“How to Not Wear Black” by Anna Murphy – A Book Review

Recently I read the newly published book How to Not Wear Black by Anna Murphy, Fashion Director at The Times of London. The book is a practical guide to help you find your style and create your forever wardrobe. Also, we will find great tips on the pages of the book how to always look our best with the help of clothes and accessories that are right for us.

The title is very suggestive too – the author teaches us how we can embrace color in our lives and in our wardrobes. Many times we turn to our black clothes because it’s just simpler and easier – don’t we all have multiple pairs of black pants in our wardrobe that we wear almost every other day, not to mention the black blouses and sweaters, and of course LBDs? Anna Murphy shows us how to wear other than black. It’s not like we shouldn’t wear black anymore, it’s just we shouldn’t wear it all the time.

It was a fun and easy book to read, and I really enjoyed it. I found Anna Murphy’s suggestions and tricks really useful, easy to follow, and easy to adapt to our personal style and our wardrobe.

The book is structured in 15 chapters, and in each of these chapters the author talks about different aspects of our wardrobe and how we should approach it in order to enhance our style, as well as boost our confidence when choosing our outfit every morning.

In the first chapter for example, “Bodymapping”, we learn that before we build our perfect wardrobe, we need to figure out our body shape. According to Anna Murphy, there are seven main shapes of our bodies – neat hourglass, full hourglass, triangle, inverted triangle, column, rectangle and rounded. “Fashion is architecture. It is a matter of proportions”, Coco Chanel said once. Once we know which shape is our body, we can choose the right clothes to flatter us and to fit us best.

In the next chapters we learn how to start building our perfect wardrobe by reviewing our entire closet, keeping the good and getting rid of the bad. Anna Murphy suggests a great technique how to select the winner clothes which will make up our new and improved wardrobe. Some of the questions that we should ask ourselves when triaging each piece of clothing are if it fits, or if we look and feel great when wearing it, and this way we will know which pieces will stay and which will go.

Next great tips that Anna Murphy teaches us are how to combine black with color so that we don’t wear black all the time; how to choose the right colors for us depending on our skin tone; how to choose expressive patterns depending on our body shape. One of my favorite tricks that I learned from this book is how we can use patterns in our wardrobe in order to balance our figure. It’s also a great idea to use patterns in order to attract attention to those parts of our body that we love the most. For example, if you are a triangle, with narrow shoulders and full hips and thighs, then your best bet is a patterned top and a monochromatic skirt or pants. On the contrary, if you are an inverted triangle (wide shoulders and small hips), then wear monochromatic and simple clothes as tops, and patterned bottoms.

One of my favorite chapters in the book is the one dedicated to sustainable fashion (Chapter 8), as I am a big sustainable fashion enthusiast myself. Style is about attitude, it has nothing to do with money, or quantity. We don’t need to buy more, we just need to buy better. Every single effort that we make in order to be more sustainable in our sartorial choices counts – it counts where we buy our clothes from, how much and how frequently we shop for clothes, and so on. I can talk a lot about sustainable fashion, but I will only mention a few tricks that the author reminds us in the book (because we already know all of this already, we just need to be aware of it all the time) – buy less, and buy better. Buy what truly flatters your body, and you will wear it many times. Don’t buy one-time items, because they will just take up valuable space in your wardrobe and in your life. Buy from brands who commit to be sustainable. The author also shares a list of 20 sustainable fashion brands at the end of the chapter, and she encourages us to embrace a slower fashion style. Some of the brands and designers from Anna Murphy’s sustainable list were already familiar to me – Eileen Fisher, People Tree, Stella McCartney. Also, H&M Conscious and Mango Committed collections are on this responsible list – while H&M and Mango are two behemoths in the fast fashion world, these two collections are their forays into sustainability.

It is a great book for all those who love fashion, but also for those who might need a little boost of wardrobe confidence. It’s a book that will teach you how to make clothes in your wardrobe work full time for you.

Review: Acupuncture Session with Dr. Nekessa Remy at Integra Health Centre Downtown Toronto

Recently I was invited to try on a unique combination therapy by Dr. Nekessa Remy at the medical facility where she works, Integra Health Centre, a brand new state-of-the-art facility right in the heart of the financial district of downtown Toronto, and I gladly said yes. What I tried out and what I am about to review in this story is a combination therapy of acupuncture techniques, not used by any others in the medical community, so I was intrigued enough to accept the invitation.

