[Guest Post]: How to find Good Fitting Shoes

Hi Beauites!

We have got another very helpful Guest Post here. Ashley gives us seven highly useful tips to find the best fitting shoes.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Taking Your Shoes in Stride

Walking around in uncomfortable shoes is no picnic. Shoes that simply look good but don't offer proper foot support will eventually cause foot problems, such as heel pain, bunions, deformed toes, nerve damage, swollen ankles, knee pain, and even spine and posture issues. The ideal shoe should compliment the structure of your feet to absorb the shock of walking on various surfaces, whether you are casually walking or doing a strenuous exercise routine. The following tips will help you find the right fitting shoes from flats to heels.

Seven Tips to Find the Right Fitting Shoes

1. Support over Fashion

Focus on proper foot support over fashion. Look for trendy casual and athletic footwear that are specifically designed for arch support and shock absorption for casual walking and for fitness from local stores or online websites.

2. Look around before buying

Take your time shopping for shoes. In other words, don't grab and purchase the first pair of shoes you like just because they're in your size, and their fashionable. Try on several pairs of shoes first and walk around in them for awhile before making a final decision on the pair you want. A shoe salesman can help fit you with an accurate sized shoe, making sure that their is the right amount of toe room for you to feel comfortable and that hugs your heel in such a way that they will not slip up and down when you begin to walk.

3. Make sure your shoes fit

Do not buy tight shoes, assuming that they'll stretch to fit later. If the shoes you try on in the store are too tight on the sides, hurt, or makes your toes feel crammed at the top of the shoes, don't buy them.

4. Find flexible shoes

Find shoes that are flexible. Shoes are really an extension of your foot and should compliment the motion of your foot as you walk. If you can't bend your shoes from the toe or from the heel end with your hand, you should look for another pair. Shoes also need proper cushioning, as this will serve you well especially when walking on uneven or hard surfaces.

5. Afternoon shopping

Because feet have a natural tendency to swell, buy your shoes late in the afternoon. You'll have a better chance of getting a more accurate fit than trying shoes on early in the morning. Try shoes on your dominant foot. The dominant foot is normally larger than the other.

Wearing Shoes With Extra Height- 2 tips just for the ladies!

Wearing heels causes the foot to assume an unnatural position both with standing and with walking. Therefore, women who prefer to wear wedges or heels should take the following things into consideration:

1) Women wearing high-heeled shoes of any height should not wear them for more than three hours a day, although wearing a low-heeled shoe is always a better choice if you just must wear heels instead of stilettos. Because stilettos have an extreme high, narrow heel, it does not offer any support to the middle part of the foot. Wearing heels frequently, especially of this height, will eventually shorten the tendon of the Achilles, which will cause heel pain.

2) Wedges have a major advantage over the average high heel shoe because the heel runs the entire length of the sole of the shoe. This provides the right amount of support for the entire part of the foot and cushions the arch in a more natural position.

The key to choosing any type of footwear is to try your shoes on and allow for swelling or irregularities with shoe size, and comfort level to come into play when buying your next pair!

[Guest Post]: 6 Tips on finding the best-priced Purse

Hi Beauties!

We have another guest post here by Daniella Weston who shares her 6 best tips on finding a purse with the best price.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With summer on the horizon, it’s a great time to get a new purse. However, purses, like everything else, can be really expensive. Instead of sacrificing quality for price, here are some ways to get the bag you want at a price that you can really appreciate.

1.Promotional codes

There are several tips that a person can use to find the best priced purse. The first tip is to look for discount codes when you are shopping for the purse online. This is one of the best ways that a person can assure that they are not going to have to pay the full price on the purse. All a person has to do is put the promotional code into the blank white box. Most of the time, a person is going to be able to find a promotional code that is going to save them from 10 to 40 percent on the purse.

2. Outlet Shops

The second tip is to take a trip out to the outlet shops. A person is going to be able to find a lot of great deal at the outlet because this is where the big brand purse shops send the purses that they cannot sell. One of the most popular purse outlets is Coach. The reason this one is so popular is because the shop will ship the purses as little as three months after they have been in the store. A person is going to be able to save about 15 to 75 percent on the purses at the outlet.

3. Sample Sales

The third tip is to find out where there are sample sales on the purse stores that you like. Most of the time, a store is going to have a sample sale on their purses about twice a year. During these sample sales, there are going to be tables and tables of purses that are going to be marked down to at 20 percent. These purses are on sale because the store ordered too many of them or the purses might have a little defect on them. A defect could be something as small as some scratches. The more defects that the purse has, the bigger discount a person is going to get.

4. Designer Discount stores

The fourth tip is to go to a designer discount store. These designer discount stores include stores like T.J. Maxx and Marshall's. These stores are going to carry a lot of purses that have been overstocked or last season. Therefore, a person might not be able to get the exact color that they were looking for in the purse, but the savings is going to be well worth it. The best way to get the best purses that you want is to find out when the store gets all of its new shipments. You should also try to make sure that you shop at the store on that day, or soon after.

