Everyone secretly wishes to start their new school year as a fresh chapter of their school life, which also in a way means that they wish to revamp their previous fashion style and embrace something new. Are you also wanting to get a complete makeover before the first day at school but are confused where to begin from and how to reach your goal? If yes, then don't fret, here are five simple steps to having a major makeover during the summer. Introspect The first thing to do once you decide that you need a makeover is to understand what kind of makeover you are looking for. Do you wish to be more experimental with your clothes? Or do you want to gain more confidence and work on being content in your own skin? Once you have introspected, you can outline a plan for how you are going to achieve your goal during the summer. Clear your wardrobe The first thing to do if you have decided to change your fashion style is to dig through your wardrobe and discard the clothes that you are probably never going to wear again. While you are at it, you will get a good idea of what clothes you are comfortable wearing and what kind of clothes you would like to add to your wardrobe. You can either consider selling your old clothes or simply donate them to a charity. Go shopping Once you have cleared your wardrobe, buy some new pieces that you can wear stand alone or the ones that compliment your current wardrobe. Try to buy some trendy pieces and some items from the vintage boutiques, so that you can mix them together and enhance your style. If you can't afford to buy high-end brands, then find out a thrift shop in your locality and rummage through their collection. Create your own style You don't need to always buy new clothes to look different. Many times, just by adding some accessories and wearing a dress in a different way, you can make it seem like you have changed your dressing style. Don't shy away from mixing your clothing items and experimenting every single day. Reinvent yourself What many school-going girls and boys fail to understand is that getting a makeover is much more than changing your appearance. Instead of aiming for just looking different on your first day of school, you should have a holistic approach. Try to spend some time on yourself and master the art of being confident in yourself. Just keep in mind that summer is the best time to experiment and get the dramatic change that you always longed for. So, rediscover yourself and learn to be confident in your own skin.

There are a number of things that you can add to your diet chart in case you are on a weight loss spree. This may include low-fat cooking as well as a host of fresh and raw ingredients. Apart from salads, you can also have a fruit basket every day to fill yourself with much-required calories that will not add to your overall fat gain. Fruit is one such thing which is favored by most weight watchers because it helps in speeding up the metabolism due to the high level of dietary fibers that may be found in most fruits. In this regard, you can choose fruit baskets that will also have other ingredients to add taste and health to your platter. You can take your pick from a range of seasonal fruits which will also build immunity, boost strength and help lose weight as well. Here are a number of things that you can put into your healthy fruit baskets. Assorted fruit basket Create a colorful fruit set that are local, fresh and seasonal fruits. The ideal way to arrange a basket is by pairing fruits that one can have together. These pairings usually have to do with flavor and nutritional value. You can choose to put apples and oranges together, but you cannot combine apples with watermelon, since both have conflicting seasonal growth time. While you can choose watermelon with musk melon and papaya during the warm summer months, you should ideally let the fresh apples come in during the cooler months of the year. A fruit basket is primarily about the freshness, which comes from the seasonal fare. So, it would be a good weight loss idea to select those fruits that grow in that particular season. Honey & condiments Did you know that honey goes well with most fruit including apples and grapefruit? For your low-fat, weight loss-inducing state, you can choose these kinds of accompaniments to add taste to your fruit basket. You can add honey in place of sugar for seasoning, as well as other condiments like cinnamon powder to many kinds of fruit. Also, a little freshly squeezed lemon juice over papaya and grapefruit will give these fruits a much better flavor with plenty of punch. This will also help you in doing away with unnecessary calories. Dry fruit & seeds You can add dates, almonds, pistachios and much more to your fruit basket. This will add more texture, when it comes to taste. Also, adding raisins ensures that you always have a low-calorie snack when you are taking a break from all that fruit or salad eating. You can also add other seeds like pumpkin, watermelon and sunflower seeds to your fruit basket for a protein dose. This will keep you full and feeling satisfied so that you can avoid the needless cravings for junk food as well. Weight-loss bars & homemade jams Another thing that you can add to your basket is protein bars. This will make sure that you're not starving at any given point of the day. Also, homemade, seasonal fruit jams can be added as well.
