Tips to keep your body beautiful

Eat immediately after exercise

Researchers at the University of North Texas have found that people who eat foods rich in protein and carbohydrates immediately after exercise are able to work 55% more at their next meeting.

Swim

Swimming is easy to practice and one of the most comprehensive sports. It does little risk of injury has very few contraindications. Let’s jump into the pool! In addition, contact with water is very relaxing.

Oasis trends

Togging up in fashionable clothing in which you feel comfortable has a positive effect on one’s training and is one more reason not to quit.

Pedal

Cycling is convenient for travel and allows us to limit the use of our cars. One bright spot for the planet and for our legs.

Qigong

Several centers offer courses of qigong, which means the training of vital energy. Ranked among the martial arts and gymnastics, such energy comes from traditional Chinese medicine. The combination of movements helps develop concentration, and reduces high blood pressure and rate of heartbeat. Great for reducing stress levels, this technique is also the basis of tai chi.

Breathe

According to kinesiology, learning to breathe properly is crucial and to be in top shape. It is therefore important to train one’s muscles during deep-breathing exercises. Breathing deeply during exercise can also allow you to do more.

Salsa

The best way to do physical activity is by having fun. Why not dance the salsa, the dance of the South, summer and sensuality. Websites can help you find salsa classes in your area.

Tone, trampoline and trapeze

You can also try the trampoline, which combines cardio, strength training, flexibility and agility. The sport improves coordination and strengthens the muscle tone of the legs, back and stomach. It works muscles rarely used on a daily basis. In practice, alternate with the trapeze to increase tone.

One step at a time

There is no point starting off one’s training too intense; one needs to move along gradually to allow the body to get used to different levels. Going too fast can make one vulnerable to injury.

Venous

"Aerobics helps release the waste from our body, and the pressure of water facilitates venous return. Additionally, water provides a massaging effect on muscles," says an aerobic teacher.

X-Treme

Doing too much exercise is just as bad as not doing any at all. Avoid overly intensive training and other extremes.

YMCA

The YMCA offers an approach that supports the participant in developing a training program according to his personality. Participants fill out a questionnaire based on their lifestyle, skills, goals and motivation, and may meet with a YMCA-certified counselor to help them establish their program.

Zen

By choosing activities that reduce stress and are “Zen”, like yoga and Pilates, your body will benefit.

Five tips to beat the smoking blues

I must confess today. I was a heavy smoker for many, many years. Until one of my dearest friends died of throat cancer. He was also a heavy smoker. Although the doctors could not confirm 100% that smoking caused the cancer, they were adamant that the smoking could have played a role for getting it.

Fortunately it is now 5 years since his death that I stopped smoking. It was not easy. But eventually I succeeded. Many smokers find the rituals involved with smoking calming and satisfying, and handle cigarettes as a way to feel less self-conscious in public. This is a fallacy because that was not the reason for starting to smoke. This is now only an excuse to justify the smoking. But of course, there are many alternative things to do with your hands when you quit. Here are 5 tips:

1. Find other objects to handle - for instance, keep a pen and pad in your pocket or on your desk (pick this up instead and write down your reasons for giving up smoking, or just doodle);

2. Hold a real cigarette if the touch is all you miss - but not if handling a cigarette makes you want to light up;

3. Don’t confuse hunger with the desire to put a cigarette in your mouth - eat regular meals and keep healthy snack foods on hand;

4. Take up a hobby that keeps your hands busy, e.g. gardening or wood carving.

5. Never, but never decline invitations to parties or social gatherings due to the fact that you may be tempted to start smoking again when you see your friends smoke or inhale the smoke of cigarettes. You can and you will continue with your efforts to kick the habit!

Good luck!!

Sensual Love

Staring out the window

She wraps herself in linens

Emerging from the shadows

Her lover hungry for her taste

The haze of dusk settling

The world becomes quiet

The tides are sluggish now

The birds nestling down

Warm breezes fill the room

Scented candles illuminate

She swirls her glass of wine

No thoughts, no worries, just time

Her lover behind her now

Gentle hands upon her hips

Pulling her in to him

Lips pressed firmly on her nape

His hands descend down between her thighs

Fingertips dragging closer

She quivers at his touch

Her body so fragile and so vulnerable

His determination is unmoving

A desire to bring ecstasy

To a woman that he loves

Until exhaustion hits

They make unyielding,

Passionate and sensual love

Flirting with danger

Flirting is fun and can lead to romance, but some people get a kick out of leading others on.

