To apply your false nails, firstly prepare your natural nails, remove nail polish with an acetone based polish remover, cleanse and dry nails and gently push back cuticles.

Select an appropriately sized nail for each finger, spread a thin layer of glue onto your entire nail, hold the nail tip and place nail up to but not touching your cuticle and press nail firmly for approximately five seconds until bonded. File the free edge of the nail gently to achieve perfect results.

All nail sets will be available in large Tesco stores and online.

Despite stunning good looks, the teenager never believed she was attractive enough for the modelling world and she developed anorexia and bulimia at the age of 16 and the illnesses left her too tired to work. Unfortunately the lovely young girl lost her fight and died in her sleep at her grandmother’s house of suspected heart failure

According to her father ‘She would say she was fat but she was so beautiful – she didn’t realise how beautiful she was. She had up days and down days. It was like Jekyll and Hyde.

‘I tried to warn her that her organs would fail but she just said: “Don’t be silly”. If you mentioned food it would start an argument.’

I am sure, like myself, many women feel like this due to the media pressures to be so thin in order to be what they class as beautiful. They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all I can say is some of these media executives must have strange eyesight.

We have been trying to get a campaign to bring  size diversity to fashion – www.realbodiesunite.com. So why not add your signature and stop having beautiful young women falling foul to today’s representation of what is normal!!! This is ever more apparent with more and more women being at least size 16.

It is good to see that we are seeing more and more Models who are classed as Plus Size but even they are only a 12/14 – still not proper representation!

Our thoughts go out to the family of Bethaney and understand what an awful time this must be for all of them.

The stunning Naomi Shimada works Simply Be’s hottest additions including a fab 50s style car print dress and some chic monochrome blouses.

According to mancunian matters by Cara Quinn, states that this is not the image of an ill woman but a walking advertisement for the latest diet ‘fad’ that has taken America by storm.

They that the K-E diet has become increasingly popular with brides-to-be who are looking to shift the last few pounds before their wedding day.

The program has dieters inserting a feeding tube into their nose that runs to the stomach. They’re fed a constant slow drip of protein and fat, mixed with water, which contains zero carbohydrates and totals 800 calories a day.

Advocates of the diet claim that dieters can lose up to 20 pounds on the 10 day diet and it has been hailed by some doctors, such as Dr. Oliver Di Pietro, as a ‘hunger-free, effective way of dieting’, but are doctors selling out their patients’ health in order to make a quick buck?  With the hefty fee of $1,500 for the 10 day program, it certainly seems that way.

Is this sensible or someone trying to make money out of the anxiety of being the perfect bride to be!

Sounds quite revolting to us here at 100percentpeople. When I got married, many years ago, I didn’t even consider my weight, hubby was marry the woman who he fell in love with (ah!) not someone who would turn into another person by dieting.

What are your thoughts ? Would you go to these extremes???

It is quite expensive but if you do have the cash and fancy a week to sort your body out then this could be for you.

Champneys is delighted to introduce Boot Camp & Beyond, a 7 night Boot Camp followed by a six week Virtual Boot Camp, an online weight management programme in association with Ki Fit, the world’s most accurate body monitoring system. Guests taking part in a 7 night Boot Camp at any of the four Champneys resorts will now have the option to extend it into a 6 week online weight loss programme that will motivate and educate them about their body. The new programme, Boot Camp & Beyond will help guests stay motivated and successfully manage their weight loss in a positive, healthy way.

The Champneys Boot Camps are a dynamic experience with an average weight loss of 6.3 lbs and 4.5 inches. By the end of the week guests feel fitter, more energised and inspired to make positive lifestyle changes. However, Champneys has recognised that it is often difficult to maintain this healthy new lifestyle when guests go back to their daily routines which is why they have introduced the Boot Camp & Beyond programme.

Champneys Boot Camp & Beyond Programme

Boot Camp & Beyond gives guests the opportunity to build on their Boot Camp success with additional support and advice using Ki Fit technology. This technology offers guests an easy interactive way of monitoring the body. It helps users learn how to successfully manage and maintain continued weight loss, a healthy lifestyle and is proven to deliver 3 times better weight loss results.

Guests taking part in the Boot Camp & Beyond will be given a welcome pack for home use that will teach them how to input their food intake through the quick and simple online system and a Ki Fit armband to accurately read their activity levels, steps, calorie expenditure and sleep efficiency and patterns. With this 6 week Virtual Boot Camp programme guests will be able to monitor themselves in real time and receive personalised feedback reports from the Ki weight loss scientists who will be analysing the data. They also have access to weekly factsheets, daily health recipes, personalised tips via email and text message and weekly themed discussions. This advice will help them to optimise their weight loss using the Ki System and to understand the reasons behind the changes they are making, both to their diets and lifestyle. This understanding is vital for clients wanting to make sustainable changes that can be easily incorporated into their new lifestyle for the future.

The programme will reinforce and build upon the Boot Camp messages as they are applied in their individual environments and by using their bespoke Ki Fit data this will help to drive sustained behaviour change. The personalised nature of the feedback from Ki Fit means that each individual can take part at a level that suits them.

Champneys Boot Camp & Beyond programme is available from £1,490 per person. To book call Champneys on 0843 316 2222 or visit www.champneys.com

As the average American woman is a size 14-16, and most fashion runways seem to force-feed us the slim to waif image, it was apparent that the big-chain. stores didn’t relate to the “everyday woman”.
