Does being beautiful mean being a size 0?? I think not! While most children who develop eating disorders are between 11 and 13, studies have shown that 80% of 3rd through 6th graders are dissatisfied with their bodies or their weight and by age 9 somewhere between 30 and 40% of girls have already been on a diet. Between ages 10 and 16, the statistic jumps to 80%. Many eating disorder experts attribute this behavior to the effects of cultural expectations. Unnatural ideas of beauty bombard our little girls and teens for as long as they can remember, they need to know that they do not have to be as thin as bread sticks to be sexy or beautiful! Here are the Top 10 Sexiest “Plus-sized” (one hates to use the term)

How To Get Rid of Unwanted Hairs: Natural Tips For Hair Removal Every girl loves to wear beautiful short skirts, evening gowns etc, but if you have a lot of hair on your body, this might not be so possible. And let‟s face it, the world currently loves the „no body hair‟ look. So what‟s a girl to do, what is the solution to your problem? Removal of hairs, seem to be a painful problem. Not only the pain, but waxing and using of the razors make your skin hair hard to touch. Women have been looking for effective, pain free ways to remove hair for decades. Sensitive areas of the body cannot bear the pain of waxing or blade. We spend more time on our hair than on any other portion of our body. We do several procedures to make them look beautiful and healthy. Many of us have too little hair, others have too much in the wrong places. Ingrown hairs are also common around the upper, inner thigh. Excessive hair growth on the face is particularly troublesome to some women. This may be the result of some hormonal disturbances. Tumors arising in the ovaries, adrenal glands and other endocrine organs have sometimes contributed to this problem. But in most neither cases there is
nor specific cause for excessive growth of hair. Hair growth is directly related to estrogen levels, hormones and ancestry. In today‟s society facial and body hair have become increasingly unwelcome. These unwanted hairs disturbs the beauty of the women. They have become curious to remove them. There are many procedures for the removal of these unwanted hairs. Excessive hair on the face can be removed by electrolysis, but this is a tedious and somewhat expensive process. Laser is normally a permanent method of hair removal, although there are no 100% guarantees. It doesn‟t work very well on darker skins or on lighter hair. Essentially the hair that responds best to laser treatment is dark, thick hair on lighter skin. Natural Hair Removal Methods: Waxing: Waxing is one of the easiest and most convenient ways to remove unwanted hair. Yes, waxing can be painful but the results are good and after waxing the hair taken much longer to grow back.
To make homemade wax take two cups of sugar, one fourth cup of water and one fourth cup of lemon juice. Heat this mixture over a low flame and stir regularly until you get a thick brown liquid which is your wax. Once the wax has cooled down to a temperature that you are comfortable with you can apply in onto your skin and place a clean cloth or waxing strip over it. Once it has cooled down completely pull the cloth or strip in the opposite direction of hair growth so that the hair is pulled from its roots. Make sure that you apply ice and astringent to the waxed area to tighten the pores. Sugaring: Often the natural beauty treatments require the use of ingredients right from our kitchen. This hair removal method is the real example for this. Mix a cup of sugar and the juice of a half lemon a quarter of cup honey, and there you go! You made the most organic and ecofriendly sugar paste ready to eliminate undesired hair with. Similarly to waxing apply the warm (not hot) sugar to your legs

This method has endless benefits, besides the fact that unlike wax it wonâ€&#x;t irritate or hurt your skin. Thepain will be also less harsh, still the method will remove all the unwanted hair. It can be easily done at home with a DIY kit, without assuming any risk. The effect will last almost as long as with waxing. Tweezing: Tweezing is another method for removing facial hair by using tweezers. It is a painstaking as well as time consuming job. Usually used for bushy eyebrows. Tweezing eventually stops your
Threading is a common hair removal method that can be used on any part of the body. The usual parts of the body where threading is used are upper lips, chin and eyebrows. But even other parts of the body where there is a patch of hair, threading is useful. Threading requires a lot of attention and detail and is great for people with sensitive skin. Pumice stones can also be used for removing hair from the body except facial hair. Turmeric:
in Asian and Indian cooking. Turmeric is one of the spices used in curry dishes. You can use turmeric mixed with flour to make a paste that will not only remove fine hair, but will also deter hair growth over time with continued use. This paste is perfect for female facial hair. It also softens and brightens the skin. What a bonus. Bleaching: You can naturally bleach your hair with lemon juice and chamomile tea. One should not use lemon juice undiluted so you can mix honey with lemon juice. You can also use pumice stone to remove excess hair on every place other than your face.

5 THINGS YOU
NEVER SAY AT WORK
Pellau Magazine
In times when people are losing their jobs, those that have them should do all that they can to make sure they keep them. Here are 5 things "experts" say you should never say/do at work: 5) Talk about how stressed out (or busy) you are. 4) Discuss the fact that you haven't gotten a raise (many companies are now dolling out raised based on productivity as opposed to longevity) 3) Refrain from starting any sentence with, "Don't tell anyone I said this..." 2) Never begrudgingly say you "don't mind helping" when indeed you do. 1) Never say, "That's not my job..." (If you're unioned, I'm not sure how you can abide by this one...as most of their existence involves pointing out that things aren't in their job description...)

Rachelle Marcial 1)What/who inspired you to get into modeling? My best friend Crystal Hamilton encouraged me to take up modeling when we were in high school. Once I started modeling she and Wynice Joseph continued to encourage and support me. My little sister SherryAnna Joseph, only twelve years of age has inspired most profoundly.

I am twenty one(21) years of age. 3) How long have you been into the industry? It has been two years since I have been in the modeling industry.

In aspect to the fashion industry I would like to attain international exposure and I would also like to help individuals to get into modeling . 5) Is it hard to balance modeling and a personal life? At time it can be strenuous to balance personal life and modeling but once there is a love and an inner drive to succeed it is fun and becomes easy.

I am all for the adventure. I relish outdoor activities. Currently I have eschewed rigorous activities to maintain my weight.

I would advise not just models but any one that want to engage in some form of activity to just go for it. Do not limit yourself or dwell on your faults. Use what you have and make the best out of it. Discipline dedication, respect and honesty can make you or break you. Let wisdom be your guide and make God your best friend. 8) What type of modeling do you do? I am a runway model. 9 How did you hear about CFS and how has your experience been thus far? I became knowledgeable about CFS from a few of my friends that were models for the company and also from advertisement via facebook. The experience so far has been great and truly educating for me. I think anyone would feel right at home if they were to enroll at this institute. I have been given the foundation I needed right here at CFS. Learning here is a must and the manager is respectful, helpful and very involved in the development of all the models. So far I have learned about skin care, hair care, cosmetology and several runway activities. 10) What do you think of the local modeling industry? 10. I think that local modeling industry is quite competitive and has many opportunities variation of individuals.
