What To Eat For A Bigger Butt

Image
It can be super frustrating and discouraging to train hard for months to see little to no results. The reality is, no matter how hard you train you won't see results unless your muscle building nutrition is on point. You must consume enough calories with a protein focus. When you work out regularly you are constantly fighting to hold on to that muscle. If you exercise too much without refueling, you will likely see your glutes shrink as you get skinnier.  The staples of your diet for glute gains will be eggs, chicken, fish, nuts, seeds, hummus, and tofu. Your meals should always be a combination of healthy calories and whole feeds. This means lots of vegetables and lean proteins that are known to increase muscle mass. Eggs and spinach are at the top of the list as they are known to increase muscle mass as well as aid in performance. You can read my other informative article top 10 foods to build a bigger butt here. Rest is crucial in order to grow your glutes. Your muscles grow wh

Which Crystals Should Not Be Together

Crystal healing is about balancing the body, mind and energy through the power of crystals.  Many ancient cultures believe that crystals have healing properties such as China, Egypt, and Greece. Some people affirm that crystals and precious stones can rid the body of negative energy while promoting the flow of positive energy. When meditating with crystals, you want to identify what's missing in your life before listening to outside sources. Listen to your gut and let your intuition guide you in the direction of what's best for you. You might feel a physical pull towards a specific crystal, or maybe one catches your eye. Once you choose your crystal, you can start your journey towards creating a connection. It's also important to reactive or recharge your crystals regularly. You can read my article on how to care for your crystals here.                                  Photo credit: My Gemstones Crystals That Conflict With Each Other Every crystal has their own healing powe

Trending Celebrity "Fox Eye Lift"

     If you look at the pictures above, you can pretty much see the similarities in the after photos of each. The pictures are of Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Megan Fox, and Ariana Grande. They've all allegedly undergone canthoplasty surgery or the trending "fox eye lift." This procedure creates the aesthetically pleasing almond-shaped or cat-eye look. Canthoplasty is minimally-invasive and repositions and lifts the corners of the eyes.  Should You Get Fox Eye Lift Surgery? Canthoplasty can benefit those with drooping lower eyelids. It can give you a more uplifted and high desirable almond shape. Please note this procedure should only be performed by a board certified plastic surgeon. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and attractiveness varies from culture to culture. However, cat eyes is a known feature that is considered beautiful universally. Drooping eye corners can make one look sad, tired, and angry. The fox eye lift adds a more youthful, sexiness to your look. T

How To Cleanse And Charge Your Crystals

It is important to cleanse your crystals regularly and make it a part of your weekly or monthly routine. Different crystals require different types of cleansing. For example, tourmaline and rose quartz are fine to sit in water overnight. Whereas most crystals that end in "ite" such as; flourite, selenite, and azurite should never be submerged in water. Make sure to check out my article on Spiritual Crystals and Their Meanings.  Cleansing Your Crystals Visualization: I do this almost weekly. We all have our own super power to cleanse our crystals. Hold each crystal in your hand and focus with positive intention. Meditate, imagining a bright light surrounding you. Manipulate the crystals back and forth with your hands. Once you feel that the crystals have become lighter in your hands, that's a sign that it has been adequately

Glute Activation Exercises

Photo credit: Redefining Strength                                         Glute activation refers to warming up your butt muscles properly prior to training. It is essential especially, if you're trying to build muscle mass and for those who have weak glutes. Poor glute activation is due to long periods of sitting down which affects most of us. Those with weaker glutes are less prepared to handle strenuous exercise, and are prone to injury or lack of tone. Glute activation exercises with help "wake up" your glutes to help properly strengthen your booty. It turns the switch on your glutes so when you train, your actual butt muscles are doing the work and not relying on the surrounding muscles. Glute activation can be done anywhere, your gym, home, outdoors, or hotel room. When you've finished your activation exercises, you can check out my top 5 gluteus maximus exercises or my best butt bulking exercises with videos.  There is also an article 10 foods that build a bi

Sagging Jowl Cosmetic Procedures

The picture above is shocking, and it's me. The first picture is the day I had two syringes of Juvederm Voluma XC. I did not look like this before going into the Medspa :-).  After the filler my face was so swollen and bloated I covered my lower face with my sweatshirt the entire drive home. I was told this was completely normal and results would show within two weeks. I even googled it afterwards and saw pictures of other girls with the same results after injection so I was relieved. The second picture is me after 13 days and I was thrilled with the results. I had slight drooping with age in the lower face area but nothing major. No one could notice it unless I pointed it out, but I noticed it.  While it's shocking right after the injections, I recommend Juvederm Voluma XC for the jowl area. Just maybe plan on not going anywhere for two weeks :-).  **note my lips are bruised because I also got lip filler the same day, it had nothing to do with the jowl filler. My lips also wer

Fancy Steak Side Dishes

Steak is a popular main course which usually is paired with a baked potato or mashed potatoes and vegetables. I particularly find this to become so boring at times. I also find it difficult when I'm hosting a dinner party and some of my friends including myself are on keto. Over the years I've scoured the internet, experimented with my own ideas, and collaborated with others to ditch the potatoes and level-up when it comes to steak side dishes.  Whether you're hosting a dinner party or having a typical family dinner, these elevated side dishes will leave you wondering if you'll ever serve steak with mashed potatoes again (well....just not all the time).   Flowering Red Onions                                  Photo credit: Food Network This side dish is unbelievably simple to make, but it's guaranteed to steal the show. It looks like a beautiful lotus flower on the plate. You may not think a red onion could have so much flavor but this recipe does! The red onion onc
