Being overweight isnâ??t just hazardous to your health. Studies show that most people who have weight disorders lack self-confidence and have trouble achieving their goals. In a world where looks are very important a good weight loss system can be a life savior for many people. There are hundreds of ways to lose extra weight, the problem is finding the one that works for you and not damaging your health. Exercise is unanimously considered to be an efficient and healthy way to lose those extra pounds. Exercise can be done both outdoors and indoors. You can choose one of the dozens of types of exercises, depending on what you like best and what part of your body you need to shape up. Thereâ??s no doubt about it: the benefits of a good work out are immense. However, of youâ??re not drawn to the idea of making regular physical effort, there are plenty other solutions out there. Whether itâ??s a weight loss diet or a melt belt, you have many options to choose from.

A good weight loss diet can do wonders for your body. But how can you tell if a diet is right for you and your body? With so many diets out there itâ??s hard to know which one will actually work for you. A diet that works for a person when trying to reduce weight might not work for another because of the significant metabolic differences. As a general rule, you should try to avoid any crash diets because they can be hazardous to your health and donâ??t offer any long-term results. Diets can be generally placed into four basic categories: low fat, low carbohydrate, high protein and vegetarian. Each weight loss diet has its own pros and cons. A low fat diet involves reducing your fat intake and therefore bringing your body into shape. People who have no success with a low fat diet usually turn to a high protein or low carbohydrate diet. High protein diets are often used by athletes because they help develop the muscle mass. Studies show that vegetarians tend to be slimmer than non-vegetarians and therefore the vegetarian diet is constantly growing in popularity.

Weight loss is closely related to our living and eating habits. A healthy body will respond much better to a weight loss diet than one with health disorders. Smoking, alcohol, irregular meals and lack of sleep affect our health and favor obesity. Healthy eating habits and regular meals keep our body in shape and prevent us from gaining extra weight. For instance, it is highly recommended that you drink as much water as possible to keep in shape. Smaller portions of food are essential to losing weight so to should get accustomed to reducing your meals if you want to have results. The most important meal of the day is at midday when you should eat the most. Vegetables, fruits, grams, nuts, brown rice, fish and cereals should be on your daily menu. The key to a healthy diet is balancing your proteins, carbohydrates and vitamins without starving yourself.

Obesity is one of the biggest health-related problems the world is facing today. Millions of people are unsatisfied with their appearance and are at risk because of their extra weight. A proper weight loss diet can be the solution to many problems and the beginning of a healthy life. Another excellent weight loss method is using a melt belt. At themeltbelt.com you will find much more information on how to start dropping those extra pounds.

41)       What is the recovery time for Facial Liposuction?

Recovery from Facial Liposuction is a relatively short process. Patients who have their under chin, jowls, or neck treated with Liposuction can expect to experience mild discomfort with some bruising or swelling. This should subside in about seven-to-ten days. Patients may require a few stitches to close the opening made by the cannula (the tube used to break up and remove fatty tissue). Most Facial Liposuction patients return to normal activities within one week and experience the full benefits of surgery within a three-to-six month period.

BODY CONTOUR LIPOSUCTION

42)       Liposuction of the Abdomen. How effective is it?

Liposuction is very effective for shaping the abdominal area in men and women. The lower abdomen in particular tends to be resistant to diet and exercise, making even the most fit and active individuals insecure about their appearance. Pregnancy and cesarean births can have a disfiguring effect on the lower abdomen, which diet and exercise cannot correct. Most abdominal fat is located directly beneath the skin (subcutaneous), and can easily be removed through Liposuction procedures. However, fat that is located deep in the abdomen (between the intestines – most common in men) cannot be removed with Liposuction because of the increased risk of severe complications.

43)       Liposuction of the Flanks. Where my flanks are located?

Flanks, also known as love handles, are located just above the belt line on the sides and back. Liposuction can greatly improve the appearance of flanks and reduce the amount of fat that bulges over the belt.

44)       Liposuction of the Hips. Is it recommended for men?

Liposuction of the hips is generally successful in creating a more contoured figure. This type of Liposuction is usually performed on female hips as men are not as susceptible to retaining fat deposits in this area. The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia. Patients who undergo Liposuction to improve the appearance of the hips may require additional procedures to attain the desired contour.

45)       Liposuction of the Buttocks.  Can buttock Liposuction be performed with buttock lift?

