How to choose a swimsuit?

The swimsuit is indeed the essential piece of your wardrobe this summer. It is important to choose it according to your silhouette in order to highlight your look and your greatest assets. For that, you just have to learn how to play shapes, types of swimsuits and colors. So, you still do not know if you will opt for a trikini, bikini or a one-piece swimsuit? Do not panic girls, this guide is for you!

Your silhouette is an inverted pyramid: a rather athletic look, you have broad shoulders, hips and little buttocks. Bet on feminine shapes and if you prefer a one-piece swimsuit better to choose a beautiful V-neck. For 2-piece swimsuits you can choose a top-shaped balconette "push-up" for more shape at the level from your chest and a pair of shorts or even a shorty. And to harmonize everything, you can accessorize your ensemble with a sarong of the same color.

You have a silhouette of rectangular shape or "H", very common among French: rather thin, your shoulder and your hips are the same width with a small size. You have to refine your size and redraw your curves. So, avoid at all costs square necklines, bonnets or horizontal stripes! In contrast, you can adopt a bikini with thin straps that is tied around the neck and sides of your hips. And to bring volume, head for frilly models, flying or knots. If you choose to wear a one-piece swimsuit, prefer the shaping shape, worked at the cut and straps. In any case, opt for women's swimsuits with details or prints even jeweled for a more harmonious silhouette.

You have the pyramid look: with hips wider than your shoulders and very feminine curves. You must highlight your chest, for this the best is the bikini with triangular shapes, balconies or headbands developed with textured fabrics, shiny or printed that will give relief. And to focus more on the upper body, wear flashy colors. For the bottom, opt for a low waist and indented low bikini, for thinner legs, matte color without too much volume.

Finally, attach the wick to the back of the bun and camouflage the rest under the two loops of the knot. You can also stretch both parts of the bun and come and fix them with flat pliers.

And for those who have medium-length hair, just leave on a base of half-tail and proceed in the same way.

Master The Rope Braid Hairstyle In 5 Steps

With all the variations of the classic braid making a splash in the hairstyling world, it’s safe to say that the plaited pigtails of your youth are a distant memory.

If you’re looking to update your usual fishtail braid for a chic alternative which brings the flowing locks of Rapunzel to mind, you may want to try the rope braid. Here’s an easy hair tutorial which will help you embrace the look this season.

1) Start off by spritzing your tresses with dry shampoo: Before you begin crafting your impeccable braid, prepare your strands by spraying dry shampoo. If you’re working with second day locks, dry shampoo can help eliminate unwanted greasy residue or an oily scalp. Use your fingers to work the shampoo through your strands, and carefully brush your locks with a paddle brush.

2) Begin braiding a thin segment of hair near your face: Once your locks are smooth, take a thin, face-framing section of hair on one side of your visage. Next, braid this segment against one side of your head.

3) Integrate this section into the rest of your hair: Continue plaiting the rest of your locks into one thick side braid, and carefully incorporate the side-braided section into the larger braid. This should bring a textured, voluminous effect to your locks. As you work through your locks, twist the ends of your hair to produce a heavy, ropelike effect.

4) Add texture to your hairstyle: After you’ve fastened your rope braid with an elastic band, texturize your hairstyle by gently pulling strands near your crown loose. Continue to bring your fingers through your rope braid, as you loosen sections where needed for a natural, bohemian finish.

5) Finish off with hairspray to maintain your look: Lock in your gorgeous new hairstyle with a spritz of hairspray to keep your braid in place. Use high hold hairspray if you have naturally thick or long locks, and enjoy your new look!

The Keto Diet- Here’s Everything You Should Know

What Is It?

Photo Source: ketovale.com

As a type of very low carbohydrate diet, the Keto Diet (which is officially known as the ketogenic diet) is said to encourage the body’s metabolism to burn fat rather than glucose or sugar. In order to make the switch, the diet puts the system into a state known as ketosis. Instead of converting the carbohydrates into energy, ketosis allows the body to eliminate fat. Once the body enters ketosis, it will then begin to burn substances known as ketones, which are created once the fat is burned. As part of the diet, high-fat foods are permitted, with restrictions in place on grains such as pasta and baked goods.


What Does The Diet Offer?

The Keto Diet is said to result in rapid weight loss, along with lowering the body’s blood sugar levels. According to Ketogenic Diet Resource, the presence of ketones in the system can help to treat patients who suffer from diabetes, epilepsy and Alzheimer’s. Followers of the diet must monitor their carbohydrate intake, and stick to a high fat and moderate protein menu. As a rule, daily carbohydrate consumption must be between 20 to 60 grams. While fat will not alter your levels of blood sugar, overindulging in protein is said to lead to an increase in blood sugar. As a result, the diet aims to minimize carbs and control your levels of protein, while placing the focus on lean fats.


Menu Ideas

If you’re eating the ketogenic way, start off your morning with a cheddar and chive omelette or a bowl of cinnamon oatmeal. For lunch, Keto Diet followers can tuck into an avocado salad made with hard-boiled eggs, fresh lettuce and drizzled olive oil. To wind down a hectic day, try preparing a Keto-friendly dinner of roasted salmon served with steamed broccoli and lemon.


Should You Try It?

While the Keto Diet can quickly help the body shed water weight, a ketogenic meal plan may also lead to unwanted side effects such as fatigue. According to Healthline.com, the ketones that are introduced into the system can result in a dangerous condition known as ketoacidosis, which caused the blood to become acidic. In extreme cases, ketogenic diets can also lead to heart problems. However, the diet also claims to reduce levels of harmful cholesterol and to lower the body’s levels of triglycerides (which are blood lipids). If you’re considering the Keto Diet, it may be a smart health move to consult with your family physician or a dietician first.

In one of her captions on her Facebook post, Goff explains her passion for art from a young age and her inspiration for creating these innovative hairstyles.  “I have done art since I was 5, first developing hand skills as a sketcher, and then expanding those skills into color by working with acrylics, tempera, and especially water colors. I tend to color hair much the same way I color a canvas, using the same sorts of color application techniques and identical color theory. So in honor of my art background being so useful, I thought I’d do a Fine Art series.”