You know those men who seem so fabulous when you first meet them because they so clearly get how interesting and sexy you are, right away? Sigh. We all fall for this, but here are some tips to pigeonhole the poisonous ones before you get your heart broken.

How to spot a dangerous flirt:

· He’s all over you, even before you've exchanged two words.

· His banter is sexually charged and he pays exaggerated compliments.

· He is quite touchy-feely with you from the start.

· He asks you for your number as soon as he can and may suggest that the two of you go to a late–night bar that same evening, where he will try to seduce you.

It’s exciting in the beginning, but he may convince you to do something you’ll regret later, when all you wanted was some harmless flirting.

How to flirt safely:

· Have fun! Flirt, get out there, enjoy yourself – but also control yourself. Use your flirting with tact.

· Be on guard for people who are trying to play you. Keep your eyes open and don't give too much of yourself away too soon.

· Use your flirting skills to get to know people, not as an end in themselves.

· Don’t be a toxic flirt, who’s addicted to leading people on. You’ll end up messing up other people, and yourself.

· Don’t flirt to get attention and flattery. Get your self-esteem from within yourself, not from people who don't know the real you.

· Never assume that playing games is the way to a man's heart. Don't try to make him jealous by flirting with other men, pretending you don't remember him when he calls or telling him you're busy for the next two weeks. A nice man will take these indicators as a snub and may decide not to ring you again.

Sexy tattoos for women

Sexy Tattoos for women depend on whether the designs are good enough. Whatever you do, don't spoil your body with an inferior design.

Ask most men whether tattoos on women are sexy or not and you will get a mixture of answers. It is certainly not as easy as getting a yes or no answer. In reality, you are either for tattoos or you are not. If you are, then whether or not they are sexy will depend upon a couple of important factors. First, are they appropriate for the person involved? And second, are they partly hidden and discreet leaving something for the imagination? Research done on this topic indicates that most men are more likely to be turned on by an elegant, well placed tattoo rather than an endless display of "body" art where it is hard to see any untouched skin at all. A perfect example of this is seeing someone as elegant as Angelina Jolie and the tasteful and sexy way she has gone about the process of being tattooed.

Given that, if you are going to get yourself a sexy tattoo, do your homework and find a design that suits you. We are all different and what suits one person may not suit another. The design is extremely important and there is no shortage of sexy tattoos for women out there, it is just a matter of finding that one simple elegant tattoo that will look sexy on your body and is yours and yours alone.

Most Popular Sexy Tattoos for Women

Flowers - While some consider flower tattoos to be "old hat", they seem to be making somewhat of a revival in the popularity stakes. Ideal for your first tattoo as they are the epitome of femininity and sexiness. There are any number of flower options from roses (red, white or pink) and rosebuds through to Cherry blossoms (great with an elegant Japanese tattoo), lilies and even orchids. In fact, as far as flowers are concerned, you are only limited by your imagination and what is important for you. Each flower has its own meaning which is great if you are looking for something of significance in your life.

Butterflies - As free as a butterfly! Is there a better way to remind you of those beautiful, carefree days in your life? Butterfly tattoos lend themselves to beautiful colors to match your skin type and is there anything sexier than seeing a butterfly near a beautiful gal's bikini line. Butterfly tattoos continue to be one of the most popular of all tattoos because of their beauty and grace.

Dolphins - Dolphins are amazing creatures and very much loved by everyone for their amazing free spirit. A dolphin tattoo can look extremely sexy in the right place. Once again the bikini line is great for these as too are the shoulder and ankle. Dolphins are particularly popular with those who love animals especially those who have an affinity with the sea.

Stars - These are a real favourite amongst the movie star set. Stars can be used to depict all sorts of personal beliefs such as religious, sexuality or mythological desires. In many cases they are used for their size and the colours and patterns that can be generated by using them in a series. One of the most sensual ones that were witnessed recently was a series of different colors and size stars leading through the bikini line. On the right body, this was sensationally sexy.

Tribal Designs - Traditionally, tribal designs belong in the male domain; however, with clever use of flowers (especially roses) and butterflies, these are being integrated in traditional tribal designs to make some absolutely gorgeous and sexy lower back pieces of art. This is a sensual part of the female body and an elegant design here can be a real turn on for most males. The advantage being that it can be displayed either fully, partially (sneak peeks) or hidden completely to be enjoyed by only special people.