Since the normal aging process affects the firmness and elasticity of the skin, older patients may not achieve quite the same results as younger patients. Buttocks Liposuction is often performed in conjunction with a buttocks lift or with thigh Liposuction. It is important to remember when considering Liposuction that shaping the buttocks is more important than reducing the size. Excess removal of fatty tissue in the buttocks can result in an asymmetrical, lumpy, or sagging appearance. The buttocks serve the functional purpose of acting as a soft cushion on which to sit, and are also important in the overall aesthetic appearance of the body. Surgeons should approach Liposuction of the buttocks with the subtle touch of an artist, and should always use a micro-cannula, not more than three millimeters (1/8 inch) in diameter.

46)       What are the other parts of the body treatable with Liposuction?

Liposuction of the Thighs

Liposuction of the entire thigh (circumferential Liposuction) is not recommended due to an increase in swelling and extended recovery time. Liposuction of the thighs should be performed in a series of surgeries spaced about one month apart. Focusing the Liposuction on one targeted area of the hips allows the lymphatic tissue to drain excess fluids quickly and evenly throughout the thigh, yielding more desirable results in a shorter amount of time. The above is common practice in the US, in Colombia, plastic surgeons in most cases will do the entire thigh.

Liposuction of the Arms

Liposuction of the arms has a high rate of patient satisfaction. Liposuction of the arms yields a slimmer appearance that can give the rest of the body a more contoured look.

Liposuction of the Tummy

Liposuction of the tummy is a very common procedure for both men and women. It is especially useful in patients who have already lost excess weight through diet and exercise. Liposuction can, in many cases, be the only successful method of eliminating stubborn fat deposits that remain in the tummy and flank region.

Liposuction of the Breasts

Enlarged breasts in women can cause back pain, neck pain, headaches, and poor self esteem. Liposuction is a more effective and less invasive method of breast reduction than other forms of breast reduction surgery. Using Liposuction to remove excess fat has a natural lifting effect on the breast because it results in less volume weighing it down. I personally have not seeing very good results of breast Liposuction

Male Breast Liposuction

Liposuction can also be used as a form of breast reduction in men, but several important factors must be considered first. The surgeon must determine whether the excess tissue in the breast is fatty or glandular. If the breast is primarily fatty tissue, then Liposuction is an excellent method for reducing the size and improving the appearance of the chest.

If a man’s breasts are enlarged with glandular tissue, Liposuction is not an option and other hormonal or medication therapies should be pursued. If the breasts are asymmetrical or oddly shaped, the patient should be examined for possible tumors prior to any surgical intervention. A mammogram is the most effective method for detecting tumors and the possible presence of male breast cancer.

ABDOMINAL LIPOSUCTION (SUCTION ASSISTED LIPECTOMY)

47)       What is an Abdominal Liposuction?

One of the most common of all cosmetic procedures, abdominal Liposuction is a technique for re-contouring the body by permanently removing fat deposits from the abdomen. The tendency to accumulate fat in the abdomen (stomach area) may be inherited, and this fat is often especially resistant to diet and exercise. Many patients become discouraged at having lost unwanted pounds without seeing a flatter abdomen. A common complaint is that exercise is just “not making my stomach flatter”, or after months of exercise and overall improvement there has been no change in the waistline. Simply put, the overall proportions of the body may be unbalanced, or the abdomen may simply have retained areas of fatty tissue that cause it to protrude. In these cases, Liposuction can successfully trim excess fat in the abdomen for a flatter stomach or a thinner waistline, thus achieving a more slender, balanced shape.

48)       What are some of the most common benefits of abdominal Liposuction?

A newly trim abdomen can provide a psychological lift and an extra incentive to exercise regularly and maintain fitness. Many patients even find physical activity more pleasurable after shedding extra fat, and they also find that clothes tend to fit better.

49)       Can Liposuction of the abdomen endanger a pregnancy in any way?

No. There are no problems in being pregnant after a Liposuction of the abdomen. The small scars are final but, if treated properly (correct suturing, massage, lymphatic drainage), they are usually not very evident

50)       Can I have abdominal Liposuction done with Tummy tuck?

Yes, Abdominal Liposuction is often performed in conjunction with a tummy tuck, or with Liposuction to other parts of the body.

51)       How is the abdominal Liposuction performed?

