Fashion tips for Men

When you step out of the house, your clothes advertise much about you. Along with your face and hair, your clothing is one of the first things people will notice and they will judge you quickly on first impressions. When you are at work and about town, it is important to present a confident and capable appearance.
One would think that today's modern man would have good fashion sense already locked away in his brain, but one good look around will tell you differently. Every day, men are committing fashion suicide and this could be costing them at job interviews, meetings with the in-laws, or trying to get that all important phone number from Heather. Don't be that man. Follow these simple rules:

1. Pay attention to the shoes you wear. You could have the most amazing outfit, but totally ruin it with dirty or mismatched sneakers.
2. Wear clothes that actually fit you. It's not only stupid to walk around holding your pants up, but it looks trashy too.
3. Why do all of the work to keep good hygiene, then blow it by wearing dirty or poorly-pressed clothes? Wash your clothes on a regular basis and iron them if they're wrinkly.
4. Dress in colors that are flattering to your skin tone. If you have fair skin, it's safe to say you shouldn't be dressing in all black unless you're going for a gothic look.
5. Eye color can play a big role in what you choose to wear everyday. If you have blue eyes, you should try wearing blue and green more often to highlight one of your best features.
6. If you have pets that shed, keep a lint roller on hand so that your clothes don't look like they are growing fur.
7. Don't use undershirts as everyday outerwear. Undershirts are not to be worn alone because they instantly give off the wrong impression if worn in the wrong way.
8. Wear socks that match your pants: Black pants = black socks. Brown pants = brown socks.
9. Socks are relatively cheap and inexpensive. So why are people walking around with holes in their socks!? Case in point, only wear socks that are hole-free.
10. Never wear socks with sandals. This is a cardinal sin of fashion!
11. In warmer months, wear light colors in cotton fabrics because they absorb less heat, and will minimize your sweat stains.
12. Sometimes men put the perfect outfit together only to ruin it with the wrong winter coat. So it's important to find at least one good coat that goes well with your clothes.
13. If you don't own an iron, or just don't like to iron, grab your clothes from the dryer as soon as they are done, and fold them right away. Wrinkles aren't attractive!

Men Hair care..

Hair care is important for men just like it is important for women. Today it is a growing concern among the men to keep their hair healthy and stylish. Healthy hair is internally strong and nourished hair. To keep the hair in a good condition there are certain things you need to do. It doesn't take a lot of time to maintain good hair but certainly it needs discipline to keep the hair healthy and stylish.
So here are some hair care tips for men….

1. Next time you're in the barber's chair, ask for a hot oil treatment. Your hair will be shiny and pleasant to touch when you're done!
2. If your hair is starting to thin out on top and on the sides, use the appropriate products like Rogaine to maintain the hair that you do have.
3. Sometimes hair re-growth products just don't cut it, and you lose your hair anyways. When this happens, hair transplants are your best option for restoring hair.
4. Few guys can pull off the shaggy, unkept hairstyle. Keeping this thought in mind, get your hair cut whenever it starts growing over your ears or turning into a mullet in the back.
5. While using conditioner might seem like a good alternative when you're out of shampoo, it will actually make your hair look even greasier than not washing. So don't ever substitute conditioner for shampoo.
6. Comb your hair! Even if you have short hair, it can look messy and unkept. Keep your hair from looking messy by running a comb through it after a shower.
7. Sometimes your hair sticks up all over the place; to tame the strays, use a little hair spray and pat them back down.
8. Choosing a shampoo that doesn't leave a residue is essential. Shampoo residue clogs pores on the head, which can lead to scalp irritation or even acne.
9. While you're picking the perfect shampoo, look for a product that removes DHT (dyhydotestosterone). DHT causes hair to fall out by restricting blood flow to hair follicles, and will eventually leave you bald.
10. Another important subject regarding shampoo is dandruff, or skin cells shedding on your scalp. If you've got a dandruff problem, you may have to switch to prescription strength shampoo.
11. Despite what shampoo commercials suggest, never shampoo more than once a day. Shampoo strips your hair of essential oils, so over-shampooing can cause your hair to be dry and damaged.
12. Even if you stick to shampooing once a day, it's still a good idea to use conditioner. Conditioners moisturize, strengthen and repair your hair.
13. If you happen to run out of shaving cream, you can always use some peanut butter to shave. Just remember to hold the jelly!
14. If you're completely bald on top, just shave your head. It will look classy, and ten times better than being bald with a few patches of hair does.
15. Don't be afraid to change your hair style. Most guys go and get the same hair cut year after year. Ask your stylist for a new and more current style to look fresh and interesting.
16. If you have noticed your hair getting gray, use some hair dye to liven it up. A professional could easily do this for you if you're afraid of messing something up.
17. Even those who aren't going gray can benefit from hair dye since it can provide a sexy, new look. Do some research on hair dyes by looking at reviews, and choose one that will give you the desired look.
18. Use hair products. The kind you choose doesn't normally matter as long as you're using something like gel, pomade, or even moose.
19. Keep those hair care products off of your hairline! Leaving gel or mouse on your skin can lead to pimples.

