How to define your own personal style

Until a few years ago, I was afraid to wear anything that basically wasn't't jeans or hoodies. These were my safe clothes, no would judge me in them or laugh at me. I didn't really have a personal style as I just hid behind what I felt comfortable in. Going into uni, I started to become brave enough to start dressing how I really wanted to dress and began to experiment more with different clothes, patterns and colours. It became a sort of trial and error, sussing out what worked for me. It can be all too easy to just follow the trends, especially with the influence of Instagram and other social media sites, but if you want your clothes to be a way of expressing your individual style then it's so important that you don't blindly follow the trends. This post will hopefully help you how to find what works for you.

The Key to Maintaining Youthful Skin

Now that I'm approaching 30! How did that happen? I've started to notice a difference in my skin. There are now creases there where they weren't before, bigger bags under my eyes and things just don't quite seem as tight as they used to be. I'm basically not looking as young as I used to, but for those of us or anyone who is lucky enough to grow old, ageing comes with the territory. While you will never be able to reverse this and I'm not talking about surgery here, there are ways in which you can slow the process down and keep yourself looking youthful for longer.
