How To Look Good; In Anything And Everything

You want to look good. We all want to look good; here you will discover how to look good in anything and everything.

Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson


Some people have a mole on their face and spend time and money in disguising or hiding it, or in some cases having the mole removed. Some
who have no facial blemishes will spend time and money on a ‘beauty spot.’

We have no control over what people think about us. What they think is their business. How we think and feel is our business. So the first step in how to look good in anything and everything is to feel good about ourselves. Love what you’ve got.

Liking who we are and learning to Love Ourselves was an article I wrote.and is key in how to look good in anything and everything, to summaries the main points:

Make a list of all our achievements.
List all those things that we like about ourselves
Know ourselves, our beliefs, values, goals and purpose
Understand and know that we are doing the best that we can. If we could do better we would.
Have compassion for ourselves, think what would we say and do to a friend who was in our situation?
Understand our motivations
Be true to ourselves

2. Be you! Kate Moss, Elle Macpherson and Hugh Grant are all taken; and there amazing benefits in being you. as you will discover in this post The amazing benefits of being you;

Happiness when you’re doing what you like; you are happier.

We feel much more fulfilled when we do what we like.

Better health, doing what we like and are good at makes us smile more. look at my post 17 reasons to smile.

We have more wealth because we’re doing what we love, we’re better at it and more enthusiastic.

Better relationships, because we’re smiling more and happier, people want to be around us more.

So if you want more from life, better health, abundant wealth and amazing relationships be you. You’re unique no-one else has your set of talents and gifts, as Ricky Beckwith said in the film beyond the secret ‘everyone else is taken’ so be you

By liking who we are, we look good there is an inner contentment which radiates out and is key of How to Look good in Anything and Everything.

Go to my blog to watch this great video from Nic. He’s got no arms or legs. But I think Nic looks good

3. Now we like ourselves on the inside we can progress to the outside. Be clean, a ‘distinctive body aroma’ in the form of BO is a denfite no,no! If you’ve got dirty or sweaty have a shower or bath. That includes clean finger nails gents! Tony Robbins tells that when he was starting out he lost a potential major client because Tony had chewed his finger nails down to the quick. Ladies when going out think it’s normal to have a manicure and pedicure, men we can too. I’ve been having a pedicure and manicure regularly since coming out to the Philippines and they’re great! Having a manicure and pedicure helps you to feel great!

4. Good underwear. Ladies find a bra that fits and is comfortable and helps you feel good. It does n’t matter who you are if your underwear is tight you’re not going to feel good. Ergo you won’t look good.

In my blog there's a great video on how to find the perfect fitting bar by none other than Gok Wan. Love it when Gok says to Jenny "make your boobs more appealing in your eyes."

5. Colours some colour’s will enhance you looks other will make you look palid. Go with the colours that suit you and your personality. If you’re not sure take a friend. I have found that ‘gays’ or lady boys as they’re reffered to in the Philippines have a highly developed sense of colour and what looks good. But you must like it too!

6. Clothes, fashion trends change and not all will suit you. Step free of ‘Fashion’ and find garments that suit you. If you’re small and petite, different things will look good on you than if you’re tall and willowy. There’s lot’s of different body shapes, and a huge variety of clothes. And some clothes will feel just right for you. Those are the ones for you. These clothes needn’t cost a fortune either. Supermarkets rush to imitate the latest ‘chic’ look at a fraction of the boutique cost. But only buy that if it truly suits you and you feel good in it. Also second hand is gaining a large following. A friend of mine Ruth loves charity shops so much she started her own web site featuring all the charity shops in the United Kingdom, and she’s visited a huge number of them! Ruth tells me that clothes that cost hundred’s of ££ when new can be picked up for under a tenner.

7. A key component of how to look good in anything and everything is the accessories that we choose. This is especially true for men. Shoes and watch tell a huge amount. I wear no watch, although I have a ’nice’ one, one that feels right for me, because I have no need to ‘watch’ the time. Shoes need to be clean and cared for. Gents are so lucky here a quality pair of shoes will last a long time. I’ve had 3 decades of wear from some shoes, and they still look smart and they feel great like a second skin.

