<p>You know this annoying overstuffed feeling you get from time to time? Yes, its the feeling that makes you feel like you gained a couple of kilos but your scale aren’t showing them. That is what we call bloating, a feeling that each person feels at a point and would love to avoid/ de-bloat.</p>
<p>Well ladies (and in this case gentlemen too) keep reading to know the causes of bloating and how to get rid of it!</p>
<p><strong>According to the research we did bloating and excessive stomach gas is caused by the following: </strong></p>
<p><strong></strong>Fluid Retention/Water Retention-PMS-Stress</p>
<p><strong>Here are some easy natural tips to help you debloat:</strong></p>
<p>-Drink Water: It cleans out your system and help your body feel hydrated so it wouldn’t actually retain additional water resulting in bloating.</p>
<p>-Eat fiber: They help flush out your system and get rid of any constipation you may have.</p>
<p>-Stop eating air: We know this sounds silly but seriously if you eat and talk, chew gum or smoke shisha it results in you swallowing more air resulting in more in your digestive system.</p>
<p>-Avoid salt: More salt lead to water retention and swelling so reduce your intake and drink more water to flush the excess out.</p>

<p>So you have MINX, nail stickers, Shellac and all these options that are meant to make your color stay up to 2 weeks which is great but what if you don’t have the time or money to visit the salon to got the above done?</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Well ladies we discovered by chance an alternative that makes your manicure last slightly longer. The OPI Ridge Filler what its actually meat to do is to smooth out your nail and make it stronger but what we also realized is that it helped keep our regular manicure last around 3-4 days more than it usually put. Not only that, you can buy it from any OPI seller at the same price of OPI nail polish and do it home. That’s what we call SCORE!!</p>

<p>1.Exfoliate! Exfoliate! Exfoliate! For brighter skin you need to remove dull dead skin cells to reveal the fresh ones, this is done through daily gentle exfoliation.</p>
<p>2.Exercise refreshes your skin through increased circulation, pumping nutrients to the skin that helps with the renewal.</p>
<p>3.“You are what you eat”, unfortunately this saying is almost 100% true. For great skin you need to feed it and nourish it from the inside so it would reflect on the outside. Fruits, vegetables and omega-3 supplements are all high on antioxidants that protect the skin.</p>
<p>4.Moisturize like you live in the desert (literally). A little tip is to moisturize while the skin is damp to lock in moisture.</p>
<p>5.Don’t leave your house without SPF 15 (or higher). Avoid premature skin damage and aging by using a morning moisturizer with built-in SPF.</p>
<p>6.Don’t sleep with your make up on. We’re all guilty of doing it when we’ve had a late night and couldn’t be bothered to remove our make up, however its essential to avoid blocked pores, breakouts&#8230;etc.</p>
<p>7.Be gentle on your eyes. Don’t scratch, stretch or rub the skin around the eyes is extra sensitive and thin be gentle when you’re applying or removing make up in that area.</p>
<p>8.Finally, keep your foundation and make up simple to allow your natural skin radiance to shine through. (Tip: you can use a skin illuminator after you moisturize to give your skin extra radiance)</p>

<p>You know the times when you say I’m having an early night sleep today at 10 pm but actually fall asleep at 1 am and then wonder the next day at work when you’re tired and grumpy how this happened. Well with all the stress and distractions that surrounds us it really can be difficult to sleep early at a set time.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Check out these tips we brainstormed that really helped us sleep earlier:</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>-Write the next day’s todo list before you sleep so you can forget about it till the morning and stop mentally going through it.</p>
<p>-Have a no coffee rule after lunch time and instead drink some relaxing green tea.</p>
<p>-Stay away from your email, facebook, laptop etc&#8230; at least an hour before bed. Instead pick up a book or a magazine to help you snooze out.</p>
<p>-Stabilize your body clock by giving yourself a daily bedtime and stick to it. Even if you don’t fall asleep on time the first couple of days your body will get used to it eventually.</p>

<p>Cat eyes add instant glamour and make your lashes look fuller. Get this instant cool look by choosing a pen eyeliner for a steadier hand.</p>
<p>Start at the lashes with thin strokes and make it thicker as you extend it towards your eyes outer edge, for a flirty 50’s look flick the line upwards as you approach the edge of the eye.</p>
<p>*For added glam lightly trace you inner bottom lid with a light black pencil and add loads of mascara.</p>