Just to give you a little background here – if you think chiropractors simply “crack” backs, you’re not alone who thinks that. However, sports chiropractors, such as Dr. Remy, are trained in muscle work, such as Active Release Technique (ART) and Graston. These two types of muscle work are probably the best manual therapy for preventing injury and optimizing performance. This is why there’s always a sports chiropractor on Olympic and professional sports teams and this is why Dr. Nekessa Remy was part of the Pan American Games medical team in 2015.

With spring and summer upon us, we need to start thinking prevention and treatment.

Did you know that 80% of Ontario chiropractors report that gardening is the most common source of back and neck pain during the warm weather season?

Did you also know that one of the major causes of improper alignment is running? Major causes of improper alignment include running in the same direction on the same course every day; running often slanted surfaces, such as a beach; and not replacing shoes every few hundred miles.

This is why Dr. Remy has created a unique combination therapy to help treat these issues. This combination therapy consists of acupuncture and muscle release techniques, to get rid of pain; to alleviate tightness, tension and stretches; to increase flexibility along with an alignment adjustment; to ensure proper posture. When I got the invitation, she offered me to try this treatment out, as well as give me an assessment on posture and treat any issues related to sitting at a computer all day. And she also offered to show some new techniques using acupuncture for stress, sleep and to reduce wrinkles.

I had my appointment with Dr. Nekessa Remy last week, on Tuesday April 26th, at lunchtime. The medical facility where she conducts her practice, Integra Health Centre, is located at the Exchange Tower, at 130 King Street West, 13th floor. Everything is so modern and chic and cool in that tower, and in that whole area for that matter (we’re talking about the financial district here); but of course it is – the crème de la crème works, lives and breathes here, so no wonder. I have worked downtown Toronto in finance for the last 10 years, so going to Exchange Tower from 130 King Street West felt like having a nice lunch break from work on a usual day buried in finance.

When I met Dr. Nekessa Remy, we instantly hit on the right note, and I loved her bubbly personality right away. Customers were waiting for their medical appointments in the reception area, and there was a general good feeling in the office, which I sensed as soon as I arrived there, I could tell. Obviously, customers and patients felt good about themselves when they came at Integra Health Centre, because they felt taken care of, which is great of course, this is how a medical facility should be in the first place.

When we started our appointment, the first thing that Dr. Remy did was to show me around the office. There are several doctors working there, both practicing family medicine covered by OHIP and specialized and alternative medicine covered by private insurance.

Then we talked about acupuncture. I have never tried acupuncture, but apparently it’s a great stress reliever. Since I never tried it, I didn’t know how it works, and Dr. Remy assured me that it is not a painful procedure; the needles used for acupuncture are so thin that you barely feel that pinch. And I actually tried it on my hand while we were talking – Dr. Remy had me test one of these needles on my hand, and indeed it is not painful at all.

Then Dr. Remy took me to one of the acupuncture treatment rooms, she had me lie down, and she acupunctured my face.

Then she gave me 5 minutes to enjoy my acupuncture – that is to lie down on that treatment bench and relax for a few minutes. She left the room to come back later. So I took this time to completely relax and clear my head of everything. Boy was it so enjoyable just to lie down there and think of nothing whatsoever, and just to have my mind blanked out for a few minutes. How often do we do that, almost never? I don’t know about you, but I can tell for myself that I never really get to do that. Even when I go to sleep at night and I am supposed to clear out my head when I am getting ready to fall asleep, I still think about this and that and that… whatever concerns I may have on my mind on that particular day. Remember Sarah Jessica Parker in that I Don’t Know How She Does It movie, about a working mom of two who was thinking to-do lists at night before falling asleep? I am that person. Heck, time to take a break and decompress. So I was really enjoying this acupuncture session.