Ladies shoes are predominately much more transient often only lasting a few months. Why do ladies wear shoes that are uncomfortable and difficult to walk in? (High heels) and don’t last? Wouldn’t be better to choose shoes on their comfort factor, they feel good. The number of parties I’ve been to were as the evening progresses the expensive heels get left to one side. I digress, but the point is that shoes are bought to wear, so ergo should be comfortable to wear.Summer Accessories

Handbags, necklaces, scarf’s coats all have a large impact on how you look, so choose accessories that feel right and are fit for the purpose. My daughter was looking for a new handbag and gave serious consideration to an old cartridge bag of mine. The bag was/is very practical, easy opening good storage, however the strap wasn’t right for her. To look good in anything it has to feel right for you.

8. Together the clothes and accessories that you chose should be an external acknowledgement and expression of what you’re like inside. And above should feel good and comfortable for you. Like a second skin then you will have mastered ,how to look good in anything and everything.

Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart. ~Kahlil Gibran

10 Quick Ways Women Can Empower Themselves

When you feel empowered you can accomplish anything you desire. Empowerment for women doesn’t mean you have to burn your bra or spit at the end of the bar. It doesn’t mean you need to be aggressive or stare down the nearest competitor with vigor. But there are a few things you can do to set yourself on the road to empowerment. 

1. Value relationships where you are an equal. This applies to both personal and professional relationships where you are respected and valued as a person for what you believe and the ideas you bring to the table.


2. Own your voice. Be assertive with your opinions. Expect that others will listen. This doesn’t mean to interrupt, only if you need to, but rather it’s about getting your message across with clarity and meaning. 

3. Identify words and language that support you, as well as men. Use words that show strength, willingness, and appreciation. Speak in a language that commands respect, honesty and openness.

4. Refrain from succumbing to the naughty jokes or innuendos at work. Once you participate in such banter your reputation suffers. You won’t be taken seriously when you take on an issue.

5. Focus on what is beneath appearances. Compliment someone on who they are not what they look like or how they dress. “You really communicated your idea well in that meeting” goes a lot further than, “Gee, you looked good in there.”

6. Talk about instances of improper treatment of women. Let people know you are aware of how you appreciate being treated with a certain standard.

7. Learn how to ask and negotiate. Be fair. Ask when you have earned it, not for any other reason. Be prepared to state your case and negotiate what will create a win-win situation. 

8. Be confident in planning your career. Visualize your advancement, who you want as a mentor, or continuing education that will keep you in the loop for a promotion.

9. Be a risk taker. This will help you develop self-reliance in making decisions and solving problems. 

10. Know and take care of your money. There’s nothing like have a rock solid healthy relationship with your money. If you support your money, it will support you.

These are only a few of the ways women can begin to empower themselves in a world where they sometimes get passed over or go unnoticed. Empowerment means equality and recognition for the different gifts women bring to the table. You play a major role in setting the bar for how men and other women treat you, acknowledge your power and support you.

10 Quick Ways Women Can Empower Themselves

10 Keys To Bring Inspiration Into Your Life Or How To Be Inspired

Have you ever asked yourself what is inspiration? What is being inspired?

When the word inspiration is broken down into its component parts, it simply means "in - spirit".
When you are living "in - spirit" You feel excited about yourself and your life. You have a special connection with all parts of your mind and body.


The question is how can you connect to your spirit at all times to take actions that enable you to be inspired?

Below are the ten keys to opening the doors to your inspiration.

1. The first key to inspiration is enjoyment. It would take a spiritual master to be inspired about doing the dishes. So find something that really excites you. It can be anything that you really enjoy. You have to have fun.

2. The second key to inspiration is love. When you are actively pouring love into what you are doing, this will guarantee that you are opening yourself to experiencing more inspiration. If you love what you do and do what you love, this will guarantee that you will be inspired.

3. The third key to inspiration is to trust in yourself. Listen to that little voice inside yourself and know that this comes from heart. This is called intuition. Intuition is the spark the sets off the fires of inspiration.

4. The fourth key to inspiration is to follow what your intuition tells you. The more you listen to it, the stronger your intuition will become. If you don't pay attention, that little voice gets fainter and fainter until you can no longer hear it. The spark goes out, and gets harder and harder to rekindle.

5. The fifth key to be inspired is to believe in yourself. Keep telling yourself "I can". These are some of the most powerful words that you can ever use. When you say this to yourself often enough, you build a bridge between yourself and your inspiration. When you are backed by a strong belief in yourself and your dreams, nothing is impossible.

6. The sixth key to inspiration is not to listen to anyone that says "no you can't". They might think that they are helping you, and try to project this negative belief onto you, but remember to keep telling yourself that, "I can!" Nothing will kill your inspiration quicker than listening to people say “no you can’t do that” Understand that often what they mean is “No, I can’t do that, so you shouldn’t either” Its best to simply thank them for their advice, pay no attention to it and not discuss it further.

