How to get rid of Cellolite fast and avoid it !!!



Nobody wants to go to the beach and show off cellulite skin but almost all women get cellulite at some point of their lives. The only thing we can do is to slow the formation of the “orange skin” by eating certain foods and avoiding others and, of course, doing regular exercise. Here are some Do’s and Don’ts of battling cellulite:


  • Drink at least 1 glass of fresh orange juice a day. As we know, citrus fruits are the biggest enemy of “orange skin”.
  • Avoid drinking too much coffee and tea because they help wash off all the mineral substances in your body. If you drink them, don’t put sugar. Also, you shouldn’t drink alcohol more than a glass of wine a day.
  • Follow a diet. Maybe the most important thing is to be careful what you eat. Stay away from proteins and carbohydrates.
  • Eat potatoes for cellulite-free skin. Because they’re high in potassium, they help your body release wate faster. You can also eat avocado, bananas, cabbage, wheat, barley, mushrooms.
  • Alternate hot and cold dishes. For lunch eat cold dishes and for dinner – hot.
  • Eat food high in lecithin – eggs, soy, cauliflower.
  • Eat food high in antioxidants – strawberries, pomegranate, grapes and citrus fruits.

how to enlarge your chest !!


Every woman knows how the chest affects the confidence. Many of them are trying to do everything they can to at least make their breasts bigger. From push-up bras till these “magical” pills.


However, a recent research showed us that there are actually a few types of food, which can help the process of enlarging your chest measurement. The reasoning behind the small-chested women is the hormonal disbalance – when the testosterone has a larger production, the breasts are smaller.
If this can be controlled by consuming a smaller amount of some fruits and vegetables, you can increase the level of estrogen in your system.
For example grain food, such as brown rice, oats and barley can help your chest grow. The producing of estrogen can be stimulated with cherries, blueberries, strawberries, chick-peas, parsle, different kinds of grain food and chicken meat.
Healthy proteins are also very important and they can be found in the carrot, cucumber, pumpkin, onion, cabbage, beetroot and the cauliflower.
After all, the food rich on proteins and minerals are important for the chest to enlarge.

How-To: Chic Shoelace Braid

If you think this style is impossible to replicate, think again. Hairstylist Cash Lawless shows you exactly how to recreate this chic, badass shoelace braid in minutes!




The tools you'll need:

1. Volumizing mousse
2. Hair elastics
3. Bobby pins


1. Give your hair grip.

Apply Philip B. Russian Amber Imperial Volumizing Mousse from root to end to give your hair grip, so your shoelace braids stay in tightly and the hairs don't slip out.

2. Begin tying two pieces of hair, on either side of your part, like you would a shoelace.


Part your hair down the middle, and then grab two pieces of hair on either side of your part at the point of your hairline. Tie them in a loose knot as if you're tying your shoes.

3. Add small pieces of hair to the sections you're tying.

Similar to French braiding, add small pieces of loose hair to the sections that you're tying in knots as you angle the braid down toward your ear and back toward the crown of your head.


4. Pin the shoelace braid halfway between your hairline and your crown.

Hold the braid in place by crisscrossing two bobby pins. Repeat steps one through four on the other side of your head.

5. Gather all your hair in a ponytail.

Once your two shoelace braids are secured with bobby pin "X" formations, take all the remaining hair and pull it into a high ponytail, securing it with an elastic hair band.

6. Fishtail braid the ponytail.

To fishtail braid, divide the ponytail in half and take a tiny piece of hair from the left half of the ponytail and cross it over to the right half. Then, take a piece from the right half and cross it over, incorporating it with the left half of your hair. Continue all the way to the end of your ponytail.

7. Wrap the fishtail braid around the base of the ponytail. 

Position the braid in a circle on its side so you can see all the detail, and then pin it down with a bobby pin.
