10 Super Effective Secrets On How To Lose Weight The Healthy Way
Looking to lose weight? In this article, Beauty and Tips have got 10 super effective secrets on how to lose weight the healthy way.
Losing weight isn’t easy. We know this, and we assume that you know this, too. There is a lot of sweat, a lot of hunger, and a lot of pain involved.
Right?
Right?
Well, actually …
Losing weight doesn’t have to be full of sweat, hunger, pain and tears. It can be much easier, much quicker and much healthier than that.
If you want to lose a few pounds the healthy way and get into shape for the summer, let’s take a look at 10 super effective secrets that will let you do just that.
Invest In A Pedometer
Before we go any further, we strongly recommend that you invest in a pedometer. People who use them average around 2,500 extra steps per day. Over the course of 365 days, that’s an extra 10 pounds burnt off.
Drink More Water
How may glasses of water do you drink a day? If the answer is two or less, you’re not drinking enough.
In fact, you’re not drinking enough water if the answer is four or less.
Water is the elixir of life. But as well as hydrating us properly better than any other substance, and flushing toxins out of our system, water is also helpful when it comes to weight loss.
When you were hungry as a kid, do you ever remember your mom saying “you’re not hungry, you just think you are. You’re actually thirsty.”
You just wanted to scream pure rage at her!
“MOM. I AM HUNGRY.”
“No, you’re not, dear.”
“MOM!!”
But actually … mom was sometimes right!
Because we get so much of our water content from our food, our body sometimes tricks us into thinking we’re hungry when it wants water.
To prevent yourself from getting hungry too often, and thus from overeating, try drinking water more often throughout the day.
Eat A Healthy, Fulfilling Breakfast
We know lots of women who skip breakfast. Perhaps you skip breakfast, too. It’s a common thing to do. Maybe you just don’t have the time to eat in the morning, and reason that you can grab some chocolate when you get to work.
The problem with skipping breakfast is that you will get hungry at some point. And when you get hungry at work, it’s so tempting to grab something quick and easy.
Like a donut.
Or a candy bar.
Or a slice of pizza.
It’s tasty, but not healthy. And it won’t help you lose weight.
It’s a good idea to eat a healthy, protein-packed breakfast that keeps you going until lunch. If you argue that you never have enough time to prepare and eat breakfast, it might be worth it to wake up a bit earlier.
Cut Back On Sugar
Think you can get away with sneaking sugar into your diet even if you’re trying to lose weight? Think it won’t cause too much damage? Think again.
Sugar is all bad. It literally doesn’t have any redeeming qualities. It gets your insulin worked up into such a state that you have too much of it.
You need lowered insulin. Why? Because when insulin is low, fat is able to break free from its chains so that your body burns it.
Moreover, sugar is basically empty calories. Your body stores it away to use another day. But when that other day doesn’t come, it turns it into fat.
Not cool.
Cutting out sugar is an easy and super healthy way to lose weight. Your teeth will also thank you for it!
Make Yourself Accountable
Finding it hard to motivate yourself when no one’s looking? Get a buddy to keep you on track. Tell them your goals. Make yourself accountable to someone.
Snack On Dark Chocolate
Now that you’re losing weight, you probably think you have to give up snacks. Indeed, this is one of the most upsetting parts of losing weight!
If not the most upsetting part.
But actually, you don’t need to give up snacks altogether. Sure, you do have to stop eating sugary snacks, such as candy. But you can replace them for something equally indulgent – but healthier. Such as dark chocolate.
Dark chocolate is the guilty pleasure that’s actually good for us. Rich in antioxidants, it can prevent weight gain, and it can also better regulate our blood sugar levels.
You shouldn’t eat too much, though. Just 2-3 squares a day is good.
Work Out
This might be the one tip you’ve been dreading the most. Intense physical exercise. Is there anything worse when you’re just not used to it?
In the long run, though, exercise will benefit your body and your mind. You’ll lose weight the healthy way, and you’ll improve the way you feel about yourself.
If, however, you’re not ready for such strenuous physical activity just yet, you should at least …
Move More
Do you move about enough? Really and truly?
Or could you move about more?
For example, are you the kind of person who takes an elevator up two floors?
Or maybe you take the car two blocks down the road to the store?
You might argue that these things save time. But is that really the reason you always take the elevator?
Find ways to move more. Stop making excuses. Take the stairs, walk to the shops if you’re only heading out for one or two items.
Hey, you could always just go for a walk 😉
Swap Soda For Juice
We’re only as strong as our weakest link. In other words, our weakest link is what ultimately stops us from succeeding at anything.
For some, their weak link is alcohol.
For others, it’s anger issues.
For those who are struggling with their weight, it might be soda.
Soda tastes good, and it’s so refreshing on a hot summers day.
But soda also causes weight gain. It’s rich in either sugar or artificial flavouring, and it could be your weakest link.
If you drink soda, it’s time to cut it out and replace it with something else. Iced Tea is a refreshing alliterative, as is fruit juice and water!
Make Smoothies
This one might be a tricky one for any of you who’s never made a smoothie before. If you insist that you just don’t have the time to make your own smoothies, you can always just buy pre-made ones from the store.
Smoothies are your new best friend. Being rich in fruit and vegetables means they’re loaded with healthy nutrients and antioxidants that will help you to get leaner.
Stay happy and healthy!

