CAN AN EAR PIERCING IMPROVE YOUR SEX LIFE?

Hi bloggers, today I'm going to share a very interesting new I have found in www.elle.com. 

What do you think? Can an ear piercing imporve your sex life? Let's see it! 

Let me back up. In the acupuncture world, ears are speckled with many potentially therapeutic points. The genitalia are found on the antihelix, an often-ignored nook near the temple, and the prettiest spot for a tiny gold ring. “There are hundreds of acupuncture points in the ear that address a variety of problems,” says herbalist and acupuncturist Jill Blakeway, founder of The YinOva Center in New York City.

While a piercing itself won’t disrupt or over-stimulate the acupuncture zone, jewelry can act as a reminder of where a specific point is located. So perhaps it’s no coincidence that piercing the tragus—the hunger point—is popular among runway regulars. According to Blakeway, rubbing the external-ear nub can work as an appetite suppressant. Similarly, “If you play with the EG ring, you should feel a little frisky,” Blakeway says.

The ear as an aesthetic (and erotic) focal point is nothing new. In Haruki Murakami’s A Wild Sheep Chase, the unnamed protagonist's love interest is an ear model, and when she pulls her hair up, the world basically stops: "I swallowed my breath and gazed at her, transfixed. My mouth went dry. From no part of me could I summon a voice. For an instant, the white plaster wall seemed to ripple. The voices of the other diners and the clinking of their dinnerware grew faint, then once again returned to normal. I heard the sound of waves, recalled the scent of a long-forgotten evening. Yet all this was but a mere fragment of the sensations passing through me in those few hundredths of a second."

So what does a take-your-breath-away kind of ear look like? In a word: adorned, according to Diana Vreeland, who wore big earrings and blush to enhance her ears.

Intrigued and inspired, the ELLE beauty team enlisted Blakeway to help us find our most therapeutic—and prettiest—ear piercings. On a recent Friday afternoon, we headed to New York Adorned to visit piercer and friend, J. Colby Smith. The needle artist takes a customized approach to hole placement, studying each subject’s ear to find the prettiest points for jewelry, the perfect complement to Blakeway’s expertise.

Fashion Victim, Summer clothes - life is a fairytale (lyrics)

A tematic outfit!

Hi bloggers, this week I'm going to talk about a tematic outfit. With this, you will show a very natural image. In this case, if you want to use this type of clothing to go to school or during the weekend, you can wear this garments without the cowboy hat. On the other hand, if you want to be different and remarked or if you want to use these garments to make a photos session or something like this, you can wear the cowboy hat.

As you can see in these photos, I'm wearing jeans with a flowered pattern, a plaid shirt with a fur vest on it and brown tall boots. These garments are combined with some wooden bracelets and of course with a bold cowboy hat. You can find this type of clothing in Inditex stores, specially in Bershka and Vives Shoes.

This tematic outfit show a natural appearance, for this reason it's important to combine the garments with a natural harstyle too. Here you have two examples: In the first case, I'm wearing my hair wavy. In the second case, I'm wearing a side braid.

It is very important to wear a natural make up too. You can mark your eyes form in black, wear blush and paint your lips with a pink lipstick.

Finally, I want to say that as you can see in the different pictures, You can combine the garments and change the outfit with only a trench cape on it. 

I think that this piece of cloting is very useful. It makes us keep warm and at the same time we are taking part and wearing the latest trends.

My Valoration: 7

What I like: I think that this outfit is very special and natural. I like it, but for me, wearing a cowboy hat it's too bold. I think that It is a good option for going to school or to wear it during the weekend. 

What I don't like: I think that it would be difficult for me to find the moment to wear a cowboy hat. I would wear the outfit without this complement.

An elegant outfit!

Hi bloggers, this week I'm going to talk about an elegant outfit. This type of clothing is ideal for going out at night or to attend an important event. With this outfit you will show a very formal image. In this case it's important to remark the hairstyle and the jewellery. 

