SUMMER BUTT WATCH #3

MAGIC WORD

               SUMMER BUTT WATCH # 3
Summer, actually is the easiest time of the year to lose weight. Your appetite is not as strong as when it's cold. We tent to drink more water, eat more watermelons and cantaloupes, and spend more time outdoors. Not to mention the fact that we are wearing way less clothes and have more body awareness. Still, it's a task!
So what is the magic word? It's "NO!" Can you say "no" to another glass of wine, a cookie, a late-night dinner, or a piece of cheese?!
I don't know about you, kids but it's not easy for me. My hubby and I like to cook and hang out. I love to bake, and sometimes bake with a glass of bubbly. Yet, I love my pretty dresses. So what are we going to do about that? The answer is : ADJUST!
Have a late-night dinner - plan a trip to the gym the next day. Have an extra glass of wine after a 9oz bottle of water. Have your sweets in the morning - you'll have a whole day to burn it off. Have a diet and exercise buddy - misery loves company! Good luck!




                         SWEET TOOTH?


If you are baking at night-put some pastry or cookies aside for yourself and have it with your morning coffee. 
I know a little secret. Well-established brands always put fantastic recipes on their products. The best chocolate-chip cookies I've made came from Ghirardelli's.

ADVICE FROM THE TENNIS PRO KRISTEN

Q: how to enjoy yourself when you play against a much stronger opponent?

Kristen: it's actually excellent practice to play with someone who's much more advanced than you are. Try to put your ego aside and study your opponent for a few games. When you see, for instance that he is next to the net, try to place the ball behind him. People have a hard time running backwards.

Thanks Kristen!

How to have your gel manicures last till the end of your vacation?

Gel manicures are fabulous, especially if you go on a trip. They shine and they don't chip. The only problem is that they have to be professionally removed. Do Not Try To Remove Them Yourself!!

You can have your nails look good though, if you're prepared. After you have your gels done, buy a similar color and bring it with you on the trip. When your nails grow there is a gap you need to fill. Take a fine file and file it a bit so it's smooth. Paint over.

 Before fill

They look pretty good after two weeks!
