Spring Break Bikini Body – Guarantee all Eyes on You

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

Did you enjoy the holidays a little too much this year. You may have enjoyed the holidays and were sad to see them go but aren’t happy with the extra pounds that stayed around. The warm weather is approaching and Spring Break is creeping up on you. Its time to loose those extra pounds and be bikini ready for Spring Break. Is it possible? Anything is Possible! Follow the simple tips below and you will be wearing your bikini on Spring Break in no time. Spring break Bikini Tip #1: Prepare Spring break is right around the corner, so you need to be prepared to give this weight loss plan your all. The best way to accomplish this is to get yourself motivated. You need to prepare yourself for the hard work and dedication it is going to take. You need to visually picture the body you want and keep that vision implanted in your head throughout this program. A big part of loosing weight is mental which is why its important to mentally be prepared when you begin a weight loss program. Spring break Bikini Tip #2: Buddy Power Loosing weight is hard and it is difficult to stay motivated which why having a weight loss buddy can be beneficial. Find a friend that has similar weight loss goals. Together you can motivate each other and work together to get ready for Spring break. Spring break Bikini Tip #3: Say Good Bye to Junk Food Now that you’ve found your motivation, it’s time to focus your mind on eating healthy. Eating healthy in college is not easy. College is king of junk food and unhealthy food which makes this one of the most difficult parts of this plan. However to succeed in weight loss it is one of the most important. You need to learn what are healthy food choices and to stick with them. Convincing yourself that the celery stick you’re eating is ten times better than some greasy French fry will not be easy but just keep envisioning yourself in your bikini and it will make those decisions easier. To help keep the junk food cravings under control it is important to plan your meals and snacks. By doing this you won’t be left hungry and eating the first thing you see. You can bring healthy snacks with you to class and a bottle of water which will satisfy your hunger. Spring break Bikini Tip #4: No Beer Belly College is also King of Beer and parties. As your friends are downing beer by the gallons, remind yourself that beer is laden with calories your body doesn’t need. Save the beer guzzling for your spring break parties. If you are out partying and want to drink try a diet soda with vodka or rum(my favorite is diet coke and rum). This has much less calories but still allows you to be social. Do not give in to your cravings for junk food. Ask yourself before putting that garbage into your mouth, “Is this food more important than looking great for spring break? Keep a supply of healthy foods available so temptation won’t get the best of you. Make sure the healthy foods you stock are easy to prepare (or, better yet, pre-prepared for you) and taste good if you want to realistically fight off those junk food temptations. Spring break Bikini Tip #5: Couch Potato, time is Over The last step in Spring break weight loss is exercising. I know those are dreaded words but words we must follow. There are many different ways in which you can incorporate exercise into your daily routine. Most colleges have a gym that is free for students to use. If you are not familiar with the equipment in the gym or what type of workout to follow ask a trainer or someone that works at the gym. They tend to be knowledgeable and can help you out. If the gym is not for you another option is to get outside. You can go for a walk, rollerblading, hiking anything that gets your heart rate up is good. If you don’t want to leave your dorm room the last option is working out in your room. There are a million workout DVDs that you can purchase which you can do right from the comfort of your room. You can also download workouts onto your Ipod and do them as well. The options are endless for working out. Pick and option, try something new, get off the couch. Remember it takes hard work to be that look smoking hot girl walking down the beach but there is no reason why that can’t be you. Follow the weight loss tips provided above so that all eyes will be on you and your sexy body as you grace the beaches, clubs, and parties. What you just learned about Spring Break is just the beginning.

