We are all used to shorts, tee shirts and dark glasses for men and women during summer. Does anybody know what new fashion to look for this summer? I am talking about fashion for men and women. It seems to me there are not many new ideas out there. Let me know if I am wrong. That is our aim at this Fashion Forum. It is an opportunity for people to express their thoughts and ideas.

She stood out because of what she was wearing. Unlike many of the other women, she was wearing these beautiful African prints with shorts and sandals. She had on her shoulder a beautiful bag also made from Africa prints. She was elegant in the true sense of the word. I thought it was important to share this with the Fashion Forum because there is a multi-cultural dimension to how people are experiencing summer. With ideas coming from many parts of the world, it is expected that we would be seeing more expression of multicultural ideas everywhere we go. It is my hope that at this fashion forum, we will be able to express our thoughts about new fashion influences and how they are informing our sense of style. Share your thoughts and idea. Let us know what you are seeing out there. You can also talk about your own sense of style. Thanks all for sharing.
If you know that the food you are eating is having adverse consequences on your life, just stop it.

Once, I asked a woman who was eating a big bowl of fries if she was trying to commit suicide. She looked at me crazy and said " whatever," before walking away. Her response shows people's attitude when you talk about what they eat or discuss eating healthy. Many people just don't care or care enough to change their eating habits. So, they just gulp down whatever they can get. I don't blame people who do this. Some of the food are so good that they are irresistible. Changing our eating habits takes a lot of work and discipline. Yes, and strength. If you know that the food you are eating is having adverse consequences on your life, just stop it. Perhaps you should gradually reduce your intake until you are comfortable doing away with the food.
FOOD: Taking Things Too Far
Some people, however, take things too far. In the effort to eat right, they go after foods that do not provide enough supplements for their body. They eat too many veggies, drink too much water, and run themselves to death. Crazy, eh? And that smoothie thing? OMG! It kills me when all people want to put in their body is the smoothie. Of course, I drink smoothies as well. However, I do not let it dictate my life. I eat a little bit of this and a little bit of that to maintain a balanced diet. Wish everyone would do the same. It is a fact that bad eating habits can damage our health. Obesity, diabetes, and many other illnesses have been attributed to our eating habits and lifestyle. We can do better. What do you think?

From Black and white photography to digital photography and portrait photography, there is a lot to talk about. Perhaps, the best way to start is to look at some the debates between the iPhone 7 Plus and GalaxyS8 camera. While some people prefer the iPhone camera, there are many young people and older generation loves the new Galaxy phone camera. Since I do not have any of these phones, I will let others tell me what they think, What do you think about these phones if you have one them. There is a general consensus that both phones have amazing camera. On one hand, there are people who praise the iPhone for its image capturing ability. On the other hand, however, some people will swear that GalaxyS8 is far better. In some ways, I am inclined to think so. I was at a party recently and everyone wanted to use my friend's GalaxyS8 phone even though the haveiPhone 7 Plus. It was annoying that my friend became such a superstar. My only question was, " should I get the GalaxyS8 phone?" She laughed " join the club," she said.
