Dressing for Success - Deciphering the Dress Code

Company dress codes are rarely written down in the professional world. While it's common sense not to wear flip-flops and board shorts to the office (unless you would for a surfboard company), the rest is left for you to decipher.

You can mirror what your coworkers wear as a benchmark, which will fall into one of three business dress codes (you should also have a personal dress code).

Corporate

Corporate dress codes call for suits, ties and pressed shirts. Dockers and polo shirts will not cut it in these type of environments (think investment banking and law firms). The typical uniform is a nice suit with a crisp white dress shirt and a quality tie, preferably made of silk. You don't have to stick to a white shirt, though. Play around with classic pinstripes and white French cuffs.

Bold ties add personality to white shirts. Wide-knot neckties are the "it" men's accessory right now (in addition to the status watch); they create a sophisticated look that's polished and confident. Pocket squares have made a comeback-wear one that matches your tie and no one will forget you.

Diane Gottsman, founder of the Protocol School of Texas, recommends Egyptian cotton solid white dress shirt, shirts in solid, icy, almost white, colors, shirts with stripes on a white background or go for the tone on tone look-you can't go wrong!

Business Casual

The business casual dress code is the hardest to de-code. It's almost as if management is testing you to see how well you interpret the dress "code". And this very well may be the case. Always remember that you're a professional and so an eye towards professionalism is mandated every morning when you pick out what the wear.

Even if you don't meet clients face-to-face, wearing pressed, clean and neat clothes shows your colleagues that you are competent and worthy of taking on additional challenges (and getting those well-deserved promotions). Khakis and polo shirts may be acceptable, but make sure they're up-to-date, made of durable, high-quality materials and ironed. Wrinkled clothes, even in minor cases, sends a message that you're disheveled and disorganized.

Business Appropriate

Business appropriate is one of those newer terms that breeds even more confusion that the business casual dress code. Understanding the business appropriate dress code requires a thorough understanding of the corporate culture. A polo shirt and sportcoat may be perfectly acceptable at some companies, while at others, a business appropriate dress code could mandate a suit, but without the tie. It's all about what is appropriate for your company and industry.

If you're preparing for an interview or just starting out with a new company and don't know the dress code, you can make assumptions based on the industry. For financial industries and legal offices, you can count on the dress code being formal. To be sure, call human resources and ask for general guidelines.

Efficiency of Cushy Lips Lip Plumper

As a topical treatment for plumping the lips, Cushy Lips has gained a good reputation among the adepts of lip collagen injections. The product targets women dissatisfied with the size of their lips who consider that a fuller mouth will increase sex appeal and boost self confidence. Before getting into details about the working mechanisms behind this lip plumper we need to stress out the fact that the rules of mother nature cannot be broken all the time.

The way Cushy Lips works

A product for topical use, Cushy Lips stimulates the blood flow in the lip vessels thus triggering their swelling and the volume increase of the lips. Menthol and camphor are the two main ingredients responsible for this reaction which also leads to an accentuation of the tissue redness by the higher amount of blood that reaches the mouth area.

Another attribute of the Cushy Lips treatment is the high moisturizing capacity of the product resulting from the presence of the almond and Castor oil in the composition. So far so good, but how long does it take before one could see results? The producer claims that there will be an increase in the lips volume within one or two months depending on the tissues ability to absorb the nutrients.

The main objection to Cushy Lips under the circumstances is the lack of permanence when it comes to results. Although the producer claims that the lips remain plump an sexy, the truth is that the blood vessels cannot stay dilated indefinitely, not to mention that the small amount of stimulants cannot trigger serious anatomical changes in terms of lip morphology.

The Cushy Lips down side

Expecting Cushy Lips to work miracles on thin lips is both far-fetched and highly unrealistic. Not even collagen injections can create permanent results, so what can one ask from a semi-cosmetic treatment? Maybe a certain roundness or fullness of the lips is obvious, but we are talking about a local and temporary effect achieved by the stimulation of the tissues through intense active ingredients.

