  you and your honey

Family Dinner If you're thinking of wearing matching outfits anywhere: don't. But, if you're thinking of wearing outfits that compliment one another: DO.


While matching means that both of you will inch close to looking somewhat androgynous, complimenting one another means that you'll effortlessly look the part of a celebrity couple that's just spent hours with a stylist.

This season, go for a professional chic look with a mix of dark hues, textured patterns, bursts of color and shining jewelry. Keep things casual with a pair of black flats and natural toned make-up. His look should appear to be an offspring of yours. A pair of dark wash jeans, paired with a thick double-breasted cardigan layered over a crisp white dress shirt and tie to match your brightest color should do the trick. Mens rings are in this season, but don't choose something too flashy. Keep the look grounded with a dark brown pair of loafers and matching belt, and choose a patterned scarf up to top to keep him toasty.
 
Gala Glamour Whether you're heading out on the, having a fancy dinner or going to a house party, you'll look great standing next to each other in coordinating outfits. Figure- flattering silhouette dresses are in this year, along with decorative booties and patterned tights. A chunky necklace with a sparkling ring, braided belt and simple clutch go perfectly with smoky eyes, vintage earrings and a bright pop of red lipstick to help you photograph at your best. Guys look great in cotton chinos paired with a snazzier nighttime blazer. A black shirt and black tie will add subtle depth to the outfit while a bright pocket square to compliment your colors will make his entire ensemble pop. Brown boots and a belt with a chunky scarf will top off his look perfectly!


What To Give Even though the ‘giving’ season is technically over, it’s always nice to get a little something for that special someone- and accessories are always a good way to go. Boots are a popular item for guys this fall and winter, and they can even be worn into spring. You can peek through his closet to see what he doesn't have or what needs to be replaced. Also, listen to him to hear if he wants anything specific, but that he's maybe too afraid to buy himself. Accessories like scarves, jewelry or ties also make good stocking stuffers. You can even gift an entire outfit, just to get him started off on the right foot for the New Year, and to make sure you'll compliment one another all year long!

    I would recommend making sure you always smell really good. (But not like a French whore.) Get lots of lotions and perfumes. Guys always notice when you smell really good. :)

Pore shrinking mask recipes from home

A face with large open pores when seen from close quarters doesn’t look so good. While it’s quite common for oily skins to have a tendency towards open pores, an attack of pimples also leaves ugly scars and open pores behind.  Even though the scars may fade away after some time, open pores appear to be more obstinate and hardly show any signs of shrinking.  Age also takes its toll by giving an uneven/pigmented tone to the skin and making the open pores more prominent. Heredity could also be a contributing factor in determining your pore size. It’s not easy to get rid of these pores or shrink them completely or permanently using serums, lotions or face packs. Even resorting to drastic chemical/surgical procedures at the dermatologist’s isn’t quite capable of giving satisfactory results.  Nevertheless, you can try and minimize their appearance at least temporarily with clever makeup and a few natural skin care masks such as these: * Cleanse your face with a mild ...
