Black and white tend to be colors that everyone’s safe with. Everyone knows black and white go with everything including each other. It’s a safe way to be trendy. Anyone can pair a solid black bottom with a colorful top, a white blouse with black dress pants, all white with pastel accessories. The latest trend is elevating this plain, basic and elementary style to the next level. Color blocking with solids and using patterns with black and white will turn plain old black and white into trendy, chic and fun with the two most basic shades. Prints are endless, from tribal, to argyle, floral and anything in between. Taking to foundation colors like black and white and elevating that look one level by adding a print can turn something plain to something chic. Tribal print black and white tops with plain black pants are just as stylish, chic and effortless. Wearing black and white stripes can turn any outfit around too, and can be paired with another color, another pro to rocking black and white. If you can play around with patterns, why stop there? Clashing patterns has been one of the bigger trends of the year, so why not do it with black and white! Clashing patterns is much easier when you can avoid double clashing with colors. Rock some black and white tribal with strips, floral with polka dots. Also, whoever said wearing an outfit completely one pattern was a fashion faux-pas was wrong. Rock an all striped
blazer and pant combo! Don’t forget to apply this to accessories. Patterned scarves, beanies, tuques and ponchos make all the difference as well. A completely different approach to black and white is by leaving them solid, but not plain. Color blocking is like turning your outfit into an abstract painting. Wearing a white dress with large black triangles as a pattern, a black shirt with large white zigzags. Wearing them as solids with patches of the other shade to add a different element. A shirt that’s half black and white with black pants is much more exciting and eye catching. All of this said, there is nothing wrong, at all, with wearing plain white and plain black. It’s the most classic way to look sophisticated, sexy and trendy. Adding patterns and prints is fun but staying classic with those two colors is effortless. These two shades are staples in any outfit, be it a colorful outfit and adding an element of black or white, or wearing all black and white. Use black and white in accessories, shoes, clothes…it can be implemented anywhere and everywhere, as it should. Look up some of these trends and find the best way you want to add black and white into your wardrobe!

Bubble gum, cotton candy, mints…why am I listing candies? One of this years trend is wearing candy colored clothing. Pastel and deep bold colors are the perfect light tones for any skin type. Darker skin tones appear darker and more radiant against light pinks, corals and mints. Lighter skin tones appear brighter and cheeks rosier in bold blues and reds. Not only are wearing bubble gum pinks and honey yellows fun, vibrant colors they help keep summer alive. When September starts, people tend to wear darker colors – Burgundies, burnt oranges, and forest greens. Is there anything wrong with fall colors? Of course not, however, mint candy apple green, light baby blues, corals, pink panther pinks are pretty, light, candy like colors that keep summer around. Though September is here, summer is still very much alive and these bright colors help keep your wardrobe as bright as the sun. A fun way to wear these bright shades is to mix and match them. Don’t be scared to try mint candy apple with bubble gum pink. Bright colors won’t clash when styled the right way. A fun pink skirt is perfect with a mint crop top. Pastel orange thigh-high socks can go great with a blue cardigan. Now don’t worry because these fun colors can be incorporated anywhere! Get a coral blazer for the work place to add some fun to your black work pants or pencil skirt. Wear bold colored t-shirts and skirts at school. Invest in candy colored accessories and footwear! I own bubble gum pink sneakers. Try out bright book bags, purses, wallets, rings, and even statement necklaces. Nothing can bring fun to an outfit that’s all black and white with a huge pop of color on a huge necklace. When winter approaches, you can also keep these bright colors in your wardrobe with bold and pastel colored scarves, hats and mitts. Some inspirational celebrities that rock this trend are Katy Perry, Beyoncé, supermodel Karlie Kloss and many more. If you’re looking to join into the trend do a little bit of research, get some ideas and head out and shop! The most important thing about this style is to have fun with. Bright colors and pastel colors go beautifully together. Get creative and mix some bold blues and reds with light yellows and greens. Don’t be afraid to say your inspiration was a gumball machine or a lollipop. Candy is fun and so are clothes.

80s Are BACK! By Kiki Landry The 80s was a decade of big hair and bright colors which is why some people tend to avoid the 80s fashion trends, although, it can be difficult to work into a modern wardrobe, especially since they can look a bit “costumey” but you can, and I say CAN wear the 80s fashion in a modern way, and here is how to do it!

