Gone are the days when leggings were only worn with sports or workout outfits. Thanks to their versatility, flexibility, and comfort, these stretchy pants are now a must-have fashion item in any woman’s wardrobe. Leggings are so popular that denim jeans have taken a back seat. Did you know that the demand for leggings is steadily growing in the United States while denim sales continue to decline? People are after comfort and functionality more than anything—and leggings satisfy this need.

If you are an avid fan of these ultra-comfy stretchy pants, you probably own several pairs of full-length leggings in classic black. After all, they are the most versatile type and can effortlessly complement any outfit, from casual shirts and tops to dresses and skirts. Although there is nothing wrong with sticking to the basics, you might be missing out if you do not explore other legging options. Who knows? Perhaps you will discover a new favorite if you try multiple styles.

In case you are unaware of the different types of leggings, read on. This article will give you an overview of stylish leggings that you may want to try at least once. We have also included a few helpful tips on how you can wear these stretchy pants and how to care for them so that they will last longer. 

Different Legging Styles Worth Trying Out

Believe it or not, there are tons of legging styles to suit your every need, preference, and activity. From denim and leather to floral and flared, here are several exciting and versatile designs that you may want to try out and include in your leggings collection:

Denim Leggings

If you often wish for your skinny jeans to feel as comfortable as your leggings, you better shop for denim leggings to get what you always wanted. Denim leggings or jeggings look practically identical to ordinary jeans, but they are stretchier and more comfortable. And since they are made of denim and spandex blend, they are much thicker than most leggings and can be styled and worn as you would typical skinny jeans. For the most flattering look, you may want to opt for denim leggings with a dark wash to create an attractive silhouette. 

Leather Leggings

Before you dismiss the idea of wearing leather leggings because they seem too edgy, why don’t you try them out first? Chances are, they will become your go-to pants if you want to look ultra-stylish and comfortable at the same time. Leather leggings are versatile and can easily elevate your fashion game. Pair them with a long button-down shirt and ballet flats for a casual look. You can also wear them with your favorite office top and stilettos for a comfy work ensemble. The key is to style them as you would a pair of ordinary slim black pants.

Colorful Leggings

If you only have leggings in black and other neutral hues, you may want to bring a splash of color to your collection. From royal blue and green to purple and fuchsia pink, colorful leggings can brighten up your day and give you a much-needed energy boost. You can mix and match them with different tops or wear them underneath your favorite dresses and skirts. Try wearing a pair in your favorite color, for starters. Pair them with a sweater and white sneakers, and you are ready to run errands or hang out with friends.

Flower Print Leggings

Besides colorful leggings, you should also purchase a couple of pairs of floral leggings as they are comfortable and functional. You can wear them to the gym for that feminine, sophisticated vibe. They are also perfect for traveling and informal events. Just match them with a long chambray top and grey white pumps, let your hair loose, and you are all set.

Ankle Split Leggings

Ankle split leggings are unlike ordinary leggings as they have short slits along the side or front center seam of the pants. They are a must-have, especially if you are looking for leggings that you can wear for various occasions. Pair them with an oversized blazer, belt, high-heeled shoes, and chunky necklace, and you are ready for the office. For casual get-togethers in the evening, change into a linen blouse and chunky boots.

Flared Leggings

Another type of legging-trouser hybrid that you should try wearing is a pair of flared leggings. Besides providing utmost comfort, these stretchy pants make your legs look longer and offer an ideal outfit foundation. You can readily dress them up or down depending on the top and shoes you wear. For instance, you can wear them for date night by pairing them with a flowy off-the-shoulder top and wedge sandals or with a blazer over a crop top and a pair of high-heeled platform boots.

