7 Fitness Influencers Show How One Small Trick Can Change the Look of Your Butt in Seconds

This article originally appeared on Health. For more stories like it, visit health.com.
If you want your behind to look firm and toned in a butt selfie, you could do endless sets of squats and slather on all the anti-cellulite creams in the world. An easier way? Try this two-second butt-enhancing camera trick—the same one fitness influencers turn to when they want to emphasize their backsides.

It's just another example of the tactics social media stars use to change the way their bodies really look, while convincing you that what you're seeing is real. Take it from these 7 Instagram stars, who are more than willing to let you in on the lie.

"The left is a photo of me clearly doing an 'instagram' popular pose to make my butt look better. On the right is real life - what happens when I squeeze my bum. OMG CELLULITE - guess what ladies we all have it…"

Selena Gomez Is Obsessed With This Cool Mall Brand

It's no secret that Selena Gomez is a huge fan of Coach and Puma. (I'm sure you've seen her in ad campaigns for both brands.) But there's another mall-friendly label that she's very much into. And for what it's worth, she's not a spokesperson for this one. Her latest fashion obsessions are coming from Free People. That's right, the boho-chic brand that creates cool dresses, jeans, and everything else in between. 

From leaving church to heading to the gym, we've spotted the singer/actress wearing Free People nonstop. And several of her picks are still in stock. So keep scrolling to see exactly which Free People items Gomez is into right now.

Floral Denim Jacket

For the gym, Gomez paired black leggings with a Free People denim jacket ($198; freepeople.com), stripe top, Puma sneakers ($65; puma.com), and a Coach bag ($395; coach.com).

I've Never Felt More Body Confident Than When I Put on This Swimsuit

I dread trying on bathing suits and the experience is only made worse by one thing: remembering how easy it was to pick out a cute bikini when I was younger. Oh, how I long for the days when the hardest decision I made was bandeau or triangle top. Nowadays, new swimsuit styles are constantly emerging, and since sizing differs from store to store, I usually end up trying on multiple styles in multiple sizes—meaning there's bound to be 10 swimsuits that look terrible on me for every one I actually like. I know it's natural for my body to change as I grow older, but that doesn't make it easier when I notice a new imperfection pop up in the dressing room mirror.
As I've grown more self-conscious of my body, swimsuit shopping has become harder, whether I like to admit it or not. So when one-pieces with cutouts became more popular last summer, I spent months in search of the perfect suit that covered my stomach while still showing some skin. A bathing suit like this would still make me feel trendy, I thought, like I was going to the beach—not to swim lessons.

Recently, though, I spotted Aerie's Wraparound One Piece Swimsuit ($50; aerie.com) on my Facebook feed, and instantly knew I had to buy it (despite that fact that it was February, there was snow falling outside, and I wasn't planning a tropical vacation anytime soon). Strategically-placed cutouts make it look more like a bikini—just with a high-waisted bottom and wraparound top—than other one-piece suits. This time, the hardest decision wasn't if I should buy the bathing suit, but whether I wanted it in red or black.
One of the reasons I added it to my cart so quickly is because despite my best efforts, I fell short of finding a one-piece that I loved last summer. Instead, I settled for two bathing suits that I didn't hate: One was stylish but too cheaply made to last more than a few wears, and the other was flattering, but the material was uncomfortably thick. When it got wet, it put pressure on my stomach, making me feel self-conscious. Additionally, I noticed that many one pieces are quite cheeky, with bottoms cut to be worn high on your hips. My hips and lower stomach are built curvier than the rest of my frame, so this style only drew attention to something I was trying to distract from.

What to Wear Under Sheer Summer Clothing

Let's be honest: Summer pieces are basically ranked in order of opacity, from slightly sheer to completely transparent. Once temps start to rise, there tends to be a drop in fabrics (both in excess and in weight), and subsequently, an upswing in sartorial challenges.
It's a problem that affects the Hollywood set, too—but luckily, some of our favorite celebs have figured out stylish fixes to common sheer-clothing problems. At an evening event, Rashida Jones's look was sheer genius—and a lesson in how to pull of a see-through dress like a pro. She gave her sexy black lace midi-length dress a polished (and slightly offbeat) spin by layering it with a crisp white shirtdress.

As major proponents of public decency, we took a sampling of summer's shockingly sheer offerings, which range from open-knit crochet tops to unlined dresses, and coupled each problematic piece with a solution for what to wear underneath. No risky business here.

