Many people express themselves through the type of clothing they wear, while others do so through the kind of haircut they wear. Another way to express your individuality is through body piercing. Getting certain parts of your body pierced entails more responsibility, especially right after you get the piercing. This is especially true for some of the most sensitive areas where piercing is done, including the lips.

Taking care of a piercing is like taking care of a little wound that need to be given adequate time to heal. If you don't wanna turn you body piercing you should read the following tips

Know the risks before you have your body pierced…

• Bacterial infection (where you had the piercing)
• Excessive (a lot of) bleeding
• Allergic reactions (especially to certain kinds of jewelry)
• Damage to nerves (for example, you may lose feeling at the area that gets pierced)
• Keloids (thick scarring at the piercing site)
• Dental damage (swelling and infection of tongue, chipped and broken teeth, choking on loose jewelry)

How to clean your new piercing?

1. Wash your hands first with soap and water before touching or cleaning the pierced area. (Don't let anyone else touch the pierced area until it is healed.)
2. Remove any crusty material from the site and from the jewelry with warm water.
3. Gently wash the area around the piercing with antibacterial soap (liquid soap works the best).
4. Gently rinse off all of the soap and crusty discharge.
5. Gently dry the area with a paper towel or plain white napkin. (Bacteria can stay in cloth towels.)
6. Do steps 1-5 twice a day until the skin heals. (Over-washing or over-scrubbing can irritate the area.)
7. Do NOT use antibacterial ointments because they don't allow air to get to the area and they trap bacteria.

How to prevent infections after piercing

Preventing infections is really not hard. It shouldn't take a lot of your time to keep your piercing clean and the good news is, you won't have to worry about complications if you keep it clean.

• Do NOT use alcohol or Peroxide to clean the area. (Both products will dry out your skin.) Other strong solutions such as Betadine will discolor gold jewelry.
• Rinse the pierced skin after exercising since sweat may irritate the piercing.
• Keep the pierced area from coming in contact with other people's body fluids, such as saliva and sweat. (Do not have oral sexual contact for 4-6 weeks if you have a tongue, lip, or genital piercing).
• Keep things clean that come in contact with the body part that has been pierced. For example, keep your phone clean if you have an ear piercing, keep your glasses clean for ear and eyebrow piercings, cover your ear lobe with a tissue if you use hair spray, and try not to apply makeup close to piercing sites.
• Wear clean clothing with soft fabric for navel piercings. Avoid wearing jeans because the material can be irritating.
• Don't wear pantyhose, leotards, belts, or tight clothing while a navel piercing is healing.
• Wear loose fitting clothing with a navel piercing, to let the air help with healing.
• Check your jewelry many times during the day to see if any parts have become loose, especially if you have a tongue piercing. If a bar becomes loose, you can accidentally swallow it or damage a permanent tooth.
• Do NOT use a hot tub or swim in public pools until your piercing has healed.
• Rinse tongue or lip piercings after every meal or snack. Rinse for 30 to 60 seconds after eating with an antibacterial, alcohol-free mouthwash, or a warm salt water rinse. Or, alternately, make a mix with one part water, and one part hydrogen-peroxide, and apply it directly to the piercing site with a cotton swab. The bubbling peroxide can help remove food stuck in the site.
• Throw out your old toothbrush and get a new, soft-bristled toothbrush if you have a tongue or lip piercing. This is to avoid exposure to bacteria from your old toothbrush.
• See your dentist for regular checkups and if you think you have a problem. Studies have shown that people who have piercings in their mouth are much more likely to have injuries to their teeth and gums.
• Eat healthy foods. Foods rich in vitamins and minerals help your body heal.