Style Tips and Tricks on How to Wear Leggings

Leggings can be worn to different occasions and places. They can also make you look stylish if you know how to wear them correctly. Remember that, as with other wardrobe staples, wearing leggings without care can result in a fashion disaster. Make sure that your legging game is always on point by considering the tips below:

  • Find the right fit. Wearing a pair of leggings that are too loose or too tight can be unflattering. Make sure that you only purchase leggings that are just tight enough to cover your lower body comfortably. 
  • Match prints with solid colors. Pair your solid color leggings with printed or patterned tops to elevate your outfit. However, do the opposite if you are wearing floral or printed bottoms.
  • Consider ankle-length or footed leggings. If you want to create a slimmer and longer silhouette, opt for ankle-length or footed leggings and pair them with high heels. Shorter leggings that end at your knee or calf can make you look shorter, so you may want to use them exclusively for working out or during hot days.
  • Wear the right shoes. Leggings look good with ballet flats, sandals, sneakers, and boots. Just make sure that the style and color of the footwear go well with the rest of your outfit. If you want to wear high-heeled shoes or pumps, be sure that they match your top so that you will appear put together. 
  • Put them on for leg coverage. If you love wearing short skirts but are conscious about showing too much skin, you can pair them with leggings to cover your legs. These stretchy pants look good under mini dresses, short skirts, or even a pair of cut-off denim shorts.

How to Care for Your Leggings 

Be sure that your versatile leggings maintain their stretchiness, color, and fit by caring for them the right way. To help you out, here are several pointers you may want to consider to keep your leggings in good condition for many years:

  • Avoid over washing. Unless you sweat profusely while wearing your leggings, wash them after three or four uses to keep the integrity of the fabric. However, remember to hang and air them out as soon as you take them off to avoid odor build-up.
  • Be gentle. Prevent the material from snagging by putting your leggings inside a mesh laundry bag before throwing them in the washing machine. Always use a gentle cycle and mild detergent to protect their elasticity and color.
  • Wash them inside out. Do not forget to turn your leggings inside out before washing them to maintain their vivid color for longer. 
  • Skip the dryer. The heat from the dryer can weaken the fabric fibers of your leggings. That is why you should skip the dryer and air-dry these stretchy pants on a flat surface instead.

Comfortable, fashionable, and wearable for many different settings, leggings are a must-have garment in any woman’s closet. There are also many different styles and designs to explore. Keep in mind that every legging type has something unique to offer in terms of elevating your fashion game. Just make sure to consider the styling tips above so that you always look fabulous wearing them. Also, be sure to care for them properly to preserve their quality for longer.

Reading Time: 5 minutes

It’s no secret that many people have turned to alternative medicine in recent years to help improve their health. Many of these treatments, such as acupuncture and aromatherapy, are now being widely accepted as a form of holistic healing. But what about crystals? Crystals can be used for various purposes, from enhancing your mood to helping you sleep better at night. 

In this blog post, we will discuss the various ways crystals can help improve your health!

What are Crystals, and How Do They Work?

Crystals are a common form of alternative medicine and can be used in many different ways. They work by emitting an energy field that begins to influence the user’s own personal energy field. As stated by the team behind Divine Twist, the crystals’ energetic vibrations affect the body on emotional, physical, and spiritual levels (depending on what kind of crystal you’re using). They may look like pretty rocks, but crystals are actually mighty!

Ways Crystals Can Help Improve Your Health

Crystals can be used to help improve your health by working on emotional or physical levels.

  • Emotional: Crystals can help you manage your emotions. For example, if you are feeling down or stressed out, crystals may balance your mood and make you feel better! They are also helpful because they provide positive energy that boosts the immune system. This is great for people who work in high-stress environments where getting sick is a common problem.
  • Physical: Crystals can be used to help treat the body on physical levels by making it easier for your energy field and chakras (energy centers in the body) to stay balanced. This balance will allow you to heal more quickly from injuries or chronic pain and improve health overall!

Depending on how you want to benefit from using a crystal, different types will work best for you. Besides color preference (which is subjective—you’ll want to try out different colors until you find the one that works best for you!), there are other factors to consider when selecting a crystal, such as size and type. You may also wish to get an idea of what purpose each crystal serves before making your selection!

How to Use Crystals in Your Daily Life

Crystals have a wide variety of uses! Here are some popular ways to use them:

  • Keep a crystal nearby while you sleep. Some people find that they help improve their mood and allow them to get better rest at night. You can place it under your pillow or on the bedside table for this purpose.
  • Carry a crystal in your wallet or purse. This is a great way to have it on hand throughout the day since you can easily take it out whenever you want to use it!
  • Carry crystals around with you when traveling by keeping them in your pocket, carrying bags, etc. Some people find that they help reduce stress levels while flying or during long car rides.
  • Use crystals during meditation or yoga to enhance your experience!