As you can see in the photo I'm wearing a black dress with a green blazer on it. These garments are combined with some jewells: a big and attractive necklace, a big silver bracelet and a handbag. To show a more formal appearence it's important to wear heel shoes. You can find this type of clothing in Inditex stores, specially in Bershka and Vives Shoes. 

On the other hand, it's important to wear a very original hairstyle. In my opinion, if you want to show professionalism the best option is wearing your hair updo. 

Finally I have to explain the make up. In this case it is very important to wear a natural make up. You can mark your eyes form in black and paint your lips with a pink lipstick for example. 

My Valoration: 5

What I like: I think that this outfit is very special and elegant. I like it, but for me it's too formal. It is a good option for taking part in a formal event. If you are wearing this outfit I'm sure that you will show professionalism.

Do you want to triumph?

 

Hi bloggers, this week I'm going to talk about a rebel outfit. This type of clothing is ideal for going out at night and to show a sexy and mysterious image. With these garments we can show this appearance because of the colours (black and red), the hairstyle, the make up and specially the stockings pattern.  

As you can see in the photo I'm wearing a black shirt with a skull drawn on it, this skull is emblazoned with the American flag. This shirt is combined with some particular garments: black shorts which have some metal points in the sides, stockings with a very original pattern and black heeled boots. You can find them in Inditex stores, specially in Stradivarius and Vives Shoes. Then I'm wearing a leather jacket on this outfit. 
On the other hand, in this case it is important the hairstyle, which consists in curling the hair and put it up with a side tail. 
Finally I have to explain the make up. In this case it is very important because it helps to show a suggestive image. It's very simple, you only have to paint your lips with a powerful red lipstick and you have to mark your eyes form in black.  

My Valoration: 9

What I like: I think that this outfit is very special and mysterious. I like it a lot and for me it is the best option to go to the disco or to go out at nigth. If you are wearing this outfit I'm sure that you will clean someone out. Dare to be different! 

What I don't like: In this case I can't say too many negative thinks about this outfit. For me it is very special. I know that some people can believe that it is very provocative and sensual! It's true, but if you know when you can wear it and when it's better to save these clothing in the wardrove, you will triumph!

A fresh and summery outfit

Hi bloggers, this week I'm going to talk about a fresh and summery outfit. 
The spring begins this weekend and all the stores have already prepared the season. 

 This is the second outfit I suggest. As you can see in the photo I'm wearing a long, brown and squared skirt and a black jumper. So it's a simple outfit. Then, to garnish it I use some complements. In this case, a long necklace with a big jewell, some bracelets and a black belt. You can find them in Inditex stores.  

My Valoration: 6

What I like: I think that this outfit is very fresh and summery. I like it and it's true that long skirts are the new trend of the summer. This year you will see many girls wearing this garment!

What I don't like: I have to say that i don't like this style a lot. I prefer trousers, shorts because they are more comfortable and in case I have to wear a skirt or a dress I'd rather wear a shorter one. I think that this outfit is ideal to wear during your holiday in the beach.

A simple and natural outfit

Hi bloggers, today I'm going to start a new section of my blog. Everyweek I will take a photo of my outfits and I will describe the clothes I'm wearing.  I will also say where you could find the garments and I will make a valoration.  

This is the first outfit I suggest. As you can see in the photo I'm wearing a beige jumper with a denim jaket on it, leather leggings and the most modern shoes, heel trainers. Then, to garnish these simple garments and to show a better look, I use some complements. In this case, a military scarf and a military bag. I have to say that it's important the way you wear the garments and you have to personalize and use your own style. 

You can find them in Inditex stores. In this case, the denim jacket and the leather leggings are from Bershka; the beige jumper, the military scarf and the military bag are from Stradivarius and finally these heel shoes are from Vives.  

My Valoration: 9

What I like: I think that this outfit is very natural. I like it very much because it transmits my personality. I think that you can wear these garments in your daily routine and in a special event too. 