A few minutes later Dr. Remy came back, and she continued our session with a foot massage, another component of her practice at Integra Health Centre. The foot massage that Dr. Remy does is to relieve foot stress due to how we wear high heels. Women wear high heels all day long, be it work or weekend. Dr. Remy teaches her patients how to wear high heels wisely without affecting your general posture. Enjoy your high heels, but don’t be broken by them. One of the ways to do it, the most common way for that matter, is to avoid walking long distances wearing high heels, or avoid high heels on the commute, like TTC or suburban train. It’s a habit that I have had for years – wearing comfortable shoes while commuting to work (I live in the suburb and I take the train to downtown Toronto), and then changing into chicer and more elegant (and 5-inch high-heeled) shoes in the office. Some of my shoes have never been outside, because I have never worn them outside, since I have only worn them in the office, due to the fact that they are high heeled. Dr. Remy admitted to me that she does exactly the same, as she also commutes for work from outside of the city to downtown Toronto. Usually Dr. Remy prefers to focus on one treatment or the other for her patients, acupuncture or foot massage, rather than both at the same time, but she did it this way for me to show me both of them.

All in all, it was a great session which I really enjoyed. Dr. Remy cordially invited me to come to the centre on other occasions for another acupuncture or foot massage session, and I would love to come there again. No wonder why people looked so happy at Integra Health Centre on that day, Dr. Remy and her colleagues make them feel good about themselves, and this is how it should be in a doctor’s office.

Review: Samponul uscat Batiste

Astazi as vrea sa fac un review samponului uscat Batiste, un produs fabricat in Marea Britanie, actualmente senzatia blogurilor de frumusete. Mi l-am luat vara trecuta, in iunie, inca il mai am, ultima oara l-am folosit weekendul trecut, si in articolul de astazi voi descrie impresiile pe care le-am avut in urma utilizarii acestui produs, atat de apreciat de cele care il folosesc.

Prima oara am auzit de el de la Andreea Balaban, in unul din video-urile ei. Ma interesa demult sa gasesc un sampon uscat, dar nu cunosteam nici un brand care le produce, si a naibii ca nici timp sa scotocesc internetul nu aveam. Noroc de Andreea cu videoclipurile ei – cand a vorbit despre acest sampon pe blogul ei, mi-am facut imediat o nota mentala sa-mi iau si eu. Andreea a fost foarte incantata de acest sampon, ceea ce m-a convins si pe mine sa-mi iau unul. Nu stiam unde se comercializeaza, dar din fiericire am dat peste el absolut intamplator -- eram intr-o vineri seara la cumparaturi la HomeSense, l-am vazut pe raftul cu produse pentru ingrijirea parului, si imediat l-am pus in cos. Mi-am luat varianta XXL Volume. Erau trei sampoane Batiste pe raft la HomeSense, si primul meu impuls a fost sa mi le iau pe toate trei, "ca sa fie acolo"; dar pana la urma m-am gandit ca n-are rost sa ma grabesc si sa-mi iau atat de multe deodata, ci mai bine imi iau unul ca sa-l testez, sa vad daca imi place, si daca da, imi mai iau pe viitor.

L-am incercat a doua zi dimineata, sambata. In acea vineri seara nu m-am spalat pe cap (de obicei ma spal pe cap in fiecare zi), pentru ca ma gandeam ca o sa vreau sa-l incerc sambata, sa-l testez, sa vad cum este, cum functioneaza. Sambata dimineata eu si familia mea voiam sa facem o iesire la un muzeu de aviatie, si in timp ce ma pregateam pentru plecare, am testat si samponul.

Iata descrierea produsului:

Batiste Dry Shampoo XXL Volume is perfect for use between washes when you want amazing volume. A quick burst revitalises hair, removes excess grease and gives you ultimate volume, body and texture, making any style no-fuss with no need to backcomb!

How to use it
Shake vigorously before use. Keeping nozzle about 30 cm from hair, spray into roots. Massage through with fingertips. Brush and style.

Dupa ce l-am folosit, iata ce am constatat. Batiste da un volum grozav parului, si mai ales il face sa arate curat, (aproape) ca dupa spalat. Eu am parul gras si ma spal pe cap in fiecare zi, si atunci cand l-am testat prima oara ma gandeam ca daca as putea sa-mi schimb rutina sa ma spal pe cap o data la doua zile, iar intre doua spalari sa folosesc samponul Batise, pentru mine ar fi super, merita cu prisosinta sa il am in baie. Are o singura mica problema, nu grava ce-i drept -- cand il sprayezi, pudra aia se aseaza alba pe par, si imediat dupa sprayere arati ca si cum ai avea faina in cap. Dar daca perii parul, albeata pudrei se disperseaza si nu mai ai aspectul ala de faina in par. Iar volumul pe care il da -- WOW! Deci merita folosit, fara indoiala.