Top Bodies deserve top designs. Do your homework and you are sure to find enough sexy tattoos for women to make your choice the right one for you.

Like Your Body

Men love a woman who loves her body. A woman who walks around feeling good about her body and knowing that her body is beautiful is incredibly sexy to a man and make him curious and eager to get to know that woman. So be sure to build your physical confidence and focus on bringing out your best features. 

Nobody is prefect- everyone has flaws, but that does not mean that you should advertise your flaws. Get to know yourself and find your strong physical points and bring them out for the world to see and admire. If there are parts of your body that you believe could use some help, then do something about rather than complain.

Go girl, go! watch yourself in the mirror and love what you see!

The Best Clothing Options for Your Body Shape

You can spend a fortune on clothes, but if they don’t complement your body shape, you’ve truly wasted your money. While every woman’s body shape is different, most women generally fall within one of the following categories:

Pear Body Shape – Your upper half is smaller than your lower half. Most pears will have a slender neck, slender shoulders, narrow back, small to average bust, a defined waist, a curvy behind and hips and full calves and thighs. When you gain weight, you tend to gain it in your thighs and hips.

Apple Body Shape – Your upper half is larger than your lower half. Most apples will have a full face and neck, full breasts, a full or undefined waist, a small or flat behind, narrow hips and shapely legs. When you gain weight, you tend to gain in your waist area or mid-section.

Hour Glass Body Shape – You are very curvy and you have a defined waist. You have a full bust, medium to broad hips and shapely legs. Your hips are in-line with your shoulders and when you gain weight, it tends to go to all the right places.

Rectangle Body Shape – You have a straight figure with slight curves. You have a balanced up and down figure with an average bust, undefined waist and great arms and legs. When you gain weight it distributes evenly all over your body.

Here are some tips and guidelines that can help you purchase the right style of clothes to match your body shape.

Clothes for Pear Shapes

If you are a pear shape, balance is what you should be looking for in clothing. You want to give the illusion of a larger bust and wider shoulders. The goal when shopping for clothes is to look for clothing that will give your lower body a slimming look while over-playing your upper body.

The best way to do this is to choose wide neck lines. You can choose square necks, round necks, draped, V-neck or scooped neck tops. Fitted tops will work well, but you can also successfully wear looser blouses and tops. Keep in mind that halter tops work really well for pear shapes because they give the appearance of wider shoulders which balances out the thighs and hips. Tops that have puffy sleeves will also give the illusion of wider shoulders. Shirts, sweaters and blouses that have a lot of detailing work well for pear shapes, as do light, bright colours and prints. In regards to colours, keep your colourful shades on top and stick with neutral, dark colours on the bottom.

Pear shapes should opt for flared or A-line skirts. You should also look for pants or jeans that are wide-legged or flared. Remember; the darker your bottom pieces are, the better. If you’re in the market for a dress, wrap dresses or dresses that have an empire waist will work the best. Avoid body hugging dresses and skirts and garments that have large pockets and/or belts.

Clothes for Apple Shapes

If you are an apple shape, elongating or lengthening your torso is the name of the game. You want to purchase clothes that will slim the waist and shoulders and you want to have attention drawn to areas such as your breasts and legs - areas away from the stomach.

The best shirts for apple shapes are V necklines and wrap tops. Both of these take the eye away from the shoulders and abdomen. Layers work well for apple shapes so consider wearing a camisole or tank top beneath a jacket. Blouses and jackets that have belts or cinched waists will help to minimise the waist area and slenderise the stomach. When shopping for jackets, look for ones that fall to mid-thigh or right below the waist. Opt for dark coloured tops and jackets.

When it comes to bottoms, skirts that fall from one to five inches above the knee work well. A-line skirts are the best, as are jeans that have a flared leg or boot-cut. Jeans and skirts that have pockets with flaps on the behind will give your behind a curvier look. The colours for your bottoms can be lighter than your tops such as light wash jeans, and colourful/patterned skirts.

Clothes for Hour-Glass Shapes

If you have an hour-glass shape, consider yourself fortunate. You can wear most anything. Your goal when shopping for clothes is to look for clothes that will accentuate your curves by drawing attention to your waist. The only things you should avoid are baggy clothes and straight jackets, skirts and straight-legged jeans. You should also avoid shirts with a lot of ruffles because they will make your bust line look out of proportion to the rest of your body. In regards to the length of skirts and dresses, stay away from overly short ones. They will make you look round.

