2. laugh! laughing for 10-15 minutes each day will burn over 50 calories , just the more reason to watch comedies and see friends!

3. While the kettles boiling squeeze your bum really hard , and only until the kettle is ready un tense , this will also burn calories and you will get a toned , jiggle free bum that women strive for!

4. Dehydration causes your metabolic rate to drop , so keep water near and always stay hydrated!

5. Cut out tv dinners from your lifestyle , try to focus on what your meant to be doing , which is eating. the body will will take more notice of the food and you will physiologically feel fuller for longer.

Hello headgear!

Okay , so we all know about the cute little headbands we all used to keep our hair out of our face when we were young children , but headbands don't have to be associated with little girls like i have always done. Headgear can be stylish and sexy , with a fair price tag and super chic designs. Try chiffon & lace , metal & some studs in your hair to style up any outfit!
The celebrity who brought this style to my attention was the gorgeous pixie lott , who mixes rocker , boho chic with femininity to create some of the most stylish outfits seen.

here she is seen with a super cute floral headband , sporting the style incredibly.. It gives her a fun , girly
vibe but her outfit shows rocker chic , with a black and leopard print dress!

The next one , which is actually one of my all time favourites, actually drove me to find out where it was from and purchase it myself , i got it from asos at a bargain of £12! so snap yours up now , visit www.asos.com:)! its from lipsy which was an easy way of me finding it as pixie is a representative for them , sporting her own line of fashion:)! here it is , the one and only gold garland headband! It mixes simple with chic and its a classic , one that will never go out of style:)!






Mostly every shop has headbands , so be your own savvy stylist and snap up a  super cute hairband for this season , not only will it complete your outfit  , but if you happen to have a photo taken and its only of your head , you will still look stylish , headbands are also great for the gym , p.e class and parties , so have fun all you savvy stylers!
