Yoga

Yoga is such a good easy way to align your body and clear your mind. First start with meditation, just simply sit cross legged and focus on your breathing. Take four seconds to inhale and four seconds to exhale. Try to clear your mind of everything, only think about your breathing. Do this for 5 minutes. The key to yoga is to really focus on your breathing. Here are some positions that help with certain emotions and to feel better during the day. Start out with what is comfortable for you, work up to the full flexibility of these poses.

Anxiety: try staying in each pose for 5 deep inhales and exhales.

Dress your body type right

There are many different body types, and too many people don't dress to their figure because they don't know how. But I have some tips that can make your figure look great and make you feel confident.

• Busty figure; you are busty but have a small waist.
• These are the most flattering tops for your figure; fitted v-neck or scoop neck but not too tight, tops that nip or taper your waist slightly, fitted sweaters but again not too tight, halter tops, and for coats try to get princess cut, or classic trench.
• Try to avoid ruffles and embroidery around the bust because it draws more attention to that area!
• The bottom half; a-line or pencil skirts, boot cut jeans and jeans that sit lower on the waist, a little bit of flare is also good but not too much.

• Full and curvy; tops that are open at the decollete area, dressy and belted blouses that accentuate the waist, single-breasted jackets and belted trenches are the best for outerwear.
•  Slightly tapered pencil skirts that end at the knee, and pencil skirts give that 50's bombshell feel. Pants with no pockets are the most flattering.
• Pair a belt with your dress, or choose a wrap dress they draw attention to the waist. Try to choose heavier fabrics verses thin, flimsy fabric.
• Stay away from skirts that gather at the waist, and big patterned prints.

Pear shape; scoop neck or boat necks, button-up blouses, and detailed tops because they balance the pear shaped figure. Don't wear shirts that hit right at the waist. For bottoms; knee length a-line skirts with flared hems, low-rise and boot cut pants. No cuffed or gathered pants, and be careful with skinny jeans. For dresses, an empire waist with a-line skirt or knee length. Do not wear full or clingy dresses.
. Tall and thin; halters or cap sleeves, blouses with ribbing or shirring, jackets with a nipped waist or ruffled blouse accentuate a desired waist, princess cut and double breasted jackets work best. Pleated, flared hems, poof and pegged skirts are flattering. Skinny jeans are made for you! Bias cut dresses, and dresses with a lot of detail above or around the waist add femininity. Stay away from v-necks, baggy pants, and tight knit dresses.

Petite; blouses that go just past the waist, v-neck and scoop neck, fitted blazers, double breasted and princess cut jackets. Skirts with hemlines just about the knee, a-line skirts, low-rise boot cut pants. For dresses, v-neck lines, empire waists, sheaths, and details on the bust line. Avoid over sized shirts and loud prints, long skirts, wide pants, and long and blousy dresses

New Year's Wardrobe Resolutions

It is time to start your resolutions for 2012. How about make one of them have to do with your wardrobe. Here is one idea; clean out your closet! Go through every item of clothing in your closet, if you haven't worn something in 6 months and it's that piece of clothing that you put on many times in the morning but always end up hanging back up then throw it out. Your never going to wear it! I am the biggest culprit of doing this. Those items just take up room in your closet, donate the stuff your throwing out or try to sell it again to a consignment store. Also a way to save money, don't just buy an item because it is on sale. All of us buy things just because their on sale, and it's usually not our color or it doesn't fit our body. This is an attainable goal, try it!
