Guest Blogger: Dolores Michel, Model

Today's guest blogger is model, Dolores Michel. She says:

Here are my favorite tips on what makes me feel beautiful:

• I wake up in the morning and wash with ambi soap. I use aloe vera and vitamin E baby oil or Vaseline Intensive Care for my skin.

• I use Arm & Hammer toothpaste to protect and whiten my teeth because I like to smile a lot and that makes you look younger.

• I also like to pencil my eyebrows and put on colorful lipsticks.

• Every week I get my hands and feet done, plus I regularly get a nice perm so that when I get up in the morning I don’t have to do much to it.

Tip #4: The Flirty Appeal of Scarves

Wear a scarf with lingerie? You bet! A flimsy wisp of fabric tied around your neck can be a sexy accessory. Or go for the timeless sexiness of the veil by wrapping yourself in a gorgeous scarf instead of a robe.

Tip #3: The Middle is Where It's At

One of my favorite quotes comes from the movie, "Hope Floats." (Great movie!) It says, "Beginnings are usually scary, endings are usually sad. It's the middle that counts." Indeed.

Tip #2 – Listen to Your Cravings

Listen to your body until you can trust what she asks to eat. This is a technique I learned while getting over a serious illness in my twenties. I had to really focus internally and learn the difference between what my mouth was used to wanting and what my body really desired. Once I could tell the difference, it was amazing to see how, as my nutritional needs changed, my cravings did, too. And, the best part is how good it feels when your body starts getting the nutrition and flavors she wants. Delicious!

Tip #1: Show Some Skin

Winter’s on the way out - at last! - and that means it's time to let your skin feel the sun again. For me, nothing's like showing some cleavage or wearing a short skirt to celebrate the coming of spring.

Same Blog, New Approach

As you may have noticed, I’ve been slacking off pretty badly in maintaining this blog in the last couple of months. In part, that was because I didn’t think the format was really cohesive, but also because I couldn’t keep up with it.

That’s why I’m now introducing a new approach to the Lingerie Blog, one that focuses on interesting tips on fashion, life, health, and fun. Stayed tuned for the new posts!
