Just like your outfit, a handbag should complement your body shape. The shape of a handbag should not match your body shape. It should be exactly opposite to it.

For Example: - If you are tall and thin, you should go for bigger and round shaped bags. These bags would add some curves to your body.

The rounder the shape of your body, the more structured bag you should choose.

The size (scale) of the bag also plays an important role, not just a shape.

For example: - A shoulder’s bag length will highlight the body part near which it will come.

Thus along with shape of the bag, the size of the bag also matters a lot.

Some tips:-

1. Try bags in shops in front of the mirror to look whether the bag suits your body shape.
2. Do not just look at some new shapes of the bag and buy it, see that whether that shape of bag suits your body type.
3. Skip those options of bags if you feel uncomfortable with. Do not just buy it because it is trendy.
4. The size of a handbag should be proportionate to the body shape.
5. Fashion has a cycle. So whatever you buy, hold it with you. These styles will come back again in fashion. As Handbags are priceless Investments of women.

1- Avoid hiking alone because the “buddy system” is safer during any type of activity. If traveling with a group, never stray from the group. If hiking alone, pick a well traveled trail.

2- Stay on marked trails. Making shortcuts and “bushwhacking” causes erosion and greatly increases your chance of becoming lost. As you hike, pay attention to trail blazes (paint marks on trees) and landmarks. A double blaze indicates a change in trail direction or intersection, so be sure to follow the correct trail.

3- Dress in layers and avoid cotton. Today’s hikers can choose from numerous fabrics that wick moisture, dry quickly or conserve heat. Many experienced hikers wear a lightweight shirt that wicks moisture, while carrying a fleece pullover and waterproof jacket in a daypack.

4- Don’t rely on a GPS to prevent you from getting lost. Batteries can die or the equipment can become damaged or lost.

5- Wear bright colors. Don’t dress children in camouflage.

Carry an Emergency Kit Each hiker should have these items:

1- Water 2- First aid kit 3- Whistle 4- Small flashlight with extra batteries 5- Glowstick 6- Energy food 7- Brightly colored bandana

Especially for Children

1- Attach a whistle to their clothing. 2- Teach children that they won’t get into trouble for becoming lost. 3- Reassure children that people (and possibly dogs and helicopters) will look for them if they become lost. Do not hide from searchers; answer their calls. 4- Do not run. Instead, “hug a tree” and make a comfortable “nest.” This prevents wandering even further. 5- Do not be afraid of animals or strange noises. If something is scary, blow the whistle.

What to Do if You are Lost

1- Stay put. 2- Make shelter. 3- Stay warm and dry. 4- Be visible and heard. 5- If helicopters are searching overhead, seek an opening rather than thick tree cover. Lie down so you look bigger from the air.

Switching from ice-cream to sorbet is an excellent way to reduce saturated fats. It has an exceptionally creamy texture, it is because of banana and roasted mango. Thanks to them!

Here we go..

Ingredients

• 3 ripe mangoes
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/3 cup coarsely mashed banana (1 small)
• 2 tablespoon lime juice

Directions

1. Preheat microwave oven to 350°F. Place whole mangoes in a shallow baking pan and roast until very soft, 70 to 90 minutes. Refrigerate until cool, about 1 hour.
2. Meanwhile, combine sugar and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat and refrigerate until cold, about 1 hour.
3. When the mangoes are cool enough to handle, remove skin and coarsely chop pulp, discarding pit. Place the mango pulp and accumulated juices in a food processor. Add banana and lime juice; process until very smooth. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in the sugar syrup. Cover and refrigerate until cold, 40 minutes or overnight.
4. Freeze the mixture in a refrigerator. (Freeze the mixture in a shallow metal pan until solid, about 6 hours. Break into chunks and process in a food processor or hand blender until smooth.) Serve immediately or transfer to a storage container and let harden in the freezer for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Serve in chilled dishes.

To enjoy the superior audio quality and sound isolation of your earphones, it is very important to get a proper fit!

Here are some tips...

How to wear it 

1. Note the difference between the right and left headphones and insert in respective ear.

2. Use it wrapping the cord over the top and down the back of the ear or it can be worn hanging straight down. (see fig. below)

Using the right fit for your ear

The quality of the frequency response and sound isolation depends on how well the sleeves seal. If the earphone seems to be lacking in bass, check the tightness of the seal between the earphone and your ear, or try one of the other sleeve options. Each earphone comes with a selection of sleeve options. Sleeves options vary by earphone model.

