Starlettos- Discover The Star In You

What really makes you Happy? Is it chocolate cake? A cool glass of champagne? Watching the movies? Most of us can think of something like that and usually our delight is associated with how it makes us feel. Very few of us are happy by the way we look.

In fact, it is not how you look that ever makes you glad. How you seem is only vital as it can influence how you feel about yourself. That said, for most of us, our self-image takes a beating every week from the magazines we read and how we look is more likely to be the trouble rather than the solution to our happiness.

A lot has been written regarding happiness over the years and the question of what makes us glad has troubled philosophers for centuries. The common view point of all the people is that few prime "needs" do prevail that contribute to a joyous life and genuine happiness is only something to do with fulfilling and balancing these fundamental needs. Good examples are, healthiness, liberty, food, family, friendship, love, laughter…there are several more and some have suggested they work like a hierarchy. You should put in place the things that make you feel safe first, then the things that make you relaxed and then at last top this off with the things that bring laughter and enjoyment like that chocolate cake!

As women, we are possibly more attuned to this hierarchy of needs than our male counterparts who can usually be fooled by their aggressive instincts into placing too much emphasis on job ambition and the trappings of wealth.

That may be the common rule, but there is one area where we women have a big blind-spot when it relates to working out what is significant. How we look! Where we fail is concentrating too much on our negatives and trying too intensely to suppress them. We usually choose to try and look good at the compromise of our own comfort.

How many times have you attended a party in amazing, costly high heels, only to have to take them off after the first hour for the reason that your feet are killing you?

Have you ever caught a flu because you winded up freezing in that sexy dress you just had to wear?

How often have you ended up being exhausted or dehydrated or both because you didn’t eat enough, drink sufficient water or sit down and rest at the time of an all day wedding?

How many times have you winded up either ruining your shoes or pressurizing a calf muscle trying to stop your heels sinking into squashy ground at a party or occasion that was outside?

Let’s face it girls, when it pertains to high-fashion events, our prioritization and decision-making can truly let us down! It is simply baffling to get to know that we usually end up sacrificing our comfort, delight and enjoyment on very special occasions like weddings, for that matter, our very own weddings if we feel somewhere in our heart that we are losing out on our looks.

Next time you’re off to a wedding, an outdoor party or getting ready to stand all day in a marquee, take some simple measures to maximize your comfort and enjoy yourself more.

Eat something before you go. Drink loads of water. Dress for the weather conditions, wear comfortable shoes. If you are in high heels then get something such as Starlettos heel protectors and save your shoes and your feet. Put sunscreen on all the exposed areas before you go and carry some along with you to keep your face protected. Now that you have made a priority of how you feel you are in a position to utilize the best secret weapon you have when you want to look good - your beaming smile.
