10 Ways to Look Thinner Instantly

Here are 10 Instant Ways to Look Thinner

#1  Wear the right shoes

Here’s a small trick:

- SAY YES TO LOW VAMP
- SAY NO TO HIGH VAMP

Footwear that features a low-cut vamp instantly elongates and slenderizes your leg when you’re wearing skirts, shorts, dresses, and even cropped pants.

What’s a vamp? It’s the portion of a shoe that cuts across your foot at the front. So, a low vamp cuts across the base of the toes, while high vamp can come up the foot and possibly up to the ankle. If you’re able to find a pair that matches your skin tone, all the better to give the illusion of slim legs.
Talking about heels - think of two and a half inches and above — it lifts the body and makes clothes fall better, which gives a slimmer appearance. Look for pumps with slightly pointed toes and thin heels, as opposed to square-toes, super-chunky styles or thick ankle straps, all of which can give the appearance of a shorter, stockier leg.

WEAR SKINNY HEELS WITH POINTY TOES. Legs look slim and sexy in skirts paired with a shoe that has a tapered toe and at least a 2-inch stiletto. A slender toe and thin heel work to extend the narrow silhouette of calves. Square-toe styles with a thick, chunky heel give the appearance of a shorter, bulky leg.

#2 Wear your hair up in a proper way

If you pull hair back into a severe ponytail, you’ll see the gained weight in your jaw and neck area. So, when wearing a ponytail, make sure it is soft and high; then play around with what type of fringe looks best with your bone structure.

Tip: Pull tresses into a ponytail high on the back of your head and then lightly tease at the crown to bring out your bone structure and make your face look thinner.

#3 SAY YES to high-waist bottoms

When worn correctly, high waist bottoms can trick the eye into thinking you’re leaner by elongating your lower body. The secret is to choose dark denim or black with a touch of spandex for stretch and movement.

Be sure to make the elevated waist visible by tucking in a tailored blouse, or opting for a slightly cropped top. Don't choose garments with a super high-waist that buttons up or has an elastic waistband. Instead, go for a rise that hits directly above your belly button and has a zipper fly.

#4 All Black 

This is the oldest trick in the book - wear all black. Using one color will enhance a slender illusion. It helps create a long vertical line. Wearing black from head to toe is very effective to look thinner instantly. Aside from being the chicest, it is also very elegant. If you're not a black lover, other darker hues work well, too.

#5  vertical stripes

The second oldest trick in the book: Vertical stripes create long lines, thus making you look, well, longer. Bonus: Stripes are super "in" right now, so you’ll have absolutely no problem locating some cute options.

And while we're on the subject of stripes, it's common fashion folklore that horizontal lines can make you look wider. That's actually false, as a Breton striped shirt tucked into dark jeans flatters every woman.

#6 wear long necklace

Long necklaces add length to a short neck and bring attention away from hips and to the front and center of your body.

#7 the power of V-neck

The open, upside-down triangle (v-neck) creates a high focal point up and away from your midsection and gives the illusion of a longer, slimmer upper body. The more skin displayed between chin and chest, the more elegant your proportions will appear. Meanwhile, wider V-necklines visually balance broad hips and thighs. So collect Vs in everything - tanks, Ts, sweaters, cardigans, dresses and jackets.

#8 Wear an open jacket/blazer

The crisp straight lines and narrow lapels of a blazer counteract excess curves. An open jacket is extra-slimming worn over V-neck tanks

#9  Invest in underwear that fits

Do not underestimate the power of "the underwear that fits." Wearing a wrong-size bra and too-small cups will neither lift nor shape your two beautiful girls. Nothing can pack on the pounds more than saggy boobs in an ill-fitting bra. Down below, too-snug panties create bulges.

#10 THE POWER OF SELF CONFIDENCE!

Don't issue good/bad or pretty/ugly judgments when you look at the mirror. Love yourself and you will totally feel good. Always find something to admire in yourself. Always remember to have self-confidence at all times. Make sure to stand, sit, and walk properly. When your posture is erect, the message it gets is: "I feel good about myself." Magical tip: Always smile. When you feel bad, just pray and everything will be alright. :)

Remove Back and Neck Pain from Computer Use (Video Tutorial)

Naturally Remove and Prevent Back and Neck Pain from Sitting in Front of The Computer Too Long:

In this post, I will show you pictures and videos to guide you on how to remove and prevent pain from sitting in front of the computer too long - the natural way - by stretching and strengthening.