There are so many ways you can use crystals in your daily life. It’s great for people who want an alternative treatment on hand at all times. It also makes a wonderful gift for friends and family members who could benefit from the healing powers of these beautiful stones!

Tips on Choosing the Right Crystal for You

There are many different crystals out there, so it may take some time before you find the most effective for your purposes. Some people like to try a couple of different colors until they see what works best for them, while others prefer to stick with just one color throughout their entire crystal journey!

Keep in mind the purpose you want to use your crystal for when choosing a color. For example, if you want to boost your immune system and get rid of the sniffles, try blue calcite! There are many different types of crystals out there that can be used in various ways.

Why We Should All be Using More Crystals in Our Lives

Many people are hesitant to use crystals because they don’t know how to choose the right one for them. Once you do get started, though, it’s easy! You can also buy pre-made sets that include various types of stones if you want an all-inclusive kit that includes many different colors and functions in your package.

It’s also a great idea to collect different types of crystals throughout your journey. This is a fun way to see how each one can benefit you in its own unique way, and it allows you to have even more options when using them!

In conclusion, you should definitely consider using crystals in your daily life because they can help you improve health and feel great. Not only that, but it’s a fun way to add some color and interest into your routine. Therefore, you should definitely give it a shot if you have some extra crystals lying around that are just waiting to be used!

When MUGLER Sexiness Goes Viral

There are no consensual fashion houses, and women will definitely have a specific reason to wear them. When we hear the name MUGLER, we already know the story will be powerful, sexy as hell and will empower women as no other brand does. In recent weeks, MUGLER struck big hits by openly bringing sexy back during this “so-so” Covid period. Two amazing collaborations are at honour: The dazzling look of Megan Fox at the VMAs and the awesome collaboration with WOLFORD. I must say that Casey Cadwallader’s arrival helped capitalise on the anatomical design heritage of the French luxury house and install it into new modernity. Casey Cadwallader is a true architect of women’s bodies, and his cut provides sassiness and elegance.

The Mugler woman is a powerhouse of energy made of an incredible attitude, timeless beauty and elegance. We can see it here in this video showcasing the Spring-Summer 2021 by Casey Cadwallader.

https://youtu.be/2glLbCTR22E

Megan Fox at the MTV Video Music Awards – Muglerized!

Megan Fox was trending on social media again, thanks to a see-through dress she wore at the MTV Video Music Awards. This is the third awards show in a row to which Fox has rocked Mugler. She wore that strategically placed Mugler little black dress to the Billboard Music Awards in May and the fashion house’s body-hugging pink Barbie jumpsuit to the iHeart Music Awards in March.

We can say that the collaboration between Megan Fox and Mugler is a match done in fashion heaven. The combination between Megan’s sex appeal and the Mugler audacity is pure TNT, as you can see in the image below. This is the perfect example of how Mugler sexiness goes viral, and it was even trending on Twitter!

https://www.instagram.com/p/CTxqeuFsajx/

This dress was a special order, inspired from what we saw during the Spring-Summer 2021 fashion show.

Mugler-SS21-naked-look

By magnifying the woman’s body, it is a way to showcase freedom of expression and self-assertiveness which are strong states on today’s world. Thanks to this collaboration, Megan Fox and Mugler made the headlines during the MTV VMAs. Megan Fox was for sure the highlight of the show’s red-carpet.

MUGLER x WOLFORD: The Perfect Anatomy

First time presented during MUGLER’s Spring-Summer 2020 collection, the collaboration with WOLFORD is a brilliant synergy of anatomic design, comfort and sexiness. WOLFORD is a manufacturer of textiles of the top price segment focusing on tights, bodysuits and underwear, as well as women’s clothing and accessories.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CT2he2bs72d/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link
https://www.instagram.com/p/CIbUgW6BMKy/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

This is a high-level collaboration that gives tights back their rank of iconic Mugler accessories. Tights are an essential accessory for fall-winter. Around him, it is just as many fantasies and received ideas that are propagated, making it a recognizable element of our Western cultures. And it was Mugler, through his new artistic director Casey Cadwallader, who brought a little sensuality back to the tights during his show for Spring / Summer 2020.

