Slendertone

Although I am going to a health club twice a week, I have been still fighting to eradicate my undesirable ‘mummy tummy’. It was a buddy that directed me in the correct direction by recommending I looked into getting myself the Slendertone stomach muscles firming belt and boy am I grateful I listened!

As it’s the very first item such as this I had actually bought I'd been a little bit dubious. Not normally believing that there exists a quick solution with regards to this sort of machines, imagine just how astonished I was when after only a few weeks, there was an unbelievable difference in the look of my belly. It’s fair to say that so far, I'm suitably satisfied with my Slendertone system and the results which i have attained with it so far. My muscles do really feel significantly tighter and tougher as well as my loose tummy shake has become a little firmer too.

Just before I purchased the Slendertone System + Abs Toning Belt I did quite a lot of investigation into the way the dvice really worked. In all honesty, without having a robust pain tolerance I'd been concerned about any possible pain that may be involved, but so far so good, but ás I’ve not had it on the higher setting so only time will tell.

The downside to the Slendertone is definitely the repeated need to change the gel pads for the Ab belts. If you are using your belt as recommended inside the instruction manual (five sessions with two days’ rest) then you will be wanting to change your gel pads once just about every 4-6 weeks. It can seem expensive to maintain, but there are a few places online where you could get excellent deals on the gel pads.

Maintenance costs aside, the Women’s Slendertone System + Abs Tightening Belt is a really good buy if you're searching for help with your stubborn abdomen.

Chosing the Perfect Little Black Dress

The little black dress is a current wardrobe staple for virtually every woman regardless of age group, shape or size. It’s among those essential pieces of clothing which can be worn for virtually any situation and dressed up or down appropriately with attractive accessories or straightforward pieces of jewelry.

Once you have taken account of your body shape, finding the perfect little black dress which highlights as well as emphasises your figure should be painless. However with so many beautiful little black gowns out there both in the shops as well as in the designer stores, how do you know that you're really deciding on that timelessly classical gown to match your shape? Should you be finding it tough to select your ideal little black Cristmas party dress, use our quick self-help guide to assist your search.

Pear Shape
In case you are one of those girls that are ‘bottom heavy’ you are traditionally known as having a classic pear shape figure. With more substantial hips it is vital that you choose a little black dress that emphasises the shoulders to help balance out a person's aesthetic form. To achieve this you'll want to be choosing halter neck gowns, try a few on in varying lengths and see your body shape gain in proportion.

Petite
The small lady should stay with straightforward clean lines to make the most of her shape. Clean, elongated designs allow you to appear taller and leaner. The petite woman also needs to take into account gown length since this really does have an impact on your figure. Look for little black dresses that stops just over the knee for making the most of your hips and legs.

Apple Shape
A regular
apple shape figure is prone to having a bigger torso along with bigger hips. While this does appear to be a good well balanced figure, the apple shaped lady tends to lack a definite waist. A little black dress that features a gathering in the waistline will serve well to eliminate this problem, providing the apple form a much more defined figure it nips you in, emphasising the perfect body shape.

The Hour Glass
The archetypal hour glass figure is probably the one that is most envied by other people. Having a naturally hourglass, proportionate body shape you are able to fit into nearly every design and form of dress with no trouble. Even so, if you're in pursuit of little black dress perfection then go for a shape designed to emphasize your middle. Pick a V-neck for that epitome of figure flattery. It opens up the chest area and draws the eye down making the waist look narrower defining one's body shape.

Plus Size
There are many ways the more voluptuous lady maximise off her figure and not one more so when it comes to hunting out that ideal little black dress. Looking wonderful on any body shape, the wrap dress works especially well on the plus shape. Showcasing the slimmer areas of the body, the classic wrap around is still looser around the lower area of the body offering an exceptionally glamorous and womanly touch.

Babyliss Pro 230, The Queen of Straighteners

BaByliss is back with a brand new straighter for 2012. Based on last years best rated 2098B, can the 2012 design retain the straightening iron crown?

In case you are new to the field of hair straighteners, then I can easily sum this up quickly:

Elegant as ever, the NEW 2012 Pro 230 Elegance is available in a vivid glossy metallic pink finish that looks stunning while in use or when located on your dressing room table, particularly when it's matched with its luxurious metallic pink carrying tote.

Pairing fashion along with efficiency, the chrome detail and the mirror finish true titanium ceramic plates of the Pro 230 Elegance show a sense of luxury. And its rounded design and style looks elegant and contemporary, whilst so that you can style as well as straighten your hair.

Just like it's older sister, the 2012 BaByliss Pro 230 Elegance straightener gets to 230 degrees beauty salon temperature and is ready to use in just Just a few seconds. The super shine, 25% longer true titanium plates, straighten up large sections of hair at one time for swift results and give an ultimate smooth finish. With its Sophisticated Ceramics heating system, it has ultra swift heat recovery to keep up continuous high temperature during use.

Appears to be good right? Well it truly is!

If you would like the perfect hair straighter dollars can purchase, then buy either of the the BaByliss Pro 230 Elegance Hair straighteners, there is simply absolutely nothing better on the market.

For those who follow trends and require trendy, but overpriced and otherwise average straighteners then opt for the GHD Mk IV.

Compared to the GHD (since let us be truthful, just about every straightener is compared to the vastly over-rated GHD) the BaByliss stacks up well.

The BaByliss:
  • Gets hot more quickly in comparison to the GHD 
  • Is less heavy in comparison with the GHD 
  • Is substantially smoother and snags a lot less than the GHD (titanium vs. ceramic) 
  • Is typically 50 % the asking price of the GHD 
  • Has got adjustable heat for fringes and fragile tresses
  • Possesses the same auto-shut off feature that GHD keep bragging about 

The one feature the GHD MkIV has over the BaByliss is the fact that new special edition GHD includes a superior heat plate protector so you're able to pack it back in your case immediately; quite convenient while travelling.

The only real draw back that I can see with BaByliss is the manufacturer image; they're viewed by many people as bargain basement items instead of as brand leaders or technologically advanced trend setters.
