How Can I Increase My Breast Size Through Exercise?

November 9, 2009

I was asked a great question recently that went something like this… “I have two kids, what can I do to perk up my breasts?”

Not only is this a great question from a workout point of view but I also work for a breast center so I can get a bit into this one.

Breast tissue is primary composed of two things: fat and glandular tissue. As we get older, unfortunately, the breast begins a downward cycle of moving from glandular to a more fatty makeup. In fact, did you know that your breast do not even mature until after your first child? This means that post birth the cycle is starting. Which is good for you.

To get the breasts you had in your early twenties is going to be challenging. There is nothing that will change your breast in a reverse cycle but there are quite a few tricks you can do to get them to appear as if they are.

1. Since the breast is fat if you lose weight then you are going to lose breast weight as well. For some women (including myself) this is the first place I notice weight change. Now the bad part is you can not target weight loss areas, so if you do not want to lose body weight in other places as well then you may be out of luck. But with a healthy diet, increased cardio, and more weight training the weight will come off. My thing is if the girls get smaller then there is less to be “saggy”.

2. Train the pectoralis muscles. These are the muscles that find a safe haven behind the breasts. When you look at a guy with nice pecks, try to think how that might help your chest look if they were behind your breasts. You have two pectoralis groups: the minor and major. Both need to be worked to get the greatest benefits. How do you do that? Use heavy weights to help gain mass. 3 set minimum of 3 reps is best. So think 95% or more of you 1 rep max.

Here are some recommended exercise moves:

Incline chest press

Standard barbell chest press

Rows

Pullup

Punching a punching bag

and the ALMIGHTLY PUSHUP

are all great workouts. For pushups and pullups just do as many as you can till failure.

Think, if you are losing breast fat but gaining chest muscle your breast will still be very much there, just perhaps may remind you of your youth!

TIP: If you ever think of getting implants please consider only having them placed in the position surgeons call “behind the muscle” . The implant is placed behind the peck muscle. This is better because when the time comes for mammograms, which should first be done between ages 35-40 then every year after 40, it allows the breast tissue to still be observed and if for some reason additional procedures need to be done (biopsies, ultrasound, treament) your radiologist will thank you. That is my soap box speech.

Designer Wallets – A Must Have Accessory For Your Designer Handbag

November 1, 2009

Designer wallets are a must-have when carrying your designer handbag. What woman doesn’t want to have the matching wallet to her handbag? Every woman does! It just looks better. Women feel better when they pull out their wallet in public and it matches their bag.

These wallets have a quality to them that not all wallets have. Some are affordable and offer the same functionality and durability that the handbags do. They even have the same designs on them that the bags have making it easy to match or mix & match.

They come in a variety of styles and colors as well as multiple sizes. Checkbook wallets or just the checkbook covers are available with the same emblem on them as the handbags. You can not go wrong when buying a designer handbag, but if you have one and no designer wallet, then your look is not complete.

The wallet doesn’t necessarily have to be the exact design as the handbag, though. That is the good thing about wallets. Most wallets are made so that each individual style can be met. You may want a solid color wallet like the leather to go with your handbag. And, that is cool!

If you want to add color to your solid color handbag, you can do that by getting a bumblebee wallet, doodle wallet or any designer wallet. Some wallets are designed with an explosion of color.

No matter which designer wallet you choose to go with your designer handbag, the choice you made is always a great one. If you don’t own a designer handbag right now, it’s okay to put your new wallet in your other bag for now. The designer wallet and handbag is a fabulous look together, but hey…as long as the colors of the wallet match your other bag, it will keep until you do get your handbag. I have been known to carry my Dooney wallet in my non-Dooney handbag. Sometimes I will change my bag but get a bit lazy and go out without changing my wallet. Shh, don’t tell anyone.

I hope you can find that perfect designer wallet that is perfect for you. They are so cute and best of all, so affordable. Some of the names of the wallets are: signature, “it”, doodle, vintage leather, leather, bumblebee, quilt, and croco. There are several others that are on that list as well. Go ahead and look for yourself and get your wallet.

When searching for these amazing designer wallets, be sure to go online and save yourself a huge chunk of your money. Buying from online is always the cheapest place to find designer wallets, other accessories or just about anything. When you are looking for that wallet to go with your handbag, shopping online for it from places like eBay will insure you the best prices around. You can’t beat the low prices that online shops offer over retail. Go ahead and look for yourself.

Look for the wallets that have the combo wallet/handbag together. Those are the most economical to get. You can get a Dooney handbag retailed at $400, online for as low as $250.00, and get the matching wallet(bought separately online) for $150. But, if you get them together online, you could pay as much as $325 for the set. You still paid less for the set than you would for just the handbag in-stores. It’s like getting the wallet for free because the prices are brought down much lower. You are actually getting more for your buck.

Again, go ahead and look for yourself and get your wallet, today. One other thing, you have to get to these wallets online now because they go very quickly. Good Luck!

