10 Ways to Get Perky Boobs

10 Ways to Get Perky Boobs

As a woman, I can honestly say that I understand the fear of sagging breasts! I mean, whether one has DDs or AAs, I'm pretty sure no one likes the idea of their gorgeous bosoms becoming saggy and weepy looking... Naturally, with time, a little sagging is to be expected for everyone, especially if one's weight has yo-yo'd a lot, if one has done a good amount of breast feeding, rigorous exercise, etc., or if there are other underlying health conditions. BUT, a little sagging is different than a lot of sagging, and that my friends, is what we are here to prevent. Because there ARE ways to get and keep perkier breasts - and I am going to tell you what they are! Without further ado, here are ten ways to get perky boobs!

If we want to keep our awesome "bikini boobs,"
we have to continually work for them!


10 Ways to Get Perky Boobs

1. Drink More Water

Water is vital for humans to survive. Not only that, but water helps us to remove toxins from our bodies, reduces wrinkles and sagging, helps our bodies to run at full potential, and repairs skin cells, muscles, and connective tissues. All of these things are important when it comes to getting and maintaining perky boobs. To get more water daily, drink a glass right when you wake up, a glass at lunch time, and a glass right before bed. Also drink before, during, and after exercise, before dinner (to eat less), and carry a water bottle in order to drink water throughout the day.



2. Get 6-8 Hours of Sleep Consistently

Sleep is another very important part of good health for humans, and yet most humans do not get enough sleep. Sleep is also important for women who want to get and keep perky breasts. How much is enough? 
Six to eight hours of sleep consistently is all you need! The consistent sleep will allow your body the time it needs to heal and repair each night and it will also help to give you the energy you'll need to function each day at optimal levels. 

If you have a hard time sleeping, doing something calming like listening to soothing music, meditating, reading, doing light stretches, taking a long bath, or making use of aromatherapy could really make a difference. Try lavender and chamomile for a soothing, sleep-inducing scent.



3. Eat More Fruits and Vegetables

Fruits and vegetables are staples of a healthy diet, but they can also make a big difference when it comes to getting and keeping perky boobs. Certain vegetables and fruits contain nutrients and antioxidants that help with skin cells, tissues, muscles, etc. The best bets for the best breasts are dark leafy green vegetables like spinach, kale, collard greens, etc. and antioxidant rich fruit like blueberries and pomegranates.

4. Eat More Nuts and Seeds

Nuts and seeds are super important when it comes to getting and keeping perky boobs! Nuts and seeds have protein and biotin which both help with skin cell production. They also contain vitamin E to protect from damage and important minerals that support structure and elasticity.  Some great ones to try are cashews, pistachios, almonds, flaxseeds, sunflower seeds.

Nuts and seeds will keep ya from having saggy C's!

5. Eat More Fatty Fish

Much like nuts and seeds, fatty fish is full of protein, vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty oils that help to keep skin, muscles, and tissues healthy.  Fatty fish also helps to chisel inches off the waistline and core, adding more definition to the areas surrounding the breasts, which helps them to appear bigger and perkier as well. Your two best bets for fatty fish when it comes to helping out your boobies are salmon and mackerel. Time to go fishing!

Salmon is a great fatty fish for getting and keeping those perky boobs!

6. Improve Your Posture and Strengthen Your Core

Going from being hunched over and weak to sitting and standing tall and strong automatically makes your breasts look perkier (not to mention that it automatically makes one look thinner too!) But pretending to have good posture and actually HAVING good posture are two different things; and the latter takes a bit of time and work. One has to be aware of how they are sitting and standing throughout the day, every day. This could be exhausting... but there are ways to help to make it a little easier. Pilates, Yoga, balance balls, and meditation ALL help with balance and posture, as well as with strengthening the core muscles (which in turn ALSO helps posture), so if you practice any or all of these things, the act of good posture will become more natural and you won't have to think about it so much.  And your boobs will look awesome!



7. Use a Good Lotion

The truth is, if you drink a lot of water, you don't really need a lot of lotion. But from time to time, even the most hydrated people need a little extra skin hydration, and that is where the lotion comes in. The best bets for lotion for the chest and breast area would be lotions that include shea butter, cocoa butter, vitamin E, coconut oil, and/or aloe.



