Stop biting your Finger Nails

Nail biting is a habit that is not easy to quit. It often is a reflection of extreme nervousness, inability to handle stressful situations or boredom. I am (or was !) a nail biter myself. I have broken this bad habit 3 months ago through simply applying nail polish or nail hardener on a regular basis. No day passes by without nail polish or hardener ! Result: I can wear my lovely big rings again because I can show off my nails now !



What is the 2012 Summer Fashion Trend?

What is the 2012 summer trend?

This is a message to all women out there ready for the summer but unsure of the latest fashion trends.

When I moved from oversees (Belgium) to Cleveland (Ohio) more than 2 years ago I was overwhelmed by all the different clothing stores. This country is a real paradise for apparel shoppers ! During my first couple of months living in Cleveland I drove from store to store and found great deals on apparel everywhere. It seems like we have never-ending sales going on here. Especially “JC Penney” and “Kohl’s” they are the real “sales” kings at least in my opinion. The first six months of life in the US made me feel like a kid in a candy store: So many choices, don’t know what to pick and on top of that clothes are so cheap here in comparison to Europe (if you go to the right stores).

Want a sexy look?

For a sexy look, you only need 2 items (ask a man):

1. Red lipstick, red is the best color which makes your lips attractive. Not a fan of true red, use a matte red. Varieties include blue-reds which are suitable for darker skin tones and orange-red for olive skin tones.

2. Wear a pair of sunglasses. You’ll generate mystery. Combine these two and you’ll look sexy…

I tried this out. I hardly ever wear lipstick but I thought I would like to see if it really works. On a sunny Saturday morning I leave the house wearing my big pair of sunglasses and a shiny red color on my lips. I hardly left the house and men in their cars were looking at me as I never noticed before. Neighbors who were not really friendly before greeted me with a very friendly “Good morning”. I could not believe my eyes nor ears. This trick is really working. So for the ladies who like to attract male attention, this is the way to go. Good luck and share your experience.