More than a graphic and resistant pair of tights, this Mugler x Wolford collaboration uses innovative technology with its shapely construction and sculpting fit. The black stitching on the front and back of this already iconic model enhances the natural contours of the body while providing a matte finish and a second skin feel.

In conclusion, and as a fan of the MUGLER brand, it is fascinating to see how contemporary the MUGLER design is. Audacity, cutting edge couture and sassiness are key elements that will always maintain MUGLER on top of the curve(s) from a timeless perspective. 🙂 You can also read my review about the recent new fragrance launch Alien Goddess featuring the sparkling Willow Smith.

What to Know When Shopping for Men’s Perfume

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Research shows us that 39% of men in the United States wear perfume on a daily basis. Just 15% of men say that they never wear perfume while 21% of men say that they use perfume at least a few times each week.

There is good reason to wear perfume, whether it is at work or in social settings, as it can help to improve your confidence and overall image.

If you are interested in purchasing men’s perfume, then this blog post is for you. Here, we will highlight what you need to know before purchasing a men’s fragrance.

Not All Perfumes Are Created Equal

Before you start browsing perfumes, it’s important to understand that there are a number of different perfumes. There is a marked difference between Eau de Cologne, Eau de toilette, Eau de parfum, and parfum. The former was created in Cologne, Germany, hence the name, and is the shortest-lasting fragrance with a small percentage of essential oils.

On the other hand, the highest quality is parfum, which is the longest-lasting fragrance with at least 25% of essential oils. Its fragrance can last for 24 hours or even more. There will be, naturally, a difference in the cost of each of these options.

Try Before You Buy

This is a must-do before you decide on a perfume. Even if a particular perfume has a great reputation, it may not be the best choice for you and your needs.

Determine, first of all, when you will be wearing perfume. If it is in a formal setting, the best choice of perfume here will likely be different from a perfume you would wear on a date or when hanging out with friends. There are also perfumes that are best suited to different seasons, so take the time to try before you buy. Check out the following link to buy Bvlgari at Perfume Price.

Learn How to Apply Perfume

The first rule here is not to overdo it when it comes to applying perfume. Less is definitely more. Each bottle applicator will be different, so there is no exact rule, but start off with a small amount and add a spray or two if you feel it’s necessary.

When applying, hold the bottle a few inches away from your skin. The most effective areas to apply perfume are the neck, inner wrist, and chest.

Find the Best Men’s Perfume

Men’s perfume is a great accessory that boosts confidence, self-esteem, and your perception among others. The above tips are designed to ensure that you choose an option that matches your needs, tastes, and budget when shopping for perfume. Once you determine when you will use the perfume, you can start to experiment with different smells before deciding on one to buy.

How to Wear Gold and Silver Jewelry Together

Reading Time: 6 minutes

Many people think you can only wear all-gold or all-silver jewelry. However, like mixing black and blue, wearing gold and silver jewelry at the same time has come into fashion. To create a perfect overall look, you need to strategically plan your jewelry with your clothing, hairstyle, and other accessories.

Whether you have a 14k gold chain you always wear and want to test out some new silver earrings or prefer to layer different metal chains, here are some tips to styling the perfect gold and silver look.

Wear Combined Pieces

One of the best ways to bring together an outfit featuring gold and silver jewelry is by including a combined piece. This could be a watch with a silver and gold braided bracelet or a woven necklace with both metals.  

Especially if you have a statement combined piece, the other mixed metal jewelry won’t look like you put on the wrong earrings. Both your gold and silver pieces will match the combined piece, tying the whole outfit together.

silver-and-gold-jewelry-guide

Start Small 

If you are just dipping your toe in the mixed metals trend, start with smaller pieces and subtle pops of bling before building up to statement styles. 

Choose thin, delicate rings in gold and silver or a dainty mixed metal chain necklace. Alternatively, rather than trying mixed metals for all your accessories, choose one piece to experiment with, such as a chunky combined chain link bracelet. 

 

Focus on Style, Not Color

Instead of choosing your jewelry based on metal or color, select them based on style. You wouldn’t want to combine a sleek evening tennis bracelet with a chunky iced-out gold necklace, even though the metals match.

If you’re heading to a Michelin-starred restaurant, choose understated, elegant pieces. Women may want to include a piece featuring gems or diamonds, while men might select larger statement pieces. For a night out on the town, go with chunky or quirky pieces that play with texture. 

