Dress bossy to amaze

Being a successful businesswoman makes even the most ordinary things in life ten times more complicated. Your schedule is chaotic, your working hours are even more so, and even the simplest task of choosing the right outfit seems like a huge project with billion angles to consider. To avoid headaches and panic attacks every morning before you decide what to wear, dress in such way that your colleagues and business partners don’t have a shred of doubt left that they’re dealing with a genuine boss.


Monday

As the dullest and the most boring day of the week, Monday is here to make you all feel miserable; except for you. Dress in white to emphasize your enthusiasm and energy and to give out the impression of a business professional who knows what she’s doing.  Wide legged pants, shirt made of flowy material. And a well-fitting blazer needs only a red tote bag and red pumps to look astonishingly good.

Tuesday

Pencil skirts are a must in any woman’s wardrobe, but for a woman who’s spending a lot of hours at meetings and office, it is even more important, because this wonderful piece is not only comfortable, but flattering too. A nice, grey pencil skirt combined with a white shirt will make you look professional and bossy. If you want to add some color to it, add a mustard or a navy sweater. Combine this with open-toe shoes and you’re ready to go.

Wednesday

For a lovely Wednesday morning, walk in and shine in a beige pencil skirt, white shirt, and brown heels, brown bag, and a brown belt. The combination of these hues is soothing for the eyes and you only need a touch of gold, for example a wrist watch, or a nice necklace, to top up the entire outfit.

Thursday

Keeping things casual but still stylish and business-like is a skill that needs some time to master. A nice and stylish combo of a simple striped tee, heels, well-fitting jeans, fitted blazer, and a tote will have you looking professional but still add a casual touch to your everyday style. Keep your jewelry simple and classic instead of trendy and eye-catching, this makes you look less professional.

Friday

Friday is the day when things tend to go casual and a bit less strict, but for a bossy successful businesswoman that rule does not apply. This is the right time to show your commitment and discipline by showing at work wearing short sleeved black dress, and a nice pair of stilettos. Pair your shoes with a nice bag, this is the right time to add a bit of color – perhaps bright red, or even banana yellow; wear a nice bun and a pearl necklace and look like a real CEO of a big company.

It is important to keep your personal style present even when you dress up for a big meeting. A nice French braid, pretty cocktail ring, or a signature statement necklace will make you stand out from the crowd but will not diminish your bossy glow.

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.

Aloevera, the wonder herb

Of all the herbs available in the kitchen garden, aloe is perhaps the richest in healing properties and has been rightly named the “first-aid” plant. It has moisturizing and emollient properties and is used in cosmetic creams, sun-lotions, shaving creams and face packs. It can easily be cultivated as a house-plant in a sunny warm spot with good drainage. Cosmetologists mix aloe with several other herbs and draft fancy names for it. Then these “herbal” avatars are sold at exorbitant prices. Growing a plant and using fresh gel is much more effective than bottled gel, simply because it is alive and therefore is more potent. It is the only plant whose extract is applied directly from plant to face in its natural and purest form.

I Tried a Headache Balm and Ended Up with Rashes

I do have this habit of slathering pain balms whenever I have a headache. But never did I get a skin reaction or rashes from it. It so happened that I had an extremely severe headache a few months ago.  The pain was so unbearable that I gingerly reached out for a pain balm kept on my bedside table and kept on slathering it repeatedly all over the temples of my forehead. Next morning, after I woke up, I found that the skin on my forehead was peeling off and worse there were red rashes!  This was the first time in my life that I was getting rashes from applying a pain balm on my forehead !  I have never had any pain balm allergy or as such!  Side-effects due to application of a pain balm  was something I've never come across all these years! I usually use pain balms of reputed companies – my usual favourites are Tiger balm, Amrutanjan, Zandu balm and Sloan’s balm.  This time I had used Tiger balm. But why did it  give me rashes now, when I had used it...
