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....
