Hipsters vs Lumberjacks

Girl: I think I'm going to be a lumberjack tomorrow.
Friend: But then how will we tell you apart from the hipsters? I mean really, what's the difference between a lumberjack and a hipster?
Girl: One of them has a job.

How to look good in Online Pics

2012-08-01T18:16:00.001-06:00

1. Thou Shalt Take Advantage Of Optical Illusions
Taking a picture from the top of the body is really popular for beach snaps as the perspective makes your legs look longer and thinner and your chest look larger because it’s closer to the camera.

Also cut off part of your body (to the right) which shaves inches off immediately.

Cropping the picture halfway down your body. Seeing less of people automatically makes the viewer think they are slimmer.

2. Thou Shalt Always Look Glamorous
Take shots when you're glammed up and ready to go out at the beginning of the night means you will be looking polished.

3. Remember Thy Pose
An old trick that photographers and models have used for years and it’s an easy way to drop a dress size. Stand slightly to the side, breathe in and put your hand on your hip.

Standing sideways always makes you look slimmer than standing straight on in front of the camera and the space created between your waist and your arm gives you shape.

4. Thou Shalt Choose A Simple Background
A simple background means you stand out more, even if you are standing in front of a plain brick wall.

A block white dress is also an attention-grabber because there’s no pattern detail to distract the viewer.

5. Honour Thy Tan
If you can’t tone it, tan it! Sun-kissed skin almost always looks better in pictures, and because the quality of smartphone pictures can’t be guaranteed, the deeper the colour the better the end result.

6. Thou Shalt Use Apps
Different filters and effects on photo apps can make the most boring snap look cool because colour shifting gives an instant editorial feel.

Using Instagram and Hipstamatic give twitpics a bit of retro style, Snapseed is also recommended for easy to achieve bespoke effects.

7. Remember Thy Lighting
Smartphones are quite limited when it comes to focus in tricky lighting situations so daylight is the best to guarantee a good shot.

Also, Late afternoon sun gives a lovely golden light which makes everything look better.

8. Thou Shalt Try A Crop
A tight shot gives more impact, especially when there is a lot going on in the background.

This is also good for showing off statement hair and make-up

9. Honour Thy Angle
For a flattering half-length shot you should always try and take the picture from above the subject, it gets rid of double chins and under-eye bags and the perspective makes you look longer and slimmer.

If it’s a full- length shot getting your friend to bob down while taking it will make your legs look longer.

10. Remember There Is Always Black And WhiteIf all else fails and you really need to post that picture turning a photograph black and white can often save it.

Monochromes pictures are flattering on everyone so they’re great if you’re posing with someone a bit older or uglier, or if anyone is pulling a silly face

Get your toes ready for Summer

2012-07-30T16:58:00.001-06:00

Here are some tips to get those toes ready for your open toe shoes.

1. Get a Good Nail File - A glass one won't damage nails. And never file them rounded toe nails should always be filed straight across. Margaret Dabbs says that ‘If you’ve got a big toe that leans slightly inwards, subtly file the big toe nail in a diagonal line so that the inside of the nail is a fraction higher. This gives the illusion of straight, evenly-shaped toes.’

2. Buff Away - This extra step that I usually don't do when I paint my nails at home but it really does help. Use a block buffer to remove discoloration, then a glossing buffer until your nails are smooth and look like glass.

3. Scrub those feet - I LOVE my pumice stone. It does tickle but just think of it as a mini foot massage.

4. Exfoliate - Make a at home foot scrub with sea salt & body wash. Soak your feet and massage in until skin is gleaming.

5. Oil & Paint - Paint those toes up a favorite color and Spray your feet with Emu Oil nightly to retain a fresh look.
