Do your girls hang low, do they wobble to and fro? A good question indeed, especially if you are working towards achieving your dream body. No one can truly concentrate on a workout if they are enduring their melons performing a rendition of wheels of the bus go round and round. Furthermore, most ladies would be shocked to know that they are in fact NOT wearing the right size sports bra. Therefore, why should this be addressed and what are some quick tips in order to locate the perfect fit?

Fitness Tips: How to Find the Right Size Sports Bra

Many girls wonder, “Do I really need a properly fitting sports bra?” Let’s answer that with an additional question, “Would you want a sexy, toned dime piece body with stretched out droopy boobs?” Of course not!

The bust should be lifted as well as firm and a good bra can help it stay that way. However, when engaging in activity requiring a lot of movement while wearing the wrong sports bra, it can unfortunately throw a monkey wrench into your fitness. The wrong fit will not help to give you the support that you really need. This can lead to irritation as well as tons of discomfort. Something us girls can all agree on that we would like to avoid, especially since it’s tough enough to pause a Netflix binge to huff and puff for half an hour.

Therefore, let’s get to it dolls! Here’s a comprehensive chart with everything you need to know in order to choose the right size sports bra.

2017 Beauty Trend: Orange Color Makeup Looks

Arianne SuggsUpdated on May 5, 2017May 5, 2017Leave a Comment

Orange color makeup … it’s back! A few years ago you could barely find one runway show that didn’t possess tangerine vibes. The tint got super hot fast and soon it was heralded as the new rouge. As a result, cosmetics companies rushed to produce orange makeup to fill the trend’s new demand. One particular brand even created an universally pleasing blush with orange tones that got a mention in a Drake song.

Nevertheless, suddenly the orange color trend disappeared completely from the fashion as well as beauty scene. Things went back to more “usual” and less boisterous shades. However, now it looks like orange is becoming a big beauty star once again.

2017 Beauty Trend: Orange Color Makeup Looks

Where have we recently spotted this trend? At the 2017 Met Gala singer Zendaya stunned with orange tinted lips. Furthermore, Blackish beauty, Yara Shahidi attended the Chanel Cruise 2018 fashion show in an orange suit with an orange eye makeup look. Both ladies looked fabulous and proved this shade works on a wide range of skin tones.

Nonetheless, it’s not just celebrities who are getting in on the resurgence of the orange color. For instance, makeup powerhouse Lancome has released their very own orange matte lip shade. Orange Magic, as Lancome has named it can be found apart of the Lancome Matte Shaker Liquid Lipstick collection. The beauty brand wants its consumers to “ban the boring” and utilize more festive tints.

As the orange color trend continues to build momentum Lancome could certainly be on to something. So then, are you bold enough to try this vibrant color this season?

“I’ve had some people ask me why I got in the matte lip color game with Tyra Beauty’s Baby Got Matte. Honestly? I was so damn tired of every liquid lipstick I tried drying out my lips! Do I really need to sacrifice my lip health just to rock a dope look?!

We needed some anti-dry innovation in this space, so my Tyra Beauty product development gurus got to work. We created a formula that gives you that fierce, long-wear matte finish; but, also keeps your lips soft and hydrated with hyaluronic acid, mango butter and coconut oil.

The result is our Baby Got Matte set, the future of matte lip color. And now you can purchase the collection’s shades individually.”

Arianne Suggs April 26, 2017April 26, 2017Leave a Comment

You’re pacing the room franticly as you wonder how you fit a grab bag, two Twinkles, theater popcorn, cake and Italian dinner into your body. As a result, you stare at your full belly hoping and praying you didn’t just undo all your hard work. First, breathe. Everyone has had a day where they ate a little bit too much of this and that. To get a dream body it takes tons sacrifice and dedication. Which is why a cheat day is not only welcomed by many but an absolute must!

No one wants to go the rest of their lives without a little “fun treat” here and there. However, what many come to find out is that including a cheat day is sometimes an even harder challenge than maintaining a nutritious diet. However, you can survive cheat day and come to use it as a valuable asset in your weight loss journey!

Help! I Blew Cheat Day! How to Get Back on Track Without Drastic Measures

Did I blow it? That’s a question many ponder after a botched cheat day. However, the answer may be surprising. Most likely you did not. That is because it takes 3,500 calories in order to gain a pound of fat. So then, if you are normally eating between 1200-1800 calories a day it is very unlikely you ate 2300-1700 extra calories.

Also, it is about if cheat day turns into cheat month. If you got right back to your regular routine the day after you put yourself right back on the road to success. However, if things snowball out of control then your day of treats did unfortunately knock you off balance a bit. Therefore, the thing to remember is that one day in the long run will not mess you up, it depends on how you respond after.

Lastly, many think that the best solution to overeating is to starve off the extra calories. This is a bad move. Starvation can cause you to lose muscle and be dehydrated. The better option would simply be to add in a little more exercise. You will burn off the calories and keep fitness at the forefront of your mind. So then, remember one day of treats is not bad and as long as you didn’t gorge you are most likely fine. Moreover, your actions after are truly the key, get right back on track and your goals shall be achieved.