Christian Audigier At The LA Fashion Week Spring 2008

October 27, 2009

Christian Audigier says that the theme of his Spring 2008 collection shown at LA’s Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week on Tuesday afternoon is “La Vie en Rose,” but a better moniker might be “Trashy French Vamp,” or even “Flashdance on Acid,” based on the styles he sent down the black-carpet-and-glitter runway.

The men fared better than the women in the Audigier show; they mostly wore his signature wildly patterned oversize hoodies, all embellished with the designer’s name and assorted other motifs, usually executed in glittery crystals, studding, and embroidery. Most were paired with jeans, encrusted with Audigier’s huge signature across the backside, again done in glitter, sometimes paired with a giant skull, other times with similar tattoo-inspired motifs. There was a military bent to many of the men’s styles, too; the first male model even wore a military beret and saluted the photographers at the end of the runway. Vests were big, too, and long, slouchy cutoff pants added a street gang vibe.

To make sure the women in the audience (including Brandy, Bai Ling, and chart-topping singer Bettina) got a little eye candy, the designer sent a few male models out wearing nothing but a skimpy pair of camouflage underwear, then added a variation of hooded superhero capes worn over the undies, unzipped for effect at runway’s end. One was but that skin show was nothing to what Christian Audigier presented on the women. There was the white micro-mini tee-shirt dress, worn over tan panties, garter belt, and sheer stockings ; the black bra, garter belt, and sheer stockings worn with a wide-open olive-toned raincoat; skin-tight patterned gold leggings worn with a slouchy, off-the-shoulder patterned tee (shades of “Flashdance” and Eighties style there); and a black bra, paired with a black feather boa, and a see-through pair of tan knickers worn over black panties. Hooker chic, indeed, and the sort of streetwear that sends a working-girl message.

Audigier’s capper, a series of looks that combined completely sheer tulle skirts in bright colors of pink, green and electric blue displaying the panties and garters underneath, paired with hoodies and matching berets, are an evening look that isn’t likely to make it to any Hollywood red carpets.
But as David Hasselhoff, who brought his teenage daughter Hayley to see the collection, commented to Audigier after the show, “I liked it; the girls looked great!” No word on whether he’ll let his girl show her Audigier underwear in public, however.

Transition Sunglasses: Long-Term Protection for Your Eyes

October 24, 2009

The hole in the ozone layer is growing bigger. Melting polar ice caps aside, it’s getting hotter and brighter all around. A person becomes hard pressed to protect oneself and one’s family from the harmful effects of the oppressive sun. Our entire bodies are vulnerable, but no body part is more vulnerable to high temperatures and direct contact with sunlight as our eyes. There are a couple of great ways to protect your eyes, such as eyedrops, visors, and of course – transition sunglasses.

Sunglasses are a staple wardrobe in sunny weather, of course, but why transition sunglasses especially? What are the additional benefits that places them a cut above other kinds of shades? Are they, in fact, better than other types of sunglasses? Actually, they are just one kind of sunglasses, with a twist – you can use them indoors and outdoors without sacrificing much of your clarity of vision.

You must have heard the song, or at least the phrase, “I wear my sunglasses at night.” In spite of the kitsch, this phrase may well have a grain of truth in it. You can, in fact, wear sunglasses at night if they happen to be transition. The term “transition” refers to the specially crafted lenses that diffuse light. This quality of the lenses allows them to regulate and equalize the amount of light that reaches your eyes, making sure your eyes aren’t strained by the glare of the lighting, in case you are outdoors or in a very well-lit indoor environment. Regarding nighttime or dimly-lit rooms, however, these special lenses do not exactly equalize the light in the room. Rather, it tones down its anti-glare properties, and enables you to see better than if you were using regular dark-tinted shades.

Sounds like magic, doesn’t it? For the kind of glare protection allowed by shades like these, they are well worth the price you pay. Indeed, transition sunglasses tend to be slightly more expensive than regular shades. But unlike other kinds of sunglasses, they can be used in a wider variety of situations and settings. And if they happen to come with wraparound frames that fit snugly on your face and physically keep your eyes safe from direct exposure to irritant lighting. This problem with the ozone layer may continue to affect us for a long time, worsening with each year, if nothing is done about it. In the meantime, it is best to be conscious about your surroundings and your health.

What Is In Your Dream Closet?

October 20, 2009

Is your closet full of old and out-dated clothing? Or is the clothing in your closet new and up-to-the latest fashion styles? No matter whether you have a closet full of pieces that you still wear (and many that you just do not want to part with); having some of the important classic pieces is not only a dream, it is a must.

The wardrobe of any fashion conscious woman includes classic pieces that are fashionable, and also includes clothing that is coordinated and matches your personality. Many of these classic clothing choices may include your basic colors, shoes appropriate for each occasion, and accessories for special evening or daytime events.

