Perfect Purse For Your Personality

Some of us underestimate the power of the purse. I do not mean this in the economic or the financial sense. What I meant to say is that most of us women consider the purse as something to hold whatever items we need to carry with us whenever we go out.

But the thing is, beyond being a container for our lipstick, our car keys, wallet, and all those things we could not possibly survive a trip outside our houses without, a purse is a fashion accessory, and a powerful one at that too. A purse underscores your look and highlights the curves of the body. We may not realize it, but whoever looks at us most likely gets his or her eyes drawn first to the purse we are carrying. Therefore, a purse can build your look up or demolish it entirely.

Thankfully, finding the perfect purse that will flatter the body is not as hard as we thought it is. The key to finding the perfect purse is proportion: you should always match your purse with the size and shape of your body. The general rule is that large bags go with large bodies, while small bags go with small bodies.

If you are short and slim in build, you should pick a bag that is small and holds close to the body. Never get a big purse because it will drown you and make you appear lost beside it.

If you are the type that is tall and thin, a medium-sized bag will work best for you. In choosing a shoulder bag, though, pick something that fits nice and close under your arm and against your waist. Bags like that will create the illusion of curves on your lean body and will draw the eyes to your face.

Ladies with big hips will want to draw the eyes to the face and away from their lower bodies as well. The kind of bags that will do that trick for them are shoulder bags that hang just above the hips.

On the other hand, ladies with top-heavy figures will want to draw attention to their legs instead of to their upper bodies. Messenger bags, bags that have long straps or perhaps a handbag will do that for them. The size of the bag that will work best for top-heavy ladies is the slightly large one.

Plus size girls should stay away from bags that are too small; bags that are too small will only make them look bigger. They should avoid shoulder bags, but instead go for bags that are just a tad wider.

If you have that perfect hourglass figure, then any kind of bag is perfect for you. Any bag you choose would be flattering to your body. However, remember that the rules on proportion still apply even to ladies with the perfect curves. Do not get a bag that is too large or too small for your body.

Always remember that proportion is the rule for finding the perfect purse. Keep this in mind and the perfect purse will never be hard to find.

Flattering Shapes & Styles for Plus Sizes


Straight Pants 

Many retailers make tapered-leg pants for plus-size women, but that is not the most flattering option. Pants with tapered legs tend to make any woman's shape look like an ice cream cone, which can be particularly unflattering for a plus-size woman. Instead, choose a shape extends straight down from the hip to the floor. This will give your body a streamlined shape and will lengthen your legs. Choose both dress pants and jeans in this style. To further lengthen and slim your shape, pair these pants with a high heel.

Colors 

Everyone says that black is slimming. And while that is true, plus-size women don't have to purchase a wardrobe dominated by black dresses and pantsuits. Choose some black outfits, but go with other colors as well. Choose darker shades, such as crimson, gray or eggplant for monotone outfits. Pairing blue jeans or pants with a lighter color, such as yellow or pink, can bring attention to your face.

Shirts 

Many different types of shirts can look good on plus-size figures. Try a V-neck top, a low scoop neck top or a top with a polo collar. All of those necklines are flattering for plus-size figures because they help create a vertical lines. Shirts with boat necklines or square necks create a horizontal line and add bulk to the body, so they can be unflattering. Choose a shirt with sleeves that come to the elbow, as that can help balance the figure. Shirts should also fit a plus-size woman well. They should not be short, so that you have to tug them over your abdomen all the time. Select a shirt that is not tight, but also is not loose.


A-Line 

If you're considering purchasing a dress, consider an A-line style. The bust line for A-line dresses hits just below the bust, which is often the smallest part of a plus-size woman's body. The dress falls down from there and covers any features the woman does not want to emphasize. Try an A-line dress with three-quarter length sleeves because that can also help slim your arms.

Like many bodily ailments, a cataract develops usually not through any fault of your own but is generally a part of the ageing process, this is a problem that a major number of senior citizens face when their natural eye lens gets clouded which obviously blurs and distorts their vision, the vision would be a lot like if thick greasy oil were spilled all over a camera lens and if you were to then look through it.ch will not even take fifteen minutes to be completed.

  • What Exactly Are Eye Floaters?
  • How Harmful Are Eye Floater?

  • Preventative Cure for Eye Floaters
Floaters in the eye are often experienced as “objects” or “shadows” that cross in front of a person’s field of vision. Most floaters are harmless and will go away without any treatment. A cure for eye floaters is available, although no treatment is recommended for the majority of cases.
Am I At Risk For Floaters Eye?
“Floaters Eye” is more common than most people think. According to the National Eye Institute (NEI) floaters seem to be a normative part of the aging process. About 50% of people over the age of 70 report seeing eye floaters and it is not uncommon for floaters to occur in anyone over the age of 40. Floaters are also more common in people who fit into one or more of the categories listed below:
  • Diabetics
  • Nearsightedness (myopia)
  • Pregnant women
  • Cataract surgery patients
What Exactly Are Eye Floaters?
Sometimes floaters are caused by broken blood vessels in the eye sustained from an injury, but the most common eye floater causes are a normal part of the aging process. Protein floaters in eye are usually caused by tiny bits of solid tissue that collect in the Vitreous Gel of the eye. Approximately 80% of the eyes volume is vitreous gel. The vitreous gel is the thick clear fluid that fills the eyeball. When we are young the vitreous is a firm, almost solid, gelatinous substance. As we age, the vitreous turns to liquid. The process of the vitreous transitioning from a solid like gel into a more liquid form is called Syneresis. During the syneresis process, some of the more solid vitreous tissue or “floaters” cast a shadow on the retina as they pass by. Although the floaters are actually clear, it is the shadow that gives them the appearance of being dark. They are experienced as dark specks, cobwebs, globs, strings, dots, clusters or specks.
How Harmful Are Eye Floater?
Floaters in the eye can be annoying and distracting; they usually are not a sign of more serious eye problems. Although most floaters will disappear after a while, in reality they don’t actually go away. What happens is that you simply get used to them and your brain filters them out. It is very much like what happens to our sense of smell when you put on cologne or perfume. When you first put it on it is very noticeable. As you wear it, you get used to the smell and it barley registers to you at all, although other people can easily pick up the aroma.

