Hello everyone!

Today I'm back with another fashion-related post. Anyone who loves clothes and fashion knows the secret to a perfect fit is wearing the perfect undergarments. I'm sure many of you have noticed that shapewear is significantly rising in popularity. Indeed for many years, shapewear had a reputation for being uncomfortable and even somewhat painful. Nowadays, shapewear has evolved into fairly pleasant garments that can be worn all day. For today's post, I'm collaborating with Shapellx to tell you everything you need to know about shapewear and show you some items I'm sure you'll love.

Shapellx's shapewear will help you feel confident, sexy, and gorgeous no matter your dress size or how much you weigh. There's a good reason why most celebrities wear shapewear; they want to feel and look their best, and we all deserve that!

Many women, myself included, believe that certain clothes don't look good on us. However, these insecurities seem to fade away when wearing the right shapewear. Wearing shapewear highlighting our best features can be a huge confidence boost! Sometimes all we need is a good waist trainer for women. Waist trainers can also improve posture and give you an instant hourglass figure.

Shapellx is a size-inclusive brand which offers body shapers for women of all sizes. If you are looking for a plus size waist trainer or body shaper, look no further. On their website, you will find undergarments with various compression levels, that will sculpt and contour your body.  

For example, the item below is the perfect waist trainer to boost your workouts while still feeling supported. 

NeoSweat® Waist Trainer with Detachable Rubber Strings

I love Shapellx's full body shapers. Some of their full-body shapers look like traditional shapewear, while others look like sexy lingerie. Below are two of my favourite bodysuits. I think they are simply gorgeous!

The first is a black lace bodysuit that smooths and lifts the stomach, bum, waist, and back.

It's available in sizes S to 3XL

The second bodysuit is the perfect undergarment to wear under strapless and backless outfits. Like the other bodysuit, this one is available in sizes S to 3XL. It comes in two colours; black and beige.

AirSlim® Backless U Plunge Thong Bodysuit

On their website, you will also find packs & bundles. When purchasing these, you can save more money! Who doesn't love a good deal! At the moment, there is a 4th of July sale going on. So what are you waiting for; go browse shapellx.com right now!

Hello everyone!

Summer has finally arrived, and this is the perfect time to show off a new ear or body piercing, especially since probably your clothes won’t be hiding it. Lucky, every time I post a piercing-related article on this blog, you seem to like it, which is great; because I love writing about this topic. In this post, I want to talk to you about when to get pierced. Is there a better season to get a piercing? Keep reading to find out!

When is the perfect time to get pierced? What are the seasonal pros and cons to consider before going through with a piercing? Whether you choose to get your piercing during the hot summer months or the cooler winter once depends primarily on your lifestyle.

After your piercing, you can expect a 25-60% chance of slight swelling within the first 3 days. Circulation will increase, and blood will rush to the area. Areas with better blood circulation, such as earlobes, lips, nose and nipples, may experience up to 60% chance of swelling. 

During the warmer seasons, the steady blood flow to the pierced area increases, which can even speed up the healing process and flush away toxins on the skin. Remember that most piercings take around 6-8 weeks to heal. Most people want to head to the beach or pool for a swim but keeping the pierced area clean and dry (during the healing process) is vital. Therefore, getting your piercing in the springtime will allow enough healing time to show it off in the summertime!

During the colder seasons, certain areas like the ears and nose experience reduced blood flow due to the cold. However, less blood flow also means less possibility of swelling. When you get a new piercing, it’s best not to touch it to allow it to heal. One of the many benefits of getting a new piercing in the wintertime is that wearing layers of clothes will help prevent you from touching a new piercing. Still, you should be mindful of what winter clothes you wear; you want to avoid clothing that will catch on your piercing or rub against it.

As long as you follow the piercing aftercare, you can get a new piercing whenever is most convenient for you. 

I hope you found this post helpful. Are you planning any new piercings in the near future? Let me know in the comment section below!

Talk to you soon...

 Hello everyone!

Autumn/Fall is only a few days away and, with the new season come new nail polish colour trends.   In today's post, I will share my favourite colours for the coming season!

Let me start with one of my favourite nail colour trends;

• Green

Green nail polishes are becoming very popular in every shade you can think of - from olive and sage to hunter green and jade.

Since this is the nail colour I am wearing right now, I'm adding a "nails of the day" (NOTD) post in this article.  Back when I started this blog, I used to publish these types of posts quite regularly.  

• Deep nude

Nude colours have an elegant and clean look.  Selecting a slightly deeper tone is a great way to update your look for the new season.

• Deep red

Reds and burgundies are traditional autumn and winter colours but hugely popular this year, nonetheless. 

• Brown

From chocolate brown, tan, or taupe, there are various shades of brown you can choose from. 

• Mix and match

When you cannot decide which autumn nail polish shade you want, you can always wear a different colour on each nail. 

What is your favourite nail polish colour?  Leave a comment and let me know!

Have a great weekend!