Before surgery, the surgeon will mark the precise areas of the body where the fat is to be removed. An intravenous (IV) line will be used to make sure the fluid level in your body stays within healthy limits throughout the procedure. If you are not undergoing general anesthesia, you may be given a sedative for relaxation. During the procedure, the surgeon makes a tiny incision in the skin, typically in the navel or just below the bikini line, and inserts a thin tube called a cannula into the fatty area. The cannula is used to break up the fat deposits and sculpt the area to the desired proportions. The unwanted fat is removed with a powerful vacuum, leaving the skin, muscles, nerves, and blood vessels intact. There are different techniques used for Liposuction, your doctor will decided what technique is best for you and you type of Liposuction.

52)       How long does the abdominal Liposuction procedure take?

On average, the procedure takes 1-2 hours per area treated. Full body Lipo can take as much as 6 hours.

53)       Will I need to stay in a hospital?

If the amount of fat to be removed is fairly small, your surgery can usually be performed on an outpatient basis, either in your doctor’s office or in an outpatient surgery clinic. If you are having large amounts of fat removed, or are undergoing several procedures at once, you may need to spend the night in the hospital so that medical staff can monitor your initial recovery. The procedure may be performed under local anesthesia with light sedation, local anesthesia and deep sedation, or general anesthesia.

54)       How long do the results last for abdominal lipoplasty (Liposuction)?

Because a portion of the fat cells are permanently removed by Liposuction, you will not tend to regain weight in that area. It is important to note, however, that abdominal Liposuction does not guarantee that you won’t gain weight or fat deposits in other areas of your body. Be careful, since fat cells have been removed from the treatment site but not from surround areas, this weight gain can appear uneven. It is important to maintain your weight and contour with exercise and proper diet.

BUTTOCK/HIP LIPOSUCTION

55)       What are some of the most common benefits of buttock Liposuction?

A newly trim lower body can provide a psychological lift and an extra incentive to exercise regularly to maintain fitness. Many patients even find physical activity more pleasurable after shedding extra fat, and they also find that clothes tend to fit them better.

56)       What will happen at my initial consultation?

During the consultation, you’ll be able to talk to your doctor about the changes you would like to make in your appearance. The plastic surgeon will explain the different options available to you, the procedure itself, its risks and limitations, and the costs. Your surgeon will begin with a physical examination to evaluate your overall weight, your skin and muscle tone, and the fat deposits in various parts of your body. The cosmetic surgeon will also record your complete medical history, including any medications that you are currently taking. Your doctor will probably ask you questions about your diet & weight history.

If you are just concerned about removing fat, Liposuction alone will achieve that goal. But if you want an athletic, sculpted look, and you want to look great in a bikini, you may need to incorporate extensive exercise into your plan. Be sure to ask all the questions you have about the procedure, and ask to see photos of the doctor’s recent Liposuction surgeries, before and after treatment. Also ask for, and follow up on, patient references. Learning everything you can about your options, risks and benefits is the key to making an informed decision.

57)       How is buttocks Liposuction performed?

Before buttock Liposuction surgery, the plastic surgeon will mark the precise areas of the body where the fat is to be removed. An intravenous (IV) line will be inserted in your arm to make sure the fluid level in your body remains in balance. You or your doctor may opt for general anesthesia, or you may be local anesthesia and a sedative for relaxation.

During the procedure, the surgeon makes a tiny incision in the skin, typically in or near the buttock crease, and inserts a thin tube called a cannula into the fatty area. The cannula is used to break up the fat deposits and sculpt the area to the desired proportions. The unwanted fat is suctioned out with a powerful vacuum, leaving the skin, muscles, nerves, and blood vessels intact.

58)       Will I need to stay in a hospital?

If you have no medical problems, the procedure can be performed on an outpatient basis, either in your doctor’s office or in an outpatient clinic. It may be performed under local anesthesia with light sedation, local anesthesia and deep sedation, or general anesthesia. The longer the procedure is expected to take, the more likely that general anesthesia will be recommended. You may be allowed to return home within a few hours of the surgery, and spend the night in the comfort of your own home. If you have other medical problems, concurrent procedures, or a lengthier procedure performed under general anesthesia, it may be necessary to spend the night in the hospital so your recovery process can be monitored by a medical staff.

59)       What can I expect afterward?

For a day or two, you can expect to feel tired, as though your body has been through a hard workout – and it has! Your hips and legs will be stiff and sore and you may experience some pain, burning, swelling, bleeding or temporary numbness. Your doctor can prescribe medication to relieve this initial discomfort.

