Fall and winter in Modeling…

The colder weather, for some, is a welcome relief from the hot, summer weather; but there is the problem with the dry air, it can really take a toll on your hands and feet!  Try to soak your feet at least once a week…more if you have the time.  Scrub off the dry, dead skin (use a course foot file/sander), then get a really good moisturizer, and massage it in well.  Use baby oil on top of that, and put on a soft pair of socks.  It works wonders to soften those cracked, dry feet.  Take time to always put on a good moisturizer, but do this especially during winter.  Your looking good!  http://www.waimomona.wordpress.com/

Fragrance just for you…

A woman should always use a fragrance that makes her feel good about herself.  Fragrance is very much a part of physical beauty.  Even when you see a photograph of a beautiful model, you just know she must be wearing a wonderful perfume!  Perfume is the ultimate in femininity.  It is icing on the cake, so to speak!     Find your special fragrance and enjoy!  http://www.waimomona.wordpress.com/ 

Natural Hair Products…

There is so much out there that claim to be all natural, some real and some not.  One of the best hair products I have ever used comes from a company from Colorado… ABBA.  They are truly all natural!  Do you know you can even use some of the conditioners to moisturize your skin?  The company has many types of shampoos and conditioners for all types of hair.  Go to Beauty Deals and try it, I know from experience that you will be amazed at the results!  http://www.waimomona.wordpress.com/ 

Sea salt soak…

Growing up in Hawaii, we went to the beach all the time…I never noticed at the time, but my skin always felt soft.  Now that we live in the mainland, I feel the difference.  Soaking in sea salt baths helps bring back that nice soft skin…of course nothing’s as good as the ocean, but it is helpful if the ocean isn’t near by!  http://www.waimomona.wordpress.com/ 

Healthy Hair…

We live in Texas…the water is very hard and it makes the hair stiff and dull.  I have found an inexpensive ingredient that really brings back the shine….Vinegar!  Yes…vinegar.  It works wonders in taking off that lime; it works on the skin as well.  I shampoo twice, then put on the conditioner; then I put some of the vinegar on my scalp and leave it in…the strong smell goes away later after my hair dries.  The conditioners’ fragrance then becomes dominate.  Just a little pearl of wisdom….see the difference!  Beautiful, shiny hair!    http://www.waimomona.wordpress.com/

Modeling bodies…

One of the difficult things that I have a hate/love relationship with is…exercise.  But you can make it fun!  I actually use an exercise program with a teacher my mom has used over the years. Gilad or Bodies in Motion.  He is wonderful!  He targets specific parts and gets it done quick (not to mention the encouragement you hear all through the program)!  I do some extra  target spots of my own as well…those thighs and buns…a difficult spot for me!  But if you keep at it, it is so worth it!  I believe it is a joy for the photographers when you take the time to keep your body looking good.  There are many programs out there that can help.  Give it a try!   http://www.waimomona.wordpress.com/

Healthy Modeling…

Vitamins and herbs are so important to a healthy body.  It will make a difference in the look of your skin, the brightness of your eyes, the health of your teeth, bones and fingernails, not to mention every cell in your body.  Most people know by now we need to be more healthy, but we need to make the care we take a daily habit, not a one-time quick fix.  Keep that body healthy!  http://www.waimomona.wordpress.com/ 

New York Modeling Agencies…

I wanted to write about one of the modeling agencies in New York… Fashion Fit Models.  The agency was started by two beautiful women, who are models themselves; Shanon Knight Jingoli and Alina Locklear.  They’ve had many successes in modeling and are committed to help other models be as successful as themselves.  Take a look at their website and have a great day!  http://www.waimomona.wordpress.com/

Modeling…….

Modeling Agencies….again we come back to this subject.  If you sense there is something wrong in an agency, listen to your instincts…!  Sometimes we’re so desperate to “make it”, we accept any situation, hoping it will get us started, at least.  Step back and ask a lot of questions.  Have a professional look at the contract, etc.  Many of us have been burned, but hopefully we will keep our antennae up and not let it stop us from achieving our goals.   Persistence really does count.  The circumstances may “fog” your way, but life is happening everyday!  Don’t give up!  http://www.waimomona.wordpress.com/

Make up…

One of my favorite makeup companies to mention is Rimmel.  They have a wonderful selection of products and colors and they are classy!  If you want to visit their web site, you will enjoy learning to apply makeup; the latest styles; the latest products, etc.  It’s a really fun site to go to.  Rimmel offers products at a price you can afford and those of us who have sensitive skin can enjoy wearing this makeup all day.   http://www.waimomona.wordpress.com/
