There’s a huge event coming and you’d like to look a lot better than your usual self. You tell yourself that you need to commit 2 hours in the gym everyday for the next three days, but you end up canceling your gym appointments due to your busy schedule.
Let’s face it. We all want to look our best, but time can always be a problem. But you don’t have to miss out on looking good with these few tricks that can help you look slimmer without breaking a sweat!
1. Get a Self-Tan
Every girl should own a bottle of tanning gel or spray. Tanning gives your legs a more elongated look, and it comes highly recommended in case you plan to wear a show-stopping minidress.
2. Drink Lemon Juice
Drinking lemon juice in the morning before you have your breakfast will help your body flush out any toxins from the day before. Squeeze half a lemon in water, and you’ll begin to feel a few pounds lighter.
3. Eat a Healthy Meal
Avoid consuming carb-rich foods like rice, pastas and white bread as it’ll make you bloat for a couple of hours. Instead, focus on consuming lots of protein like chicken breast, vegetables and fruit. Looking slimmer is not about starving yourself. Eat the right kinds of food and you’ll notice you’ll look a lot better.
4. Wear Good Underwear
You can certainly put on a pair of Spanx when you’re going to rock a tight body-con, but don’t forget that you should also wear the right bra too! A lot of women don’t wear their right bra size, so head to a bra store and get a professional fitting. The right bra will lift your breasts and pull up your stomach muscles, which make you look longer and leaner.
5. Add Volume to Your Hair
There must be a reason women in the 60’s loved big, voluminous hair. The logic behind it – the bigger the hair volume, the slimmer your body appears. Stay away from tying your hair into a pony tail. If you like wearing your hair up, create a high messy bun. Avoid showing your whole face by letting your bangs frame your face as it’ll keep it from looking larger.