When we sit in front of the computer too long without breaks and in the wrong posture, muscles stay in the wrong contracted positions that's why we develop pain and tender points.

Most of us make the mistake of not taking breaks, and sitting on the computer for more than a few hours at a time. We have a duty to ourselves to take the time to breathe, stretch and strengthen in between being on the computer, so that our bodies don't develop aches and pains.

Wrong Postures When Sitting in Front of the Computer:

Physical Problems from Wrong Posture on the Computer:

Common Pain Areas with Wrong Posture from Computer Use:

(Back Pain, Neck and Shoulder Pain, Lower Back Pain)

Proper Posture When Using the Computer:

Here are three images and a Youtube video that show the proper way to sit on the computer, (to make sure that you are doing it correctly).

Here's a Youtube Video that shows us ways to correct our posture when using the computer:

Proper Posture for Computer Use to Prevent Back, Neck and Shoulder Pain:

STRETCHES TO PREVENT BACK PAIN FROM COMPUTER USE:

Notes when Stretching:

• When stretching, hold each stretch for at least 15 seconds (count 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 slowly)
• Take deep breaths while you stretch
• After the 15-second stretch, you may: 
• move into a deeper stretch, hold again for 15 seconds. or;
• take a break (30 seconds in between stretching sets) then repeat stretch
• Stretch each muscle groups 2 to 3 times a day.

1. NECK STRETCH ( To prevent and remove neck and shoulder pain from computer overuse or wrong posture)

This will help stretch the tight muscles in the neck caused by looking at the computer screen the wrong way.

Neck Stretch #2: 

2. CHEST/ PECTS STRETCH ( To prevent and remove shoulder and neck pain from computer overuse or wrong posture)

This stretch will help prevent your body from "naturally" curving and slouching forward. When we don't stretch this muscle group, or body will slouch foward by default, which causes pain in the shoulders and neck.

3. HIP FLEXORS STRETCH ( To prevent and remove back pain from computer overuse or wrong posture)

When we bend forward and slouch, muscles coming from our spine to our hips (hip flexors) get contracted. This causes us to "naturally" bend forward because of the muscle tightness. We need to always stretch our hip flexors so that our bodies easily stand and sit up straight. 
Stretching our hip flexors will help prevent pain in the lower back and it will also help correct our spine alignment to prevent neck and shoulder pain.

MUSCLES STRENGTHENING TO PREVENT BACK PAIN FROM COMPUTER USE:

When we strengthen our core, our muscles become strong enough to support our bones to be able to sit and stand properly. When our core muscles are weak, we slouch and sit and stand the wrong way, which makes our bones and wrong muscles to compensate.

Taytay Tiangge - Better than Divisoria, Greenhills at Eastwood Tiangge

Before anything else, share ko muna sainyo yung pinaka huli kong binili sa Taytay Tiangge para lalo kayong ma excite. Napaka ganda ng swimsuit na nabili ko lang sa halagang 200php (brand new syempre at bagong tahi) 180php lang sya pag bulk. At bulk na sakanila ang 6pcs. Hehe. 

My sister in Boracay wearing the swimsuit that I bought in Taytay Tiangge

Pinost ko sya sa Facebook at binenta ko ng 450. Kaso sa sobrang ganda, kapatid ko lang din ang bumili at ginamit nya sa Boracay. Gustong gusto nya din kasi yung mga nabibili ko dun kasi aside from maganda talaga eh super nice talaga ang quality.

Sabi nila, kung hindi mo alam ang Divisoria at Greenhills, hindi ka tunay na Pinoy. Sure akong kilalang kilala yan lalo na ng mga babaeng katulad ko na mahilig sa damit. Aaminin ko, napaka arte ko sa damit noon. Laking Bulacan kasi ako at tamad lumuwas para lang dun bumili. Ang nasa isip ko noon, “Naku, di naman matitibay mga damit dun. Pamasahe at pagod ko pa lang, ganun din yun.”

Nung tumira ako sa Manila, hindi pa din ako nahilig sa Divisoria. Ang dali naman kasi talaga masira ng mga damit dun. Tsaka madaming katulad yung mga damit. (Wow sa arte diba? Hehe) Pero may mga naging kaibigan ako na maganda daw talaga mamili dun at depende talaga daw sa taste mo. Madami daw talagang maganda. Nakapunta ako dun twice at di na ako bumalik. Nakakapagod! Napaka daming tao at nakakatakot ang snatcher! Hahaha.