The Problem: A Scandalously Sexy Black Lace Number

Chances are, a black bra and a black micro skirt underneath a sexy lace LBD won't sit well at the office or Sunday's family brunch. The solution: Knock down the sex appeal with a sleek, chic styling option, such as a crisp white shirtdress.

Shop the look: Miguelina lace maxi dress, $450; net-a-porter.com. Thom Browne shirt dress, $480; farfetch.com.

The Problem: A See-Through Black Blouse

You have a transparent black blouse—now what? First, stay away from nudes or white layers underneath. The goal is to cover up, not tease the eye. The solution: this T by Alexander Wang black bra top that not only looks good layered under a blouse, but also worn alone.

Lucy Hale Has a Dramatic New Hair Color 

Lucy Hale wasn’t joking when she said her next hair change would be inspired by Selena Gomez. 

During an interview with People earlier this year, the actress hinted that she may go blonde like Gomez did this past fall. "I could be coming out with a different color. I have to do something different because I get so bored,” Hale said of her next hair look. “I saw Selena [go blonde] and she looked so good. I was like ‘Yes!’ That was good inspiration. When it comes to beauty, I would try anything.”

RELATED: Lucy Hale Admits to Covering a Hickey, Is All of Us 

Well, judging from Hale's latest Instagram post, she's followed through. The actress shared a photo mid-glam session with drastically lighter hair. The shade consists of warm highlights with a few of her chocolate brown strands left undyed for added dimension. 


Stylish art you can wear comfortably

IT CAN be confusing when you see two or more labels selling the same material crafted into marginally different designs.

For those that prefer to stand out from the fashion pack, it drives home the difficulty of escaping mass-produced trends.

One solution is enlisting fabulously talented artists to create custom patterns and designs, as Brisbane label Hunt + Kelly have done.

"For our collection this season we have done two artist collaborations,” owner Kellie Alderman says.

"The first with a young Brisbane illustrator, Holly Neilson, who worked with us to create a beautiful botanical print we used on pants and a silk kaftan.

"The second is with artist Kate Barry. We have turned two of her amazing impressionist works into giant silk scarfs that are big enough to be worn as wraps and tops.”
These pieces don't just ooze style, but comfort, something Kellie says shouldn't have to be sacrificed for fashion.

"Comfort is really high on our list when we design a collection,” she says.

"Nobody looks stylish or confident in clothes that they aren't comfortable in.

"We love designing clothes that really work for women, so when you have a lot to accomplish in a day and you need your wardrobe to take you through a few situations.

"Comfort without sacrificing style just eases the pressure a bit and we are all about making life a little bit easier.”
Although our scorching days and balmy nights are coming to an end and holidays for many are a distant memory, Hunt + Kelly aim to continue the feeling of freedom through their threads.

"We love how people relax and loosen up on holidays and how that extends to their wardrobes,” Kellie says.

"They might be a little bit more adventurous on holidays and feel more like their real selves and we wanted to bring that idea into the collection.

"We call it urban resortwear - the idea that your summer wardrobe can be a little bit more fun and playful, but that it's not only reserved for the beach and holidays.

"You can bring that sense of being relaxed and real into your everyday wardrobe even when you are not on holidays.”

If you have never visited Oslo, there has never been a better time to plan a trip than now. As the summer months beckon, the surrounding forests become lush and verdant offering a scenic backdrop for the hustle of sailboats that make their way into the fjord.

For those who haven’t been to Oslo in a decade or so, they will return to find a city transformed. No longer is it in the shadow of Stockholm and Copenhagen. Now the reinvigorated waterfront and modern architecture has breathed new life into the city making it compelling to stay a while even if it is just for a day.

Must stroll

Start at Aker Brygge, a boardwalk development of shops, restaurants and bars at a former shipyard. Continue to Tjuvholmen, a former execution spot for thieves in the 18th-century, this town within a town has swanky apartments, offices, a supermarket, upscale restaurants, and even a pebble beach.
Art lovers shouldn’t miss the Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art and its quirky sculpture garden.
Across the harbour, you’ll find Akershus Fortress, a renaissance castle that has served multiple uses over the years. Dip into the museums if you have an interest in medieval or World War II history, otherwise just explore the grounds and enjoy the views across the water.

Continuing east, the revitalised Bjørvika bay in the Sentrum borough, has long been designated as the city’s new cultural quarter. This is where you will find the Opera building, the beach promenade, as well as trendy shops and seafront restaurants.

Must visit

Although some way out of the city centre, Vigeland Sculpture Park is well worth the short ride on the city’s efficient metro or tram system. Norwegian sculptor Gustav Vigeland was obsessed with the human condition and it shows in his life’s work that fills the park.

