Buy Clothing That Flatters
Filed Under Blog, Fashion, Well Being | 2 Comments
Have you subscribed to Self’s One Month Makeover yet? One of today’s tips really stuck me, it’s something I actually did yesterday and I felt great! I bought a top at Target from the new Alice Temperley collection, my first new gray item for Fall’s gray trend. It’s one of those tops that makes you feel so good, you don’t want to take it off. When I got home I was so inspired by the way I felt in the shirt that I promptly went to my wardrobe, pulled out a top that makes me feel dumpy and horrible, threw it in the trash and hung the new shirt in its place. A new confidence filled me and I felt ready to take on the world. Let the new Fall season be your excuse to fill your wardrobe with clothes that make you feel amazing and flatter you.
Pick up something that makes you feel pretty right now, even if you’re not happy with your size. When you get home, toss one item from your closet that doesn’t fit. Every time you shop, repeat the buy-purge process until you’ve built a new wardrobe that shows off your body as it is. If you feel sexier, you’ll walk sexier, act sexier and exude body confidence—which is, well, sexy.

The Sea Spray for matte waves
My favorite product in “step three” of the ghd regime is the Fat Hair Lotion
The one thing that you must know about ghd is that every single one of their products is designed to be activated by heat. So if you are one of those redheads that washes your hair in cold water or you use hair dryers as little as possible to avoid heat damage, these are not the products for you. But if you love your hot showers, use a hair dryer and metal round brush religiously and can’t be separated from your favorite heat styling tool then you will love ghd’s line of styling products. Everything you need for a good hair day.

Reach Your Fitness Goal

What’s your goal for the next month? Loose 8 pounds in four weeks, Walk your way to fitness, Tone up all over, or Run without huffing and puffing? No matter what your goal, Self Magazine has a free online plan to support you!
As I shared with you last month I am creating the body of my dreams. I started with walking a mile every day and eating a healthy diet. What I found is that I have to walk every morning, first thing. If I wait until later in the morning or during the day I will never get to my walk, there are just to many things going on. I also found that walking with a workout partner is key, it holds me accountable and it’s much more fun.
What I started to notice is that watching what I eat in my very hectic day was a little difficult. It takes planning, paying attention and avoiding cravings, all of which was proving difficult to adhere to. So when I ran across Self’s Reach Your Goal Plan my interest was immediately peaked. Best of all it seemed like fun, something that had been previously missing in my plan for my dream body and which I’m finding is pertinent to keeping myself committed to anything.
You start of by picking one of four goals, which you can make a series for achieving the body and level of fitness you want. The goals as I mentioned above are: Drop 8 pounds in one month, Walk your way fit, Tone up all over, or Run without huffing and puffing. Pick the one you want and you’ve just created your own fitness coach and accountability partner!
What I love about this program is that it gives you so many options, it’s easy and it’s free. There are great meal plans to choose from with all the calories already counted for you, just tailor them to your health and diet needs and add them to your grocery list. The workouts section has all the cardio and strength plans planned out for you with several options and you can download the video or the MP3, whatever works for your life.
What I have found most useful with this program are the food diary and the workout log! These tools are really helping me reach my goals. With the workout log you can record a workout from one of the predesignated routines or from a list of general exercises, all with the amount of calories burned already tallied. The food diary works similarly, letting you enter the designed meal plan or your own meals. It even has a search option to find the amount of calories in typical food items!
These logs have been indispensable, I can see my progress and I am thinking about and visualizing my goals every day. Now when I’m in a hurry and I end up in front of a snack machine I think, which would I rather enter into my food diary, the snickers bar or the protein bar?
The most important thing to remember is, if you have a day when you did not eat the way you wanted or you missed your workout, don’t put yourself down for it. Instead just let the program tell you where you are and give yourself credit for what you did accomplish that day. If you don’t know where you are you will never be able to get to where you want to be.
So have fun, pick a goal and make yourself over! Start looking great in all those gorgeous fall styles, four weeks of walking and I guarantee you’ll love the way you look in that Calvin Klein pencil skirt and those leggings tucked into your favorite fall boots!
