FORMAL DRESSING CAN AFFECT SUCCESS

The stereotypical image of a university student is someone who has just rolled out of bed and has barely made it to class. And as university student, you have all had mornings when you wake up late and only have time to grab our bags and go to class.

Part of this image is clothing choice. Now the main argument is function versus comfort. Is it more important to be comfortable or functional? I say that it is much more important to be functional. When a person dresses up or looks presentable, he gets much more respect. As the old saying goes, “Dress for the job or career you want to have.”

One example is professionals. For instance, if your teacher wears shorts and a T-shirt to class, he or she isn’t going to be taken as seriously as if he or she dressed in slacks and a button-down.

The same thing can be said for students. If a student shows up in sweatpants, he or she can expect to be taken less seriously. The phrase “look good to feel good” comes to mind. Appearance is something engrained into our society. Part of the reason people go to the gym, read fashion magazines and take showers is because appearance matters and makes a difference in how people see you and how you see yourself. However, there’s more to the argument for why what you wear matters.

A February study by the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology shows that how you dress affects not just how people perceive you, but your own cognitive processes. If you wear a certain type of clothing, and know what that clothing stands for or represents, you will see an improvement in the capacities associated with that clothing. For instance, if you dress like a doctor — white coat and all — you will supposedly pay more attention to details.

So, as a student, you should always be looking to put your best foot forward — for the sake of your academic performance.

Another motivator for looking presentable is so you can be social and attentive. If you find yourself looking like a mess, you feel less self-confident, and therefore might be less likely to engage with other people, according to a study by Northwestern University.

When you wear your sweatpants and sweatshirt to class, you will plug in your headphones, walk to class and plug back in when you leave. By doing this, you deprive yourself and others in the class of an important element of college: socialization.

Given that the U is a commuter campus, many of us come to class and go home with little social interaction. We should do our best to interact in the few instances where we can and not let poor clothing choices get in the way.

Make sure you are presentable and comfortable ­— get up a few minutes earlier, take a shower, brush your teeth and get ready for the day. It will help you get internships, better grades, the love of your life and friends that you might never have.

GETTING RID OF BELLY FAT.

Information we make available here , you just can't get anywhere else.
A follower sent us this question asking how she can get rid of belly fat.
But let's think of it ! Who really doesn't want a flat belly. Yet hours of crunches , cardio , dieting isn't even giving you results  😅
People might tell you don't eat large meals , "dey chop am small small" but really is that gonna make you have the belly type you can flaunt in a crop top. 😢😢
9JASTYLECHANNEL to your rescue again 👏👏👏😆😆

These are things you should know and work on to TOTALLY get rid of belly fat.
1) Calm down: Too much stress can contribute to a fatty belly. I bet you didn't know this. Okay let me break it down.
Stress increases levels of a hormone called cortisol in our body. The hormone that seems to
direct fat to our middle.
To keep levels low, try this 5- to 10-minute stress reducer:
Find a quiet, comfortable place to sit. Next, take several
slow, deep breaths to help clear your mind. Continue
breathing deeply and repeat the word "one" to yourself as
you exhale. (If you get distracted, just bring your focus back
to the word "one.") Practice this for 5 to 10 minutes once or
twice a day.
2) Skip the alcohol: As a girl , I don't know what you are doing with alcohol. It increases the cortisol level which directs fat to your belly
3) Drink up: Not alcohol but water.
Take nothing less than 3 bottles of aquadana or Eva water every day. It's just N50 per bottle 😞😞😞
You need to see one of our female style editors. Rock solids abs!
4) You gotta stop  smoking: "It keeps me thin," proclaim many
smokers. But the truth is that smokers tend to have more
abdominal fat than nonsmokers.
5) Eat more fiber:  Not only is fiber great for overall weight
loss (it fills you up so you don't eat as much), it also
prevents constipation, which can cause your tummy to
bulge, To stay regular, aim for 22 to 25 g of
fiber a day by eating more whole grains, fruits, and
vegetables; or try a fiber supplement such as Metamucil.

Do have a good day.

HOW GIRLS WANT THEIR MEN TO LOOK

We've been talking alot about how men should dress and build their own style, but we haven't said much about how girls actually like men to look

Our survey reflects , that girls actually want the 3 "Cs"
Clean , Crisp and Confidence in men.

Yes my friend,
Clothes can attract women.
But how can you dress to impress a woman because catching her eye isn't so much about the clothes you're wearing my friend.

There are some things you can do to help yourself.
You see, there are few rules to follow to dress in a manner to attract the type of girl you want.
Also there are certain things girls do perceive as part of who you're along with your style, which could be your body language
and the  overall "vibe" she gets from you.

Now to the main deal..
Make sure your clothes
are clean, relatively wrinkle-free, and that they
match.
If you're wearing dress clothes, take
special care to make sure that your belt and
shoes match and complement your shirt, tie,
and pants choices.
If you're wearing jewelry,
make sure it's all in the same tone.
Make sure
the style of the outfit matches from top to
bottom.
If your look is cohesive and well-kept,
you'll be more likely to attract a woman no
matter what your general style is.

