BOHEMIC HAIRSTYLE

Right now we are inspired by the boho-chic, wavy, slightly messy swell à la Jane Birkin and Marianne Faithful from the sixties. At Pucci's autumn catwalk we saw hairstyle including the IT model Cara Delevingne. In addition, the views include Kate Moss and Sienna Miller paparazzi pictures everywhere in the same nonchalant chic hair either long, thick bangs or with a center parting where the bangs grown out to frame the face.

To create the look:
1. Start by washing your hair with a volume shampoo. If you have thin hair you can have in a volume mousse in your hair when it is wet to get to the little rufsigare look.

2nd Blow dry your hair dry, but use a heat protecting product to avoid damaging your hair, attract the sedan with a large curling iron, hold the rod up and down parallel to the hair. In this way, you create soft loose curls with cases.

3rd When you attracted full hair can take a spray over it and then gently brush through the entire hair. Then use your fingertips to tousle your hair in a relaxed way. The loose waves need not be ruffled, but should also not fall perfectly.

4th Finish with a shine spray to give your hair the extra shine. Voilà!



Extra tip:
For the coming festivities, we combine the look with a marked eyeliner and nature partly lipstick!

COLOR YOUR LIFE

 

The colors you choose, from the color of your hair to the color of your socks, revealing more than you think. Here we investigate how different colors can affect your everyday life.
"Roses are red ..." so begins the famous love poem, which plays on the color that is associated with lust, passion and romance. But where exactly will these associations from, and how powerful are they? A few years ago, a research team at the University British Columbia an investigation to find out how color affects our way of thinking, and the result was striking.

People who performed the tasks in front of a blue background showed a more creative thought process, while those who were tested against a red background was more attention to detail and accuracy, rather than outward thinking. It is easy to link these results to the everyday cultural associations: Red is not just the color of love, it's also the color of alarm and danger, making us alert and aware. Blue and the other side is the calm color of the sea and sky on a beautiful summer day.



But according to Angela Wright, acclaimed color psychologist, consultant and author of The

Beginner's Guide to Colour Psychology, so is the color so much more than the eye can see. She reminds us that "Color is light, it is universal, not culturally, and the learned reactions are relatively superficial." We thought it was time to explore how color can influence our mood and behavior, and how we can make use of color to enhance our lives.

BALANCE AND HARMONY

There is no "wrong" color when it comes to well-being - it's all about how you match it. Bring vibrant red for example: is it exciting or hostile, passionate or angry? It's all about the context in which you put it in.



"The history of red is that it is physically stimulating," explains Wright. "It raises blood pressure, gives the impression that time passes more quickly, and the temperature may rise." So whether you find the color red as energizing and exciting, aggressive and demanding, you can easily personalize the appearance of your color choice by experimenting with smart combinations. "People often choose strong color combinations on your clothes just because they want to stand out and be seen," says Wright. "But they do not realize that this may affect their well-being." So why not combine the fiery red dress with a rich, warm blue color instead of a cold, black color? Or take inspiration from Mother Earth and try to match the green color - a calm and sedate color - with vibrant blood red lips to give your color palette, a new energy. 

SIGNS OF THE TIME

Our color selection may reflect a subconscious reaction to what is happening around us - how we

If gray is your natural state of mind, there are plenty of simple tricks that you can use if you want to lighten the mood a bit: bright lipstick and vibrant hair color brightens up. "When women go through an intense time color we often hair blonde, it's a natural impulse that acts as a counterpoint to the sadness," explains Wright. "And when a fiery woman feels that she does not get attention as the colors she often hair red!" Wright also suggest that you use neon colors if you want to feel a little more optimistic. "Synthetic colors can be a way to gain control over a chaotic time," she says. Get more energy with a festive nail polish or intense lipstick.

decorate our homes and the color of our clothes change from recession to periods of optimism, from gloomy winter days to warm summer days. Have you noticed that on display in shops are starting to get a dimmed mood lately, there's an explanation for it: "Gray is the color of restraint," said Wright. "The human instinct is the same as in the physical world: when our environment becomes gray, we would like to go to sleep." Wright does not think you are going to decorate the office in the somber tone: "You will only create an atmosphere that makes your staff feel sleepy!"

Rainbow

We often hear that we should eat food in all its colors to enhance our overall health - a mix of colorful vegetables, orange and red fruits together with brown and white in the form of cereals and milk products. Similarly, the colorful food to be the best for your emotional and physical well-being. "All our waking hours, we adapt psychologically to all the colors that we have in our environment and the color of our clothes," said Wright. "The eye can only perceive light of certain wavelengths, but we are in need of the colors in the entire color spectrum."

