How to Look 10 Pounds Thinner Instantly

By The LifeScript Editorial Staff

Would you consider yourself a fashion guru or a fashion faux pas? If you qualify as the latter, you’re not alone in your confusion about what to wear – many of us are at a complete loss. Fashion becomes even more of a problem for those of us who are trying to discreetly cover a few flaws, like jiggly tummies or chunky hips. We may know not to wear skin-tight clothes when trying to hide bulges, but is there more to dressing thin? If you want to know how to look 10 pounds lighter, we have a few slimming fashion tricks that can help you show off your best assets and disguise your worst…
There are countless rules in the fashion world, like not wearing a brown belt with black shoes and not wearing white to someone else’s wedding. But even if you follow all those rules, there’s a whole new set of fashion laws to follow when you’re trying to camouflage those 10 extra pounds. For example, you might be tempted to throw on a baggy T-shirt and loose jeans to hide your extra flab, but fashion rule #643 says bulky clothes just make you look even bigger.
Lifescript staffer also recommend:
1) Ditch the high-waisted jeans or pants. Although they may appear slimming in the front, especially at the waistline, they only serve to make your bottom look twice as big.

Instead, choose pants that sit lower on your hips, but not so low that your love handles are pushed up and out.

10 Common Superstitions

Gorgeous | Beauty,Health | Tuesday, 26 May 2009

Have walked under a ladder or opened an umbrella indoors lately? Wendy Travis sports a story that explains the good and the bad about theses superstitions and where they came from

Common superstitions can be described as beliefs that have no rational basis. Some superstitions may be just for fun while others may affect you deeply enough to affect your choices in life. None of them are based in fact, but many have roots deep in tradition and history. Most of us probably don’t even know why we give a little shudder when we see a Friday the 13th looming on the calendar or toss salt over the shoulder when the shaker gets spilled. However, many of our common superstitions come with a colorful history or story that may date back centuries. If you would like to know why you shouldn’t walk under a ladder or whether a black cat is really a creature to avoid, read on for the best list of common superstitions that are still a part of our culture and where they came from.

1.      Friday the 13th – Bad Luck
Many of us can’t help but get a shiver of trepidation when we realize that a Friday the 13th is lurking within the current month. A fear of the number 13 is one of the most common superstitions around, and is so widespread that many apartments and hotels omit the 13th floor and some airlines fly without a 13th row. The most popular thought on the origin of this origin is that Judas was the 13th guest at the Last Supper and that Christ was crucified on a Friday. Put it all together, and you have one unlucky day of the year.

2.      Itchy Palm – Good Luck

There seems to be a lot of variations on this superstition, but the idea of having an itchy palm generally refers to someone who is greedy or has an insatiable desire for money.