Atunci cand l-am cumparat vara trecuta, vorbeam cu o prietena despre acest sampon si dansa mi-a spus ca a incercat mai multe feluri de sampoane din astea uscate din comert, printre care Herbal Essences si Pantene, si acestea aveau o problema cu orificiul de sprayere, si anume dupa un timp acel orificiu se infunda, ceea ce facea utilizarea samponului imposibila. Speram ca Batiste nu va avea aceasta problema la fel ca unele sampoane massmarket, si din fericire, asa si s-a dovedit -- pana acum n-a avut nicio problema cu el, si functioneaza perfect.

Desi la inceput am fost tentata sa folosesc Batiste intre doua spalari, astfel incat sa-mi schimb rutina spalarii pe cap si sa nu ma mai spal pe cap in fiecare zi, trebuie sa spun ca pana la urma mi-am pastrat rutina de ingrijire a parului exact la fel, fara sa schimb nimic, adica sa ma spal pe cap in fiecare zi la fel cum o faceam si inainte, si sa folosesc Batiste doar pentru situatii de urgenta. De altfel, chiar acesta si este conceptul samponului uscat Batiste -- este menit doar pentru urgente, atunci cand n-ai avut timp sa te speli pe cap si cu acest produs iti revitalizezi parul pentru un scurt timp, pana cand poti sa ajungi la dus; dar nu este conceput pentru utilizare de rutina, si nicidecum nu este conceput pentru a rari ingrijirea parului. Parul trebuie spalat atunci cand este murdar, si frecventa spalarii parului este diferita de la o persoana la alta, in functie de tipul de par -- pentru mine e in fiecare zi, pentru altcineva poate fi o data la doua zile, sau la trei, sau o data pe saptamana, etc.

Cel mai mult mi-a folosit sa il am la indemana vara trecuta, in timpul vacantei road trip pe care am facut-o in august. Eu si John avem o casa mobila, si ultima noastra vacanta a fost o calatorie prin Canada si America timp de o saptamana cu RV-ul. Dusul si apa calda sunt perfect functionale in casa noastra mobila si am putut sa facem dus ca acasa, dar presiunea la apa nu este la fel de mare ca in baia de acasa. In timpul acestei calatorii cand faceam dus, nu m-am spalat si pe cap in fiecare zi, ci o data la doua zile, din cauza presiunii scazute la apa, care a facut spalatul pe cap mai dificil ca de obicei. Ei bine, samponul uscat Batiste mi-a prins foarte bine in aceasta vacanta, cand m-am spalat pe cap la doua zile, si intre spalari foloseam Batiste. Asa ca daca mergeti in vacanta cu rulota, unde presiunea la apa e mult mai scazuta, sau daca mergeti pur si simplu intr-o vacanta mai rustica (o cabana in creierii muntilor, cu conditii mai modeste si cu stele mai putine), samponul uscat Batiste va fi o comoara in geanta voastra de voiaj.

Iata si careva poze in care puteti sa vedeti cum arata parul meu, tratat cu samponul uscat Batiste. In primele doua poze, cu parul lasat liber, sunt la muzeul de aviatie din Hamilton pe care l-am vizitat vara trecuta; a fost prima oara cand am incercat samponul Batiste.

In urmatoarele doua poze sunt in Statele Unite, la Sault Sainte Marie (statul Michigan), in timpul vacantei road trip despre care va spuneam mai sus; parul prins in pony tail de data aceasta.

Inca mai am samponul in baie, am consumat pana acum aproximativ jumatate de continut, si l-am folosit doar pentru situatii de urgenta, si nu pentru ingrijirea de rutina a parului. Acum ma bucur ca n-am cumparat trei tuburi, ci numai unul -- probabil va mai dura cateva luni pana cand il voi consuma de tot. Dar sunt incantata de el, si cu siguranta il voi mai lua, va fi prezent in baia mea tot timpul.