Consequently, studies cannot conclude that products like Cushy Lips will operate major changes on one's look. They are limited by their structure and therefore trigger reactions according to these limitations. Do not take any of the above as a negative review of the product, as it is only a realistic approach of what one should or should not expect from Cushy Lips or other similar products.

Balancing Family and Work

You strive to be a good parent, to be available for your children when they need you. And you try to spend an adequate amount of time with them. You also enjoy your work and strive to be a productive, well-regarded employee (not to mention that your family needs the money). You know you must maintain some sort of balance between your work life and family life, even though at times this seems an impossible task.

Over the last ten years, the working world has changed. Women and men now have more options in how, when and where they work. Lets explore some of these work options. Maybe one of them can better your current work-family situation.

FULL-TIME EMPLOYMENT

Full-time employment used to mean working eight hours a day for five days per week. Full-time employment now includes any work over 32 hours per week, no matter how many days it is divided over, or where the location of the employment is.

One newer type of full-time employment is flextime. According to HR Magazine, the magazine of the Society for Human Resource Management, flextime allows employees to take advantage of a range of starting and ending times for the workday. Some companies give employees the option of starting anywhere from 6:30 a.m. until 10:30 a.m. and of leaving eight and one half-hours later. Often with flextime there is a rule that all workers must be present between a core group of hours, such as 10 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.

Another full-time work option is the compressed workweek, which HR Magazine defines as allowing employees to condense their work week into fewer days. This is often done in what is called a 4-10 configuration of four 10-hour days each week; another common compression scheme is the 5-4/9 (nine 9-hour days over the course of ten work days.
The third non-traditional full-time work arrangement is telecommuting, which HR Magazine describes as employees working at home or some other decentralized location during part or all of their scheduled hours. New technologies have made telecommuting a popular option for companies and employees, though some occupations will never permit telecommuting.

PART-TIME WORK

If full-time work seems to take too much time away from your family, perhaps you are considering part-time employment. Once again, there are many options.

One type of part-time employment is permanent part-time, which HR Magazine defines as steady part-time employment, usually for a set number and configuration of hours each week, usually under 30 hours. Permanent part-time may mean working five days a week for six hours or less a day, or may mean working two or three full (8-hour) days a week.

Another type of part-time employment is job sharing, which HR Magazine defines as an option that allows two people to share the responsibilities of one full-time position. This option is often available when a company wishes to keep a valued employee who seeks reduced hours but holds a job requiring full-time coverage. For professionals, job sharing can be an attractive work option for keeping on the career track while spending more time with family or pursuing more education. But to get job sharing to be a positive experience for the company and the job-sharing employees, both people need excellent communications skills and a teamwork attitude.

The two other types of part-time work include contract workers and phased or partial retirement. Contract workers are hired either full or part time on a temporary or as needed basis, either for a particular project or during a rush season. Local department stores hire seasonal, part-time employees, especially during the winter holiday season.

Phased or partial retirement part-time is when an employee about to retire cuts back his or her hours to part-time. When retirement is phased, the hours are reduced according to a formula over a set period of time. Partial retirement, on the other hand, resembles permanent part-time employment, according to HR Magazine. Both partial and phased retirement can start out as job shares, with a former full-time employee training the job sharer to possibly eventually take over the position.

When thinking about your employment situation, keep these thoughts in mind:

More time at home doesnt necessarily mean your kids will spend more time with you.

Only you know what amounts to an adequate balance between home and work.

There is no right amount of time to spend with your children, beyond some quality time each day, where you continue to get to know each other and enjoy each others companywhere you learn together.

Only you know if your children need more time with you, and if you can afford to live on less money.

So the next time the baby pulls on your pantyhose, think of your options and then exercise what is most appropriate for you.

Color Contact Lenses - Are They Safe?

