What is the Right Hairstyle for My Face?

Tweet

This is a guest post by Anu of Beauty Secrets Revealed. Choosing a perfect hairstyle depends on a several factors such as the length, texture, density of your hair and your face shape.

How to determine your face shape?

Stand straight and still in front of the mirror. Draw the outline around the reflection of your face, with a lipstick or a marker. Step away a bit and see if the shape looks oval, square, triangle, diamond, round or heart to you. It is very much possible that you do not perfectly fit into any one shape category. Your face might be a combination of square on top and round at the jaws, or some other combination. Just try to fit it in a closest category possible.

Basically all you need to do is select a hairstyle to emphasis good features on your face and shift the focus away from not-so-good features.

I'd like to introduce you to the BEST source for formal dresses!

I likely would NOT have purchased a formal dress online before having been introduced to this company. If ever I do have an occasion, (and believe me, with 4 kiddos this is RARE) I go to the....MALL! And to be perfectly honest, it never occurred to me to do otherwise! I always wondered where the extravagant dresses came from. You know, the RED CARPET kind; the 'Who is THAT girl" kind; the 'Where did she get THAT dress kind.

We don't all have her bankroll, (Wait I don't think ANYONE has her bankroll!), and there is nothing worse than spending good money, (well isn't it ALL good money?) on a piece of clothing that will be of NO use in a few short months! Here are some quick alterations that anyone can make, (regardless of your sewing skill level) to feel like a million, no matter how plump is your bump!

Satisfy your shopping needs, Preggo!

Last summer, at the end of my pregnancy, not only was I feeling the heat, but I was feeling the retail urges. BADLY. Spending most of my time in my husbands XXL tee shirts, (and that's about it...), with maybe 2 on call outfits that were somewhat acceptable for my very rare outing, the Cute-E-Pie in me was hurting!

Sure, I would take the occasional trip to Target, with the then 7 and 3 year old in tow... needless to say that did NOT do the trick! Maternity clothing made me angry. Did I really want to spend $40 on that shirt that I would soon like to throw in the garbage? Up nearly 100 pounds from my usual weight, trying on clothing in the 'family' dressing room, and NEVER guessing the right size. My dresses became shirts, and leggings would wear through the inner thigh in a week. THAT SUCKED!

Call me a man for not thinking of this, but I found my needs INSTANTLY satisfied with purses, shoes, and accessories! (DUH...) So here are some of my most favorite things this summer, also so very preggo friendly!

Yummy Target! (That means photo credit: Target.com, and all of these items are currently available at Target.com!!!)

Wait....the shoes? I admit, I have a tendency to sacrifice comfort for pretty piggies. Even preggers.

Nice choice for a museum trip with all of this kiddies? LOL- Means photo credit- That guy at Sesame Street who felt sorry for the fat girl in the 4 inch heels!

Maternity Belly Charms won't pop with you

To tell a story without disclosing my age, would be impossible. I don't really care too much about that anyway, since 33 is what, the new 20 now? (Yeah, I am reaching as my 11 PM bedtime quickly approaches...) I never imagined the day when I could say that 18 years ago anything, ( Hell I am still SHOCKED to see that a baby born in 1993 can buy cigarettes now...) But I digress. 18 years ago, I snuck out, doing all the naughty things that as a mother, makes me shudder, and got my belly button pierced. I was a sexy little 15 year old, with my flat little tummy and abs without effort.

I guess I am a lucky one. Weight has never been an issue; quite the opposite. DON'T attack! THIN has it's downfalls! As I began to gain MASSIVE weight with my first child (Check out the 100 pounds I gained with my last little fella...HERE) I still didn't worry.

The side effect?

Never did it occur to the younger me, that my sexy little belly button ring would up and jump off of my body unexpectedly, in public, and fall straight out of my dress. Yes indeed, it popped! I never could get that sucker back in the hole afterwards, and 4 babies later, I am left with half of a hole, sadly and perhaps luckily, hidden in the folds. Did I warn about TMI? Again, that's okay :) I am still a hot momma.

Sincerely, the best thing I have found in my recent pregnancy related searching, are these maternity belly button rings, and charms offered by Belly Charms. Not only are they more affordable than mine were 18 years ago, (when gas was only 99 cents), but they are sizable to the growing bump.

Perfect for the Cute-E-Pie in you, for the women not ready to give up her sensuality for the bump. And momma's, NO YOU DON'T HAVE TO!!!

It's getting hot in here...

And no, you can not really take off all your clothes, really now. But as my sons first birthday past (July 1) I remembered the suffering, the AGONY of de-HEAT. Ladies, mommies to be, I feel for you now!