Take some time to experiment with your fit to find the sleeve and style of wear that works best for you.

Types of sleeves

1. Flex and soft flex sleeves

2. Foam sleeves

3. Triple Flange sleeves (image of types of sleeves)

Keep it clean 

Avoid getting moisture in the nozzle and clean the nozzles using the wax removal tool.

Additional tips on earphone maintenance and care 

Always remove the sleeve from the earphone nozzle before cleaning

Clean your sleeves regularly with a mild antiseptic or soapy water. Flex, Ultra-soft flex, and Triple-flange sleeves should be cleaned with an antiseptic routinely and when sharing

Foam sleeves should be disposed of and replaced when they get dirty

Wipe down the earphone housing and cable with an antiseptic routinely

Do not use earphones those are causing you discomfort

Safety information

Never use headphones earphones while driving. It may create a hazard and is illegal in many areas

Take extra care when wearing earphones while walking, jogging, cycling, etc.

Avoid using earphones at high volume levels Prolonged exposure to high sound pressure level may hamper hearing badly.

The Camera image can seem surprisingly different from reality, so it is vital to see things the camera sees them. A long used far from a subject gives a so-called telephoto effect. In the photo opposite left, for example, the people and traffic seem impossibly compressed. A short lens used to close to a subject produces what is known as wide-angle distortion. Opposite right, it enlarges part of the humans form to unnatural proportions. These Photographs seem to show distortions in perspective.

Perspective is the way the brain judges depth in a two-dimensional representation.

Depth is perceived mostly by comparing the sizes of objects, so it seems to increase if foreground objects appear larger than background ones.

Perspective is affected by the lens-to-subject distance, not by lens focal length.

Moving your camera closer to a subject will make objects in the foreground larger relative to those in the background.

Below, the pictures in the top row were taken from the same distance with lenses of different focal lengths.

The shortest lens produces the widest view; the longest lens produces the narrowest view, but is simply an enlargement of the scene. The relative sizes of the eggs in the foreground and the bird remain constant because all three pictures were taken from the same distance.

The pictures in the bottom row were taken with the same lens from different distances.

The closer the lens came, the bigger the foreground objects (the eggs and nest) appear relative to the background one (the cage).

In only sense does the focal length of a lens affect the perspective.

A short lens can focus closer to an object than along lens, and it doesn’t eliminate most of the scene from view when you move in close. Consequently, a short lens can produce wide-angle distortion because it is easy to use it up close. A long lens can produce a telephoto effect because you are the more likely to shoot from relatively far away. But the lens isn’t creating the effect; the distances from the subject is doing so.

1- Neckline : Short & Wide Neck

You need to ‘lengthen’ your neckline by opting for lower necklines. Plunging necklines (a deep V-neck) or open necklines (scoop neck) will elongate the neck. Keep in mind that your neckline shouldn't start less than 2-3 fingers width below your collarbone.

• Stay away from any bulk, fuss or details such as neckties, ruffles & choker neckpieces
• Avoid any high necklines like turtleneck or big stand up collars. Opt instead for flat collars or no collars at all.
• Wear tops that have embellishment around the neck area so you don’t need to add a neckpiece for interest.
• Wear brooches rather than shorter neckpieces or opt for longer neckpieces that take the attention away from the short neck
• Wear Jackets that close lower & avoid double breasted ones
• Choose Dangling earrings & hoops

2- Neckline : Long & Thick Neck

Generally having a longer neck is a desirable attribute, so the list of “Don’ts” will be shorter. To avoid an exaggerated giraffe neck effect, follow the subsequent suggestions:

• Don’t wear very deep V or plunging necklines.
• Slim long polo necks can be passed.
• Avoid wearing vertical striped shirts or shirts.
• Don’t wear Shirts/blouses with extra large pointed collars.
• Don’t wear extra large hoops or dangling earrings.

However,

• Neckties, ruffles, rolls or any other bulk will complement your long neck.
• Higher necklines with details will work better than low necklines with these features – the exception to the rule here is when you have a big bust.
• Choose a Mid neck length hairstyle or longer
• Slash or boat neckline gives a visual shorter cut off
• Stand up collars , mandarin or shirt collars turned up , look fab.

A soft cowl neck will give it the required softness.

