Eboni K. Williams looks red hot in her red halter jumpsuit. I love jumpsuits because it’s an easy one and done outfit choice. Though somehow even when it’s a quick outfit I still am late. And I usually don’t look half as good as Eboni does here. But maybe it’s because she styled it so perfectly with some beautiful arm candy accessories.

 

Sincerely Stylish,

Jess

Illuminating Vitamin C Serums For a Glowing Complexion

Vitamin C has long been lauded as a multipurpose skin-enhancing antioxidant with a solid reputation for being one of the top free-radical protectors and anti-agers, as well as a slew of other benefits that we’ll get into a bit later. Frankly, it really is just one of the most effective actives you can use to improve your skin, whether you’re looking to fade dark spots and hyperpigmentation, restore elasticity, soften the look of fine lines, and crow’s feet, or simply brighten up a lackluster complexion. Best of all, not only does Vitamin C serums help reverse the signs of aging, but it also functions as a barrier, shielding the skin from free radical damage due to environmental aggressors like pollution and UV rays from the sun.

Unfortunately, despite its unrivaled benefits, vitamin C also happens to be a little bit high maintenance. It’s notoriously difficult to stabilize and can be impacted a wide range of variables that can render your serum virtually useless without even knowing it. Because of its less-than-stellar shelf life, many Vitamin C products are suspended in silicone bases, which is a common culprit for triggering breakouts and clogged pores. Fortunately, there are plenty of formulas capable of brightening, smoothing, and fading, but are a bit more foolproof than their conventional counterparts. Check out some of our favorite (relatively stable) formulas below.

Pore-Refining Primers For a Flawless Pre-Foundation Canvas

Oversized pores are one of the most frustrating skincare woes to deal with, and unfortunately, they also happen to be one of the most tricky to refine and conceal.  And while using a pore-filling primer or mattifying foundation to conceal them is often a good course of action, prepping the skin with a skin-smoothing primer as your base will give you an extra refined base to work with. And, using an oil-controlling primer to help blur imperfections, fill in enlarged pores, and extend the wear time of your complexion products is especially important if you have oily or combination skin.

These game-changing pore-minimizing primers sink into the pores and fine lines, while also working to soften the look of texture, which makes your foundation look seriously flawless regardless of the formula. Best of all, there are plenty of blurring primers that diffuse imperfections like a filter without sucking the skin completely dry. that keep your skin’s oil levels balanced and minimize the look of large pores. As someone who has personally struggled with keeping my shiny t-zone from looking like a straight-up oil slick on the daily and my pores from peering through my foundation for years, I can personally attest to the magical powers of the products below.

3 Ways to Practice Body Awareness and Prevent Falls (video)

body awareness

According to Your Therapy Source, a place exploring child development, “Body awareness is the ability to understand where our bodies are in space and how our bodies move. Sometimes, if people have difficulties with body awareness, they may appear clumsy, uncoordinated, or have delays in motor skill development.”

We develop body awareness in all stages of life, but unfortunately, we lose some of it as we age. In our later years, being able to understand and develop this awareness of where our body is in space can help with falls prevention, hand-eye coordination, and cognitive development.

Globally, falls are a major health problem. There are over 646,000 fatal falls each year which is the second leading cause of unintentional injury death. One in three people over the age of 65 and one in two people over the age of 80 are at risk of a fall that could lead to serious injury.

Test Your Body Awareness

Are you aware of your own body dimensions and placement in space? To determine your body awareness level, try this exercise:

  • Take a deep breath in and see if you can fill your lower abdomen up. (Imagine filling a balloon up that is positioned in the lower part of your belly.)
  • Now let that breath go (exhale) slowly and feel your lower abdomen slowly descend.

Can you do it? If you are having trouble, try it seated or laying either on your belly or on your back.

Feel Your Body Areas

If you can easily breathe into your lower abdomen, the next step is to feel the different areas of your body while taking an inhale and exhale.

  • What can you feel?
  • Do you feel sore or stiff in any particular area of the body?
  • Do you feel relaxed in another?
  • Can you concentrate on the areas that are sore or stiff and focus on trying to relax into them while you are breathing gently?

Stand Up

If you could manage the above well, the next step is to find a clear space you can stand up.

  • Start by bringing your right leg forward one step then bringing your left leg forward to meet.
  • Then take your right leg back to the start and bring your left leg to meet.
  • Continue these 10 times. Then change the leading leg to the left one. Bring your right leg forward to meet then take the left leg back behind to the start and bring the right back to meet.

Like anything, the more you practice body awareness, the easier it becomes.

Exercise Is at the Root of Falls Prevention

By taking the power of exercise and incorporating body awareness tactics into your daily routine, this goes a long way in keeping the brain sharp and the body fit.

It is well documented that exercise is good for the brain and the heart. It is also great for your body awareness and falls prevention.

Here’s a short video where I discuss the correlation and show several exercises to that end.

The WHO Heidelberg guidelines for physical activity for older persons recommend that virtually all older people should participate in physical activity on a regular basis.

Regular physical activity has been shown to prevent and/or lower an older person’s risk of falling in community and home settings.

Furthermore, exercise, studies show, increases the presence of oxygen within the body, the bloodstream, and the cell.

By oxygenating the body in these ways, exercise – in addition to improving balance, strength, and coordination – lowers blood pressure, reduces cholesterol, decreases risk of diabetes, and generally improves cardiovascular health.

In a nutshell, exercise/movement is great for overall health and vitality.
