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.

—————————————————————————————-

You can get a Color 1, Smart Chart from the Wardrobe Wizard, Nancy Goldblatt.  Nancy is now able to do virtual color analysis on-line.

If you live in Baltimore, Maryland, or surrounding areas she can work with you in person.  If you live other places, she can work with you on-line using digital pictures.

New Year, New Goals:give 2010 a name

January 22, 2010 by Nancy Goldblatt Leave a Comment

If you could put your new year resolutions into words what would you call 2010?

I have named this year  “My year for a better Body, and a better Blog .” I got the idea after listening to a free webinar by Brenda Kinsel ,   Image Consultant.  She has an excellent free e-newsletter and she has written a number of books.  40 over 40 was her first book.  www.brendakinsel.com/

It’s been about four weeks since I started my new exercise program. Unfortunately I injured my back last week and missed several sessions but I returned this last Friday and plan to continue.  The research study I am in involves nutrition and exercise.   Its called “The Shape Up,” study.   I am writing down everything I eat and counting calories.  It helps to write down what I eat, but its a chore.   I am exercising 3 days a week, with 45 minutes of cardio and about 15 minutes of weight training.  I believe Johns Hopkins Hospital Bayview, Baltimore, Md., is is still looking for participants for this 6 month study.  You have to be pre-diabetic or diabetic and no older than 65 and in fairly good health.   I got into the study because I am considered pre-diabetic.  If you are in Baltimore or surrounding areas you can call Meredith at 410-550-6997 to find out if you are eligible for the 6 month study.

The Hopkins Nutritionist, Sarah told me  in order to lose weight I can only eat 1,000 calories on non-exercise days and 1,300 on the days I exercise. When I heard this I asked myself,  “How will I be able to do this beyond this 6 month study”?   I felt discouraged at the thought.  Then it occured to me that once I have built more muscle that perhaps I will be able to eat a few more calories, because muscle burns more calories than fat.

I gained about 3 pounds the 2nd week of the program. According to my scale I have now lost 4 pounds based on my starting weight which I am currently not willing to reveal.

Please feel free to comment and share.  What will you call 2010?

The Wardrobe Wizard of Baltimore” has a Gift for You: A List of 7 of my favorite things –

December 25, 2009 by Nancy Goldblatt Leave a Comment

My gift to you for the New Year  is a list of 7 of my favorite things.  These are products or resources that I use to keep myself healthy and looking good.   ( I am not being compensated in any way for recommending these products and resources.)

1. Life Extension Foundation: www.lef.org/ publishes a magazine with great articles on vitamins and supplements and they sell supplements and have an extensive online website with articles and a discussion forum.  It costs $75 to become a member and qualify for member only discounts on blood tests and supplements.  You don’t have to be a member to subscribe to their informative magazine (cost is $12 a year) that has easy to understand articles.   Latest magazine has articles on “How To Combat Influenza Infection,” “How Vitamin C Protects The Skin,”  “Tea Promotes Weight Loss in Over Weight Individuals,”  and more.  Their excellent website and discussion forum are free.

2. Your Prescription For Health is a business based in Owings Mills, Md run by holistic pharmacists Brian Sanderoff and Raymond Hinish.  They have a radio program on  680 am every Sunday morning from 10-12 noon, eastern standard time.  If you do not live in the area you can listen on the web and or they podcast their show.  Brian and Ray work with Dr. William Pawluk, a conventionally trained Dr. who now works as a complementary Dr.  They frequently have guest experts on the show and you can also call in with questions. Your prescription for health discounts their supplements and vitamins and shipping is free if you spend $100 or more.  Their website is www.IllnessIsoptional.com/ The website has articles and protocols for various problems.  I believe Dr. Hinish also sends out a free e-newsletter to subscribers.

3. X-Clear saline nasal spray  contains xylitol. In addition to keeping your mucous membranes moist,  it prevents nasal congestion and extensive research says the xylitol in the product prevents bacteria and germs from making you sick.  Find more about it at: www.Xclear.com/

4.  I am now taking 5000 mg of vitamin d3 for my immune system.  (Get it at your local vitamin store, its not expensive)   I learned about the importance of D3 first from listening to “Your Prescription for Health.”  Since I learned about it about a year ago,I have encountered many articles about the importance of vitamin D3.

5..  I originally began taking Magnesium Citrate for muscle tension.   I have discovered its also good  to prevent constipation and since its a natural muscle relaxant it helps decrease anxiety.   I take a powder product called MagnaCalm that I get from Your Prescription for Health.   There are lots of different Magnesium products available.

6.  My newest favorite television show is “The Dr. Oz Show.” Dr. Oz is a heart surgeon who was discovered by Oprah. He makes learning about health fun.   I have recently learned how high blood pressure can cause kidney disease and I now  know what “healthy poop looks like.”    He has the “No embarrassment Zone,” where audience members can ask any medical question.  He also has a “Truth Tube,” where people can discover their “real age,” based on their body measurements, weight and life style.   Watching his show has inspired me to begin a regular exercise program.

7. Dr. Daniel Amen is another Dr. who makes learning fun. He is a neuropsychiatrist who has been studying the brain and taking pictures of the brain for over 20 years.  He has written about 6 or 7 books and his newest book “Change Your Brain, Change Your Body,’ will be out in February 2010.  I originally discovered Dr. Amen on PBS.   “Change Your Brain, Change Your Life,” “Your Miraculous Brain,” and “The Brain In Love,” periodically get re shown on PBS.  They are also now on DVD.  He now sells his many books, dvd’s and cd’s on his website.  His website also has lots of free articles and tests.  The latest free tests are ADD and subtypes of ADD. (In addition to being “The Wardrobe Wizard,” I am a psychotherapist)    In my psychotherapy practice I have been using his materials to help me better diagnose and treat my clients.  His main website is www.amenclinics.com/ You can also go to www.brainspace.com to see before and after treatment  pictures of brains with different problems.  Subscribe to his free newsletter, you will learn lots of great information about taking care of your brain. What is good for the brain, is good for the rest of you.

My wish for each of you is a  “healthy and happy,” 2010.

What are some of your favorite things that help you to be your most beautiful inside and out?  Please share with others your favorite things in the comments section of this blog.