Voi ce parere aveti despre acest produs? Il folositi, va place?

Sa aveti un weekend fantastic!

Review: Produse Lush

Lush este unul din brandurile mele de frumusete preferate, si asta datorita produselor lor naturiste si hand-made. Ador bombele lor de baie si sapunurile lor naturale hand-made! O sedinta de cumparaturi la Lush e o adevarata desfatare a simturilor! Nu merg prea des la Lush, dar atunci cand merg, imi ingadui bucuria sa dau iama in rafturi. :) Ultima oara am facut cumparaturi la ei in octombrie, si am cumparat doua sfere de baie, doua sapunuri hand-made naturiste, un sampon uscat, un balsam uscat, un gel de ras, un gel de dus, si in articolul de astazi mi-am propus sa scriu un review acestor produse. Ideea mi-a venit atunci cand am scris articolul meu recent dedicat aniversarilor din lumea frumusetii ale anului 2015, in care am mentionat Lush ca fiind un brand de frumusete ce tocmai si-a sarbatorit aniversarea de 25 de ani, fiind infiintat in 1990.

Produse Lush

Bombele de baie sunt produsele mele preferate de la Lush si imi iau de fiecare data cand merg acolo la cumparaturi. Asa am facut si de data aceasta, si am luat una pentru mine, si una pentru Alex (cea in forma de robotel e pentru copii). Pe ambele le-am mai folosit in trecut, mi-au placut cand le-am incercat prima oara, si acum am cumparat ceva "la sigur".

Sferele efervescente de baie cu arome marine imi plac cel mai mult, asa ca am luat-o pe aceasta cu alge. Am folosit-o pentru o baie relaxanta intr-o sambata seara cand familia mea dormea deja si am avut un pic de timp pentru mine, si am stat in cada aia o ora fara sa ma gandesc la nimic. Culoarea pe care sfera o degaja este la fel ca si culoarea oceanului, albastru marin, oooh, m-am simtit ca intr-un spa. Home spa. Si pielea dupa o baie cu aceasta sfera este fina si catifelata, un alt pro al produsului. Dar exista si un con -- algele alea din componenta sferei nu se dizolva in apa, ci raman pe fundul cazii; data viitoare voi lua altfel de sfere, fara alge in ele. :)

Sfera (bomba) efervescenta de baie

Bomba de baie in forma de robotel pentru copii este sleep inducing, si cand i-am mai cumparat lui Alex din astea in trecut, Alex dormit dupa baie ca un bebelus. De data aceasta parca nu mi s-a parut la fel de eficienta, n-am avut impresia ca acel efect sleep inducing e chiar atat de prezent acolo. Dupa baia respectiva Alex in continuare avea multa energie, cand de fapt ma asteptam sa adoarma mult mai repede. :) Nu stiu de ce n-a fost asa, poate ca Alex in ziua aia s-a simtit mai energetic ca de obicei. Am sa mai incerc sfere din astea pentru Alex, sa ma conving de calitatea lor si sa vad daca intr-adevar sunt sleep inducing asa cum s-au dovedit a fi in trecut, sau sunt asa si asa cum a fost de data aceasta.

Bomba efervescenta de baie in forma de robotel pentru copii

Am luat si doua sapunuri naturale hand-made, fabuloase ambele, care imi plac foarte mult. De fapt, pe cel mai mare, cu arome marine, l-am cumparat, iar pe cel mai mic, cu aroma de patrunjel, l-am primit cadou in magazin, avand in vedere ca lotul meu de cumparaturi a depasit un anumit prag. Singurul sapun massmarket pe care il apreciez, care nu imi usuca pielea si cu care ma pot spala inclusiv pe fata este Dove, orice alt sapun din comert imi usuca pielea foarte tare. Pe cand sapunurile hand-made naturiste sunt o adevarata desfatare pentru pielea mea, si nu imi usuca pielea. Aceste doua sapunuri Lush s-au dovedit a fi foarte bune, gentile cu pielea, avand un miros delicat, si ambele fac o spuma delicata si fresh. Ma pot spala cu ambele atat pe fata, cat si pe corp, cu alte cuvinte pot sa le folosesc ca gel de fata si gel de dus, daca vreau sa diversific.