Sometimes a small drainage tube is inserted under the skin to drain excess fluid. Your doctor may prescribe an antibiotic ointment to prevent infection at the incision sites. Your stitches will be removed in a week to 10 days, unless they dissolve on their own. You will be fitted with a tight compression garment to be worn for up to 8 weeks after your surgery. This specially designed garment will help reduce pain and swelling, and help your body settle into its new shape. Wearing the girdle for the right amount of time can count for as much as 40% of the surgeries success.

60)       What is the long-term outcome like for most people?

You should see the visible results of your surgery within two or three weeks, but the full effects may not be evident for six months to a year. The more fat you have removed, the longer it takes for your skin to adapt to the change in shape.

Most people are pleased with their new contour, and often feel a boost in energy and self-confidence. Although Liposuction cannot alter skin quality or muscle tone and should not be a substitute for regular exercise and a balanced diet, your buttocks will always be slimmer than they would be if you hadn’t had this procedure.

Part 2 of this article shows you hw to dress casually and gives more tips on smart casual.

When meeting your date keep in mind first impressions count and the above guidelines will definitely help you make the right impression.

- For Spring & Summer

* Color

Men’s clothing for the spring & summer season has made its mark with the presence of color. There is a strong blue influence which replicates David Hockney paintings during his splash period in the 1960s, and the introduction of pink.

Men’s fashion is having a pink moment in 2008, therefore, defining your masculinity has become more of a challenge this summer. This not-so-typical color sorts the men from the boys, as it takes guts and skill to wear; requiring men to make a modern color statement whilst still maintaining a masculine edge. This can be done by keeping cuts and fabrics very traditional and teaming it with neutral shades, such as white, beige, gray or black.

In addition to being “In the Pink”, the fashion industry is also feeling blue this season. Not the dark navy kind, but the azure blue of David Hockney’s Splash, pool paintings. From Louis Vuitton’s head-to-toe azure Moon Beach collection, on the spring runways to Hockney-inspired Missoni shirts, Hockneyed-Splash sweatshirts, to azure-colored cargo pants and suits. Feeling blue has never been so on-trend.

* Style

In this season, men to wear a dress shirt with a tie for business is suitable for almost all circumstances. In some offices, or outdoor work sites, short sleeves may be appropriate. Look at the example set by your supervisor and respected colleagues. If these people wear short sleeves, then it may be okay in that situation…

When dressing to impress, do not follow the standard of the office non-conformist. Sleeves can always be rolled up if necessary.

Collars come in different styles, usually a normal pointed collar and a spread collar. Spread collars are newer and show a contemporary fashion. The spread accents the tie, and therefore look better with a wider tie. Some shirts have different color collars than the shirt which appears bolder.

Men’s Hoodies make a welcome return as they have been reinvented to form an integral part of your wardrobe rather than a casual cover-up. With some innovative styling this season, hoodies have evolved to become a substitute for a blazer or cardigan, matching your ensemble and being classy enough to take you from beach to bar. Hoodies have become sophisticated enough to be street-savvy garments, layer them over a tee or shirt, or be more adventurous and go for a Juicy Couture hooded leather jacket or an OntFront Sidewalk Tailoring hooded blazer.

On the subject of swimming pools, another look du jour is the combination of trunks as shorts. Wear them as both; saving you that fashion dilemma of having to wear shorts over trunks. Offerings come from labels such as Thom Browne, ADAM, Opening Ceremony, and Shipley & Halmos who have pairs that can be easily teamed with a more formal shirt or blazer.

This is also the season of the lightweight-knit, be it revamped hoody or button-up cardigan. Men also have one less choice to make when it comes to swimming, by throwing on a pair of combi shorts and trunks.

* Men’s Fashion Accessories

Underwears – In the 13th century underwear became an important piece of apparel, and like most fashions, the thong and g-string reappeared in the 1970s on the beaches of Brazil. Unlike the Khoisans of 75,000 years ago, today’s male consumers enjoy a vast array of styles, fabrics and colours to choose from. The evolution of underwear has shaped how we feel and how we look today.

Aside from the above, sitting poolside requires some additional accessories. Nautical caps and deck shoes are right on-trend, so are blue and white manbags. Accessorize your outfit with some fashion-forward, round-saucer shades — David Hockney-inspired eyewear or John Lennon frames.

* Special Tips for Men who has a Big Stomach

- Go for light fabrics and dark colors if you want to slimline your torso.