7. The seventh key to being inspired is to avoid negativity. Ask yourself, do you really need to read the newspaper or watch the news on TV every day? Nothing kills inspiration quicker than being surrounded by bad news. How you can you possibly feel inspired if everywhere you look you are getting reports of doom, gloom and destruction. What if instead of watching the news, you spent time doing what it is that you really love? What if you just spent just 1/2hr a day doing what you really love? What sort of a change would it make in your life after a whole year?

8. The eight key to inspiration is acceptance. Accept that on some days you feel much more inspired than on others. This is normal. Nobody can be completely inspired every minute of the day. So on the days when you feel flat, just know that this will pass and don’t feel too troubled about not feeling inspired.

9. The ninth key to inspiration - Take action every day, no matter how small a step it seems. Action is the fuel to the fires of inspiration. Make it a daily practice to keep your fire burning. The taking of actions, no matter how small, will fill you with inspiration for taking the next step.

10. The tenth key to inspiration is the most powerful of all. Simply put, it is to surround yourself with things that inspire you. This is so laughingly simple that many people over look this. It could be inspiring music, inspiring recorded talks, inspiring books and inspirational art.

One of the most powerful ways to be inspired comes from surrounding yourself with inspirational art. Artworks come in many forms such as paintings and sculptures, and have such an amazing power to influence thoughts and emotions, to uplift and also inspire. By the careful placement of inspiring artworks, you can transform your living and working environments to be places filled with light and inspiration.

All of these 10 keys to inspiration are very simple things. Try them today and you will be amazed at what a difference it will make in your life.

May your life be filled with Love and Happiness and Inspiration!

How To Surprise Your Boyfriend And Share Love Quotes To Him

Quotes are appealing. They are seen anywhere. They are motivational and they help one to focus on goals and aspirations in life. There are so many kinds of quotes. Some quotes are written for education purposes. While others are about devotion, credence and a whole lot more. Each have its own subject and function. Love quotes on the other hand are very fashionable particularly for individuals who are in love, looking for love and those in a romantic relationship.

If you have a boyfriend and you wish to show your affection, you can do it by sending love quotes messages on his birthday or on your anniversaries. Keep in mind that the quotes you disclose must befitting to your feelings and the type of bond that you two share. Of course, it will be irrelevant to send a wrong message. If you wish to awe your special someone with your selected love quotes, here are resourceful ways to share them.


Electronic Cards
Twenty years ago, people are used to sending cards by mail. The trend today is to send cards electronically using a powerful internet provider. They are faster and more practical. You can also choose the pictures and melody that you want to attach to the e-card. You can use templates to guide you. However, personalizing the card is more appropriate especially if you are sending the card to someone special like your boyfriend. Decide on a love quote that you feel will be valued by your boyfriend.

Bake A Cake
If your boyfriend likes your cooking or baking, you can make cakes and pastries. Pick out your most wanted love quotes online. Frost the love quotes in thick toffee or vanilla icing. You can also use different letter-shaped cookie cutters to spell out the romantic love quotes.

Knit Or Hem
Use your talent and make one special sweater or shawl for your boyfriend. This gift is perfect to keep your boyfriend warm and snug especially in a cold windy day. Sew and knit the love quotes in big or small fonts depending on your preference. You can also attach your initials to personalize the sweater or scarf.

Create A Calendar
Calendars are perfect gifts for New Year. To start making a personalized calendar for your special person, choose 12 photos of you and your boyfriend, one for every month. Add one love quote for each calendar month. Indicate a quote accordingly. For April since people are celebrating April fool’s day for this month, you can use John Donne’s quote – “"I am two fools, I know, - For loving, and for saying so in Whining poetry.” As simple as that. Just improvise and you will come up with cool material.

Lovers’ Shirts Or Couples’ Shirts
This kind of shirts are very fashionable among lovers. Instead of the usual L-O-V-E shirts L-O for the man’s shirt and V-E for the lady’s, why not affix some popular love quotes or create your own quotes for a change. You may want to personalize the shirts to make them more unique. It will be so odd to see another couple wearing the same love shirts when you are out in a date.

Love quotes are intended to inspire and to share. Why not inspire your partner and share a couple of great love quotes to him. Just be creative and make sure that the quotes that you

21 Days To A Better You

How you see yourself in your mind is what your going to manifest in your life. You will never rise higher than your own perceived expectations. How do see yourself? Are you a positive, outgoing individual? Or are you a quiet little mouse hiding in the corner afraid of the future?