These 212 bronze and granite sculptures depict everything from angry infants to pensive pensioners. At the park’s heart is a 14-metre high monolith, said to represent the human desire to reach out to the divine, which took Vigeland and his team over 14 years to carve.

Travelling can be stressful enough without the added headache of misplacing your property. If you have travel insurance you may be able to make a claim, but when the item has sentimental value or another compelling reason, recovering the item may be preferable.

If you have found some lost property and wondering what to do with it – i.e. hand it in at the local police station or ask around – it’s worth checking the MissingX lost and found cloud-based platform. It is the largest in the world and to date has recovered 1.6 million items for the owners.

MissingX is free to use and easy to register lost property or to check if yours has been handed in virtually (they don’t actually store the items themselves).

Ole-Ray Grodset CEO of MissingX, said:

In that moment of panic we all feel when we lose something,
we offer a helping hand that can lead you directly to your property. 
We want to provide the largest and most efficient service
which delivers the best possible service to our clients and customers 
getting as close to 100% return rate as possible.

The service is free for both police and members of the public to search, register, claim and report lost or found property.

How MissingX works

If you have lost property your first point of call should be to register the item on the MissingX website. Just click on the red “Lost Something” button and follow the steps to register your lost item.

The more details you can record about the item (from the colour and make to the serial number), the higher the likelihood of getting a match and verifying you are the rightful owner. If you think you have left it on a plane or a train, you can include details like your seat number or flight number or train time.

You can also perform a quick search to check if anyone has registered your item as found, and offer a reward to other MissingX users for its successful return.

The system is designed for police and insurers to correctly identify you as the owner. You will be asked to prove the item is yours by uploading photos and describing the item or its contents in detail.

If you want to improve your chances of recovering lost property, you can also register items in advance (from £9.99 per year for 5 items).

Don’t forget: if you lose anything valuable while travelling, make sure you contact your travel insurer. If you suspect the item has been stolen, you may wish to report it to the police (especially if it is a high worth item like an engagement ring). Be sure to get a crime number as your travel insurance company will want to see this.

Register property you have found

If you come across a seemingly abandoned item, the first thing to do ask around. Or hand it into a police station or a lost and found desk if at a train station, airport or music festival for example.

Alternatively record it on MissingX website by clicking on the black “Found Something” button. Fill in the details and the system will automatically check if a similar item has been registered as lost. If not, you can register the item and you will be notified as soon as it has been claimed.

Some users offer rewards for returned items, so keep an eye out for this as well.

While it's often hard to stay motivated to exercise during pregnancy, particularly as your belly gets bigger and bigger, a new study suggests it might be worth the effort, reducing the length of labour by almost an hour.

The research, published in the European Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology looked at the influence of an exercise program completed during pregnancy on the duration of labour in healthy pregnant women.

A team from the Technical University of Madrid randomly assigned 508 pregnant women into either a control group or an exercise group. Mums assigned to sweat during their pregnancy completed a moderate aerobic exercise program three days a week.

As well as examining the length of labour of mums in the two groups, researchers also looked at other factors including mode of delivery, gestational age, maternal weight gain, pre-term delivery, use of epidural, and birth weight.

The team found that mums who exercised three times a week had labours that were on average 50 minutes shorter. "A supervised physical exercise program throughout pregnancy decreased the duration of the first phase of labor as well as total time of the first two phases together, leading to a decrease in total labor time," the authors write.

In addition, women who exercised were less likely to have an epidural and less likely to have babies with neonate macrosomia or bubs over eight pounds.

It's not the first time research has highlighted the benefits of staying active during pregnancy, when it comes to duration of labour. An observational study published in the journal Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica in 2009, found that first time mums with good aerobic fitness also had shorter labours.

In their guidelines on exercise during pregnancy, The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RANZCOG) note that: "all women with uncomplicated pregnancy should be encouraged to participate in aerobic and strength conditioning exercise."

RANZCOG advises that women should be encouraged to continue their established exercise routines during pregnancy, while inactive women can commence exercise within certain parameters. "While obese or previously inactive women, and women with pregnancy complications, may benefit from exercise it is important that evaluation on an individual basis is undertaken before commencing an exercise program that can be followed during pregnancy and beyond," the organisation notes.

