Styling this winter with Leather....

Hello winter lilies..... 

Winter is chilling all of us and its time to take care and look stylish this season. Bestest way to dress up this winter is to invest in a good leather product.

Leather products are usually expensive because of their quality, durability and appeal. However, I like to recommend leather products for those exact reasons. Leather products, although pricey at first, pay themselves off because of how long they last. Once you buy leather products, you’ll find you won’t have to replace them as often compared to non-leather products. Anyways, here’s a list of recommended leather products you should own.

1. Leather Jacket

A must for leather products is a leather jacket! Not only do leather jackets look boss but they usually last years and insulate from the cold. With that being said, they are definitely worth the investment. Plus, leather jackets can be dressed up or dressed down and are perfect for when you’re feeling edgy.

2. Leather Boots

Today, it’s hard to find quality shoes at reasonable prices. Plus, some shoes that do cost a leg and an arm also have quality issues. However, boots made out of genuine leather don’t fall apart as easily. In addition, leather boots can withstand a lot of wear and tear, making them another great investment for your fall and winter wardrobe.

3. Leather Purse

Nothing says luxury like a leather purse! Women definitely use and abuse their purses by throwing them around, toting them around in the worst weather conditions and filling them up past their holding capacity. However, leather bags can withstand a lot more tough love than fabric or polyurethane bags.

4. Leather Wallet

What goes with a leather purse better than a leather wallet? Wallets also endure their fair share of hardship. They hold a frenzy of cards, old receipts, and occasionally wrappers. However, with a quality leather wallet you won’t have to worry about overusing your wallet.

5. Leather Couch

Over time, leather becomes softer, making it the ideal fabric for a couch. Plus, today leather can be treated so it repels stains, making it even more suitable if you’re a messy eater, throw get-togethers often, or if you have young children. Finally, leather is durable and always in style, so replacing your couch every few years won’t be necessary.

6. Leather Car Interior

One of the ways to increase the value of your car is by installing a leather interior. However, a better reason for having leather seats is they are easier to clean and maintain. Plus, after a while fabric seats fade from sunlight and begin to smell if they are not taken care of properly. Most importantly, leather seats are perfect if you have an animal that sheds since you only need to wipe the seats clean, whereas fabric seats require vacuuming and spraying with harsh chemicals.

7. Leather Gloves

Leather gloves are the ultimate winter accessory. I prefer leather gloves to any other type of glove because leather gloves have a sleeker, chic look, whereas fabric gloves can look juvenile and winter gloves are bulky. Another reason why I prefer leather gloves is because of their durability – fabric gloves usually need to be replaced every winter, sometimes even more than once during the same winter. In addition, winter gloves start to fray or get holes in them. Finally, I recommend leather gloves because you can wear them to work as well as to dinner after work!

I love leather products because I know I’m buying something of quality and prestige. Plus, leather products are timeless and classic, so it’s never out of style or tacky to be seen around with leather. What are some of your favourite leather products?

Boosting your metabolism through Yoga

Most people think of yoga as a stress reliever, but did you know that there are certain yoga poses to boost your metabolism too? That's right: there are certain yoga poses that are great for increasing your metabolism, helping you burn more calories throughout the day. Along with its relaxation and mood calming benefits, yoga can be a great weight loss tool as well. Try any of these 7 yoga poses to boost your metabolism today!

1. Forward Fold

All yoga poses to boost your metabolism have a few things in common and one of those certainly occurs in forward fold: anytime your heart is lifted or lowered above or beneath your head, your thyroid gland is stimulated. Your thyroid gland is actually the gland located in your throat that regulates your hormones. Since your head drops beneath your heart in forward fold, your metabolism is stimulated and starts burning like a well oiled machine!

2. Shoulder Stand

Shoulder stand provides a great stretch for your upper neck and back. In shoulder stand you also have to use your core muscles to hold your ankles directly over your shoulders. While it might be difficult to get into this pose as a beginner, by slowly working into this inversion, you will be doing wonders for your metabolism!

3. Plow Pose

Similar to shoulder stand, plow is an awesome inversion for boosting your metabolism. Since your heart is lifted above your head and your feet are dropping on the floor behind you, core and muscular strength are required for holding this pose. This is a great pose for improving circulation and for thyroid stimulation.

4. Bridge Pose

Bridge pose is my favorite pose for a full body inversion. With your hips pushed toward the sky, your chest and shoulders slowly open up. Again, since your heart is lifted above your head, your thyroid is being stimulated, waking up your metabolism. This is my favorite pose to work on muscular strength in my lower back. Love handles, no more!

5. Bow Pose

Bow pose is a great pose for opening up your chest and stretching out your back. This pose requires the use of not only your back muscles but your upper and lower body too, therefore, it increases your heart rate and metabolism too. I love this pose because it leaves you feeling open, strong and confident to face the challenges of the day!

