Getting Rid of the Love Handles by Doing Two Killer Exercises

I know how confusing advertisements can be, filled with magical pills and unhealthy actions. If you are thinking the same way, then you might enjoy this article.



The “love handles” area, right around the hips, is probably the worst one to lose weight. It might be hard, but it is not impossible! This is why you are reading this article – I will give you two exercises that will exhaust you but it’s worth it. 

Trunk Twists

Stand with your feet shoulder width apart. Then you reach your arms out in the form of a T, but remember to always keep you head and legs straight. Rotate your body to the left, contract your stomach and oblique muscles and stretch your limbs for a few seconds. Increase the reps and sets and add weight if you have a bar when you can.

Oblique Crunches

Lay on the floor, bend your legs to a 90 degree angle and make sure your feet are not touching the ground. Place your hands behind your neck and squeeze your stomach muscles when you bring your right elbow to your left knee. Stay in that position for at least 20 seconds. Repeat by switching hands and legs.
And this is it. It’s easy to do, you just need some persistence. Come on, you can do it!

10 Makeup Tips That Nobody Told You About PART 10 !

Every girl has her beauty secrets for perfect nails, hair and make-up. Here I have for you some of my favourite beauty tips and tricks that really work and I personally have been using for such a long time.


1. Fix broken lipstick

Let’s face it – at some point in our lives we all have had to deal with the “broken lipstick” problem. Don’t throw it away .There is a way to fix it and it’s very simple – just melt it a bit with a hairdryer or lighter , even out the broken edges, put it in the fridge overnight and voilĂ  – your lipstick will be as good as new! 

2. Keep lipstick of your lips

Here I have 2 tips for making your teeth lipstickless.
The first one is used by celebrities and girls in beauty pageants and it’s very simple – just run some vaseline over your teeth before you put on lipstick and you’re good to go.
The second one may sound a bit strange but it helps a lot. Apply lipstick, put your finger in your mouth and pull it out! That way, all the lipstick in the inside of your lips will be gone and you won’t have to worry that your teeth may turn red in the middle of the day!

  

3. Use mascara as eyeliner

Imagine this – Friday night, you’re going out with your girlfriends and you just started doing your make-up. But you’re out of eyeliner! If this happens way too often, this beauty trick is for you! You just have to rub your eyeliner brush on the mascara brush and you’re good to go! Bonus tip: if you don’t have an eyeliner brush, you can melt an eyeliner pencil with a lighter, wait several minutes to cool completely and apply like you normally would apply you eyeliner.

  

4. The business card trick

 Put a business card on your eyelid, hold your eyelid up and apply mascara as usual. This way, the card will protect your eyelids from getting mascara all over them and you won’t have to remove  your eye make-up and doing it again. Bonus tip: You can use business cards to fill in your brows, make a “cat eye” or even apply blush and bronzer on your cheeks.
  
   5. Shave legs with conditioner

You don’t need much explanation for this one. Just use some hair conditioner (it doesn’t have to be an expensive one) instead of shaving cream and it will prevent dryness of the skin and make the hair grow slower.
  
  6. Make perfume last longer

This one is another vaseline tip. As strange as it sounds, if you want to make your perfume last longer, just rub a little vaseline on your skin before you spray the perfume.

  

  7. Drying hair with T-shirt

If your hair is frizzy and you have split ends, this tip is for you. It may sound ridiculous, but the cure for these 2 things is drying you hair with a simple cotton T-shirt.
  
  8. Using a toothbrush in your hair routine

This beauty trick involves using a toothbrush in your daily hair routine. If you have flyaways that ruin your perfect hairstyle just hairspray and old toothbrush and “comb” them back. It’s easy, fast and cheap and your hairstyle will look as if it’s made by a professional. Another thing you can do with a toothbrush is tease your hair. It’s like teasing it with a comb and if you don’t have one in hand, the toothbrush is the perfect substitute.
  
  9. Perfect French manicure

After you apply your base coat and wait for it to dry, put a Band Aid over most of your nail, leaving the tip open so you can paint on it. Then apply a nail polish of your choice over the tip and you’re done.

  10.Fix broken powder

Now you can fix broken powders, blushesh or even eve shadows by mixing the broken pieces with some rubbing alcohol and pouring the mixture in a container (the old one if it’s not broken). Leave them to settle overnight and in the morning you’ll have perfectly good make-up!

Applying Lipstick Tutorial

Applying lipstick is not as easy as it looks. In order to get the perfect lipstick you need to follow the steps and not forget that it is a job that requires lots of skill and concentration.


  • Apply a lip primer. The purpose of primers is to smoothen the skin and make the makeup more long-lasting and less prone tosmudging.
  • Contour your lips with a lip liner. This step is important if you want to emphasize the lips a lot and make them seem bigger.
  • Soften the contour of the lips with a small brush for a more natural look.
  • Apply the lipstick . It is best to do it with a small brush than with the lipstick itself since the work will be done more precisely that way.
  • Using a clean, unused brush, clean the edges where you have gone out of the lines



Sounds like a lot of work, but if you follow the steps carefully, you will learn how to do it for under a minute!

Fresh Eye Look for the Summer

Looking fresh and natural should be one of your top priorities in the summer. Of course, a small part of us like a “naked” look with no makeup, so here is an idea of how to keep a fresh appearance with a little emphasizing on the eyes.


  • Apply a little brown eyeshadow on the top line of your eyelid.
  • Draw a slight line with black eyeliner.
  • Fill it and make it a little wider with a little pin-up wing finish on the outer part of the eye.

See? Just for a minute you have a fresh, yet not too dark eye makeup!

Bold Eye – Vibrant Lip Makeup

Like in fashion, rules in makeup should not be considered. The bolder and wilder you are, the more successful you might be in expressing yourself. Many times we have heard that if you are doing a strong eye makeup, you should do a nude lip, and the other way around too: red lipstick does not go with black smoky eyes. That has changed! You can do both a strong eye and lip and look fashionable and stylish in the same time. Here is one idea:



  • With the help of a very small thin brush, apply a dark eyeliner contour from the inner end of your eye to its outside.
  • Using brush and a colorful liquid eyeliner or an eyeshadow, draw a brightly colored line over the black one. Make it thicker and longer than the basic one.
  • Now do a bold lip in bright red!




Adding color to your makeup routine and being crazier with it is not a bad thing and the best time to do it is definitely summer!

4 Natural Remedies for Peeling Skin

Very dry skin can start peeling with time and that is definitely a sign that something is not right. Maybe your regular moisturizer is not helping anymore and you want to try something new, or you are switching to all-natural remedies and want to check out what the methods against peeling skin are. Here are a few pure items that might help you out with very dry peeling skin:



  • Bananas: make a banana cream using a ripe banana and yougurt. Apply the mixture to the affected area. The skin will get softer and smoother after you wash it out, but it’s better to repeat the procedure in a few consecutive days for better results.
  • Almond Oil: the “skin” oil will definitely help you with dry patches of skin by simply applying it to the affected area.
  • Lemon Juice: not only it is refreshing and can be used in cooking, but lemon juice will help to reduce the peeling of skin. It can be turned into a scrub if you combine it with sugar or in a pure form to serve as a moisturizer
  • Aloe Vera: it is one of the best components of beauty products for sensitive skin. You can use it in a gel form or the Aloe Vera pulp to enhance moisturizing and help easing the blood flow.