Shaving, Skin Care..

Shaving is the most typical start to a man's day. Getting a good shave involve skin's sensitivity- how the skin reacts to razors and shaving products. The following tips will help not only get the shaving you crave, but also leave your skin looking and feeling its best.

1. There is something mysteriously intriguing about a man with a five o'clock shadow, but for some men, it's more like a five o'clock disaster. If your hair grows back in a weird way or is different colors, try to maintain your facial hair by keeping a clean-shaven face.
2. Don't be afraid to use concealer to hide any imperfections on your face - it's not like you're using lipstick, eye shadow, or blush. Everyone gets pimples, and everyone wants to hide them.
3. Start using moisturizer every day to maintain healthy skin. Men and woman both get wrinkles, so there is no reason not to take care of aging skin.
4. Start using facial cleansers for your face instead of using the soap you use on the rest of your body. You'll have healthier skin as well as fewer breakouts.
5. Having bags under your eyes is a sign of not getting enough rest, so get a full 8 hours of sleep to look fresh and bright in the morning.
6. If you still have those irritating bags under your eyes, dab a little Preparation H under them. It works like magic!
7. When you're going to be exposed to the sun, wear sunglasses. Sunglasses prevent you from squinting, and potentially causing more wrinkles on your face.
8. If you're bold, you can wear a subtle oil-free foundation or translucent powder to keep the oil off of your face.
9. When you are shaving your face, use a razor with a moisturizing strip so that you are less likely to have irritated skin when finished.
10. While you want to keep the hair on your head growing, it's preferable to keep hair from growing out of your nose. Use a specialized trimmer to keep your nose hair at bay.
11. Your eyebrows are two separate patches of hair, and you should keep them apart by tweezing regularly. Just remember, unibrows are only attractive on dogs.
12. Trim your eyebrows if they are big and bushy. Sometimes all you need to do is use a small pair of scissors to trim them down a little.
13. While blackheads might be harder to notice than acne, they're still noticeable close-up. So use nose strips to rid yourself of unsightly blackheads.
14. Since you're already using the trimmer, you might as well trim your ear hair in the process.
15. The old saying, "Never stick anything bigger than your elbow in your ear," is completely wrong! Clean the wax out of your ears with a q-tip every few days.
16. Eye cream moisturizers are great for reducing fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes. When applying eye cream, make sure to use your ring finger because it's the weakest, and too much pressure causes more wrinkles.
17. Get the blue eyes you've always wanted with colored contact lenses. Contacts have become some of the best accessories to this day, so don't be ashamed to use them!
18. Eye liner is becoming very popular in the male community, and it's not considered gay anymore! Just a little liner can make your eyes pop.
19. Using toner is a good way to rejuvenate your skin, and keep it oil-free. It comes in spray form, so all you need to do is spray a little on your clean face.
20. If clean-shaven isn't your look, at least maintain your beard or goatee. Before trimming it, use conditioner to soften the hair, dry it off, then begin trimming.
21. After shaving, sometimes you'll develop razor irritation - a.k.a. ingrown hair - that looks like acne. Obviously you want to prevent ingrown hairs, so be sure to shave with the hair instead of against it.
22. In addition to shaving with your hair, you should also avoid using dull blades and take it slow when shaving so to prevent irritation or bleeding.
23. Staying on the subject of sensitive skin, avoid products with lots of alcohol because they can cause even more irritation than not shaving correctly.
24. In your haste to rush through shaving, sometimes you might miss a spot or two and not even notice it. Always do a thorough check after shaving, and/or keep a razor in the car to pick up missed spots.
25. If you notice a few pimples starting to present themselves on your face, grab some toothpaste and dab a little on top of the new pimple to dry it out. Don't forget to wash it off before you leave the house though!

