Hooking up hot

By Hedda Muskat

Do you feel that you may have let yourself go a little?  Gained that extra weight that makes you feel bad about yourself?  Or, you haven’t changed your hair style in years?  If you’re in the dating world, and you’re looking to meet someone special, it may be time to take a look in the mirror and do a dating makeover.  It’s not about spending a lot of money on this, but a few simple changes can make all the difference about how you carry yourself.  The way you look on the outside has a definite impact on how you will feel on the inside.  Your date will notice a spark, a sense of happiness, and a natural sensuality. To create chemistry, the visual tone of how you put yourself together goes a long way when it comes to attracting the one you want. No one wants to date someone who carries themselves with their heads bowed down; it’s depressing to be around and certainly not a good way to start out.  Here are some tips on how you can do simple changes to impact your sex appeal to hook up hot.

1. Dress Sexy but according to your body type.
2. Make-up. Every woman needs it. Just keep it simple, clean, ensure it suits your skin tone.
3. Get new underwear. A good fitting bra and underwear that tucks your tummy in will make you feel sexy.
4. Treat your body right. Cut out smoking, drinking, bad eating habits.  Try and get enough sleep.
5. Smell nice. That means don’t overdo perfumes.
6. Get a new haircut and take care of your color.
7. Cut out foods that make you feel bloated.
8. Keep active even for a few minutes a day to keep your metabolism moving.

Doing subtle changes to yourself can drastically increase your self-esteem.  Stay true to your style.  Are you Hippie? Chanel? Hipster? 50’s chic? Sexiness is a state of body and mind so keep it real to who you are.