It helps to pick out your clothing before choosing your jewelry. You want to ensure your jewelry choice complements your outfit and vice versa. For an evening that requires a gown and heels, consider the color of your gown, the shape of your neckline, and whether you want your jewelry to outshine the dress. A gold chain for men may not be very visible in a formal outfit beneath a tie, meaning you should focus on choosing a watch and ring to complement their suit or tux. 

Don’t Match Your Wedding Ring

Many people have jewelry they always wear, whether that’s gold wedding rings or a diamond engagement ring. If you never take your rings off, some people think they must always wear metals that match their rings. Luckily, that’s not the case. Although you may want to style your wedding day jewelry to complement your new rings, once you’ve worn them for a while you won’t even notice they’re there.

Feel free to choose your jewelry based on your outfit or your mood of the day rather than your wedding rings.

The same rule applies to hardware on your accessories, jackets, or clothing, such as zippers, buckles, or snaps. Unless the hardware is meant to be the centerpiece of the outfit, you don’t need to worry about matching your jewelry to the stainless steel snaps on your shirt. However, if you have a favorite statement belt buckle made of sterling silver and turquoise, you’ll want to consider it a piece of jewelry rather than hardware.

Be Consistent Through Your Outfit

Having a single piece of gold jewelry styled with several silver items may look messy or unintentional. Try to repeat both metals at least once more throughout your look to create a stylized and intentional outfit. For example, if you have a gold bracelet and a combined metal watch, you could pick some dangling silver earrings, a gold necklace, and a big silver ring. 

Men who want to mix metals could choose a silver watch, a combined necklace, a gold ring, and silver cufflinks. 

The goal when mixing jewelry should always be to have an even number of both metals represented. Having too many of one could make the look appear lopsided or unfinished. 

silver-gold-jewelry-tips

Layers Work

Just like with clothing, you can layer your necklaces. Try wearing a longer gold chain with a shorter silver chain layered over one or two chains of equal length, with one thinner than the other. Playing with thickness and texture can also help you bring out the idea of layers, creating even more contrast. 

You can also layer bracelets, especially if you have bangles. These come in various colors and metals, and you can mix and match them as you please. Having several gold and silver options on your wrist will look stylish and unique.

The stacking trick also works with thin rings. Stack two or three on one finger, alternating silver and gold. Try to use the same model of ring but in different metals, or at least find rings that fit together or look similar. Stacking them gives the impression that you have a single, textured ring with multiple metals.

Mix and Match Your Outfit

To add another level to your jewelry combinations, consider mixing colors and textures in your outfit as well. Try combining a dark blue shirt with brown pants or black jeans and tall brown riding boots. Women could layer a jean jacket, with its rougher texture, over a smooth silk shirt to give an outfit more dimension. 

However, try not to make the outfit too busy. Polka dots and plaid clash too much, as do certain shades of purple or red. 

Experiment and Have Fun

If you’ve got pieces you never wear because you usually wear all-gold or all-silver jewelry, it’s time to bring them out. For those who want to indulge in a new piece, you can purchase a new combined metal watch or necklace to start your collection. 

Not every combination of jewelry will work, but some might surprise you. Try them with different outfits, accessories, and jackets to see what you like. 

If you’re still not sure after modeling for yourself, test out your new style by meeting some friends at a bar or going on a date night with your partner. They’ll love your new look, and you’ll gain confidence when mixing metals.

Whether it’s your first time or not to visit this super destination known for its thrilling winter and summer activities, here are several ways you can enjoy your luxurious trip to Whistler, BC: 

1. Look For An Ultimate Accommodation 

A great vacation starts and ends with an ultimate accommodation where you get to lay your tired mind and body after a fulfilling day of adventure and memories. As such, it’s only noteworthy to look for the best there is, such as luxury condo rentals. Rentals might be better if you yearn for exclusivity, premium comfort, and superb amenities.  

Luxe lodging is highly recommended if you want to stay within your comfort zone and definition of a luxurious trip. Whether vacationing with a special someone, the entire gang, or your close-knit family, the type of accommodation you choose can make or break your holiday. So, if you want to make the best out of your trip, be careful when choosing where to book your accommodation. Remember, you’re in for a luxurious stay and not something mediocre or so-so. 