High teased ponytails are possibly my five style from Back in the 80s the trends were oversized shirts that the 80s. To modernize this style try keeping your hair were worn off-the-shoulder, often these shirts were very sleek and avoid scrunches.

It’s to the shirts that fit closer to the body and are meant a flattering look that is very simple. to be worn off shoulder.

We all spend time doing our hair in the mornings, constantly trying to part our hair to look a certain way; sometimes it feels impossible some days just to make it look “just right” well here is a few tips and tricks to find the perfect part for your face shape and a bit on why these parts look best on you! Round face: With a round face shape you always want to part in the middle or a deep side part, and this is because it gives off the illusion of length and give symmetry to your face. Square face: People who have this face shape look best with a side part and bangs, a soft side part with bangs soften up your face shape and adds that extra OUMPH! If you part it too deep then it will accentuate those angles of a square face, so keep it soft and subtle. Allow your bangs to offset your angled jawline. Oval Face: The “Ideal” face shape anyone could ask for is oval!, any and every kind of part looks fantastic on this face shape, so play it up every day with a different look, bangs or no bangs, girl you can rock it all!, and most of us women will be envious of you. Heart face Shape: With this shape you always want to play
off a deep side part which will break up the chin line which can be pointy if you have a heart shaped face. It will also help soften up your cheek bones. Diamond face: With this face shape it’s a bit trickier, you want to have a soft side part but no bangs and here is why; a side part compliments the cheekbones and bone structure, and having this face shape means you have a smaller forehead, so anything too long and dramatic will overshadow your face. Oblong face: You would want to have a middle part or side part with front bangs, and here is why I say this; a middle part will add the illusion of a rounder face shape and bangs also work well for this look because they help shorten the face shape. And for those who are like myself and suffer from hair that naturally parts down the middle, create a side part by parting your hair while it is wet, then applying a product to hold the new part in place. Then, use a fine-toothed comb to direct your hair in the new direction as you blow dry, you may have other methods that work for you this is what I find helps me the most. Good luck ladies and enjoy!

Breaking up is hard to do, but perhaps knowing a break make an effort to work on it before hand. Solidify up is coming makes it a little easier. Is there really a your commitment and make sure your relationship is season for breaking up? It does appear to happen more holiday proof! often at specific times of the year.

Shortly after New Year’s there strategies necessary to move on, should your is also a bit of a rise in couples going their separate relationship end. Surround yourself with friends ways.

There seems to be the largest number of break ups, however, leading into the Christmas holiday season. If people don’t feel their relationship is worthy of bringing their partner to spend the holidays with their family, they tend to break it off. It’s the real “make it or break it” time.
So, is there really a break up season? I’m not convinced of that. I am, however, of the belief that there are times when breaking up seems to be more likely. Like anything else, relationships are subject to human emotion and life fluctuations. Invest the time to take good care of your relationship, if you want to keep it, and you should be able to survive the hills and valleys If you feel your relationship is experiencing a rough that come up. patch around one of these times, it’s a good idea to

You’ve been together for a little while now. You feel like the relationship is going well. You’ve been spending a lot of time at each other’s houses. Maybe it’s time to have the talk. You know, sit down and decide if you can actually live together. Spending lots of time with each other is one thing. Staying over at each other’s houses is comfortable and, at times, simply convenient. But, living together is something entirely different. Before making this big decision, you might want to sit down and talk about how it might look if you lived together. How would you split costs? Everything down the middle, or would someone be responsible for housing costs and the other groceries/bills etc.? Who will handle the cleaning? Will you do pink jobs and blue jobs or is one person the cleaner and the other the cook? Do you tend to need a spotless home or can you handle a bit of clutter? It may seem silly to sit down and discuss all the nitty gritty but it’s sometimes those little things that build up and cause problems later for people living together. There’s no doubt that love and attraction are important in a relationship but
being able to mesh your lives together, under the same roof, is a huge accomplishment. There are obviously some tough logistics to figure out when discussing living together, but the benefits are pretty great too. Waking up next to your person every morning and snuggling on the couch in the evenings, are definite perks. Sharing costs and cleaning duties can also be positives. Having all your stuff with you and not having to pack to stay overnight, also beneficial. If you feel like moving in with your partner is the next step, that can be both exciting and a bit scary. It’s best to openly discuss your concerns and or fears. Perhaps just mentioning them will help to reduce nerves and up the excitement factor. Don’t go into it thinking it will be all rainbows and butterflies. Living with another human being - coordinating and sharing - can be a challenge, especially if it’s your first time. Don’t give up, though, because it is bound to get better, amazing even, once you get into the groove together!

