What to wear when traveling far, again. Travelling can be exciting, but the preparations can be very exasperating. And then there are those uncontrolled things in us called hormones, which regulate our fertility and the time our flow starts (and in the process these hormones often greatly influence our mood). To make a very long story very short, all this excitement might completely disturb your monthly rhythm, so don’t be surprised if unexpectedly your flow starts after only 14 days or so. So it is prudent to carry a few tampons or bandages or whatever you are using. Enjoy your trip

Heels are masterpieces….

During the early centuries, men of high society introduced the wearing of high heels to society and ever since, it has become a fashion statement all over the world. Heels are show stoppers. It protrudes this audacious energy that exudes elegance and style

These are types of high heel shoes, which differ in pattern and structures, i.e. a High Heel is a type of shoe which has a heel of normal height,

whereas a Stiletto has a higher heel as compared to other heel shoes, while a Pump is a shoe which covers the front toes. Shoes with long, thin heel usually of 1inch to 10 inches are known as stilettos. These shoes are known as court shoes in British English and Pumps in American English. Stilettos of 5cms and shorter are known as kitten heels.

Stilettos, like all similar high-heeled shoes, give the optical illusion of a longer, slimmer leg, a smaller foot, and overall greater height. They alter the wearer's posture and gait, flexing the calf muscles and making the bust and buttocks more prominent. Woman's walk is perceived as more attractive when she's wearing heels, due to the heels changing lumbar curvature, exaggerating the chest and hips, and increasing pelvic tilt

Heels are girls best friend and here’s how to rock them pain free all day. 

1. Buy the shoes that fit your feet. Shop wisely and always go shoe shopping at the end of the day. ...
2. Begin small and build up. Don't start with 10 cm stilettos if you have never walked in heels before. ...
3. Break in your heels. ...
4. Give your feet some rest. ...
5. Use insoles for more comfort.

Steve Job's sandals Steve Job founded Apple, and the iPhone, and some more, a lot more. He died too early of cancer (56) but the Apple brand is still doing very well, though competitors are constantly snapping at its heals. Recently his worn out sandals were sold for USD 218,000, or GHC 3 million. Talking about the power of a brand. Or maybe this one: You should quickly take money from fools before they spend it wrongly. When the sandals were first auctioned they only fetched 3400 $. Meanwhile the sandals have been doing exhibitions worldwide. so, conclusion, dont only think of investing in art, chale wotes might be the new trend. 218,000 US Dollar Bidding opens now

Joules goes to the cleaners. Despite the mega billion buy outs left and right, not everybody is doing well in fashion world, and British fashion brand Joules (1600 employees and 52 stores) seems to be on the way out, with no buyers in sight. The company originally sold typical dull British middle class country side stuff, including rubber boots (wellies), but then hit the spotlight when it started selling pink rubber boots, and from there on it was all the way up with colourfull outdoor stuff, from 4 million Pounds sales to 50 million in no time. They sold lots of things on country fairs, shows where you can see horses and old tractors and organic food and homemade cakes and these fairs also directed customers to their High Street stores. Then Covid came, so no country fairs, and supply problems from China, and a bit of an overstretched cashflow, and boom. Sometimes small is beautiful. Gimpa Business School readers, study this one, it is not in the book.
