Hot Fashion Trends For Spring 2012

 

While we are still way into the middle of winter, bundled up in the thickest and warmest of coats, we may be thinking about the warmth and colorful promise of spring. As we are ushered into the new year, so are the upcoming fashion trends. Here are some of the hot fashion trends for spring of 2012.

HOT FASHION TRENDS FOR SPRING 2012

1. Geometric Color Blocking

Color blocking has been really famous in 2011, and it's still going strong in 2012. However, we see a new twist into this trend by using different geometric patterns that make your outfits look more playful.

2. Print Overload

Prints will definitely make your outfit more interesting. Try mixing your solid colored clothes with printed pieces in order to give a more youthful and girly appearance. Remember that bigger prints make you look bigger. If you are a bit shorter in the height department (like me!), or a bit on the heavier side, going for more subtle prints is a safer alternative. If you are a bit adventurous with your style, then you can still experiment with different prints and textures.

Body Parts Modeling

What is body parts modeling?

Body parts modeling is just like ordinary modeling, but instead of using your face to do the work, you use your other body parts to do the work. This is a pretty fun way to get modeling jobs, as all you need is a part of your body that looks good enough to model. For example, if your hand is smooth and clear, you can easily get that hand to get a job for print ads. If you'd like to get started as this type of model, it's very possible to do so, and all you need is a good agency.

Getting started

When getting started in this type of modeling, you want to join or be a part of an agency that works specifically with body parts modeling. Instead of going to an ordinary modeling agency, you may not get the right job in the end. So, it's good to be a bit extra careful when finding an agency. If you already know a few, try asking them if they can supply for you boost part modeling jobs. This will help you yield go sees for those wonderful body parts of yours. First, try to identify what it is that you think is most attractive about your body -: legs, feet, muscles, hands, ears, toes, knees. By knowing what looks the best, you can look for an agency that will help you to get the most jobs possible.

Hypnosis and Childbirth

 

Hypnosis is a state that we all go into very easily. For example, when reading a book, or a watching a movie, even driving the car. Have you ever arrived at your destination not realising how you got there? Your brain waves have gone into relaxation.

Relaxation/hypnosis is important for giving birth. When you are giving birth, being able to go to your place of focused relaxation instantly, would be very helpful wouldn't it.

First tip; think about what you know about childbirth, this maybe your own experience or someone else's experience. What do you believe?

We develop mindsets. Through hypnosis you can change your own personal mind set.

Think about how you would like the birthing experience to be. Every detail; for example; the music, where you want to give birth, babies clothes, who you want with you, and how you want to feel.

Every women births in her own unique way. Some do this quickly without much discomfort, others take longer. There are no hard and fast rules.

Good Girl Friends

 

This past weekend my amazing girlfriends took me out for a Fab Housewife Brunch Birthday celebration. We dined at the most appropriate venue for such a theme, Villa Blanca, owned by the fabulous Lisa Vanderpump of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. We sipped sangria and mimosas, along with delicious food and dessert. A few of the girls even put together a Fab Housewife gift basket for me, featuring pink items like pink wine and saki, beauty products and the cutest, coziest slippers I've ever seen. Everything was just so lovely, and a perfect prelude to the Thanksgiving week. The afternoon really got me thinking about how thankful I am for all the women in my life, family and friends, new and old, here in L.A., and in other cities across the country.

One of the most important things in a woman's life are her girlfriends. No question. But it's kind of a catch-22 because, as many of us have discovered, finding a good girlfriend can be just as daunting as finding a husband. The cattiness, competitiveness and jealousy that so often occurs in female relationships can be just exhausting. But I think the old saying "nothing in this world worth having comes easy," remains true in this instance. Good girlfriends definitely aren't a dime a dozen; they're priceless.

How To Look Feminine

Looking feminine is not always something that comes naturally to all women. For some women, looking and acting feminine and womanly comes without much effort. Others have to work on it a bit more. Many women don't even give themselves a chance, and don't even bother putting effort into their appearance. To them, looking feminine is a challenge, and they'd rather just wear t-shirts, sneakers, and no makeup. But looking womanly is not hard. All you need is a few pointers in the right direction. Below are some fashion tips that you can incorporate into your wardrobe in order to look more feminine.

•     Get a manicure and pedicure: When you have pretty toes and nails, you automatically feel more dainty and feminine. You start to naturally move your hands in different ways than when your nails are chipped and unpolished. You can paint your nails yourself, but getting a professional manicure and pedicure comes out much nicer and neater. If you have light skin, dark colors are a great contrast to your skin tone and look great. Try different shades of red, burgundy and pink. Dark colors look good with red also, but your skin tone also looks good with pale pink colors. And no matter what color skin tone you have, a beautiful French manicure always looks classy, elegant and feminine. You can go to a drug store for good nail polish, but if you want more unique colors and better quality, go to a place like Sephora, or anywhere that sells OPI brand nail polish.

Bloating And Weight Gain Solutions

Have you felt bloated, shortness of breath, sharp stomach pains during the Holidays? How many pounds have you gained this X-Mas? Do you think your bloating is caused by overeating? Or have you felt bloated for a long time?

Abdominal bloating is a sensation of feeling uncomfortably full. It is estimated that close to 25% of the USA population deal with bloating on a regular basis.

The combination of swallowed air and fluid in the abdomen creates a swirling sensation in the bowels that leads to bloating.

Bloating is seen more often in woman.

Experts consider excessive eating the major cause of bloating. Swallowed air while eating may lead to bloating after a meal.

Don't mistake bloating pain with heart pain. Sometimes bloating pain may be mistaken for heart pain when the pain is in the upper left side of the chest. Other times, the sharp pain may be confused with appendix or the gall bladder.

How Technology Shapes Women's Body Image

I believe that advances in technology is the primary causal factor that contributes to modern day women's obsession with body image that correlates with eating disorders, anorexia, and bulimia. Sociologist William Ogburn (1922, 1964) coined the term cultural lag to describe the imbalance between technological progress and the norms, values, and traditional beliefs that a particular group of people hold that unites a society. Non-material culture is the intangible things such as morals, ethics and how people feel about something. Material culture is objects that are tangible that we can touch such as cell phone, computers, mirrors, art, and television for example. Simply stated we first create the material object before we create the rules on how we will manipulate or use the object that is ethically fair to society in general.

For example, we created the car before traffic laws, driver's license and age limits. Scientist created birth control methods that conflict with some religious beliefs and traditional family values. When scientist created birth control, they probably were not contemplating the pro life and pro choice debate. When humans first create the material objects such as the Internet, weapons of mass destruction and cosmetic surgery most likely they did not or could not take into consideration how these material and technological advances would impact the values, norms, morals and beliefs that would lag behind their material inventions.
