Holiday Weight Gain? Get Back To Your Model Size Fast!

Christmas was yesterday, but let's be honest we have been celebrating for a couple weeks. We have attended holiday parties for work, holiday parties with family, and many events leading up to Christmas, not to mention all of the lunch/dinner dates with friends. It's a proven fact that people gain weight during the holidays but it's ok, it's easy to lose. Here are a few tips to help you lose the couple pounds that you gained this month. Get back into model shape in no time, busy season is right around the corner.

1. Drink 3 liters of water with lemon per day. Lemon speeds up your metabolism which can burn an extra 100 calories per day.


2. Eat less. You shouldn't always finish your plate, portion size in the US is way to big.


3. Don't buy diet food. It's not good for you, pay attention to labels and fresh food.


4. Eat a salad everyday. Replace one of your meals with a salad everyday, it's a healthy low calorie alternative.


5. Eat frequently. If you wait to eat 1 meal a day you will binge eat. Eat 3 small meals and 2 snacks a day, you will end up eating less.


6. Juice. Use a juicer, it tastes amazing, it's good for you and it's easy. You can use carrots, ginger, cucumbers.


7. Eat nuts. Almonds, walnuts, and cashews make amazing snacks.


8. Eat protein at every meal, it will keep you feeling full longer.


9. Watch what you drink. Alcohol has a lot of calories in it and you don't think about it. Drink less.


10. Be careful of carbs. Great for energy but that is about all.


11. Substitute yogurt for greek yogurt. Greek yogurt has less sugar and more protein.


12. Substitute mayo. Mayo is so fattening, use mustard instead for added flavor.


13. Cut out soda and sugary drinks. This means diet soda, regular soda, flavored coffee drinks and most juices.

These are quick and easy things that can get you back to your pre holiday weight. Make a couple easy changes and substitute a few things. Just be cautious of what you are consuming.

Heels Look So Amazing, But Feel So Awful!

Heels are mandatory in the modeling industry. We love the way we look in them but hate how they feel after and 8 hour shift at a trade show. Not only can heels cause pain and problems with your feet, they can cause problems with your lower back, knees and pelvis. The reason our feet hurt so much after wearing heels is because our feet slide forward in heels and our body has to reposition all of our weight. There is no way that models can get out of wearing heels to their events but there are a few tips that can reduce the pain and future problems. Only wear heels when you absolutely have to. Always have a pair of comfortable shoes that you can change into immediately after work. Pick a thicker heel over a stiletto and avoid pointy shoes, your toes have no room in them. Chose your heels wisely because you will spend a lot of time in them.

Quick Holiday Hair Styles For Models

Just days away from Christmas and still tons of holiday parties to attend! Models always try and look their best but with them being so busy sometimes they just don't have the time. Here are a few hair ideas that any promotional model should try. These looks are easy, simple, classy and look amazing. Try these hairstyles at your holiday events or even the next trade show or event you work.

1. French twist. Super easy, always sexy.


2. Fishtail braid. Put it to the side and make it messy.


3. Ponytail. Always simple.


4. Big curls. Use hot rollers, they last the longest.


5. Bun. Wear it with a shiny headband to make it more dressed up, keep it a little messy.


6. Bangs. If you have bangs show them. Totally in right now.


7. Side ponytail. Curl it or leave it straight.


8. Half back.


9. Braids. Small ones, wrap them into a bun or blend them with a side pony.


10. Waves. Waves are always in, use big velcro rollers for this look.

These styles are all simple and look amazing! Remember to use a small amount of product because natural always looks best. Happy Holidays!

Trends That Always Work For Models

Trends come in and out of style so fast. Models are always changing their style of clothes, hair and make up. What looks will always be trendy and in style forever?

* Wavy hair. Messy hair always looks good. Models can dress up or down and still pull off this look.

* Thick long eyelashes. This is very important for models. Get a great mascara to pull off this look. No need for extensions.

* The natural look. Models that don't have a lot of time can still pull off a great look. Natural make up and natural hair always looks great.

* Pale pink nail polish. Colors change every season, Pale pink looks good on everyone and with every outfit.

* Bronze, sun kissed skin. No need to go tanning or be in the sun. Bronzer works wonders!

* Ponytails. This is a classic and innocent look, and it only takes a few minutes to do.

* Red lips. This isn't an every day look but is great for holiday parties or a night on the town.

Models can wear these looks at trade shows, events, promotions, parties or girls night out. These looks are classic, easy to do and look great!
