You want to also make sure that you nails are just clean period. Aim for them to be free of all dust, dirt and moisture. Before any paint application you will want your nails to be super clean. If they are not you run the risk of the new nail polish not adhering or sticking properly.

Base coat helps to prevent dreadful chipping and unsightly nail stains. Have you ever removed your nail polish and noticed that your natural nails now look yellowish or discolored?

Always apply two coats of polish because that will help you not only get the true color you want, but the right consistency on all the nails.

Confidence Building Activities – Daily Beauty Quote December 18, 2017

Arianne SuggsUpdated on December 20, 2017December 18, 2017Leave a Comment

To be successful in anything you have to feel like you can, you are worth it and you can not be stopped. Basically, it boils down to one word… confidence. Therefore, we decided to develop this success driven feature on Confidence Building Activities. What helped spark this post? Well, did you catch our daily Melanin Magic tweet this morning? It was simple and sweet and read as:

“Makeup is art. Beauty is spirit.”

-Anonymous

Instantly, our tweet gained numerous retweets as well as favorites. Therefore, we take it that many of you want more than “skin deep” results. True confidence is the product of what we find within.

Confidence Building Activities -How to Do it

So then, what are some ways that one can develop as well as maintain confidence? First of all, you have to look at it almost as physical training. For instance, when you want to gain more tone or muscle what do you do?

Most likely, you begin some sort of workout training regimen as well as make some tweaks to your diet choices. In time, the results start to show not just to yourself but to onlookers and people who know you well. The same is true when it comes to developing confidence.

You have to work at it regularly and consistently. Moreover, you may need to make a few tweaks to yourself or how you do things. Nevertheless, if you do and stick with it soon the results will be clearly manifest.

Confidence Building Activities – What to Do

Below you will find several confidence building activities that you can engage in to help to say goodbye to insecurity and hello to the new you! Remember, like training your body, attaining confidence can take a little time. However, do not give up, you were made to achieve great things! Furthermore, by incorporating a few of these activities into your daily schedule you will be well on your way.

Speak Positively of Yourself– Taking to yourself can at first seem like a really creepy thing to be doing, however, the outcome is higher self-esteem. Try looking into a mirror and saying something positive about yourself. Most people do not realize all the negative thoughts they entertain every day.

Those thoughts over time can wreak havoc because we start to believe it. Therefore, in order to undo and combat negativity saying something nice is essential. Focus on your accomplishments. Say to yourself, “I am really proud of how I finished that school or work project early.” Or perhaps, “I look really nice today!”

Simple positive acknowledgments can have awesome long term effects. Eventually, harmful thoughts will be replaced with good ones and your actions will soon follow.

5 Compliment Journal- This activity is very close to the positive speaking builder, the only difference is that you will write your feelings down. Purchase a journal that will allow you to write down daily 5 positive things about yourself. Can simply be words describing yourself such as: Happy, Kind, Hard-working, Energetic and Driven.

Or you may choose to be more descriptive. Either way is acceptable and will help you to root out insecurities. Never forget that positive thoughts result in positive outcomes. So then, take time to feel great about yourself daily and watch the magic happen!

Confidence Building Activities (Cont.)

Set Goals and Challenges– Think of success like a ladder, you can’t skip rungs to get to the top without running the risk of injury. Therefore, save yourself the trouble by putting in the steady work required. Start off by setting small goals for yourself that will help you to reach your bigger goals.

For example, if you desire to be in better shape. Start off by having the goal of working out for 20 minutes three to five times a week. Once that becomes routine you have accomplished your goal! Next, challenge yourself to try a new exercise or bump up your workouts to 25 or 30 minutes.

As you set, work towards and accomplish your goals you will be simultaneously building more confidence. It is a win win situation that will leave you in a better state mentally, emotionally as well as physically.

Workout and Exercise– Speaking of physically, ever heard the saying, “When you look good, you feel good?” Well, it is as true now as it was when the first man or woman uttered it.

Exercise not only releases endorphins so that you will feel happier, but it can help you look your best as well. Now we are not saying you have to be super skinny to have confidence. No, but being healthy for your body type can help you feel more powerful, influential and commanding.

You are the commander and captain of your life. Feeling your best can put you in a positive space that allows you to take control because your quality of self has improved. It may have started outside, however, you will be most affected inwardly.

Confidence Building Activities – You’re Not Perfect and Trust Us, It’s Okay

No one can go every day feeling like the world is all rainbows and sunshine. However, you can always choose to make lemonade out of lemons. Throughout life for us ladies there tends to be certain things that “bring us down.” Knowing and being able to spot them is the best way to stay in control of them.

Browse the chart below and see if you identify. Remember, you are not alone, all of us can use a boost in confidence from time to time. Just know that it can be gained regardless of your background, childhood, past or mistakes. You CAN be successful and you WILL be successful if you take steps daily and never give up!

How To Choose The Right Fitness Trainer, Regardless of Fitness Level

ArianneUpdated on December 18, 2017December 18, 2017Leave a Comment

Choosing the right personal fitness trainer is very important. To pick up the phone and call the first trainer that popped up in a Google search, could end up being both a waste of time and money. Therefore, personal training is a valuable service, but it is best to pick a fitness trainer that can achieve the goals that YOU are after.

