How To Be Better Than Average & How To Look Better Than Average

The term average differs from eye to eye. Average is beautiful, however at this moment we are specifically looking how to stand apart from the others. If we want to look “a little more something” or “a little extra” and want to improve ourselves, this is a perky guide that may perhaps have a few key takeaways which can help improve your life..even in the slightest bit.

Thus being said, I always appreciate every piece of advice but none of this advice needs to be taken of course. Use these tips at your pleasure or just have some delight in browsing through them.

It’s important to have an image of the woman you want to become. It is equally imperative that you love yourself as you are in this moment prior to beginning your self-improvement. Thinking to oneself “Oh, I’ll be happy when I look like this or when I get that” is detrimental and ruins the journey of becoming better.

Literally. Envision that woman you are becoming. We are all lovely the way we are – there is always someone who seems to think so. There is however nothing wrong in having a desire to improve ourselves.

Check my article on striking features. This will help further complete you’re desire to look better than average.

So, how do you stand out, look and be better than average? Let’s begin looking into becoming a better version of ourselves… Tip Number 3 , Tip Number 4 , & Tip Number 11, are my personal favorites.

1. Be & Look Put Together In All Aspects

In learning how to be better than average, it is important to start with organization. Being put together and looking put together, in all aspect is a fantastic start.

In all aspects means in every compartment of life – Be and look put together. (Or at least make some effort to do so)

Some compartments may include but are not limited to;

Clothing / Car / Home / Manners & Mannerisms / Work / Office

This means having clean, pressed or steamed clothing, free of lint or wrinkles. It makes you look well put together, not like you just threw on clothes that you were too lazy to fold 😉

Wearing the proper undergarments such as a nude bra and seamless panties that wont show or bunch up can also say “I took some time to look well put together.”

Having a clean car, organized inside, well taken care of. This shows quite a bit of our personality. When someone comes into your car, you should feel proud that it is clean & well cared for. It’s a tip often overlooked but it is super impressive to have this maintained regardless of what make & model your car is and how much it costs.

Equally important is the care and maintenance of your home. When someone walks into your home or room they should think, “Wow, this person really has it all together.”

This doesn’t mean have an empty bedroom with no personality or decor, it simply means “everything in here has it’s own home.” Put everything away in its own home before having company 😉 .

When working on different categories to upgrade in your life, start small and with one. If you want to start wearing nicer undergarments and building a lingerie collection, make space for the new arrivals and have a drawer or a nice space where you can keep them neatly folded like a fancy lingerie store.

To elaborate a little more on this point, specifically with fashion, read on to the next tip..

2. Have A Good Selection of Complimentary Clothing

Up-leveling your wardrobe to compliment you as a whole drastically changes your entire appearance and in turn, your confidence.

SPECIAL TIP:
After you have some good basics in your closet, start with a well organized | clean closet where you feel good getting ready in.

If your closet is small like I personally had to deal with, having your things neatly stacked and put away in pretty boxes or baskets gave a little bit of that luxe department store feeling.

A full length mirror somewhere in your home is super important to know just how pretty you look after all your effort of getting ready in the morning. Also keeps you from leaving a piece of fuzz on your behind 😉

Tailored or Fitted Clothing
Make sure it fits you well. Doesn’t have to be tight, it just has to lay on your body the right way. Pull up style pictures you love of ladies that have a similar shape and look for those pieces to add to your wardrobe. Try on many different items, you never know what could look fantastic. I’ve been surprised many times.

Wear Colors That Compliment Your Skin & Hair
“WHAT SEASON AM I?” If you look this phrase up on the internet, it could help you determine colors and shades that compliment your skin tone and hair color and can make you look more fresh and of course, more put together.

When you have these good basics that compliment you and that compliment one another, getting ready in the morning is much more enjoyable and costs less of your time.

3. A Flushed & Flirtatious Look: Emulate The Fertile Female

This is an extra special tip and a favorite of mine. Sounds a tad silly, however, a dressed up face (when done correctly) stands out from a crowd of lovely bare faced individuals.

Adding a little bit of that “flushed” look, rosy, blushy cheeks or reddish lips (studies on the color red) can signify sexuality, but not in brash way, in a more naturally sexy way. I’ll remain demure, but when we do engage in sexual activity, our cheeks and lips flush with a brighter color. We look glow-y, rosy and fresher.

This also signifies health and femininity – a more nubile, fertile female-which the male psyche is naturally attracted to.

Pinch your cheeks or dab on a touch of blush that compliments your skin tone. Use two different colors creatively such as a peachy one in a circular motion on the apples of your cheeks and a more pinkish rosy colored one to contour a bit.

A Flushed & Flirtatious Look: Part II

Master the art of natural yet strategic makeup. Keep it flirty and you’ll be the star of the show, baby.

Strategic Enhancement With Makeup : Natural But Emphasized

We have heard it before but it’s pretty true – Highlight your best features.

If & when applying false lashes for example, try to use individuals or less full ones to keep it more natural.

