No matter how much us women try to deny it, we all want to be perceived as hot and sexy by our male counterparts, but for some of us, that paradigm of sexiness is nearly impossible to achieve, well luckily, my lovely readers, I have some tips for you to give you a wee hand in the beauty department.
1. WASH EVERYDAY. Yeah, obvious I know but the amount of girls (and guys) I see that do not follow this basic rule is absolutely appalling. I despise the whole idea of a “Kesha shower”, which is a term I learnt from a friend that means spraying your entire body with deodorant instead of washing in the morning, talk about gross! If I was a guy, I definitely would not tap that! You can’t fool other people with body spray girls, the smell of BO cuts through anything else and spraying things on top of it only makes it worse. Instead, if you’re in a rush, opt for a five minute shower, get in, wash the underarms, the lady bits and then out. If I can get up, shower, dress and fix myself for school in twenty minutes, you should be able to as well! If it comes to the worst, always carry baby wipes for a quick freshen up!
2. Use an antiperspirant deodorant and perfume after showering. The reason I have to post the second very obvious tip is again because so many people simply neglect this step of their daily routine. Firstly, invest in a good antiperspirant, I recommend Sure Maximum Protection in Clean Fresh for those women, like me, who sweat buckets, this antiperspirant is not only tough on sweat, it smells nice and clean and doesn’t damage the sweat glands like other, aerosol products. You can buy it here for £5.30 http://www.boots.com/en/Sure-Women-Maximum-Protection-Anti-Perspirant-Deodorant-Cream-Clean-Fresh-45ml_870336/ expensive I know but it lasts for a long time.
As well as making sure you apply your deodorant, ensure that you apply a little perfume, the reason for this is it adds a faint scent to your person that will make people wonder what you are wearing, and if they’re thinking about your perfume, they are thinking about you! It’s best to wear something subtle, personally I like DKNY’s EDT by Donna Karan, it smells lovely and citrusy, very fresh and clean for day wear, and for night time, I love Beyonce’s HEAT which is very fiery, musky and sexy the links for both are below.

The best way to apply perfume in my opinion is 1 spritz on the neck, 1 on the wrists (rub them together) and 1 behind the knees (scent travels upwards) although I’d be a little less liberal with muskier perfumes as they tend to be over powering, you’re trying to be attractive, not overpowering. AND lastly, never, ever, ever resort to wearing cheap drug store body sprays, they smell horrible, brands like Impulse and Charlie smell good to begin with, but during the day they start smelling like alcohol and chemicals and it’s just not very pleasant on the nose.
3. Use a good conditioner to keep hair healthy and shiny, something like Aussie 3 Minute Miracle will have your hair beautiful and silky (but just because it says 3 minutes doesn’t mean you can’t keep it on for as long as you want, I keep mine in over night!) Upgrading your hair care range can make a huge difference to your attitude and appearance, you wouldn’t believe what a confidence boost manageable, smooth and shiny hair is, and if you feel confident and pretty, it shows!
4. Put a colour in your hair, if you’re a commitment phobe then fear not, that’s what a semi permanent colour is for, they usually wash out within two months and they make your hair look great, a nice boost for days when you’re at your wits end with your hair, there’s nothing nicer than a change! TOP TIP, DO NOT LET YOUR ROOTS SHOW, IT LOOKS SUPER TRASHY, YOUR MAKEUP CAN BE AS PRETTY AS A PICTURE BUT IF YOU’VE FIVE INCHES OF ROOTS SHOWING, YOU’RE GOING TO LOOK UNWASHED AND SCRUFFY!
5. Invest in some sexy underwear. yep, I went there, sexy underwear. I didn’t believe this tip when my friend told me about it, but I humoured her anyway and bought a few pairs of lacy pants and a push up bra from Ann Summers (girls even if you’re an F cup like myself, a push up bra is for you, it gives you all the support you need, normal bras don’t cut it) and as soon as I put them on under my clothes I felt naughty and cheeky, like I was hiding a little sexy secret from everyone else, and do you know what ladies, I felt empowered and sexy and now I only wear the Granny panties when the Red Devil pays a visit,. Try it, you’ll love it and the sexiness you feel will show and people will notice! Another little tip I picked up was to try masturbating before a date, (I know right, I can’t believe she said MASTURBATE), it will bring a natural blush to your face, a sparkle to your eyes, make your lips fullers and release pheromones, all of which will aid you in your pursuit of attracting a male, and if that fails, well at least you had a pretty good O on your own eh? Win win.
6. Less is more. My mantra when it comes to makeup is ‘Less is definitely more’, if you’ve good skin then a light covering of BB cream (Garnier’s is best), a lick of mascara, lip gloss and a little bit of brown eyeliner is the way to go, men prefer the young, fresh, dewey look to the “slutty racoon eyes” look that seems to be popular today, try it, you’ll look clean and sexy instead of looking like a ghost who got a good beating.
7.Before you head out, put on some beats, nothing gets you going like a bit fast music, the best artists for “perk me up music” is David Guetta, Rhianna, Katy Perry and the like, their style may not be your favourite sound but the uplifting and sexy lyrics will perk you up and make you feel as though the artist is singing about you and get you in the party mood!
8. Wear red, I’m a big endorser of the colour red, in fact, the name of this blog was going to be ‘Red Rhino’ but the name was taken, red is sexy, red is powerful and red is passionate and when you wear it, it sends all those messages to a man, it will also make you stand out from the crowd, after all, how many woman dare to wear red? But if you do, you will come across to your potential mate as confident, bole and sexy, red underwear is another must have, I know it has connotations of skankiness but to be honest, it can be our little secret, you’ll feel sexy and naughty with it on and any man that you let see if will definately appreciate it! If you feel to chubby to wear red, invest in some Spanx, even skinny girls like Chloe Simms from TOWIE wear Spanx, they are the best product ever, expensive, but they work! If you’re still not bold enough to wear red, I suggest you invest in a good fire truck red lipstick as this sends out the same message, team red your red lippy with with big lashes (no liner), a sheer white shadow and wavy hair, you’ll look like a little sex kitten, below is a lis of suggested products and remember (warm reds for warm skin tones and cool red for cool skin tones);

9. Good dental hygiene is a key factor in someones attractiveness.purchase an Oral B electronic toothbrush, some toothpaste, I recommend something like Sensodyne since most other brands contain alcohol which can inflame herpes (cold sores) and cause Candida (yeast infection) in the mouth, don’t worry about using whitening toothpastes, they don’t usually work. Ensure you brush your teeth at least twice a day for at least two minutes, don’t do it after eating as the acids contained in food weaken the enamel and cause it to erode as you brush. DON’T FORGET TO FLOSS, and make sure you carry a sugar free gum like Wrigley’s Extra Whitening Gum to keep breath fresh!
10. Finally, don’t change who you are. Many think that by changing themselves physically they are changing who they are, but this is not the case, that’s like saying if I were to cover up the character features in an old house with paint they no longer exist, they do, I’ve just hidden them. The same is true with makeup, you’re not hiding WHO you are, you’re hiding the flaws in your appearance to better yourself, and there is nothing wrong with wanting to look good, make sure you eat healthily, work out for 30 mins a day and most of all, stay true to yourself and be happy!
