Workouts

Working Out

              Working out can improve your style in more ways than one. Once, working out makes your body more toned which then maked yourself more attractive. When you notice that you are more attractive and in shape, you become happier than you used to be, and then as a result you will take more effort into your looks in multiple ways. Like buying more and different clothes, making outfits in advance, ect.

              Working out also improves your overall happiness. After working out for a couple weeks you will start to notice your body becoming more lean. In order to continue and keep this transition, you will need to keep going to the gym on a structured scedule. To start you should go to the gym 2-3 times per 7 days. After 2-3 weeks depending on your health and fitness status you can increase the number to 3-5 days a week. Remembering to have a rest day no less than one rest day for every two workout days.

             After your workout, you should drink plenty of water. I prefer water because when you workout you lose water. (saying why should you drink sports drinks if your sweating water, so why not just drink what your body is losing. water). Also, you should eat some sort of protein. Either a protein bar, eggs, or fresh, lean meat. 

Once again, thank you..

Why do I do this?

Why do I do This???

               I created my blog for multiple reasons. First, to share my opinions, views, and tips about clothing and style(Main reason), a way to earn a little money(In the process of), and sort of as an experiment. Further explaining my first reason, I feel that I am good with matching my clothes and have a considerate amount of "Style Intelligence". And I just wanted to help people who seem to struggle with it. Secondly, I wanted to attempt to earn some money. I tried to find many ways in order to earn money online and have struggled. Many websites pertain to the idea that they can do just that but really they are just scams or you'll earn very little. If someone were to ask me this question, I would say three things. Start a YouTube channel if you are good with speaking and are skilled at or want to learn editing videos. Start a website. This is quite simple, for a free website just make a GoogleSite. And once you get another web traffic and what not, you can get AdSense and make money. Third and my last way, is Blogger or any blogging website. If you are able to type and have interesting topics that people want, you can earn some money. Lastly, I started this sort of as an experiment. I wanted to see if I, and when could I get a reasonable amount of views, if any. In the first 2 or so days, I really wasn't getting any views, but all of a sudden after 3-5 days my traffic went up from 1-2 to 60-80 in a madder of 3 days. And now I'm wondering what it will be like if/when I continue this for weeks, and months, and into the summer when I can work even further on this. Please comment any interesting subjects that you would like, Thank you quite very much!

What to/not to wear while exercising

What should you wear when exercising???

               It is very important of what you wear when you exercise and go to the gym for multiple reasons. One, certain colors can make you hot faster than others, as well as the clothing's materials, and also the weight and fitting of the clothes. To further explain each I will go into detail about each and provide evidence for you.
              If you choose to wear darker clothing to work out, you will get hotter and more exhausted faster than if you were to be wearing a lighter color of clothing. This is because all light contains heat, and the darker the material the more light is absorbed which means more heat is also absorbed into you. This also means that you can end up be spending more money at your gym on drinks, waters, and shakes. Additionally, if you wear 100% cotton shirts that will also make you hotter faster since the material is made from only cotton, and its heavier. So, try to tend to lighter colors like white, gray, blue, etc. And try to wear clothing that are made of stretchy athletic material instead of cotton shirts and clothing. 
               Lastly on this subject, the fitting of your clothes heavily affects your gym/workout experience. If you wear loose and baggier clothes, your skin will get more air and cooling. Which in turn lets you workout longer and prevents you from not getting as exhausted. But, you may feel more uncomfortable with baggy clothes. Now, if you wear tighter, more form fitting clothes you will feel more comfortable but more hot. Since when you sweat, the sweat is quickly soaked up from your shirt which is formed on you body well. Well there you have it, these are some clothing tips of going to the gym and working out to better improve your experience, Thanks truly. 

Fake shoes V.S Real shoes

 Top 2 FAKE shoes V.S REAL shoes identification 

               With everyone wanting Yeezy's and expensive brand new Jordan's, it can become difficult to verify if certain shoes are legit or not. In this article I will be going over some of the most widely counterfeited shoes and how to spot them, as well as wear you can buy the real versions. But beforehand, I would like to say that some people purchase fake shoes and don't even realize it. With this in mind, try to limit your rudeness to them especially if they don't realize this just so you don't seem to be a "Know it. First and foremost, I'll start with the Yeezy's, the most counterfeited shoe of all. These shoes have very unique patterns and colors that can help you identify them.