As relationships morph and grow, our feelings can change. All relationships go through highs and lows, some more than others. When you are in a period of highs, you know exactly what it is that you love about your partner. Those low times, however, can be very tough. It can be hard to remember why you got into the relationship in the first place. At what point is it easier to cash in your chips and call it a loss? I suppose that question needs to be clarified. If you’re in a relatively new relationship and have very little invested in the relationship and you’re finding yourself unhappy, miserable, etc., it’s easier to just leave! If you’re in a long term relationship, children, shared property and memories are involved, it’s important to consider the costs both financially and emotionally. In long term relationships, with a great deal of depth, there are obvious deal breakers some people have set for themselves. To some, infidelity, abuse or untreated addiction are deal breakers. In these situations, it’s likely easier to leave than to live in misery. If your partner simply has the most annoying traits ever (according to you!) like leaving dirty dishes in the sink for days, paying the bills late (chronically) or sitting on their ass while you do everything, the decision becomes slightly tougher. Staying with someone might seem like the easier option initially
but over time you might find that you are losing yourself and constantly unhappy and bitter. This is not okay. Even though leaving might seem overwhelming and impossible, it might be best. Leaving can also seem easier at times. Perhaps it feels like if you just left this person you could be happy. Sometimes this simply isn’t the case. Maybe you need to consider that the grass isn’t always greener in reality. You might simply need a reminder about what it is you loved about this person in the first place and what needs to change in order to get some of that happiness back. Life carries on whether we are ready or not. People change and grow, go through tough times and times of peace. The most important thing to remember is that your partner is meant to be just that, a partner. You should stand by one another in times of happiness and sadness, frustration and joy. It may seem easier to leave, run away, forget your worries or it may seem easier to stay and settle for mediocre. Only you know what you need to feel good and to feel loved and safe. Only you know what you can handle and what will ultimately break you. Be sure to consider the long term, not just the now, when making the decision if you should stay or go.