10 BEAUTY TIPS FROM YOUR FAVOURITE CELEBRITIES


10 Beauty tips from your favourite celebrities
When you look at your favourite celebrities, you might think that their beauty is all down to clever lighting, a team of makeup artists, and more than a little airbrushing, but even the celebs can’t leave it all down to someone else to make them look amazing. Believe it or not, they too have their collection of favourite beauty tips, hacks and tricks. Here are ten of favourite beauty tips that we have picked up for you from your favourite celebrities.
1. Liv Tyler loves rosewater
Liv Tyler says that she uses rosewater to achieve her flawless look. She applies foundation and little blush first, and then she dusts her face with a little translucent powder. Then, she sprays her face with a light mist of rosewater and lays a tissue over her face for a few second’s to soak up any excess. She says that it makes her makeup look a lot more natural.
2. Joan Collins keeps out of the sun
Joan Collins still looks amazing and she’s in her eighties! She puts her, still youthful looking skin down some good advice she received from a friend. Her friend showed her some older ladies sunbathing by a pool and asked the actress if she wanted to look that when she was 50. From that day onwards, Joan Collins kept her face protected from the sun!
3. Eva Mendes mixes bronzer and moisturiser
On days that Eva Mendes doesn’t want to wear any makeup at all, she uses a mixture of moisturiser in bronzer on her face. It’s a great way to take care of your skin, look healthy and pretty, but not look overly made up.
4. Ellen Pompeo uses moisturiser to make smoky eyes easier
This one is so simple, you’ll wonder why you never thought of it before, and it really does work a treat. When Ellen Pompeo wants to create a stunning smoky eye look, she applies a small amount of moisturiser to her eyelids first. Then, when she uses a pencil on her eyelids, it glides on smoothly and smudges virtually all by itself.
5. Sophie Ellis-Bextor
Singer, songwriter Sophie Ellis-Bextor has a simple ethos when it comes to makeup and that is to try anything! She likes to think that she has never done her makeup the same way twice and she loves to experiment with looks and ideas. The one trick that she does use a lot, though, is to use a copper tinted blush to add a healthy looking glow to her face.
6. Katherine McPhee has a great tip for fixing eyeshadow smudges
Katherine McPhee has a great way to stop eyeshadow fall from ruining her makeup. She says that if you apply a light dusting of loose powder over the top of your foundation, before you do your eyes, if you do get any shadow spills, it wipes off easily.
7. Taylor swift uses night cream, day and night!
If you thought that night cream was, well, for night use, then think again, because Taylor Swift seems to think that it’s great for use in the daytime too. She says that she applies night cream every single day; both first thing in the morning, before she applies her makeup, and then again at night, before she goes to bed.
8. Drew Barrymore uses white sparkle on her eyes
Even the rich and famous sometime wake up not looking 100% and they need a little something to open up their eyes. Drew Barrymore says that she learned from makeup artists that a little white sparkle in the corner of her eyes can make all the difference. In fact, the first few times she saw how it made her look, she was totally amazed at the difference.
9. Helena Christensen tones and moisturises
Helena Christensen says that she has a very simple beauty regime. She first cleanses her skin, then she tones it, and then she moisturises it, every single day. She’s also especially careful to take of her skin when she’s flying, because she says that her skin can get very dehydrated. Her other beauty tip is one that you will have heard many times, but probably ignored, and that is to make sure you always get a good night’s sleep.
10. Kate Moss wakes herself up with ice and cucumber
Kate Moss has a slightly unusual way of dealing with dark circles and puffy eyes the morning after a night out on the town. She says that, when she wakes up looking tired and a bit puffy, she fills her sink with cold water, ice, and sliced cucumber. She then plunges her whole face into the sink and that tightens up her skin and makes her look more awake.
Stay beautiful!

