Some Excersise Right There in Your Office


* Taking that document to the next room by yourself rather than sending the office assistant. Most of us sit almost all day at our desks, alittle blood flow that aids circulation goes a long way.

* Going to the third floor? Take the stairs! I know that the elevator takes you there faster, but burning some calories while going up or coming down the stairs is worth it.

* Cut down on all those meat pies, fried foods and oily foods at work. Try some salad, vegetables with fruit drinks, and fresh fruits instead.

* Walk around, and stretch your feet at least every hour.

Reduce body aches by adopting good postures while working at your desks, lifting heavy boxes or standing on a queue.

Is Your Work Wardrobe so Conservative and Boring?


Your work wardrobe is so conservative and boring. How can you perk it up?

Add elements that are new and surprising – but not short-lived and trendy, so they last several seasons. Instead of putting the expected – a white shirt – under a navy pinstriped pantsuit, try a shiny satin-finish shirt in tangerine, pale green, or golden yellow.

Break up a suit: Substitute a lilac sweater set for the businesslike blazer that came with pleated trousers – or wear the blazer with slim-cut khakis. Slip a cashmere tee under a straitlaced vest. Accessories energize youe image too. Belt sedate trousers with a red or green snakeskin or patent leather belt instead of black or brown; replace equestrian scarves with striped, dotted, or animal-print neckerchiefs and oblongs. Drop big jewelry and switch to small, sentimental pieces, or none at all.
