Creating "Me-Time"



The hardest thing for many of us women is to take time for ourselves.  We are usually so busy making sure everyone else is cared for that we forget we need to care for ourselves.  Worse yet - many of us feel guilty when we take some "me time".

This week try taking some time to do something just for yourself - do some extra stretches, read a positive article, try a new beauty regime, or just meditate.  Taking a little bit of time each day can make a big difference in the way we feel and this translates to the way we look and what we accomplish!  We have to look good and feel good so we can do great!

Have a great week!

The 6 Most Important Elements of Personal Style


There has been much written about “personal style”.  In fact, I always start work with my clients asking them to identify their own personal style.  I ask them what style they identify with most -  Classic, Romantic, Creative, Dramatic, or Natural.  

But just taking a step back, I think there are a few basic elements of style that everyone needs to be aware of as these are essential to great personal style!

  1. Confidence:  with your body, your roles, the people you associate with
  2. Appropriateness:  for the location/culture, your age, the occasion
  3. Body language;  how you hold and carry yourself
  4. Cleanliness:  in your appearance and talk
  5. Respect and Courtesy: how you treat others
  6. Authenticity:  being your authentic self
With warm wishes,
