Even at 20 weeks aka five months Williams still looks like she can take anyone on the court… and win! Nevertheless, if you are a mom-to-be like Serena here are 10 tips that will have you looking like a hot mama right after delivery.

Talk to your doctor – Your doctor will be able to provide tons of helpful advice. Also, make sure it will be safe to continue your normal fitness regimen or find out safer alternatives.
Get your cardio – Be sure to stick to low impact exercises. This means no jumping or hopping around. Hitting a treadmill or elliptical are much safer options. Get a good sweat but never overheat.
Chair Squats – Do 2-3 sets of 20 reps of this exercise to keep your lower body in check. Bye bye thunder thighs!
Invest in Dumbbells – Purchase a lightweight pair in order to perform curls, presses and kickbacks for the upper body. These exercises can be done in the comfort of a chair and will help keep your muscles toned.
Learn to love walking – Walking is one of the best low impact exercises for pregnant women. It’s a simple and easy exercise that can be done anywhere as well as anytime. Aim to walk for 30-60 minutes or if you are too exhausted it is totally okay to break up your workout. Try shorter increments of time like 8-10 minutes each throughout the day. It all will add up in the end and the point anyway is to keep moving throughout your pregnancy as long as your doctor approves.

10 Tips For Staying Fit When Expecting – (Continued)

Ready for the final five? These next tips will help you stay trim when the fork is in your hand and on the right track.

Don’t overeat– Most women only need between 300-450 additional calories during pregnancy. So as fun as it sounds to eat 5 more cheeseburgers than usual, it is not really necessary.
Dine for two – Eat high quality protein and healthy mono and saturated fats. This is good for you and the development of your baby. This high satiety diet will help reduce cravings making you want to snack while keeping your blood glucose levels nice and stable.
Chase Waterfalls – Drink TONS of water, at least 64 ounces and tack on an additional 8 ounces for every 30 minutes of exercise. Water will help you stay hydrated and reduce nausea, tiredness as well as overeating.
Take a rest – You don’t have to go all balls to walls to stay in shape. Listen to your body, if you need rest take it. You can always get back to your regular program once you’re no longer exhausted.
Go to bed – Get some beauty rest for you and your future bundle of joy. Getting AT LEAST 8 hours every night will help you recover from your fitness routine and the changes that occur as your baby grows.

By keeping the above tips in mind you will keep the physique you desire. Let Serena be your inspiration and like her you will be able get through your pregnancy like a champ.

As Revlon says, “It’s never too early to bust out spring hues.” Bright, vibrant tints always dominate this particular season. Therefore, if you love color play Irresistible will be right up your alley.

Blue is a color that’s associated with the sea, sky, freedom and imagination. Moreover, it also denotes trust, confidence, wisdom, intelligence and stability. So then, if you want a color that not only makes a statement, but shows inner strength you must pick up this polish.

Nevertheless, we are not the only ones loving this new hot enamel. Revlon diehards weighed in on the Ciara’s nail look:

“University of Kentucky color, I got someone in mind to gift this nail polish. Ciara you are beautiful girl.”

“Revlon I can’t thank you enough for selecting Ciara to be your Global Brand Ambassador. I have always been a Revlon customer but for some reason I never purchased a mascara until I saw Ciara talking about it. And I have to say it is the best mascara I have EVER had! I will also get into your new Nail Enamel with the hope for a similar awesome experience!”

“Love the nail polish, I will be in store soon to buy more products.”

The Best Celebrity Winter Hair Colors to Try Now

Chocolate Browns

If you enjoy low maintenance then aim for a Chocolate ombre hair look. Dye jobs fade anyway and this particular look will ebb away gracefully. Plus, chocolate brown is universally flattering on everyone because its not too dark or too light.

Raven Blue

As Seen on: Nicki Minaj

This color is perfect for the cold, winter months. Its moody as well as mysterious yet reads as sleek and extravagant. If you want a no frills, sultry hair color this is the way to go.

Golden Blonde

As Seen On: Blac Chyna

Do blondes have more fun? By the looks of future Mrs. Rob Kardashian we would definitely say so! Winter hair colors do not need to be drab to look amazing. Golden or caramel blonde works well on lighter skin tones. Medium brown to dark skin tones can achieve amazing results with golden/caramel highlights.

