Getting dressed for work during the summer can be tricky. While it's scorching outdoors, offices tend to be kept at a cool 67 degrees thanks to chilly air conditioning. Don't let the new warmer weather spark a 9-to-5 wardrobe crisis. This year, try out the following three work-appropriate outfits that are sure to suit your outdoor and indoor needs, keeping you comfortable and stylish, thanks to one key on-trend piece in each.


Outfit #1
Key Piece: Pleated Skirt


Shop this outfit!

We're obsessed with pleats this season! Just one benefit of an on-trend pleated skirt is that it allows plenty of air flow to keep you cool when you're outside. And when you're working indoors, its knee-length hem is perfectly appropriate and super chic! Keep a bright-colored cardigan at your desk to throw on when you get chilly and you're good to go! If your office dress code allows for open-toed shoes, slip into a pair of neutral pumps to pull your look together!

Use your mental muscle to win the battle of the bulge. When that bag of cookies or kettle corn is calling your name, it may seem harder to resist than Justin Bieber -- if you're 15, that is. If not, next time you're tempted to snack on some sublime high-calorie mix of salt, sugar, and fat, try these mind-over-matter tricks. They'll give you the power to say, "No way."

1. Remember what you had for lunch. Exactly what you had. Don't just say, "Oh, I got a sandwich." Reconstruct every detail, down to the "extra mayo."When people are asked to describe the most recent meal they had, they eat less of a munchy snack.
   
   Can't remember? Write it down. Here's what a food journal could do for you.
2. Eat a raisin. That's right, a single raisin. It's a savor-the-moment practice. Take a deep, relaxing breath, pick up the raisin, smell it. Put it in your mouth and roll it around on your tongue. Feel its wrinkles. Now slowly eat it. Note the chewy, gritty texture, the sweet taste.

What's the difference between good and great?

Why are some people able to create super successful lives, while most of their peers hover near the mediocre middle?

As someone who's spent a lifetime studying human behavior, I can tell you, success isn't just about your level of education or your skills. It's about the mindset that you bring to everything, particularly your interactions with others.

The superstars of life don't just behave differently; they think differently. To be clear, when I say superstar, I'm not just talking about monetary or career success. I'm talking about success as a human being.

Because whether you're trying to become a superstar parent or a superstar salesperson, the difference between success and failure always starts with mindset. Your own internal thought track sets the tone for all of your interactions.

Here are the five mindsets of life's superstars:

I've been the sports nutritionist for three professional teams and numerous athletes in my private practice, and whether you head to a 9-5 job each day and work out when you can, or you earn a living exercising, the right nutrition plan is the real key to results. Here are five mistakes that may interfere with getting the most out of your training time:

Drinking a Protein Shake Before a Workout
Protein is digested much slower than carbs, so too much pre-workout can give you stomach cramps and prevent the carbs you need for fuel from getting absorbed and becoming available to your working muscles.
The Fix: Reach for a smaller quantity of protein, along with slow burning carbs pre-workout, and choose higher protein shakes, snacks or meals afterwards.

Exercising on an Empty Stomach
It's physiologically impossible to burn pure body fat - during aerobic exercise you burn a combo of carbs and fat. When carbs aren't readily available, your body is forced to break down its own muscle mass

Chances are that when you think of coffee, you don't think "healthy." But it turns out that drinking coffee can do more than just perk you up in the morning. Coffee is one of the richest sources of healthful antioxidants in the average person's diet. It can help ward off a variety of diseases and conditions. Here are some of the ways in which coffee can help keep you healthy.

For one thing, coffee can lower your risk of Type 2 diabetes. A series of studies has shown that habitually drinking coffee leads to a substantially lower risk of the disease. It is not known exactly how, but one reason could be the high number of antioxidants that coffee contains, which aid in controlling the cell damage that can lead to the development of Type 2 diabetes.

Health Benefits of Green Tea

A recent study also found that drinking coffee is linked to a reduced risk of prostate cancer by up to 60 percent, depending on the amount of coffee consumed. Conducted at the Harvard School of Public Health,

If it seems like the only thing that ever changes about your job is the day of the week, it's time to ask your boss for "stretch assignments" to enhance your growth, says Jodi Glickman, president of a communication training firm and author of Great on the Job.
