Post Baby Body

Fact: 1lb = 3,500 Calories

Weight has been a huge issue for me in the last 9 months. Never been outside the range of 115lb. Gained 53lb in my pregnancy, lost 33lb and, have 20lb to still lose. Been reading up on how to lose weight the healthy way. I really wanted to take up Pilate's because I've heard that its a fast way to loose the weight but to my luck, it only slims your waist. Its great to get rid of those hard to get rid of love handles but i need more than that.

- exercise everyday at the gym and try to burn 500 calories

- Eat less then 500 calories a day

-Drink cold (body burns more calories to make that water warm) water and about 2 gallons a day.

-Even when you sleep you burn calories

-Eat 6 small meals per day. If you decide to skip a meal or two thinking you will lose weight, you wont because the body STOPS burning calories!

A healthy long term way to loose weight is losing 1-2lb per week. If you loose more weight than that per week will result in only TEMPORARY weight loss.

Mistakes while trying to loose weight is eating

fast food (McDonald's meals usually equal 1,250 calories)

processed foods

rice 1/2cup= 300 calories!

bread

tortillas

Kate Middleton Makeup

The drees, the material, accessories, makeup,hair nails. it all makes one look that now everyone wants to copy. The bride look stunning in her Alexander McQueen dress. .

Bride: fringe was parted to the side with loose curls/ half up do. Kates makeup was done herself. How? She had lessons from a makeup artist, prior to the wedding.

 A perfect natural look. White eyeliner in the tear line, liquid black eyeliner under the lash and over the eyelid, try to make a very thin line. The eyeliner secret is the same secret "Angels" wear during most Victoria Secret events. Smokey eye effect, shimmery pearl on the lid and a ash brown on the crease of the eye towards the outter corner. Black mascara and a very defined thick brow. A flushed cheek from the apples to the hair line and a darker pink in the hollows of the cheeks. As you can tell she has this glow which can be achieved with a bronzer all over the face and neck Top off with a pink shimmery lip.

I was literally watching this whole wedding at the gym while i was on the treadmill... looking for every little detail that made it an amazing wedding.

These shoes make me feel like I'm in heaven. Sorry sis but i had to take em for my own. Love at first sight.. no lie. I couldn't resist to slip my foot in these and feel 4 inches taller. Honestly, I put these on and I stood next to my hubby and guess what? I was taller and he's 5'9.

Simply Vera Wang bought at Kohl's for the price of $45.

60s fashion

So the 60s silhouettes are all back. To understand fashion, you must go back and understand the history. Lets go back and remember this very exciting time.

The 60s was a desire to move into the future and change the American life style. It was all about change. WWII post baby boomers had made a good 70 million youth for the 60s. The early 60s required for women to wear knee length
dresses but as time moved on, women started to wear gogo boots and mini dresses. what a drastic fashion change. As for changes in the society, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King began the peaceful protests on race.Women's Liberation which was a series of protests to ban sexual harassment, sexual violence, reproductive rights, maternity leave etc. Let us not forget that JFK was still our 35th president and died  in 1963. Crime had gotten 5 times worse than the 1950s. Weed and LSD were a mind opening drug that soared in the 60's. 

NOW EVERYONE WANTS TO KNOW ABOUT THE HIPPIES.

Being HIP

Being hippie is not the way you behave or the way you dress, its the way you look at life, It is respect for yourself, others and of course Earth.

Woodstock was a movement of peace, love, and music in which 400,000 youngsters gathered.