6. Boat Pose

Boat pose is a great pose for strengthening your abdominal muscles, hip flexors and back muscles. This pose opens up your chest and elongates your neck, stimulating your thyroid gland, and thus metabolism, yet again - a little bit differently than the rest of the poses. Since this pose requires the use of so many different muscles, your heart rate will get a boost increase too!

7. Twisted Chair Pose

Twisted chair requires that you use not only balance but flexibility too. By twisting your entire upper body over your lower body, your internal organs are stimulated, wakening your digestive system. This pose requires the use of every muscle in your body, increasing your heart rate and boosting your metabolism.

As you can see, yoga does so much more than just relax you after a long day. Along with a healthy diet and regular exercise, consistent yoga practice is a great way to boost your metabolism and stay fit, healthy and happy! Have you ever thought of yoga as a weight loss tool? Will you now? I sure hope so! 

Stay beautiful....

Tips for keeping your nail paint last longer....

If you are wondering how to make nail polish stay on longer, then this is the article for you! Nobody wants to do their nails if they are going to have to deal with chips and dullness the very next day. They want to enjoy their beautiful nails! I’ve got seven little secrets to keep your nails looking just as glossy and gorgeous as they did the day you painted them. These are the secrets you have been searching for all that time you were wondering how to make nail polish stay on longer.

1. Clean Beforehand

Make sure you do all your heavy house cleaning before you do your nails! Your nails should be able to handle doing some dishes, but scrubbing bathtubs can wreak havoc on the best manicure. Take the time to get all of your heavy duty chores done before you do your nails. If you want to know how to make nail polish stay on longer, it all starts with doing your deeper cleaning chores beforehand.

2. Choose a Quality Polish

You cannot possibly expect your nail polish to be long lasting if you go to the dollar rack to purchase it. Every now and then you can get lucky, but I have always got my best results from purchasing a quality polish. A quality polish that is designed to give long lasting color is going to make my favorites list in a hurry. Don’t feel you have to rush out to the nearest nail salon; drugstores now carry some awesome brands. If you are unsure if a brand will give you quality results, read some reviews online.

3. Give Your Nails Two Coats

One coat of nail polish is too thin to have staying power and three coats gets you into layering, which isn’t pretty. Two coats is the perfect balance for your nail polish. Painting your nails with two coats also assures you that you won’t have a cheap see-through look to your manicure. Give your nails one coat and wait two minutes for the second. This is the rule of twos: two coats, two minutes apart.

4. Finish with a Top Coat

A top coat is an absolute must if you want your nail polish to last. A lot of women skip this step because they don’t recognize the importance of it. A top coat locks in your color, gives a protective shield to your nail polish and adds a shiny gloss that we all covet for our nails. Just like with your nail color, you want to purchase a quality brand. Also, don’t make the mistake of buying a clear nail polish and thinking it can double as a top coat; it can’t.

5. Give Your Nails a Chilly Dip

Most dings we get on our nails occur in the hour right after we paint them, when our nail polish is tacky and easily damaged. Dipping your nails in a cold bowl of water will help the nail polish harden and prevent this from happening. You want to wait until your nails are tacky for this step. This won’t benefit completely wet nails. A dip in some cold water can shave hours off of that time you must be overly cautious with your nails.

6. Watch The Exposure

You know, our nails are exposed to a lot of different things each day that we never think of. You might use products such as an exfoliating body wash, makeup or hair products. All of those products can scuff or dull your nail polish. You can still use all of those when your nails are done, but do so carefully. One trick I use is put the hand not holding the hairspray can behind my back so it doesn’t catch the excess spray.

7. Guard Your Nails Carefully

Nails are not tools. Sometimes, we are tempted to think that they are because they are so convenient to use, and they work. We often use our nails to pry things open or apart when there is another perfectly good way to accomplish the task. Take the time to retrieve a tool or ask someone else to help you. If you take care of your nail polish then you will be rewarded with a long lasting manicure that will be the envy of all your friends.

Manicures are the finishing touch to make you look totally put together. A manicure lets others know that you value yourself and want look your best, but is no good if your nail polish doesn’t last. What are some tips you have to keep your polish looking awesome and freshly painted?

Tiger print nail art...

Hello fashionistas..... Yet another nail art treat this time.... Animal print...They have always been stylish and are classics.....

The tiger print or snake skin or crocodile design have always been in vogue and a fashion seekers delight... So have incorporated it in nail design as well with this stylish art.

Paint the base with neon pink tones on all nails exept the ring finger....( here we would be making the tiger effect)

Paint the ring finger with a nude or any light shade. I recomend a golden glitter since its the most classy tone and goes well in all occasions and all dress types

Design with the same glittering gold in the pink nails as shown

To design the tiger make pink spots randomly with brush and then black spots around pink ones like shown below to get the same effect of tiger skin..

Secure the design for long by applying a transparent nail paint to avoid chipping off soon.

Here you get your awesome designer animal print nails to flaunt in this winter... It goes well with the day working and night party mood... 

So whats your style for this winter... For more such nail art mail us your opinions and ideas for any special design nails....

Stay Stylish.....