- Use a belt to nip in your waistline. As long as your stomach does not hang over, contrary to what you might think, this will make you appear slimmer.

- For an instant slimming effect, go monochromatic. Wear a dark color shirt/top and pants with a different color blazer or jacket over the top.

- Horizontal stripes are your enemy rather than your friend. Vertical stripes (although not too wide) will elongate your body, but diagonal ones will also draw attention to your torso, having a widening effect. Pinstripe shirts can be slimming, especially when teamed with dark color pants.

- Large, busy prints in shirts and tees will only serve to accentuate your stomach. According to The Style Bible, look for a smaller (but not too small) print, which is spaced quite a way apart.

- Avoid bulky knits and go for something more slimming like a dark-colored cashmere sweater.

- Long-sleeve T-shirts and shirts will make your body look more proportioned than sleeveless or short-sleeves, which will draw attention to your middle.

- For Fall & Winter

Fall is one of the most exciting seasons for men’s fashion in that it presents a great deal of variety – the cooling weather and tendency towards warmer and more classic colours can present a challenge that we’ll have to examine in order to find a wardrobe that fits the change of seasons.

Color

Traditionally, an eye for colour will benefit any gentleman concerned with style. In Fall 2009, look for browns, blues, and especially shades of orange – orange having made a surprise comeback in recent years that shows no sign of stopping in the near future. When matching colours, remember that most blues, especially lighter to medium hues such as baby blue or french blue, pair extremely well with brown tones – strange but true!

A brown leather jacket would be a premium recommendation in that brown brings a distinct note of style into your overall look and seperates you from the legions of men who simply always opt for the severe looking, and much more common, black jacket. A chocolate brown leather simply ages more gracefully than its darker cousin, and adds a vintage flair.

Style

From sharp-suited silks, to pants following a Balinese, Malaysian and Inidian style, the next year’s collection will be filled with unstructured jackets, loose drawstring and cropped dhoti-style pants.

Men’s wear should feeling casual and relaxed for next season, there is still the air of opulence associated with the label. Jackets in ivory crocodile and chenille cardigans for the torso, sleek silk trousers, and jackets set off with silk handkerchiefs, all are distinctly deluxe in look.

Brown also co-ordinates much better with most jeans, sweaters, and shirts that will be presented to you in the cooler seasons. and a  french blue dress or sport shirt is not only a staple piece of any wardrobe of merit, but will serve you in wonderful stead in a variety of social occasions ranging from a casual date at the local watering hole, a stroll in the park (when coupled with jeans and the aforementioned leather coat), or a high-pressure job interview.

As leather jackets are a forever classical style, so in 2009, leather will still act as one of the most popular fabrics in the fashion industry. A soft, supple material that conforms to the curve’s of a person’s body, leather has a natural sex appeal that is unmatched by any other fabric. Leather is a favorite among the fashion industry, models and musicians.

Given the durability factors, along with the classic, stylish look of leather and the comparative low cost of either, no wonder this item has not only survived as a fashion statement through out history but has also remained a practical choice with universal appeal. So men to choose a motorcycle or bomber jacket can get a feeling that you are never go out of style.

Accessories

As for accessories, one piece of clothing that immediately springs to mind would be a scarf, worn rather rakishly in the earlier months of fall or perhaps more pragmatically during the bitter cold of a northern winter! Scarves can add a level of distinction and personality to a wardrobe that is often afforded to the wearer via a necktie – it is a centerpiece of the outerwear collection and is something that immediately catches the eye of the passerby.

A wool or cotton scarf is recommended, as silk tends to look rather foppish or effete when worn by most men – and as for colour, the primary suggestion is to either find a tone in the scarf that would tie in nicely with your most commonly worn coat, or simply a scarf that catches your eye and that you rather like. Remember, when it comes to accessories such as scarves and neckties, they are showcases for your sense of style and personality – choose accordingly! Scarves are draped around the waist as belts, or slung casually over the shoulders. Shoes also followed a distinctly Asian style with lace-ups, woven hopsack, snakeskin, and crocodile.

* Great Costume Ideas for Guys on Halloween or a Christmas Carnival

At last ,as the Halloween and Christmas season is coming soon, if you want to get noticed at a fancy dress party,  I’d like to give men some special ideas about costumes for men.

