When out shopping the number of times I have seem tangoed men and women are hilarious. The funniest and most embarrassing is when women get fake tan over their legs only to forget about the ankles and feet, and on top of that decide its ok to wear a short skirt and flip flops. Another embarrassing mistake is having orange hands and not even bothering to cover them up.
A while ago there was a really good offer for a toning disc in Avon. I thought I’d give it a try because it was easy exercise; it only cost me £10. I used it everyday starting at five minutes each evening, then increasing it to about fifteen minutes at a time. I don’t know if it made me any slimmer, but I could feel the workout afterwards. I’m not sure why I stopped it may have been because I got bored, even though it was cheap and I did it while watching TV. I have also tried the gym ball once then got rid of it I can’t honestly say it worked because I didn’t use it long enough.
Having had a Wii console for over a year when the Wii Fit came out I was one of the first in line. I used it everyday after work for twenty minutes and lost up to 4lbs in a week. The results were fantastic but then the weather changed and we were in winter so I stopped. I would thoroughly recommend the Wii Fit as it worked for me and there are a choice of exercises available.
During the summer months I tried using weights to tone my arms, strengthen my back and tone my thighs and stomach. It was well worth it I did tone up and the compliments at work were very encouraging. As I did the weights outside with my family during the winter its too cold so I stopped.
As I am probably the most laziest in the world I have decided to join my local gym. At £50 a month I hope it will be money well spent and I’m hoping that the fact I have to pay every month will motivate me to go 5 days a week. I have just booked a tour with my local gym and if it looks good then I’ll give it a try. If I was to do pay as you go I would still have to pay £50 a year membership but also a hefty £5.50 every time I would go. I am hopeful that going to the gym is the right thing to and having recently spent over£200 on gym clothes my husband would be quite angry if I didn’t at least give it a go instead of complaining all the time.
There are many brands on the market today be it cosmetics or Christmas cards that have an incentive of donating money to charity. It makes people feel better when they buy something that will also help others in return. There are shops that supply hand made cards made by people raising money for charities; they are more personal and unique because they haven’t been mass-produced.
Cosmetics are also doing the same thing buy purchasing their products they give a percentage or fixed amount to a chosen charity.
Retailers are selling ethically produced cotton clothing, when clothes are purchased all profit made go to the workers who picked cotton from the fields and the seamstress who sew the pieces together.
You can even buy fair-trade products like tea; coffee and chocolate just remember to look for the official logo.
Just recently I have found that if you buy a chicken coop from a certain company and are adopting battery hens they will donate £20 to the battery hens welfare trust, I don’t know if this is true and if you can trust them but it doesn’t cost anything to donate money yourself.
With more and more people opting for surgery to correct flaws and improve appearance I’m not surprised that you can even have feet corrected to fit better in pretty sandals and shoes. Although not for the squeamish and recovery time can be weeks to months all who have had it, do not regret it the results. I would go crazy if I had to use crutches for longer than a couple of days so you can count me out on this bizarre procedure.
We all know we can have surgery to correct bunions and hammer toes but having your toes shortened and made longer is just crazy. Most models and celebrities won’t admit to it but it’s estimated that around 40% of celebrities have had this procedure done. You can even get the bones in your foot shaved to appear longer and leaner and fit more comfotably in stilettos.
Like I said recovery time can vary so going without wearing my beautiful Laboutins for more than a few days would be like torture to me!