What I don't like: I can't say too many negative things. I like this style a lot but I think that maybe it is very formal or well-dressed to go to school. What you can do too, is changing the heel trainers to boots or to another type of shoes to show a more informal appearance.  

Do you need anthropometry?

Hi fashion victims, today I'm going to coment the results about one question from my infographic: WHAT DO YOU WEAR WHEN YOU GO TO THE DISCO OR YOU GO OUT AT NIGHT? I have to say that I was really surprised by the response to the survey. As we can see, the most popular answer was "Pants or Shorts", and the less popular answer was "Skirts". 

Some years ago, going out at night meant grooming, dressing well, putting on clothes that you wouldn't wear a normal and informal day... Nowadays girls prefer to go out dressing pants, shorts and comfortable clothes. 

In my opinion, I think that we can find different preferences. I know girls that prefer wearing comfortable clothes to go out, but on the other hand I know a lot of girls that prefer putting on clothes that they can't wear during the day: tight dresses, tube skirts, high heeled shoes...

Everyone should wear clothes in which they feel more comfortable, but if you want to know what kind of clothes are better for you and with which you'll be more favored, your word is anthropometry, which is the study of the different body shapes. Anthropometry help us to diagnose and advise which kind of clothing each person needs. To analyze this we will consider the source image, lines, shapes, volumes and colors.
Depending on each person's body shape, it will be better a clothing style or another one.

Are you obsessed about fashion?

Today fashion is a very important part of our life. From birth we are conditioned by the fashion and by the publicity that we receive about the new trends and the new fashions. 

From the morning when we wake up, we begin to receive advertising messages through radio, newspaper, Internet or television. If we go out, everything is full of posters, at the bus stop, at the different shopping windows... we can not avoid them. Can you actually count the amount of advertising messages that we receive every day?
Our life is very influenced by advertising, which affects us in many of our daily activities: we wear the most fashionable brands, we see the highest grossing film of the year and we buy some objects, which are useless  but give us reputation just because they are announced on television.

The truth is that people get easily carried away  by advertisements, by the latest fashion trends... and we can not avoid buying that object announced on television whitout knowing its use. Rarely do we consider the usefulness of the item or its price, the matter is to buy it because it will make our lives easier, or because it will match the color of the walls.
Advertising knows how to get to our subconscious and make us believe that we have to buy and spend.

Here we can see the results of my survey, 21 interviewed said that fashion is important in their life, 9 interviewed said that fashion is not important in their life.
In my opinion, following the latests trends and being aware about the new fashions could be funny as a hobby. But on the other hand I think that it can become a concern that can be avoided. Everyone has to be unique, everyone has to have their own style and nobody has to be compared with others. 

Finally I want to say that the code image is what everyone transmits to others. To achieve our goals we must know what we want to convey, know what we transmit and detect the differences between both.

So my phrase of the day is: Follow fashion but do not turn it into an obsession, be yourself.

Fashion Infographic

Hi bloggers,
These latest days I did a survey of 10 questions to 30 people, to know the tastes about fashion. Here you have the results and I will comment some of these in the next entries.

COLORS IN FASHION

Another factor that is very important in fashion is the meaning of colors. These can be warm or cold: 
• Warm colors convey sweetness, naturalty and transmit proximity.
• Cold colors show aggressiveness, toughness and safety.
• Black and white are neutral colors.

In this case we can clearly see it in perfume advertisements:

This first image is an advertisement about the brand Dior perfume. We see clearly that the major part of the add is blue, a cold color. This blue, helped with the expression of the model and all other components show aggressiveness, toughness, safety ...

On the other hand, the second image is the announcement of Shakira's perfume. In this add we see that the predominant color is gold, a warm color. In this case this advertisement shows sweetnees and naturality.




Here you can read the individual meaning of each color:

Red: Red is the color of passion, strength and action. It stimulates action, love, and power creative force and we associate it with power, energy, vitality... Negatively , it symbolizes the hatred and cruelty.