The first method of identifying fake Yeezy's is to look at the designed lines throughout the shoe. In a true pair, these lines will be fairly straight. In a fake pair the lines might turn or curve a little. Secondly, the strap at the back of the shoe should be quite close to the top of the shoe as in the picture, and the red line on it should be dashed in a very high quality(No frays of the red lines etc). The last easiest method is to check the insoles. In a real pair of yeezys, the insole will be black with black lettering saying " Adidas Yeezy" with the Adidas logo in between the words. 
               Retro Jordan's are a very popular shoe which everyone wants these days. If you didn't know already, Jordan shoes were founded by NBA star player Michael Jordan. Due to some shoes popularity and high, rising price knock offs are becoming more prominent.

The first way that you can tell if these shoes are fake is by the IV tag. On the real shoes a "Style Number" is shown. Staying on the IV tag, if you use a bar code scanner app and scan it, the correct shoe should appear. If not, you have a fake! P.S, On newer models, the tag is glued on instead of being stitched. If your buying online does the description say "100% authentic"? if so that is a good sign. But even if it just says "authentic" that is a little suspicious. Lastly on the box does the description contain the correct colorway abbreviations? If you are  unsure, search the Internet for the specific shoes box and colorway to help make sure the shoe is real. Once again, there are the top 2 most counterfeited shoes on the market, how to identify them, and where to buy them(links under pictures).

Clothing colors and styles for the seasons

Clothing colors/styles to wear in each season...

                Depending on the seasons, you should wear a multitude of colors and styles in order to successfully compliment the seasons gesture. First of all I'll start with Spring and go forward. Spring time is full of new colors, blossoming flowers, and greening lively grass. To compliment these colors of the outdoors in order to appear better looking, more healthy, and more seasonal backed from recent studies it it shown that you should wear blues, greens, whites, and bright colors. T shirts are the number 1 choice unless weather prohibits. This will work with any type of bottom and shoes. For summer it is all about keeping cool, and looking good. That is why in the summer you should choose to wear brightly colored tank tops, and Athletic wear. These colors should be white, red, blue, and orange. And a nice hat or sunglasses would add even more style to you.                                        In the fall it begins to get more chilly and the days become shorter. In the fall months sweat pants and dark washed jeans look the best. As for tops, plaid shirts and long sleeves will look the absolute best. On chillier or wet days, you should have a nice windbreaker jacket. These are nice because they aren't bulky, are light, waterproof, and keep you warm in most fall temperatures. Winter is the most brutal month of all but can still become very easy to dress well in this cold harsh weather. Dark colored long sleeve shirts and  sweaters as a base layer will keep you cozy and looking good indoors. While outside, dark colored jackets work well with the snows crisp white color. On days that aren't as cold, a nice thick sweatshirt will do if you have a nice base layer shirt. If you didn't already, you should invest in a good pair of boots to wear in the winter as well as the fall. I personally prefer Timberland boots, in the tan colorway because of their rugged durability and everlasting style.These are my tips for looking good and beating the heat and cold for all four of the months, Thanks for your time!

How to care for and clean your shoes

How to care for and clean shoes

It is extremely vital to clean and care for your shoes. This is because it shows that you care about your looks and makes your colors and outfit stand out. There are different methods for different shoes that I will soon explain. Beforehand, lets distinguish the different materials that make up shoes to help you out below.

• Suede ( Polo's, dress up shoes)
• Leather ( Air Force 1's, some Jordan's, Polo's)
• Mesh ( Roche's, Jordan Eclipse, etc)
• Athletic ( Cleats, Basketball shoes)                                

   

               How to clean Suede shoes. The best way to clean suede shoes is with a towel or rag, and water. In some cases you can use normal hand soap if the shoe is very dirty. Leather shoes are probably the most difficult type of shoes to clean, this is because of the materials you need. For a proper cleaning, it is recommended that you use or purchase a leather cleaner liquid. Simply apply this to a rag and wipe the shoe clean.                                                                                                                                                                          Mesh shoes, to clean these you can use a damp towel to roughly rub the mesh clean. Do not soak the towel or the water will leak inside the shoe and destroy it. For parts of the shoe that aren't mesh, use soapy water to rub onto the material, and wait 5 minutes. Then wipe the soap off with a wet towel. Lastly, for athletic shoes. these shoes are quite easy to clean for me personally. You can use virtually anything from water, hand soap, special shoe cleaner liquids, and so much more. you can vigorously wipe entire shoe down, let it sit for 5 minutes and wash it off. After I clean my shoes I prefer to use shoe refreshing spray, and waterproofing spray as well. These are just extra measures to enhancing my shoes lifespan and cleanliness.