Do you want to find out how you would look with blue, green or amethyst eyes? But you have heard that color contact lenses might cause problems? Here we will discuss how color contacts can affect the health of your eyes, and give you simple tips to follow so your color lenses never give you any troubles.

There are two main reasons why color contacts cause your eye problems, and both are easily avoidable. The first cause is buying color contacts of inferior quality without a doctors prescription; and the second is not caring properly for your color lenses.

Sometimes you see color contacts for sale in beauty salons and even in flea markets! You should never buy your lenses in these places. Color contacts arent fashion jewelry: most paints are very toxic, so the lenses should be properly manufactured, to avoid direct contact between the paint and the sensitive surface of your eye. Most color lenses sold without a doctors prescription fail to meet these requirements. They might look good and cost less than brand-name color contacts, but they are really dangerous for your eyes.

Since the second common cause of eye infections from wearing color lenses is not caring for them properly, you should always follow your doctors instructions about caring for your lenses.

Color contact lenses safety rules

If you follow these simple rules, your lenses will be no threat to the health of your eyes.

1. Obtain an eye doctors prescription before ordering your color contacts. Even if you dont need vision correction, you need an eye doctor to select the lenses that would be best for you

2. It is cheaper to order your color contacts online than buying them from your doctor, but make sure that you order from a reputable contact lens retailer

3. Dont wear your color contacts continuously for too long. Most color contacts block the flow of oxygen to your eyes. This is usually not a problem, though, if you wear your lenses only for 8-9 hours at a stretch, but any longer than that could cause problems.

4. Never sleep wearing your lenses - this is the most dangerous thing you can do, in terms of eye health. If your eyes dont receive enough oxygen for days on end, then you are sure to suffer inflammation of the corneas. Some color contacts, like Acuvue 2 Colors, are FDA approved to wear for up to 7 days straight. However, many eye doctors agree that it is better not to risk your eyes even with the best quality color contacts

5. Dont swim or shower wearing your color lenses. Firstly, it is very easy to lose a lens in the water. Secondly, whenever water gets into your eyes it creates favorable conditions for bacteria, putting you at risk of infection

6. Make sure you clean your lenses properly, and always keep your contacts in soft contact lens solution. You shouldnt rub your color contacts while cleaning them, because it may damage the color. So it is best to use a no-rub multipurpose solution.

7. Never share your color contacts with other people. It might be very tempting to exchange color lenses with a friend but, unfortunately, it is a sure way to pick up an eye infection.

Color contact lenses are fun. As the saying goes, The eyes are the mirror of the soul, and it is amazing how much different eye colors can transform your appearance. Caring for your color lenses isnt hard work - people who wear color contacts every day report that it takes them less than a minute to clean the lenses and put them in - so you should always follow the safety rules. If you do, then color contact lenses will bring you only joy, with no troubles.

How to Get the Shoes Through the Internet

Did you ever try to get shoes from the web site, rather than simply look at them for a few hours? I have many questions and doubts. Believe me when I say that having enough money is not everything that you need.

The first few times I was afraid, I can waste my money on what I ultimately did not have sympathy or at worst, I could not have been able to wear. Eventually, after ordering a few pairs at several web stores, I learned to pay more attention when it comes to certain things.

You should know that only when searching for images on the web store seller always look better than the actual thing, so you should not only rely on the images, but instead of searching to make sure as many blogs as distinctive shoes, you might to find and try to find a pair you would like to buy, as well as reading that others who have received or wore these boots are thinking about them, you'll know if they will be as great as they look. It is important that you know you're buying. From another point of view, it does not hurt you to read the information that people posted on the site of the seller, but you will probably find only a few examples.

Once you have gathered all the information can be found, and saw many pictures of the distinctive angles, you need to search the Web store, which is near where you live, and has a good price ranges. When I say "almost", I am doing this meant that way, simply because you will avoid the payment of customs duties, which in the worst case, can cost you half as much as shoes.