Orange: Orange is the color of wisdom, sociability and communication. As positive effects can be said that stimulates conversation and sense of humor. Negatively , its excessive use can unbalance the nervous system. You need green and blue to balance the color.

Yellow: Yellow is a cheerful color associated with intuition. Represents spiritual perfection, peace and rest. It is the color of youth and joy. As a positive effect promotes compassion and creativity awakens enthusiasm for life, confidence and optimism. Negatively an excessive use can cause irritation and can also symbolize cowardice.

Blue: Blue is the symbol of truth, consciousness, harmony, tranquility, hope, order, nobility and generosity. It can also mean desire for peace and solitude. As a positive effect , it calms your nerves and it is a refreshing color. Negatively , an excess use causes depression and feeling sadness.

Green: Green is the color of nature. It symbolizes new life, regeneration, joy, happiness, excitement and hope. As a positive effect helps to balance our energies, produces sedative effects, tonics and fresh. Negatively, it can symbolize selfishness, envy and sloth. Dark green can depress and weaken.

White: White is associated with light, goodness, innocence, purity and virginity. It is considered the color of perfection, peace, calm and harmony. It means security, purity, simplicity and cleanliness.

Black: Black is the opposite of light. It is the color of silence, mystery, sadness, separation, night, and death anxiety. When it shines also means nobility and elegance.

Gray: Gray symbolizes indecisiveness, lack of energy, doubt and melancholy. The metallic gray feels cold, brightness, elegance and luxury.

Pink: Is the result of mixing red with white. It's a romatic color that express love, friendship and all the feminine qualities . It is a color that brings warmth, tenderness, understanding and compassion.

As you can see colors are very important dependig what you want to transmit. For this reason, image consultants make the color test and say to everyone if they need warm or cold colors!

FASHION IN IMPORTANT EVENTS

IRENE PRADELL INTERVIEW

Were you interested in the fashion world when you were little?
Yes, I was, I liked the fashion world and I have always been interested in being part of it since I was little, both personally and professionally .

What are your studies? 
Related to this subject , I have a degree on hairdressing and I also studied at the school of professional makeup "Makeup Stick Art Studio" , which includes makeup in television , films , special effects , fantasy .. The truth is that I feel very fortunate to have studied there. I am very proud of it.

Have you ever makeup famous or important people?
Yes, I have participated in filming movies and I have maked up  known and important people.

Which is the most surprising or unusual makeup you've done?
I will say that the body make up is the closest to this definition. You will rarely see someone maked up from top to bottom completely naked . Although body make up is very attractive, it is unusual to see unless we are in an event directly related to it or in the form of advertising to catch attention. In addition, it is also unusual because it may take about 5 hours or so to do it , and if you are a perfectionist you'll never finish it. I would add that one of the works that left a mark on me was the day when we made up the three wise men and we went with them to the hospital to visit the children and burned adults. The experience of helping those people who were suffering in the hospital was really special for me and something I'll never forget.

What are your expectations for the future? 
Of course, to devote myself to the make up world at 100% and I hope for good. It's my hobby , it's what fulfils me, what makes me happy and even my medicine.

I know that you participated in a videoclip recording, can you explain it to us?
Sure. As a makeup artist, I have participated in various recordings, but I guess you mean the video that came out recently where I appear.
It was a question of a favor to a good friend . He called me and I went there. I must say it was a good experience.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLyPkqwNbog

As for advertising ...

Have you ever participated in any commercial event?
I have participated in fairs and also something of advertising. But as a model , not as a makeup artist .

Do you think the image has a strong influence on advertising?
Yes , of course , the image is very important in the advertising world and in the real world too. The image is what sells us as people and what makes a product in a matter of advertising. Image catches our attention.

Many people think that advertising is deceptive and manipulative. Do you agree in that?
There is everything. In one hand, there is of course misleading , but not always. As for the image, it is clear that almost everywhere there are tweaks and image is not always true.
