Hyaluronic Acid and Ceramides. For plump skin cells nothing beats hyaluronic acid, which draws moisture from the air and holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water. In addition to hyaluronic acid, Jeannette Graf, MD, author of Stop Aging, Start Living, says that ceramides also help maintain hydration. A powerful new formula that includes both: Estée Lauder Time Zone Anti-Line/Wrinkle Eye Crème.

Retinol. “Anybody who can tolerate retinoic acid should use it,” says dermatologist Doris Day, MD. A vitamin A derivative, retinol stimulates cell turnover and collagen production, helping to strengthen skin and reduce complexion imperfections like sun spots and fine lines. Just remember that a little goes a long way; retinol creams make skin more sun-sensitive and can be overly drying, so apply sparingly before bedtime only. To get your nightly retinol dose, Day suggests Olay Professional Pro-X Eye Restoration Complex.

Neuropeptides. Supersensitive skin types might opt for a peptide-packed eye cream instead of a retinoic acid one. Like retinol, neuropeptides also stimulate collagen and elastin production, but are gentler on the dermis. “In studies applying various neuropeptide preparations directly to the skin, exciting clinical benefits were observed almost immediately upon application,” says Nicholas Perricone, MD. “There was visible improvement of the skin’s resilience, tone, and texture.” Try Perricone MD Neuropeptide Eye Contour to brighten your baby blues and for a double dose of peptides, look for Smashbox Halo Hydrating Perfecting Eye Shadow (available next month).

Vitamins C and E. Besides vitamin A (in the form of topical retinol), vitamins C and E are also potent antiaging ingredients. While vitamin C aids in collagen production and skin elasticity, vitamin E soothes and protects. MD Skincare Hydra-Pure Firming Eye Cream contains all three wrinkle-fighting vitamins

Let’s face it. No matter how much progress we make, we’re still going to have “bad days.”

You know the ones. When the old critical voices are milling about drinking martinis and eating crab puffs in your head. You try to send them all away with your favorite powerful affirmation, but only a few of them even look up – and one of them turns away and lights a cigarette.

What do you do when no matter what you do, you just feel awful?

Very few success-gurus talk about the bad day, or even the process of following your dreams and the persistence it takes to shift old patterns.

Truth is, sometimes it helps to hear someone be honest about this stuff. Not so that you can indulge in self-pity about how hard you have it. But so that when the bad day strikes, you have some leverage.

So, how do you survive a bad day?

Here’s a few things that might help…

WHAT TO REMEMBER:

1 – The voices do not tell the truth.

They’re just your old voices coming up to feed. Do not feed them. This is what makes them stay. Even if you’re already hooked in, the best way to begin the unhooking is to rest, or to be very kind to you.

2 – This is not who you are.

The voices like to tell you that this depressed person is who you really are and that the rest of the world doesn’t have these same flaws. Not true. This is just a temporary set back. That’s all.

3 – Mochaccinos don’t take the voices away. It just makes them go faster.

Bad Days are not a call to rush out to Starbucks, hoping that if you move faster, it will all go away. If there’s any action that needs to be taken now, it’s probably a nap.

4 – You don’t have to be productive today.

It’s okay to put down your goals and to-dos for one day. You can return to them tomorrow. Today, make it your goal to just get through the day being kind to yourself. Think of it as a sick day. Maybe there’s no PROOF – like a fever. But your insides are sick. Let them heal.

5 – Everything seems worse when you’re tired or hungry.

Eat something yummy. Take a nap. Or go somewhere and sit quietly.

WHAT TO DO:

1 – Stop feeling bad about feeling bad.

If it helps, make today a container. Know that you’re allowed to have this stuff and that nothing horrid is going to happen with this one day of getting thrown off.

2 – Make no decisions.

The late Richard Carlson, author and psychologist, gave this great advice: “Never make decisions when you’re in a low mood.” His belief was that low moods are a natural occurrence and that any low-mood decisions are typically not healthy. Put off all decisions when you’re having a bad day.

3 – Don’t read fashion magazines. Or the news.

4 – Take a 20 minute walk.