If you do a full set of lashes, keep the eyes and lips minimalistic unless you are going for the sixties look which I actually have always been fascinated by.

Again, keep in mind these tips are designed to be helpful and fun.

4. Be Impressive With Knowledge Or Certain Skills

To Have a hobby you know interesting facts about.

Read books or watch documentaries that are of interest to you. When conversing with people, like minded individuals, or even when on a date, you will have interesting input and may fascinate others.

If none of these apply, start picking up on some impressive vocabulary or phrases. As long as it seems authentic to you, its an authentic upgrade of yourself.

5. Being Organized & Well Prepared

Level Up Your Looks — **Dress The Part. But Also BE THE PART**

Quite the understated tip. I wont get too far into detail with this tip but small things like being on time, remembering important dates, paying things on time, having an idea of how to use your time daily really aren’t so small when you think about them.

Working in an office, I was always impressed by the people who had a calendar, knew what their week looked like in advance and always paid their bills on time. Emails were clear, their phones were organized, their life didn’t seem to be in disarray and if it was.. they really knew how to keep composure.

When you are organized,
you are more responsible
and more of your time is used wisely
to help you get ahead in your life.

Other Ideas For Being Well Prepared & Organized

Always having a stocked kitchen for when a guest comes, knowing how to quickly whip up an easy recipe to serve. Even just having something simple like fresh brewed tea to offer.

Your purse has essentials for whatever you may run into, (Bandaids, Mints, Small Lint Roller, Cash on Hand)
Extra Tip: Looking good at all times, for you never know who you may meet.

6. Have Tip Top Grooming Habits

Don’t mistake this point for perfection. It’s more of an emphasis on looking clean and put together.

Nails should be clean (especially underneath) and healthy looking. Personally I avoid very long nails & acrylic as they can look too un-natural and unattractive. This may sound repetitive but neutral colors look refined and elegant. They also go with every outfit. Although Red is always dazzling.

Hair should be fresh. It doesn’t need to be a blowout style. You can have a sexy bedhead look similar to french women, just make sure it’s clean and looks cared for.

Skin is our largest organ. We should always maintain its beauty for it does so much for us in protecting our body. Making sure to hydrate our skin with good cream or lotion is essential. The skin on our face could speak for us. This literally is a canvas as they say. The better looking canvas we have, the less we feel the need to cover (ie. caking on foundation)

For years I thought I had needed elaborate regimen to get rid of scaring, acne, and uneven texture. Finding the simple products that worked with my skin created that healthy look and confident freedom.

7. Recognize That All Little Details Matter

DETAILS. DETAILS. AND DETAILS.
We can often overlook the little details that can speak volumes.

I always underestimated chipped nail polish for example. The importance of presentable hands didn’t strike me until I had noticed it on another person, a bank teller. I wasn’t trying to be judgmental, the woman was nice and we always had a great encounter each visit I had made. I just thought to myself in that moment, “Hmm, this seems a little unprofessional.”

It was a tiny detail that changed the experience at the bank. This sounds so silly, but from then on I always thought of that woman as the woman with the chipped nail polish. It just seemed a little careless. My mind would just think of it. It wasn’t in a malicious manner. It just was what it was.

Since then, I at least try to keep my nails evenly filed, not bitten, and painted with a milky or clear coat of nail polish to make them more attractive.

Picking up after yourself weather you’re a guest at someones home, or in a public setting. Leaving a mess behind can simply make others think you live in a messy uncared for home as well.

Take care of your personal items. Keep them clean. Keep your shoes neat. Details baby 😉

Extra Tip: Small additions in your car that add personality or on clothing that add personality and practicality. These are little details that make you different and add some flavour.

8. Work On Your Pretty Posture

Posture has a lot to say.
Body language in general speaks on your behalf.

To practice better posture, you can do what I did as a child.

I would walk around with a book or two on my head and balance it.
Specific yoga poses when done correctly and yoga in general really teach the muscles to hold your spine up properly. Gentle yoga poses approved by your doctor can help.

Slouching can signify uncertainty and lack of confidence. This is just how many people perceive this form of body language. With a nice posture, you look more aware, certain, present, positive and your clothing can look more proper and fitted on you. The health benefits of having a good posture alone should be enough to entice someone to work on theirs.

A friend of mine had scoliosis as a child and still has a curvature which causes her to slouch forward some as she stands. Despite having this, she truly does try to work on her posture. There is a definitive difference in her appearance and entire presence when she’s actually trying to stand up straight. Needless to see it’s a complete difference visually but it’s also apparent in the way she acts – far more assertive and sure of herself.

9. Jewelry & Accessories : The Sparkling Additions

Jewelry and interesting or pretty accessories can dazzle. They can act as a distraction. And they can tell a story.

A wrist full of bangles from another country can intrigue anyone and add personality without you saying a word. Even the slight noises they make add a little drama & charm to your presence.

Jewelry and interesting or pretty accessories can dazzle. They can act as a distraction. And they can tell a story.
