The Rise of the Nerd: 4 Styles for the Intellectually Inclined

It’s time to face the truth: smart girls have more fun. What’s beauty without brains, anyway? However, nerdiness is no excuse to live life like Tess of the D'urbervilles. It’s time to tap into your inner Daisy Buchanan. Here are a few styles to get you started:




Professor Chic
Evolved from the Norfolk hunting jacket of the 1860’s, the sport coat worked its way into a more professional setting. Though traditionally worn by males, it’s now considered to be a staple in any wardrobe, regardless of sex or gender.
If your style is more feminine, look for a fitted cut and pair it with a sleek blouse. Opt for a coat featuring leather elbow patches, throw on a pair of skinny jeans or trousers and you’re ready to hit the books!

Pop Culture
Have a more relaxed style? Fearlessly show off your nerdy greatness with a graphic tee. First produced sometime during the 1950’s, the graphic tee has since become a casual wear phenomena. Whether you’re into chemistry puns or literary allusions, the graphic tee has got you covered. It’s likely the most versatile piece of nerd gear and a handy wardrobe default.

High and Waisted
For a smart femme look, high-waisted skirts are essential. No matter the length, you can’t go wrong with a black a-line. Match with thigh-high socks and a good pair of penny loafers for that coffee shop look. Skirts not your thing? Black high-waisted shorts are a comfortable substitute, and are frequently sported by Taylor Swift. Pair them with black tights for an edgy vibe.

Beauty Isn’t Always Blind
What’s the use of looking good if you can’t see? Harry Potter rocked his frames and so can you. They come in all shapes and sizes, so regardless if you’re a chic, relaxed, or the queen of nerdom, you’ll be able to find a pair that suits your individual flair from Marvel Optics and similar retailers. I recommend the classic 1960’s ‘cat eye’ shape for all those nerdy divas out there. You don’t even need poor vision to take part in the glasses trend!

In conclusion, never compromise your brains for your beauty; rather, let your outer beauty reflect what’s going on in that beautiful mind of yours. Whether you’re a Hermione Granger, Marie Curie, or Hedy Lamarr, always remember to let that inner nerd shine on.

The ache of acne (pimples)

Acne is often the bane of a pretty face. It is painful more emotionally than physically, for the scar that it leaves behind can last for a lifetime, adding to one’s miserable look & feeling. No doubt many expensive skin care clinics have mushroomed in ever nook & corner, offering to clear all the scars & blemishes on the face, but they are very expensive & charge exorbitant price for each sitting; not everyone can afford them. So why not try out this simple skin care regimen to minimize the damage caused by acne & as far as possible prevent its eruption.

Aspirin for acne-prone skin

Aspirin has been around for a long time and its health benefits are wide and varied. Aspirin , or acetylsalicylic acid is a salicylate drug, often used as an analgesic to relieve minor aches and pains , as an antipyretic to reduce fever , and as an anti-inflammatory medication. Aspirin's greatest benefit is reducing cardiovascular events including heart attacks and strokes. According to the American Heart Assoc. virtually all women are at risk of heart disease and doctors should more strongly consider prescribing a daily aspirin for their female patients. There is growing evidence to suggest regular aspirin use may reduce cancer and dementia as well. Investigators from the Women's Health Study have reported important new findings demonstrating that aspirin reduces the risk of a first stroke in women. When given to someone immediately after a heart attack, aspirin decreases death by 25%.
