How to Style the Quiz Clothing Bronze Small Feather Clip Fascinator

Image
I remember walking into Quiz Clothing and seeing these fascinators, and I didn't buy them the first time. I came again, and they were discounted, but I wasn't ready. When my friend came to visit me 12 days ago, she wanted to visit the mall. We went together, and when we got to the store, we saw that the price was even more discounted, so I bought two fascinators. I never used to pay attention to Quiz Clothing, but I must say they have really cool shoes, nice accessories, and fascinators. I have seen stylish dresses in the shop window but never paid attention. Well, I finally entered and got two fascinators. I can't say which is my favorite, but I didn't have to struggle to style this look. I will be sharing the full outfit details, but I just wanted to let you all know that this fascinator is at the biggest discount you can imagine, and if you want to get it, it is better to get it now. I'm not sure if these designs will be restocked. The majority of clip fascinator...

Green Book Movie Review

Image
This movie is a real-life story about a world-class African pianist back in the old days in the USA. He was so good at his craft and had trained and achieved degrees. He played for the only white audience but was not allowed to sit at the same table with them or use the same toilets as them. One incident occurred at the end of his tour when he was not allowed to eat in the same place where white people were eating, even though he was the star they came to watch. He was asked to go and eat inside the storage room. He faced police brutality a lot and had to just overlook it. He was treated so badly by white people, despite his success. This movie is so triggering, and I can’t imagine what those slaves had to go through to survive and how racism is still a thing on this earth. Honestly, it’s hard to watch all these movies and read history books and not get angry about these silly things racist white people did. There was a Green Book that showed you the hotels and places where black peopl...

A Personal Journey Through OCD: Sharing Inside My Obsessive Mind

Image
I am currently struggling with OCD. I am on a journey to heal and recover, but I want to share my mind with you so you can see through the eyes of a person suffering from OCD. I define obsessive-compulsive disorder as being captive to your own thoughts. You are imprisoned by your own thoughts, and guess who the warden is? You! Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental health disorder that is characterized by repetitive actions that seem impossible to stop. What this means is that you keep doing things over and over again to perfect them even when they are already perfect. There are different stages of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and people who are struggling with OCD are dealing with trauma that emanates from different levels and aspects of their lives. I am suffering from this disorder, and it has been a struggle with a lot of things. I believe that as I begin to share and seek help, I will be on my way to recovery. I know this doesn't happen overnight, but if you ...

The FDA is urging the food industry to reduce salt usage.

The FDA is urging the food industry to reduce salt consumption. The FDA requested that the food sector reduce the amount of sodium (a key component of salt) that is processed, packaged, and prepared meals voluntarily. Those foods account for over 70% of the sodium in the average American diet, which contains about 3,400 milligrams (mg) of salt per day. Over the following two and a half years, the revised aims aim to reduce average sodium intake by around 12%, to around 3,000 mg per day. That amount is still higher than the federal dietary guidelines' recommendation of 2,300 mg, but it's a start. Excessive salt consumption can elevate blood pressure and increase the risk of heart attack and stroke. In the meanwhile, consume more fresh, unprocessed foods and limit your intake of the saltiest items (or seek out lower-sodium versions). Soup, pizza, Bread, and buns (due to their frequent consumption), cold cuts and cured meats, poultry dishes (such as rotisserie chicken and chic...

How to style a Criss Cross bodycon dress

Image
I have been staying in this neighborhood for some time now, and I haven’t really taken time out to walk around. Walking around on Sunday was refreshing and also made me familiar with the area I am living in. While this wasn’t a planned official date, it was just a time to walk, breathe, and talk while also getting to know the area with my partner. I wore this Criss Cross Rainbow Color Halter Bodycon Dress from Rosewe, which I paired with a black boot. I added black boots to keep me warm. The boots were comfortable for walking around. This is the second time I am wearing the boots for a long walk. Judging from the original picture on the website, I felt the dress would have thicker material, but it’s lighter than I expected. Nevertheless, it is a lovely dress that can be styled in all seasons. I layered beneath the dress to keep it warm and give it more texture. The criss-cross halter neck gave the dress a more grown-up look. This dress is versatile, self-expressive, a mood booster and...
