7 versatile accessories that are a wardrobe must-have

Fashion experts and all women, in general, tend to believe that choosing accessories can be as challenging as choosing what to wear. Do you choose a bracelet stack, or do you go for a scarf? What is too much and what is too little? Some accessories accentuate an outfit, and you can use them to highlight your choice, while others make the whole look more complete. Some versatile accessories that work with all outfits include:

Scarf
A scarf offers protection from the cold winters and from the fiery sun. You can find fashionable options in cotton, chiffon, silk, cashmere, pashmina, wool, and net. There are innumerable creative ways of wearing a scarf apart from just draping it on your shoulders or knotting it on the side of your neck. Your scarf should match your dress or other accessories. Have a mix of plain, printed, or brightly patterned scarfs to match them as you’d like. Remember that not all scarves can serve the same purpose; this versatile accessory is generally available in square, rectangle, and triangle shapes.

Chain-link necklace
Chain link necklaces can be cool, formal, and casual. You can get them in different finishes like yellow gold, silver, white gold, gold plated, and rose gold. Additionally, you can choose between long or short chain-link necklaces. If you’re particularly bold, pick one that combines two metals and has two colors. The chains, too, can be small and delicate or large and chunky. You can wear them with sweaters, leather skirts, blazers, tee and jeans, evening dresses, sweatsuits, and hoodies. 

Moto boots
If you have been researching fashion trends, you would know that moto boots find a place of pride in winter, summer, and fall fashion wardrobes. It is a perfect match for mini and maxi skirts and even mini and maxi dresses. You can also pair it with a slim-fit coat, leggings, and sweater for a preppy look. In the winter, it is ideal with corduroy trousers, sporty jeans, and military-esque fatigues. It is a must-have versatile accessory for women and dresses up or down any outfit.

Tote bags
Tote bags are ideal for college, shopping, or a casual get-together. They can hold your essentials like cosmetics, combs, charger, wallet, and a notebook. While designer handbags and clutches need a careful choice of outfits, tote bags stand out with all outfits. It works well with jeans and tee, trousers, a blouse or sneakers. You can carry it to work wearing semi-casual work clothes or to college wearing shorts, jeans, skirts or dresses. Tote bags are not very expensive and can be found in eco-friendly materials and adorable designs. Once you get used to a tote bag, changing to anything else will be difficult—nothing can be as convenient and cute.

Headband
Like scarves, headbands can transform your outfit; you can tie them in many ways and embellish them. Headbands go well with simple looks and everyday outfits. It looks classic with jeans with a blazer, a skirt with a jacket, or a dress with sneakers. It is also an extremely practical accessory and can be used on bad hair days to hide the greasy strands or wrestle them into submission. When you wear it with a dress or a blouse, you can wear velvet or silk headbands embellished with pearls or stones. An oversized headband can look good with suits.

Belts
Belts hold your clothes together and also frame your figure. They also give an instant upgrade to any dress that you are wearing. You can choose from a range of classic leather belts, beaded belts, casual belts, chain belts, reversible belts and the ever-favorite buckle belts. Choose the right belt length based on your waist and hip size. You can wear a belt with maxi dresses, dresses with flares, t-shirt dresses and shirt dresses. Avoid using broad belts if you are not too tall for it will make you look shorter than you are. Also, avoid belts with ostentatious buckles for formal events.

Hoop earrings
Hoop earrings can be small, medium, or insanely big. Small earrings look better with a bun or a ponytail; you can let your hair down for large hoop earrings. These dainty accessories look good with turtleneck sweaters, simple everyday outfits, dress shirts, off-shoulder dresses, a blouse, or an oversized blazer. You can wear them with floral blouses for a casual event or choose a sober one for your work meetings. It is ideal to get hoop earrings in multiple finishes so that you can mix and match them with different outfits.

Tips for choosing the right accessories
Here are some quick and easy-to-follow accessory-styling tips to make the most of your wardrobe:

Apart from these, you can also use glasses, wallets, clutches, handbags, hats, gloves, and boots as accessories.
Do not over-accessorize. Limit using about 2-3 accessories with your outfits. If you can match these accessories with a common shade, hue, style, or material, it will work even better.
Do not mix and match jewelry pieces from different sets if they vary in size, design, or base metal. If your set has small jewelry pieces, you can wear them all together.
Your handbag need not match the color of your shoe.
Only one component should be bright—your outfit or your accessory.
Use bright accessories for neutral-toned outfits.