Thus, you do not want to be shocked at the additional cost. Not to mention that some Web sites offer free shipping if you live in the same country. For example Amazon.us will be under certain conditions, which usually involve you get AA Several couples at the same time, the ship, you make free and you get it in less than AA few days. There is one thing that you should be very careful, especially if you get the shoes from other countries, is a measure of the system that they use - we do not want to buy fewer pairs of shoes! Look around as the Web There are a few Web pages that can transform you, this you know.

After the first time you're shopping on the Internet, if you really get your shoes, I am confident that you will feel great about buying through the Internet, and perhaps enjoy a lot more than walking for several hours, and is looking for a new pair of shoes!

How Do I Get Cigarette Smell Out of a Mattress?

Do you have a mattress that is full of cigarette smell? Wondering how to remove cigarette odors from mattresses?

Here are a few handy tips to help you remove that smoky stench and keep your mattress fresh.

First, get hold of a vacuum cleaner. Start by sucking the dust and other particles in the mattress. You will want to make sure that isn't any unwanted materials in your mattress. You can try enzyme cleaners products available in the market. These cleaning products are able to remove stains found on your mattress and it has been proven effective to break down any particles.

To remove cigarette odor, you should apply the solution only one section at a time. Go through the entire mattress subsequently. In addition, you should clean your mattress more often and regularly, at least 2 to 3 times per week, as a one-time cleaning may not be effective enough to remove the odor entirely.

If you got the budget, you can engage a mattress cleaning company to remove those odors. With the cleaning tools at their disposal, the mattress can be "washed" and become almost a new buy to you. And of course, the smell will be minimal or even totally removed after their washing routines.

Beside the above, there are other methods you can try but they may not be as effective. Some people have tried to use some vinegar and hot water to wash away the smell in their mattress. A few others have resorted to baking soda or using citrus fabric deodorizers. Alternatively, you can use the most primitive method of drying the mattress out in the sun to remove the germs and smell.

Little Black Dress of Yesterday is Your Best Chic Choice For Tomorrow

Little Black Dress is One of life's greatest quests. Every woman looks and feels spectacular in it, using it as the go-to item in her closet for when she has "nothing to wear". The little black dress has been a fashion institution since the 1920's, when Coco Chanel created and introduced the first one. Chanel wanted to instill comfort with sophistication, which at the time was considered very cutting edge. Women were baring more skin on their arms and legs, enjoying a more lavish social life.

One of Chanel's memorable quotes is that "luxury must be comfortable; otherwise it is not a luxury." Her influence is felt still today, and the little black dress has seen many incarnations. During the Great Depression, the dress continued to be popular though the hemlines lengthen and the style was more restrained. The 50's brought the pin-up girl influence to the make the dress more seductive statement, often in a halter style. While Mod in the 60's shortened the length and added cutouts, it is the elegant black sheath dress designed by Givenchy for Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's that epitomized the style.

Before black became a staple in most women's wardrobes, it was considered a color of mourning. Now, it is a standard in fashion all over the world. It is easily worn with other colors, and provides a backdrop for stunning jewelry. It slims a woman's silhouette, and gives the appearance of being taller. It can be worn day or evening. For all of these reason's the little black dress remains as popular today as it ever has. The sleeveless black shift is the gold standard from which all are designed.

Dress styles have changed over the years to reflect the current trends - lengths go up and down, cleavage or no cleavage, lots of embellishment to elegant simplicity. The importance of the style is to have an effortless style that embodies who you are. Today's little black dress takes the simple lines and puts a wickedly modern twist on them.

In one of the most memorable dresses, Gwyneth Paltrow showed up in last year in London in a barely there black lace dress from Balmain, instantly influencing women all over to show more leg. Balenciaga's sculpted tailoring creates a futuristic feel, and Prada adds ruffled insets. Sequins and beading, metallic trims, sexy fringes, jagged hemlines, seductive single shoulder styles and pleats gave dimension to the dress, as sales climbed this past year. Continuing into 2009 women will be adding more to their little black dress collection.

