I love brands like Fat Face, Billabong, Roxy etc. and the whole surfer look but I was wondering how to get that style in my bedroom? I've only got a tiny bedroom but I'm up for any suggestions - please add photos if you can.


Answer
I would definitely stay away from creating a too cheesy surfer room. For example, I was looking up some pictures for you and there were cheap grass skirts as the bedskirt for the bed and little tiny surfer lamps and stuffed monkeys and dolphins and stuff....cheesy. To make a gooood surfer room, I'd choose a bright color that you like for the walls or maybe two as in the picture provided below. The room below has lime green and orange but if you like other bright colors better, that'd be okay too. When you look for room examples like this, I always just use the picture as a shell and interchange my color preferences, etc. So paint the walls a bright color, I actually like the blue in the second picture provided for the walls. You'll want to keep white in your room too..the molding around the room, in the bedspread, maybe the bed frame, the dresser and anything you can really. Because you have a really bright wall, you need that white to offset it and make it more beachy and light. So chose your bedspread. There are plenty of bedspreads that are actually billabong and roxy beach spreads if you want that. You can also chose a hawaiian print theme, but I feel like that's borderline cheesy as well. If I were you, I would choose a full white bedspread in a light fabric. Choosing a completely white bedspread will also make the room and your bed feel and look bigger. It's really your preference though, as I know some people love the hawaiian print. I love the wicker in the first room provided. And I love how they painted it, but I also just love wicker plain. So if you're tight on cash or you just like the wicker not painted, just keep it like it is. Wicker just reminds me of outdoor furniture you'd have at a beach house though. I'm not sure what color your carpet is or if you have wood floors. It'd be ideal if you had wood flooring and then I'd add a straw beach mat as the rug at the foot of the bed or at the side of the bed, depending on the positioning of the bed. I'd get white lamps like the one in the first bedroom provided, the two inbetween the two beds on the nightstand. Again, I'm not sure how you are on money, but if you can afford it, I'd definitely splurge on a full sized surfboard to put somewhere in your room, behind a wicker chair or in a corner by itself. I'll provide a link to a cheaper board (in the world of surfboards it's considered very cheap.) I'd also get some beach themed decor. I like the word beach spelled out above the bed in the second picture. I also love the wood nightstand in the second bedroom, you can see the top slats of it, but I would paint it white. I was recently at Marshalls and they had extremely nice and sophisticated beach themed decor that could fill up probably two to three rooms. If you have a Marshalls by you, you should take a look there. Also, TJ Maxx. If not though, I'm sure you can find really cute beach stuff online. Even if you went to a craft store and bought a hurricane candle holder, a pillar candle, and sand and/or shells, that would be awesome to put on your nightstand. You could also buy a cheap starfish and shells online too to put around your room. The options are endless!! :) Here are all the links:

Things/Activities i can do to stay healthy and lose weight?




Maria


So, im a teenage girl, and i dont do any activities. Im not fat, but i would like to lose abit weight and stay healthy, and i wanna go to training/an activity, but i dont know where. I dont live in the biggest city ever, but i still have some opportunities. I dont like dancing and stuff, and im under 16 so i dont know if gym is possible for me ...


Answer
Weight loss is over 80% diet so exercise barely makes a difference. Its good for you yes but its not the main way to lose weight.

I have no idea how much you weigh and don't know how much you want to lose but you can lose up to 20 lbs in 2 weeks on the Smoothie Shakedown. It is not dangerous. You have 2 smoothies a day plus a solid meal. You have one or two snacks plus you drink a lot of water. If you don't lose the full 20 lbs in 2 weeks, you take a break for a week but eat healthy and don't binge. Then you do another 2 weeks. You repeat this cycle until you lose all of your weight. It is quite possible for you to lose 20-30 lbs in a month like this is you are super strict and do not cheat at all.

After you lose all of your weight, adopt a paleo/primal life. It is the easiest way to maintain weight without ever feeling deprived.

Yes you cut out grains and gluten, most sugar, heavy carbs but you will not miss them if you do it correctly and being slim and in shape will be worth it all. You can find a lot of delicious recipes on dessert and chow stalker plus if you just google paleo/primal versions of your favorite foods.

For exercise you don't need to join a gym. You can go on long walks and jogs and workout in your own bedroom or living room. There are so many great programs out there such as Physique 57, Ballet Body from Leah Sarago, Winsor Pilates, Insanity, Tonique, Cardio Barre, Pop Physique, Addicted to Sweat, Ballet Beautiful, Core Fusion, Zcut, Power Yoga with Rodney Yee etc... all of these give you full body workouts and these are just some of my favorites. There are many programs out there that you can find suited to your tastes if you take the time to look around online and read descriptions + reviews.

Good luck.
