We all know that our image has a major impact on others. However, most people give little consideration to the reality that image has an even greater effect on the wearer.

What happens when you feel bad about how you look? Does it affect your confidence and behavior? Do you hide out, avoid speaking up, or acting with power? How much does that cost you, your family, business, or employer?

It’s not you, it’s the clothes! Most women have developed dressing habits that hide their

assets instead of enhancing them. In an effort to camouflage imperfections, they accidentally magnify their flaws or wear oversized clothing that makes them look 10, 20 or even 30 pounds heavier.

The easiest way to make yourself look thinner, is to dress in a way that makes you look taller. Think about it this way, a 150 pound woman who is 5 feet 9 inches tall looks thinner than a 5 foot tall woman of the same weight. The right clothes can literally change your body right before your eyes.

Get Taller To Look ThinnerBy Sarah Shah, National TV Image Expert, Author & Speaker

“You can reveal the beauty of your body just by changing your clothes”

Sarah Shah

Here are some ways to dress taller. The more “vertical” strategies you use at once, the thinner you will look. Choose and combine any or all of the following:

• Wear scoop or “V” necklines to reveal your throat or décolleté.

• Choose fabrics with vertical or diagonal stripes. Anything from subtle pin stripes to wide bold stripes will work.

• Clothes with built-in vertical lines, such as princess seams, fringe details or corduroy fabric create the same effect as vertical stripes.

• Create vertical lines by tying long, thin scarves around the neck or waist or wearing long jewelry, such as pendants, lariat necklaces or even dangling earrings.

• All deep colors are slimming. You aren’t limited to wearing all black. Create a monochromatic or monotone look by wearing tops and bottoms in the same color, intensity or shade. Experiment with colors like burgundy, navy, charcoal, gray, brown, green or purple. Mix them up or just wear one color from head to toe.

• Create vertical hairstyles, such as up-dos, high ponytails, half-up, half-down styles or straight hairstyle. Your hairstylist will be able to guide you to a style that works for your face.

• Lengthen pants so the hems are about 1-inch above the floor behind your heel. You might need different lengths of pants for flat shoes and high-heels.

• When wearing skirts or shorts, choose shoes that are the color of your skin. In cold weather, choose shoes that are the color of your tights or hosiery.

• Wear shoes with heels or platform soles, even !-inch makes a difference. Look for shoes with a low vamp (the upper part of the shoe) to reveal the skin on the top of your foot.

You don’t need a diet to see a beautiful body in the mirror. You are already beautiful today, as you are. You can reveal the beauty of your body, just by changing your clothes. And if you are on a weight-loss program, these strategies will help you recognize your results faster. Play and experiment with these strategies to see which ones are most inspiring and comfortable for you. You’ll be amazed by how much more powerful you feel!

Q: What is mineral makeup anyway?

A: Advanced Mineral Makeup is a cosmeceutical (pharmaceutical grade) makeup that is pure and contains no chemicals, dyes, preservatives, talc, binders, perfumes or fillers.

Q: When selecting a mineral foundation, what should you look for?

A: When selecting a foundation, look at the undertone of your skin. Is it yellow, neutral or a slight combination of yellow and pink? To find the right shade for your skin tone, select three colors and apply them side by side on your face. The perfect shade for you is the one that will disappear into your skin when applied.

Q: Do I apply Advanced Mineral Makeup differently than conventional makeup?

A: Advanced Mineral makeup is 100% pigment, so you should apply it sparingly with our liquid foundation brush until desired coverage it achieved. Apply loose mineral powders on top of liquid foundation for extra coverage and sun protection or loose powder can be used alone applied with AM Kabuki brush.

Be Your Own Kind of BeautifulInterview with Lori Yeats, Owner at Soteria Skin

What does “Being Your Own Kind of Beautiful” mean to you?It certainly means different things to different people. As a ʻboomerʼ, in this wonderful land of opportunity, I am in the midst of assessing my wrinkles and sags, and have found myself focusing far too much on the outward. I canʼt deny that thees last 10 years have been shocking at times, looking in the mirror and seeing new lines, watching the face begin to droop, and feeling like i just need a little tuck here and there and then Iʼd feel good about myself. Does seeing lines around the eyes and growing older, have to be so seemingly damaging to my opinion of who I am? Maybe my face is saying I am growing wiser, and have laughed a bit more than I have cried and have these crazy lines on my face to show it.

How did you come to embrace this motto?Anti-aging is a bit of a misnomer, because of course, the clock is still ticking. Last time I checked, aging is not listed as a contagious disease. We are more than the airbrushed, photo shopped faces and bodies that abound on the front of so many magazines. Yet there are times it has shocked me to see a certain movie star who has opted against plastic surgery, with lines on her face and signs of her age

beginning to creep in. Insteadof being shocked, I should be applauding her bravado at staying true to herself. I believe that aging shouldnʼt be a negative in the sense that some of us have taken it, including yours truly at times.

What do you do at Soteria Skin to help women discover their own beauty?At Soteria Skin, in Houston, we are taking on the challenge to “Be Your Own Kind of Beautiful.” We have formed it as our philosophy, with the vision to helping a woman be the uniquely beautiful person she is. We have a variety of non-invasive technological advanced systems that lift, brighten, rejuvenate, and tighten, all with the utmost care and relaxation that is important to your well being. We hope to bring the power of intelligent, scientifically driven treatments with the gift of genuine care and acceptance. Then we have the wonderful power of touch through therapeutic massage and the deep healing it can bring. A hopeful mix of the holistic without disregarding the technology to enhance the real you.

What advice do you have for women on the path to aging gracefully.I invite you to stop, take a deep breath, know you are uniquely beautiful within and without. As you mature, realize that age brings wisdom and you have more of a capacity to give of that wisdom to others. Do what you authentically need to do to stay in that realm of well being and health. Enjoy your family and friends, connect with your spirit, bless others, and direct your lives with purpose. Focus your thoughts and energy on that which is uplifting and good, and know that there is grace for the journey.

Lori Yeats started Soteria Skin with the client in mind. After struggling with her own skin concerns for many years, and finding the answer through the beauty of skin care and technology, she decided to share her passion with others. Lori’s desire is that you can walk into a room feeling fully confident that your skin looks the best it can be.

tap this source, you will truly have defeated age."