Above all, you've got to buy your jeans tight, guys,
knowing they'll stretch. Jeans that are too big are, in
my opinion, men's number-one fashion mistake.

How To Color-Coordinate Your Wardrobe With Your Bag Without Overmatching

Does your bag need to match perfectly with your shoes? Do you need to make sure there is one color element present in the bag or shoes to match the color of your outfit?
One day you’d hear fashion pundits decrying the overmatched look on some celebrity. The next you’d hear them singing praises about it because “the look came together very well” on some model.
The key to doing the mix-match look well is to do it with moderation. The bottom line? Your comfort level.
I believe that the head-to-toe one-color look works best with the right cut when it comes to clothes, and with neutral shades. It is more or less widely accepted to wear an all-black ensemble (black dress, black shoes, black bag), but unless you are in mourning, it’s good to put a little color on your face—perhaps some light-pink blush on your cheeks, or if you’re bold enough, bright red lips.
It is also common to see an all-white ensemble (white shirt, white trousers, white loafers and white bag)—I have seen this look on “ladies who lunch,” and they work it quite flawlessly. All white gives off that breezy, laid-back feel, which is also why this look is most at home on the beach.
Over a week or so ago, Jennifer Lopez was seen with her new boyfriend in Miami carrying off a very casual, all-nude (take note, she was not nude) look—from her nude tank top and jeans, to her nude pochette and her nude-toned Valentino studded sandals. It worked.

When it comes to brights,  the one-color look can be more difficult to pull off. An all-red ensemble may be too harsh, especially when matched with an all-red bag and a pair of all-red shoes—unless you are about to ring in Chinese New Year and want to make sure you get to catch all the luck.
And you might not want to do this all-red look if you’re attending a Chinese banquet—believe me, it would not be good to blend in with the red tablecloth on the banquet table! And it certainly might look strange if you wear an all-green outfit and match it with a same-color, different-shade bag and shoes unless you are willing to be mistaken for an elf or, worse, a leprechaun.
Again, there is no real rule out there against this, as it all boils down to how comfortable you are with what you wear—although I’m sure you wouldn’t want to be the object of ridicule by those who see you.
Now, if you are not too sure about your look, it’s time to learn the art of proper bag and shoe matching. When it comes to a solid-colored bright ensemble, a bag and a pair of shoes in either black or nude shade are safest, as those colors work to break down a bright color’s “strength.”
If you are willing to experiment, you don’t even have to match your bag color with your shoe color. Check out the color wheel (you can search for this on the Internet easily) to find complementary shades to the color of your outfit/bag/shoes, and work from there.
If you like to web-crawl, check out style blogs to see how bloggers integrate different colors of bags and shoes with their clothes. And if you feel emboldened after also poring over fashion magazines, try carrying printed bags—and why not, wear printed shoes, too! It may get confusing to color-coordinate or to color-complement/contrast, but never forget to enjoy the process of matchmaking.

How To Wear Waist Beads

The biggest misconception I constantly hear about wearing waist beads is that you have to be a size 0 with a flat stomach. Which is the farthest from the truth. Women of all ages and sizes wear waist beads! I have Grandmothers and women who have 52” size waists buying my waist beads. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have a flat stomach, because they are for YOU to wear.
Traditionally worn under clothes by African women, waist beads have several different meanings. Ranging from rites of passage, to enticing your husband to healing and rejuvenation. The art of adorning ones self has been practiced since the beginning of time. In Egypt, waist beads were called “girdles”. All the women wore them and it was a uniform for pre-pubescent girls with out any sexual connotation. But usually servants or dancers wore them and are shown in wall relief’s wearing them and nothing else!
In West Africa, waist beads have several names.; Jel-Jelli, Jigeda, Giri-Giri, Djalay Djalay or Yomba. They’re always worn under clothes. In Ghana women knew that waist beads helped form their body into a particular shape and adult women wear beads to sexually stimulate the male. In other parts of West Africa, women would wear waist beads with bells on them, and when they walked it would make a jingling noise. Dipping them in oil scented the beads.
When you add stones, waist beads take on healing qualities. Depending on ailment or what needs to be enhanced (i.e. love, physic powers, balancing), various semi-precious stones can be included in the design of your waist beads.


It’s only now in modern times, that waist beads are becoming more visible. Pants are getting lower and lower, and women are showing more skin than ever. So why not adorn this blank canvas with beautiful beads. But if showing your stomach in not for you, it’s still all good. You can take glee in knowing that you are wearing something special and beautiful. I always tell women when you buy fancy lingerie; you wear them under your clothes for you or who you would like to see them. Waist beads are exactly the same!

How to measure yourself:

Measure yourself on bare skin, where you would like your beads to fall. Make sure the measuring tape is snug, but not tight and not to loose. Please don’t suck it in!! If you’ve never worn waist beads before, measure right below your belly button. If you have a tummy, measure underneath it. Measure lower if you would like your beads to fall lower. If you would like your beads to be worn over clothes, measure as above but over clothes. Please do not use manufacturer clothing size as a gauge for your waist size. Each brand varies in sizes.
