How To Look Sexy

Are you tired of looking plain or your man is looking at other chicks while with you? Every woman goes through phases of "ugly," and oddly enough some never come out of them. If you're ready to revamp your look and turn heads, keep reading. No matter what your body shape, you can become sexier today. Here's how...

Clean up your acts. Bathe at least once a day. Feeling and looking clean is crucial. Wash with a nice smelling body soap three times with a bathing sponge and it will smell great. Get out and pat yourself dry with a towel, and rub in some rich body lotion. You need to be soft and able to cuddle at all times (do not neglect your hands, elbows, and feet). If possible try to layer matching scents on your body, such as soap, lotion, powder, and perfume. For example if you bathe with a citrus smelling body soap, try to wear a citrus-smelling lotion also.

Practice good dental hygiene as well, this includes brushing, flossing and even mouth wash. Get a check up and have your teeth cleaned often. Invest in a good toothbrush, waterpick, and mouthwash. Always keep mints or breath spray on hand.

Get groomed. Work with what you've got. But keep it neat and tidy! Trim finger and toe nails weekly, remembering to clean under the nail. No fancy nail polish colours are needed, but a simple beige colour can play down any nail discolouration. If you choose to sculpt your eyebrows, get them waxed at a professional place -if you choose to pluck try to stencil the desired shape (using a stencil kit *BE REALISTIC!*)that will help avoid over plucking- it's not really attractive.Once every 2 or 3 weeks, have a pampering day, including a manicure, pedicure, facial, and bubble bath, even if it's just a spa day at home.

Style your hair. Make a trip to the hair salon. A new cut or style will make you feel sexy and confident. Having a change of hair colour is nice, too. Go for something natural and not too dramatic. Deep condition your hair at least once a month. In the mornings, flat iron your hair or put it in a messy bun, depending on your style. Adding extensions or a wig can radically change an everyday look from "ho-hum" to "wow" to turn a few heads. Studies show that most men are more attracted to longer hair - this is because longer, glossier hair is associated with health; if you get ill, the first thing the body stops maintaining is your hair in order to concentrate on sustaining more vital areas. And since in terms of evolution, it makes more sense for a guy to be attracted to a healthy girl, it's become natural to be attracted to hair that looks more healthy!

Take care of your skin. Do a steam facial maybe once a week for up to 10 minutes, to open up your pores and get rid of blackheads and acne. To do this, get a bowl of boiling water and a towel, and just sit with your face in the steam, using the towel as a little tent/mini sauna over your head and the bowl. Caution: doing it for longer then 10 minutes will just stress out your skin, which will just make it worse! Wash your face right away afterwards with a cleanser made for your type of skin. Then rinse and splash your face with cold water to close your pores or, alternatively, get an ice cube and wait for it to melt a little. Then smooth it gently over your face until it melts; this closes your pores and prevents dirt going back into them. An alternative to this is to use a facial scrub to get rid of flaky, dead skin cells.

You may choose to put on a self-tanner lotion for the face (2 shades darker is perfect for pale skin types) Put a dime size on each cheek and one on your forehead. Blend into your complexion. Wait until dry (about 2 minutes) and wait about 30 minutes until you see results. The great thing about self tanners is that they last all day and you don't have to reapply it like make-up! For darker skin tones, use a bronzer on the cheeks and lids for a more natural sun-kissed glow with lip gloss on the lips.

Create your own personality style. Invest in a good pair of curve-hugging jeans. Dark denim looks good on all body types. Pick some clothes that flatter your figure and that you feel comfortable in. There's no point picking the latest fashions if you don't feel comfortable in them! Pick clothes that make you feel like you!

Wear lace-up flats or sneakers. Flats are cute and comfortable--two characteristics that you rarely ever find in the shoe department!
Wear jewelery that excites you. Find colourful, fun, bright chunky necklaces and bracelets, but if you wear lots of pearls and beads, don't wear a shirt that has a pattern or a picture on it. Wear a monochromatic top with lots of multi-coloured jewelery.

Sexy black? It hides fat rolls, creates curves and makes you feel like a goddess. Sexy undergarments. Wear a thong or a G - string. Men love this, but women will tend to think badly of you if you show off. Try to maintain class as much as possible, while still being sexy.

Pick up dancing. Sign up for lessons with a friend--salsa, ballet, hip-hop, ballroom, whatever you like. You'll gain confidence, and you will move more gracefully and sexily in everything you do, without even thinking about it. (health benefits are an obvious bonus!) Belly dancing is also another way to feel sexy and confident!

Put on appropriate make-up. Just make sure not to go overboard -- subtle is very sexy. Accent one feature at a time! For example, one day, put on lip-liner, bold red lipstick, and mascara. For another day, wear subtle pink or clear lip gloss, and wear eye-liner to make your eyes stand out. If you need help creating a look, a mall makeup counter or independent beauty consultant would be happy to teach you for free.