Clothes for Rectangle Shapes

If you have a rectangle figure, know that it is considered a model’s figure. You truly do not have anything to worry about when it comes to clothes - you can wear almost anything. Your goal when shopping for clothes is to find clothing that will give the appearance of more curves. Your curves will naturally pop if you avoid vertical patterns and vertical stripes. These will make you look lanky. You should also avoid tightly fitted shirts, cropped jackets and bottoms that have a high waist-line. Stay away from straight cut jeans and slacks, too. They will only make your straight figure seem more thin and straight.

Now that you have a general idea of the types of clothes that you should be shopping for, it’s time to head to the stores!

Body Image

Body image is an important part of self-identity and self-esteem. It involves our perception, imagination, emotions, and physical sensations of and about our bodies. It is not static, but ever changing; sensitive to changes in mood, environment, and physical experience. It is not based on fact. It is psychological in nature, and much more influenced by self-esteem than by actual physical attractiveness as judged by others. It is not inborn, but learned from family members, peers and wider social and cultural standards (mass media).

In the West the message ‘thin is beautiful’ carries great power. The ideal female body is thin, tall and long legged, and there is a pervasive belief among women that you need to fit this “ideal” to be successful. The result is that women and even young girls have become very concerned about the shape and size of their bodies. It also affects men and boys, though not to the same extent. The result is that over the last few decades, there had been increasing incidences of body dissatisfaction and eating disorders.

Beauty is not just skin deep. It is a reflection of your whole self. Love and enjoy the person inside.

Let Your Sensuality Blossom with Sizzling Hot Lingerie

As women today, it’s all too easy to allow our sensuality to deteriorate. After all, we have demanding careers, children who need our love and attention, and a million chores to run and chores to do. The intimate relationships we have with our husbands or boyfriends often take a backseat to the activities that comprise our life. It does not take much, though, to rediscover our sensuality and reignite our passion – some sizzling hot lingerie will do the trick almost every time.

You do not have to be Shirley of Hollywood or memorize the Kama Sutra to add some spice to your love life. You actually just need a bit of time, some privacy, and a few sizzling hot lingerie.

Time

Nobody ever has enough time, so you need to make it a point to carve out some time for you and your husband to be together. If you don’t have children, it is relatively simple to set aside 1 night per month for “date night.” If you do have kids, well, that’s why grandparents were invented. A sleepover at grandma’s, your sister’s house, or perhaps a good friend’s house will provide you with and your mate an opportunity to have a leisurely evening, night, and morning alone. That ought to rekindle the flames!

Privacy

Privacy is key with regards to a successful date night. That means more than tucking the kids away at a relative’s house. It also means a commitment to spending the evening without interruption: an agreement to not answer the house telephone, turn off your mobile phones, and resist the temptation to sneak off to check your e-mail. If you don’t think that is feasible, consider investing the night at a local hotel. You may only be a couple of miles from home, however it will give you the psychological space to truly unwind and appreciate yourself.

Sizzling Hot Lingerie

There’s no denying that men are visual creatures, and some sexy lingerie will go a long method to rekindle the enthusiasm you share. Surprise him by “slipping into something more comfortable” and coming out in a bustier, corset, baby doll, or camisole. You never know – he may have a few ideas of his own and be wearing men’s sexy underwear, have rose petals spread on the bed, or have flavored massage oil on the nightstand.

Regularly Indulging Your Sensuality

Each and every woman knows how hard it’s to change roles at a moment’s notice. It is hard to fix dinner, get the kids bathed and put to bed, after which – snap – turn right into a seductress. Try too hard, and you will either give up or begin resenting your mate.

Among the things that make it simpler to kindle the enthusiasm that you and your husband share is to frequently indulge your sensuality. That may imply carving out some alone time to go on a stroll by yourself, to take a bubble bath, or to possess a regular manicure and pedicure. It can also mean wearing lingerie daily that makes you feel sensuous. Your co-workers don’t have to know that you’re sporting a sexy bra and panty set under your business suit, or that you’re wearing stockings and garters instead of pantyhose. Your husband does not even need to know. The essential thing is the fact that you will know, and that you will carry an awareness of your sensuality with you through the day. With time, you’ll find it much simpler to switch from mommy to lover at the end of the day. And when you do, you’ll have your sizzling hot lingerie to show off to your partner.
