Considering Models tend to influence some of us on our appearence/fassion/looks, why not discuss ways in which we have.

How do we try to improve our body's health? And How do we try to make ourselves look better and maintaining our physical beauty? Any advice, tips secrets?

Exersize, Eat well, be yourself.

I only get fake tattoos done for special occasions...

I agree eat lots of fruit and veg instead of chocolate and you shouldn't have as many spots also wash regular.
I have to say I love chocolate though.

Drink plennnnnnnnnnty of water, good for the skin and makes you feel fresher than soft drinks, fruit juice is good too.

Oh and don't do drugs

Curl your eyelashes, pressing firmly for about 5 seconds. Apply your mascara, sweeping the brush out to the side (towards your ear). This makes your lashes look longer and nicer

I don't do alcohol, drugs, anything like that, and I ahve them
Make sure you get sleep, because that's what gives me mine I reckon... I get hardly any sleep...

this is good advice

Another thing, keep nail varnish in the fridge, it stops it separating.

Hair straighteners work wonders. It makes your hair look shinier and less prone to frizziness. To help lock in shine after you use it on a section of your hair, twist your hair and leave it that way until you finnish also apply a de-frizzer.

Also I'd have to stress eating a more balanced meal instead of fad diets or low fat diets. Not only is it easier to stay on but it's healthier. Cut back on soda and sweets but don't deny yourself them, it doesn't hurt to consume them once in a while. If you make a food off limits, you want it even more.

Exercise, which of course is a given. It doesn't have to be tiresome to work, also you don't have to spend hours a day doing it as long as your regularly active and eat right. I've had great results from working out 3-4 days per week for only 20 minutes a day.

Use moisturizer before applying make-up because it helps it glide on smoother and makes your skin soft.

Black circles under the eyes can also be caused from thin skin, which the skin under the eyes is naturally thin and thins more with age. Vitamin k and concealer helps to aid this.

I'm naturally beautiful so I have no tips. Sorry

for rough feet apply a lot of vaseline and wear socks to bed.

It is slippery be careful.

Also eat a lot of fruits and veggies.

Get a brown bag. And wear it Sorry i don't have any. Just remember shaving every day

look like me

I find that you can easily make yourself appear more attractive, simply be standing next to someone who is exceptionally ugly.

lol thats a good idea

Shadowsleet, LOL!! Daam your funny!!

I think that is the best advice so far lol

I have one for legs, I've noticed that when I take a hot bath and stay for a little while my legs are smoother when I shave, I've also notice that when I do it in not so hot water and I shave I have like little bumbs? dont know if that's the word I was looking for.
I do try to use a shave cream with aloe for sensitive skin

It's not really a secret, but the Schick Intuition razor is friggin brilliant. It looks ridiculous with the stupid bar of soap attached to it, but it works really well.

I only drink milk...
My kidneys shouldn't be working hard at all

Just a simple thing really... take a shower everyday... heck even some days I take a couple depending on what I am doing. You will look better and you will feel a ton better to.

Drink lots of water, smile since it causes less wrinkles..and use Noxema,or Phisoderm ..these products have been round as long as I can remember.. Dont use drugs, and dont stay in the tanning bed for too many years..Tans look great, but its aged me..If I were to do it all over again, I would have never got in one..just sun is good enough..

I run cross country, I get in about 30 miles a week. I suggest running distance, even though you may hate it at first like I did, but it's really an all body work out. Start by running one mile, and when you get your time down to 6:40 on good days, run two, then three, etc...

I also drink like half a gallon of water a day. That really really helps. And be sure to increase your carb intake because you burn tons of it when you run. You lose about half a pound of water for every mile, I believe...

I usually run about a 7:00 mile as a warm up, stretch for about ten minutes, drink some water and let it settle, then it's about 5 miles, nice and slow.

But don't run too much too fast, you will develop painful shin splints that will not go away for an eternity... In fact, I have a shin splint on my left leg now. Another thing, be sure to do 'toe lifts'. It's kind of like leg lifts, except with your toes. If your feet are not strong enough when you start running, the area between the bone and the muscle all along your lower leg will get inflamed. The muscle will then proceed to seperate from the bone and it will hurt like crap.


Running cross country makes you beautiful!!!

That is helpfull eveningsky339! I do cross country every winter, but I never keep it up for the whole year. I am going to start doing it properly now, whilst improving my sprinting abilities more.. I hate running at the slow pace I use to run in cross country!

