"LOOK/FEEL GOOD" TIP OF THE DAY - SQUEEZE!


Other than climbing the stairs or taking the subway to work, there are many different ways you can incorporate simple toning exercises into your regimen. My favourite easy-as-pie technique? Squeezing! One fitness instructor told me that while if (sitting or standing) you contract your abs repeatedly on a daily basis, "you wouldn't need to do any sit ups!" The same advice could probably even apply for your glutes. Compressing in and out, then in up-and-down motions can lift your buttocks and even reduce the appearance of cellulite, which leads to (another) fitness instructor's words of wisdom: "Squeeze it, or no one else will want to!"

"LOOK/FEEL GOOD" TIP OF THE DAY - (LADY IN) RED


Wear red today! Science shows that wearing the colour red symbolizes (and radiates) authority, confidence, and sex appeal. Have a big meeting today? Wear red to take a powerful stance in the boardroom. Feeling down? Sport a red shirt or skirt to instantly boost your self-esteem and mood. Dressing to impress on a big date? Nothing stuns like a little red (or black) dress. Black is also a very classic and appropriate colour, as it is famous for making people look slimmer, sexier, and more sophisticated.

Cinnamon reportedly shrinks fat cells, thereby burning more calories and increasing metabolism. Sprinkle a sweet tad of cinnamon on a snack. Or why not just buy some Cinnamon cookies and cereal? Every bite counts!