10 MAKEUP HACKS THAT WILL HELP YOU GET OUT THE DOOR A LOT QUICKER

10 MAKEUP HACKS THAT WILL HELP YOU GET OUT THE DOOR A LOT QUICKER

10 MAKEUP HACKS THAT WILL HELP YOU GET OUT THE DOOR A LOT QUICKER


10 Makeup hacks that will help you get out the door a lot quicker
We’ve all had one of those days. You set your alarm clock for 7am, dreaming of springing out of bed as soon as that samba tone begins. The reality, sadly, is vastly different. You’ve woken up again at 7.45am, and you’ve got half an hour to get out the door. Your hair looks like you’ve been electrocuted and your mascara from last night has somehow made its way down to your chin.
Don’t panic! We’re coming to the rescue. We’ve done a bit of research and noted down our tried and tested beauty hacks to get you out the door looking somewhat presentable.
Make your lipstick work overtime
One of our favourite makeup hacks involves one tube of lipstick doing twice the work it usually does. Instead of just dashing it on your lips and hoping for the best, use a creamy pink lipstick as a blush by dabbing on the apples of your cheeks, and softly blending outwards with your fingers. It sounds like it should turn into a sticky mess, but set it with a little powder and you’ll have an understated healthy glow – with no tell-tale signs of rushing.
Bronzer is a girl’s best friend
When you’re in a rush, there’s nothing worse than faffing around with a million palettes. One for eyes, one for contour, one for highlight…the list goes on. When time is of the essence, there’s one compact you should have close to hand at all times – bronzer. Use it to give your face warmth as usual, and then lightly dust some over your eyelids to create a bit of shadow and definition. If you have fair-light brown hair, you’ll also be able to get away with using your bronzer to fill in your brows. 3 for the price of 1, not bad eh?
Lip-BAM!
You know that old tub of lip balm you have lurking at the bottom of your handbag? The one you just CAN’T seem to finish even though you’ve had it since you were in high school? Now’s the time to let it shine. Vaseline, or any other clear lip balm, can quickly and easily turn your face from drab to fab. Dot some product on your lips and in your cupid’s bow for a kissable pout, and dab some on your eyelids to quickly and easily recreate the wet-look catwalk classic. Lip balm is also killer at smoothing down flyaway baby hairs and putting stray brow hairs in their place – so be thankful that you’ve never got round to throwing old that old tub!
Pre-plan your products
If you’re a regular snoozer of the alarm clock, you’re going to have to prep and plan a bit more than the organised gal. A top way to shed minutes off your makeup routine is to use multi-purpose products. A friend of mine swears by using a powder-foundation compact in the morning, as it takes literally ten seconds to swipe the powder across her face. She’s left with great coverage, doesn’t need to use powder on top and there’s a handy little mirror in the compact too – so no more peering at your reflection in the bus window.
Overnight serums are a must
Sleeping is the best thing you could possibly do for your skin. Getting a good night’s sleep allows time for the skin to repair, heal and balance moisture again – essential if you want to avoid the puffy-eyed look. In order to give your skin a little push, at night time you should pop on a bit of overnight serum on before your moisturiser to give the moisturising product a boost. You’ll wake up with visibly refreshed skin, which will in turn make you look a LOT livelier than, if you were to rock up at work with a dehydrated face and eye-bags big enough to carry your shopping in.
Focus on the eyes
Our eyes are the first major give-away that we’ve woken up disgruntled and late. The skin around your eyes is naturally thin, and it gets even thinner with age. This is the reason why dark circles, puffiness and redness occurs so commonly here compared to other areas. The quickest and easiest way to combat the zombie-look is to dab some pearlescent white eyeshadow or highlighter in the inner corner of your eye. The white pigment reflects off your own eye and will make you look more alert in no time.
Curl those lashes
In a similar way to the previous tip, curling your eyelashes is another quick and simple way to perk up your peepers when you’re in a scramble. Curling your lashes before applying a couple of coats of mascara completely opens up the eye area, making them look bigger and brighter. If you’ve got 15 seconds to spare, blast your eyelash curler with your hairdryer on a low-heat setting to really lock in the curl.
Red lipstick
A statement red lip is a saviour on days where you just don’t have enough time. So another one of great makeup hacks to get ready quickly is adding a pop of red to your lips, it attracts attention, and people will be too busy admiring the colour to notice you haven’t done a whole lot with the rest of your face. Comb and fill in your eyebrows, add a slick of mascara, compliment with a red lip et voilà – zero to hero in no time.
Put a hat on it
If your hair looks like you’ve spent the night snoozing on an electric fence, there’s nothing else for it. Use this opportunity to showcase that cool hat you’ve hidden at the back of your wardrobe. A wide-brimmed floppy hat will never not be chic, and if you pair it with an all-black outfit you’re guaranteed to look sophisticated.

