1. 1. SHOW SKIN STRATEGICALLY Looking truly sexy involves knowing what to bare-and what to keep under wraps. Otherwise, where's the mystery? "Choose one-only one-body part and show it off," advises Jen Rade, stylist to Jenna Fischer and Angelina Jolie. "If it's cleavage, don't show your legs. If it's your legs, stay covered on top." EVERETT COLLECTION 2. 2. ROUND UP WHITE BUTTON-DOWNS Take a classic cue from Marilyn Monroe ! They elevate jeans and keep ball skirts from drifting into fantasy-land. But all that mileage comes at a cost: a short shelf life. So buy three, don't overbleach (which can cause yellowing), and refresh regularly. DYAD PHOTOGRAPHY 3. 3. ACCESSORIZE IN BRIGHTS If you've got a closet full of neutrals-be they navy, black, camel, or gray-add energy with boldly hued shoes and bags. Not only is a hunter green satchel more lively than ho-hum black, but it's also surprisingly versatile. Feeling really...

The oldest woman in the world has revealed her secret to a long life as she turns 117 this week. Emma Moran - who has survived two World Wars , claims eating three eggs a day has helped her reached the record milestone. She has eaten one cooked and two raw eggs each day since a doctor recommended doing so when she was diagnosed with anemia at the age of 20. PROMOTED STORIES She also credits eating small amounts of minced meat and only having milk for supper. However, she also used to eat 500 grams of Gianduiotti every week (chocolates made with the hazelnuts), and glasses full of honey. As the huge milestone approaches, Emma cheerily accepts presents, before telling reporters: "I’m doing really fine, but my legs are weak." Emma was born in Civiasco, province of Vercelli, in 1899 as the first of eight children. As a teenager, she enjoyed dancing, loved waltz and tango and adored music - but she suffered hard times throughout her life. During the First W...

Resolutions are notorious for falling by the wayside a few months or even days into the New Year. A 2012 University of Scranton study revealed that only 8 percent of people who make New Year's resolutions are successful in achieving them. This low success rate may relate to the fact that many of us are more inclined to center our resolutions on self- criticism than on real aspirations or desires. Rarely do we set a goal to spend more time joking around with friends or listening to music we enjoy. Rather, our resolutions tend to focus on "fixing" our flaws or "correcting" our failures. This negative viewpoint comes from a "critical inner voice" we all possess that alerts us of what we need to fix, while reminding us that we won't succeed. Filtering our personal goals through this critical lens only sets us up for failure. With that in mind, this year, I want to propose a new list of deeply rewarding and reachable resolutions. The...

There are people who like being alone, maybe even love it. What do you think they are like? Does your mind immediately leap to the misanthrope or the dreaded loner hiding away somewhere plotting his next murder? As Anneli Rufus told us in her wonderful Party of One: The Loners’ Manifesto, those stereotypes don’t capture real loners. True loners are people who embrace their alone time. Those who lash out are typically alone against their will. They want to be included. They want to be loved by the objects of their desire. But they’ve been excluded and rejected instead. That exclusion and rejection (among other things) fuels their hostility and rage. What’s the truth about people who like being alone? Thanks to some newly developed scales for measuring attitudes toward being alone, we now have research-based answers. First, though, we need to understand what it means to like being alone. One sense of “alone” refers to spending ...

Whether you witnessed or experienced violence as a child or your caretakers emotionally or physically neglected you, when you grow up in a traumatizing environment you are likely to still show signs of that trauma as an adult. Children make meaning out of the events they witness and the things that happen to them, and they create an internal map of how the world is. This meaning-making helps them cope. But if children don't create a new internal map as they grow up, their old way of interpreting the world can damage their ability to function as adults. While there are many aftereffects of childhood emotional trauma, here we'll look specifically at four ways childhood emotional trauma impacts us as adults. 1. The False Self As a childhood emotional trauma therapist, I see many patients who carry childhood emotional wounds with them into adulthood. One way these wounds reveal themselves is through the creation of a false self . As children, we want ou...
