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!

Mind you my outfit helped to – very sexy without being over the top and how to look sexy without looking a tart, is the subject of the next article in this series.

For now increase female sex appeal with the above simple tips and go and knock them dead!

Watch Your Weight This Halloween

keithy — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 14:13:53 +0000

For those of us looking for quick weight loss, Halloween can be a scary experience! While just one night of indulgence in Halloween candy might not be enough to break your belt, dipping into the leftover stockpile for weeks on end will surely derail your diet or weight loss program.

In 1921, in Anoka, MN, the United States enjoyed our first recorded instance of a Halloween celebration. Annual candy consumption has climbed almost unabated since then. According to the Census Bureau, Americans eat nearly a half-pound of candy each week for an average of 25 pounds of candy a year. Candy is big business, with the United States boasting 1,040 manufacturing establishments producing chocolate and cocoa products in 2001. These establishments employed 45,913 people and shipped $12 billion worth of goods that year. Another 616 U.S. establishments manufactured non-chocolate confectionery products in 2001. These establishments employed 26,400 people and shipped $7 billion worth of goods that year (source: census.gov).

The overwhelming popularity of the South Beach Diet, Zone Diet, and Atkins Diet has prompted low-carb weight watchers to eat less candy. Overall consumption has actually declined over the last few years; as recently as 1997 the average annual candy consumption was a sky-high 27 pounds.

The Problem:
Most people on a diet plan or weight control program look at candy as little brightly-colored fat bombs. That assessment isn’t far off the mark, either, with most candy packing little nutritional value and a ton of calories.

Some of the more popular Halloween candy has too many calories to be included in any healthy diet:
Twizzlers 1 treat size pkg.= 45 calories
Almond Joy 1 snack size bar = 90 calories
Milk Duds 1 treat size box = 40 calories
Butterfinger 1 snack size bar = 100 calories
Milky Way 1 snack size bar = 90 calories
SweetTarts 1 treat size pkg. = 50 calories
1 Tootsie Pop 1 pop = 60 calories
1 Tootsie Roll 1 small roll = 13 calories

Note: Calorie content is based on 1 serving of Halloween ’snack’ or ‘fun’ size packages, not full size servings found in the candy aisle.

While just a few pieces of Halloween candy won’t obliterate your diet program or weight loss plan, it’s the temptation to keep having ‘just one more’ that will pack on the pounds. It only takes nine small fun-size candy bars to put on a quarter-pound of fat. Besides candy, Halloween threatens many other high-calorie treats like Caramel apples (243 calories), 8-oz. apple cider and a cake donut (319 calories), or a slice of pumpkin pie (240 calories).

The Solution:
Is it possible to cope with the menace of Halloween candy without taking all the fun out of the holiday? Absolutely! If you’re looking for fast weight loss, and don’t want Halloween to bring your fat loss to a screeching halt, consider these healthy Halloween tips:

1. Walk with your kids while they’re trick-or-treating. A 165-lb. woman strolling along (walking slowly) for one hour will burn approximately 150 calories (source: caloriesperhour.com).
2. Out of sight, out of mind. When the kids have unloaded their stash, store it in an airtight container and put it in the cupboard. A bowl full of candy on the counter is an open invitation to have ‘just one’, but a stockpile you can’t see is less tempting.
3. If you’re going to give out candy to trick-or-treaters on Halloween, don’t buy it until October 31st. Having a candy supply in the house before Halloween only entices you to have some early.
4. If you must buy candy before Halloween, buy a kind you don’t like. Again, this will reduce the temptation for you to dig in.
5. Hosting a Halloween party? Supply vegetables, healthy dips, and low fat snacking alternatives instead of candy.
6. Set a Halloween candy deadline by which all Halloween candy must be either consumed (by the kids) or it will be thrown away. Saving that candy for weeks, or even months, only keeps temptation in the house.
7. Put more emphasis on dressing up in a great costume, and less on candy. This is especially true for the kids, who often view Halloween as a candy free-for-all dream come true.
8. By hosting a party on Halloween night, you can control the menu and have fun with friends at the same time.
9. Focus on Halloween activities other than eating. There are lots of options available, from hayrides to haunted houses to bonfires.
10. Candy has a long shelf life, and there’s no reason why you couldn’t put some of it in airtight bags and store it in the freezer. Allow the kids to take out one bag every two weeks until it’s gone. This tactic will at least space out the temptation and minimize candy binge eating.

Of course, the absolute best way to avoid weight gain, and perhaps even achieve some easy weight loss, during the Halloween season is to bump up the amount of exercise you’re getting. There’s no better way to lose weight fast than a healthy diet and regular exercise.

Make sure the workout you’re doing includes both aerobic and resistance training, as it is critical to get both types of exercise to maximize weight loss. It’s also important to exercise for at least thirty minutes, three times per week, which is the most recent recommendation by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (source: cdc.gov).

A fantastic strategy is to find the best weight loss program for you now, before Halloween hits. The reason is that the last three months of the year are packed with holidays, special dinners and seasonal treats. Starting with Halloween candy and ending with Christmas fudge, many people find that they’re packing on more pounds during this period than they do any other time of year.

Joining a gym is an excellent way to combat Halloween and holiday weight gain. Finding a good gym to join now will not only help keep off those holiday pounds, but will even make you slimmer by New Years.
