How to lose weight without exercising



This is probably the most frequently asked question by many girls of all ages: Can I possible lose weight with exercising? Well, the answer is yes! It is possible for you loose weight if you choose to eat right!

I personally want to maintain and lose weight as well! I’m actually writing this for myself too and for Jerjan and Ruby Rose and to all the people who are hopefully going to benefit from this…( Hi Gals)

Though, let me tell you, losing weight without exercising requires probably the same amount of effort and discipline because you have to eat healthy foods and watch your calories.

The only difference there is that you don’t have to go to the gym, or do crunches, or run on the thread mill. A lot of people do shed off their extra fat by starving themselves which is not good! I tell you it’s effective, but it’s “NOT” the right way to do it.

In order to loose weight without exercising you must set up a good meal plan, choose and watch the foods that you are consuming everyday. You are going to lose weight gradually using this method and this is not something that happens over night!

Also, it depends on your metabolism. Some people lose weight really fast and to some it takes weeks or even months to see the results.

There are several ways on how you can lose weight without working out:

The first one is the advice that most people usually would recommend to someone who wants to loose weight through dieting. Here we go, they say that you should eat your breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a beggar.

Explanation: It means that you can eat whatever you like or have a really good full packed meal (that of course includes eating carbs, protein, ect.) and even some sweat treats in the morning since that is the time of the day where you are active.

Plus, breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

But during lunch time it’s time for you to eat moderately, like a normal average person would eat. Notice, that I said “normal” if eating 5-7 cups of rice is normal to you then you are “abnormal”.

I’m just kidding! But seriously, strictly 1 cup of rice will do. At night you can skip eating your dinner if you can, but for the newbie’s you can eat fruits ( choose the non-bloating fruits and go for the watery one's like water melon, etc.) or either soup.

Here’s another option: You are allowed to eat three times a day but you must not eat anything in between.


But encase you if do get crazy hungry and you are craving for a snack! Then just drink 2 glasses of water and eat a banana or maybe an apple.

Also, when you eat your meal consume just enough that you can feel you have something in your stomach to cure your hunger but you can’t eat excessively “Tame Yourself Woman”. You can do it!

Here are the optional munchies that you can devour if you are really craving for a snack:

1. Oatmeal or oatmeal cookies!
2. Peanuts (the un-salted and the non-greasy ones)
3. Fresh pop corn
4. Fresh homemade juices like lemon juice, calamansi juice, ect.




These are the drinks and foods you must “Not” eat. Everything that I am going to list down below are my favorite foods and drink so….yea!..Do the right thing by not mimicking what I like.

1. Soda
2. Alcohol-If you are drinking alcohol then just “quit” because that’s the reason why you are probably bloating right now.
3. Junk foods
4. Chocolate Bars ( You know what I’m talking about)
5. All the oily juicy foods in the world.
6. Pork.
7. Sweets.
8. White bread and all those tasty fattening pastries.
9. Avoid drinking too much milk… so by now you must learn to dislike “Chuckie.” Forget that he is your chocolatey buddy. LOL
10. Fast foods.
11. Milk Shakes, etc.

Option no. 3 is you have to pledge to eat more vegetables, less carbs, and less sweet or completely eliminate anything sugary. This is actually great because not only will it help you loose weight but also you’ll have a beautiful skin!

You’ll notice that by you eating healthy foods such as vegetables, fruits and water alone for one month you are going to lose weight in a healthy way and your complexion is going to clear up!

If you are willing to lose weight with out exercising then you must learn to take heed on the foods that you are eating, evaluate them and set a meal plan or simply follow the guidelines above.

Also, take it easy! Forcing yourself to do all the don’ts above can cause you to over eat because the more you pressure yourself to shun away from those bad foods sometimes you will eventually crave them even more.

So what I’m trying to say is that you can gradually cut off of the bad foods off from your diet like say for example:

This week plan out that you are not going to take in any soda and then next week cut down and kill your passion for those chocolate bars and so on. Set up a goal that can keep up with!

These options are ideal for people who do office work or your job requires you to sit down in the computer all day.

Hope this helps! Comment down below or leave suggestions and if you would like to add furthermore ideas into this article.

Gypsy inspired makeup look Tutorial

So, I've been playing around with colors.

