Nothing to Wear Panic When You Are Getting Ready to Go Out

March 31, 2014 by Nancy Goldblatt Leave a Comment

What happens when you get invited to a special event?

After you get all “dolled up,” do you look in the mirror and realize you look awful?

  • Does your outfit cling to your body revealing every bulge?

  • Do you look tired, old or washed out?

  • Maybe you don’t know what’s wrong.

But you feel, you look bad.

If you leave your home looking like this, everyone will think, 

              “That poor woman, is over the hill.”

Will they

        Feel sorry for you…

        Talk about you…

                  or

         Avoid you…

You say to yourself…

 “I must find something else to wear.”

  • You go to your closet and begin desperately searching.

  • Before you know it, you have pulled out more than half the clothes in your closet.

  • Clothes are piled everywhere and now you are running late.

  • Still you haven’t found the right outfit to wear.

Your heart starts beating faster and you are perspiring profusely as your panic builds.

  • If you have straight hair it’s hanging limp and wet.

  • If you have curly hair, it has frizzed up into a wild mass, from perspiration.

Your carefully made up face, is now red and blotchy and your makeup has melted away.

You are a wild woman, as you vainly pull more and more pieces of clothing out of your closet and drawers.

The friend waiting for you outside in the car has begun to impatiently honk the horn.

Or the phone is ringing and the hostess is asking,

   “What’s going on, why aren’t you here yet?”

You are in fight or flight mode and can’t talk.

You think to yourself,

   ”I  must find something to wear fast.”

Do you put on that original outfit again and force yourself to leave the house?

Will you hide in a corner, hoping others don’t notice that you are looking fat or frumpy?

Because this has happened before, you know you will be miserable, if you don’t find something to wear that makes you look and feel good.

Do you give up in disgust and call the hostess and say,

  “I’m too sick to attend.”

Now you really do feel sick, as your heart beats faster, panic is racing through your body and you can’t stop perspiring.

Maybe your problem isn’t a special event

Maybe it’s facing your closet everyday.

Do you dread trying to find something to wear to work?

Because

  • You have gained weight.

  • Your shape has changed.

  • Your “old faithfuls,” are threadbare.

  • Or you have a closet stuffed with separates but nothing matches.

Is there something you can do to avoid all of this?

You can call in sick, and hide out while you exercise like crazy, lose a few pounds and then spend lots of money on new clothes.

Even with exercise, weight loss, and new clothes, you will face the same problem, if you don’t learn what colors and styles really flatter you.

You can’t depend on the fashion industry for accurate information on how to choose flattering clothes and accessories.

They are not in the business of teaching you how to understand your unique style.

They want to sell you the latest clothes and accessories.

There is a solution

You can learn to be your own Personal Image Consultant.

Imagine…

  • Having a closet full of mix and match clothes that all look great on you.

Imagine… 

  • Going shopping and knowing what to buy and what to avoid.

This won’t take thousands of dollars or years to do.

You don’t even have to wait till you lose weight to start looking and feeling better.

And you don’t have to buy a whole new wardrobe of clothes.

You can learn to shop your closet and use what you already have. 

Are you ready to learn to be your own “Image Consultant,” and say goodbye to the panic of “Nothing to Wear”?

Healthy Lips, How to Protect and Flatter those Big or Small Lips You Inherited

January 10, 2013 by Nancy Goldblatt Leave a Comment

I inherited big lips from my paternal grandmother’s side of the family.  What size lips did you  inherit? 

Nancy, age 13 with her big lips

When I was growing up, thin (sophisticated lips) were in style.  I had many conversations with my younger sister, Suzi, who also inherited those big lips.

Suzi and I came up with a plan.  When we grew up, we would get lip surgery to make our lips thinner.

We did not know lips naturally lose volume as we age.

I am now grateful for my big lips.  They aren’t as full as they once were, but I no longer feel they are too big.

Whatever the size of your lips, the skin on your lips is quite thin and vulnerable to sun, heat, wind and cold damage.   In addition, if don’t drink enough water, drink carbonated drinks, or take medication that is dehydrating, your lips can end up looking dry and wrinkled.

Think of your lips as a barometer of your stomachs health.  When they are dried out it mean your stomach does not have enough hydration.

How can you care for your lips, so they stay beautiful besides drinking lots of water and avoiding caffeine?

Here is a link to “Sun Protection Tips to Help Prevent Skin Cancer,” from Dr. Brandith Irwin, Cosmetic Dermatologist.  These Tips can apply to our lips as well as our skin

http://madisonskin.com/skin-cancer/sun-protection-tips.html

Whether you have big or little lips, the right shade of lipstick or colored lip gloss with a spf sunscreen rating can not only protect your lips but help you to look healthy and vibrant.

Just because a lipstick color is being promoted by the fashion industry,  does not mean it will be flattering to you.

How can you find out which lipstick colors really flatter your unique coloring?

Choose a lipstick a shade or two darker than the inside of your lower lip.

To discover additional flattering lipstick shades get a  Color 1, Smart Chart done.  Besides 40 to 50 of your best clothing and makeup colors, a Color 1, Smart Chart will contain at least 3 of your best lipstick colors and as many as 12 of your best lipstick shades.

What Accelerates Skin Aging, Besides Smoking and Sunlight ?

April 5, 2012 by Nancy Goldblatt 1 Comment

 

Nancy Goldblatt, Wardrobe Wizard

It’s common knowledge that smoking and sunlight can accelerate the aging of your skin.

What most people do not know is that something else can also accelerate how fast your skin ages.  Wonder what it is?…

It’s what you eat and drink.

While some foods and beverages accelerate how fast skin ages, other foods can help skin stay radiant and unwrinkled.

I discovered this information when I read the, Dr. Jonathan V. Wright newsletter, Nutrition & Healing.  Dr. Wright is a well known integrative physician who is head of the Tahoma Clinic, in Seattle, Washington.

I found the following lists of foods and beverages in Dr Jonathan V. Wright’s, November 2011 issue of Nutrition & Healing.

Dr. Wright got this information from The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.  

 

If you want healthy, wrinkle-free skin, well into old age, forget about expensive anti-wrinkle creams.  Instead  avoid the following foods and beverages.

===============================

Avoid These Foods & Beverages

soft drinks

sugar sweetened fruit

cakes

pastries

potatoes

sugar

milk

 ======================================================

To keep your skin looking great

                    foods that prevent accelerated aging of the skin :

beans

spinach

eggplant

asparagus

celery

nuts

olives

cherries


 apples

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    

prunes

pears

unsweetened yogurt

eggs

tea

pure water
