Beating The Winter Fashion Blues

Tired of winter? Who isn’t — except maybe pro-snowboarder Shaun Palmer and pro-skier Shane McConkey.

Even people who make their living off of winter, like tire salesmen, chimney sweeps, and snowplow drivers, can’t seem to wait for the frosty days to end. Fortunately there’s one good thing about cold weather: winter fashion.  It’s just fun, with all the layers and bold colors, not to mention the furry lambskin boots.

This time of year, every glossy cover of Elle, Vogue, and Mademoiselle makes me dream of looking like one of those glam girls wrapped up in a delectable sweater and plush boots. Unfortunately every time I try to mimic one of those magazine looks, everything goes astray.

Just this week I tried the tight jeans-bulky sweater-chunky boots look.  It looked winter, but it didn’t work for winter. I fought with every jacket in my closet, trying to cajole one to button over my new oversized turtleneck sweater.  I was relieved when I finally got my pea coat to close, but the relief washed away when I bustled over to the mirror to see that I looked about 7 months pregnant.

All the layering would be great — if I was studying polar bears in the Arctic for the day. I wasn’t. I was on my way to work.  I made a quick stop at the coffee shop, and the second I walked in, I started overheating.  By the time I got to the counter, I could smell my perspiration starting to mix with the wool of the sweater.  I like the natural beauty look, but I’m not fond of the smell. I was waiting for my mocha and madly fanning myself with a menu, when I glanced down to see that my new furry boots had nearly been ruined by the rock salt scattered on the city sidewalks.

After all the time I spent buying, planning, and putting on my new outfit, my sparkly chandelier earrings were the only thing that survived the morning. They were the least expensive part of my attire, and I got compliments on them all day. Apparently a little twinkle makes people feel good.

Like any smart woman, I resort to black in the wintertime despite what the houses of haute couture scream at us about wearing more color. Black looks good day or night, and for a girl on the run, it doesn’t require much thought.  The best thing about black is that it hides all types of flaws, like those caused by eating an entire pumpkin cheesecake on Thanksgiving.  But black is not only thinning; it’s a great palette for accessories.  

This year, women have a lot of jewelry options.  You can fall back on the old basic of diamonds.  Or you can try this winter’s exciting new collections of colored pearls and shells.  They look fabulous with black, and they can be as dressy as a diamond necklace, while offering more personality and flare. You can also highlight your eye color with a similar colored necklace.  Nothing is more beautiful than a pair of sapphire blue eyes with a matching necklace.  

Rhinestones are always a holiday favorite.  This season, designers are using them with fiber optic glass and silver. It’s a new take on a jeweler’s staple.  Red stones can highlight the flushed skin and rosy cheeks of winter. And the fiber optics in the glass makes the necklaces, earrings, and bracelets glow. The combination creates a look that no one will forget.

And something that will always go with black, more black.  Onyx is a gorgeous stone that when highlighted with silver can make a simple black sweater and slacks into a classic cosmopolitan look.  Dangly onyx earrings are stunning with pulled back hair.  Onyx is great because it can go with almost anything.  It makes red more refined, pink more subdued, and white more exotic.  

So don’t let gray skies and stale snow keep you from feeling beautiful.  Next time you go to your closet and feel bummed out about having to squeeze your outfit under your jacket, toss on a gorgeous pair of earrings.  Everyone will notice them, even with your jacket on.  And unlike that oversized sweater, you can keep wearing them when the warm spring days finally return.

Zig Zag Blunt Wraps!!! ASSORTED FLAVORS = AWESOME DEAL!!!

He seems to be and is?

He dresses in every hue of blue
with his pair of thinning jeans
he is the boy
constantly flicking his ebony hair
out of those
gorgeously enticing blue eyes
which dance whith his inviting smile
the smile that lurks in the corners
of your memory
forever playing on your heartstring
like a foriegn harpist

you don’t always notice him
his gentle nature
quietly watching you
as he slips through the back gate
he sldes up behind you
as your shifting through long lost memories
he wraps loving arms around you
entranced by your avid gazing into nothingness

but i
the foriegn girl
in a stranger’s world
have looked beneath
this simple apparition of a lost adolesence
and seen the saving grace
which radiates from within

this is a very nice poem. There are a few typos, a few of the line breaks are off and there are a few poor word choices…but other than that, it’s a lovely little piece. Here’s a few suggestions:

consider changing “ebony” to “ebon”, they mean the same thing and ebon falls off the tongue a little easier when used before “hair”.

“which dance whith his inviting smile”: whith should be “with”, but I’d suggest changing the line to read either “which dance above his inviting smile” or “which dance invitingly each time he smiles”…to be followed by,

“the smile that lurks in the corners
of your memory”…not bad, but maybe “the kind of smile that camps in the corners of your memory” Lurks implies a future misdeed…if that’s your intent, use “lurks”, whereas “camps” implies something that won’t go away…and “camps” has alliteration with corners. Just a thought.

“forever playing on your heartstring
like a foriegn harpist”??? okay, I would recommend “forever playing your heartstring” (drop the “on”), but “foreign” harpist? Weak…need to find a better image…”Irish harpist”, “Manic Harpist”, something other than “foreign”…too vague.

Middle stanza is a little weak, but not too bad. Look it over and trim what you can.