RANZCOG specifically advises:

Frequency: Pregnant women should aim to be physically active on most, but preferably all days of the week.
Duration: Exercise sessions should be around 30 mins. "While no evidence exists for an upper limit to exercise duration, it is probably unwise to extend exercise duration beyond 60 minutes per session, unless the intensity is relatively light," they note.
Intensity of exercise will depend on a woman's pre-pregnancy fitness and exercise regime. "For previously inactive women commencing an exercise program during pregnancy, maintaining a 'moderate' intensity is adequate to obtain benefits for health and well-being. Likewise, a woman accustomed to moderate intensity exercise pre-pregnancy should aim to maintain this level of intensity during pregnancy," RANZCOG notes.
Mode: The organisation recommends women engage in both aerobic and strengthening exercises. This can include walking at a "brisk" pace, swimming or use of a stationary bike. In addition, "Women should aim for two sessions of strengthening exercises per week, on non-consecutive days, covering the main muscle groups of the body."
Expectant women should also be aware of these warning signs to cease exercise and seek medical attention:


  • Chest pain  
  • Unexplained shortness of breath
  • Dizziness,
  • Feeling faint or headache
  • Muscle weakness
  • Calf pain, swelling or redness
  • Sudden swelling of the ankles, hands or face
  • Vaginal bleeding or amniotic fluid loss
  • Decreased fetal movement
  • Uterine contractions or pain in the lower back, pelvic area or abdomen

Children are swiping on books in an attempt to turn pages, teachers have said, as they are confusing them with mobile phones and iPads.

There is a "disturbing" trend of children in reception and at nursery school picking up library books and trying to "swipe left", delegates at the UK's National Union of Teachers (NUT) annual conference in Brighton were told.

During a debate about libraries, Jennifer Bhambri-Lyte, a delegate from North Somerset, told of "happy childhood memories" of "running into a library, snuggling in a corner with a book, cuddling up to mum, turning the pages, gazing at the pictures".

She told the conference: "Kindles and iPads are wonderful things, but many of my friends talked about the smell of a book, finding tickets and receipts that someone had left as a bookmark, echoes of all the people that had been there before."

Ms Bhambri-Lyte went on: "I've taught both nursery and reception and I personally still find it disturbing to see a child pick up a book and try to swipe left." She said that books are a now luxury that many struggling families cannot afford, and that libraries can act as a "pair of armbands".

A previous report by the National Literacy Trust (NLT) advised parents to turn to iPads and Kindles to get boys interested in reading, amid fears that large numbers of children are shunning books at a young age.

Their research found that children aged three to five often read for longer and had a better grasp of vocabulary when accessing touch-screen technology. Tablet computers had a particular impact on groups that are traditionally most resistant to reading – particularly boys and infants from poor families, the study added.

During the debate, NUT delegates raised concerns about a "shocking hammering" of library services in the last decade. Proposing the motion, Jonathan Reddiford, from North Somerset, argued that the number of public libraries has fallen by almost 900 in the last 10 years, with more expected to go.

"That is a shocking, shocking hammering of vital public services for many, many people," he said.


At least 441 community libraries have closed in the past decade, with a further 149 under threat, the conference was told. The drop in professional librarians has led to a 93 per cent increase in volunteers working in libraries "resulting in an erosion of a longstanding knowledge and skill base which threatens the quality of the service they provide", the motion said. The NUT resolved to campaign for properly funded libraries which employ professional librarians.

Kevin Courtney, general secretary of the NUT, said: "Libraries are an essential part of school and community life and as relevant now as they ever have been. Tragically, over the past decade the number of school libraries staffed by qualified librarians has declined rapidly.

"Reading for pleasure is a skill for life and is consistently shown to be one of the most powerful springboards for children's engagement with learning, thinking and creating.

 "The Government needs to put libraries, books and reading for pleasure centre-stage in its vision for children and young people."

A UK Department for Education spokesperson said: "We want all children to have the opportunity to read widely and earlier this year we announced a multi-million pound fund to make sure pupils can master the basics of reading."


Before she even became a mother, Clare knew she was going to speak to her babies from the "get go".

As an Early Childhood Educator, Clare believes babies absorb language "like a sponge", so she was keen to help them soak up as much as possible.

But Clare didn't just focus on the words she used.

She was also mindful of the way she spoke, choosing to speak in a calm voice while smiling a lot.

"A smile injects encouragement into your voice. It says, 'I'm here and I'm interested in you'. Mostly, for my children, it led to alert and plentiful interactions."

Clare believes the joy she conveyed while smiling was also "contagious" and led to lots of smiles and laughter in return from her babies.

But, like any parent, Clare wasn't always calm and happy.

Whenever she felt stressed or exhausted, she found she spoke "harshly" - usually to herself.