The Bikini is my Friend

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010

The bikini doesn’t have to be a frightening prospect. You may be sat there in front of your PC right now thinking to yourself that when you go on holiday this year, you may just go for a one piece swimsuit and an extra large towel to hide under. Don’t forget though, that you are your own worst critic. There are a number of things you can do to ensure you look your best on the beach this Summer. The first is to make sure you choose the right size bikini. If you have put on a few pounds since you got married or had the kids or whatever, then your current bikini may be a little tight, and this is one of the biggest reasons why it may not look as good as it once did. And is probably the reason why you are here on the Beach Garments website looking for a new one. First of all, measure yourself properly and make sure you buy the right size bikini. This is where a bikini has an advantage over the one piece swim suit. Bikinis come in two parts. Why not buy them in two parts? La Senza for example specialise in producing bikinis which fit like underwear with cup sizes and waist sizes that mix and match to ensure the perfect outfit (actually quite a lot of the other swimwear brands do this too). What’s more La Senza don’t believe in adding cost just because you are a bigger cup size. All their bikini tops are priced exactly the same no matter what your cup size. If you are unsure of how sizes from different countries compare, take a look at our size chart. The next thing is to ensure you choose the right style for your body shape. If you have bigger legs, although this might sound strange, you should consider trying string bikini bottoms instead of shorts, as the tightness of the shorts around your legs will emphasize their size. If you have relatively short legs then choose a bikini bottom which has a high cut to the leg as this will emphasize your leg length. However, if you want to shorten the look of your upper body, why not consider a tankini? You are undoubtedly hoping to return from your holiday this year with a gorgeous looking tan. Make sure you do some preparation though. You will have more confidence to step out onto the beach in your gorgeous Melissa Odabash number on day one if you already have a nice bronze colour to your skin. You can try and kick start this in your back garden but the chances are you will get frost bite here in the UK long before your skin starts to turn brown. Why not have a look at some artificial bronzing products, or even a few short sessions on a sunbed? Make sure though, that you use the bikini you intend to use on the beach, so that the white marks are in the right places. Another confidence builder which pays dividends when you are trying your bikini on in front of the mirror is to pay attention to your skin. If you have had your pedicure, had your waxing treatment and exfoliated and moisturised your legs you will pass close scrutiny in the mirror. This will lead to greater confidence when stepping out on the beach where, in general, people will only be checking you out from a distance. By the way, don’t neglect your under-arms! Why not give yourself a boost in the chic department as well. Match your bikini to your beach accessories . A great looking hat and bag, and a quality pair of sunglasses and sandals will do wonders for your overall appearance. If you want to add some length to your legs, why not try a sturdy wedge heeled sandal? This next tip may sound a little patronising, but remember back to when your mum used to shout at you all the time “don’t slouch!”. You should put this great advice to good use on the beach. The great looking bikini babe will always walk with her shoulders back and chest forwards and will never let her stomach muscles relax, whether standing, walking or sitting. Make sure you maintain this posture at all times, and there will be no reason why that gorgeous bikini babe can’t be you! There is always the fact though that after enjoying a few extra portions of Christmas turkey that you may have put on a few pounds since last Summer. If so, and you really want to knock ‘em dead on the beach then start thinking about a new exercise regime to tone up your muscles quite a few weeks before your intended bikini debut. Concentrate on the problem areas such as the tummy, bottom and upper arms. Use relatively light, hand-held weights. Your new bikini will look its best on a firm, toned body. Finally, make sure you eat healthily. Stick to a balanced diet (not a faddy one which will mean piling it all on again) and drink plenty of water. This last point is important as it will help to keep your skin looking healthy and will improve its texture. Remember, the bikini is not your enemy, it is your friend. It shows off your good parts and if you choose wisely it can accentuate your assets while drawing attention away from your less than perfect bits. Don’t hide under that towel for the whole holiday, let the bikini show you off and reveal you to be the confident person you always wanted to be.