We’ve all been there; down on ourselves, feeling bad about choices we’ve made, unhappy with our appearance, and even just about our general lives. Here are some things you can do on your journey of self-love and self-acceptance. Celebrate your strengths. For most of us, I’m sure it’s easier said than done, but give it a try! Of course, it’s easier for all of us to see our shortcomings or faults, but I assure you, as you learn to celebrate what you ARE capable of, you’ll start to celebrate all of you. Make a list if you have to. Write down that you had a great day, that you’re super generous, or that you’re a loyal friend. Anything to help YOU see that you have so much potential. When you start to clear the weeds around your perceived downfalls, you’ll see that you’re truly an amazing person. Challenge your inner critic. You know, the little voice you hear when you think you’re having a bad day? The one that tells you that you’re not good enough or pretty enough or smart enough? Silence it. Would you say those things to a friend or loved one? I don’t think so, so don’t do it to yourself either.
Forgive yourself. We all make mistakes. Some of them are bigger than others, some; only we see. If you start to forgive yourself for the negative things you’ve done, said, or been around, you’ll slowly feel the weight come off your shoulders, allowing you to not only feel lighter, but spread light around you. Look deeply into your circle of friends. Are the people that you surround yourself with on a day to day basis bringing you down or adding to your awesomeness? If all they’re doing is making you feel badly, you need to get rid of them. As hard as it sounds, taking the negatives out of the equation will enable you to live a positive, happy life. Surround yourself with people who will bring out the best in you, who will reflect the energy that you put out. Be good to yourself. Eat good food, get out in the fresh air, dance around the house. Whatever feels good to YOU, do it. You’ll start seeing positive changes and this will make you step back and take a look at yourself. Before you know it, you will see yourself as the rest of the world does.
It has been said that only 10% of self-defence is physical; the rest is being aware of your surroundings and taking preventative measures to ensure that you stay safe. Protecting yourself isn’t always about the physical side of things either. In this article, I will list some of the things that you can do to protect yourself physically, sexually, and online. Online: First, creating strong and hard to guess passwords should help to ensure that you are not the target of hackers in your accounts, be it social media, email, or banking. Create something with letters, numbers, capital letters, and try to make your password more than 6 characters long. If you’re doing any online shopping, make sure that whatever site you are purchasing from has a secure server (most will say “verified by”, or “secured with) which enables you to enter your banking or credit card information without fear of it being stolen across the wires. Try to ensure that every computer in your home has an antivirus software installed. This will not only cut down on pop-ups, but it should allow you to safely surf, play, and use your computer without problem or viruses. Physical: Some simple, common sense tricks for protecting yourself physically would be to make sure that you’re not out late alone at night or in the early morning. Of course, there are times when it’s inevitable, or that life just happens, so make sure that you’re keenly aware of your surroundings and keep to well lit areas that have a chance of being populated while you’re there. If you think you are being followed, cross the street, switch directions or pop into a storefront. If said person continues to follow you, don’t be afraid to yell for help.
Try to look as confident as possible. Attackers generally look for someone who looks meek and mild, or who could be an easy target. Always be aware of your surroundings, put away your phone, stand tall and pay attention. Sexual: Never accept a drink from a stranger. If someone offers to buy you a drink and you accept, watch the bartender make it and make sure it comes straight to your hands from theirs, this will eliminate any chance a predator has to spike your drink. In that same breath, always keep your hands on your own beverage, or try to cover the top of your cup with your hand so you will notice if it’s being tampered with. Trust your own instincts. If your gut is telling you that someone’s just not right, or you get a weird feeling in the pit of your stomach, it’s okay to leave. Your body is a magical temple that can usually give you a vibe about your surroundings. If the party seems to be getting out of control and you think it’s time to leave, make sure someone knows where you’re going and get straight home. If you’re headed on a first time date, make sure someone knows who you’re going with, where you’re going, and be prepared to call a friend to bail you out if things feel sketchy. There’s no shame in cutting it short and getting out of there if the vibe doesn’t feel right or if you’re being pressured into doing anything that you don’t want to do.
It’s Time To
Get Healthy! BY JENNIFER RICHARD
Too often in our society, we judge people based on their looks and weight. What most people tend to forget though, is that just because you’re skinny or bigger, doesn’t mean you’re unhealthy. I know a lot of super skinny people that look amazing but are the epitome of bad health. I also know a lot of larger people that are the picture of health. It’s not the number on the scale that determines someone’s worth. Exercise is an amazing thing. It keeps you active, keeps you healthy, and keeps you energized. It also has amazing anti-aging properties. Remember, though, that exercise alone can’t get you to lose weight. Eating right is the only way that you’ll lose weight or gain muscle.
inside, you’ll start to see results on the outside. Being healthy shouldn’t be just about looking hot while you’re naked, it should be a lifestyle. It’s a constant choice to make healthy decisions, to stay active, to do what feels right for your body. Your thighs touch? Go girl! You have defined muscles? Awesome! Don’t let society judge you on your appearance, let yourself judge how you feel. Be healthy, be fit, be awesome!
It’s okay to indulge in that cookie or piece of cake, it’s alright if you have some pizza on Friday night. Just remember to balance it out with healthy meals and portion control. For all of those “nothing tastes as good as skinny feels” posts, there are thousands of young men and women who are scrolling through their news feeds, tumbler, or pinterest and feeling bad about themselves. Let’s not let those posts and photos dictate your life. There is not one ideal body type out there. Sure, YOU may have a preference, but just because that girl weighs 200 pounds, doesn’t mean that she is unhealthy. Muscle weighs more than fat so if you’re exercising regularly and eating well but not losing numbers on the scale, don’t be deterred. You’ll FEEL the difference, you’ll see it in the mirror, you’ll be able to tell by the way your clothes feel. Be real! If you are meant to have curves, it doesn’t matter what the numbers say, you’re going to have curves. If you’re meant to be skinny, your metabolism has a lot to do with that and you’ll be skinny.