You could look for condo rentals that offer large bedrooms with all the modern amenities you can think of. Of course, there needs to be a stunning view from any angle of the place, and every corner should speak of nothing but top-notch comfort and luxury. 

2. Be Sure To Bring Your Swoon-Worthy Outfits 

What’s another great thing to do when traveling aside from relaxing and spending time with your favourite people? Taking pictures, what else? Your photos would look more beautiful if you were wearing your swoon-worthy outfits that’ll keep heads turning in your every move.  

No matter what activities you plan to do for your vacation, pack wisely and stylishly. Shop for your other essentials before the travel date to ensure you won’t forget anything. From your high-end coats to chic sporting attires, be sure to plan your ensembles in a striking and trendy way. And oh, don’t forget your sparkling accessories, aka jewellery and purses. 

3. Do All The Activities You Can 

Whistler, BC isn’t only known as a luxurious destination. It’s also famous for premium activities you can do to make the most out of your stay.

To go all out on your luxurious ski experience, you can hire an exclusive tour guide to show you where you can find the best viewpoint and champagne powder to make your ski adventure even more one for the books. And since you’re already on a skiing escapade, consider trying other ski activities such as heli-skiing and cat-skiing. 

Another luxurious activity you can do is flightseeing—a whole new level of sightseeing from a different and higher perspective (literally.) You can book private flightseeing tours in Whistler, BC, that involve riding either a helicopter or a floatplane. After your fair share of stunning views and adrenaline-pumping experience, you could ask the pilot to drop you off the glacier to try snow biking, heli-hiking, or a sumptuous picnic on top of the snowy hills because, well, why not? 

4. Pamper Yourself For The Perfect Indulgence 

When your body’s already aching after all the tiring but fun activities you’ve done for the day, there’s undoubtedly no other better idea than to relax and pamper yourself in one of the luxurious spas in Whistler, BC. Imagine recharging under the Nordic waterfall or soaking in a rooftop hot tub as you marvel at the magnificent and calming view of the outdoor scenery. Indeed, no other luxurious trip can come close to such a pleasant experience. 

A complete spa package might also interest you if you’re the pampering type who loves the best things life has to offer. Such packages include several premier treatments and add-ons such as the Finnish sauna, a deep tissue massage, or hydrotherapy. 

A Trip To Luxuriously Remember

Life in Monaco measures up to all the superlatives, so it’s no wonder the world’s wealthiest call it home. Millionaires make up more than 30 percent of the population, and the Principality has the highest standard of living in the world.

Here are some of the reasons why living in Monaco is so appealing.

Luxury property

Life-in-Monaco-living-in-monaco

Exclusive addresses include the world’s most expensive street, Avenue Princesse Grace in Larvotto, the Principality’s easternmost ward. Monaco continues to be the most expensive place to buy residential property worldwide, with an average price per square meter of more than 47,000 Euros, according to the Monegasque Real Estate Observatory report. Living in Monaco in a luxury residence brings with it all the features one would expect, from stunning penthouses to spectacular spas, enhanced security and the utmost in privacy.

Private travel

Life-in-Monaco-private-yachts

 Though the small Principality does not have an airfield, private jets can land at either Cannes Mandelieu or Nice Côte d’Azur airports, where a chartered helicopter can whisk you to Monaco’s heliport in Fontvieille.

Cruising the coast of the French Riviera is a favourite pastime, and many UHNW individuals choose to moor their superyachts at the exclusive Yacht Club of Monaco. The renowned marina in Port Hercules is one of the few deepwater ports on the French Riviera. Its 700 berths can accommodate the largest superyachts in the world.  A new state-of-the-art marina in Ventimiglia, Italy, 79 nautical miles from Port Hercules, provides easy access to Monaco for smaller yachts.

Proximity along scenic roads to the luxury locales of Cannes, Saint-Tropez and Saint Jean Cap Ferrat, as well as the Italian Riviera, is just another reason why living in Monaco is so appealing.

Lavish events

Prestigious events are also among the highlights of life in Monaco. Every September, the Principality hosts the Monaco Yacht Show, billed as the world’s greatest superyacht event. The not-to-be-missed Monaco Grand Prix and ePrix are held in late spring, and March brings the elegant Rose Ball, established by Princess Grace in 1954, to open the international events season. Among the cultural highlights is the acclaimed Monte Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra, founded in 1856, featuring some of the world’s greatest musicians.

