Re: Easy diet tips???

I always go for move a lot , lol. It is much easier for me to burn 400 calories at the gym than it is to not eat 400 calories! Also, every pound of muscle that you can add to your frame will burn an extra 30-50 calories a day, how awesome is that ?!? I am a big fan of weight training, as cardio will...

Re: The Diet/Self-Improvement Thread

Hi all, Huge congratulations to Jen and Ghost, you're amazing! Laurie, what about just making healthy lifestyle changes, without setting weight goals? Saying 'I need to lose 100 pounds' sounds super intimidating, but if you just say 'I want to take care of my health so I feel better' maybe that will...

Re: Universally flattering e/s shades

Colours that a lot of people seem to love include earth, vineyard, any of the taupes (eutaupia, taupetastic), idolise, most people seem to really like homecoming queen as a highlight (although of course these will depend on skin colour etc.) I don't think that there really are any universally flatte...

Re: choosing a color based on skin type?

I would work on hydrating your skin, so it doesn't need to produce so much oil. When my skin was oily I tried not using moisturiser, and using products to dry up the oil, but that just made it worse as my skin became dehydrated and overproduced sebum to compensate. Maybe try spritzing your face with...

Re: Make-up style

I have been a bit like you die marchen, and because I always looked very young for my age (sadly I don't seem to any more, now that I would like to!) I dressed older. My 'style' has always been very formal (for the situation) and relatively minimal. My style icons are people like Audrey Hepburn and ...

Re: The Diet/Self-Improvement Thread

Ghost, you can do it! Bread is my enemy (not in terms of weight, but it just makes me feel like crap as I am a little gluten intolerant) so I make up a big batch of brown rice and freeze individual portions sizes, and top with tuna for a super quick meal (I get the thai red curry or satay flavours, ...

Re: Reccomend a highlighter for my skin, please

I think homecoming queen would be nice too. If it is a little too light, you could add some of your foundation base colour to darken it slightly so you don't get the freaky ghost eyes look ;)

Re: The Diet/Self-Improvement Thread

So how is everyone going? Zeebs, I haven't managed to read any of the stuff you sent me yet, lol, I have had a very disorganised week! I have however gone to the gym 3x, so that is good :) I did 2x body balance classes (a mix of Tai Chi, pilates and yoga), and 1x body pump (a barbell class). I am re...