IF YOU WANT A HAPPIER RELATIONSHIP, TREAT IT LIKE YOU TREAT YOUR INVESTMENTS

IF YOU WANT A HAPPIER RELATIONSHIP, TREAT IT LIKE YOU TREAT YOUR INVESTMENTS

IF YOU WANT A HAPPIER RELATIONSHIP, TREAT IT LIKE YOU TREAT YOUR INVESTMENTS


If You Want A Happier Relationship, Treat It Like You Treat Your Investments
How do you improve your relationship? By treating it like you treat your investments.
We all know the stages a relationship goes through. During the first stage, we are blissfully happy with our new partner. The dates are exciting, and we don’t have eyes for anyone else. Literally nothing they do annoys us, and we can’t wait to move in with them.
Eventually, we get a place together. We start planning holidays, careers and we even start talking about kids. Life couldn’t be better, and any “arguments”  we have are just mere disagreements. We wish he’d flush the toilet seat, but hey ho! It is what it is.
Then we get married. The honeymoon abroad is spectacular, and when we return even going back to work doesn’t knock us out of our stride because we’ve got our first child on the way.
But as the months and years pass by, things start to become tense and monotonous. There are more silly arguments than ever. We argue over small, petty things. The fact that he still doesn’t flush the toilet is just the tip of the iceberg. There are many things he doesn’t do, and when we see that toilet not flushed, we flip and launch into a tirade:
“You don’t do this, you don’t do that, you’ve never done this …”
We become swamped by negativity. Everything becomes routine and it gets suffocating.
Even the weekend doesn’t offer us any respite. We both work long hours, and all we’re good for at the weekend is PJ’s and chill.
Sometimes he goes off playing golf with his buddies which annoys us, but other than that every single Saturday and Sunday is the exact same.
Is it any wonder divorce rates are so high?
The thing is that we all know these stages so well, and yet some of us have learned how to manage a relationship so that it almost always remains passionate, exciting and – above all else – happy.
And we do this by treating our relationship like we would our investments.
You know that your investments have good period and bad ones. Sometimes, your stock is doing well and you’re making good money. And sometimes it isn’t doing so well, and you’re not making much money at all.
It’s the same with a bank account. Sometimes out outgoings exceed our incoming, but sometimes it’s (fortunately!) the other way around.
We know that continuos negative transactions will land us in the mire. We’ll be permanently in the red, and in debt. Things will get so bad that we’ll eventually have to close the account.
To make sure that this doesn’t happen, a proactive approach is needed. We need to make sure that there more positive transactions than negative ones – more wins than losses.
This requires understanding and bravery, and it also requires you to hone your financial management game so that you don’t make silly mistakes that could leave you desperately and hopelessly in the red.
The Perils Of Instant Gratification
Let’s forget about bank accounts for the moment and focus on the investments analogy.
Let’s imagine that you collect cars. They’ve been your passion since you were a teenager, and nobody is going to take that passion away from you.
As you will know – as a collector of cars – that cars are always an item of debt unless they’re a collectors item or an otherwise rare car. In which case, they’re seen as an asset.
Nobody makes their money back from a “regular” brand new car, not even if it’s a Mercedes. All cars depreciate, some worse than others. You can expect your brand new car to be worth only 40% of its initial value after three years at best.
Let’s imagine that you were so in love with cars that you were blind to the fact that they were costing you a lot of money. You were buying brand new Porsche’s and Mercedes’, not caring that after three years they’d be pretty much worthless. You sought instant gratification and you got it. You felt good.
You might be finding it hard to spot the analogy between relationships and investing in cars, but with a bit of imagination you can do it.
