Women of the world unite! It doesn't matter what size, shape or age you are...beauty comes in all forms. Be positive and be rebellious enough to let your own beauty shine through! There are some very simple ways that any woman can look and feel her best without breaking the bank.

First of all clothing should always flatter the woman that is wearing it. Take a look at your closet and get rid of anything that does not fit you properly or is out dated. The 1980's animal print blazer with the shoulder pads can go in the trash bin! A basic wardrobe should consist of some key pieces that will take you from the boardroom to dinner with only a change of accessories. A black suit, a crisp white shirt, a black turtleneck sweater, a good fitting pair of jeans and a little black dress are key pieces that every woman should have in her wardrobe. Trends will always come and go. Good fit and classic styling never go out of style.

Great accessories take the look from classic to wow in less than five minutes. A great handbag and shoes along with some jewelry change your little black dress into an outfit that reflects your personal style.

Your beautiful face deserves a lovely frame, so a flattering hairstyle is essential. Women who have oval faces can wear any hairstyle as long as it isn't too long in length. Hair styles that fall just below the chin, and are layered flatter women with round faces the most. Textured haircuts or hairstyles that end in curls flatter a square shaped face. Wavy layers or side swept bangs flatter a heart shaped face.

Your hands are the one part of your body that everyone sees on a daily basis so why not give them the pampering they deserve. Soak hands in warm water then shape and push back your cuticles. Put a good moisturizer on your hands then put them in white cotton gloves so it can soak in well. Sally Hansen carries a nail therapy product containing silk protein, which promotes nail strength and growth. File and shape your nails so that they are all the same length. Paint them in your choice of nail polish or give them a coat of clear polish to give them strength.

Being a healthy woman equals a beautiful woman. Drinking 8-10 glasses of water a day promotes good digestion and clear skin. Eating a healthy balanced diet and getting at least 25-30 minutes of moderate exercise a day helps you to feel your best. As women, our faces show our age if we do not get at least eight hours of sleep a day. Taking 15 minutes per day to meditate or relax helps to reduce stress which helps you look and feel your absolute best.