You have control over your mind and emotions simply put you have the power already inside you to determine which path your life will follow. You can reprogram your mind through meditations, positive thoughts, saying or writing out positive affirmations. The word affirmations means to make true. What do you want to change in your life?


Make a list. Number your list in order of importance to you. Decide what one thing you want to work on. Only one goal or dream at a time, so as not to overload yourself. It has been said that it takes only 21 days to make or break a habit. You could be only 21 days from your greatest successes! How great would that be? You may feell that ou have a long way to go, but look back at how far your;ve already come?

I quote from my book, “Inspirations”, page 36: “Don't stay locked away in a prison of remorse, of things done or not done, of choices made or not made. Let yourself be free and enjoy a brand new beginning!” And on the very next page, page 37, it says: “Now is the time. Do not delay. No more excuses, just start now!” And on page 49, I quote: “If you dont take action on your dreams and ideas, how can you expect to manifest success? You must take the 1st step, no one else can do it for you! Your never too old and it's never too late to start. Seize the moment, and take that 1st step!

Every creative person has experienced unmotivated and uninspired days. Whether you're writing a book, designing an evening gown, or developing the hottest new website, you need inspiration. This article is dedicated to finding that lost inspiration that's deep within all of you.
1. Take a Walk - You never know what you'll see. Pay attention to people, architecture, and nature. What are people wearing? What are they talking about.? What colors are in the pavement? Shapes and sizes of buildings? Flowers? Grass? Take it all in.
2. Browse the Library or Local Bookstore - I'm good for going to Barnes and Noble and grabbing a bunch of books just to read in the connected coffee shop.
3. Go To A Museum - This is where I get most of my inspiration. Try even your local history center or even botanical garden. Any tourist spot is great.
4. Surf The Web - It can't get any better than this. The amount of info on the web is infinite. Ideas of inspiration aren't far behind. If you can't find it on the web then you aren't looking hard enough or maybe TOO hard.
5. Watch a Movie - I always find inspiration in the classics for my clothing and jewelry designs. I think movies would also be a great inspiration for photographers.
6. Keep a Journal - Keep a journal, scrapbook, file, or storage box full of your ideas, sketches, photographs, articles, etc. This source is priceless on those not so creative days.
7. Talk to Other Creative People - Ask them where they find inspiration. Join online groups, forums, or check your area where creative folks get together to share ideas.
8. Do Not Stress Out - Last but not least. Don't stress too much. I've always found that when I stress my creativity is less. Stress drains you of energy let alone motivation and inspiration.
You can find creative inspiration just about anywhere. Look past the obvious and you'll be surprised what you see.

A Very Good Way To Brighten Up Your Home.

It is only the end of march and already the sun has shown it’s face so it is coming up for that time of year again the time of year we all look forward to yes you guessed it is nearly summer again a time for partying in the garden bbq’s everywhere and days in the park pretty much anything that gets you out in the sun, but summer can also be a great time of year for doing things round the house. All of those little jobs that you have been putting off all winter are all waiting for you to get up and do them well this is a great time of year to get all of those little or even big jobs done no one likes going out and doing things in a bleak grey winter you just cannot seem to get motivated when it is so dull not to mention the cold if I have things to do to the outside of the house or in the garden I just cannot bring myself to just get up and get it done but when the sun comes out it is a different story I can’t wait to get out there and get things done I think it is a common thing when the sun starts to come out we start to come out it’s so true just walking round in summer you see people walking round that you haven’t seen all winter, so why not use this motivation to get things done get up and get the garden done clean the gutters out do the windows and get those touch ups done round the house then relax in the sun after a job well done.

As I mentioned in the summer I along with many others are at bbq’s, so you may have many people round the house old friends and new and it’s important to make a good impression weather it is the first time they have seen your house before or not, for one if you are in the garden then first things first you want to have a nice inviting garden or at least well kept no one wants to be cleaning up when they get there, but there will also be a lot of traffic going in and out of your house so it’s nice to do some touch ups round the house to make the place look nice for you and your guests, this year I have bought a few canvas print and it looked great and really brighten up my home as canvas printing is very popular these days so you won’t have any problems finding a business online who can supply all of your photo canvas needs you can have one of your family photos or a picture of anything printed on to canvas or a buy a original work of art on canvas the prices are very competitive as there are allot of people out there doing it that is the tips for inside and out have a great summer and thanks for reading.
