Never Too Late For That Flat Belly
The summer is
almost over, but it is never too late to get that flat belly that you have
always wanted!
Did you know there are many foods that actually work to reduce
belly fat? Well here are a few listed
below!
1. Raspberries (as well as strawberries and blueberries) are packed
with fiber, which keeps you feeling full longer (and—ahem—more regular).
Plus they are packed with vitamin C, which is good for your immune system as
well as your skin.
2. Kale is a natural anti-inflammatory; it helps reduce bloat
and it also revs up the metabolism because it is a flavanoid Eat up!
3. Oatmeal maintains blood sugar levels so you don’t crash and
binge. Plus it’s full of fiber so it will keep you satiated.
4. Low-fat yogurt not only has calcium, but it is also a pro-biotic
that fights fat storage and prevents bloat.
5. Almonds are packed with healthy fats that reduce food
cravings while building muscle. Consider almonds the ultimate power snack.
6. Salmon is full of omega-3 fatty acids, which help bump up
your metabolism so your body burns fat faster and more efficiently.
7. Watermelon is—just as you expected—full of water (about 92% to
be exact). It actually helps flush extra water from your system, which in turn
reduces puffiness.
8. Garlic is a magical thing. It helps reduce fat in the liver,
it detoxifies and it lessens bloating. To maximize its benefits, take a few
fresh slivers of garlic and sandwich them between two thinly sliced apple
wedges and smear them with a little honey. Eat this before bed to reap all the
benefits.
9. Avocado is loaded with lots of healthy fats that burn fat
while providing your body with energy.
10. Quinoa is a magical whole grain
that is packed with protein (11 grams for just a half cup) and fiber so it
keeps you feeling full longer.
Hopefully these help! Tell us some of your
favorite foods or recipes that you use to demolish that unwanted belly fat!

Quick Tattoo Concealing
Whether
you are preparing for an interview or getting ready for your big day,
concealing a tattoo can be a pain. If this is your dilemma, here is a quick
three-step process to temporarily conceal tattoos that many celebrities use.
(1) Dab a heavier concealer (like LancĂ´me Maquicomplet
Concealer, $27.50) that matches your skin tone over your ink as well as an inch
around it.
(2) Then rip a makeup sponge in half (the rough
edge diffuses any hard lines), and blot to blend everything in.
(3) Mist on a spray foundation to make the coverage look seamless
and give another layer of camouflage.
(4) Dust on a translucent powder with a big
powder brush to set things in place.
Suggested by
celeb makeup artist Mary Burton.
