Beauty pageants are fun for many women, and for some, they’re almost a rite of passage. Pageant gowns run the gamut from fun and flirty to seriously formal, and depending on your age, body type, personal preference for style, and the type of beauty pageant you’re going to be competing in, you may find that one or more of the following tips will help you select the perfect gown. And remember, you can browse beauty and wedding magazines for ideas, send away for catalogs if you’d like to immerse yourself in hundreds of possibilities, and window shop both online at PageantDesigns.com, and offline for ideas.

Go with an age-appropriate style.
If you’re a tween or teenage girl, stay in the range of pageant gowns that are suitable for your age. Short sleeveless numbers may work if you pair them with a wrap, but stay away from deep v-neck cuts as well as long formal gowns that look as though they were more suited for a wedding or a spin around a ball room. When in doubt, pick a gown with a higher neckline and a lower skirt – you can always take things up or down a notch, but it’s much more difficult to add fabric where there currently isn’t any.

Pick colors & cuts that flatter.
The number one rule to choosing the right pageant gown is to compliment your figure. Find what works for you. Generally, if you are short and buxom, you’ll want to rely on tighter styles that feature ruching along the front, supportive cups, and unique straps the attract the eye. Taller ladies with a willowy build will appreciate empire waistlines and lacy bodices that hide sculpting boning and curved metal or plastic. For skin tones, go with what is tried and true: olive complexions will benefit from jewel tones, while fair-skinned complexions work best with neutral or bright colors.

Don’t forget the accessories!
A pretty tiara or a delicate veil, a simple strand of flowers in your hair, or a wrap can really accentuate your pageant gown. If your gown is very fancy and luxuriously adorned with lace or beads, go light on the jewelry. On the other hand, a more simpler gown would certainly benefit from a statement necklace or a gorgeous pair of bejeweled earrings. Makeup should be saved for last, and you’ll want to play up your best features, such as eyes and lips.

Whether you’re building a new wardrobe or just looking to round out your closet, it’s important to have all the basics. Here are a few essentials for the fashionable male.

1: Suit

Every man needs at least one good suit. The type you buy, however, will depend on your personal budget and style. Are you a fan of the classics? Look for a dark three-piece suit. Young and bold? Look for pinstriped or houndstooth designs.

2: Jeans

A sturdy pair of jeans will last for years, so don’t be afraid to splurge and buy one of high quality. If you’re anything like the average man, you’ll be wearing them a lot.

3: Utility Jacket

These military-inspired jackets will bring an edge to any outfit, sending a message of confidence, masculine and vitality. Pair them with those jeans you just bought and you’ll be attracting women for miles.

4: Loafers

A must-have for the working professional, even hipsters will eventually have need of dress shoes, whether it’s for a wedding, funeral, family reunion or job interview. Start with a black pair first, the most traditional.

5: Cargo Pants

Neat enough for the office, yet casual enough for everyday wear, a good cargo pants will serve you through a variety of events and occasions.

6: Blazer

Blazers are one of the great secrets of men’s fashion. Everyone knows about them, of course, but few realize just how versatile they really are: You can wear them to complement an expensive, stylish outfit or you can use them to “class up” a more casual one.

I do most of my shopping online now that I have discovered its advantages. Since my schedule is loaded, not even having the time to do some of my errands, internet shopping has provided me with some precious hours. It is more convenient, faster, and easier. I no longer have to brave traffic or wait in line for minutes. I do my shopping anywhere I am, anytime. I also like the fact that there are more choices and I am able to save more because most of the items are cheaper than those you find at the mall. Furthermore, there are a lot of online stores that provide free shipping and big discounts.

I have a couple of favorite online shops and they accept coupons, which are one of the most popular marketing and advertising strategies used by manufacturers and sellers to attract new customers. You are able to use them to buy items for free or half the price or get free shipping. They are also easy to find. There are even hundreds of websites offering them such as VoucherKing. It has the latest voucher codes from 1,000 of your favourite retailers in the UK like AbeBooks, Adidas, Accent Clothing, Barker and Stonehouse, Diesel, Fashion for Home, Papa John’s, Panasonic, The Body Shop etc. Their Debenhams Voucher codes include so many amazing deals.

Beautiful Images with Easy Canvas Prints

by admin

Christmas is fast approaching and as early as now I am already thinking of gifts to give to the special people in my life. I want presents that are unique and those that they will remember for the rest of their lives, not just the usual items that you can buy at the mall or online stores. I browsed the internet for ideas and found this really interesting website called Easy Canvas Prints (there are actually similar sites where you can customize products such as Allied Shirts and Build a Sign) where you can turn your pictures into custom canvas prints for decorating your home or to be given away as presents.

The great thing about this is that you can customize your canvas prints by uploading any photo to a selection of size choices, picking your depth, and selecting a custom border. It is totally up to you how you want your prints to look like. You can do the whole process in a matter of minutes through their Easy Canvas Prints design tool. Select from standard .75″ or gallery wrapped 1.5″ finished sides as well as custom canvas wrapped sides with image wrap, mirrored wrap, or custom hex code colors. If you are not satisfied with the way your prints look, these can be retouched by their team of art professionals. Other enhancements like Black & White or Sepia Conversion, photo collages and multi–canvas collages are also available.

I saw some sample images at their website and they are really stunning. I can only imagine how beautiful my canvas prints will look like what with their semi-gloss surface. Plus, canvases can resist most scratches, smudges, fingerprints, etc. and are said to last for decades with proper care. If you are wondering what type of photos can be printed, then rest assured that you can print any digital image whether it is a painting or digital art or a photograph. Make sure though that you do not infringe any copyright.

Ceelin Plus Syrup For Healthier Kids

Kids nowadays may look healthy because they are chubby and tall but sometimes looks can be deceiving. We can never be too sure how healthy a child is unless we monitor their eating habits everyday. Furthermore, since the weather is somewhat unpredictable, children tend to get colds and flu easily and more frequently. Young children’s immune system is not yet fully developed so this makes then susceptible to all types of illnesses. This is when supplementation with Vitamin C and Zinc is helpful. The combination of Vitamin C and Zinc will boost the body’s immune system and help the body’s natural defense against damaging free radicals.

Kids will get these nutrients from Ceelin Plus Syrup. It is the only Vitamin C plus Zinc in liquid format containing stabilized Vitamin C. Good thing UNILAB PH sent me samples a couple of days ago for my nephew to try out. He likes the taste so we do not have to force him to take his vitamins. He is the one who reminds us about it. He often has colds because he is an active boy and perspires a lot so I am hoping that he does not get sick anymore now that he is regularly taking Ceelin.
