♡ 10 Fat-Burning Foods ♡

Hey, beautiful! Did you fall from heaven?

Because you look like an angel!

...Too cheesy?

It seems like the biggest fad for a woman is to be thin, or have a flat stomach. Being overweight or even just a little chubby can horribly damage a girl's self-confidence. Let me tell you now, I do not care what size you are (whether you're a size 3 or a size 13), you look beautiful in it! If you're trying to lose weight, make sure you're doing it for yourself and to be healthy! 

#1: Green Tea

Green tea is an absolute miracle! This drink does amazing things for your body. It acts as a natural detox, so this drink boosts your immune system, improves the appearance of your skin, and boosts your metabolism. A cup of green tea a day is an excellent idea.

#2: Cinnamon

Cinnamon will spike up your metabolism so your body can burn off all that excess fat. Cinnamon has been proven to decrease cholesterol levels and prevent diabetes. Both of those things are associated with being over-weight.

#3: Coffee

It's not so much the coffee itself that's so good for you, but the caffeine in it! Caffeine can really get your metabolism going.

#4: Berries

Berries don't really burn off fat. So I bet you're wondering why they're on this list then, right? Although they don't help burn the fat, they're so low in calories that it burns more calories to digest them than they contain! Can you say negative calories?

#5: Beans

Beans are very high in protein and fiber, and have no fat! They clean out your system and can keep your digestive system on track.

#6: Lean Meats

Lean meats are obviously much lower in calories than other meats. This is because the lean meat is almost all protein instead of fat!

#7: Salmon

Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which help you build muscle. When you have more muscle, it's far easier to burn fat. (Remember ladies, muscle weighs more than fat.)

#8: Green Veggies

Veggies are rich in fiber. The fiber is going to help your body feel fuller and keep your digestive track working right. Veggies are also idea for keeping your metabolism from slowing down.

#9: Peanut Butter

Peanut butter has lots of protein! And it also increases testosterone levels. And I know what you're thinking, "I'm a girl, why would I want high testosterone levels?" Well the testosterone from peanut butter is good for both men and women.

#10: Water

This is a no-brainer. Do I even half to explain how water works?

Remember, the number you see on a scale does not matter. If it's not making you unhealthy, it does not matter.

So how then should you decide if you're at a good weight?

Go stand in front of a mirror. Look at your stomach, your legs, your arms, just look at your body.

Are you comfortable with how it looks? (You should be, you're gorgeous!)

Yes? You're fine, don't worry about a thing. You. Are. Beautiful!

No? Then lose weight. Do it safely, and do it for you! Don't do it because an idiot called you fat or society makes you feel bad. Do it for you and you only. Because no matter how big or small you are, you're perfect to someone.

♡ Silky Smooth Legs For Summer ♡

How To:

♡ Silky Smooth Legs ♡

Hey beauty junkies. Guess who's looking great today?

(It's you.)

Everyone loves the feeling of having legs as smooth as a baby's butt, right? It just makes you happy when you feel your legs and it feels like your hand is surrounded by kittens. Well, maybe it doesn't make everyone happy, but it makes me feel wonderful!

This is the perfect treat to pamper yourself with.

♡ The Magic Ingredients ♡

1. Mix all of those ingredients up into a bowl. (You can substitute olive oil for canola oil, baby oil, or coconut oil. Also, you definitely don't need to squeeze juice from a lemon or a lime, you can just buy plain ol' lemon juice from the store).

2. Start up a bath and soak your legs in it for at least 5 minutes

3. Shave your legs. Using a newer razor is better, because trust me, you're going to get all that dead skin off your legs, and if you haven't exfoliated recently it can get pretty awkward.

4. Rub the mixture all over your legs. It's going to feel great! Like a mini-massage.

5. Shave your legs a second time. This is when all that nasty dead skin is going to start coming up, I'm sure you'll be glad that's leaving!

6. Use the mixture a second time! Your legs should already be feeling smooth.

7. Rinse your legs off. You can use a mild soap or body wash if your legs feel too oily, but I personally don't like to.

8. Get out of the tub and lather your legs up in lotion.

9. Tell everyone you know to feel your legs! (TRUST ME, you'll want to!)

I like to do this when I need a little pick-me-up, because for me, pampering myself is the perfect treat when I'm feeling down.

Pro tip: You don't have to limit this to just your legs! Use it on your tummy, your arms, anywhere you want! You could have silky smooth armpits too, if you want!

♡ Have fun with your baby-butt smooth legs and have a fabulous morning/afternoon/evening/night! ♡

♡ How to Make Your Lipstick Last All Day ♡

HOW TO:

♡ LONG-WEARING LIPSTICK ♡

What's up, good-looking?

I hope your day has been just as fabulous as you are!

So I'm sure we all have that issue where you apply your lipstick in the morning, then in a few hours it's all worn off, right?

So how in the world are you supposed to fix that?

There's a very simple solution to making your lipstick long-wearing and smudge-proof!

♡ What You'll Need ♡

- Any lip liner of your choice

- Any lipstick of your choice

- Pressed or loose powder

- Toilet paper / tissues

♡ How To Do It ♡

1. Take your lip liner, it absolutely does not matter what lip liner you want to use, and line around your lips, filling them in after

2. After your lips are completely filled with the lip liner, take ANY lipstick and apply that over the lip liner.

3. After you've applied the lipstick, dab it with a tissue / toilet paper then apply another layer of it. Repeat this step three times.

4. Take a tissue or some toilet paper and pull it in half ( you want 1-ply not 2-ply ).

5. Place the 1-ply tissue / toilet paper over your lips, and with a powder brush apply a light layer of your powder over over the paper and your lips, and you're done!

Holding the one-ply paper over the lips while you powder will make sure you don't apply the powder too heavily and make the lips powdery (ew, who would want powdery lips?). The fine amount of powder will set your lipstick to last all day and all night long!

This trick is perfect for long-days, parties, or even weddings!

♡ Good luck, beauty junkies! ♡
