How to take better pictures: Simple Tricks

A friend got me  a brand new handphone this Christmas . Yes it's a Samsung replacing my IPhone 5G. Why? He said since I love taking pictures , for the bigger screen of course! Very touched & happy ! Talking about taking pictures, here's some tips from someone who loves using her hp just for that :))

1. Think Good or Funny Thoughts

You might go huh??? But it’s important- sometimes the best way to get a good expression is to realistically think about something pleasant: a special moment, your favorite song, a funny happening. Real thoughts of happiness help get a genuine smile or look and calm an otherwise forced facial expression.

2. Practice Posing

For people with thin lips, part them slightly and blow lightly to create the illusion of fuller ones. Don’t worry about your round face, all you need to do is avoid facing the camera straight on and instead turn the head slightly to one side. Practice with selfies, if you don't get it right the first time it's ok, just delete it until you get the right shot & angle. It might take many shots before you get the one you like, but it's very satisfying :))

3. Smile but you need to find Your Signature Smile

If you ever follow any celebrity closely, you’ll notice they almost always have the same smile & expression when posing for photos. Well, it’s because they’ve tons of experts to figure out what’s their best angle & what works for them.  Again take tons of selfies until you find a ‘signature’ smile that makes you look the best. Like they say practice makes perfect. Besides it’s fun doing it J 

4. For standing shots, just naturally put Your Hands On Your Hips

Your fingers should be out & palms facing behind you. Why? Because this way your waist is accentuated , creating the perception a slimmer you. It’s better than having your arms dangling awkwardly by your side right?

Go on have lots of fun taking many pictures this holiday season :)

Happy New year everyone !!!!

Are you a workaholic? Is it ruining your beauty sleep?

Do you think of sleeping all the time or are you like me, the kind that will “do one more thing “ before bed?

Sure, you may be doing something important while burning the midnight oil, but that may be at the expense of how you feel the next day. According to specialists, most of us require a minimum of 6 to 8 hours of sleep each night, so  sticking to a regular bedtime is beneficial.

Someone told me to have a to do list, yes write it all down in order of priority. You’ll be surprise to find important things just seems less important when you see them in order, on paper. And seriously do all those things need to be done by tonight? Most likely some of the things could be reschedule. E.g. do you really need to update your fb like tonight ??? Do it tomorrow at lunch ! Nobody is going to die just because they didn't see your latest pictures.Your body will appreciate the extra hour or two of sleep the choice grants you.

And as we all  know, we need enough rest to have good skin. Think of all the dark eye circles appearing after a night of "work"! Please take care of your self !