Bring a gentle affirmation along with you. On days like this you don’t want to say, “I am master of the universe!!!” On days like this you want to say, “I am loved. I am safe.”

5 – Don’t try to fix yourself today.

No need to rush to the Self-Help section at Borders. Maybe steps you can take toward being healthier in the big picture, but not today. Today, let yourself stop.

6 – Lower your standards.

If you get out of bed, or eat a good healthy meal, be proud. Tomorrow you can have your old high standards back and be productive and evolved and all that. Not today.

7 – Say NO to anything if it’s motivated by the word “should.”

This is a good rule to follow on good days too!

8 – Ask yourself what you feel like doing.

Sometimes the answer to this can be surprising. Maybe you’ll want to begin a fiction audiobook and clean your closet! Maybe you’ll just want a nap.

9 – Don’t do anything destructive.

Don’t overdose on sugar or indulge in alcohol. Don’t call anyone who drains you. It will not make this better.

WHAT TO BE:

Be very, very kind to yourself.

Be the way you would be with someone who is sad or hurting or scared. Because today, you are.

WHAT TO KNOW:

That the victory is not about not having bad days anymore. The victory is that you can get back up after having one.

Bow Headbands

Bow headbands are one of the most adventurous headbands because bows hold a feminine charm that’s both sassy and childish. Bows are cute but at the same time alluring, as it connotes something that needs to be unwrapped and unraveled. Bows on dresses are pretty enough, so how about bows on your head?

During ordinary days, bow headbands are cute and may be wearable everyday as long as they’re of negligible size. Bow headbands for school was even made famous by a modern fashion icon, Gossip Girl’s Blair Waldorf. They’re best for girls who want to exude the preppy charm.

For additional oomph, you can add crystals on your bow headbands or get them in regal textures like satin or silk. They look best with sexy footwear.

Feather Headbands

For girls who are ready to become instant head turners, feather headbands on their halo territory is one great fashion stunt. Feathers headbands instantly expand the area that your head covers so if you look good, then you will really be difficult to ignore…let alone forget.

Feather headbands are advised for girls who want to simply accentuate a rather bland outfit. If your dress is heavily detailed, we do not advise that you wear feather headbands. But if your dress is just simple and with minimal detail and it needs something loud for it to stand out, feather headbands in complimentary colors will surely do your look justice. Pair with an equally pretty hand bag.

Other Tips for Wearing Exotic Headbands

For bow headbands, bold eye make up is okay, or lip make up. Do not do both, and keep your cheeks neutral or with a little hint of blush only. Since your “head dress” is already loud, don’t tip the balance over and make do with a less fierce face. For feather headbands, you can compliment them with a little daring make up, like stick-on crystals by the eyelids or sparkling mascara. But just keep the blush quiet and the lips just enough to look healthy.

Hair-up is great for those who wear feather headbands because the feathers have the same texture of the hair. Besides, if you let down your hair, your head will just look “bulky”. You get the point. Hair-down, on the other hand, looks great with bow headbands, and here’s the kicker: it doesn’t matter if your hair is wavy, curly or straight. Bow headbands look just like the ones that you use to keep something off (like a bow tie in general) while feather headbands are more “in your face” that’s why hair-up is preferred for the latter.

Since both head bands (bow headbands and feather headbands) are quite daring and risky to pull off, do not wear loud pieces when you’re not sure of it. If you can, ask the opinion of your trusted friends or someone who has a good taste in fashion. If you’re in doubt, don’t do it. Instead, make do with classics that always work—thin headbands with crystals, headbands in layers or headbands which have similar material as jewelry (gold or silver). This also goes for the other accessories that you wear with it. Remember that you will wear it on your head. That’s a place where people will surely see. If you already make a bad impression there, you’ll have a hard time coping for that when the evidence is as glaring as a bright headpiece.

By now, you must already be itching to try on a chic exotic headpiece such as feather headbands that advertise a royal mardi gras or bow headbands which will look charming on your equally angelic face. Just remember to not overdo the fashion statement and that you must be comfortable wearing it. No matter how pretty it looks, if it’s too expensive, too tight, not right for your skin or hair color or the material itches, just ditch the idea. You don’t need to suffer to be beautiful.