I honestly do not like this makeup on me lol.

And the idea of putting that adornment on my head destroyed the gypsy look.

Anyway...

Alright! Let's get Started

I've used about 4 colors: Gold, back, brown and neutral white eye shadow as my highlight.


Observe where the colors are placed:

1. Use the gold eye shadow and put that all over her lids. Put that on the inner corner of her eye and dragging it down towards her lower lashes.

2. Next take the brown eye shadow and create that v-shape on the outer corner of the eye. Wing it out a little bit to create that dramatic cat eye look to lift and extend her eyes. making it appear bigger.

3. Put the dark eye shadow on the outer corner of her eyes just to darken the brown eye shadow and drag it down on to her lower lash line.

4. Liner her upper and lower lash line/waterline with a black eye liner.

5. Curl her lashes and apply mascara on her upper and lower lashes.

6. Add false eye lashes open up her eyes. ( this is optional)

7. Clean the fall outs. ( Because the eye shadows in your palette is a bit loose.)

8. Apply concealer underneath her eyes for a more defined and clean look.

For the face:

1. Apply a liquid foundation all over her face.

2. Conceal if she has any spot or whatever.

3. Powder her face.

4. USE THE FREAKIN BRONZER..lol and apply just a little bit if blush on top.

5. Contour her cheek bones, jawline and her nose.

For her lips:

You can either go for a nice pinkish red lipstick and top it off with a nice shimmering lipgloss.


You can also use a nude lipstick and top it off with a pinkish lip gloss.

Hope this helps!

How to get rid of swollen/puffy eyes




Swollen puffy eyes are caused by either you having sleepless nights, you cried, or you are so stressed out. Makeup can do the trick and also wearing glasses but we want to cure it in a way that we’d look like our normal selves don’t we?

Here are a couple of things you can do to naturally cure puffy and swollen eyes:

1.Wash your face with cold water in the morning or either get a cloth or a handkerchief put an ice cube on it and start applying it under your eyes.

2.The tea bag solution- Immerse the green tea in a hot water for 5 about minutes and take it out and let it cool down. Put the tea bags on your eyes!

3.Cucumber Miracle- Slice a cucumber and put that on the fridge let it stay for about an hour and then put that on your eyes for about 10 to 15 minutes.

4.Salt solution- All you have to do is to take a 1/2 teaspoon of salt and then put that into the 1/4 liter of lukewarm water and mix them together. Next, take a cotton ball and dip it in the mixture and apply.

5.Spoon Power- Take 2 spoons and refrigerate them and then once they are chilled apply them to your lids.

Elf Corrective Concealer Review

I was really rejoicing the moment I heard that elf is now available in my vicinity!

I was like Yes! Finally civilization came! No, I’m kidding.

Well, I bought it last week and I was very intrigued to by e.l.f’s concealer.

I really wanted to try it because I want to test out the product and I would like to have an additional green and salmon concealer to my collection.

So this is how the product looks like:



It comes with four different shades, a small concealer brush and a mirror.



First off, I really do not like this concealer because it has an oily silky consistency which is not good if you have an oily skin and I don’t recommend this concealer to wear if you are going to the beach or resorts, especially during this hot summer season because it’ll just melt down.

It also does not give you a full coverage, it can cover up certain spots but it does not stay on your skin for a long time.

It vanishes so quickly. The colors are kind of off as well. If you notice the salmon shade does not look like salmon at all it’s mostly like a light pinkish color.

I’ve tried this on my cousin, since she has a fair skin and guess what? It didn’t work. It can brighten up your skin but it does not cover blemishes very well.

If you have acne, or dark spots this is not going to work for you at all.
Also, the green shade can’t over up redness very well.

The rest of the two neutral shades are fine but so far I’m not really satisfied by this product.

I will not give this a complete thumbs down because it might work for some people.
I’m looking for citizens who have dry skin to try this on because this might work for them.LOL

I like concealer brush that comes with it though because you can get into details, like concealing the inner corner of your eye, on the side of your nose,ect.

You can also use it as an awesome smudge brush tool.

So that’s it! For now you guys. I hope you find this helpful!

How to Cure Congested Nose



Congested nose is one of the most annoying things that could ever happen to anyone because you can’t breathe properly, you can’t smell anything and of course your tastes buds are also automatically affected that you can’t taste anything when you eat plus it's hard to talk sometimes.

