My thought of the day: “Gratitude will shift you to a higher frequency, and you will attract much better things.” – Rhonda Byrne

Style Note : “Dressing for success is not only wearing something well but making sure it is appropriate for the environment.

“Do you feel at ease in your own skin, smart, confident, or powerful in your clothes?” our outfit reflects our personality and demonstrates our professionalism in both career and life. A further explanation why dressing appropriately for work is crucial is that you want to be seen as a professional than someone who just dresses in sportswear. As a result, it's critical that you dress appropriately for the event. When someone does not take pride in their looks, it is difficult to take them seriously.

Colors have a significant influence on our daily lives. They have an effect on how we think, how we make decisions, and how we feel. Colors have more force than we realize, from generating changes to affecting reactions. They can be utilized as both goods or bad, according to our beliefs. However, we all have the  capacity to accept some hues while rejecting others.“One of the most significant and distinguishing aspects of boosting your image is color. Wearing colors that complement your demeanor, attitude, skin color, hair color, and body shape will make you look younger, more lively, and friendly.”

“The very first thing others observe about you is your true self, not your credentials, background, or accomplishments. An image is worth a thousand words, and the way you show yourself is the “picture” you present to the rest of the world.”

It's not all about wearing designer labels or wearing clothes that express your individuality; it's about feeling confident about yourself and wearing the clothes that express your personal style."Fashion is not necessarily about labels. It's not about brands. It's about something else that comes from within you." -- Ralph Lauren

Every good book opens up new dimensions of thoughts for the reader. ...What book are you reading at the moment?

Lately, I have found reading during my free time quite interesting. This is because a very good book can enable us to expand our horizons and enhances our creativity.

Reading helps the reader to build his or her curiosity, allowing them to imagine and explore in dimensions they could not have been able to do before.  it can enable one to think outside the box. Furthermore, another importance of reading is that it enables us to tap into new knowledge and also gives us skills of problem-solving. When an individual is uninspired, reading can be a source of motivation. reading a good book that makes an impact is like recharging our battery and channeling stress into positive energy.

I am currently reading full speed ahead by Joyce Weiss. CSP.

let me know what book you are reading. I will see you in the next post. Thanks for reading my blog and do have a fabulous weekend

I never knew I was holding my wine glass the wrong way until I read this.

Guys, the importance of good etiquette should not be overlooked. imagine dressing up well and going for a dinner date or dinner night and you end up holding your wine glass the wrong way. should that really bother you? The experts have outlined how we should hold our wine glass. Let's read along. It's better to hold a glass of wine by the stem or the base of the glass when drinking it. Smudging is avoided by holding a glass by the stem, which also keeps the bulb clean. Keeping the bulb clean /  fingerprint-free allows you to assess the wine's color more accurately and understand more about it before tasting it.

Another reason the glass has a stem is that swirling your wine is convenient when you hold the stem rather than the goblet. The swirling movement keeps churning the fluid as it moves around the bulb, drawing oxygen from the air and has the ability to open the wine up, allowing the aromas to be released easily.

STYLE NOTE: Wardrobe essentials to help level up your personal style

STYLE TALK

Hiya ladies, today let's talk about three wardrobe essentials to help level up your personal style.

let me know what wardrobe essentials you can’t do without. see you in the comment section.

Denim is one of the few wardrobe staples that flatters my body type. most times,  I seek to find the ideal pair of jeans and once I do, I  stock them up in every color and style. Trousers can be replaced with jeans. When coupled with a blazer and shirt, well-tailored-fit jeans can be a wonderful outfit for the office or any other occasion. Styling a pair of jeans perfectly will make you look not only effortlessly stylish but also sophisticated.

Blazers have long been a mainstay in women's wardrobes. It is one of the most adaptable items of clothing anybody can own; a blazer can instantly spruce up an outfit while also making you look relaxed while still maintaining that trendy look.

The blazer can be worn with a variety of various fashion items and pieces of clothes that most people would consider conventional pieces of clothing. 'Wearing a blazer in a nude hue is a daring choice that gives the impression of "richness" due to the lightness of the tone. When executed correctly, it gives you a striking appearance. not having a pair of nude blazers is a sin in ifeoma's book of  style lol..... *winks*

nude heels are fabulous. “The nude collection is devoted to people who aspire to have fantastic legs, to have a great silhouette,” Louboutin says, according to the Huffington Post. Nude pumps are very classier and they can make any outfit look super expensive. I believe that finding the right shade of nude is crucial to have a functional wardrobe. whatcha think?

An effective career development plan enables you to achieve your goals.

Putting together a career development plan is one of the most important things you can do to excel in life and advance in your chosen field. Your career should be led in a clear direction that you are comfortable with. The career planning process is an essential step for your success and not something you should skip.

An effective career development plan enables you to achieve your goals. We all have certain goals in life, as well as specific levels we would like to attain. As a part of the career planning process, you develop specific career goals and figure out how to accomplish them. Identify your priorities if you want to accomplish that. Depending on your level of knowledge, you may or may not be sure what you are searching for in your career - a career coach will ask powerful questions that will reveal what you are seeking. An extensive career assessment will help you identify your key strengths and determine how they link to your career goals. Following the identification of your strengths, you can determine your next steps. Goals are the first step in determining the next steps.

Defining your purpose and passions as part of identifying your career path is important. But why? Most people have a dream of finding a career they like and enjoy, but they stumble along the way. Their different career aspirations simply result from reacting rather than planning. Even when they know a job is not what they are looking for, they apply for the position and take it. You can avoid career mismatches by making a clear plan and having clear ideas about what you want. By identifying your interests, strengths, and passions, you can identify the right field for you. If you set goals and understand how you'll reach them, find something you love, and find the balance between work and play, you'll reach an unprecedented level of happiness. Develop a career development plan to set you on the path to success. It's possible.

A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR 2022 …. I WISH YOU THE VERY BEST.