3- Neckline : Short Décolleté & Big Bust

The bigger your bust the lower the necklines you should go for.

• Stick to V-necks, scoops, squares or tops with front openings, anything that takes the eye down
• Avoid high necklines, which draw the eye up and make large breasts look lower than they really are
• No Halter necks since they make them bigger than they already are
• A Warp dress really flatters a Big Bust
• Try Clinching the garment at the waist a bit to draw attention there provided you feel your waist is shapely.
• Choose darker/warmer colors at the top to camouflage
• Opt for 3 quarter sleeves as those are generally more slimming than short or sleeveless styles
• Avoid spaghetti straps at all costs since they’ll only exaggerate the appearance of your bust. Not much support either. If you do want to wear a singlet type top, then opt for one with thicker, more supportive straps as they will act to balance out your bust.
• Steer clear of baggy jackets/styles and instead opt for a fitted, streamlined style that’s nipped in at the waist.
• Opt for medium or large sized bag for balance
• Make sure the clothes are Fitted but not clingy

4- Neckline : Long Decollete & Small Bust

Lucky You! Women with smaller busts is that they are able to pull of a range of different styles from going braless to backless, you can get away with so much more!

• You’ll benefit more from ‘high’ necklines since low necklines tend to draw attention to smaller bust.
• Layer in that area, either with multiple tops, scarves or chunky jewellery. Bulk or volume in the collar line area are great features if your neck is relatively thin or long too.
• Go Backless since you don’t have to worry about supporting bra straps. So you can go sans Bra
• Can wear plunging necklines but avoid long V along with long sleeves

If you are short in your décolleté line but have a small bust you can wear the same style line as someone with a normal or long neck. But if you have a short or wide neck, then those are the rules that apply. The only difference is that you can pull off having more bulk around your chest area.

Also, remember that your décolleté line is very much determined by your skin condition and age. The more damaged it is through sun or aging, the more the phrase ‘less is more' applies. Even if you have a great bust, try to display it in an appropriate, elegant and stylish manner, one that fits with your personality and lifestyle.

5- Head Larger in Comparison to Body

So you think you look like a ‘Bubblehead Doll’. Worry not; we have a solution for you.

BANGS!! Yes try side sweep bangs to shorten the length of your face. If your head is disproportionately bigger compared to your upper body (e.g. if you have a small ribcage and bust),try to balance it with higher necklines and features near your neck whilst easing your way downwards. If you have a short or wide neck then keep the details below collar bones rather than above or next to your neck. A wider cut in the neck will draw attention to the face due to the contrast it creates with the skin of the body.

Also you can take attention elsewhere in your body. For example, dawn a big belt to create a focal point near the waist. Or you could even wear a mid length neckpiece with a medium pendant resting on your cleavage. Even brooches will do the same trick.

Do not wear clingy clothes as it will again rest attention to the comparatively smaller frame. Jackets would be very flattering.

Last but not the least-Grow your hair longer to bring attention downwards.

6- Head Smaller in Comparison to Body

If you have a smaller head in comparison to your body then don't overpower it with chunky collars, rolls or neckties because your neck will disappear under all the bulk. Instead use the following techniques;

• Curl up your hair or go for hairdos and haircuts that rest just below your jaw line or above the shoulders to bulk up around your face giving it an illusion to be heavier and balancing it out.
• Avoid hair tied up flat behind in a pony to make it look even smaller
• Go all out and wear the round hoops you like as it will flatter your face

7- Neckline : Double Chin

If you've got a double chin you should avoid any sort of bulk and fuss around your neck. That includes high necklines such as turtle necks but also necklines that finish just below the double chin e.g. crew necks. You need to put some distance between your top and neck, so it draws focus downwards.

• Avoid any high necklines like turtleneck or big stand up collars. Opt instead for flat collars or no collars at all.
• Stick to longer neckpieces that take the attention away from the short neck
• Avoid any layer or jacket which closes high above the neck
• Big collars and wide lapels are to be avoided at all costs
• Use makeup countering techniques by applying a dark brown bronzer below the chin & jawline
• Use more boxy or angular cuts to counter the roundness of the double chin

8- Neckline : Broad Shoulders

If you've got broad shoulders then chances are that you are an inverted triangle .In that case wear necklines that sit close to the neck and do not extend too far out towards the shoulder – you want to draw the eye into the neck. Avoid boat necks and bar dots, which will accentuate the width of the shoulders. Use more curvy or round cuts to counter the angular nature of the body in shoulders.

