Your Body's Most Flattering Shorts
Best for small women
If you're petite, you don't want to drown your body in baggy shorts. Mid-thigh-length, cuffed styles--such as a pair with a flirty detail like these bow-belt khakis in Nicole Babb's "after"--are especially cute.
Trend to avoid:
Too-long Bermudas. You can wear longish styles, but make sure they hit above the knee.
Best for pear shapes
A straight-cut Bermuda style like Crista Vaccarello's "after" instantly lengthens and slims the thighs. Go solid on bottom and printed on top to draw attention up.
Trend to avoid:
Bulky cargos with pockets that add width to your hips.
Best for plus sizes
Justina Lacroze's overly snug denim cutoffs were making her curvy body look bigger than it is. Instead, she opted for a knee-length pair of unfussy, pleat-free Bermudas. They're flattering and dressy--chic!
Trend to avoid:
Short shorts and pleated looks.
The Perfect Fit Checklist:
1) Have too-long shorts hemmed. It’s worth it!
2) Avoid bulging pockets.
3) Cuffs should not grip your thighs.
4) Are your cheeks covered? Sit down n the fitting room and make sute!

ETIQUETTE

That's the secret of entertaining. You make your guests feel welcome and at home. If you do that honestly, the rest takes care of itself.
One of the greatest victories you can gain over someone is to beat him at politeness.
To have respect for ourselves guides our morals; and to have a deference for others governs our manners.
Don't reserve your best behavior for special occasions. You can't have two sets of manners, two social codes - one for those you admire and want to impress, another for those whom you consider unimportant. You must be the same to all people.
Associate with well-mannered persons and your manners will improve. Run around with decent folk and your own decent instincts will be strengthened.
Politeness and consideration for others is like investing pennies and getting dollars back.
CHILDREN
Human beings are the only creatures that allow their children to come back home.
If you can give your son or daughter only one gift, let it be enthusiasm.
Facing a mirror you see merely your own countenance; facing your child you finally understand how everyone else has seen you.
The best way to keep children home is to make the home atmosphere pleasant--and let the air out of the tires.
Ask your child what he wants for dinner only if he's buying.
People who say they sleep like a baby usually don't have one.
If you want to see what children can do, you must stop giving them things.

BEAUTY

Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.
Develop interest in life as you see it; in people, things, literature, music - the world is so rich, simply throbbing with rich treasures, beautiful souls and interesting people. Forget yourself.
ATTITUDE
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
I am still determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances.
A strong positive mental attitude will create more miracles than any wonder drug.
The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes of mind.
It was a high counsel that I once heard given to a young person, "Always do what you are afraid to do."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Take calculated risks. That is quite different from being rash.
George S. Patton
If you do not hope, you will not find what is beyond your hopes.
St. Clement of Alexandra
We are all inventors, each sailing out on a voyage of discovery, guided each by a private chart, of which there is no duplicate. The world is all gates, all opportunities.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Seek the lofty by reading, hearing and seeing great work at some moment every day.
Thornton Wilder
The only way of finding the limits of the possible is by going beyond them into the impossible.
Arthur C. Clarke
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore,
is not an act but a habit.
Aristotle
Work spares us from three evils: boredom, vice, and need.
Voltaire
Experience is the child of thought, and thought is the child of action.
Benjamin Disraeli
You cannot plough a field by
turning it over in your mind.
Author Unknown
The best way out is always through.
Robert Frost
Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking.
William B. Sprague
Nothing will ever be attempted if all possible objections must first be overcome.
Samuel Johnson
Fortune favors the brave.
Publius Terence
He who hesitates is lost.
Proverb
Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall.
Confucius
Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.
Albert Einstein
Knowing is not enough; we must apply.
Willing is not enough; we must do.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We are still masters of our fate.
We are still captains of our souls.
Winston Churchill
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

If you can imagine it, you can achieve it; if you can dream it, you can become it.
William Arthur Ward
If you would create something,
you must be something.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Every artist was first an amateur.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