Your closet should include at least two styles of Little Black Dress - daytime as well as evening. Soft jersey knits provide an easy backdrop to run errands in during the week, keeping creases to a minimum and always giving you an up to date look. Tank style dresses can be layered over pops of color, t-shirt styles are updated with metallic belts, and classic shirtdresses are cinched with ribbons and bows. Angelina Jolie has always embodied easy daytime style with her simple, chic black dresses, even when pregnant. The daytime black dress is easily accessorized with colorful jewelry and scarves, along with fun strappy sandals.

The Little Black Dress offers perfect styles to let you show off your most dramatic shoes. Shoes have become a commanding influence, and there have been many pairs purchased without regard to an outfit because they are so fabulous. This is where a simple black statement on top will show off the most decadent of footwear.

While many top designers' black dresses can run into the thousands of dollars, it is not necessary to spend so much for a stunning appearance. Couture style dresses is easier to find, and one of the top designers creating timeless designs is Natasha Leratti, a Miami-based fashion designer. One of her most spectacular strapless little black dresses features cascading ruffles and an uneven hemline. The bodice offers a hint of cleavage shown off by a crystal buckle. It retails for $599.00, which differs greatly from the $5,000 shown by other couture designers. She also offers a comfortable looking black knit dress for under $100 that can easily be dressed up and down. What sets Leratti apart is her willingness to customize styles and colors for her clients, at a fraction of the price. "Most customers don't receive anywhere near the quality and design in clothing for their hard earned cash as they should," notes Leratti. As a purveyor of the finest quality materials, she creates luxurious women's clothing that you'll want to fill your closet with. "Leratti's designer clothes allow you to feel beautifully confident," client Easter Huggins commends. Next time you are considering a Little Black Dress, or adding pieces to your wardrobe consult Leratti's website or contact her directly for a personal touch.

Three Facts the Media Does Not Want You to Know

I don't know about you, but I usually feel rotten after I leaf through one of the popular women's magazines. Have you ever noticed suddenly feeling ugly, fat, frumpy, or flawed after reading a copy of Vogue, Glamour, Mademoiselle, etc.?

Well, it's not a coincidence. The fact is that most women's magazines don't exist to inform, help, or entertain us. The sole reason for their existence is to sell us stuff ~ mostly stuff we don't even need.

How do they do that successfully? In marketing, it's called "creating a need." They make us feel bad about ourselves so we'll buy products to fix us. It's a nasty little game they play

1. Magazines cater to advertisers on what content to offer. For example, they won't publish photos of women who love and accept their normal bodies. If they do run an article with that idea (which doesn't happen often), they'll accompany it with a photo of an underweight model. Women who love their natural bodies aren't good customers for the diet advertisers.

2. They consistently depict images of unattainable beauty. Models generally stand about 5'9" and weigh around 110 pounds. The average American woman is 5'4" and weighs 140. Most of us are never going to look like models no matter how hard we try. And not even models themselves can live up to the photoshopped-to-perfection images that are created when their photos are digitally "airbrushed." The media specifically set out to convince us that we are unattractive unless we look like these fake images. Blatant ads or "recommendations" within the articles convince us to eagerly buy products.

3. Then they keep changing the rules. Every magazine issue has a better diet, different makeup, and/or the latest style. They continually promote the newest, best, improved, reformulated, etc. products. There is no way to ever keep up so we keep buying and buying, ever hopeful that the latest purchase will make us look and feel good.

It's a bad trade-off. We spend our days feeling bad about ourselves and squander our hard-earned money on junk. We waste our life energy dieting in a futile effort to change our bodies. Meanwhile, the media and advertisers skip happily along with their ever-expanding profits.

Well I don't know about you, but I'm tired of the message. I am choosing to not look at magazines that depict unrealistic images of beauty, that make me feel bad about myself, or that show endless images of emaciated actresses. I've decided to like who I am rather than trying to emulate anyone else.