Avoid Jackets with shoulder pads as it will further enhance the broad shoulders. Also avoid waist clinching dresses as they’’ll make the proportions look even broader.

Gone Baby Gone -

With their tribal loyalties and unkillable grudges, the cops, hoods, and hard-eyed women of South Boston have become the stuff of Shakespearean tragedy at the movies in recent years. The neighbourhood is a hotbed of broad-vowelled agonistes in Eastwood’s ‘Mystic River’, Scorsese’s ‘The Departed’ and now ‘Gone Baby Gone’, the flawed but impressive directorial debut by Boston native Ben Affleck.

Like ‘Mystic River’, Affleck’s film is adapted from a novel of the same name by Dennis Lehane, it’s steeped in local colour and texture, and it hinges on a lost child, an anguished parent, and a grievous backstory that sort of explains all. (Due to superficial resemblances to the Madeleine McCann kidnapping case, ‘Gone Baby Gone’ was withdrawn from the London Film Festival in 2007 and pushed back from its original December release date.) 

When little Amanda McCready goes missing, hopes are dim. She’s from a neighbourhood where residents aren’t disposed to talk to the cops, and her junkie mother, Helene (Amy Ryan), has incurred the wrath of a drug kingpin. Those are reasons enough for Amanda’s devoted aunt and uncle (Titus Welliver and Amy Madigan) to hire a young boyfriend-girlfriend team of private investigators, Patrick Kenzie (Casey Affleck, Ben’s brother) and Angie Gennaro (Michelle Monaghan in an inert, thankless role), who then spend the requisite amount of time earning the trust of the cynical, squinty detective on the case (Ed Harris, naturally) and the heartbroken police captain (Morgan Freeman), who knows parental sorrow all too well.

The Oscar-nominated Ryan is fantastic, creating a character who’s at once fearsome and pathetic. Casey Affleck’s wry, soft-spoken poise is the movie’s backbone, and as Kenzie’s investigation twists and deepens, the character enters uncharted and hopelessly blurred moral territory, where sacred bloodlines seem to lose their resolution and doing the right thing starts to look all wrong (and vice versa). The rub, though, is that the film’s compelling ambiguities come to a head in a final, puzzle-solving final-reel development that is so mawkishly convoluted and screamingly absurd that it threatens to upend all the fine work that went before it.

Town -

If Gone Baby Gone wasn't proof enough that Ben Affleck could be a real filmmaker, here comes The Town to further establish his credentials -- and to reestablish him as a strong, vulnerable leading man.

Gripping and moving at the same time, The Town is a solid heist movie whose fleshed-out characters give the story the weight it requires to be more than just a caper film.

Based on a novel by Chuck Hogan (and adapted by Affleck, Aaron Stockard and Peter Craig), The Town is about a crew of armored-car and bank robbers, led by Doug MacRay (Affleck), who all hail from the Charlestown neighborhood in Boston -- supposedly the area of the U.S. that produces the most bank robbers per capita.

But something happens on the job that opens the film: Doug falls for Claire (Rebecca Hall), the bank manager, who they take hostage -- briefly -- because someone triggered the silent alarm. They release her unharmed, but Doug's excitable partner Jem (Jeremy Renner), is afraid she'll somehow implicate them to the FBI. He wants to eliminate her but Doug has other ideas. 

Though supposedly assessing her as a threat, Doug instead finds himself drawn to her. So post-robbery and sans disguise, he maneuvers himself into a position to ask her out.

The untenable relationship blossoms, even as she is also mildly pursued by the FBI agent, Frawley (Jon Hamm), who is chasing MacRay and his crew. But MacRay is dealing with other baggage as well. He's a recovering alcoholic who sees in Claire the exit door from a lifestyle that no longer makes sense to him.

Getting out isn't that easy. He's lifelong friends with Jem and a former lover of Jem's skanky sister (Blake Lively). So any attempt to put them behind him is seen as a personal betrayal. He also has a father (Chris Cooper), another bank robber, who he visits in prison -- and who reminds him of the dangers of thinking above his station.

MacRay is in an untenable position. The FBI is getting closer, even as his relationship with Claire is heating up. Their future is less than uncertain; it's impossible. Yet he sees her as a source of his own salvation, though he knows he can't keep the truth from her forever.