With more than a half-dozen Michelin-star restaurants, including the exceptional three-star Le Louis XVI-Alain Ducasse at the iconic Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo, Monaco is known for its fine-dining options. The Principality is also home to the first organic restaurant to be awarded a Michelin star: Elsa at the Monte-Carlo Beach Hotel.

Designer shopping

Fancy a luxurious trip to a popular destination? Well, who doesn’t? But one thing that stops so many people from fulfilling their dreams is the expense that comes with travelling. Recently a cost-effective travel option has become quite common among people and that is medical tourism. People travel to other countries for getting medical procedures done and this way they get to explore around as well. Procedures like dental treatments, facelifts, nose jobs, and hair transplants in Turkey are quite popular among people around the world. 

WHY MEDICAL TOURISM HAS BECOME POPULAR? 

Medical tourism is mostly about beauty-enhancing procedures like face lifting, hip reshaping, breast enlargement, or a nose job. Often people travel across the globe to get these procedures. There are multiple reasons why people prefer to get these procedures done in other countries instead of their home country. Here we have managed to enlist a few: 

Cost-Effective: One of the top reasons why people prefer to go to Turkey for beauty-enhancing surgeries is that these procedures become quite cost-effective in these countries despite providing quality services. For example, the cost of a hair transplant in the UK can go up to £30,000 whereas the same procedure can cost around £1500 in Turkey, which is a considerable difference. 

Top-Quality & Easy Availability: The procedures done in the countries that are known for the procedures are of top-quality always. Moreover, you get an available slot easily for which in the UK you will have to wait for weeks or sometimes months. 

New Treatments: As compared to the UK, you will be able to get new treatments done in Turkey easily. Few specific procedures are not allowed in some countries, so people have to travel to other countries to get those done. 

WHY COSMETIC PROCEDURES ARE CHEAPER IN TURKEY?

The cost of cosmetic procedures like hair transplants is way cheaper than the European counterparts and the USA. Despite providing top-notch services, have you ever wondered why these procedures are cheaper in Turkey? Here have a look: 

Cheap Living: The overall living cost in Turkey is way cheaper as compared to other countries. This is also one of the key factors why Turkey is a famous tourist destination around the world. From accommodation to food to medical procedures, everything fits in the pocket easily. 

Easier Lease: The cost of medical spaces in Turkey is way cheaper as compared to the UK and other countries in addition to the easy lease options. This automatically cuts down the cost of the procedures. 

Affordable Labour Cost: In Turkey, the overall labour costs are lesser as compared to the other countries. Moreover, the government imposes strict medical controls according to which the hair clinics can hire the staff members at 20% cost which is very less than those in Europe. This has a direct effect on the drop in prices of medical procedures.

FINAL VERDICT

Turn your trip into a 2 in 1 opportunity by getting a hair transplant in Turkey at affordable rates. You get to enjoy the rich cultural heritage along with the high-quality medical procedures.

Since 2005, Mugler brought a new bright light into the world by launching Alien Eau de Parfum. Sixteen years later, the Alien story is more than never alive, and today, the French luxury house is launching Alien Goddess. More than a fragrance, it is a true manifesto about new femininity. A new era awaits you.

Alien Goddess, The Promise Of A New Hope

If you ask Mugler how they would describe Alien Goddess, this is what they would say: At a time when people seek light in the darkness, a solar goddess is paving the way to a miraculous but true destiny. 
In perfect harmony with body and soul, she is ready to magnify the world around her with glory, generosity and benevolence. 

We can see that the world is for sure upside-down. The more life becomes harder; there is one thing that unites us and gets us through the rudeness of darkness: hope. Alien delivers the precise message by shining a new light showing the direction you should take, like a personal guide. More than never, all the standards vanish and leave the room to a new world, not the one we inherited but the one we are crafting with our hands.

The mystic flower will re-energize the empty world and provide a new light that will warm your heart and give you the hope of better days. The Mugler Alien story has been truthful to the same positive message about an extraordinary woman, half guide, half goddess.