As for drinking, I have 3 litres every day. And I sleep well - go to bed at 10:30 - 11 pm, and wake up at 8 - 9

my health/beauty routine goes like this:
wake up at 6:30 am, do 10 sit ups
have a low fat breakkie which has to have atleast 1 piece of fruit and a green tea (no sugar)
wash face, brush teeth and har, don't use anything in hair, don't wear any make-up
go to school and spend most of the day walking up and down stairs (my school is built on a hill) have salad for lunch
get home at 4:30 and either take my dog for a 5km walk or go to work.
practice my karate for about an hour (or if it's a tuesday, train for 2 hours)
have a REALLY healthy dinner (with lotsa veggies)
take a shower (use soap free products and moisterizing hair stuff)
wash face again, brush teeth and go to bed at about 10:30pm.

that has been my usual daily routine for a while, and i haven't needed a doctor since i started

you could improve on your sleep lol.. and maybe eat other things in your meals rather than just a lot of veggies/ salads. gotta have protien - Meat!!

lol! forgot to add meat i basically eat all the meat, cereals, fruit, veges, dairy products needed for a balanced diet

Get atleast 8 hours of sleep every night.

I heard that if you change your shampoo once every two weeks that it helps your hair. Also use a clarifying shampoo to get rid of build up. Follow with a conditioner.

I personally use Daily Renewal 5X. It does wonders for a person with dry hair.

My hair is course,dry, thick,and curly,and needs this special attn.

That is just a myth. If you are using a good shampoo and conditioner then you will not have to switch it unless your hair needs change. Often a lot of the "over the counter" shampoos (the ones you can buy at the drug store) build up on the hair and that is why you feel that you have to clarify. I advise going to a professional and ask them what is the best professional shampoo for your hair type.

Here's an oldie, but cheap goody...rinse you hair in a tablespoon of vinegar mixed with a cup of water every two or three shampoos. It takes all the buildup of hairspray, gels, whatever off and leaves your hair shiny.

No need for expensive clarifiers.

That again falls under getting a good shampoo to begin with. If you can't get the build up of styling products off your hair than lather twice. If you are still having problems than you need to switch styling products. Vinegar is not good for the hair and can dry it out.

I should mention that I am a licenced cosmetologist.

Oh well, everybody that I've told about it has complained that I didn't tell them sooner. *shrugs*

Just trying to give some professional advice.

professional advice??? how is Michelle's advice Not professional?? Now her advice is a good beauty secret.. a good shampoo however .. nothing new or cost free there!

I am sorry, I did not read that it was "cost free" advice you were looking for. I am not trying to be mean to anybody. I just like to help people take care of their hair and skin not only for now, but also for the future, that's why I went to school to do what I do. we have our bodies for the rest of our lives and what we do to it now will effect it later. I am sorry if anybody found me offensive, that was not my intension.

I do 60 push-ups a day....
Just for fun...
And 120 or so sit ups...

I used to do them after meditating.. but meditating hasn't been availailable lately...
I'm getting too much homework...

first.

the problems is that ppl want to be beautifuls.
but the REAL beauty actually inside of us!!!!!
ppl are stupid.

Theres not one human being I've met that actually goes by that saying.

I also heard that a drop of vegetable oil is good for heavy hair (or any), I could be wrong though.

WOW. i never heard before!!!!

omg. I HAVE LONG HEAVY HARE!!!!!
tis for me?


of course you can. fact remains... ppl need no makeup. Yes.

mother earth or mother evolutn. da.. girl wit big bangs etc
or god make us like what we are. Yes.

but yOu go and use them oils.

For those of our friends who are a little chunky, or over-curvy, here's my tip. All you have to do is identify what parts of you you would like to tone, and constantly keep that area flexed. Eventually that area will loose fat and build muscle. Believe me, it works. Enjoy

*Kismit consentrates realy hard on her butt.....


Nu-uh Arsenik, It's still there.....


My beauty secret is , be comfortable in your own skin, and be healthy. I don't believe I have ever seen, an ugly person who excersises and eats well.
I excersise with Netball and Tae Kwon Do, weekl. Allthough, with a martial art you can train even if you only have 5 minutes.

Also I believe in the power that is Oil of Olay.

I never said it would be immediate. It will take some time to work, but it does not require a lot of sweating or any schedual changes.

Eat 1-3 ounces of PURE atleast 80% Cocoa per day.

My word! What could that accomplish?

It has special minerals in it they triggers chemicles in the body that makes you healthier, notice the PURE DARK CHOCOLATE, not milk or white... Oh whoops, went to say Chocolate ^^

OK, I thought you ment cooking cocoa.

Actually, this is what I do for a living. Cocoa does contain anti-oxidents, but so do fresh fruit and vegies. They also taste better than straight cocoa, and don't contain the fat of chocolate. So still the arguement stands for eating properly.
