Shopping Scandal

Ahhhh summer....lovely and cheery! And sunny! And because it's sunny and lovely we go out to the beach, do more sports and stay outside longer. Hence the need for a good sunscreen. It's also a chance to learn that the sun is there even in the cold days of winter, in the light reflected by snow and that sunscreens should be a part of our beauty and health routines all year long! The question is...what is a good sunscreen? Consumer Reports just published the ratings for the best sunscreens are and I'm giving you a list of the top 7 sunscreens below! It is no news that excessive exposure to sunlight is a double-edged sword.  While we need it to keep our circadian rhythms (that which tells you it's time to sleep and time to wake up) and vitamin D, it definitely is a risk factor for skin cancers of all types including the aggressive melanoma. It also promotes the development of ugly looking solar keratosis and skin dark spots and speeds up skin aging. Remember that

It's summer...it's time to make a splash! I've read a lot of articles about how to choose the best swimsuit for your body recently, as I was looking for one for myself. In the end, I bought one that theoretically is not the best for me, but I love it and I feel so happy in it that I don't care what the articles say! And that's the most important thing about choosing a swimsuit: feel wonderful in it! But there's something important for everybody: do buy 1 size smaller than you think you'ld need. Swimsuits tend to stretch after they get wet once! This is true for the atheletes, the curvy ones and the plus size ladies. The swimsuit that fit you perfectly the first time, may be too big next day at the beach. Here are 7 tips for choosing the right swimsuit for your body: 1. High cut and high waist will make your legs look longer. 2. Long vertical lines to make you look slimmer, particularly if the print has alternating dark and light lines. 3. Skirted s

It's summer..it's hot...and you have a date tonight! What to wear? Unless you know that you're going to a formal cocktail or a symphonic orchestra concert, or you're going to meet the Ambassador of some country, you need something casual, beautiful, relaxed, oh so feminine.. aaaand flattering!  Those are the clothes that will set the mood for conversation and getting closer if it's right! Slip dresses are perfect for a night casual look. You can compliment it with a linen long blouse or cardigan over it, pumps and accessories to match. A single color for the clothes, shoes and accessories is the classy way to go. Lighter colors, particularly white, will keep you cool on a summer night...but who doesn't love a black dress?! Longer dresses are more romantic and elegant, and shorter is sassier...that's your decision! Men will love red, but it may be too forward if it's your first date...but, hey...who's counting?! More colorful looks are great too,

I think you will love these! They're casual, comfortable and sexy at the same time and they are "in"! Informal, happy, airy, girly and gorgeous...just what we want ! Heels have a greater reputation for sexiness than flat shoes, but I think these are the exception! Besides, when you're comfortable and relaxed, you are sexier! Feing more comfortable, you will remain in a better mood and more active throughout the day. The fact that your skin and nails are exposed to the air is another health advantage, because you are less likely to get nail fungus! Flat is natural, so you can expect these shoes to be kinder to your back, knees, hips and legs. But hey! no need to focus on health...these flats are just plain gorgeous! I've included here some gladiator sandals...also known as Roman sandals...which are a latest fashion  trend but not the only one! Beaded, frilly, golden, leather, synthetic, leather, suede, colorful, solid color...some more dressy than others ...t