"This always led to stressed and tearful babies, who were then incredibly difficult to settle."


"While a positive voice helps a child to feel safe, encourages interaction and supports their developing attachment, a negative tone is more likely to create a sense of caution and withdrawal - especially when that's the norm."

New research supports Clare's beliefs.

Published in the journal Infancy in July this year, the research suggests that babies can tell if you're smiling when you're talking - even if they don't understand what you're saying.

For the study, Dr Titia Benders, Lecturer in Linguistics and Deputy-Director of the Child Language Lab at Macquarie University, found that six month-old babies preferred listening to sentences with raised spectral frequencies (which happens when you're smiling), rather than lower ones (which happen when you frown).

You can try it yourself by making the sound 'sss' while smiling versus frowning. When smiling, you'll notice the sound is higher in frequency.

"Adults may think you have to speak in a high-pitched voice to attract babies' attention," said Dr Benders.

"These findings suggest parents can mix it up if they're trying to get their child's attention - namely by smiling when they speak."

These findings make sense to Kirstin Bouse.

The clinical psychologist and author of The Conscious Mother says babies are "extremely attuned" to their mothers and know if their mum is smiling when talking to them.

Naturally, she believes it's best to speak to babies in a "warm and loving" voice.

While talking to your baby in a loving voice is a great way to help her feel safe and calm, Bouse says there are plenty of other ways you can reassure your little one.

Eye contact and touch are pivotal.

"In fact, there is a fair amount of research from years gone by clearly demonstrating how important gentle and loving physical touch for a baby to thrive.

"Chatting, singing, playing, cuddling, tickling, holding and baby massage are wonderful ways to connect and communicate with your baby."

But, just because babies can tell when you're smiling, doesn't mean you have to slap on a grin every time you go near your little one.

"We cannot be perfect and we simply don't have to be perfect," Bouse reassures.

"We can raise very happy, loving and capable children by being 'good enough'. So raising your voice now and then is not something to beat yourself up about."


A team of scientists may have discovered the earliest age at which a person can reason logically: 12 months.

For decades, psychologists have considered language a necessary and essential indicator of inferential thinking - the complex ability to "read between the lines," to reason one's way to a correct interpretation of an event when the evidence is not obvious. As recently as 2014, experiments by prominent developmental psychologists suggested such thinking began between 3 and 5 years of age.


Psychologist Nicolo Cesana-Arlotti, a postdoctoral fellow at Johns Hopkins University, thought the age might be much younger.

"If you have logical reasoning, you can generate conclusions, you can obtain evidence that would be hard to obtain otherwise," he explained this week. "It opens you up to much more information. So we were driven by the belief that logical reasoning might play an important role in a full picture" of the infant mind.

He and his colleagues were right.

In a study published Thursday in the journal Science, Cesana-Arlotti and his colleagues described how they determined infants might have inference-making ability. Their experiment involved 144 babies, half of them a year old and half 19 months old, but none yet talking. In the experiment, the children sat in the laps of their silent and impassive mothers, who were blindfolded so the babies would not pick up on any unintentional facial clues. An animated sequence then played on an individual computer screen.

Each group watched the same animation, which included such virtual objects as an umbrella, flower, smiley face and dinosaur placed in front of a black screen. The tops of each were drawn to be identical, and when the two objects flew behind the screen - say, the umbrella and the smiley face - only those tops could be seen. Suddenly, a cup scooped up one of the objects - the baby could not see which - and moved in front of the screen. Again, just the object's top was visible within the cup.

At this point, the black screen dropped to reveal the remaining object - let's assume the umbrella - behind it. To test the babies' logical reasoning - their ability to infer through the process of elimination that the smiley face must be in the cup - the researchers pulled a fast one. Instead of the smiley face, another umbrella appeared in the cup. Each baby, regardless of age group, reacted by looking longer at the cup. There was no difference between the two age groups.

"It's a classic paradigm," said Cesana-Arlotti, the study's lead author. "When something unexpected happens, the infant looks longer because their expectations have been violated."

But Lisa Oakes, a psychologist at the Centre for Mind and Brain at the University of California at Davis, wonders if there could be an alternate explanation. Perhaps the infants held their gaze longer on the cup simply because they were watching two different items emerge from behind the screen.

"These events are very complicated," she said, "and it would be difficult for an infant to keep track of the sequence of actions and maintain the information in working memory over the entire event. It is possible that the interpretation by the authors is correct, but their interpretation is not the only one."