5. Shop on Ebay

The fifth tip is to look for used name brand purses on Ebay. The best way to do this is to type "authentic" in the search bar and the name brand that you are looking for. Then, a person is going to need to look for purses that are going to be sold during a weird time of night like two in the morning. A person is going to be able to find a way better deal on the purse that they are looking for because there is going to be less competition for that purse.

6. Join email lists

The sixth tip is to join the email lists of all of the online purse stores that you frequently like to shop at. This is so that you will know when the store is having any sales or promotions going on within the stores, or online. Plus, a person is probably going to get access to certain sales or promotional codes from the top designer purse brands that might only exist to the people who are apart of the email list.

[Guest Post]: Do you feel beautiful?

Hi Beauties!

 

This is a guest post courtesy of Your Guide to Plastic Surgery.

If you do not feel beautiful, consider a plastic surgery procedure to enhance those areas of the body that you are not pleased with, or to trim excess fat from those problem areas. Plastic surgery can improve your appearance and provide you with an emotional boost at the same time.

Physical Effects of Plastic Surgery

Plastic surgery is a great option for those who have had an issue with their body over many years. For example, if you are not happy with the size or shape of your nose, rhinoplasty can reshape and contour your nose more to your liking. If you have always thought that your ears stick out too far, having your ears pinned to make them appear more sleek and sexy is always an option. If, no matter how much weight you lose on a diet, your thighs never seem to shrink, liposuction may be just the procedure for you.

Some common cosmetic procedures include:

* Breast Augmentation
* Rhinoplasty (nose job)
* Lip Enhancement (Botox is often used)
* Face Lift
* Chin Implants
* Brow Lift
* Tummy Tuck
* Liposuction
* Butt Lift
* Lap Band

Some less common cosmetic procedures might include:

* Buttocks Implants
* Calf Implants
* Breast Reduction
* Gynecomastia (Male breast reduction)

In most cases, the problems that you identify with your appearance may be improved with a cosmetic procedure. Cosmetic procedures make individuals appearance more to their liking resulting in more self confidence and a better perception of their bodies.

Cosmetic Surgery is for Men and Women

Plastic surgery procedures may be performed for both men and women. Certain common procedures decrease the signs of aging, reduce visible wrinkles and correct body issues that interfere with an individual’s ability to be the best they can be. If an individual has been self-conscious about a certain body issue over a long period of time, plastic surgery can rid them of the issue, giving them a whole new outlook on life.

Though more women opt for cosmetic procedures, plastic surgery is gaining in popularity for men as well. As men age, “jowls” begin to appear around the jawline. “Love handles” may appear around the waist line. Other issues may provide observers with tell-tale signs of a man’s true age. Plastic surgery can easily correct such issues, allow a man to look and feel younger and sexier.

Plastic Surgery for Physical Health

Some surgeries, such as Lap Band procedures, may actually enhance the patient’s health. Lap Band surgery installs a band around the stomach, limiting the size of the stomach. The individual gets full on a smaller amount of food at meals and, as a result, they lose weight. Lap Band surgery is an option for individuals who have dieted unsuccessfully in the past, and for those who may be morbidly obese. Many individuals have had Lap Band surgery for weight loss, and have subsequently lost the weight they have tried for years to lose. Lap Band surgery is highly successful and results from the surgery are astounding.

Plastic Surgery for Emotional Health

Plastic surgery will enhance an individual’s self-esteem and boost their confidence. More confidence and self-esteem causes the individual to experience a greater sense of well-being. Many recipients of plastic surgery report that their procedure changed their lives. You can visit this website to watch one woman’s recovery from breast augmentation surgery.

Plastic Surgery Risks and Complications

Anesthesia

All surgeries carry with them a certain level of risk. First and foremost, there is a risk of being anesthetized. For a small percentage of people, anesthesia presents greater risks than with the general population. Anesthesia risks increase with age. Heart problems may also increase risks of anesthesia. Discuss your personal risks that you may encounter while under general anesthesia.

Blood Loss

Many surgeries carry with them a risk of blood loss. If excessive blood loss occurs during surgery, the surgeon and anesthesiologist are alerted by a drop in blood pressure.

Infection

Surgery risks include infection. As with any surgery, there is a small risk of infection - actually less than 1%. Antibiotics are used to decrease the risk of infection during and after surgery.

Asymmetry

A fairly uncommon risk with cosmetic surgeries is asymmetry. Asymmetry is where one side of the body is not perfectly matched with the other. For example, in a breast augmentation, one breast may appear larger or smaller than the other. Usually, a second surgery is required to correct this condition.

Seroma

Seroma is a condition where fluid collects at or around the surgery site. Seroma may occur with liposuction, tummy tucks or breast augmentations. Seroma may be alleviated by your physician.

Though cosmetic surgery does carry some risk, the benefits far outweigh the risks. For better mental, emotional and physical health, cosmetic surgery provides many benefits for individuals who want to look better and feel better about themselves.