Sa buhay ngayon, hindi na kasi talaga uso ang mag shopping ng mga damit sa mall. Pwera nalang talaga kung sobrang rich ka talaga at hindi mo problema ang pera. Meron akong kasama sa work dati, inaya nya ako sa Taytay. As in sobrang sarap daw mamili ng mga damit dun. Nakita nya kasi ako na mahilig sa dress at lagi daw kasi akong naka dress sa office.

Tutal wala naman akong ginagawa, sumama ako. Tatlo kaming nagpunta dun. At sa sobrang pagka amaze ko at sa sobrang aliw ko,talagang iniwan ko sila! Hahaha. Nag ikot ako mag isa at sobrang nag enjoy talaga ako.

Bibigyan ko kayo ng ilang dahilan kung bakit sobrang solid sa sarap bumili ng mga damit dun. At syempre, ipapakita ko sainyo yung mga nabili ko dun. Pati kayo matutuwa. :)

1. Alam nyo bang karamihan sa nagtitinda sa Divisoria ay sa Taytay Tiangge lang din bumibili? Yes, totoo yan.

2. Karamihan sa nagtitinda sa Taytay Tiangge ay sila mismo ang nagtatahi kaya talagang mura at maganda ang quality.

3. Pati yung mga nagtitinda sa Instagram, dun lang din bumibili.

4. Napaka daming unique styles ang nagkalat dun. Alam nila ang uso. Magugulat ka nalang sa sasabihin ng tindera, “Ate, ganyan yung bagong style ng Forever21 ngayon!”

5. Kung Instagram shopper ka, try mong pumunta sa Taytay Tiangge para makita mo na totoo ang sinasasabi ko.

6. Hindi nagkalat ang snatcher! Pwede kang maglabas ng cellphone. Haha! Pero syempre ingat pa din.

7. Maniwala ka man at sa hindi, ang dress na 350php sa Divisoria, 120-180php lang dun. 8.Isa ako sa sumubok magbenta ng mga damit online. Pwede nyo check yung account ko dati.. @p_fashionforless sa Instagram. Wag kayong mag alala at hindi ako nag popromote dahil matagal na yan. :) Para sa mga walang IG, ito yung iba sa mga nabili ko dun.

I bought this dress for 150php only

My lovely sister  :)

                                          

Kita nyo naman kung gano kamura ko binenta yan. 250php lang. Nabili ko lang yan ng 150 yata.

Ito naman yung iba. Like yung pink boho, less than 1 hundred ko yan nabili. Sa Eastwood, Divi or Greenhills, 200+ pa yata yan. Syempre meron din ako aside sa binenta ko dati. Lol

I bought this for 80php only and sold it for 180php. Please don't kill me! Lol

Syempre meron din ako :)

Pati yang mga swimsuits, dun ko yan lahat nabili.

Remember ha, yang mga mga presyo na nakikita nyo jan sa photos eh malaki na ang patong kasi tininda ko yan dati. So isipin nyo nalang kung gano kamura dun. :) Ang saya diba?

        

        

       

Kaya sa mga may balak mag shopping jan or magtinda ng mga damit online, I strongly suggest na sa pumunta na kayo agad sa Taytay Tiangge. Madali lang naman pumunta dun. Google nyo kung pano pumunta sa Club Manila East, dun lang yun.

Sa mga tamad mag google, syempre lulubos lubusin ko na kayo tulungan. Hehehe.

From Ortigas, just take G-Liner Bus na may "SM Taytay" signage. Dadaan na sila sa Club Manila East. Makikita nyo ang Jollibee at Mcdo, hindi nyo pwedeng hindi mapansin ang Taytay Tiangge kasi colorful sya. Basta nasa labas lang sya ng CME :)

Sa mga ayaw mag bus, pwede kayo mag jeep. From Ortigas Junction, may mgs jeep dun na "Taytay Palengke" ang signage. Kung manggagaling din kayo sa Sta. Lucia East Mall, ganun din ang pwede nyong sakyan.

P.S. Hindi na kayo mahihirapan maghanap ng pang regalo sa Christmas. Napaka dami dun na less than 100. Meron pa ngang 35php at 50php na blouse. Too good to be true diba? And I can feel na sobrang excited ka. :) Happy shopping! :)