Shoes: Where and What to wear them with

The two W's to wearing shoes 

                    Do you know the 2 W's of wearing shoes? In this post I'll be going over the 3 W's with you so I can help you improve your style in 5-10 minutes. First and foremost before I start, I would like to explain the types of shoes there are. 

               First, basketball shoes refer to mostly high top shoes which are durable, colorful and come in many different styles. You can wear basketball shoes in many ways depending on the seasons. In summer, You can wear basketball styled shoes with cargo shorts, athletic shorts, joggers, and certain jeans. If your wearing shorts, your socks should show above the shoe. This little adjustment boosts your look a lot. Just wearing taller socks makes you look like yo put more time into your outfit, Nike Elite socks are a great choice I recommend since I wear them often. Any shirt besides a dress shirt looks good with this. 

          The next type of shoe I'll talk about is low top shoes. These include shoes like Air Force 1's, Huaraches, and Roches. These shoes are very stylish and go with so many outfit combo's. You can wear these with any type of shorts, joggers, jeans, sweatpants, etc. If your looking for a sporty style, go with shorts and the Elite socks. If your wearing pants you can wear athletic shirts, cotton T's, and button up "nice" shirts if your wearing something like Airforce 1's. Lastly, I'll tell you about formal shoes. These include shoes like Polo's. Personally I like these a lot especially on Friday when i dress up or in school the day of your sports game as a team. These pretty much go with khaki's and button up shirts but you can wear them with jogger pants for a slightly more laid back look.

               Now on to the 2 W's of wearing shoes. The first W is where. You should wear basketball shoes going to the gym or a sports complex or simply outside. For when, Basketball shoes should be worn durring the summer or fall because of their good airating qualitys. You shouldn't wear them durring the summer because they lack insulation and get cold very quickly, as for the spring, you shouldn't wear them do to exess rainfall and the shoes lacking waterproofing.

               Low top shoes can be worn for a sporty look or a dress up styled approach. They can be worn throughout all the seasons due to their comfort and the materials that they are made of. Lastly, the formal shoes type should 75% of the time be worn to dress up weither its just a button up or beyond. The only exception is that certain Polo shoes can be worn with sweats and/or joggers. Once agsin, thank you for taking the time to read this article.

                                                                                                                                             

Clothing colors and their affects

Color and their affects

               Color can heavily influence the way you look in multiple ways. One which is quite obvious, matching. If you take 5 extra minutes into your day of creating an outfit that matches, you will look 100 times better. Also, it is good to set up an outfit the night before. This is because your brain is more awake and aware to distinguish what looks better. In contrast, in the first 5-10 minutes of your morning your brain is as aware as a five year old! 

               Wearing the color red makes you stand out from the crowd. It displays dominance and can lets others view you as a leader and more attractive. Red is also a good color for a first date since it is seen as romantic in some situations.

               If you choose to wear the color blue you can be seen as soothing and calm. Also, if your in a group, blue can increase creativity, but it is seen as less dominant and leader-like.

               White is seen as peaceful, clean, and simplistic. White reflects light and the suns rays. Which can keep you cool on a hot day or working out at the gym. You should incorporate white in your outfit if you want to bring out other colors in your outfit and have a brighter looking wardrobe. White is good on a summer day if your looking to keep it simple and look clean and fresh.

               If you choose to wear black, people will see you as serious, professional, and responsible. Because of this black is a good color to wear for a job interview because of its professional and responsible characteristics. Black is also a good color to wear if you want others to see you as strong and tough.

               Lastly, we have the color green. The color green is soothing and calm, similar to blue. It also symbolizes nature and health. Wearing green can reduce stress of others to see it due to it being soothing. This is a great color to wear in the spring or if you have a big test coming up in school.
