Bra's & Undies

 

Underwear

:: Always wear a bra that fits you properly; a good bra will lift the boobs and give definition to the waist

:: It is fine to show off your bra straps under spaghetti strapped tops and dresses, as long as the bra is pretty

:: Flat-chested women, whose nipples show when they are wearing tops without a bra, should put plasters over their nipples or put foundation on them

:: Wear 'chicken fillets' to fill out a top if you have small boobs

:: Always make sure your bra and knickers are lighter or the same colour as the clothes you're wearing.

Knickers

:: Look at the VPL (Visible Panty Line). Ban all knickers that show through your trousers.

:: Wear flesh-coloured underwear under white clothes or any outfit that is vaguely see-through

:: If a skirt is see-through, but not figure-hugging, opt for big, flesh-coloured knickers rather than a thong

:: If you have bad cellulite on your behind, avoid g-strings at all costs if you are wearing thin fabrics.

Did you know some believe that blood types exhibit certain personality traits?

I recently came across some pretty unique comics based on blood type versus personality. These cartoons depict how each blood type reacts to a certain situation or their intrinsic attributes. Even though there is no proven correlation between blood type and personality, these cartoons are still very entertaining.

Dress Thinner By Tonight!

I believe that every woman can work her body to her advantage by dressing right. Any woman can minimise flabby arms, heavy calves, muffin tops and more just by changing a few key items in their wardrobe.

Here are my top tips for covering a Buddha belly:

1. Throw a jacket over dark jeans. No matter what you’re wearing under it, you’ll have instant camouflage and feel more confident. A contemporary blazer looks slim over tanks and camisoles with dark jeans.

2. Slip a bright jacket over a dark sheath dress. You’re adding drama to a background of slimness.

3. Wear a high-waist body shaper with extra-firm tummy control. You can look flatter and firmer under everything from sleeve-less shifts to pencil skirts.

4. Add a long- loose tank under your sweater as a layering piece to cover any gaps between jeans and tops.

5. Move your waist up or down, experiment with belts to find your best waistline. Take some photos, you’ll be amazed.

6. Get immediate camouflage with draping, crossover details, tiers, or shirring that provides extra coverage without the need to layer.

7. Keep the top small and bottom voluminous ... or keep the top voluminous and the bottom small. Fool the eye with a full drapey top and lean skirt or slimming jeans. Or, wear a fitted top with a drop-waist full skirt or wide, slouchy pants.

8. Wear a dress with a deep V-neckline and a raised waist that skims past the problem.

The right jeans for you

If you have legs like those girls then chances are you don't have any problem finding jeans. Cow!

When it comes to buying denim jeans, women want two things – they want their bottoms to look great, and their tummies to look flat. Here's some tips for making sure you buy a great pair of jeans:

Comfort Factor

If you feel comfortable, chances are the jeans will look good too. Make sure you can sit down and bed over with ease. Jeans should be a pleasure to wear, and not a torture device.

Don't always count on size

Please don't buy jeans that are too tight on you even though it's in the size you normally wear, opt for the next size up if necessary.

Bend and Stretch

Jeans with a higher percentage of stretch will feel great and fit your body shape best. A two way stretch makes for a great fitting jean.

De-Clutter Your Life

Today I'm going to talk about how to get your life, mind and surroundings in order so you have more time to achieve your goals and relax.

• Assess the way you keep your stuff. Can you find the things you need when you need them? Do items emerge from storage in good shape? What are your biggest storage issues? Once you clearly identify specific problems, you’re on your way to finding solutions. 

• Strive for simplicity with the storage systems you create. Store things as close as possible to where you use them—if you use them frequently.

Ph.D. comics

I recently forwarded several phdcomic strips to a good friend of mine who's currently completing a Ph.D. We shared a good laugh and she thought the comics were a good representation of her current state! Anyway, I hope she completes it before she loses her sanity =P

This cat is just adorable!

For all animal lovers out there! 

Here's some pictures of a really cute cat called Kegoneko, who lives on a farm in Japan. He was born in 2002 and weighs 4.5 kilograms.

This cat has quite a unique personality - he doesn't mind having objects placed on his head or paws! I can't say the same the same about my cat though =\

Sleep Cycle Alarm Clock

If you're an iPhone user like me then you've probably heard of an app called 'Sleep Cycle Alarm Clock'. I've been using this app for several months now and I still use it daily!

The app monitors your movement during sleep using the extremely sensitive accelerometer in your iPhone, then finds the optimal time to wake you up during a 30 minute window that ends at your set alarm time.

In addition, it also saves your sleep data and displays a detailed sleep graph (like the one below) and sleep statistics for every night you use it.

DIY cucumber mask

Here's a very quick & easy 'recipe' for a soothing mask to brighten your skin.

You'll need:

Half a cucumber
One table spoon of natural yogurt

What to do:

What skin type are you?

Having good skin is the fundamental to looking your best, but as everyone knows, a hectic lifestyle can leave little time for pore pampering.

So let's start off with the basics. The first key to speedy skincare if to understand what kind of skin you have so you know what products are suitable for your skin type. Products that works great on your best friend doesn't mean it will do you the same favours.

Dry skin

• Prone to flakiness and never feels moisturised unless you've just applied moisturiser
• Unable to retain moisture 
• Often feels tight
• Without extra care, this type of skin is prone to premature aging

What to do

• Don't use tap water or soap, instead use a rich cold cream to cleanse
• Massage your skin with moisturising oil or serum every night to help stimulate the sebaceous glends into producing more sebum
• Be generous with eye cream in the areas surrounding the eyes
