article: Just like many people contour their faces with makeup, others use contouring to make their legs look longer and more shapely. Before you begin contouring, you will need a smooth canvas to work from. An exfoliating scrub will remove dead skin cells, leaving you with smooth, clean, blemish-free legs. Smooth some of your favorite lotion onto your legs. Moisturized legs will be much easier to work with than dry dusty ones. The smooth, satiny finish will also catch natural highlights better, creating a lengthening effect of its own. Follow the directions on the bottle of your self-tanner of choice. Spread only a thin layer over your legs, focusing on areas near muscles and joints. Use an applicator mitt to perform this step in order to get an even finish and reduce staining your hands. For a less permanent contour, you can use bronzer or a slightly darker foundation instead of self-tanner. When using this type of makeup, be sure to blend it into your skin well with your fingers using small circular motions. Select a second moisturizer containing a lightening shimmer. Apply it to where light would naturally hit your legs: along the shins, down the center of your thighs, and around your calf muscles.

article: California girls are known for their love of the beach and are often seen wearing fun bikinis and one pieces, especially in the southern half of the state. Mix and match your bikinis, pairing a bold graphic top with a more neutral bottom. You can also go for one piece suits with bold graphics on it that evoke California, like the Hollywood sign or a beach scene. You can also wear your swimwear off the beach by wearing a cover up and jean shorts or a summer dress over your bikini. This way you will always be prepared for a spur of the moment dip in the ocean. The California girl aesthetic is often described as laid back, chill, and casual. Jeans are a staple of a laid back style, so invest in several pairs of jeans, from skinny jeans to wide leg jeans and boyfriend fit jeans. You should also look for jeans that are distressed or ripped to create a more laid back vibe. Kimonos are great layering pieces that can be worn over a vintage band t-shirt and jeans shorts for a casual day out or over a long summer dress for date night. Look for kimonos made of interesting prints at flea markets and vintage stores. You can also look for cover ups in the form of jean vests or button up shirts that you can then layer over a bikini or a vintage t shirt for the ultimate California look. Many California girls will choose comfort every time, with a preference for Converse sneakers, flat sandals, or close toed flats. You can pair your Converse sneakers with jeans and a t-shirt or jean shorts, a bikini top, and a kimono. You can also wear flat sandals with summer dresses for a relaxed date night look. If you are looking for a more dressy California girl look, you can pair desert books with a long print skirt or a long print dress. You can also wear wedge heels to give your outfit a bit more of a formal look, while still remaining laid back and very California. Because the California girl style can be so relaxed and chill, you can use accessories like jewellery and hats to still feel put together. Look for delicate gold jewellery, such as thin rings, thin bangles, or stud earrings. Integrate color into your jewellery by going for turquoise rings and bracelets. Many California girls also like to wear straw hats or wide brimmed hats. Baseball caps are also good for casual days out at the beach when you want to keep the sun out of your eyes.

article:
This breathing technique is considered to be an exact science that focuses on the regulation of prana (breathe) by stopping inhalation and exhalation. In a connected way, controlling your inhales and exhales enables you to better control your subtle prana, which in turn, allows you to control your mind. Controlling your mind through Pranayama removes impurities from your body. To achieve this level you have to practice daily in a quiet location free from external distractions. With diaphragmatic breathing, you will want continuously inhale and exhale without pause. This is the opposite of the Pranayama breathing technique. The diaphragm is the efficient muscle used in breathing. By strengthening the diaphragm through this breathing technique, you will decrease the rate of breathing, oxygen demand, and the exertion of less energy to breathe bringing stillness to your body. Since breathing is interconnected to the nervous system as well as the mind, practice diaphragmatic breathing in the early morning and just prior to sunset for maximum effect. The primary goal of mindful breathing is to practice focusing on your own breathing. You must focus on every single inhalation and every single exhalation. This is known as mindfulness-of-breathing. In doing so, you will sharpen your concentration. If you have trouble starting out, try counting your breaths to get your mind in the right place. When you begin, start by gently moving your attention towards the process of breathing. Choose to concentrate on each breath as it happens or on the rise and fall of your chest or abdomen. The point is to understand what it is truly like to breathe without altering the natural process. When finished, try to stay connected to the present moment and expand your awareness to the environment around you. Contemplate your experience and remember how you feel at this very moment. Chakra breathing is designed to assist and improve the flow of energy throughout your body. This is possible because there are seven chakras located within the body. By concentrating on each of the chakras, you will be able to move energy throughout your body by connecting the chakra with your breath. This will create harmony, balance, and positive energy flow, keeping your body healthy both physically and emotionally. The seven chakra are: root chakra on the base of spine; sacral chakra situated in the lower abdomen; solar plexus chakra situated in the solar plexus; heart chakra located at the center of the chest; throat chakra in the throat; third eye chakra located at the center of the forehead; and the crown chakra at the top of the head.