To get a real health boost, look through your makeup bag and wardrobe: there are colors from the entire color group, or you are stuck in a monochromatic color scheme? Do you feel that this season's bright colors are not quite your thing, you need not worry: it's not about to replace all of your dark clothes but simply adding a few colorful details.

"When we say that black is a safe bet, so it's not just that it can be paired with everything," explains Wright. "Black is the ultimate security solution. It absorbs all the energy coming towards you, and can literally protect you."


So, you should set off at a party where you do not know so many people can a black outfit really improve your self esteem. But Wright suggests that you can still add a touch of color - even if others can not see it so it can make a difference: "The simplest and easiest way is to use colorful lingerie to lighten up the heavy and dark energy as an all black wardrobe provides.

PASSIONATE SALSA!

British fashion editor Alison Taylor guides you into the exotic world of dance. Experience the feeling of passion with salsa.
I see salsa and I see red. I see the passion and fiery women. I see the steamy heat and hot moves. I look pretty dresses and red lips. , I definitely want to be involved!

After the summer, I am in need of passion - I want to get into a little more red in my life, literally and figuratively. I start by buying a new red lipstick. The next step? I want to learn to dance salsa.

I realize on the very first lesson that it is clear that we all have our reasons why we chose this Latin American dance. The shy guy who wants to get more confidence, the woman who recently broke up with her boyfriend and wants to shake off the grief, the couple who are out on their first date, and so I - who are in search of a fun way to get in shape and experience something new and exciting. This is passionate and alive, and go deep into the soul. But will succeed salsa meet all our needs?

We are around 40 people and the class is held in the basement of "The Cuba Bar" (a perfect place where salsa originated from Cuba). The class kicks off and we are starting to warm up to the music (basic forward and backward steps) with the help of three teachers. That way, they can easily see what level we are at and split up into different groups.

I'm definitely a newbie so I end up in the beginners group and we begin with "Mambo" - where we practice the forward and backward movements. I will immediately think of the movie Dirty Dancing. I come into the fort - the music is driving and it is impossible to stand still.

Teachers are telling us not to focus on our feet, but the music and rhythm - that way we get to experience real salsa. After the end of the lesson, I can the basic movements and I've got with me a lot of good tips, like taking quick but short steps, and create movement with your hips and upper body. Everything is about being as sexy as we possibly can. A feminine dress, heels and red lipstick helps me get in the mood and bring out my sexy self.

Then we are asked to pair us - there are a lot of "singles" so it's no problem finding a dance partner. I paired up with Alex, a 20 year old guy who, by his own lack confidence and hope that salsa should make him a little more confident. While we dance teachers go around and correct any obvious mistakes and give us tips. I am told that I'm taking too big steps but I have a good natural rhythm, which makes me really happy. Then we change partners - women may move to the left - this feels almost like speed dating - I thought I would hate this but it feels actually very fun and social.

The final grade? After the end of the lesson - one and a half hours literally flew by, I've met really nice people, laughed, sweated and gained an understanding of some basic steps in salsa. I already know of all the benefits with salsa, I feel warm and happy. Moreover, it is a good form of exercise, legs, buttocks and abdomen have received a round and I really feel the day after. , I will definitely go there again! I asked one of the teachers why salsa is so special and he replied that it was a blend of Latin American music and the feeling that you get when you dance: "People love salsa because they can really feel it, it's like a feeling that takes over whole body! "

GET THE LOOK: MARGOT ROBBIE

We love the Australian actress Margot Robbie feminine style. Learn how to get to her natural makeup look.
Martin Scorsese's film The Wolf of Wall Street is undoubtedly the winter's most anticipated movie - so what could be more fitting than to celebrate the New Year with beauty inspiration from the female protagonist? Australian Margot Robbie plays the irresistible love of Jordan Belfort - played by Leonardo DiCaprio, a celebration cheerful financier and fraudsters who swindled Wall Street on several million during the 1900s.

Robbie changed his beauty style for his role as the seductive Naomi, but private is her beauty style simple and sexy with a focus on strong eyebrows, attractive lips and flawless skin. To get to Robbie's style is femme-fatale meets girl-next-door, we talked with the London baserade makeup artist Maxine Leonard, who works with Hollywood stars like Keira Knightley and Jennifer Aniston.

                        

Are you jealous of Robbie's bold eyebrows which is a perfect contrast to her blonde hair all? "Use a brow shadow or pencil to fill in eyebrows," says Leonard. "Comb then eyebrows with a brush to blend out the product and make use of a wax to ensure that brynens shape stays in place."

When it comes to lipstick tends Robbie to avoid Hollywood's most common color: bright red. We often see her kissable lips in shades of pink. Leonard recommended that we use strong pink colors this time of year, when it looks softer against the winter's pale complexion.