Your choices also depends on your tastes. However, when buying any classic piece, it must be well made in a quality fabric. Classic pieces that are well made wear better, feel better, and will always look better on you. Some quality fabrics used for classic styles are lightweight wool gabardine, silk, cotton, linen, cashmere, and some in textured yarns. Go an extra step and make sure all pieces fit well. If not, have your outfit altered by professional tailors, especially if you have a change in your weight or size. It is worth the extra money.

Ten of the most important classic pieces that must go into the closet of your dreams include:

One. That all-important little black dress (and gray is becoming the new black this season). A black dress is flexible and can go from day to evening with the addition of a jeweled belt, or a luxurious satin, or velvet jacket or long tunic. And for even more different and elegant looks, add a scarf, several necklaces, or different leather, fabric, or chain belts.

Two. A single strand of pearls to wear with your little black dress. Pearls also give an elegant look to a turtle neck sweater and classy jeans.

Three. An all-weather coat, better known as the trench coat is especially good and can be worn with a casual or dressy outfit. A neutral colored trench, when worn over a bright dress or skirt and top, stands out on those gloomy days.

Four. A black or navy blue solid color blazer makes a great fashion statement.

Five. At least three pairs of pumps in good condition and in good quality leather are always suitable. Leather shoes can be worn with either day or evening wear. So, save your fabric shoes in suede, satin, and kid for your evening wear.

Six. A three-piece suit includes your jacket, skirt and pants in a solid color, and may be in one of the classic fabrics or fibers. Make sure it coordinates with your basic colors. It can be in a lightweight wool or flannel, and tailored in simple lines. Select one without trimming, and with full-length sleeves. The skirt can be straight or slim, and pants in a straight-leg cut gives a more elegant, tailored look.

A long sleeve white cotton shirt with or without French cuffs is always a must. Keep it clean and crisp for that professional look and feel.

Eight. Slacks in a Khaki fabric are versatile and can stand up to a harsh winter.

Nine. A Cashmere sweater or twin sweater set gives you many different looks. Choose one that is plain and simple, and dress it up with pearls or a scarf, or choose a seductive and bold set for that touch of sophistication . It is your choice.

Ten. Jeans. Keep them current and classy. Dry-clean or press them yourself after washing. Jeans worn with dramatic T-shirts or tops are great for mixing and matching outfits.

To top off any outfit, whether the occasion is casual, or for an elegant evening, a smile adds to your confidence and self-esteem. A positive self image must be a part of the wardrobe of every woman who wishes to dress well. Nothing looks better on a woman than her confidence and pride.

Now make classic styles and elegant dressing an important part of your dream closet.

Aprons The Necessary Accessory

October 19, 2009

For employees who cook in a restaurant kitchen or work in the dining room waiting tables, wearing an apron is often a uniform requirement. While they serve the purpose of preventing grease or coffee spills from soiling work uniform pants and shirts, aprons are also a handy attachment to tote customer needs.

For a waiter or waitress, who usually wear just a half apron that wraps around their waists, it’s important that the frock contain several accessible pocket compartments in which to carry necessities for the job. Not only is this convenient for the time-pressed server, but it will also impress a dine-in customer when the item needed is right at the finger tips of their attendant.

Items which should be carried by a waiter in their apron should include an ordering tablet, two or three pens, straws and matches. If feasible, extra condiments should also be allowed for as part of the supply load, like catsup bottles or packets and creamer and butter samplers. But be sure to protect liquid products from creating a mess within the apron this happens to even the best of servers! Sometimes, in the rush to fill a demanding customer’s coffee cup, leaning up against the counter or dining table causes a juicy explosion. It is best to keep those types of additives in a side pocket where they are safer.

Yet another issue that accompanies server aprons is the attached adjustable ties that are supposed to be secured on the back side of the waiter. As people come in all shapes and sizes, fastening these strings can be a side-show all in itself. Larger wasted people may have a difficult time tying a bow where the two ends meet because there simply is not enough material. Thinner servers may have to wrap the ties around two or three times before accomplishing a bow to secure the apron. A possible solution would be for management to purchase aprons which will accommodate any shape or size or server to allow for a more uniformed appearance of their staff.

Color choices for restaurant cook aprons usually aren’t that significant. The full cover aprons of the dishwashers, fry cooks and salad makers are rarely seen by the dining public. That is probably a good thing; chances are those hard-working employees in the back are wearing everything from sauces to sautes! Choosing a shade for the waitresses, waiters, hostesses and bus boy’s aprons is a bit more unrestricted and allows for a creative presentation which compliments the decor of the restaurant dining room or color scheme of the table clothes and furniture.

Lastly, when choosing aprons for restaurant employees, select material that can easily be washed and sanitized and does not require too much effort for stain removal. Although employees are hard-working and dependable, they also have lives outside of the restaurant that may restrict time for uniform upkeep. If possible, provide at least two aprons to each server or cook.
