3 WAYS TO LOOK SLIMMER....

1.SHAPE WEAR MAGIC....
I love you all just the way you are, but for that extra bit of magic, don't be afraid of investing in some quality shape-wear. It will smoothen your curves, tighten your figure and give your body a slimmer finish. You wont regret it, i promise.

Identify your body type.
 One way to define a woman's body type is by how her curves connect her bust, waist, and hips. There are four general body types:[1]
Apple - top-heavy; 14 percent of women; bust three or more inches bigger than hips; if you have this body type, you probably want to emphasize your tight legs and butt, draw attention away from your waist and shoulders/arms (wear long sleeves), and draw attention to your bust and neck (e.g. v-necks).
Straight/rectangular - 46 percent of women; waist is about the same as hips and waist, more like a cylinder; if you have this body type, you can "pinch" your waist and exaggerate curves to avoid looking lanky or boyish. Go for ruffles and frills to add texture and volume (and femininity) to your figure. Steer clear of baggy jeans and track clothes if you don't want to look boyish.
Pear - bottom-heavy; 20 percent of women; hips significantly larger than bust; if this is your body type, there are things you can do to make your hips and butt look slimmer, but some women might want to make their butts bigger!
Hourglass - 8 percent of women; equal hip and bust measurements with a narrow waist; if you're one of the lucky few with this body type, dress to flatter - not flatten - your beautiful curves.

2. HIGH HEELS.....
Nothing works better than a pair of delicious, sky-high heels. They check your body language, add height andmost importantly, make YOU feel like a super star. Stilettos are your best bet, but wedges, block heels and platform sandals can save you if you're out of practice!

Basic black is the classic look for a high heeled shoe or boot, but wilder colors can be pulled off. There are many styles, from boots to pumps, slingbacks, and sandals. Remember that the more open the shoe, the less support it will provide, with the least supportive shoe being a thong type sandal. Make sure the outfit and the shoes match.


3.COLOUR GAMES.....

Colours can be very tricky, and while we truly believe that black is always beautiful, other hues will work just as well! Darker shades of your favourite colours, colour block styles, ditsy prints and vertical stripes will always do the trick!

Nearly everybody is concerned about looking his or her best, which is why so much time is spent choosing hairstyles, accessories and clothing, but no matter how good the cut of your suit or the line of your dress, you won't look your best without wearing flattering clothing colors. By choosing your best clothing colors, you can make your skin glow, your eyes sparkle and your entire look appear more pulled together. This involves working with your hair color, testing your underlying skin tone, comparing colors against your skin and hair, getting a professional color analysis, or wearing monochromatic colors for impact.

I hope you will find it help full..
Love,
Aaisha

STRENGTHENING YOUR CORE....

If you're pushing yourself with cardio and crunches, and doing everything right, but a flat stomach still eludes you, you've probably been ignoring your core.

Why is your core important?

That's not the only reason why paying attention to the core is essential. "It's considered the powerhouse of our body,"

"[The core] is extremely important when it comes to performing everyday chores," says the trainer, who got Jessica Alba back to her pre-baby body in record time.

"Having a strong core assists in making everyday tasks easier -- things like carrying your baby or groceries, garden work, lifting, twisting... all these moves rely on your core."

"Since everything in our body is connected, it only makes sense that having a strong core or centre translates to our body working in harmony," "Our lower limbs rely on stable hips and pelvic floor, and our torso is connected to our abdominal muscles and lower back. Strong core muscles will affect our balance and the spine, protecting us from injury and allowing us to continue an active lifestyle."