World?S Most Unusual Bikinis

Wednesday, May 26th, 2010

Let’s face it; you want to go to the beach not just to have fun in the sun but also to show off your “assets” to the watching men. Now, the thing is, when you go to the beach, you aren’t “the most beautiful” as what your parents always tell you. In fact, if you don’t make your bikini as unique as possible, you wouldn’t be able to get the men’s attention. Of course, we want to help you with your aims. And to give you ideas for the next summer, here are some of the most unusual bikinis we’ve seen around the world. Take your pens and notepads out and make notes while reading. China is known for their great fabric artistry. Having said so, we’re not really surprised that they came up with a very unique bikini that isn’t just perfect for swimming, but is also very attractive for exotic dancing. Where else will you find a Hand Crochet Sexy Unique Bikini but in China? Yes, the entire bikini is made of crochet, and is the perfect application of Chinese traditional handicraft in the fashion world. Up to this date, this kind of bikini can only be found in China, so if you want one with the same idea, why don’t you ask your mom to help you out (if you know what we mean)? If you think that the crochet bikini is still not enough to give you the amount of attention you want, there are bikini tops now (you’ll most probably find them in costume shops) that cover the boobs with palm-like cups. Some girls just love their busts being touched and perhaps they came up with this type of bikini top. Another very unusual bikini that we’ve stumbled upon is the bubble wrap bikini. The logic behind this bikini is really simple. Shape those bubble wraps you get from appliances to bikini pieces (bra and panties). That’s how the bikini bubble wrap looks like, really. Just don’t complain, if the bikini gets uncomfortable and itchy after swimming. So you think that monakiki (that one-piece bathing suit that out-sluts the bikini) isn’t attention-grabbing enough? Why don’t you try out one of those lettuce bikinis that PETA popularized and attract those vegetarian and earth-advocate hunks? Or if you really don’t want those too-clean guys, and you desire the hot geeky ones, there’s actually a Japanese photo voltaic laced bikini that puts out 5 volts by USB (just enough to charge an iPod shuffle) for you. Well, that is, if you can afford it and you don’t really want to swim. But wait, there’s actually another bikini that’s odder than the ones we’ve mentioned above. Some women (the sexy ones, mind you), actually sport the “clad” in their weddings. Yes, you read that right, in their weddings, following the footsteps of Pamela Anderson. Those that have the guts wore this wedding bikini that’s just technically plain white bikini pieces with flowers in them. So, how does that look? The bikini-bride looks like an ordinary bikini babe in the beach except that she’s wearing high-heels and a vale. To be able to “feel” the oddness of this bikini, just imagine yourself as the corpse bride in a carnival. That’s it. If you’re still not impressed with the unusual bikini items we’ve mentioned above, here’s what you can do: Wait until Uma Thurman wears another weird bikini in her next beach escapade. I’m sure her super low-cut and her granny swimwear are enough to convince you that her weird bikini collection (She has a really serious weird taste in bikinis) is worth the attention (the paparazzi are digging it). You can search for it in Google. Or if the “Thurman collection” still isn’t weird enough for your taste (seriously, you need a psychologist), just follow what other celebrities do. In this option, you don’t need to wear unusual bikinis; you just need to do “accidental” nipple slips. Easy, isn’t it? http://bikinistoday.com/

World?S Most Unusual Bikinis

My search for the perfect bikini

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

I am packing my bags for a trip to Costa Rica and realize that all of my bikinis… well, they just don’t look good on me. So I do what any thirty something would do, I go online to begin my search for the perfect bikini. There is no doubt that there are a lot of companies out there so I began plucking through the list. In my search I came across an interesting company that was founded by a Brazilian woman who was going to college in the States and was frustrated by the bikinis she was seeing. So she did what any frustrated woman would do- she started her own bikini company and is now in charge of one of the fastest growing micro and Brazilian bikini companies on the internet. I recently sat down with Ana, the founder of Look Swimwear, in a coffee shop in Miami Beach to find out more about her, Look Swimwear and the search for the perfect bikini… Thank you Ana for agreeing to take some time out of your busy schedule- can I ask you to tell us more about why you started Look Swimwear in the first place? Ana: “[laughs] Yeah, I was I guess not unlike most woman in that I was always frustrated when it came time to go on a trip or head to the beach- I would get into this “bikini panic” because it was impossible to find a bikini that not everyone had, was cute, sexy- really the perfect bikini. I was not used to this feeling at all, I grew up in Brazil and down there the beach and bikinis are really part of the culture. Brazilians love to show off and spend time with their friends and family on the beach. So long story short, I was always around the environment and definitely interested in swimwear fashion and bikinis so this frustration got the best of me- I started Look Swimwear.” I have heard you often reference the “perfect bikini”- can you tell me more about what you mean by that? Ana:” Well the perfect bikini is really one that has everything that all of us women look for. It has to be well made with high quality Lycras, fashionable, unique enough so that every lady on the beach is not wearing it and most importantly has to reflect who you are. Bikinis and fashion go hand in hand and are really an extension of our personalities so the perfect bikini pulls in all of these components into a small package… [laughter]“ Small for sure… For our readers who aren’t familiar with your bikini lines how do you describe them? Ana:” I think the best way to describe them is that all of our bikinis are small, sexy, stylish and fun. We market ourselves as a purveyor of micro and Brazilian bikinis and that is in my mind exactly what we are. Anyone can sell bikinis but Look Swimwear is a purveyor because we take so much pride in our design, workmanship, materials we use and service- and we do not take this commitment lightly either. I am always talking to our customers to make sure that we are exceeding their expectations from beginning to end. I think that is one of the things that make us so successful. Consumers these days are very demanding and have high expectations. But, they also are loyal to the companies that they trust and serve them well so I guess our huge growth is a vote from our customer base really.” Look Swimwear is now one of the fastest growing micro bikini companies, what plans do you have for the coming season? Ana:” Lycras, prints and cuts are always changing is all I will say. I cannot tell you what we are going to do but I will say that you will love our new ideas and that we will not loose focus on who we are- a sexy bikini company. My direct staff and our employees are some of the most talented and creative people I have ever known- they are really the backbone to what Look is all about. So when you work with talented and creative people then only good things will come of it so that means more sexy bikinis for all of you ladies to wear and for the guys to enjoy.” So how do men come into Look Swimwear equation? Ana:” Well they are really the reason why we all want to wear sexy little bikinis and show off. There is nothing better for a woman’s confidence than her knowing that “she still has it”. Don’t get me wrong, a confident woman does not need someone else’s approval to have a strong sense of self but showing off , having fun and getting attention is such a rush and is good for all ages… [laughs]” What would you say to some of the women out there who have never worn a micro or Brazilian bikini before? Ana:” They should try it out for sure and get away from those boring suits that cover up everything. I go to beaches all over the world and am still amazed at how some people can say that what they are wearing is a bikini. I can tell you that wearing a smaller bikini is a lot of fun but definitely not made for the family reunion. We have so many women and couples buy from us when they head out for couples vacation or even for the boat, pool or where ever. It’s a huge confidence booster to catch the guys looking out the corner of their eyes and the bikinis are really comfortable too. Its funny, ten years ago thong underwear was just catching on with the masses and now look around, everyone is wearing them. I am not saying that micro and Brazilian bikinis are going to take over the traditional and conservative bikini but the market is growing like crazy and women all over the world are catching on. I guess it really comes down to if the woman has a little devilish side of her that likes to show off or break the rules. If she does then I would say go for it and try it out- we have not heard any complaints yet.” Well thank you Ana for sitting down with me and telling us a little more about your company. So many of my friends have asked me to do a piece on your company and I am really happy that I could meet you. Ana:” My pleasure Jessica I enjoyed it”.