An Universal Call To All Women

Alien Goddess is a true universal call to women. She creates the extraordinary and makes you believe in the miracles you can see each day, just by letting positiveness enter your world. It is also a manifesto of self-acceptance. Alien Goddess brings you the powerful message that says that there are no standards. You can actually create your own references and benchmarks. This strong message allows Mugler to also talk to a new generation of fragrance lovers, Generation Z.

Willow Smith, the daughter of Will Smith and Jadae Pinkett Smith, who is a singer and actress, has been chosen to embody a new vision of femininity that is at once strong, powerful, inclusive and “edgy”. She has free herself from barriers and decides her own destiny by following her dreams and intuitions. When you ask her what does she think about this project, this is what she told L’Officiel:

“To me, Alien Goddess is a manifesto. It urges us to be wholly ourselves, to brandish what makes us unique with pride. Beyond that, this new dazzling creation gives us the strength to find the best within ourselves, whoever we are, in order to accomplish extraordinary things with a positive impact on the world and those around us. It’s a powerful message of kindness, hope, and joy”.

Willow Smith – L’Officiel

Alien Goddess – The Fragrance Description

What makes me love Mugler is the uncompromising approach of perfumery the brand has. Creation primes over commercial and daring will always be part of the olfactory brief. , Mastering unmastered ingredients. Daring paradoxical combinations and, above all, taking the risk not to please everyone, and that’s fine: Who wants to smell like anyone else, right?! We also tend to say that not all perfumers can work for Mugler as generally, you will need to battle with olfactory titans.

Alien Goddess is by far the most interesting fragrance in 2021 so far. For once, you do not get sun-kissed skin; you are offered a true solar embrace! This floral oriental woody creation leaves behind a trail facetted by the most glorious ingredients in the perfumer’s palette that will mesmerize your senses.

The new fragrance starts its olfactory journey with a beautiful and bright Italian Bergamot. It crosses the entire olfactory structure of the fragrance, bringing a soft but intense light. At the same time, elegance is a state of art. This journey pursuits into a solar heart of white flowers, especially thanks to the Superinfusion of Indian Jasmine Grandiflorum. This method is well-known within the L’Oreal Group, allows a more facetted extraction of the flower, which multiplies the olfactory possibilities in a fragrance structure. The Superinfusion process gives the Jasmine petals a modern facet, both fruity and petal-like, as well as a creamy texture. 

Alien Goddess finishes this dazzling olfactory journey into a soft yet intense aura of pure energy thanks to a premium infusion of Vanilla bourbon. This consciously-sourced premium extract is obtained through an extraction technology allowing to seize the complete organoleptic profile at the heart of the raw material. Unveiling a delicious Vanilla note with balsamic tonalities, it will delight your senses with deep mysterious warm vibrations.

The new fragrance is a creation with four hands and two brilliant minds. The dynamic duo from Firmenich is Nathalie Lorson and Marie Salamagne. Nathalie is the experience and the complete mastery of powerful ingredients that only a few perfumers can control. Marie sees her creations as paintings; the ingredients used would create contrasts.

The Flacon, A Powerful Talisman

From its inception back in 2005, Alien has developed a unique and extraordinary collection of flacons-talismans. Their design is edgy yet elegant, powerful yet feminine, and these flacons represent the perfect receptacle for such an outstanding fragrance.

On the outside, a new intriguing gold talisman bottle, both organic and dreamy, with exquisite shaded golden lacquering suggesting daybreak. Inside and out, this bottle gleams with all of its radiance. It has a beautiful aroma that envelops you and radiates indefinitely.

The Alien Goddess bottle retains the shape of the original Alien fragrance, launched in 2005 but a golden colour. The fragrance is available as 30, 60 and 90 ml Eau de Parfum. MUGLER is committed to a more responsible luxury by offering unique bottles, refillable thanks to the Refill Bottle.

Willow Smith And The AudioVisual campaign

The Red Table Talk singer has been chosen as the new muse for the company due to her enthusiasm for art, fashion, and social concerns, as seen by her current cosmic punk track “Transparent Soul.” The campaign was directed by Emmanuel Adjei and photographed by Txema Yeste.

“What has impressed us when meeting Willow is her openness, determination, confidence, and her desire to move the world. She is definitely a role model for the young generation and the perfect embodiment of what is Mugler today”