Sapunuri naturale hand-made

Chestiile rotunde din poza de mai jos sunt sampon uscat (cel galben) si balsam pentru par, de asemenea in varianta uscata (cel verde). Samponul este exceptional, mi-a placut foarte mult. E usor de folosit si aplicat, face multa spuma. Balsamul este ceva mai greu de aplicat, avand in vedere ca nu face spuma -- balsamurile de par de obicei nu fac spuma. Depuneam un efort mai mare sa-l aplic pe par, dar efortul merita, caci rezultatul era bun. Parul meu este foarte high maintenance, se rupe si se incalceste usor la spalare, si pentru mine e foarte important ce fel de produse pentru ingrijirea parului folosesc, iar balsamul de par imi este absolut indispensabil in baie. Acest balsam uscat de la Lush m-a ajutat sa-mi pieptan si sa-mi descalcesc parul mai usor dupa spalare.

Sampon uscat si balsam uscat

Produsul ala din cutia neagra, din gama Dirty, este o crema de ras unisex. A se folosi cu lama de ras. L-am folosit de vreo doua ori pentru picioare, dar nu m-a incantat, avand in vedere ca nu face spuma. Este singurul produs din toate aceste produse Lush pe care le-am cumparat in acea zi, care nu mi-a placut, si nu voi mai cumpara din acesta. Nu este cu nimic mai bun decat atunci cand folosesti gelul de dus pe care il ai in baie si cu care te speli la dus, si il spumezi pe picioare daca vrei sa te epilezi cu lama. Ba chiar gelul de dus e mai eficient, avand in vedere ca face spuma. Vara de obicei ma epilez cu ceara calda la salon; dar iarna, avand in vedere ca firul nu creste la fel de repede ca vara, cateodata merge si o epilare rapida cu lama, si in aceasta idee am cumparat aceeasta crema de ras / epilat Dirty de la Lush, dar sunt dezamagita, tot gelul de dus e de fapt mai bun in acest scop decat aceasta crema. Nu o voi mai cumpara, si nu v-o recomand nici voua.

Crema de ras Dirty

Crema de ras Dirty

Si in sfarsit, gelul de dus Dirty, albastru. E un gel ok, cu o aroma sexy interesanta (de unde si numele Dirty). Dar mi s-a parut a fi un gel de dus la fel ca multe altele, chiar daca are aceasta aroma interesanta, care nu a devenit neaparat o aroma preferata de-a mea. Mi s-a parut destul de scump, cred ca am dat pe el in jur de $10, mai ales ca e o cantitate mica, 100 ml, asa ca nu cred ca o sa-l mai iau. L-am luat doar de dragul de a incerca un produs nou, ca sa-mi satisfac curiozitatea. Dar imi place ca e facut in Canada, atat acest gel de dus, cat si crema de ras / epilat Dirty (conform etichetelor de pe ele). Presupun ca si celelalte produse Lush pe care le-am cumparat in acea zi sunt facute in Canada (bombele de baie, sapunurile, samponul uscat, balsamul uscat) doar ca se vindeau la vrac, si pentru ca nu erau ambalate din fabrica, nu am fost atenta daca intr-adevar sunt facute in Canada. Am dat in total pe cele sapte produse in jur de $88 (al optulea produs, sapunul mai mic lunguiet, fiind cadou), deci in medie fiecare produs m-a costat $12.50. Nu este tocmai ieftin, dar nu ajung la Lush asa de des, avand in vedere ca acel magazin din centru este singurul pe care il cunosc in oras (o mai fi si altele, dar eu il stiu doar pe acesta). Daca fac niste cumparaturi la ei o data pe an, nu e un capat de tara; un rasfat din acesta merita din cand in cand, fara indoiala.

Gel de dus Dirty

Am ajuns la concluzia ca produsele mele preferate de la Lush sunt bombele de baie si sapunurile hand-made, asa cum erau preferaretele mele si inainte; dar de data aceasta am mai descoperit ca de asemenea imi plac sampoanele si balsamurile solide.

Voua ce produse de la Lush va plac? Ce ati cumparat de la ei la ultima voastra vizita intr-un magazin Lush?
