Most contemporary women cannot go a day without make-up. Who can blame them? With the pressures of work, family while looking good, women like to carry round the bags of make-up everywhere they go to look fresh and beautiful, so much so that they have forgotten how to stay beautiful WITHOUT make-up.

Ironically, staying beautiful the natural way is easier than most think but one thing is required to carry it through:

Confidence – feeling beautiful should firstly come from your own conviction. It is hard to be completely satisfied with yourself when there is no confidence. In that case no amount of make-up and tips will keep you looking and feeling beautiful enough.

The best way to look radiant is to start treating the skin from the inside. It is quite understandable that people who have demanding jobs may not be able to sleep a full 5-8 hours.

However it is important that you get enough rest, enough times in the week. It will give you a stress free face and it will help you stay fresh always.

This probably the second place of the body that picks up dirt more than other parts of the body. It is made even worse with the constant application of make-up. It is important to wash the face at least twice daily.

The eyebrows must be kept tidy always. It stops the face from looking busy and unkempt. Whether you like to pluck or tweeze them the eyebrow must be kept in place.

it is good to pick a hairstyle that suits your face and wear it often. For one thing, it leaves an imprint of your natural look in the minds of everyone who knows you.

Smile often! It is amazing how a genuine smile makes you light up a room. it makes you appear warm to others and draws others to you.

I most times get excited when i see Africans especially celebrities and public figures pride theirselves in African prints and designs when they step out of the shores of their countries. I say celebrities and public figures because they are more exposed to media and public attention. They represent us wherever they go and people pay more attention to the kind of clothes they wear. Impressively, Ghanaian celebrities are doing well lately by wearing african inspired designs or fabrics when they attend events abroad. Jackie Appiah did well with her African Dress at the premiere of "Death after Birth" in Itally.

The Fashion Publicist: Hardly no gowns at Ghana Movie Awards 2011: An hour ago, I was looking at the photos on Ameyaw Debrah's site and one thing I noticed was that few ladies wore gowns to the Ghana Movie A...
And its a wrap for 2011. The last for the long year. In a matter of hours we shall usher ourselves into 2012 crossing over with God on our side. At the beginning of ever year we make our resolutions but have we found out if we did achieve them or not. Well in 2012, i hope we make achievable resolutions and as the year rolls on we moniter how far that is working.

This year had been a real battle for me. Having to discover more about myself and what i want to do let me say am ready for 2012. I promise to delve deep into my passion for fashion pr and expose to my readers to what fashion pr is all about.

I wish everyone a very prosperous new year and 2012 ACTION!
What we wear tells a lot about ourselves without having to open our mouth to do so. Communication is both a verbal and non-verbal way of transmitting information to another.
The way we dress does communicate. It tells a lot about us. What we are, who we are, what we want to say to others and what we do.
To dress means to wear clothes of a certain style or kind. To put on an apparel to befit a particular occasion or location. The kind of clothes we decide to wear could communication gender, social status, religion, culture and many others. Wearing clothes is one issue and wearing the right clothes at the right time is another. One cannot choose to dress anyhow to any function at anytime.
What we should always remember is that the kind of clothes we wear tells a lot about us hence we cannot afford to miscommunicate about ourselves to others.
My new discovery and interest for fashion PR may be new but its actually been there for ages and i never knew about it until a few months ago. It all started during my final year in the university when i started thinking about what i wanted to major in after my degree certificate. I wanted to be a Public Relations Professional but the question that always beat my mind was what in Public Relations do i want to be. I wanted a career that i was going to love and be satisfied with. 
Growing up with my mum, i spent lots of my time with her. She is a fashion designer and I mostly help her with her works especially the finishing works of her clients outfits. She also seeks my opinion on how and what appropriate styles will fit a particular fabric.Her clients would tell me that i was going to take after her because of my dedication to helping her with her works. Little did i know that that was going to be a reality.
Years have passed and now i want to be a fashion publicist. Some people can really predict the future without knowing.
This is just the beginning of my journey to a greater height.
