I am probably not alone in my search for the perfect face cream. I want it to be effective and reasonably priced. I want to see results every time I look in the mirror and be pleased with what I see. But it is not easy to find the perfect product. There are thousands of options on the market, from cheap to ridiculously expensive. And it is hard to tell whether a costly cream is worth the money.
Many factors contribute to the price of a product, starting with initial sourcing through a marketing campaign. Each step adds a little…
The other day a took a stroll with my children to the neighboring park. About ten minutes into our walk (or less), my new multi-layer skirt started to gather at one side. I tried to straighten it out but to no avail. Static! I had no chance against the laws of physics at the moment and had to concede.
What is static?
Static is a force that is best demonstrated by the hair-ballon trick. I am sure you had experienced it when you were a child. Rub a balloon against your clothes, then bring it closer to your hair. …
Spring cleaning is often associated with a new beginning, fresh start, hope, and promise of better days to come. And I think the best place to start the spring cleaning is with a wardrobe cleaning. What can be better than a cleaned-out, organized closet filled with items you love and treasure?
Nowadays, most of us have more clothes than we need, from our everyday pieces to single-event purchases. We buy more than we wear, we want more than we can afford, and we impulse-shop more than we should. …
The other day I was out grocery shopping. I was standing in line, and my eyes inadvertently scanned a person in front of me. I noticed the woman’s jeans’ back pockets; they were packed with a wallet and phone. (quick note: I am not here to judge, but to share my thoughts on the subject). This incident made me think about the back pockets and why we should not use them as storage.
Most of us are “guilty” of using our pants’ pockets as purses to carry phones, keys, headphones, and wallets. It is the most natural gesture, in a…

The end of a season is the best time to shop for the IT item on sale. Most brands want to clear out their inventories and offer large discounts at the end of a season. …
The end of a season is the best time to shop for the IT item on sale. Most brands want to clear out their inventories and offer large discounts at the end of a season. The winter sale is the time to spot a great trench coat on sale.
The trench coat is a classical piece that never goes out of style, practical and versatile. You can wear it in fall and spring. Or if you live in California, as I do, the trench is very useful during winter. …
The fashion world is changing, slowly taking on more responsibility for its impact on the environment. Many brands invest time and money to find better, more eco-friendly materials to reduce brands’ impact on our planet. They partner with research labs to search high and low for new natural materials and exciting eco-combinations. The results are excellent but also confusing to a consumer. What is C-fiber, Tencel, Lyocell, or Grape Leather?
What are they? How are they better? And should I wear them?
What Are You?
About ten years ago, if I went to any store and perused items reviewing tiny material/care tags, I…
We’ve all had days when we are running behind schedule. Whether a morning got away from us, we overslept, or the world conspired against us. We are running around the house, trying desperately to get ready and grab all that we need. And then it happens. We reach our wardrobe, and the stress level reaches its peak. What to wear? At times like this, I grab my staple pieces and run.
What Are Wardrobe Staples?
Wardrobe staples or go-to pieces are lifesavers. The idea is not a ploy or an advertising gimmick trying to trick you into buying more clothes. It is quite the…
I was never a fan of the white color, mostly because it gets dirty quickly. In my early days, I did not want to maintain and care for white clothing. Later, when I became a parent, I learned that nothing I wear stayed clean for more than an hour. Something was bound to happen no matter how careful I was.
As time went on, I slowly started to re-introduce white-colored clothing into my wardrobe. And what a difference has it made! The white color is like magical dust that transformed my looks into a more polished version of themselves.
A Little Bit Of History

No matter who you are. No matter where you shop. No matter your style. We all face the same unsolvable problem of clothing sizing. The problem is universal whether you are skinny, short, curvy, or muscular. Size numbers rarely reflect an accurate fit and more often seem to be arbitrary.
I can try a top, dress, and a sweater of the same size from the same brand, and each one will fit differently. How is this possible?
The standardized sizing does not fit all. We are all unique with different curves, proportions, and body types. …