4 hair styling tools that give a salon-like look

If you like to style your hair frequently without having to spend money at salons, you can invest in some basic hair styling tools. These tools can create beach waves or curls or even straighten them out. There are many hair styling tools that are versatile, easy to use, and do little or no damage to your hair. If you want to invest in hair styling tools, here are a few tools to check out: Hair straightener and curler Combining a hair straightener and curler that is suitable for all hair types allows you the freedom to try out trending hairstyles. Look for a professional straightener or curler with a ceramic or copper flat iron. Choose a flat iron that allows you to control the temperature so that you don’t damage your hair. Experts claim that setting the straightener or curler to temperatures as high as 455 degrees can help straighten the most challenging and rigid curls. The copper ceramic tools also ensure that the hair doesn’t break while you are straightening, leaving your hair straight and smooth once you are done. You can also choose regular and smart Bluetooth straighteners to help you choose the best temperature and care settings every time you use the tool. Hot air brush Hot air brushes combine a hairbrush with a flat iron and blow dryer. Choose the desired heat setting and gently brush your damp hair. It is essential to remember a hot air brush cannot be used on wet hair or right after your shower; your hair needs to be dry by at least 80%. It works well with mildly damp hair. The bristles in the hairbrush guide your hair, and the heated plates smooth and polish it. You no longer need to use a hair dryer to dry your hair after a shower and then use a straightener.

8 effective remedies for nasal polyps

Nasal polyps are tiny tear-shaped growths in the nose and sinuses, usually brought on by asthma, infection, allergies, or other kinds of inflammation. These polyps are usually painless and non-cancerous, however, they can be big enough to cause itchiness, breathing difficulties, sneezing, and running nose. Doctors usually prescribe nasal sprays that can relieve the symptoms and get rid of the polyps. However, one can also try a few natural remedies to deal with the condition: Neti pot (or nasal irrigation) Neti pot is a popular and convenient nasal irrigation device. All one has to do is fill this container with saline solution or add 1–2 tsp salt to distilled water or boiled (and then cooled) tap water. Then, one would have to lean over a washbasin or a sink and tilt their head sideways so that the liquid does not flow back into the mouth. One would have to breathe through the mouth, insert the spout into the upper nostril and allow the fluid to drain from the lower nostril. Then the nostrils will have to be cleaned by blowing the nose to remove mucus and dirt. This process should be repeated through the other nostril. The goal is to loosen and clear the mucus and debris like dust or pollen from the nasal cavity. Using a neti pot twice a day can help improve symptoms of nasal polyps. The container and hands have to be clean and dry to prevent infection. Steam inhalation In the absence of a nasal irrigation device, one can use steam to relieve nasal congestion, headaches, and other symptoms. People can boil some water in a pot or dish, place it on a counter or the dining table right in front of them as they sit in a comfortable position, and inhale the steam for a while.

4 foods that are surprisingly bad foods for diabetics

Many foods are portrayed to be the best for diabetics, but it would be surprising to know that even wholesome foods could cause a spike in sugar levels if the portion size is not moderated. Food choices truly matter when a person has diabetes. Under normal circumstances, one would think that these foods aid in better health and maintain sugar levels, but they don’t. Here are four surprisingly bad foods for those with diabetes: Brown rice While brown rice certainly has more fiber than white rice, a single cup of brown rice contains nearly 50 grams of carbohydrates. This can easily be broken into glucose which could spike the sugar levels. The alternative would be to cut down on rice and add more green leafy vegetables. Fresh fruit juice It does not matter if one opts for seasonal juice or those that claim that they have no extra sugar added. If we take an orange as fruit and look at its nutrient content, it has about 15 grams of carbohydrates, vitamins, and fiber. An orange juice, on the contrary, has 45 grams of carbohydrates and less of other nutrients. Therefore, drinking juice is not the same thing as eating fruit.   Dried fruits If one thinks having a raisin is healthier than a chocolate cookie, think again. Raisins contain 1 gram of carb more than what is available in a chocolate cookie. That said, they are undoubtedly wholesome compared to a cookie. However, both of them would result in a spike in blood sugar. The same holds good for cranberries and apricots. Yogurt Yogurt offers a plethora of health benefits, including probiotics for gut health. However, they are heavily processed and contain a wallop of 30 grams of sugar, even in the best of the brands. Ensure to read the ingredient before buying one.
