A Sexxy Start

 Any thing black, especially a little black dress. I can't help it I love black it dark, sensual and basic with class.

I love layered necklaces, it is especially sexy with a plunging neckline or collared blouse with a deep opening

80% of the time I will have a dark color on my toes, I think it looks better on my feet......

I will choose lip gloss over lipstick any day, it is something about the shine, to me you are asking for lips to be notice 

A good pair of fitted jeans, I don't think I need to explain why

A little shimmer for the summer months

Every women should own a pair of hoops, they are a sexy accessory must have

A nice neutral summer color for me 

I am not a big make-up person, I love a minimalist look and the fact that you can be made up without looking like it.

This is my sexy look list, what is yours? If you don't have one then there is no time like the present to put it together. All it takes is baby steps to getting your sexy on.

Don't Go It Alone

     I have been thinking about how the best motivation may not come from ourselves but from others. Now, I know we should believe in ourselves, and encourage ourselves whether it is something as challenging as climbing the corporate ladder to something as simple as getting sexy but, sometimes that encouragement, motivation, or confidence boost comes from a friend, co-worker or even a complement from a stranger.
     I will give you an example, recently at my job we have decided to get down to business so we can get our sexy on this summer. We all have been slacking at some point in time all winter(you too! so don't judge)so, we are all focusing on eating better, getting a little exercise(just some extra steps in to burn some calories), and for some of us upgrade our style/wardrobe/look. I have to honestly say it's fun doing as a group and, I believe we encourage one another(no bullhorn needed, just laughs, encouraging words, and healthy breakfast/lunches for all) in a way that may not be as effective if each one of us was going it alone. Now, no one is keeping tabs on one another outside of work, but for that 8-10 hours we are together we make it a good, relaxed, fun experience and I have realized that that is important to have someone positive in your corner for that encouragement.
     I would like to take with I have learned and encourage you to do the same. It does not have to be motivation to eat healthy or loose weight. It can be something simple as getting cute for the summer, finding a new color to wear, or a new hairstyle. The point is to have someone in your corner that encourages you, and motivates you to get out there and be a better, sexier, confident you.

Let's Get Ready for Summer

       Ladies it has been a hard winter for all of us, some got it worse then others but I can see the sun and summer is upon us so time to put in work. Before you slip on those slingbacks, reveal those shoulders or even go swimsuit shopping lets get things right.
     I know not all women shaved during the winter months(this is an actual fact), or only shave particular areas i.e legs from the knees down. If this is you then OK, but it is now time to shave/wax it all. You will no longer be able to get by with half a shave so now is the time to invest in the good stuff(razors, shaving cream, Nair, wax...what ever are your tools of the trade) and start the prep work. Remember exfoliation is also important for the skin just like it is for the feet. Caress body wash is my choice whether it's Tahitian Renewal or Evenly Gorgeous you will walk out your shower with soft, smooth skin, ditching the dry skin that may have plagued you all winter. Now, if you are a DIY(Do It Yourself) kind of girl then a homemade body scrub made from sea salt, white sugar, or brown sugar maybe the way to go for you(I will post some to my Facebook page www.facebook.com/gettingtosexy). What ever method you chose, the benefits of exfoliating is worth the extra shower time.
     The next prep works is the feet, please please, please do not attempt to slide on anything that reveals any part of your foot without getting a "GOOD" pedicure. Think about it your feet have been stuffed in boots, socks, and what ever else to stay warm this winter, and there are some of us that put off getting pedicures during the winter months(even though that is not an excuse). Now is the time to get that together and get those tootsies soft, smoothed out and presentable for our hot summer months. I suggest going to a professional and letting them work their magic but if you want to DIY I suggest the Listerine foot soak and exfoliating with a lemon half that has been dipped in sugar. You can Google these recipes as well but I will also post them this week. Keep in mind the money you spend to DIY your feet you can give to a professional to smooth them out, at least the first time to kick off the summer, after that you can  DIY to maintain them.
The last thing ladies I want to mention is updating your makeup to some cute summer colors, there are plenty of cosmetic companies that have put out a rainbow of colors for the summer season. My favorite right now is Cover Girl Colorlicious in Purplelicious #650. It is a fun color with a lot of shine. Your makeup should be fun and colorful for the summer so this is a good time to start trying new shades and colors to carry you through a long, warm summer(fingers crossed).