Five Weight Loss Ideas

Here’s Five Weight Loss Ideas for Stay-at-Home Moms


If you’re a work-at-home or a stay-at-home mom, you probably already know by now the pros and cons of taking on such a task.  On the positive side, you get to watch your kids grow and be with them whenever they need you while you’re earning a real living at the same time if you’re working at home.
The downside, however, is that you need to learn how to juggle tasks like picking up the kids, meeting deadlines and doing a bit of the housework that you like

to do all at the same time.
Another disadvantage for stay-at-home moms – whether they’re working at home or not – is trying to shed off those excess pounds. It’s difficult enough to lose weight after having kids.  How much more difficult will it be to reach your ideal body weight if you don’t have that active, corporate office lifestyle?

5 Weight Loss Ideas for Stay-at-Home Moms

The key is to reserve some time for yourself so that you can work off those excess pounds, even while you’re in the comfort of your own home.
Take a look at these five tips on how stay-at-home moms can stay fit:

1.  Try to burn calories with your daily activities.

It’s really pretty difficult to squeeze in some real workout time, much less go to the gym, if you’re a stay-at-home mom.  But that doesn’t mean that you can scrimp on the physical activities that will let you burn calories.
Basically, you need to be creative in thinking of ways on how you can burn calories with your daily activities.  Why not do some brisk walking when running errands to the grocery store? Running up and down the stairs, or even doing some step-ups in while watching television will add up to calories lost at the end of the day.

2. Grab the opportunity to have a short but intense workout session when your schedule permits you to do so.

If you find yourself not having to deal with anything out of the blue, grab the opportunity to squeeze in a short but intense workout.  You can finally put to good use all the fancy home exercise equipment that you bought.  If you don’t have them, a simple series of squats, lunges or intense aerobics will do.

3. Try to have as balanced a diet as you can get.

The best way to accomplish this is by stocking up on healthy goodies on your refrigerator. If you get hungry after typing away on your laptop for four hours, take a break and munch on something healthy.


It’s better not to skip on breakfast because you will burn the calories off throughout the day. Also, don’t deprive yourself on food initially but gorge on lunch or dinner anyway.

Eating small meals and snacks five or six times a day is a much better way to burn off those calories and it will complement perfectly your at-home exercise routine.

4. Always plan ahead.

If you’re not a stickler for exercise, you can go on a calorie-watching diet instead. Go online and use one of those websites which allow you to track your food and calorie consumption. This way, you’ll get to watch what you are eating so that you can reach your weight goals a lot faster.
On the other hand, if you do enjoy the physical exertion of exercise, make sure to always plan ahead and set realistic goals for yourself. One good idea is to follow an online program. There are a lot of online weight loss programs available, but you need to make sure you are following the top one.

5. Enjoy the fact that you have the opportunity to be a stay-at-home mom!

Finally, losing weight and being a stay-at-home mom is all a matter of mindset. Celebrate the fact that you do have that privilege of watching your kids grow and being with them when they need you – as compared to all the working moms who are out in the corporate world who hardly get to spend any quality time with their kids.
Losing weight should be an enjoyable challenge that you should overcome – and try to reward yourself for every accomplishment that you have. At the end of the day, losing weight as a stay-at-home mom is all a matter of having a positive mindset about it.
So try to eat right, squeeze in some workout time in between juggling household chores – and just enjoy the process of losing weight!
