Quite frankly, we don't care and we're tired of the constant overkill given to us by the Press! We all have our hangups and gripes over certain features and flaws in our body compose, hips too wide, nose too big, lips too small. We're all guilty of this. it's time to put down the magazines, turn off E! News today and start to embrace those flaws you have, after all, there's only one of you!
Beoynce's video for 'Pretty Hurts' from her latest album says a lot about todays culture.
With that said there are everyday things we can do to enhance, hide or change the bits we don't like. Below are some images of the 'Before' and 'Afters' of popular celebs.

| Rihana's constant change in hair color only adds to her Pop stardom image! Bottom left hand picture she sports a natural, 'Girl Next Door' look compared to her more recent 'Siren Vixen' pop art colors of blonde and red. Just think what even a subtle color change can do for you! |

5 WAYS TO REVAMP YOUR IMAGE!
1. Exercise; If your arms are turning to bingo wings or guys your stomach is eclipsing your belt line, then there's only one sure thing for that and its exercise! Do any of these excuses sound like you, "I'll start my diet tomorrow" or "I'm just too busy to fit in the gym"? Well, talk is cheap! Boost your morale with the healthy release of some endorphin! Just even 20 mins a day of working out or getting active can have a life changing effect on your body. Besides, has any one ever felt bad after leaving a workout? Or worse yet died?! I think not! |
| Did you know...That 20 minutes of skipping is equivalent to 30 minutes of jogging! But without the high impact! |
 |
| To tone or no to tone? That is the question! |
2. Makeup In recent years, I have really seen the importance of learning and better getting to know what a bit of makeup can do to hide and enhance my facial features. Be it a warm gold to bring out my hazel eyes, a highlight to accentuate my high cheekbones, heck! a well groomed eye brow can frame or break a face! My favorite and current obsession (shared by masses it seems!) is the art of contouring!
Countouring can lean out a broad tipped nose without the heft cost of a plastic surgeon, hide dark circles and blemishes and really make your face POP! but in a good way! Again, I often consult for my clients on this during their makeovers. If your cash or time poor thou there's plenty of tutorial videos on You Tube or your local makeup counter at a department store can advise you on the how to's. Don't forget to ask for samples of the products they try on you as you'd be pleasantly surprised to learn how readily they're available to you! Just ask!
Guys Grooming itself is vital to either pulling your look together for a sharp, clean and handsome appearance or letting you down all together! Girls don't want scruffy or a guy who looks like he's been living in a bat cave (that is unless your Tom Hardy! tee hee!). You don't need to spend hours in the bathroom or lots of money even to get a good grooming routine going! Just remember, a wash/cleanser/toner, shave, a great hair cut and manicured nails can do wonders for your confidence and social life!

| Personally one of my favorite of the James Bond characters, Daniel Craig. Not necessarily Hollywood's cookie cutter of the best looking. But his rough around the edges look balanced with the contrast of his steely beard, and piercing blue eyes add to enhance a mysterious handsome character.