Additional evidence for their theory, the researchers claim, can be found in the measurements they recorded of each baby's pupil dilation throughout the experiment. In the time between when the two objects emerged from behind the screen and the contents of the cup were revealed, they discovered that the infant's pupils dilated, and their attention tended to shift toward the cup. Both the dilation and attention orientation seemed to support the idea of inferential thinking, they concluded.

Susan Hespos, principal investigator at the Infant Cognition Lab at Northwestern University, calls the research "an elegant series of experiments," noting that "infants, toddlers and adults all show similar dilation patterns." Her takeaway: "These data provide evidence that some of the human characteristics that make us so smart are evident in primitive form early in development. Finding logic abilities in infants as young as 1 year of age suggests that these abilities might be continuous over development."

In a commentary that accompanied the study, Justin Halberda, director of the Johns Hopkins Laboratory for Child Development and the Vision and Cognition Lab, noted the emerging field that is studying the "foundations of logical abilities" and the contribution this latest research might make.

"It is thrilling for us as scientists - using logical reasoning to understand how we reason logically," Halberda said.


Well, what do we have here? Cardi B has fallen under Petra Collin’s gaze not once but twice. In February, the fashion photographer shot Belcalis Almanzar for CR Fashion Book Issue 12. Of her cover star, Carine Roitfeld said she was inspired by “this generation’s ability to make the most of their crazy reality and use it as fuel for creativity."
On Monday, Cardi took things a step further in the video for “Bartier Cardi," her ode to her “dazzling come-up,” with Collins leading the charge. Collins has become known for making the women she photographs appear both alive and otherworldly, having worked with the likes of Gucci and Selena Gomez. When the video premiered during Love and Hip Hop Atlanta— Mona Scott Young’s series that introduced Cardi B to the rest of America — the rapper owned every bit of her femininity, from her furs to her body movements. And similar to Cardi and Collins’ spread in CR Fashion Book, the music video showed the rapper in all her high-low glory, with product placements from Fashion Nova and EOS surrounded her luxurious outfits dripping in diamonds. But it wasn’t just Cardi who benefitted from Collin’s soft-focus glow. In fact, we spied several familiar faces who we’re sure are about to become the next big thing.
“Fun fact: We made sure to include all different types of women models!” Patientce Foster, who co-creative directed the music video, captioned a still from the shoot in her Instagram story. “Skinny, curvy, Asian, [and] Black!” And it was the casting that made the video even more epic. Here’s your complete guide to the Insta-models who received the Cardi B blessing.

In the world of fashion, sweats fall low on the scale of what is considered "chic". Despite cute designer collaborations, both high and low, the fact remains that hoodies are inherently chill. They're the cozy thing you steal from a significant other (that you never return when they become insignificant); the piece you always grab for errand running. For many, they rarely enter your everyday dress code. But I found one that will. Shop Now

The Timeless Handmade Jewelry Article

Jewelry has always been essential to people who loves to accessorize. One special piece can make such a difference in the presentation of same outfit. There are so many different variations and handmade jewelry stands out because of its uniqueness. Beaded, carved, filigreed, engraved, sequined, knitted, and painted, various techniques for handicraft arts have been continually developed in all cultures throughout time, which certainly expand the variety of handmade jewelry.

Handmade jewelry makers utilize many types of metals and gemstones in their work, such as brass, copper, silver, gold; and crystal, quartz, turquoise, coral and amethyst. Many contemporary jewelry artists make use of even more diverse materials such as glass beads, fabric, acrylic as well as organic /natural material such as wood, leather, shell, hemp, raffia grass, animal horns, bones and even teeth. In fact jewelry made of these materials gains more and more in popularity.

Compare to mass-produced jewelry, handmade jewelry involves much more with culture, humanity and history. Most handmade jewelry has a certain ethnic flair. Or I should say, most culture has their own unique handmade tribal jewelry. Miao, for instance, an ethnic group at South West China, is well-known for their amazing women’s 20+ kg silver costume jewelry set as well as their extraordinary craftsmanship on silver jewelry making. Although Miao silver (a combination of nickel and copper) is utilized as a more affordable alternative nowadays, the popularity of Miao handmade hairsticks and accessories is still increasing because of their varied and creative designs. Tibetan handmade jewelry, on the other hand, featured bold styles and dramatic colors. The styles are versatile enough for you to find “go anywhere” pieces to wear with anything from jeans to evening dress. Thanks to the convenience of internet, I have collected native American cuffs, African leather necklace, Tibetan style beaded turquoise and coral bracelets, Miao hair jewelry sets, Indian Kundan necklace and earrings, and oriental carved lacquer and Cloisonné hairsticks, with some simple clicks of mouse. My biggest surprise was a piece of one-of-an-kind refractory porcelain hair stick. The exquisitely handmade flowers look so real and almost too pretty to wear.

