to put a lot of effort into how you present yourself.  Dress appropriately for the position you are going for and this will give you a head start to create that all important first impression.

    Here are a few tips to ensure you are going to look good and feel good for your interview.  Use this as a guideline to ensure you have thought of everything when it comes to presentation.  

    • Dress conservatively.  You can still show your personality by wearing colours that suit you
    • Concentrate mainly on neutrals with splashes of your good colours  in ties, shirts, shoes, belts, jewellery
    • Wearing a suit to an interview is a safe option.  A dark coloured suit with a light coloured shirt is a good combination
    • You are  always best, especially at a first interview,  to dress up (in a professional sense) rather than dress down.  
    • Classic suit styles are best with co-ordinating socks and dress shoes for men  
    • Your suit or outfit should be comfortable and fit you well – See The Perfect Fit for Garments
    • Avoid loud colours and super bright ties
    • Clothing should be neat, clean and pressed.
    • Avoid anything that is  bright, sheer or showing too much flesh/cleavage
    •  Skirts shouldn’t be too short – knee length is best
    • Another good rule of thumb is to dress as though you are your boss 
    • Be careful with perfumes, colognes/aftershave as you don’t want it to be overpowering or cause an allergic reaction.
    • Be particular with hygiene –  showering, shaving, teeth brushed and don’t smoke or eat just before an interview
    • Hair clean and tidy
    • Men with moustaches or beards ensure they are neatly trimmed
    • Keep jewellery simple
    • Shoes polished, medium heels and ensure they aren’t scuffed or in need of repair
    • Court shoes or pumps for women are the best option 
    • Hosiery without any snags or ladders and in neutral colours.  Have a spare pair just in case
    • Nails clean and tidy – avoid artistic manicures if you are going for a professional job.  These can look great and as with all expressions of personal style are fun and a great way to show your personality.  For a job interview neutral nails will always going to be the most suitable look.
    • Makeup understated and suited to your colouring.  If you are not sure of what sort of makeup to wear for an interview book a consultation with your makeup artist or stylist who can show you the best foundation colours to suit your skintone.  Makeup for the professional workplace should be minimal and flattering.

    If you take the time to attend to these details and check everything off you will feel well put together and more confident about the interview .. There is just one last thing to remember before you walk out that door …

  • The Perfect Fit for Garments

    The Perfect Fit for Garments

    Do Your Garments Fit Perfectly?

    No matter whether you are dressing casually or for a special occasion it is important to ensure your clothes are the right fit for your body.  

    Here are a few tips for you to ensure each of your garments is the right fit for you.  It is always handy to have someone (or you can do it yourself) measure your body accurately so that you know the fit according to measurement charts if shopping online.  It is always good to ensure a company has a return policy when shopping online in case the garment is an incorrect fit.  Different stores and brands will also vary in label sizes so a try on session is always worthwhile if you want to ensure the fit is right.

    Your Perfect Fit Checklist

    Jackets

    • Do not pull across the shoulders
    • The lapels lie flat
    • You should be able to slide a flat hand inside your jacket under the lapels 
    • The vents do not pull open
    • The sleeves finish just on or a centimetre below your waist
    • You are able to cross your arms across your body
    • You are able to button it up without pulling
    • The jacket’s second button from the bottom should lie just above your belly-button, never below
    • With your arms at your sides, the sleeves should cover the wrist bone
    • If a jacket doesn’t fit your shape properly and flares out at the bottom part this means the jacket fit is too slim
    • Length of a suit jacket should finish just where the curve of the buttock starts to go inwards or.. where the middle of the hand is if arms are relaxed at the side.  This would be just past where the fingers start below the palm

    Shirts

    • Fit your neck properly when done up.  You should be able to fit two fingers in between the neck and the collar
    • If turning your head causes you to turn the collar also then your collar is too tight
    • Sleeves finish around 1cm below your jacket sleeve
    • Cuffs should be a bit looser than a good fitting watch and should end just where your palm starts
    • Your cuff should not move more than an inch up your wrist when you bend your arm 
    • Buttons do not gape open
    • The shoulder seam should be at your shoulder bone
    • Armhole seams should not be too tight 
    • You should be able to bend without your shirt becoming untucked
    • You should be able to put your hands behind your head comfortably
    • Sleeves on mens shirts should not be so loose that they “billow” when moving the arms

    Pants

    • Only one break at the hem
    • The pleats lie flat against your body
    • You can fit two fingers between your body and the waistband
    • Does not pull across the front creating a crease at your hips
    • Dress trousers should not be tight to the leg nor billowing they should drape the leg comfortably
    • Avoid pleats in the front as they can make you appear heavier.
    • Trousers should have a single defined crease down the center of each pant leg.
    • If you have pants with side pockets that don’t sit right – sometimes they gape when sitting it is easy to have the pockets removed.  A dressmaker or dry cleaners who offer an alteration service can do this easily.  See article on alterations This will create a smoother silhouette.
    • Length of pants is important 2.5cm off the floor if you want to show your shoe a little or or a hem that’s a 6mm off the floor for floor-skimming styles, like wide-leg trousers – again, another easy job for someone who does alterations.