Speaking of skin so we celebrate Robbie's flawless complexion that certainly depends on a good skin care routine, but you can get far with a little concealer! Apply to the cheekbones, nose and just below the chin. "This opens up the face and accentuates your best features in a natural way," said Leonard. "It's an easy way to freshen up tired vinterhy and is definitely the key to Robbie's delicious look."

MODERN WELFARE

What is the first thing we say when someone asks us if we exercise and eat healthy? "I do not have time!" Or maybe "I'm just too busy at work!" Who has time to go to a spinning class after a long day at the office, and when the children must be picked up at preschool?
Is lack of time, the biggest challenge women face today when trying to balance work with a healthy lifestyle? Not according Oriflame nutritionist and Wellness Expert Burčák Ulmer: "You thought I'd say time, but it's really not - not if health is a priority., The key challenge is to stay organized and maintain a routine that works."

A good first step is to define what we mean by "modern welfare". It's about keeping fit and eating healthy, yes, but that's not all. As Burčák points out: "If you are depressed or unhappy for any reason, it is just as harmful to your health as anything else. Ability to grow and invest in your relationships are also crucial for your health and longevity."

But is not this just one more thing that adds to the long to-do list? Not necessarily - this is where the clever bit comes into play. It's about being smart routines and combine different activities for double benefit. "Change intercourse with your girlfriend, sister or mother to a more active form, as men do," suggests Burčák. "Go out on a long walk around town or perhaps in the woods," she says. "My mom and I usually take a yoga class together and laugh at how inflexible we are., It is an experience that brings us closer to each other while we are active."

Modern well-being is about creating balance between work, family and leisure time, rather than setting unrealistic goals (which we are prone to do) and then feel distraught when we did not have time to workout three days at the gym.

"There is no reason to feel despondent, it is not constructive!" Said Burčák. "It's best to take a step back and analyze your situation. How can you say no to? What happens if you do that?"

Getting into exercise into your daily routine is a good solution. "Bring comfortable shoes to work and take a 20 minute walk at lunch, you will come back to the office with a renewed energy," suggests Burčák. "And if you want to start working out at a gym, make sure that it is close your home or job and they offer training that you love. If you love music, dancing and similar activities, then go to a gym that does not offer it. "

Food is the last piece of this puzzle that gives you better wellbeing. Burčák suggest that you invest some time to learn about nutrition and that you plan your meals for the week so you are not tempted to eat unhealthy. If you're smart, you can save money by thinking of your health.

She suggests a blender as a smart first investment. "Make smoothies, there is an easy way to eat your vegetables, which are an important source of magnesium, folic acid, iron, and a range of anti-oxidants." Her best tip? "Add a scoop of protein powder so saturating the smoothie tremendously. A smoothie a day keeps the doctor away."

WHAT IS POWER DRESSING

The concept of power dressing was coined in the 80's when successful women claimed their place in the business world by making use of their style of dress to signal their power.
Someone who was well aware of the power dressing was England's first and only female Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher. She was not only a pioneer in politics but also in vogue. She ruled the country with her signature genomic bubbly - bespoke suit with padded shoulders, pearl necklaces and tie blouse. She really set the bar for how successful women in leadership positions now dress to accentuate their power.

Another woman who was thought to be fashion-forward for its time was Princess Diana. She made an own interpretation of power dressing and chose a modern and youthful style that made her a style icon that we still inspired.

TV shows like Dallas and Dynasty and the film Working Girl really showed a clear relationship between fashion and power.

The suit still serves as a marker of power, and this season powersuiten reigned on the catwalk.

FACE. foundations for the natural look is a flawless complexion with radiance. Make use of a sheer foundation or a light BB cream and apply only on the areas you want to cover. Hide dark circles and blemishes with a concealer, apply even a little on the eyelids to neutralize the skin tone. Choose a shade just a bit lighter than your own skin tone. Apply concealer using a brush for minimal coverage. Finally, apply a little cream blush to the cheek highest point, choose a pink or peach shade that gives the skin a natural freshness.

 

EYES. Emphasize your eyes with an eyeliner pencil that you paint thinly closest to the lash line. The trick is to use a brown eye pencil instead of black, it gives a more toned-down and unpainted impression. To give your eyes some depth, you can apply a taupe eyeshadow on the eyelid. Bend the lashes with an eyelash curler and finish with a little mascara. Brush the brows and fill them as needed with an eyebrow shadow. For that little extra - apply a white eyeliner pencil inside the lashes on the lower lid for a spirited and alert eyes.



LIPS. Get to soft, well-groomed lips. Begin by scrubbing them gently with a damp towel, then apply a lip balm for a smooth and easy impression. Want some more intensity, you can garnish with a lipstick that matches the natural color of the lips, dab on with your fingers for a subtle sheen.
