Four Fresh Fashion Tips to Transform Your Winter Wardrobe

After the sparkle and glitter of the holidays you are likely dressed in a shade of navy, brown, or black.  ImageUp^TM can help you avoid a style rut from January through March with a few quick and easy tips. You’ll look polished and chic with these simple outfit upgrades that include three must have accessories and a pop of color for pizzazz!

1. Consider wearing tailored classics in a bold color from head to toe. Monochromatic dressing is slenderizing, flattering and chic.
2. Add a pair of new kitten heel boots. They provide a fashionable foundation as well as stability in the icy, wintery weather.
3. Layer gold chains. Mixing your favorite necklaces will create a vintage look without much effort. Long necklaces add a slenderizing vertical to your outfit.
4. Cinch everything with a belt. A belt is the finishing touch to a high waist skirt or over a menswear blazer, creating a stylish, classic wrap look.

Three Small Changes for a Healthier You in 2018!

Millions of Americans make and soon abandon well-intentioned New Year’s resolutions because often perfection is the expectation. ImageUp^TM can help you achieve moderate changes that will impact your success and have huge payoffs.

1. MOVE MORE – Walking is one of the easiest activities to add since it requires no special equipment or training. Thirty minutes of walking a few times a week around the neighborhood is a great start. However, if half an hour doesn’t fit into your life right now, park further away from your destination, take the stairs instead of the elevator, hand deliver a message, or walk 10 minutes at lunch. The health benefits are huge – a decrease in stress and blood pressure and increase cardiovascular health, which can add years to your life.
2. MINDFUL EATING – Mindful eating means thinking about the portion size and health benefits of each meal: thus eliminating binge and emotional eating. Mindfulness can slow consumption and prevent overeating. Also, this thoughtful approach toward food helps you decide whether you are truly hungry or just thirsty. Drink an 8 ounce glass of water and wait 20 minutes to see if you are hungry.
3. SLEEP MORE – Experts report Americans are not getting enough sleep and the consequences of this deficit goes beyond grogginess during the day. Not getting sufficient shut eye has physiologic effects on the body, including a greater risk for becoming overweight and/or diabetic.  According to the Harvard Medical Center’s Division of Sleep Medicine, lack of sleep in the short term can affect mood, judgment, learning, and memory.  Long-term sleep deprivation can result in cardiovascular disease and is even the leading cause of fatal car accidents.  Individuals may need more or less than the recommended eight hours to function well, but having a good sleep routine is important for everyone. Refrain from using a book, tablet, laptop, or cell phone to quiet your brain before bed. The right amount of ZZZ’s increases your productivity – putting you on top of your game!