With today's ever-changing fashion trends, it's hard to say what's acceptable and what's now a faux pas. Over time, the conventions of fashion have somewhat shifted. Remember when you couldn't wear white after Labour Day? Today, it's not only acceptable to bend the rules, it's incredibly chic. Here are five fashion taboos to break this season:

Old rule number one: You can't wear brown and black together
I never understood why this combination was considered off limits. This fall, brown and black are the coolest colour duo. It's a popular match for knitted ponchos and colour-blocked knee-high boots – the effect is surprisingly pleasing. Wear them in patterns or highlight a brighter item for visual interest.

Old rule number two: Metallic items are for night wear only
a little goes a long way when you're adding some shimmer to your outfit. One item is usually enough to make a statement. Now, a glittery tank beneath a cardigan or a sparkly brooch on a scarf is the perfect metallic hit for the office. Best of all, it will allow you to carry that same outfit over to your after-work date. Just remove the jacket for fresh look, or pin the brooch onto your belt loops for a stylish alternative

Old rule number three: You can't combine two different prints in one outfit
Mixing prints is no longer considered clown-like. In fact, it's one of the most fashionable statements you can make this season. The trick is to stay within the same colour family. If you're wearing a pink and brown striped shirt, try a graphic floral skirt in the same shades. Another trick is to mix up print sizes. If the blossoms on your skirt are bold, pair it with a daintily-flowered top. TIP: Two patterns are enough when it comes to mixing and matching.

Old rule number four: You have to match your bag to your shoes
with so many amazing accessories this fall (mock-croc leather bags in jewel tones, highly decorated heels, gold and silver clasps), how can we restrict ourselves to just one shade or style? To rebel against this age-old rule, experiment with the different items in your closet. Try pairing a brown handbag with red suede heels, for example, or pink shoes with a navy embroidered tote.

Old rule number five: Wearing more than two pieces of jewelry is over-the-top
Minimalism is over. Now is the time to wear more than one glittery ring with a pair of dangling earrings, multiple necklaces or a vintage brooch. Vintage styles have made a comeback – their opulence is perfect for the season. You can scour second-hand boutiques for that ideal retro find, or try stores such as Banana Republic, Le Château and Old Navy that now offer an extravagant selection.

Black and white are two colors that always look classic and make an outfit look pulled together.

But there are good and bad ways to achieve this look. Remember that other fashion rules still apply.

How NOT to Wear Black and White

The biggest fashions don't in black and white dressing is to wear black dress pants and a white button down shirt together. Not only is it very plain, it is the basic wardrobe or waitresses, hostesses, and bus boys everywhere. When going out for a nice dinner, you don't want to look like the help. Simply switch things up with white cigarette pants and a ruffled black blouse with a keyhole opening in back.

Another important thing to remember when dressing in black and white is that the rules of black being slimming and white adding width still applies. This can be used to your advantage if you wear a top that has more white on top if you are small chested and have narrow shoulders, and vice versa. A white and black dress should have a black belt at the waist as opposed to a white one. White shoes are fine if you are wearing white bottoms, even after Labor Day, but if breaking that out-dated rule makes you uncomfortable, opt for metallic shoes such as silver or gold. Black tights are a yes, but white tights should be left to little girls.

What's Black and White and Fabulous All Over?

If your black and white clothing is polka dots, make sure they are oversized. Small polka dots will date you. Any large graphic black-and-white print is popular, and you can kick it up a notch or tone it down a notch by what you pair with it. A lime green tank with a black and white floral skirt draws attention, while the same skirt with a black sweater calms the look down. Put the tank under the sweater and you are ready to go from work to a night on the town.

Black and white is generally a more pulled together look, but if you want to wear black and white dressed down, pair a black-and-white checked shirt with your favorite jeans. Or wear a black and white print t-shirt under a black jacket with white piping.

Black shoes are versatile and probably something you already own, but black shoes with white details pack more punch and help pull the outfit together. For your jewelry accessories, you can go all the way with black and white enamal bangles or cuffs. Otherwise choose to add a shot of color with multicolored strands of necklaces or add some shine with a mix of silver and gold.

Black and white is always in fashion, but use your good style sense to play it up, down, formal, or casual.