Let’s broaden your interests. In your twenties, you were passionate about fast, expensive cars that gave you short-term pleasure. You also enjoyed going to nightclubs, splashing out on vacations in the south of France and generally living for the moment. You didn’t care to think twice about your future – that could wait. You were having too much fun.
As a consequence, you weren’t building concrete structures that would last. You were building sandcastles on golden beaches that you kicked over as soon as you were done with them.
Many of us are similar. We spend our twenties partying, and only start seriously thinking about our future when we hit our thirties.
Some of us even wait until we’re in our forties.
However, for those of us who have been in a relationship for most of our adult lives, it’s important that we treat our relationship like an investment.
This isn’t a crude way of putting things – far from it. When you invest in something, you plan for the long-term. To get anything out of it, you have to put a lot into it – effort, time and soul.
And you have to keep working on your investments. If you don’t, you’ll lose.
It’s the same when you invest in yourself. You buy books to become the best at something. You spend time practising until you know it off by heart.
What you put into something is always reflected by what you get out of it. If you eat junk food, don’t exercise and never read, your life will reflect that. By the time you’re fifty, you’ll likely be at serious risk of chronic disease, out of shape, exhausted and lacking in wisdom.
It’s the same when you invest in the stock market. If you take the time to analyse and understand the markets, you have a better chance of winning.
And it’s the same with your relationship. Unless you’re prepare to commit and work hard over the long-term, it will fizzle out.
Relationships only lose their passion and excitement when we let them. Don’t let this happen to yours. It’s NOT a natural occurrence.
Stay happy!

Green goes well with either warm or cool tones of hair color. To make your undertone come up you hence require to be specific on a given color.
The clothing color you are wearing is also critical in this selection. I don’t expect to see you in striking clothes color while your hair is in cool tone. This is an offside and you will not be flattering. The color on your head should be complementing the color of your clothing and jewelry as well.
How about your skin complexion. Some people are olive or gold, while others are pale or pink. Wrong hair color choice can make you look washed out or appear sallow. There is a golden rule for those who are want to look changed from their original hair color to something fashionable.

  • Your skin tone
  • Your eyes color

Best Hair Color for Green Eyes

Having identified the dominant color in your iris, you should look at the color of the veins on your wrist to determine your skin undertone. Green veins tells that you have a warm skin tone and your undertone is either yellow or gold. Blue veins imply cool skin tones. This should now give you a green light to color your hair appropriately.

Warm Skin Tones with Green Eyes

Red hair color

Red is a contrasting color to green as arranged on the color wheel. Complement colors are the best option, hence the various shades of red hair color can be preferred. Fire engine red highlights suitably make the green eyes to clear. Other red hair color shades for warm skin tones are golden, caramel or vibrant red shades respectively. Avoid auburn red hue.

Blonde hair color

Blonde looks attractive with green eyes making them to sparkle beyond expectation. For your warm skin tones, your stylist should try none other than sunny blonde. Medium to dark blonde also defines your undertone making you very attractive. Blonde hues to avoid include brassy and light blonde shades.

Brown hair color

Medium brown hues like the chestnut is all you need for your green eyes. Light to dark brown being the best hair color for green eyes not only make you flattering but also accent your eyes to make them pop. Caramel or chestnut is awesome as well.