    Skirts

    • You can fit two fingers at the waistband
    • The splits remain closed except when walking (for a skirt with a split)
    • The right length (not too short for modesty and suitability reasons and not too long for body shape/fashion)
    • You can sit down comfortably without risk of the skirt splitting
    • All linings are hidden
    • Hangs straight down from your behind

    Dresses

    • Not too tight
    • Does not reveal too much cleavage
    • Sleeveless dresses do not have flesh oozing from under the armhole
    • No shorter than 2.5cm above the knee

    So much of a garment’s fit and length is also to do with your personal body proportions and shape.

    During a Wardrobe Audit your Personal Stylist can help with advice on the fit of all your garments that you are not sure about.  For all Style consultations contact Moana Robinson at Beauty Glow

  • Sew Excited – Alterations Can Create a whole new Look

    Sew Excited – Alterations Can Create a whole new Look

    Take Up – Take In – Take Down – Add or Trim

    Are you going through your wardrobe and doing a spring clean?  Do you sew?  If not most dry cleaners can do minor alterations which may completely change the look of a garment.  

    I always say to women who are trying to lose weight that its so good to look and feel the best they can every single day.  How many times do you hear women say “when I get to my goal weight I will get myself something new” or “treat myself to a new outfit”.?   Alterations to a garment or outfit that is a fantastic colour and style for you mean that you can “adjust as you go”.

    There are so many alterations that can make a quite inexpensive outfit look fantastic.  Below are a few tips on how alterations can make a difference to your life and your wardrobe

    • Sometimes you can buy “off the rack” clothes  on sale .. maybe not your size and just have them altered to look amazing.  Even with the cost of alterations you can literally save hundreds of dollars by making the most of clearance sales with odd sizes left.
    • If you love a dress for its style and colour and want a really “perfect” fit sometimes it is even works to buy  a size bigger to have a dressmaker make alterations personal to  your shape.
    • If you are having denim jeans altered it does pay to have this done professionally so that they can match the stitching correctly.
    • If you are looking for a regular dressmaker or tailor give them a simple alteration to do first to see how they go for time and quality of work.  This applies especially to expensive garments.  You dont want to risk having a lovely pair of pants taken up too short in length.
    • It is definitely worthwhile spending the time to find a good dressmaker or alterations person.  Develop a good communication with them and as with most businesses if you are a loyal and good customer they will usually be very obliging if you want something altered quickly for a special event.  Communication is very important as you need to convey to them exactly what you want and ensure that you are happy with the fitting before the alterations are done.
    • When you go for the alteration fitting ensure that you wear the other garments that you would wear with the garment to be altered and the same shoes especially if it is for a hem.  This applies to undergarments as well as a different bra under a top or dress can create a different look to something especially if it is quite fitted.  If you are having a coat  or jacket altered wear the thickest layer that you may be wearing underneath it to allow for layering.
    • If you are buying an outfit in a quality department store or boutique which needs some alteration it pays to ask whether they have a recommended dressmaker or alterations person as this will be someone who is trusted by that retailer to provide good quality service.
    • I have said before when talking about wardrobe spring cleans to have your baskets or bags for Donate, Dump or Darn.  The “darn” basket to me means alter as well as repair.  A dress or skirt can go from looking dowdy or frumpy if the incorrect length to very flattering with some centimetres taken off the hem.
    • Alterations such as hems, side seams, adding darts or tucks, altering sleeves, replacing zips or fasteners can be relatively inexpensive but some fiddly alterations to jackets, coats etc can be a bit more time consuming and costly.
    • If your time is better spent elsewhere  do not feel guilty about having these alterations done even if you can sew.  Alterations can save you so much money if you take into account the cost per wear of a garment that may not have otherwise been worn much at all because it didn’t fit correctly.

