Spring Trends for 2016




Since February the runways have been filled with all of the Spring trends that are hitting the stores with fury right now.

Here's some of the new trends you'll be seeing and wearing:

Any type of Bomber style jacket, hottest are light leathers (for men too) to ward off the chilly days and nights of up and down Spring weather.

Updated cotton/silky button down blouses in florals, stripes,and modified leopard prints, and ruffles, ruffles and ruffles!

Exposing the shoulders: from dresses to tops and blouses, off the shoulder and shoulder cut outs will become the norm. From silks to cottons to dress up or dress down off the shoulder is in!

Back to Boho.......has it ever left? Picking up steam and in summer gauze for light and airy heat relief to take through spring and summer.

High neck halter style bikinis and a return into the 70's they will be in sporty styles and in other materials like crochet. Hot stuff in the surf.

Now onto the feet, get your pedicures ready because Spring is when you take your feet out of hibernation and this Spring the "lace up" style is hot. The laces will criss-cross just above the ankles and will be in all types of materials, although summer suede is all the rage. The lace-ups will be perfect for casual looks, date night dresses and with swimwear!

And finally it's all about the finishing touches, like the big bold earrings, in drops and dangling balls and chandeliers, just be careful not to snag your shoulders!!

Have fun with all the Spring trends for 2016Prada-statement-earrings-2

Dimethicone: Chemical Gets A Bad Rap

Image
What is dimethicone? Why does it get such a bad rap?  It is primarily because it is a commonly used product and an additive, and secondarily it is a man-made silicone polymer and it’s always listed alongside things like phthalates and triclosan. It is a chemical. Dimethicone is in a lot of cosmetics and in products given to you by a certified dermatologist and even in items for babies. Chemistry Photo credit: Pinterest Dimethicone is normally only used topically and found in the cream type form. Dimethicone works because it forms a barrier for and against moisture by doing one of two things, trapping it on the skin or trapping it away from the skin. It fills pores and smooths the look of the skin may fill in wrinkles and fine lines on the face, and it also provides an emollient that will sooth skin to fight the effects of sunburn and diaper rash.

Deadliest Record-Breaking Cold Weather Is Dangerous

Photo Credit: Medicentres.com Today's post is in response to the dangerous cold and record-breaking weather that is upon approximately 110 million people! I am currently one of those people in the path of this polar vortex weather, and I am not happy. Midwesterners are tough, rugged and live through a lot of weather extremes, however, what is predicted to come for the next two days is just dangerous. A little less than half of the North American continent has an extreme weather forecast right now and in the next week or so. My area tomorrow is predicted to be in the -50 (negative temps) to possible -60's !. The sub-zero temps are here already, but tonight and tomorrow will be excruciating! A meteorologist at the Weather Prediction Center is passing along information right now telling the American public the exposed skin in that kind of extreme will take only a matter of seconds to frostbite and cause hypothermia. According to the Mayo Clinic   (see  their defini

Magnolias In My Kitchen Very Simple Flower Centerpiece

Image
It's a very cold January day and not one glimpse of the sun is to be had. The ground is covered in snow and now there's even freezing drizzle/rain to add into making this a long winter's day. There's only one thing you can do is to bring warmth in, by way of flowers. I have these two magnolia stems sitting right near me, One has three blooms on it and one has two. They feel bright and remind me of summer. Those warm days where the car windows are down and the Grateful Dead are playing Sugar Magnolia on the radio. And the only thing you can do is wave your arms out to feel the breeze while you're singing the song! A lovely flower centerpiece will liven, brighten and warm my room. So I gathered a  few things: the two magnolia stems Some dried green moss, that I use often, it truly makes me think of spring and summer with its very vibrant green and even brown sticks!  2 very large bell-shaped dimpled glass containers, graduated in size the large
