This week I am beginning an alternative grooming series as part of styling for men and women. The first is a couple groooming shortcuts for you busy folks out there.
Don't think you need help in this arena?
Common now.....Women! Think about all the guys who you've turned down because of yellow teeth! [Hey- don't laugh, cause you and I both know its true!] Men! Think about all the girls you never approached because their dress was static-clingy down her butt to her legs when she walked toward you.
Maybe you have a busy schedule and frankly if there are wrinkles in the clothes, you give the excuse, "its the distressed look." Let's be real.
Today's tip is about your shoes.
Problem: UNpolished shoes. There is a serious problem here. Mostly for the guys (sorry guys). Women can take one glance and look at everything you are wearing, not wearing and could give you a run down why they wont give you the time of day. My mom says if I guy has scruffy shoes, he's not worth dating. If he doesnt have two minutes to shine, do you think he'll take two minutes to pick up flowers for you?
Dang. Why does she have to be so right?
Solution: Polish Your Shoes!
Shortcut: Try being creative with your lunch and use a Banana Peel as a shoe shine. Rub your shoes with the inside of the peel in small circular motions. Allow it to set for 30 sec, then buff them with a clean cloth or paper towel. Reapply if needed. What's the secret? Bananas and other fruits and vegetables have essentials oils. Great for that perfect shine!
Good Part: It works on every shoes from leather to vinyl. The greener the banana, the better.
Bad Part: If you wear run down canvas shoes? Sorry - I can only wish you good luck.
