How To Upgrade Your Appearance With These 6 Easy Tips!

No one wants to believe it… but it’s true. There is even a study to back it up…Looks matter.  And good looking people actually make more money (for the exact same job) than less attractive people.  And this is not isolated to jobs like modeling and acting where one would expect looks to play such a major role. Good-looking doctors and lawyers make more than not-so-good looking doctors and lawyers.  Outside of massive plastic surgery, you are not able to turn yourself into Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie.  But, there are things you can do to maximize what you’ve got that can make a big difference in the way you are viewed by others. Here are 6 quick and easy tips keep you looking good:  1. Start an exercise program!  Yeah… yeah… this sounds like work.  But the truth is:  you don’t have to go crazy and bulk up like Arnold.  Just exercising 30 minutes a day can have a dramatic effect on your appearance.  Many times, dropping 5 pounds can make you look like a new man or woman.  Not to mention the health benefits as a side effect!  And a little exercise can… 2. Improve your body language!  Body language has a greater impact on your overall appearance and the way others judge you than most think.  Standing and sitting up straight not only makes you feel better about yourself, it makes you look confident and authoritative to others.  There is a reason why the military places so much importance on posture and dress. Speaking about dress… 3. Keep your clothes free from pet hair, lint and sweater fuzz!  If you have a dog or a cat – you know the nightmare of getting dressed for work or a night out… looking down… and being covered in HAIR!  If you don’t have a lint brush handy, one of the best ways is to simply dampen your hand with water and run it over your clothes.  And if you are afraid of using too much water and getting the “wet look”, running your hand over your clothes with a rubber or latex glove attracts pet hair like a magnet!  Don’t ignore your pet hair covered clothes – THEY LOOK TERRIBLE!!! 4. Polish and rotate your shoes!  As you probably know, people notice shoes and their condition.  And even if your shoes are a little old, they can look very good if you take care of them and keep them polished.  Once again, the military is onto something here.  What’s the deal with “rotating” your shoes?  Rotating the shoes you wear everyday not only keeps people from seeing you in the same shoes everyday (yes, people notice), it allows your shoes to dry out completely and you will not wear them out as fast as if you wore them everyday. 5. Learn how to tie a tie… with a knot that’s right for you!  Most men are not aware that there are actually different knots for different occasions and face types.  Get it right and you will stand out and have an automatic conversation starter when you go out. You will not only look better – but seem smarter and more fashionable.  Just go to “YouTube” and type in “neck tie knots” and you will be amazed. 6. Pack clothes so they don’t wrinkle!  What’s worse… clothes full of pet hair or wrinkles?  Not sure – but know this: they both make you look bad.  Google the “bundle wrapping technique” and “Japanese turbo-fold” and you will travel virtually wrinkle-free.  Wait until you see the video on the Japanese turbo-fold… it’s amazing!!!
