Things to wear this summer

Well there are lots of designs to choose from. To begin with, you can pick one of key season trends- floral pattern and peasant chic, stripes, nautical chic or Flamenco style.
You might want to try sweet little posies printed or embroidered on a floaty blouse paired with jeans at the weekend. Add a linen suit if you are planning to wear it to the office.
Floral dress can come useful in every occasion- be it picnic or wedding. Usually cotton or linen clothes are preferred during the day while silk clothes make you look elegant during night.

Stripes happen to be the choice of all ages. Horizontal stripes have a widening effect while vertical striped trousers has magical leg lengthening effect. Stripes go well with nautical look too. Chief colors for stripe include red, white and navy with splashes of black.

White trousers are a great relief during hot temperature. It looks great with a striped navy top or a classic white T- shirt and a pair of canvas plimsolls.
The white T- shirt with jeans and flat leather thongs is a dashing look for weekend style.

For flamenco look, you can either have a frilled neck line or a slashed frilled hem line.
Classic white, black or Pucci- inspired prints work well for chic beach wear.

Ethnic styled flip flops in leather or canvas is a trend setter in shoes for this summer. Heels can be wore in the evening but I would suggest to go with flats during day.
Accessories like sun glasses and a summer hat will make your summer wardrobe complete.

1. Physical stress: 
Any stress like surgery or a car accident or severe illness can cause temporary hair loss.Hair has a programmed life cycle- a growth phase, rest phase and shedding phase. Stress pushes most hair to shedding phase and you have hair fall. But this loss is temporary. Soon hair starts regenerating once your health starts improving. Hair loss often becomes noticeable three to six months after trauma.

The daily value for Vitamin A is 5000 International Units(IU)  for adults and kids above 4 yrs of age. The medication if supplies excessive Vitamin A, then the patient is bound to have a hair loss. But hair starts growing once excessive Vitamin A is stopped.

4. Lack of protein:

Whenever a body does not get sufficient amount of protein from a diet, it tries to fulfill the gap by shutting down hair growth. It can happen about 2 to 3 months after the body starts getting insufficient protein. but the hair loss is temporary.

5. Male pattern Baldness:
About 2 out of 3 men experience hair loss by age 60. It occurs due to imbalance in genes and male sex hormones. You can either apply cream like minoxidil( Rogaine) or take oral medication like finasteride( Propecia).

6. Heredity:
If you come from a family where women started to have hair loss at certain age, you are more likely to have it. Minoxidil(Rogaine) can be applied in case of women too.

7. Female Hormones:
If you are taking birth control pills or if you are in state of menopause, it changes the hormonal balance leading to hair loss.

8. Emotional Stress:
Emotional stress will not actually precipitate hair loss but will exacerbate the problem that is already there.

9. Anemia:
Almost 1 in 10 women aged 20 through 49 suffers from anemia due to iron deficiency. Hair loss is one of the symptoms of anemia.

Lupus is another auto- immune disease which causes permanent hair loss.

14. Dramatic weight loss:
Sudden weight loss creates stress in a body which causes hair loss. It may take about 6 months for control of hair fall.

15. Chemo therapy:
Chemo therapy destroys rapidly dividing cells including hair. Hair regenerates once therapy is stopped but it may have different color and texture.

16. Polycystic ovary syndrome:
It is the case of having an excess of androgens in a body.

 17. Use of anti depressants and blood thinner:
Blood thinners and blood pressure drugs like Beta- blockers and non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen may cause hair loss.

Over styling of your hair over years like tight braids or hair weaves or chemical relaxers you use to straighten your hair may lead to hair fall.

17Easy weight loss steps

 17 ways to lose weight fast:
1.Swap the all- or- nothing approach for one or two healthy switch- ups in your daily routine.
Dieting means not only to count calorie that comes from your dinner but also those that comes from every food you eat. Most importantly, there is no specific timing for dieting.

2. Swap your go- to order:
Make your visits to restaurants less frequent. Choose the one with less calorie if you must eat at restaurant.

3.Skip the salty aisle:
Do not take snacks to your home. In this way, you need to come to store every time you are tempted and this very inconvenience will make you forget about snacks.

4.Have a 300- calorie breakfast:
It is not a good idea to skip the breakfast.Skipping it will only make you more hungry. You can have a sand witch with natural peanut butter and apple butter for a breakfast.

5. Try fitting on your old skinny jeans.
 This determination will always give the energy required. You can run at least 20 hours a day during your lunch hour.

6. Leave ill habit:
Just quit your smoking habit and join the gym club.

7. Do a purge:
Substitute the food you are over- indulge in with similar but less calorie foods. For example an ice cream can be replaced with Special Chocolaty Delight Cereal.

8. Healthy up your happy hour:
Usually happy hour comes in the evening right after your office work. Then you indulge yourself in the party mood and get tempted with high calorie food. So you might want to change your happy hour time and also the happy hour meal if possible.

9.Get fired up:
Take motivation to get involve in exercise from as many things as possible. You might want to try loading your mp3 with songs revoking high level of energy.

10. Pile on the veggies:
Veggies usually have less calories than meat. So give focus on veggies whenever eating.

11. Give your attention to exercise:
Try fitting in the exercise whenever possible. Exercise varies from dancing to simply jumping. You do not have to always go to gym club for exercise. You can dance while dish washing.

What to wear for party

1.For Men:

A tuxedo can never go out of date. Although not to look too conventional, i suggest you not wear a tie. You might also try slipper with your tuxedo. Asking the host is not a bad idea if its possible. This way you don't have to worry about looking awkward.
 A pair of casual pants with navy blazer is also fine idea.
You might even try dark jeans with smoking jacket. You just have to remember to make one thing seems little off so that the whole attire looks appealing.
All faded jeans goes well with scoop- neck T-shirts.
You might want to try Plush velvet jackets in dark blue or rich burgundy with silk jacquard dress trousers.
My favorite is the tuxedo with a pair of draw string trousers and a plain black T-shirt. But you can also try a velvet tux jacket and put it with a white shirt and black jeans and black tie.

2.For Women

For bridal party

A bridal party does not always remain a bridal party. Celebrations like Engagement party, bridal shower, bachelorette party and rehearsal party comes unhinged with the bridal party. You need the killer outfit for all those occasions too. Here are some of the lists for you.

For Engagement Party:
A lace sheath is sophisticated yet festive. You might want to go for blue color as it will flatter the skin tone of any bride- to- be. A crystal bracelet as an accessory goes well with the sheath.

For Bridal Shower:
Opt for a dress with a unique detail like saturated water color print.A full length skirt with a pearl necklace is the perfect outfit for bridal shower.

For Bachelorette Party:
You might want to try a pink sequin dress for this special occasion.The edgy earrings made out of black crystals will be a perfect accessory for the sequin.

For Rehearsal dinner:
Anything that has a classic cut and bold pop of color looks fine for this occasion.