Finding a gift for loved ones or special events such as bridal shower is never easy. If you want to make an unforgettable present, you might want to consider handmade jewelry. My friend Maggie, a pretty and smart girl, bought dozens of Tibetan silver cuffs studded with gemstones for her bridal shower. “How many times will a woman want to wear identical stuff as somebody else’s?” She said. How true! Her gift turned out to be a “bomb” on that day!

Price is always the concern. The price for handmade jewelry varies in a large range depending on the material, craftsmanship and sometimes brands. The most important thing to remember when shopping for handmade jewelry is that you are looking for uniqueness. It does not have to expensive or made of precious material. It is the style that catches you and others eyes. Also, while the internet made it easy for us to shop at home, it also provides means for us to compare styles and prices, as well as searching for best deals such as free shipping, on-sale and coupons.

Whether you are looking for something to accent a dress for the special occasion or unusual gifts for the loved one, try handmade jewelry and make the memory timeless.

If you are a lover of fashion jewelry and have never heard of tagua beads, you are missing out, big time. Let me enlighten you: tagua beads, also called "exotic ivory" and "vegetable ivory", are made from the nuts of the tagua palm, a plant that grows in the rain forests of Ecuador.

Tagua jewelry looks and feels a lot like ivory, but is obtained in a much more peaceful way and no animals have to die in the process. However, the process itself is very laborious and fascinating. It starts with collecting and drying the seeds, which can take up to 60 days. Then the nuts are selected according to size and cut into slices. Then the slices are shaped and transformed into beads and buttons, polished and dyed using water based non-toxic dyes, then polished again. These natural beads also go through rigorous quality control at all stages of production.
On EcuadorianHands.com you can purchase necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings made out of tagua beads. They come in all shapes and sizes and some incredibly beautiful and original color combinations.
They can be best defined as everyday statement jewelry. They are bold enough to get you noticed but are simple enough to be worn everyday with your favorite pair of jeans. But you know what they look best with? A flowing, light summer maxi dress in juicy tropical colors, a cocktail in your hand and sand between your toes. 
Oh, and the best part? Unlike real ivory, tagua beads are super affordable: you can get a pair of earrings for as low as $2.49 and a jewelry set for as low as $4.49! Isn't that incredible?
Also, a bonus: tagua bead jewelry can be laser engraved with logos, symbols and personalized messages. Order yours now and make it unique!

On Makeup:
Keep it natural. Men don’t want to go in for a kiss and come out looking like they just joined the circus. Remember, foundation is supposed to be invisible to others and blend in with your skin. Stay away from glittery or shimmering eye makeup and NEVER use clumpy mascara. Minimal makeup is sexier.
What Carolyn Says:
Yes, foundation is supposed to blend and clumpy mascara is no ones friend, but if I want to wear glitter and shimmery eye makeup, I’m gonna wear the fuck out of it. If I want to wear bright red lipstick and you have this fear of looking like a clown after kissing me? Honey, that’s your problem, not mine.

Thanks, Mom.
On Hair:
While a fancy hairstyle may be ok for a glamorous night out, men prefer natural-looking hair. It’s more attractive to look at and feels nicer to touch when it’s free of gels or sticky products.
What Carolyn Says:
Well, I have naturally curly hair so don’t fucking touch it. And when I have my Men Preferred Natural Looking Hair, I am 90 percent of the time, not a fan. It’s half curly, half frizzy, and pretty heinous to look at so I’m gonna go ahead and do my hair. I don’t like my hair all natural, I don’t give a shit if you do.
2016-01-22-1453482589-9844517-3ec12c0433614b0db2693beaee0fb615_zpsd69f7a5e.jpg
Obviously, you don’t have naturally curly hair.
On Shaving:
For the love of all that’s smooth — please shave. Men associate hair with testosterone and testicles so they don’t want to see it on a woman. Men like touching soft skin so say bye bye to the fuzz and make sure you use moisturizers and lotions to keep your skin smooth. It will send the message that you care about your hygiene.
What Carolyn Says:
I can’t stop laughing at this. I can’t. I shave dem pits pretty much every three days. I don’t like armpit hair. I’m a pretty sweaty person so having armpit hair makes me sweat more. But if you want to wave your armpit hair like you just don’t care, you do you. Other than that, I am 1000 percent too lazy to keep up with shaving. Shaving is annoying. Men don’t have to shave, why the fuck do I? Right, because society!
In the winter, I shave my legs maybe once every three months. Lady, I live in basically the tundra so I gotta keep warm. If you think I’m wearing anything but pants in the winter, you have another thing coming. In the summer, I shave my legs when I can start feeling the wind all up that bidniz. But because I’ve been #blessed with blonde hair, I don’t shave that often. When it comes to my body, I will go ahead and do what I please. AS EVERYONE SHOULD.
And just because I don’t wax every fucking part of my body everyday to resemble a toddler doesn’t mean I don’t care about my hygiene. Fuck you.