The Perfect Bikini Beach Body

Saturday, April 17th, 2010

PICT0037 Originally uploaded by bikinichick Sculpt a Perfect Beach Body Fast By Dax Lovett When you go to the beach you don’t want to see potbellies in beachwear. Everyone wants to see the Baywatch look- lean bodies glistening in the sun. And this is true for guys as well as gals. Here are some things you can try out to get that look. So, ladies here we go because as they say – ladies first. Once the summer is upon us it is time to bring out those old bikinis or buy some new ones. But, however sexy your bikini is, it will not be of any use if the body doesn’t match the bikini. The first thing to sacrifice is alcohol. Obviously, it is not as easy as it looks. Everybody likes a drink now and then. But if you remember that alcohol is a toxin that helps in retaining fat in your body you might just do a rethink. The step next is to avoid or rather stop eating snack and junk food. Again, this might be difficult but you can compensate by eating lots of fruits instead of sweets and you will soon see a difference. Alcohol combined with junk food is a lethal combination when it comes to retaining fat. You can also split your regular three meals into five smaller meals a day. Exercise regularly, if not daily at least three to four times a week. Concentrate on exercises which will tone and strengthen your muscles. And lastly practice a sport. Participating in a sport can be more fun than exercising. Tennis, swimming, and cycling are great sporting activities to help burn fat and build that perfect beach body fast. And boys… basically you can follow the same things but a flat stomach is not enough for you is it. You want rippling and toned muscles. For a start, you can stop adding new layers of fat to your body and this is best done by eating small meals at regular intervals. Also try and have a healthy and heavy breakfast each morning. Take at least two protein shakes daily. Have the first one immediately after your workout. Suppose you do not work out, take that as a snack any time of the day. Go in for short mini workouts rather than aiming for big sessions. If you are a busy working professional it will be really difficult to find the time to do your workouts. It will also help you to stay motivated if you go for smaller sessions. When you workout try to increase the number of reps and sets in each session. This is because the more you pressurize your body the more it will be forced to adapt. In this case it adapts by building muscles. Aim for eight to ten reps and six to nine sets. Once you have achieved your goal you will find it easier to adapt to a fitness regime. Especially once you catch the attention of everyone on the beach. If you need some more focused direction on how you can sculpt a perfect beach body fast, check out Vince DelMonte’s No-Nonsense Muscle Building Program . He teaches you exercise routines, diet plans, and much much more which will get you on your way to that perfect beach body! Good Luck!
