By  Sarah Naji Alyasiri Image is very powerful. It gives us conscious and unconscious impressions about any person. We may sometimes make quick judgments about the people from the way they dress; we may think these thoughts whether the person is wealthy or poor, conservative or liberal, well-educated or plain, businessmen, professors or doctors. The way the person dresses tells too much about him or her. This applies to women as well. For instance, in the Middle East, there is a conservative culture that puts some restrictions on the way a woman looks and the way a woman dresses. It is rooted either to religious obedience or traditional customs. There are strict restrictions on the way the women dress, not in all, but in some countries of the Middle East. There are some liberal countries in the Middle East where women are free to wear anything they might feel comfortable with, there are some countries that are very strict or conservative about the way women dress, and there are...

By  Carin G Hansen   Although the hype about what colors are in your color palette and what "season" you are has become passe'... there is still validity to the concept of wearing colors that are complimentary to your coloring. Trying to make each of us fit neatly into a season doesn't really work. Additionally, it is overwhelming to have 30+ "best' colors. There have been other color "systems" but generally, in the end, the information we are given is still overwhelming - either in concept or implementation - or both. The simple concepts in this article will give you the knowledge you need to make color choices easily and with confidence. The place to begin is by choosing two neutrals. These will be the building blocks for the rest of your wardrobe. Just a review: neutrals are black, white, cream, gray, brown, beige and navy. You can choose a third neutral based on a particular fashion season's colors. An example of this is beige - a colo...

Ladies, drop your bras. There is an epidemic in the lingerie industry that we need to talk about for the greater good of women everywhere. Your bra doesn't fit. There I said it. How many times have you visited a Victoria's Secret and left with an A-DD cup bra in tow? I bet you thought that those were the only standard bra sizes. I bet that when you picture double D's you think of HUGE cups. I even bet that half of you have left the store disappointed because nothing seemed to fit perfectly. Don't worry girls, I was like you once. I was like you until I realized that there was a whole side to this industry that I had never known about. I was perfectly content buying beautiful lingerie to hold my 34B boobies and didn't even give it a second thought. That was until I was introduced to the wonderful world of UK bra sizing and my life changed forever. After you read this, I hope it will change your world too. Since we were young it's been engraved in our North ...

By  E.S. Villamor   Take a very good look at the world where you are living in right now. Just turn on the living room TV and you are instantly bombarded with horrifying events all over the globe. It is rare to hear good news nowadays which is truly saddening. But the human spirit lives on as it grasps hope - hope in miracles, hope in the good of mankind, hope in finding love amidst the tragedies. Love - here is another word that is so simple (it is spelled with just four letters) yet it is so deep at the same time that many people wander their whole lives trying to understand it. There are those who thought they found love only to realize later on that they have miserably failed. There are also those who are holding on to something that they comprehend as love when, in fact, they right smack in the middle of an abusive relationship. Only a handful seems to have found pure love - but they, too, have tread an uneasy path. So, yes, the world needs a dose of love stories - s...

The song Blurred Lines generated a huge amount of controversy when it was released in 2013. British entertainment and media news website, Digital Spy, called it "smooth and soulful" but in the wrong hands "crass and chauvinistic." Rolling Stone magazine called it "The Worst Song of This or Any Other Year." Pharrell Williams, producer and co-writer of the song, said in an interview with Oprah on Super Soul Sunday, that the song taught him a lot and it wasn't what you might expect. When he wrote the song, his intended message was that women are "good girls" but even "good girls" have bad thoughts, so there's a blurred line. He says while most people got the message, a few took it the wrong way and called him a woman hater. Williams defends the song saying that all he was trying to say was that man is not a woman's maker and he's not her creator. Men cannot give birth nor can they create an egg. The point of the song f...
