TAKING CARE OF YOUR CLOTHES// Fashion, lifestyle


THE HOW TO'S OF

 The other day I had to do some laundry, the not so exciting thing but necessary. It is something we all do whether daily , weekly or monthly. The LAUNDRY!






But now it is recommended not to wash your things to  often. WHY,  reason being it is better for the garment as it does not wear down the fibres, and also it prevents those microfibres from being released in the water , into the rivers and oceans. YES microfibres so minuscule that we can't even see them with our eyes  is something the clothes we wear creates and pollutes the water.
Polyester and acrylic are 2 types of fabrics that are problematic.

 Even designer Stella McCarthey is saying , don't wash your clothes so often.
Or the Levi jeans head say don't wash your jeans. Apparently he puts his pairs in the freezer.





Okay, what is the best way to care for your clothing?


  • Wash using liquid soaps, 
  • not to overfill the machine with to many items, 
  • gently wash. 
  • Also to follow the washing label instructions that are sewn inside the item
  • if just a spot , clean the spot by hand, gently blot it with a damp cloth till clean.
  • hang to dry inside or outside on hangers or drying rack, clothes line



All this will increase the longevity of your clothes.

 Another option is to air out the clothing, fresh air is one simple way to freshen up a piece.
All good points to keep your clothes lasting longer and looking good.

Flying high // travel

B  Time to Fly   Sumer holidays are around the corner and deciding where to go or what to pack can e daunting experience.  So what to pack ? Well after reading how some airlines charge passenger to check the baggage. First I believe the budget airlines started , but now the big name ones have also started to charge it! American Airlines , southwest , Air Canada .  And the extra cost if is a jackpot for the airlines.  I have not travel with the budget lines but have used some of the others mentioned  and  I won’t be booking any trips with them!  Really what do they think? If the operate a service to transport you and your belongs  that should be included , NOT an extra expense.  Give you an idea of what they collect in these extra fees  then read this report via BBC.  Truthfully people need to tell these companies  NO .  Even a handbag is next to the list.   They are making BILLIONS from from these extra fees!...

Keeping Warm - Fashion Style

 POP of COLOR Yes it is something we all want need. Keeping warm in the cold winter months.  One of favorite knit top has been my steady Look. The fact it has a large cowl neck collar that I pull up over my face  when it’s windy outside.  It is comfortable and feels cozy . The color is vibrant on those dull dreary days .  A pop of color is nice to see during the winter  season when mostly black seems to be the color of choice.  The Accessories .  I love to add a few accessories also.  Bracelets add a little interest to the look .  The three sterling silver bangles worn over sleeve looks good  , as well as the multi twist bracelet.  Ps  The photo does not show the true color .  It’s a very vibrant blue shade . Looks dull .  After a few retakes no change.  Camera issues.