The Best Celebrity Winter Hair Colors – For the Bold

Deep Purple

As Seen On: Justine Skye

They don’t call her the Purple Unicorn for nothing. Justine Skye’s signature plum tresses fall nicely right between allurement and calmness. Moreover, purple is the balance of red and blue and denotes royalty. Personality types drawn to this color are usually eccentric, creative and peaceful.

Stark White

As Seen On: Instagram Sensation Bee aka Melvnin

Nothing says winter like white snow so why not white dyed hair? Stark white used to be reserved for comic book and GOT characters. Not anymore, this trend was born out of the gray/platinum craze and looks to have serious staying power.

Blonde Highlights

As Seen On: Ciara and Zendaya

If going full on blonde is not your cup of tea then adding a few well-placed highlights could be the answer. Zendaya and Ciara’s soft highlights are chic and sophisticated. This is how to do color on a very subtle basis.

Winter Hair Colors – Super Sick Shades

Vibrant Red

As Seen On: India Westbrooks

When your career is getting as hot as India’s your hair color should match it! Westbrooks has returned to bold red locks and the result is purely fabulous. Red suits India’s sassy persona as well so if that describes you too consider a rouge tint.

Pastel Pink

As Seen On: Lil’ Mama

This type a color is for the girl that just wants to have fun and party with other fellow unicorns. Roots are kept dark to add contrast as well as depth.

Platinum

As Seen on: Malaysia Pargo

Out of all winter hair colors this one is for the brave. If you enjoy standing out in a crowd platinum is your shade. Leave roots opaque for an even more dramatic effect.

Electric Blue

Show off your confidence this winter by infusing your strands with strong color only in the front. The differentiation reads business in the back and entertainment in the front. Besides confidence the color blue represents loyalty, wisdom, trust and imagination.

Espys 2016 Couples Fashion Must See!

Arianne SuggsUpdated on July 13, 2016July 13, 2016Leave a Comment

When one person has an amazing fashion moment it’s noteworthy. However, when a couple can burn up the red carpet they basically become style legends! Tonight at the Espys it was a designer’s heaven among the booed up celebs. Therefore, here is our Espys 2016 Couples Fashion Must See!

Espys 2016 Couples Fashion Must See

It may be a night about sports but the Espys 2016 couture could not be ignored! We spotted The Wilsons and also The Currys serving up major squad goals on the red carpet. So then, let’s begin with those love birds first.

The Currys looked radiant and we loved that they didn’t do the whole, “Hey, we’re a couple so let’s basically wear the same thing!” They demonstrated their individual style and taste. For instance, Ayesha Curry stunned in a Theia Couture burgundy gown. She did a matchy-matchy makeup look bringing her lip color and dress into perfect harmony. Moreover, Steph Curry stepped out in a bold custom Alba suit. His blue coat had us feeling some type of way.

Furthermore, the couple as a whole chose shades that complimented their skin tone. It’s nice to see them taking risks and playing with color. It definitely paid off!

Oh snap, wait a minute! Is that The Wilsons we see all up in it? Russell Wilson and his spanking new wife Ciara looked fantastic!

Now for many months they have slayed one red carpet event after the other. Actually they have been killing it ever since they started dating. So then, we weren’t surprised to see them looking like a bag of money.

Ciara has been killing it in Roberto Cavalli so she was like, “Well, if it’s not broken.” CiCi wore another Roberto Cavalli design in an alluring pink shade. Russell attended the Espys 2016 event in a well-tailored Tom Ford Suit.

Black on Black

There were a few black on black fashion moments tonight. One actually happened during the show on stage. Carmelo Anthony, Lebron James, Chris Paul and Mr. Wade rocked head-to-toe noire ensembles. They were making a statement in regards to gun violence and their attire was very appropriate as well as fitting.

Nevertheless, since those handsome four guys aren’t together let’s get back to the couples. Gabrielle Union and her man Dwyane Wade hit the Espys 2016 carpet before the show. Wade shut it down in a blue with black trim Givenchy suit. Union went all black as she strutted her stuff in an August Getty Atelier gown.
