You have all been with me along my "oh so awful I cannot find a winter coat" journey. I ordered one from House of Fraser. It arrived. It was awful. I ordered one from ASOS. It arrived. It was nice. From Danish brand Minimum (a brand I really like), it was a simple charcoal duffle. But I feel like a slob when I wear it during the week. I need something that goes the extra: looks stylish, keeps me warm and maybe is in a colour that lifts rather than drains? I almost bought a navy Burberry mac, and although that remains on my wish list (as I think navy is a fabulous colour) I plumped for this coat in Zara. Cue shaky shot of me wearing said coat today as I was heading out! It's funny because I tried this right at the beginning of the winter season. Then I saw some semi-famous people wear it in the newspapers and I liked the way it looked when worn smart or casual. I guess you would describe it as a swing coat. There is a retro feel to it. The buttons are covered in dark brown leather and I think camel looks lux... even if it cost just $99. I am happy and I am cosy. Win, win! Finally, the quest it over... well until next year!
Get Lean as You Clean
Hey everyone! So I was browsing the internet a few weeks ago in search of a magic product to aid my mission to banish cellulite and I came across a soap bar by Bliss called Fat Girl Soap. The soaps aim is to get lean while you clean. It's made with massaging nubs and caffeine to stimulate circulation and contour the body, skin-vigorating peppermint and grapefruit extracts, and jojoba beads to exfoliate and enhance the penetration of follow-up products, it’s a lively lather that really raises the "bar" on body toning. Massaging nubs and caffeine stimulate circulation and contour the body. Peppermint and grapefruit extracts invigorate skin. Jojoba beads slough dead skin cells and enhance product penetration. As soon as I received it I couldn't wait to hop in the shower to try it out! The first thing you will notice is the gorgeous smell of peppermint. As you can see from the picture there are nubs which helps the circulation in the skin as well as massaging the beads into the skin to help exfoliate.
The soap lathers up really well and straight away you can feel the dead skin cells being removed from you skin as instantly your skin starts to feel soft and smooth. I focussed mainly on my thighs to help reduce my cellulite by using circular movements for about 5 minutes on each leg. Having used it for nearly a week I can already see a dramatic difference not only in my cellulite but my entire body feels the softest that it has ever felt. I will be investing in more of the fat girl range as there are so many products on their website that look fab! I definitely recommend this soap to all of you ladies its perfect for the summer season when the skirts are pulled out from the back of the wardrobe. Head to blissworld.com where you can browse their products and purchase a thing or two. If my review isn't enough to tempt you how about a 15% discount off bliss products on Black Friday 29th of November! Leave me a comment below if you do purchase any products from their website I'd love to hear your recommendations.
Weight Loss Causes
When eating out, snack lightly before you leave. Most people eat very heavily when they feel sharp hunger. Arm yourself against this by eating some salad before you go to a restaurant. Also eat lesser than what you need will lose weight. Most people believe that reducing weight is a very tough job. Try to replace high fat food with low fat, high fiber natural food like carrots, cucumbers and melons. Having one watermelon for dinner or lunch will greatly cut the number of calories that your body receives. It also works wonders for your skin. Swimming is a terrific way to tone the body and get in shape with very little stress on the joints. This makes it the perfect exercise for any age; all you need is a swimsuit and to find a suitable time at the pool, many have designated adult swim times or family sessions.
The first one about not swimming too well. That means you do swim a bit, and a bit is all you need to get this thing rolling. When I came back to swimming after 30 years off, I started easy, I did what I could because I knew that as time passed I'd get a little bit better and a little bit better until I was really getting somewhere. Now when I say easy, I mean easy, like 25 meters and then a rest, then another 25 meters and so on. It's like water on stone, the outcome is never in doubt, and the little drip will go right through that stone. If you look at too big a task, you'll say, "oh forget it, it's too tough to lose 96 lbs.". Then let's do it! And when we've got that wall knocked down, we'll go for 8 lbs. next time!” Knows the time to start your to lose weight.