Ghostbuster Costume

A great costume idea for a group of guys who can argue over which one of them gets to be Ray, Peter, Winston or Egon. Grey boiler suits are the starting point. High-end costumers will have proton packs for hire, but an improvised version using backpacks/old drinks bottles and a super soaker can be effective. A new Ghostbusters video game is about to be released, so purchasing Ghostbuster accessories should become easier.

Celebrity Lookalike Costume

For the partygoer who bears more than a striking resemblance to a celebrity ,the lookalike costume is a good choice and will be sure to generate discussion. If the partygoer does not look like anyone famous then they can try some of the more visually recognisable celebs for example

Superhero Costume

Is it a bird, is it a plane? No It’s someone dressed as a superhero on the dance floor. Superhero costumes are easy to find, cheap to hire and always guaranteed to raise a smile. Popular superhero costumes are.

Astronaut Costume

If the partygoer has the money, then the space suit is quite simply the most show-stopping of all the costumes. Generally this costume requires a large rental fee and on top of that a substantial deposit.

Cowboy Costume

Another costume that is very popular with women is the cowboy outfit. It’s quite common, so the wearer should add some unique touches to the costume such as a sheriff’s badge or a wacky colour scheme. The cowboy costume will be available from most fancy dress suppliers.

Sailor Dress Uniform Costume

With its bright white colour, this costume is great for parties that may be using UV lighting. The wearer will stand out from the crowd and will be seen from the other side of the room with ease. Due to its apperances in An Officer and a Gentleman and Top Gun , this costume seems to be very popular with women.

Chippendale Costume

This costume is not suitable for outdoor events that are prone to poor weather. The Chippendale outfit requires only a bow tie, some black trousers and a lot of confidence. The more adventurous partygoer should carry baby oil with them for chest oiling opportunities.

Research has shown what men like in women and what they view as increasing sex appeal.

Here we will use this knowledge to our advantage to enhance our looks in several areas to make you a sex goddess in an instant!

Breasts

Men like pert breasts, they are a sign of youth and fertility and you don’t need to go under the knife and have a boob job to get them!

It’s a Fact that 8 out of 10 women wear the wrong bra size!

Go for a bra that fits properly and lifts and supports to make your breast firm and irresistible and there are plenty of up-lift bras these days to choose from so find the best one for you.

Waist and Hips

Men simply love the right waist to hips ratio and the right one in terms of sex appeal is 0.7 (waist divided by hips). This is the ideal but of course, this is quite slim and were not all stick insects (or don’t want to be!) so lets cheat.

We need to wear the right cloths to achieve this and the best way is to use a belt and a single colour (single colours make you look slimmer and black is the best colour for this). Match this with a belt, to bring your waist line in and make men look at your breasts and hips.

Big wide belts are in and there ideal, so add them to your wardrobe.

Eyes

The window to the soul and what man can resist nice eyes?

There alluring and appealing and the bigger the pupil the better, the fact is eyes tell us about desire and when we see someone we fancy our pupils dilate.

Large eyes show you’re interested and are very sexy so how do you make them bigger? Simple – the best way is to create darkness around the eye (the Smokey eyed look) by using dark colours on the lids. The pupils will stand out more so use some eye liner and mascara to finish and highlight.

Face

Good clear skin is a must!

Many women simply use too much make-up and you must avoid this, men are generally attracted to a natural look so that’s what you need to focus on.

Use good foundation to disguise any blemishes and take time to get the right one which is compatible with your skin tone. Then use blusher to finish.

Get plenty of water 2 -3 litres a day as within 48 hours it can make your skin look more radiant very quickly and it’s a fact 50% of women don’t get enough water.

Lips

Men like lips for obvious reasons and a pout and big full lips are sexy.

Many women go under the knife and go for collagen and having fuller lips is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries at present, everyone wants lips like Angelina Jolie! There is however a simple cheat:

All you need to do is take your lip liner slightly wider than your lips and you create an optical illusion of fuller lips. Be careful not to overdo this, as go to far and it simply wont look natural.

Legs

High heels are quite simply one of the biggest turn ons for men and they are guaranteed to make your legs look better. Why?

Because they create the optical illusion of a taller longer legged women and at the same time push out the bottom. So you can get out the killer heels but if you don’t want to do this all day start to wear high waist jeans or skirts as they will also make your legs look longer.

I read the above in a popular magazine and had been after a man in my local bar for ages he never really paid me much attention before but I used some of the above and a killer outfit and hey presto – Result!