Headbands have been showing up a lot in the fashion scene in the last few years, and it is no wonder with the huge variety of colors, types, and styles that can be found online and through wholesale fashion head band suppliers. Headbands can give you and your outfit a whole new and fashionable look and appearance, and these accessories can be found by the thousands. Have fun, and choose headbands that you like and enjoy. These accessories can be plain and very simple, or they can be extravagant and elaborate, depending on your needs and preferences. Some headbands are decorated, and this can be done with shells, crystals, feathers, crystals, gems, and precious materials, depending on what you are looking for and how much you are willing to pay.

Head bands can help you eliminate bad hair days, because it is impossible for your hair to look bad when there is a fashionable headband in it attracting attention and giving you the look and sense of style and elegance. Thin metallic headbands are really hot right now, and these sparkling and glittering headbands can help you add a touch of glamor to any outfit no matter how casual or dressy. These headbands look just as good when you are wearing jean or shorts and sneakers as they do on the red carpet at a Hollywood premiere event. No matter what design and style of headbands you prefer, these fashion accessories will help you guarantee that you always look your best and are never caught under dressed or accessorized.

While treating yourself to a facial or chemical peel at your skin care specialist’s office can be a relaxing, rejuvenating experience, giving yourself skin treatments at home can be rewarding for your skin and wallet. There are plenty of reasons why at-home skin treatments are a great choice for many individuals.

Natural, Known Ingredients

Health-conscious people know that many skin care products and treatments can expose the skin to artificial preservatives and chemicals. Creating your own skin care treatments at home with natural ingredients can help you avoid allergic reactions and ensure that your skin gets only the best. Educating yourself about the different ingredients you can use and the results they deliver will help you design the best treatment for your skin’s unique needs.

Inexpensive Options

Many at-home skin treatment recipes call for ingredients you may already have in your refrigerator. These ingredients can often be used in a variety of recipes, applicable to many different areas of the body. Choosing home treatments for your skin care can help your stay within a budget, or save up for more high-end treatments with your skin care specialist.

Effective and Diverse

Recipes exist for a variety of skin care treatments, including facial masks, body masks, treatments to target dark under-eye circles, toners, moisturizers, and more. These treatments can be created using herbs and natural ingredients help improve skin concerns and detoxify. Some common ingredients and their uses are:

- Aloe gel. This is often used as a natural remedy for burns.
- Avocado. A good source of vitamin E and natural oils, avocado acts as rich, natural moisturizer.
- Coconut Milk. Helps to smooth skin.
- Cucumber. Famously used on the eye area to address dark circles, wrinkles, and puffiness.
- Milk. Naturally nourishes and moisturizes skin.
- Nuts. Frequently ground and used as an exfoliant in scrubs, nuts help open skin pores and remove blackheads.
- Citrus Fruit: These acidic fruits are natural astringents, they soften the skin, and can be used as skin or fingernail bleach.

There are many resources available for recipes and more information about the results possible with at-home skin care treatments. Be sure to discuss any skin treatments with your skin care specialist before trying them.

For people who love going to spas, there is a new trend you must try, Fish spa.

So how do fish treatments work and how do they aid in enhancing both wellness and beauty? Spas store small tropical fish called Garra Rufa, also known as doctor fish, nibble fish, Chinchin Yu, Kangal Fish and Turkey Fish, in warm pools of water or hot springs. These fish thrive in hot water from 15 degrees to 43 degree water and are used for various reasons such as for foot, facial and body treatments as well as for the natural treatment of skin disease.

The fish, as many spa goers say “kiss the skin”, ridding it of all affected and dead skin areas, leaving the healthy skin untouched to continue to grow and repair. The process is both painless and strangely wonderful, leaving behind a unique pleasant tingling sensation. Skin is left smooth, glowing and looking healthier. The fish treatments are also recognized as treatments utilized to release fatigue, increase blood circulation and aid in relaxation.

