Get bikini ready quickly and easily!

Summer is quickly approaching; bikinis and crop tops are appearing in the shops. The countdown to our Summer holidays has begun!

If like a lot of us, this time of year has you feeling optimism and dread in equal parts, you are not alone- it is stressful pulling on last summer’s sundresses or trying on the first bikini of the year! But if you know that you are not going to like what you see- then why not do something about it now! 

There are plenty of ways to lose a bit of weight and tone up without having to starve or torture yourself! Find an activity that you enjoy- try a dance class or Zumba, or perhaps trekking in the fresh air? See what is available in your local area and step outside your comfort zone- you just might enjoy it!

Eating healthily doesn’t have to be a chore either- swap your soggy sandwiches at lunch for a nutritious soup and try out a new fruit or vegetable every week- you could be missing out on something really delicious!

There are some great apps out there to keep track of your calorie intake and exercise too. MyFitnessPal lets you record all the food that you eat and works out the calories and nutritional content of your daily consumption. It also lets you record your exercise and offset calories burnt against calories eaten, encouraging you to be more aware of your daily energy input and output. You can track your progress with charts and build up a support network of your friends and family or even other dieters.

If you would prefer to let a gadget record the amount of exercise that you are doing during the day (and gain a more accurate insight into your daily activity levels) you could invest in a FitbitUltra. The Fitbit wirelessly transmits the information that it gathers all day to your smart device or computer so that you can see where you can make improvements and congratulate yourself on your achievements. There is even the Fitbit Aria Wi-Fi Smart Scale that measures your weight, body mass index and body fat percentage to provide a full picture of your weight trends. It allows you to set goals, stay in control and stay motivated every day.

A lot of people are surprised by the unexpected calories that they are inadvertently consuming every day and shocked by how little activity they do in their day-to-day lives- sometimes just being aware of where you are going wrong can make huge changes to your weight, fitness and overall health and help you get that bikini-ready body back in no time at all!  

Rock the 90's trend this Spring!

It’s official; the 90’s are back! Acid wash denim, dungarees and crop tops are all finding their way back into our wardrobes in a big way! Don’t worry though, you don’t need to go all-out ‘saved by the bell’ fancy dress to embrace this trend. Here are some fun ways to add a bit of 90’s ‘girl power’ to your Spring wardrobe!

Dungarees might have you flashing back to your childhood fashion faux pas but worn in the right way, they can look chic and effortlessly casual. Pair These Ranch Handdistressed stretch-denim overalls from Current/Elliott(£355) with heels, bling and a clutch bag to avoid the farm-hand look.

If you have a gorgeous toned stomach then the trend for 90’s crop tops is the perfect excuse for you to show off! If not, don’t despair- minimise the bare flesh on show with a high-waisted pencil skirt or wear under a chic blazer. This crinkled duchesse cotton-blend bra top from Miu Miu (£420) would be perfect for this look.

Functional and comfortable, the trusty backpack is no longer just for schoolbooks. This leather-trimmed tiger-printnylon backpack from Kenzo (£294) is on-trend and perfect for updating any casual outfit with a 90’s twist.
