How to Be a Bombshell!

Good evening!!

I am spending some quiet time this evening reading my Self Magazine. They have this GREAT article in it about Sofia Vergaras. Have you heard of her??? She is someone that has recently caught my attention! She is the saucy mom on the television show, The Modern Family. This article is called,

Sofia Vergara’s Rules of Attraction: Start your engines, ladies. The Modern Family bombshell shows you six ways to put a little va into your voom.

Now with a title like that, who could possibly resist??? I know I can’t, AND my va could TOTALLY use some voom – so here I am, honey!!! 😉

Instead of copying her 6 steps to Va-Va-Voom-ness, I thought I would paraphrase and make them my own!!!

1. Tap into your inner Latina – Confident people have a way of carrying themselves that makes other more attracted to them. Latin women are very comfortable with their bodies and their sexuality. We aren’t afraid to show off a little bit more. Be proud of who you are and what you look like! If you have 5-10-15-100 pounds yet to lose – dress those pounds like you are SOOOO PROUD to own them!! They will eventually go away, but you will still be rocking your FIERCENESS!!
2. Flaunt your assets – Go look in the mirror and decide what physical feature of yours you like the best, and HONEY PLAY IT UP!! If it is your eyes, wear some smokin’ eyeliner and mascara every day, or if it is your decollete then always rock v-neck tops that feature your best asset! But, again, it is about being proud of who you are, and what you have and just WORKING IT!!
3. Laugh away stress – In my opinion, nothing can make you look more tired, and run down then when you have lost the lightness in you, that laughter and a sense of humor bring. Be able to laugh at yourself and be happy even under the worst conditions. When you see people in difficult times, that’s when their true nature comes out.
4. Eat what you crave – Constantly denying yourself is decidedly not sexy. Find a small way to indulge every day, but then balance that out with other healthy habits. By doing so, not only do you feel like you have just had a treat, but it will make healthy habits easier to stick to because you will not feel like you are depriving yourself of something that you “can’t have”.
5. Know when to say no – Take time to take care of yourself. You are not a machine, or the Energizer bunny! You NEED to have downtime to pamper yourself, and to re-energize from all that life may throw at you! It is hard to feel sexy when you are too busy looking haggard from running around like crazy, and constantly being on the go. Don’t be afraid to say no to someone who may want you to volunteer for one more activity, or trying to add one more thing to your to-do list. You will feel empowered that you took charge of your time, and you will look more relaxed and attentive for that next event where you are able to get in there and lend a hand.
6. Trade sit-ups for Salsa – Doing a physical activity that is fun, in my opinion, is not exercise, it is fun!! so make sure you get involved in activities that make you happy, while causing you to work up a good sweat! Dancing, swimming, sports with friends, biking your neighborhood, all fun. As my niece likes to say, LET’S GO PLAY!!!

I hope these tips motivate you to go out and give some of these a try. They are simple ways to feel your absolute BEST, and you never know you may just get a date with some hottie while you are out living in your new sexy self!!!

Have a FABULOUS evening!! 😉
