When renovating a small space you must remember that dark colors will only make the space look even smaller.  You should always get pieces of furniture that will make the room appear larger than it really is.  Your walls should be a lighter color and you baseboards and crown molding should pop this will make the room look longer and taller.  Make sure that the room is a reflection of you and your personality because if it isn't you will never enjoy spending time in it.  And, you renovated the space so that you would be able to enjoy it and show it off to friends and family.  It takes time to figure out how you want the space to look and the pieces of furniture you really want so before you take on the project plan, plan and plan some more.  Because if you don't know where you are going with the renovation you will surely go over the budget.  And, once you have made up your mind don't change it because that will only make the renovation go on longer than you or the contracto

Ladies, let's talk about how you wear your make-up.  Make up should be an accent not a whole new face for you.  Me and a girlfriend were talking the other day about how some women wear to much make-up to the point where if they decided to go a day without make-up you would never know who they were. What we were saying is when you have on make up it shouldn't be the only thing that people talk about when they see you come in a room or leave out of a room.  There's lots of bold colors for you to wear but you need to think about what and how you put make-up on.  Your make-up should be light and natural it should never and I mean never look like it's just layered on your face.  This is when it look likes you are hiding something like bad skin, uneven skin tone, etc..  Also, you must clean your brushes at least once a week and change out your make-up at least 3 to 4 months.  Bacteria is something you need to be aware of because it can cause your skin to break out and that

"The Way You Dress is the Standard that You Set for Yourself..."

Fashion is expensive, Style isn't:   Some of the most stylish girls I know are certainly not the wealthiest.  Ironically, it's ofter the girls with less money who seem to understand style the best.  Maybe it's because they are forced to be picky and can't slavishly follow the trends.  Maybe it's because they have perfected the art of mixing their more expensive items with their cheaper finds.  Or maybe it's because they know where to splurge and where to save. Cheap Thrills: White Hanest T-Shirts:   Laid back and great for mixing.  Best when taken from your boyfriend's or husband's drawer L.L. Bean Tote:   Simple, chic, and functional A White Button Up:   Will go with anything Khaki Pants:   Perfectly classic. Just don't go pleated Vintage Pieces :   Cheapest when taken from your mother's closet

I think not.  However, you can't afford everything, so here is some advice to help you choose what to put in your closet and what to just lust after in the shop. Platform Soles    Platform Soles are an absolute godsend for any woman.  They allow you the sky scraping height o a serious stiletto, but with some much needed added comfort.  Here's how it works:  the extra height given by the platform sole of the shoe is taken off the ridiculous height of the heel.  Straps Ankle straps may add security when you're out and about, but they have a horrible habit of turning your lovely ankles into thick, and chunky.  An ankle strap is perfectly great as long as it's at the top of your foot, well under your ankle.  No higher!!!