Congested nose takes place when mucus blocks the nasal channels, which might be due to a sinus virus, allergy or a cold. I notice people are catching colds lately because of the climate change.

Here are the remedies that you can follow:

1.Hot compress- Get a bowl and pour in 1 cup of hot water on it. Get a small towel or a handkerchief and soak it on the warm water and apply it on your nose. Make sure that it’s not burning hot; let it cool down a bit or just in a warm temperature that you can tolerate the heat because you don’t want to burn yourself or anything!

Leave it there for about a minute and once it’s cooled down and you can’t feel the warmness anymore you can dip the cloth back on to the hot water and reapply it again. You can do this procedure 2-3 times a day! When you wake up in the morning and before you go to bed.

2.A nose/nasal spray- This is going to thin out the mucus emissions, thus helping you to ease and alleviate your congested nose. Though, you may only use this three days at a time because if you use this for a long time it can in fact aggravate your clogging nose.

3.Water therapy- Drink lots of water! This is very beneficial because it will not only help you cure your stuffy nose but it also cleanses your body. Also, do eat hot soup and drinking teas are going to help you recover faster. Stay away from sweets for awhile because they can cause mucus sometimes and especially cold milky drinks.

4.Get an extra pillow and layer that on top of your head pillow because lying flat on your bed is not going to help at all.

5.If you have been stressing out lately take some time to rest. Try to complete a straight 6-8 hours of sleep everyday.

6.Don’t take a bath really late at night and sleep with your hair wet because sometimes that causes you to have a stuffy nose and you’ll wake up with a moisten wet pillow in the morning which is not good. So, in other words take a nice early warm bath and don’t wait until its 12 in the midnight.

7.Eat spicy foods or add spicy seasonings to your soup because this releases the sinuses and prop up a runny nose, hence curing clogging and getting rid of nuisances from the nose.

The Truth About Kandee Johnson



Kandee Johnson is a professional makeup artist, a loving mom and a makeup guru on YouTube. She is one the most phenomenal and inspiring women I’ve ever seen online. I haven’t met her, but I know she is indeed a person that has brought joy, gladness and encouragement to many girls and her techniques on how to put on makeup are easy to follow and they work for almost everyone.

So for all of the bad things that people accused and wrote against her I am going to be the one that is going to blog good things about her. Seeing her the for first time on YouTube when she was just starting out I know deep inside that she has the potential to be one of the most looked up to and most subscribed makeup guru.

I may not know her that well but I know and I can discern a good person that has a big heart for encouraging and loving people. I was watching her recent video and I never knew that she was going through a tough time and people are just mean to her.

All I can say to the people who are saying bad stuff to Kandee is this… Back off and leave her alone! She is not perfect and she has made mistakes from the past but we ourselves are also not perfect so what makes you think that you can just accuse her of what she’s done (which I personally think she has done nothing wrong by the way) or judge her by making negative comments.

If you live such a perfect life, you are absolutely faultless and you have never ever, ever, ever made a wrong decision in your life then maybe, just maybe you can start judging people.

Oh wait! No, you don’t! Because that is just rude! Even if you are faultless person you have no right to judge anyone! So stop it! It’s not going to help you in any way. It’s not going to help you achieve your goals in life nor will it increase you.

We all live in these rules: “Do unto others as you would have them do to you “What you sow is what you are going to reap.”

Let me translate that: If you’ve sown bad things into other people lives, let’s say for example you’ve betrayed a friend or even cursed someone then guest what? You shall reap that same bad thing you’ve done to a person and sometimes even worse. It’s sounds scary but it is true!

Ok, so regarding about her making money through her videos! I have nothing against that either! In fact I am happy for her that she makes a living out of her creativity! I don’t see why people all of a sudden HATE YOU if you become sponsored! I really don’t get that? Should you just be happy for her?

It’s not her fault if companies offer her stuff!

One thing that I like about her as well is that she acknowledges God in her life that’s why no matter trials that she is going through right now, I know that she is going to come out victorious! God does make all things work together for her and our good. Because He simply loves you!

We Love You Kandee! You are beautiful, talented and God is surely going to increase you and bless you more and more this year!
