There are cameras everywhere these days, and pictures of you end up on Facebook and other social media networks mere moments after they’re taken. 
Sometimes you don’t have enough time to untag them before it’s too late, and everyone has seen you looking your worst!
Like the old saying goes, “A picture is worth a 1,000 words.” I want to add to that ~ And least a $1,000 or more dollars of instant credibility…or lack of!
Helpful hints to help you look your fabulous best when facing the flashbulbs:
• Find Your Best Angle. Experiment by posing in the mirror. It will quickly become obvious which angles are your most flattering. Once you know your best angles, you will be ready to pose before the flash pops.
• Chin Up. The dreaded double chin…yikes! The worst…even if you don’t have one, you’ve probably been caught on camera with an angle that
made chin mountains out of molehills. Here is a super simple remedy, stick your chin out and slightly pulled away from your neck. It feels awkward, but the
camera cannot detect the proportion of how far you pull out your chin. This makes your jawline look stronger, lessening the dreadful double chin look.
• Look Longer And Leaner. You’ll rarely see a celebrity standing full face forward to the camera. To help your body look its longest and leanest,
think of a Miss America traditional pose. When you angle your body a bit to the side, you can take down several inches off your torso. The key is to put one
foot in front of the other, and of course smile. No Queen wave necessary.
• Put Your Hand On Your Hip. Not like the Hokey Pokey, but it’s great posing advice that Hollywood Stars are very hip to as well. To make
your hips look slimmer, pull your body forward from the waist up slightly towards the camera. Put one or both of your hands on your hips. Your arms will
look more toned as you will be flexing your muscle slightly when you are holding them on your hips.
• No One Likes A Faker. Genuine smiles only! Avoid the totally fake it out smiles that are so often capture forever on film by thinking of the camera
lens as a person you genuinely like and are happy to see. If you are posing for a series of photos, don’t keep holding your smile ~ your mouth will start
shaking and you will know it’s not natural. My best trick to keep smiling natural is to move my jaw around between pictures – in my case, you might want
to give your photographer a heads up, as when I do this exercise, I look like I am chewing on a leather shoe!
• What in the world should I wear? Wear solid colors in photos. Don’t wear shiny material as it reflects light and can make even the slightest budge look much bigger than it is. A professional makeup application is a must! The camera doesn’t miss a thing, and you only have a flash bulb instant to forever be caught on camera!
Relax…Pose… and Smile…as now you are totally ready for your Paparazzi close ups!

How many times have your heard the words “New Years Resolutions” so far during 2010? I venture to say plenty! Even when statistics show that about 90% plus of all resolutions – new years or otherwise, will be broken before a month has past, lots of us still feel the need to make them. Of course the media adds to frenzy with all of the “New Year – New You” articles and shows. I have to admit, I have certainly made my share of best laid plans in New Years past.

Woman. You have to cut open a redwood tree to see how old it is, but you wouldn’t have to if it had a neck. The neck never lies.” Ms. Ephron is right. While the face is supported with a nourishing cushion of subcutaneous tissue that is rich with blood vessels and oil glands, this build in protection ends at the jaw line. As a result, skin scientists report that the neck area more quickly shows signs of aging – dryness, premature wrinkles and horizontal lines or creases…..charmingly known as ‘turkey-neck.’
