Pitfalls of Casual Friday
by: Mary Arnold
Imagine this: You walk into a prominent, international business office, up to the receptionist's desk - and you see she's wearing flip-flops and blue jeans with holes in them. How do you react to this? I bet your opinion of that business just dropped quite a few notches, right?
Do you think this is an extreme example of some people's taking Casual Friday too far? Do you think it would never happen in your office?
My husband didn't think so - until it did happen in the office of his place of employment, an international, very prosperous company.
He's told me several stories of the inappropriate attire the receptionist has worn to work on Casual Friday over the years such as the aforementioned flip-flops and ripped blue jeans. Also she's shown up wearing a feather boa, tight T-shirts, shorts (during the summer), and miniskirts, among other unacceptable items of clothing.
And it's not just his workplace. I've seen many other examples of this type of dress in other places of business. I admit I may be too old-fashioned, but it seems very wrong to me when I am much more better dressed than the receptionist working in the office I'm bringing my business to. I don't care if it is Casual Friday; if the receptionist looks like she just rolled out of bed and threw on whatever was laying on the floor, that business just lost a customer in me. Right or wrong, it is indisputable that how a person dresses will affect another person's opinion of that person, and in this case, the company also.
The receptionist is the first person one sees when entering a business office; she is the image of the business. It doesn't matter in the least what all the other company workers wear on Casual Friday. The receptionist, as the spokesperson for the company, should always be appropriately dressed and well-groomed.
I'm not saying she must always wear a matching jacket and skirt, but I do believe she should never wear anything more casual than what she'd wear to church. In other words, a non-revealing dress or slacks with a dress shirt.
And, please, don't forget the pantyhose, and leave your sneakers in the closet.

Getting Ready: For Women
Getting Ready: For Women
by: Julia Tanner
Most women reading this are thinking that they already know how to get ready for a date, and this is a similar situation. While that?s true, you may want to read this over anyways to make sure that some little details are attended to.
When You?re In The Shower
You will want to take a shower because a bath might make you sleepy for the rest of the evening?and you don?t want that.
Before you get into the shower, make sure that you have a razor, shaving scream, face soap, and anything else that you normally need. With everything on your mind right now, you don?t want to have to keep getting out for things that you have forgotten.
Wash your body very carefully first. You can scrub with one of those poofy sponges and some bath gel for a light, clean scent. You will want to use lukewarm water so that your skin doesn?t dry out too much.
Wash your hair carefully and don?t use too much...

After waking up at 2 a.m. to feed your precious bundle of joy, a name like Green Little Meanies might be more appropriate than Green Little Beans. But after you take one look at your sweet angel's face (that is before she spits up on your brand new sweater); you want to give her the moon and stars.
Since you can't reign in the heavens, material items (and your unconditional love of course) will have to do. You had every intention of knitting your baby's entire wardrobe because handmade clothes just feel better. But as every mother knows, at the end of the day you don't have the time or energy to whip out the knitting needles. Fortunately, Green Little Beans' clothes are hand made with such special care everyone will think you made them yourself. Not only do you get the benefit of homemade clothes, your friends will think you're Super Woman.
Your baby will be so comfy in her cozy,...

Fashion Tips: Dress to Look Young
Fashion Tips: Dress to Look Young
by: Rick Valens
Dress to look young? Well think about it, how are you normally dressed? How do you normally present yourself to others? Unknowingly, a lot of us have been wearing clothes that made us appear older than we actually are, especially due to the nature of our work.
To maintain a youthful look, a lot of women have invested heavily on skin care products. Many at times neglecting the very basic, the clothing they wore everyday, the way they are dressed. Some due to their profession didn?t even realize that all these while; they are actually dressing to look old! Anti-ageing cream simply won?t just do magic to them.
To look young and pretty isn?t really that difficult. All you need is to spend a little time & effort, giving yourself a little touch up.
