Get rid of stretch marks using sun tan lotion!

Stretch marks occur due to rapid weight gain or growth spurts. The stretching of the skin causes it to become strained, resulting in bumpy pink, red, or white lines. Stretch marks usually occur on the thighs and stomach, although weightlifters can get stretch marks on their arms. Pregnant women often have stretch marks at their pregnancy's end. Surgery or laser treatment is the only way to completely remove stretch marks, although they generally fade over time. Applying suntan lotion to the marks is a way to make them fade faster

things you'll need:

• Body scrub
• Clean towel
• Body lotion
• Suntan lotion with cocoa butter

Intructions:

1. Choose a suntan lotion that contains cocoa butter oil. Suntan lotions generally contain cocoa butter, jojoba, or coconut oil to keep skin hydrated while in the drying sun. Cocoa butter oil is an excellent moisturizer with natural healing properties and is a common ingredient in stretch mark creams and other forms of skin treatment.

2. Use a body scrub over the affected areas while showering. This will rid the skin of any dead cells that will interfere with its absorption of the suntan lotion. Pat skin dry after showering with a clean towel.

3. Rub body lotion into stretch marks, as suntan lotion works much faster on hydrated skin. Try picking a lotion that contains aloe vera as it is deeply hydrating with extensive healing properties. Allow to soak in.

4. Massage suntan lotion into stretch marks in a circular motion. Repeat daily to lessen the appearance of stretch marks.

How to do a side braid!

Celebrities like Lauren Conrad popularized the side crown braid, sometimes referred to as the side French braid or headband braid. The side crown braid starts diagonally from your eyebrow and curves along the side of your head before tucking into the nape of your neck.

things you'll need:

• Fine tooth comb
• 2 small non-rubber hair elastic
• Table or handheld mirror

Instructions:

Part your hair on the side opposite of where you want your braid. A few inches to the left or right of your center scalp works best. If you're right handed, braid on the right side of your scalp. Braiding your side crown braid on your dominant side is easier to execute.

Draw a second vertical part with your comb approximately 2 inches deep from your hairline beginning at your first side part and ending near the nape of your neck. The deeper the part, the thicker the braid.

Pull the remainder of your hair not included in this front section of hair into a secure ponytail so it doesn't interfere with your braiding. Use your table mirror and examine the back of your head. Your hair for the side crown braid must be neatly parted and easily definable

Divide your hair into three separate parts A, B and C beginning at the side part near your forehead. Overlap A with B, and B with C.

Pull the pleats snug and draw a small strand of hair from the side closest to your ponytail using the pointer finger and thumb of your dominant hand. Include this strand into part A and overlap it with part C. Bring an equal size strand from the side closest to your forehead using your non-dominant pointer finger and thumb and include it with strand C. Overlap this entire new section with strand B.

Continue this process down and around your head including strands of the same size to ensure uniform pleats and an even braid. Stop drawing hair from the side and begin braiding down and away from your head when you reach the nape of your neck. Tie a non-elastic hair band around your side braid when only three or four inches of hair remains unbraided.

Take down your ponytail. Next to the beginning of your braid, brush a 2-inch deep section of hair.

Hold the brushed hair firmly in your non-dominant hand and flip your head upside down so you have clear access to the nape of your neck

Pull this last brushed section to the nape of your neck and combine it with your side crown braid in your non-dominant hand. Keep your head flipped upside down and tie a non-rubber hair elastic around the braid and brushed section. Flip your head right-side up and enjoy your new look.

Other diet minded women eat very little during the day thinking their self -discipline will carry them through the evening, only to have the strategy backfire. Going for long period restricting food makes it harder to eat reasonable when you begin to eat.

Tips to stop night eating?

Don't starve all day. Make sure to eat breakfast, lunch and snacks so you are not ravenous in the evening. Curb your appetite- Try a drink that nutritionist call Citrus Chill which is a squeeze or lemon and lime and some artificial sweeter over crushed ice. Try on of these before dinner and after dinner.
Set a clear food cut off time - Try brushing your teeth at 7:30 pm and designate that as your food cut off time. This is hard at first but gets easier over time.
