Diet and Exercise

The countdown starts now for prom. If you are looking to shed a few pounds, make sure you do it the right way. I've seen too many times, girls coming in and passing out, because they were starving themselves to loose weight for prom. First of all, that is the most unhealthy thing to do to your body. Second, if you try to loose weight like that now, you will not be able to keep it off, and most likely will gain it back (and then some extra).

Don't starve yourself. Start by eating more times a day, but much smaller portions. Breakfast...snack...Lunch...snack...Dinner...snack. Small healthier choices (you know what I mean) If you want to have a cookie, go ahead, just don't eat the whole sleeve. Diet doesn't mean to starve yourself, and eat salad all day. A good diet, is a variety of foods, several times a day, and normal/small portions. Also what helps is to have a full glass of water before each meal/snack. This way you will feel more satisfied and full.

As far as exercise, just do something everyday. Set 30 minutes a day to yourself. You don't need to run a marathon, or join a gym (unless you like that) to exercise. Don't jump into a heavy work out schedule, just start slow. If you're not doing anything now, just start doing something! Go for a walk. Blast the music on in your room and dance! Go ice skating, skiing, biking, swimming (all depending on what's available) with your friends. Grab a hoola hoop and watch tv. So many people have these electronic games, like Wii or Xbox. Purchase exercise or dance games. Have fun and just MOVE!!!!

Finally, a few days before your big day arrives, stay away from salt and extra carbs (breads & pasta). This will help you to "depuff" your body. Also keep drinking plenty of water.

I hope you found this information helpful. Now is the time to start. Take a little time each day to take care of yourself, and eat right. This way you will have a healthy and happy prom you will remember for years!

(Before starting any strenuous exercise, or diets, you may want to consult your physician to see if these exercises/diets are right for you. Your doctor may offer some additional tips on losing weight and/or overall health.)

Simple things you can do to glam up your look for the holidays, formals, or your prom!

Besides having the perfect holiday dress, formal dress or prom dress, there are other things you can do to glam up your entire look. Make up is always a plus. When you want to stand out on your special night, make sure your makeup is fresh, and sparkly. Smokey eyes are all the rave for a sexy evening look, but to change it up, try creating a more natural eye, then top it off with glossy cherry lips! Want to make a dramatic eye without all the shadow? Try false eyelashes! You can find them anywhere, even in your local pharmacy. For great make up ideas and tutorials check out YouTube! You would be amazed how easy it is to look glamorous.

Want to have that studded sparkly purse without having to pay the high price? Dig through your closet to find an old clutch. Or you can purchase one very inexpensive at your local Target or Walmart. Purchase some stick on Rhinestones, and vuala! You have a hot, stylish, and expensive looking clutch for your night out for just pennies.

Big and chunky jewels are in! If you want to wear a chunky necklace keep your earrings more toned down. like a single large stone stud. If you would rather wear big, long stunning earrings, keep your neckline clean, and maybe add a nice body glitter around your neckline and shoulders. Fashion bangles, and lots of them, are in style and hot! Want to add a little more bling to yourself? Try Tattoo Jewelry! Yes, all the glam and glitter but in temporary tattoos!

When it comes to your hair, don't be afraid to try something new. From retro styles to the classic pony tail. You too can have a glam style perfect for your day. Check out all the latest styles browsing through magazines, then go on YouTube for tutorials to show you, how you and your friends can create those looks.

We hope you enjoyed some of Magic Moments' tips on looking glam for your special day. Inventory is arriving daily and this years dresses are just fabulous! Stop in and shop in our beautiful boutique, or shop on line at www.magicmomentsprom.com and www.magicmomentscollections.com

Best place to shop for your 2011 Prom Dress

Want to visit the best place in NY to shop for your Prom Dress? Come to our beautiful boutique located in New York, Long Island. Here you will find the best selection of dresses. Let our wonderful staff help you find that perfect dress for your special night. We also keep a school prom registery so we do not sell the same dress to someone else going to your prom.

If you are unable to visit us in our New York store, please order on our website www.magicmomentsprom.com Be sure to take your measurements and compare them with the size charts provided to make sure you are purchasing the correct size. Special Occasion Dresses tend to run a little smaller than street clothes. You can be one size in one designer and another size in a different designer. This is especially important since you will not be able to try on the dresses. If you are not comfortable taking your own measurements, go to your nearest cleaners. Usually they have a seamstress on staff, and they are more than happy to take your measurements for free.
If you have any questions our wonderful Customer Service staff is here to answer your questions everyday. Like said previously, keep checking our Facebook pages, so when we post the 2011 styles for a specific designer, we will let you know. Magic Moments loves our prom girls.

The Perfect Prom Dress for 2011

Prom season 2011 is almost here, which means there are a lot of new and very hot 2011 prom dress trends debuting this season. Now is the time in which the hunt for the “dress to end all dresses” starts. Luckily, there are many colors, prints, designs and styles for you to decide upon when finding that perfect dress. Great prom dress designers, such as Tony Bowls, Jovani, Mori Lee, Clarisse, Crush, Atira and many others offer the hottest trends to choose from.

You do not pick a prom dress solely on the latest style or fashion. Your prom dress should be as unique as you. Whether you are going to the Junior or Senior Prom for the first time, or ready to make that lasting impression on your friends, we are here to help you. It’s all about being you, and letting your own unique personality shine through. The prom dress collection of 2011 is unlike any other, full of style, and unique designs.

When deciding on color, there are so many to choose from. This year prom dresses 2011 seems to be more bright popping colors, like bright pink, purple, and blues. Black and White will always be in style, but White is this years fashion forward color!

Ball Gowns are a HOT trend this year, and printed ball gowns with tulle overlay are all the rage. Hi-low hemlines especially with the ruffle layers are very popular too. A lot of prom dress designers have also created a new trend called the Overskirt. It's a pull off/removable long skirt, leaving it a short dress. What a great idea! Not to mention hot and sexy! Some details that are becoming more popular for prom trends 2011 are feathers! Yes feathers! Rhinestones are always popular with prom dresses, but big chunky stones will be hot this season, on both dresses, and jewelry. Beautiful hand painted prints, make these formal dresses stand out, as well as big floral rosette appliqués. Big Bows, Taffeta, Layers and Pleated gowns are big this year too. Just remember to choose what you love, and show off your personality.

The cut and shape of the dress you choose will all depend on your body shape. Choose a dress that flatters your figure, and accents your positive features. If you have a little more weight in the hips and belly; do not buy a dress that fits tight across the midriff and buttocks, like the mermaid cut. Choose either an empire waist, and/or an a-line style cut. If you need to minimize your bust, choose a halter neck design, which is great for toning down that fuller bust, plus gives you plenty of support. Corset style dresses work well with full busts also to ensure comfort and a customized fit. Any dress with ruching in the mid section is great for smoothing over any imperfections, and gives the illusion of a slimmer waistline.

What ever dress you choose, the number one rule you should always abide by is, never buy a dress that is too small. It will make you appear larger than you are. You want a form fitting, but not a tight dress. Always compare your measurements to the size charts the dress designers supply to insure you are ordering the correct size; and order the dress size according to your largest measurement. Then have the dress altered to create a pleasing fit. You will feel comfortable and beautiful on your special day.