I'm taking back my life and telling the media to take a hike. And I'm on a mission to invite others to join me. I'm tired of women wasting their money and their lives. I invite YOU to join me in walking away from the emotionally violent content of today's women's magazines.

I believe that we are each beautiful in our own unique ways. I'm all for taking delicious, nurturing care of ourselves and for being well-groomed.

But I also believe women have a lot to offer the world beyond how we look. And I'm calling on all of us to enjoy life and make a difference in the world instead of wasting our time and money trying to attain the media's impossible version of perfection.

Plus Size Bridesmaid Dresses For the Fuller Figure

When your best friend of all times is a bit on the large side it should not make you feel uncomfortable about asking her to be a bridesmaid. How could you possibly not ask her? After all, she has been through thick and thin with you and has always been there to lift your spirits when things were not going according to plan. Just spend some time together discovering great plus size bridesmaid dresses.

These days it is recognized that bridesmaids come in all shapes and sizes. So there really is no need to leave her out. All you have to do is discover where you can buy a bridesmaid's dress which she will look great in and feel confident wearing to accompany you down the aisle.

Carry out a search of the Internet and you will see numerous websites offering bridesmaids dresses in a full range of sizes. With so many colors and fabrics available to you, you will discover which are the best styles for the fuller figure. It will also become clear which designs of dress you should avoid at all costs. Let's face it, you do not want some slinky little number clinging desperately to the hips of your best friend. It would be so much better to go for a style which flows from the waist, hiding all the lumps and bumps.

Many people are shying away from the traditional style bridesmaids dress and are going for sari and kimono type clothes. These cost much less than a formal outfit and on the right person can look absolutely fabulous. There are many different designs in this type of 'cover all clothing' and some are quite exquisitely embellished with jewels, sequins and beads.

As far as accessories are concerned, depending on the time of year of the wedding, like autumn or winter time, there are some stunning shoulder wraps out there which nicely cover up the tops of arms thought to be too flabby to have on show. Most women are conscious of the tops of their arms, even those who are not carrying excess weight, so they are usually more than happy to cover them up, as long as this is done in a stylish manner. A wrap of this kind can make an excellent accessory to the outfit by way of match or contrast to the dress. Of course, a pair of high heels adds lift and height to the full figure and alters the whole stance of the person wearing them.

Quite often the way in which a bridesmaid wears her hair seems to change her whole appearance and hair taken up on to the top of the head and adorned with beautiful hair accessories can make the lovely lady look even more elegant.

Everyone can look good in an outfit that is right for their body shape along with accessories to go with it. When looking for plus size bridesmaid dresses use the choices available and your best friend will be happy on the inside and the outside and so will you!

Some Things You Didn't Know About Uggs

Originally worn by sheep grazers in order to keep them from catching the frost on their long days walking, Ugg boots are made of genuine sheepskin such is their attraction to be worn by many people thought the summer months. Ugg boots will keep you warm through the winter.

Sheep skin is very soft and that's exactly what Ugg boots are made of, this is why they are so comfortable and why so many people crave them. Ugg boots are well known all over the world and there is still some arguments over who started the retailing of these fantastic boots.

Ugg boots started off in Australia and eventually made its way around the globe providing comfort and warmth to millions. The reason they are called Uggs is because they are traditionally bland looking, usually only coloured in original sheepskin colouring with no shine like other leather boots.

Sheep skin itself is a very soft form of fabric so it was originally quite difficult in the early days to take them off as they moulded to the feet of consumers. A second layer was added soon after to prevent the boot shaping to the wearers foot.

Even after all these years people are still wearing Ugg boots, and newer models have been made for stylish looks and feel but they still retain the traditional bland look as intended. They are so comfortable nowadays that people even wear them indoors as slipper especially in the winter months as it can be absolutely freezing and Ugg boots seem to do the job better than anything else, you don't even have to wear socks with them. In fact because of the indoor wear, Ugg slippers are now being produced as well as Ugg slip-ons all to keep us warm in the winter months.