    Contact Moana Robinson from Beauty Glow about a Wardrobe Audit which can sometimes surprise you with the different ideas on alterations to create a completely different look for a garment that you may love but isn’t the right fit or shape for you.

  • Using Your Colour Swatch

    Using Your Colour Swatch


    Explore and Discover Your Colour Options

    Wow what fun you can have using your colour swatch!  I recently pulled out a dress that I hadnt worn simply because I was not used to wearing those colours and kept bypassing it.   I took a good look at the dress with my colour swatch and realised Yes! it is in my colour swatch and it does look good on me – even more so with a bit of red lipstick. This neutral is a great alternative to black.  

    Do you find that you are wearing a lot of the same colour all the time?  Try exploring the colours in your swatch.  There may be colours in your colour swatch that you had not even thought of wearing Be adventurous now that you have had a colour consultation and have your colour swatch.  Remember your colour swatch is a tool and a guide that can save your hundreds of dollars. 

    Take your swatch to your wardrobe or with you to the shops and ask yourself …

    • Does the colour of the garment blend in with the swatch?
    • Is it the same level of lightness or darkness?
    • Is it warm or is it cool?
    • Is it clear or muted compared to the swatch?
    • If you fan the swatch out do all the rest of the colours in the swatch kind of “go” with the colour in the garment you are looking at?

    Your wardrobe will be so much more  versatile with the ability to mix and match if you use your swatch.  Try the following to “tweak” your wardrobe using your colour swatch

    • Try finding colours of similar  colour value and wearing them together such as a light pink with a light blue or a a medium yellow with a medium purple; or you could try putting a few of the richer colours in your swatch together   If they are in your swatch each colour will be right for you.  You can be confident of this.
    • Try putting one of your signature colours (which will be marked on your swatch) in a garment which will be worn near your face with a nice dark neutral – the darkest in your swatch as this will really highlight your face and make the signature colour stand out.

     Have fun and discover some new ideas by using your swatch.  By using YOUR colour swatch you  know that you cant go wrong.

    Contact Moana Robinson of Beauty Glow to find out your colour palette . A full Colour consultation takes 1.5 to 2 hours and you receive

    • Your personal colour swatch with your signature colours highlighted
    • Your personal booklet guide filled with information about your colours

  • One Size Fits All

    One Size Fits All

    … or Does It ?

    Have you  seen a pair of jeans that will fit a Size 6 AND a Size 16 ?

     NO …

    It is the same with styling consultations.  There is not a “One Size Fits All” recipe for looking great.  This is why a personal styling session is so important.  EACH individual person is so unique.  I am using jeans as an example because these days walking into a jeans shop to buy a pair of jeans means more than knowing your correct size.    As well as Size there is Type of jean – Rise, Cut and Colour (or type of Wash) – Here is some information for you about choosing jeans:

    Rise

    The rise is measured from the middle of the crotch seam to the top of the waistband and can create your perceived waistline

    • Low Rise – Sitting a few inches below the navel (Best for women with long legs), great for women with a “boyish” figure or straight up and down figure (“I” shape)
    • High Rise –  Sitting just above the navel (Best for Pear or “A” shaped women) For petite builds this fit also accentuates the waits and elongates the legs, good for women with bigger hips
    • Mid Rise – Sitting just below the navel (Good for women with long legs) also good for women with bigger hips

    Cut or Style

    • Skinny Jean – Suits most shapes apart from Apple or “O” shapes
    • Bootcut Jean – Probably the most flattering cut for everyone, depending on the shoe you are wearing. designed to kick out at the bottom and are quite fitted at the top
    • Flared Jeans – Flattering on round or “O” shapes (however they will shorten your legs)
    • Straight Leg Jeans – Look good on most body shapes; and then there are the …
    • Boyfriend Jeans – usually quite loose and look best on “boyish” or straight figures or round “O” shape figures

    Wash

    Dark Denim – Will look good on everyone, especially women with thick thighs and this is the denim (sometimes called the “Rinse”) which makes the legs look longest also

    Stone wash, Distressed and Vintage Washes can add bulk visually to heavier women and there is even “whiskering” detail on jeans which can draw attention to areas of the body such as thighs.  Then there is where the pockets are placed, detail or lack of detail, topstiching colour … many, many variables which is why …

    As in jeans shopping your Colour and Style consultation is going to be especially for YOU.  No two people are identical.

    Moana Robinson from Beauty Glow takes pride in the fact that she loves to focus on you as an individual and although the process for each consultation is similar the advice given will be personal to YOU.  Contact Beauty Glow for a session that is a fit especially for YOU.
