Fashion: Hair Styles: Post 2

Hey everyone! Welcome back! I've been gone for so long because I've been busy with my modeling career. But in the time I was gone, I've come across quite a few new, fun hairstyles that will be amazing new fashion statements! THESE HAIRSTYLES ARE FORMAL.

1. Long Hair: Boho Princess
This cute braided upstyle offers great day to night versatility. A favorite look for summer concerts gets an elegant treatment for that special night out. It's simple, but beautiful. While it does require some serious teasing, it's worth it. Boho Princess - Cute Blonde Braided Upstyle

Fitness Tips: Fad Diets: Post 1

Being in the modern day, we can have some troubles distinguishing what works and what doesn't. Well, fear no more: I'm here to pick the biggest fad diets, and which work!

1. The Detox Dump- This fad diet is about drinking only water and very low amounts of nutrients to detox and cleanse yourself of excess weight. The Truth: This does exactly the opposite. It'll put intense stress on your kidneys, and cause severe buildup of waste. It will toxify moreFor than detox.

2. The Acai Diet- Made popular by Opera, the diet involves using the acai berry as a 'substitute' in a low calorie diet. It's supposed to solve a plethora of issues, including:

  • Improves digestion
  • Cleanses and detoxes the body
  • Boosts immunity
  • Supports cardiovascular health
  • Increases mental clarity
  • Enhances vision
  • Reduces insomnia
  • Slows down the aging process 

(from http://www.everydiet.org/diet/acai-berry-diet)

The Truth: For the most part, acai berries can help with this. However, with only this single nutrient in your diet, these effects may not be present because you aren't maintaining a steady diet and are starving your body.

3. Steam Spa- It's said that sitting in a steam room every day for 15 minutes a week will reduce your weight by as much as 15 pounds. It's supposed to be effective in cleaning pores and making skin smooth, as well as giving it a clean shine. Sounds incredible, but is it too good to be true?
The Truth: Steam rooms are very good for the skin, and can cleanse your pores with ease. The steam, however, can not magically take away weight. It will take away weight for a few days, but that's water weight and it'll be gained back soon enough.

Well, that's enough for this post. Moral: Don't try a fad diet. Just don't. Unless it's proven and safe, and doesn't starve you to death, it's just as bad as ingesting waste.