Although, using by individuals suffering from Psoriasis, fish treatments are not a cure for the disease. It is only a temporary treatment cure which can aid in preventing symptoms if repeated on a monthly basis. Nonetheless, there have been some individuals who claim to have been completely cured of Psoriasis after undergoing fish treatments.

BUY luxury, buy quality, buy something that will become an iconic piece in your wardrobe – from Miuccia’s Prada’s chandelier dresses, to Jil Sander’s raw and ripped chiffon, to Dolce’s knickers or McQueen’s metallic snakeskin marvels, to Lanvin’s most beautiful dresses ever, to Peter Pilotto’s prints, to Burberry’s trench dresses, if you buy one thing for spring/summer, make it a big story. If the recession isn’t letting up yet, buy one thing and the thrill will last.

If hemlines are to be believed as the rule of all things financial, though, things are certainly looking up – skirts are creeping up the thigh and bottom-revealing bloomers, henceforth known as hotpantaloons, first appeared in New York and bred across the fashion cities fast.

While there was a touch of sparkle in the front row of every single show, it’s a trend that is built to last and whether you wear it on your tights, on lamé socks with high heels, around your neck, woven into your chiffon evening gowns or tied to your handbag, a little bit of glitter always does a girl good. Shoes are still big statements but heels are coming down too; kitten heels have even been mentioned and so have clogs (Chanel, Celine, Louis Vuitton).

The big story for summer though, is nudity – the vast majority of shows opened with nude, ice-cream colours, making cut and drapery the big style statements as opposed to eye-popping colours. Where last summer we obsessed about colour blocking, next will be about subtleties of tone: nude with peach with washed out nutmeg, or grey with icy blue. A general lack of clothing will be approved of too – your underwear must look its best next summer because if it’s not on show it’s not worth wearing – only to be covered by swathes of knotted and ruffled sheer chiffon – and a touch of lace will keep things interesting (Stella McCartney, Fendi).

White is always a trend for summer, but 2010 is expecting a full washout – bleached cotton came tailored and masculine or bulging and ruffled. And if you want colour, make it a check (Christopher Kane, Louis Vuitton).

So what to buy, if you will be shopping? Party dresses – lots of them, to be worn day and night: with interesting (and forgiving) folds around the hip for added shape. A jumpsuit – single shouldered or strapless if you dare. Loose trousers that taper to the ankle, preferably in silk. Bring shoes down a level or two, and if you venture from the washed out palette, make it a bold, tribal or ethnic print (Dries Van Noten). A trench coat, long or short (or turned into a party dress at Burberry). A belt – skinny ribbons or wide leather versions; the waist intends to allow you to show off your curves next summer. And if your curves are that good, swimwear is teeny weeny as can be.

And everybody’s new favourite model? Australian model Abbey Lee Kershaw appeared in all the key shows, surely with plenty of ad campaigns to follow. Certainly no recession hangover for her.

Cut-Away Swimwear / Bikinis

Taking their cues from the cutaway clothing trend, cutaway monokinis are the must have piece for 2010. Infrequently demure, this is the one bikini trend that isn’t for the wall flower but can be styled to ooze both sex and sophistication without ever saying ‘easy’.

1. Not as tightly fitting as other ’spray on’ monokinis this season, Amanda Wakeley’s white one-piece pairs a deep neck line with cut-away sides.
2. A two-piece with boob-tube, this bikini by Carmen Marc uses the cut-away trend with subtlety. All the same, these cutaway briefs are more than eye catching.
3. A monokini by Carmen Marc, this swimwear piece is equally as subtle as the aforementioned two-piece, but far more demure.
4. Similar to Amanda Wakeley’s white one-piece (1) this screen-printed monokini is from Miss Sixty.
5. The most luxurious of the pieces featured, this almost-two-piece monokini from Gottex pairs a halter-neck top, joined briefs, and gold piping.
6. - 10. are all from the one catwalk which screamed sex, decadence, and youth; the one catwalk that really grabbed my eye at New York Fashion Week; Herv?© L?©ger by Max Azria Spring/Summer 2009. With enough cut-away than you can possibly wear throughout Summer, these are knock-out pieces that you’re not necessarily going to want to get wet.
