Losing weight is simple: burn more calories than you consume. Once you understand the laws of thermodynamics you can begin to understand the simplicity with which we lose, gain, or maintain body mass.
What does this mean to you? Simple. If you’re not losing weight, you’re eating too much (or moving too little). If you can manage to expend more energy than you’re consuming, you’ll lose weight.
It can, however, be easier said than done. So I’ve put together 7 easy-to-follow strategies that you can implement, right now, to increase energy expenditure—or decrease energy intake—without starving yourself or spending hours in the gym doing endless amounts of cardio.

Stay Beautiful By Keeping Yourself Fit And Strong
Being beautiful is something that most people aspire to. Having natural beauty is helpful and wonderful, but in reality it is a rarity. Most people have to put some effort into their beauty, and this is something that they do every day. This article will give you some practical advice on beauty.
Give your hair, and your blow dryer, a rest. When you take into account that hair dryers are often followed by curling or straightening irons, the result is a lot of heat being inflicted on your hair. If you absolutely must blow-dry your hair, you should use your dryer on its lowest heat setting. This will preserve your hair, keeping it silky soft, and preventing it from becoming frizzy.
If you only have the time and money for a single beauty product, consider spending it on a flattering cheek color. A cream-based blush is easily applied using only the fingertips and can be thrown in your purse and applied quickly and with little to no effort at all. This is one item that you shouldn’t be shy about spending a little extra on.
Brighten up your eyes with this natural look: apply a light, neutral-colored eye shadow to your entire upper eyelid. Look for sand, khaki, beige, or fawn colors. This will neutralize any redness on your lids, which can make you appear older and tired. Add drama by smudging a darker shade on the lids just in the crease.
Apply a light-weight moisturizer before your makeup. This tip can help to keep your skin healthy, and it makes it easier to apply an even coat of foundation. You will not have a blotchy makeup appearance if you use moisturizer. When you use moisturizer, your makeup will last longer, in addition to making your face look fresh.
Emphasize the sharpness of your cheekbones by applying a shade of powder blush that is one shade deeper than your normal cheek color product. Using a blush brush, dab on a spot of the powder in the hollows of your cheeks just under the cheekbones. Remove excess powder, then blend in a circular motion.
Although hot showers feel great, they don’t do your skin any favors. Hot water makes your pores open too much, letting important oils get out. You then are likely to wash them away. Bath in warm water instead to ensure your skin will be soft and supple. You can also save money on the heating bill.
If you already have skin problems, you need to be especially careful when selecting make up to not worsen the situation. Avoid make ups with any oil in them, and sparingly use moisturizers, foundations, eye makeup, and blushes labeled oil free. Also look for non-comedogenic products, which do not encourage the closure of pores.
To make red lipstick last longer, apply powder and lip liner to your lips before applying the lipstick. First, powder your lips with your usual face powder. Next, draw a line around your lips and fill them in with a red lip liner. Finally, apply the red lipstick on top of the powder and liner, blotting with a tissue to remove any excess lipstick.
To make your eyelashes look thicker, dust them with a coat of loose powder before applying your mascara. Use a small brush to apply a thin layer of translucent powder to your eyelashes, taking care not to get the powder in your eyes. Follow up with a coat of your favorite mascara over the top of the powder.
Keep your makeup removal wipes close to where you do your makeup. These wipes can help to get rid of imperfections quickly while on the go. These wipes are an affordable way to apply makeup like a pro. Use makeup remover wipes each and every day.
To clean your skin without depriving it of its natural oils, use a cream cleanser. A cream cleanser will help lock in the skin healthy oils on your face, and will also leave your face moisturized and glowing. Using this type of cleanser will slow the development of fine lines and wrinkles.
If your hair is fine, daily conditioner use will do more harm than good. Simply one or two times per week should suffice. Overuse of conditioner will make your hair look dull, and can weigh it down. So if you want your hair to look light and shiny, limit how much conditioner you use.
If you have discovered little white bumps under your eyes, know that these are called Milia and are quite common. They are a harmless form of a cyst caused by dry, dead cells being trapped under the skin. You can try exfoliation or use a moisturizer that includes an exfoliant with vitamin A to help them disappear, and prevent them in the future.
When crying, you should tilt the head so you do not ruin your mascara. Your mascara can survive your tears this way.
You can save a lot of money by trimming your own bangs at home. First, make sure you have the proper scissors. Spend the money for a small pair of good haircutting scissors. Trim your bangs dry. How to trim them will depend on your hair type, but most people do best by dividing the bangs into three sections, holding the hair up in a twist, and taking small diagonal snips so that the cuts aren’t straight. Drop the twist, see how you look, and repeat until it’s short enough for your liking.
There is a very fine yet very important line between vanity and taking care of yourself. It is important that you stay on the correct side of this line. Beauty should be a small part of your daily routine and if it is becoming an obsession then you should try to rethink your priorities.
Though it may take some work, working on looking beautiful is something that every person can do. It is mostly about how you take care of yourself. Use the advice that this article has given you on working on your beauty – anyone can improve themselves with a little effort.