“but i the foreign girl”…there you go again with foreign. However, “this” time it “might” be okay if you told us why “foreign” is bad. You could have said, “but I, the new girl” or “but I, the outsider” or “but I, the distant girl”, but foreign is too weak and ambiguous.

Finally, is “he” just an apparition after all? Is he just a memory? If so, cool…if not, then apparition is the wrong word as used.

There is beauty in your poem. I like it, but it needs a little editing.

You’ll be fine, just keep writing

Starting Strength Workout Program – Do These Function Strength Training Workouts at Any Time of Day

Starting Strength Workout Program

There are a great many variables that determine what type of workout is best for you and most feasible to work into your set of circumstances. Things like weight, experience, the equipment they have, and their body type can determine their workouts. Unfortunately, far too many people start a workout routine only to get bored a few weeks in due to the repetitive movements and actions they have to make. Over time, people start making up reasons to not exercise. You might find all manner of excuses – a malfunctioning treadmill, or lack of open stationary bikes. Starting Strength Workout Program

Here are some suggestions as to how you can go further with your basic workouts to make them more interesting and convenient in order to help you perform functional strength exercises. Don’t fall into the trap of thinking that weight training or cardiovascular exercise are restricted to activities performed in a gym since the definition of “weight training” is lifting ANY weight and “cardiovascular exercise” is movement of ANY sort.

Your functional strength training program should never be determined by the availability of a gym or any piece of exercise equipment. A lot of people spend quite a bit of time thinking about which exercise machine they should buy to use in their houses. Truth be told, no special equipment is required for an effective workout. You have all the equipment you need with just your body weight, which is a superior machine to help you perform functional strength workouts that will increase your strength and durability.

When you do functional strength training, you are just participating in exercises that can be done by anyone without the need of a gym. It is generally accepted that, worldwide, many people find it a struggle to touch their toes 10 times, or perform 5 regular push-ups. Unfortunately, these days, convenience and technology has caused us to be sedentary and we cannot even lift our own body weight when doing some basic exercises. As a result, you should start with functional strength training in your workouts, as you learn to move your body in a full range of motion effectively and effortlessly. In a nutshell, you need to be able to do squats and pushups effectively before you can even think about starting to weight train and pump up your arms at the gym.

Another fact is that a lot of people who cannot perform basic functional strength movements with just their body weight have probably suffered an injury of some kind, or have not exercised regularly for a particular reason. People who are involved regularly in sports of any kind will tell you that functional strength exercises are extremely vital to keep the body fit enough to reduce the chances of getting hurt. Surprising as it may seem, athletes unable to balance themselves during a single body weight step-up are still able to perform squats with wights of 100 kilograms. This is due to the fact that balancing on a single leg is required to perform a step-up.

People who are more active will vastly increase the chances that they will injure themselves if they cannot maintain proper balance and bodily control, which these stepups can help hone. It is for this reason that you should heavily consider functional strength training; your balance at least will improve, which is incredibly important. If you want to learn more about great functional strength training exercise programs, keep reading to find a sample program that will help you lose weight and get better balance. As you do functional strength training exercises, you have to keep in mind that you have to focus on form more than anything, and improperly done exercises will do you no good.

Depending on your endurance and strength levels, you can do between three to five sets of thirty to sixty seconds worth of each functional strength training exercise. Starting Strength Workout Program

1. Burpee Chin-Ups
2. Step Push-Ups
3. Towel Charges
4. Get-Ups
5. Push-Up Holds
6. Wall Holds

The Exercises Explained

Burpee Chin-Ups – Start this functional strength training exercise standing upright, with your hands relaxed and by your sides. Squat until you feel your hands touch the floor, then thrust your legs out behind you, keeping your arms straight to support your body. Then pull your legs forwards until you are in a squatting position again, and jump up to grip the chin-up bar. Using the momentum from your jump, do a single close-grip underhand chin-up then release the bar and repeat everything. If a chin-up bar is not available, you can also perform this functional strength training exercise as a simple burpee exercise without the added chin-ups.

Step Push-Ups – Begin with your body in the plank position with your arms straight, just in front of a step. Making sure your hips stay flat, move your one hand onto the step, followed by the other hand. Then move one hand back down followed by the other. That completes a single repetition of this functional strength training exercise.

Towel Charges – For this functional strength training exercise you will need two towels that you don’t mind dirtying. Get into the plank position with your arms straight, and put each of your feet on top of a towel. Keeping your lower back as straight as possible, slowly slide one knee up to touch your chest, then slide it back behind you. Do the same with your other leg.

Get-Ups – Hold a single dumbbell above your head and lie down flat on the floor. Keeping the dumbbell above your head at all times, bend your knees and get them under your body so you can bring yourself up into a squatting position. From your squatting position push yourself up until you are standing straight, then sink back down into a squat and back to you beginning position. That completes a single repetition of this functional strength training exercise.

Push-Up Holds – Begin in the plank position with your arms straight, then lower your body in a regular push-up. Hold your body in this position for whatever amount of time you stipulate for yourself, then push yourself back up to your starting position. If you find that you are unable to hold the push-up for the set amount of time, push yourself back up and recover instead of letting yourself fall to the ground.

Wall Holds – The starting position for this functional strength training exercise is essentially the plank position with your arms straight, only your feet are placed flat against a wall. This means that your arms will be supporting most of your weight. Hold your body in this position for the set amount of time or as long as you can, before returning back to the regular plank position. Starting Strength Workout Program