GROSS.
On Dental Hygiene:
Let’s face it ladies — men look at our mouths. Bad breath and discoloured teeth are unattractive to the opposite sex. Cut down on the coffee or red wine. Use whitening toothpaste or strips to brighten your smile and ALWAYS carry gum or breath helpers in your purse. You never know when that kiss may be coming.
What Carolyn Says:
I don’t drink coffee or red wine but if I did, I probably wouldn’t give it up just to find myself a suitable mate. I basically never have gum or breath helpers (...tic tacs?) in my purse. So if my guy kisses me and notices that my mouth wasn’t just dentist approved, will he be forever repulsed by me? Well if that’s the case, he is clearly way too high maintenance for me and can go suck a dick. DON’T FORGET THE BREATH MINTS.

My mouth is doing just fine, thanks.
On Alcohol:
Sure, a man likes to hang with a woman who knows how to have a good time but know when enough is enough. No man wants to see a woman puking in the bar bathroom or falling down on the dance floor.
What Carolyn Says:
If you peruse my Facebook page, you will find that this isn’t true. I’ve puked in every bar in Edmonton. I’ve fallen down on every dance floor in Edmonton. I still have a husband, PRAISE JESUS M I RITE?!
On Negativity:
Men like happy, positive women. So don’t complain about the lack of service at a restaurant or how long you had to wait in a line. Show your upbeat personality.
What Carolyn Says:
Um. No. But thanks. Imma ‘splain to you when I’m not happy about something. I am not a robot. I am a human person who complains about shit. And you’re going to hear about it. And guess what! I want to know what grinds your gears! Because humans! But I’m a woman so I guess I’ll just keep my goddamn mouth shout. I AM CURRENTLY SO UPBEAT, HAPPY, AND POSITIVE ABOUT STANDING OUTSIDE IN -40 DEGREE WEATHER BECAUSE WE ARE WAITING IN LINE TO GET INTO THIS PIECE OF SHIT CLUB. IS IT OKAY THAT MY HAIR IS DONE UP BY USING PRODUCT? PLEASE APPROVE THIS. I AM A WOMAN SO I PROBABLY NEED VALIDATION.
On Swearing:
Men like ladies with a little class so dropping the f-bomb in every sentence is a turn-off and does not show how sophisticated you really are.
What Carolyn Says:
Fuck you, you fucking fuck.

On Nagging:
No one wants to be told over and over again that they are doing something wrong. Choose your battles ladies. If they leave the toilet seat up, quietly put it down. If they don’t shave for a couple of days, deal with it. Let him hog the remote control once in awhile. Remember, there are probably things they don’t like about you too.
What Carolyn Says:
THEN TELL ME? This is how relationships work. By speaking to each other. But letting it all fester and fester will INEVITABLY lead to you blowing the fuck up over something so minuscule. Sure, you don’t have to nag, but if you AREN’T GETTING THE FUCKING PICTURE HOW IS THAT MY FUCKING PROBLEM.
On Being Needy:
Don’t ever drop your girlfriends and family for a man. Being too dependent on your man to make you happy is a turnoff. Expecting him to change to meet your needs is also very unattractive. They want to be loved for who they are.
What Carolyn Says:
Preach. Finally, something we agree on. OH WAIT, except that you contradicted EVERYTHING you just mentioned above. “Expecting him to change to meet your needs is also very unattractive.” But it’s okay that we have to change ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING about our personalities and daily grooming routines for him? Don’t wear too much makeup, don’t do your hair all fancy all the time, shave everything, cut out certain things to make your teeth nice, don’t wear too much perfume, don’t drink excessively, be a robot, don’t fucking swear, no nagging up in this bitch, don’t be needy. But ABOVE ALL ELSE, don’t forget to ~*~be yourself~*~.
If you want me to love my man just the way he is, then he can sure as fuck love me the way I am.