In rare cases, eye floaters can be a sign of more serious problems related to your eye health such as a vitreous hemorrhage (retinal bleeding), carotid artery disease, diabetic retinopathy, and a retinal detachment or tear. If you experience any of the following symptoms call your physician and schedule an examination immediately.
When To Call Your Doctor
  • Decreased or impaired vision due to floaters
  • Sudden appearance of black dots that block vision
  • A large number of “big” floaters
  • An rapid increase in the amount of floaters over a period of minutes or hours
  • Loss of peripheral vision
  • Headaches or pain followed by the appearance of floaters
  • A blow to the head followed by an increase in the amount of floaters

Why Eye Exams Are Considered Important?

There are several reasons why an eye exam is important. The main one is that our eyes are our windows to the world. If we are unable to see correctly, we will suffer a disadvantage that will work against our development as individuals, personally and professionally. As in the world of nature, where any disadvantage on your side can prove fatal, the same can happen to you. From the most tragic one, like a car accident, to the most trivial, like not recognizing someone important to you.

What kind of people requires lenses then? Usually, kids are the first ones that go through an eye exam. Worried parents do not want that their children suffer headaches trying to read their stuff at school, or being unable to participate in activities due to the limitations imposed by nature.

However, what about adults? Eyes are as any kind of organ, and there comes a moment in which their efficiency starts to decline. You don't believe it? Try to eat the same things that you ate when you had 20 years of age. It is impossible to do it unless you want to suffer from heartburn.

The same thing happens with your eyes. You use them every hour, every day of the year for decades. No wonder then that they start to loose some of their abilities.

Eye Glasses

As it can be seen, virtually everybody requires periodic eyeglass and eye exams. Remember that it isn't a matter of age. Today you could have 20/20, but next year, the accumulation of long hours of work could start to make its toll. Do not wait until it is too late.

Finally, do not worry about the cost of eye exams. Almost all lens stores offer a free eye exam; and you may even find a store with a free eye exam and glasses offer (usually, you will require to buy a set of expensive lenses before being able to use it). So, they are cheap and it involves one of the most important organs of your body. What else could you ask for?

So, visit your favorite store (if you don't have one, just go to the nearest mall. There you will find, at least, one store that can make you an eye exam chart), and order your lenses today. Or, if you want to know now if you really need lenses, make an online eye exam. It won't cost you a dime.

Get Serious! Get Prepared for Eye Exams

Thanks to the internet, today we may be able to perform an online eye exam in order to determine if we require lenses or not. If the results determine that you do require lenses, then you will have to follow an eye exam chart, so the ophthalmologist can determine how serious your defect is. So, let's learn more about eye exam results and its benefits.

What Is An Eye Exam?

An eye exam is a medical evaluation of your optical globes in order to determine if there are any problems with them. Usually, we consider that the solution for all the ailments that an eye can suffer is the use of lenses, but that is an incorrect appreciation. Lenses are only but one solution. There are conditions for which a pair of glasses won't do any good.

The most basic kind of exam that every professional does to a patient consists of an external eye exam and a visual acuity exam. In the case of the external eye exam, the specialist will inspect your eyelids, the tissue surrounding it, the conjunctiva, the sclerathe, the cornea and the iris. As you can see, there are several things to check in an eye, like the refraction eye exam or the laser safety eye exam.

In the case of the visual acuity exam, the examination is a bit different. You won't be revised for any sign of physical deterioration, but for your eye performance. That is, how well are you able to see and notice things at different distances. After you have been checked, the ophthalmologist will determine if you require any kind of further tests.

For example, one of them is an ophthalmoscopy, which detects if a patient has cataracts. This test lets the doctor look directly to the retina and the tissue that is located in the back of the eye. In order to perform this test, a special kind of eye drops need to be used in the patient eyes. These eye drops have the ability to dilate the pupil, making the examination much easier.

Another kind of test is the intraocular pressure. The intention of this test is to determine the amount of outflow, and the resistance of the outflow, of the aqueous humour of the eye. As you may have noticed, there are certain tests that an online eye exam won't be able to cover.

Both the lips and the eyes being heavily made up can be a bit too much, even for the prettiest woman. Emphasizing the mouth or the eyes usually works better, depending on what area of your face you would like to draw attention to.

Vitamins For The Eyes

Minerals are inorganic compounds (Carbon free) that help the body metabolize vitamins in the body. They assist in the production of necessary nutrients and help the body balance key ingredients in health such as vitamins and enzymes. Minerals also affect chain reactions in the body elsewhere as well. They (minerals) are electrically charged and help the movement of chemicals between the cells of the body.

The chemicals are released and absorbed to a large degree by the minerals present in the cellular environment. An imbalance to this ebb and flow can have detrimental consequences to health and function of the eye. This is important in sight in part because this flow of information (electricity) is necessary for every element in sight, from physical movement to interpreting the information that the eyes receive and transmit to the brain.