Get your body in shape. Create a workout plan. Crunches/Lunges equal flat, hard ab muscles, lunges equal toned legs, and squats equal a toned backside. Running or jogging works all muscles of the body and increases your stamina. Plus, the hormones your body releases while exercising carry on through your evening activities to contribute to your new sexy attitude.

Remember that if your workout goal is to lose weight, you're going to need to sweat, and for an extended period of time. Lifting weights will help you drop pounds, since muscle mass burns calories increasing your metabolism. If weight loss is your goal, a good starting point is to do something that gets your heart rate up--like walking briskly, swimming, dancing, or biking--for 30 minutes, 3 times per week. Most importantly, make sure you are burning more calories in a day than you consume. This is the only way you will ever lose weight. If you exercise a bunch but then gorge yourself you will be more fit but still will not lose fat.

Choose a work-out regimen that you enjoy. Hate running? Then don't run! Try different activities until you find one that makes you happier than you were when you began. Then, stick with it. Give it a week or two; once you're "over the hump," it will start feeling like fun instead of torture.

If you're dissatisfied with your body, by all means, work on getting healthier--but remember that "sexy" isn't a body shape. It's an aura. So start working on feeling sexy now! Getting slim and toned can augment sexiness, but it can never replace it. Owning a Steinway isn't the same thing as being a master pianist; in the same way, owning a "hot" body isn't the same thing as being sexy. Learn to play the "piano" you've got! Work it and love it, and everyone else will too.

Last but not least, remeber, sexy doesn't equal to skinny. Men are attracted to ALL kind of body types.

How To Apply Perfume On Dates

Want to smell great for a date, but not sure how much perfume to put on and where to put it?






Spray a little perfume on your wrist. Men may apply to their hands first but be sure to wash afterwards.

Try to add to pressure points, inner wrist, inner elbow, behind knees, behind ears, etc.

If it's a dab on perfume, dab behind your ears.

Put a little more around your hair lightly on the surface but not so much as to damage the texture. You can apply it to your hair line above your neck or to the neck itself.

Spray or dab a little around your neck, don't use too much.

Put a little on the chest, but again don't use too much.

Rub a small amount on the back of your knees.

Spray a little on your inner elbows (about 1 spray per elbow is good).

Don't over apply.

Consider applying to your wrist and neck. Instead of making additional sprays, spray it into the air and walk through it.

Use caution. It you aren't familiar with a fragrance or how strong it applies you can apply it to a cotton ball and then use it to dab.

Ladies, don't ever apply too much perfume to any area that might be nibbled during (or after) the date. The taste of perfume is not too inviting. If you can smell the perfume on yourself without trying to on purpose, you're probably wearing too much.

Last but not least, relax and enjoy your date tonight.

Ladies, How To Choose Your High Heels

High Heels, especially stiletto heels, never go out of style with true fashionistas. But being fashionable isn't always comfortable. If you are a slave to high heels you might also suffer from corns, bunions, and fallen arches. Luckily, there are ways to make them less harmful to your feet (and not just by spending $400+ on an elite designer pair).

Always pick your color and style. Basic black is the classic look for a high heeled shoe or boot, but wilder colors can be pulled off. There are many styles, from boots to pumps, slingbacks, and sandals. Remember that the more open the shoe, the less support it will provide, with the least supportive shoe being a thong type sandal. Make sure the outfit and the shoes match.

Boots are stylishGet the right fit. Due to the stresses of wearing heels, make sure that the shoe really fits! Take your time about trying them on, and once you have a pair that you like, spend some time in them in the store. Stand in them; if there are any problems, your feet will tell you rather quickly. An important test is to stand on the floor in the shoes with your knees straight. Now try to raise yourself on your toes so there's at least an inch of space under the heels. If you can't do that, the heels are too high, and you shouldn't wear them; you'll end up walking and standing with your knees bent.

Practice walking at home before taking your heels out. Get your feet used to them slowly; try to wear them for 15-30 minutes at a time, then take them off and take a break. When you walk, make sure you keep your heels vertical; DO NOT roll to the side! Especially with higher heels, this will lead to the heel slipping and cause you to fall. Practice turning in heels; you need to be deliberate in your steps, or you risk tripping yourself up. You'll notice that heels cause your step to be shorter; this is normal. The higher the heel, the shorter your step will be. Don't try to stride like you would in sneakers.

Try to minimize the amount of time that you wear your high heels, especially if you are doing lots of walking. Most harm to feet, knees and back come from regular long-term use of walking in high heels. When you are done wearing your heels, spend a few minutes to give your feet a massage. Work your ankles in a few different directions and massage the arches. This will help to loosen any muscles that might have tightened or become strained from wearing the heels.

Styles with a slight platform under the toe area tend to be more comfortable as they minimize the angle and pressure on the ball of the foot.

So ladies, before you decide on that pair of heels today, give it a deeper thought. Too much pain is a bad sign; take off your shoes and figure out why. If they don't fit, no matter how much you like them, get rid of them. You only have one pair of feet, and shoes can be replaced.