How To Choose The Right Fitness Trainer

There is no such thing as a stupid question. We recently quizzed a top Los Angeles fitness trainer on what anyone regardless of their fitness level should look for in a trainer. Remember, it is your body and it deserves only the best. With that in mind, here are a few things to definitely keep in the forefront when making your decision.

1. What are their achievements?

The Answer: Pick a trainer whose achievements closely match your goals. If you want to run a race, a runner with marathon experience would fit. If you want to lose weight, a personal trainer who has lost weight his/herself would be a great match.

Of course this is not always the case. I have trained men for mass gain and have been plenty successful. If you find a trainer you want to work with, ask if they have experience in the area. Furthermore, any great trainer will get one of their previous or current clients to call or e-mail you, with a testimonial if you request one.

2. What is their availability?

The Answer: If you want to train full force at three or four times a week, make sure the trainer has the availability. A great personal trainer is really busy, and some can only fit in 1 or 2 sessions per client a week. If you want to work with them anyway, see if they will provide you with a custom program for working out one or two days a week on your own.

Choose The Right Fitness Trainer (Cont.)

3. What are you looking for in a personal trainer?

The Answer: Do you just need someone there to make sure you are exercising hard enough? Do you want someone who will motivate you like a drill Sergeant? Do you need to work on technique? Or perhaps, do you have any injuries or conditions that need a more experienced and knowledgeable trainer?

As you can see, a little analysis is required. Definitely be sure to pick out a trainer that will provide what you want. Everybody has different expectations of what a good trainer is. Find the right match for what you need to get out of your workout sessions.

Personal training is a service that fast tracks results safely and surely. A great way to find a trainer is through friends and family who can recommend their trainer to you. Alternately, do your research, and hire the best trainer for your goals and needs.

The Right Fitness Trainer

A truly skilled personal fitness trainer can help you learn not only how to get into the best shape ever, but maintain it. This kind of knowledge is simply invaluable. Los Angeles fitness coach, Erin Williams demonstrated how important it is to listen to as well as learn from the best. Furthermore, Williams shared with us a nutrition tip that can really help you shed the pounds! Enjoy.

Cardi B Steve Madden Curated Collection-Getting the Word Out

As much as fans love Cardi B for her music, they also can’t get enough of her vibrant personality. Steve Madden capitalizes on Cardi’s energetic flair in a series of visuals made specifically for the promotion of their collab collection. Within them Cardi acts out a classic infomercial with scrolling 1-800 number and all.

What’s she selling? Her awesome collection of course! Along with Cardi’s “Daily Tips.” In case you have yet to eyeball one of these ads we will get you started. One tip Cardi B suggests is, “Every woman needs a pointy shoe.”

We completely agree with Cardi’s stylish tip and she also has you covered. In the Cardi B Steve Madden Curated Collection you will find a very chic pair of pink pointed toe shoes. These shoes are called the Daisie and are the perfect addition to a cute ensemble in order to add a nice pop of color.

The Appeal

Everything this woman touches turns to pure gold. How did Cardi B’s 2017 reign begin? It all started with a little hit known as “Bodak Yellow.”

With this one single Cardi B changed the history of music forever. It went on to accomplish something that hadn’t occurred in 19 years. Not only did Bodak Yellow hit the number one slot, Cardi became the second female rapper to do it without any accompanying acts. The only other lady to shine in this way is the iconic Lauryn Hill.

Nevertheless, during 2017 Cardi B’s fan appeal only increased as she stacked up award after award. You may have forgotten about a few. No worries here’s a quick recap of Cardi’s 2017 achievements.

•BET Hip Hop Award for Hustler of the Year

•BET Hip Hop Award for Made You Look Award for 2017

•Soul Train Music Award for Rhythm & Bars Award for 2017 ( Winner for Bodak Yellow)

Too Faced Glow Job – The Awesome Benefits

When it comes to new products on the market many consumers ask, why? Why do I need this in my life? What is it really going to do for me? To help answer those questions when it comes to the Too Faced Glow Job glitter facial mask; we have complied a few of the numerous benefits.

Complexion Perfection– Oh I love dull looking skin, said no one ever! One feature of this mask is it’s fabulous exfoliating formula which can renew dull, tired looking skin. Therefore, look fresh and like you have been shelling out the big bucks at your local dermatologist.

So Peel Me– Easy clean up is so important in the world of beauty. While other masks such as clay versions can be a little bit of a pain to remove at times. This mask has a nifty peel off feature. Once the mask dries and you have given it enough time to work its magic all you have to do is peel and pitch. Say goodbye to the days of washcloth and water splash removal!

It’s Gluten Free– This is an amazing feature especially if you currently have an intolerance or deal with Celiac’s Disease. Even though throughout the years skincare experts have come to the conclusion that gluten can not be absorbed directly through the skin this does not mean it can’t have an effect on someone with an allergy.

Any gluten containing product that even touches a person’s lips or mouth could be ingested thus causing an unpleasant reaction in some users that are allergic to grains such as wheat. Therefore, it is nice that the Too Faced brand has thought ahead and addressed this issue. Making their product something consumers can use without worry.
