Tips on self awareness for Zoom conversations

Today I want to share tips for practicing self awareness on Zoom conversations.  First impressions are an extension of your well being, your personality and how you choose to present yourself to the world!  Clothing, accessories, makeup and the right lighting are a small list of things that will make a difference.

Let’s face it, if you are meeting someone for the first time how you look is important, or if you are continuing a relationship either professional or personal it is powerful to look vibrant and present.  In today’s world of Zoom conversations it is important to be aware of these short tips that can make a  difference.

Having that perfect neckline that frames your face is an easy way to gain the right attention.  Add a piece of jewelry or maybe layer more than one to show off your creativity.    You will be suprised what  small tips can do for your image.

Here is a mesh tunic that has an interesting neckline for zoom conversations.  With or without jewelry it makes a soft impact on camera.

Image Consultant Advice

Speaking about image, I have consulted with an image consultant in Denver who is also offering her advice.  Tips on self awareness on Zoom is important for makeup and lighting as well.

Rhoda Johnson from Rhoda Design Group, is a creative visionary/Image Brand Strategist.  Here are some quotes about makeup and lighting for your continous Zoom conversations.

Makeup Tips:
1) Make self care a priority to radiate health; looking exhausted and stressed does not serve you
2) Mix BB cream and foundation for a soft coverage to eliminate shadows and uneven skin-tone
3) Use subtle washes of color on eyes, cheeks and lips that harmonize with your coloring
Lighting Tips:
1) Place the ring light facing you
2) Position yourself in the center of the camera frame and not too close
3) Eliminate the visual distractions behind you

Thank you Rhoda for your easy advice

Fashion and Relevancy

Fashion and relevancy during the pandemic is self healing.  Even in times of chaos, dressing can give us joy. Afterall isn’t that one reason to dress up? As a fashion designer this quote from VOGUE resonates with me……

“We need to give hope, we need to show beauty, and people still want that still. We need still to believe that a human being can create with their hands, with their own feelings, and heart, and imagination.” That’s the thing about couture, its magic is handmade.”…..Anh Duong

Yes we will dress up again, or maybe you already are dressing up for yourself and or your loved ones?

I believe that taking care of yourself especially during times of crisis is self healing.

We dress up for ourselves, our loved ones and just to feel better.  I know for myself if I take extra time to look good it makes me feel better.
What kinds of things do you do to make you feel better?  Some things that come to mind are relaxing baths, favorite fragrances, experimenting with hair and makeup and wearing comfortable, chic clothing.
Linda G. Levy, President of The Fragrance Foundation quotes  “Fragrance is directly linked to wellness and self-healing. As scent is the #1 sense linked to how the brain processes memories and emotions, fragrance has a very special way of contributing to your sense of comfort and serenity.
Fragrances can instantly transport you back to a time, place, or person – bringing a sense of happiness, comfort and relaxation to your day. Also, fragrances can help you feel energized or grounded. Different ingredients have different wellness and healing properties & add the finishing touch to your self care as well as your beauty regime
In terms of fashion, I think wearing a fragrance is an extension of fashion and your self-expression – your most powerful, invisible accessory.”

Chic clothing for well being.

My clothing can be described as Artisan designed playful sophisticated clothing  so that ageless women can look and feel comfortably chic.  At home or otherwise.  Here is our basic white shirt with a fun mask as seen in Malvie Magazine, June 2020.

Now is the perfect time to spend extra time for self care.  When the pandemic is over you might even find yourself adding more self care to your daily routine.  Out of the pandemic there will be positive things, can’t wait to get to that point!
