Beach Fashion Trends for 2012

April 27, 2012 3:43 pm

Every year, with the approach of summer weather, new trends hit the runway to inspire your beach fashion. If you’re looking for a way to look fresh and stylish on the beach this summer, try out these new trends that will be hitting the shoreline this summer!

Bold Animal Prints
If you’re looking for a way to add some pizzazz to your beach wear, opt for a bold animal print. Whether you opt for a golden leopard print or a striking zebra stripe, you’ll be sure to turn some heads!

Printed Sheer Beach Cover-ups
Whether you wear it like a sarong around your waist, or secure it around your neck like a toga, sheer cover-ups are a must have item when you’re lounging on the beach or going for a walk along the water’s edge.

One-Piece Beachwear & Matching Bags
Ladies, rejoice! The bikini is not your only stylish bathing suit option this year. If you’re looking for a bit more coverage, go with a simple one-piece bathing suit with a matching beach bag for an extra style punch!  

High-Waisted Bikini
This look has a vintage 1950s feel.  You still have the same sexy top, but the waist of the bottom piece sits just below the belly button. Pair this bikini with some vintage-looking oversized shades, and you’ll look like a beach pin-up.

Tips For Better Work-Life Balance

April 24, 2012 11:11 am

As the economy gets tighter and tighter, many people are having a hard time balancing the demands of home and work. This can create an ever-increasing vortex of stress that can ruin your life. Here are some tips for keeping your life and work in harmony.

Making time for exercise can be difficult when your schedule is already packed, but experts agree that paying attention to your body can bear serious dividends. Exercise increases the production of endorphins and helps your body work at a higher efficiency.

Plan ahead for relaxation time. It’s tempting to multi-task at all times, but you need to set aside at least an hour each day for pure relaxation. Put down the iPhone and pick up a book, go for a walk, or do something else that doesn’t relate to work. Your brain needs leisure time too.

If you have household tasks or errands that consume too much time, consider outsourcing them. While hiring a housecleaner seems like a luxury to some, think about what you’re paying against the cost. Your hourly rate is probably a lot higher than a cleaner’s, and they’ll do a better job.

Don’t be afraid to say no to social engagements. It can be really difficult, but you need to make time for yourself before you make time for anybody else. Make sure that parties, nights out and the like are actually meaningful for you.