8. Do Chest Flies

Chest exercises are a big part of keeping bouncing, bountiful bosoms, and the best exercises, in my personal opinion, are chest flies! I do my chest flies lying on my back on the floor with hand weights, but you can also use a bench, machines, and/or larger or heavier weights. Incorporating chest flies, which are simple yet effective, into your regular fitness routine will really help you to get and keep perkier boobs.



9. Do Push-ups and Pec-ups

Push-ups and Pec-ups are great chest exercises that can really help to keep breasts looking fuller and perkier. Push-ups you probably already know, but if not, here is how to do a push-up:


Then there are Pec-ups, which are upside down Push-ups using weights. They look a little like this:

Incorporating these chest building moves into your fitness routine can really help to keep those boobies looking perky for you.

10. Put Clapping to Good Use

The motion of clapping (or air clapping if you don't want to make noise) can really help to keep your boobs looking perkier. Be sure that whenever you clap, for an event, concert, speaker, etc., that you are making a conscious effort to truly engage the muscles in your arms, chest, and back if you really want the boob-tacular benefits. Also, clap more often. Clap along to songs, clap during commercial breaks, etc. It is the easiest thing to do on this whole list, so there is really no excuse to NOT do it! Clap already!

And give yourself a round of applause!!!


And that's all, folks!

Well, there we have it. Ten ways to get perky boobs. I hope that my ideas can help you all if you were feeling worried about a little sag.  Just remember, that before you make any major changes to your diet or fitness program, you should always speak with your doctor to be on the safe side.

Best of luck on those beautiful boobies!!!


Peace and Love,

25 Foods that Provide Healthy Fats

25 Foods that Provide Healthy Fats



Forget "Low Fat." Let's talk Healthy Fats!

What ARE healthy fats exactly? Well, healthy fats are fats that our bodies need and thrive on. Healthy fats help lower LDL cholesterol (the bad kind) and help raise HDL cholesterol (the good kind.) Healthy fats, such as Omega-3s, can also help reduce inflammation, protect blood vessels, aid in weight loss, and provide protection against heart disease and stroke. What else can healthy fats do? Well, they can help cleanse the body of toxins, keep you fuller longer, and fuel the body for a top notch workout!

Healthy fats are mostly known as monosaturated fats, plant sterol or stanol esters, polyunsaturated fats, and Omega-3 fats, fatty acids, or oils. 

So, how do we get these healthy fats in us on a daily basis without overdoing it? We eat the healthy fats that give us the best results. With that in mind, I give you 25 of the best foods to eat in order to get those essential, beneficial, healthy fats into your life!


25 Foods that Provide Healthy Fats


1. Pistachios
2. Avocados
3. Almonds
4. Olive Oil
5. Sunflower Seeds
6. Pecans
7. Salmon
8. Flaxseed Oil
9. Olives
10. Tuna
11. Sardines
12. Soybean Oil
13. Peanut Butter
14. Trout
15. Eggs
16. Cashews
17. Almond Butter
18. Spinach
19. Chia Seeds
20. Mackerel
21. Dark Chocolate
22. Cheese (full fat)
23. Sour Cream (full fat)
24. Pumpkin Seeds
25. Coconut Oil


RUNNER UP: Butter

Though butter is not the healthiest fat around, when combined with cooked vegetables, butter can actually help the body to absorb more vital nutrients from the veggies as opposed to eating the vegetables alone. 



I hope you enjoyed my list of healthy fats. Before I go, I want to warn you a bit about the "not so healthy fats." These fats are mostly known as saturated fats, trans fats, and partially hydrogenated oils.  They do appear in some of the foods on this list (most notably in sour cream and coconut oil) but they are combined with the other, healthier fats, so it isn't a big deal. In fact, one may eat some saturated fat and trans fat daily and still be healthy; it's when we get far too much of these unhealthy fats that we run into problems and put ourselves at higher risk for heart disease and stroke.

So where are all these unhealthy fats hiding? 
In snack foods, dips, margarine, processed food, fried food, fast food, bacon, shortening, red meat, whole milk products, lard, palm oil, and cake to name a few...



So make sure to read labels, avoid too much food that's full of the "unhealthy fats," and make use of this list of healthy fats I've written here. Do that, and you should be doing great!



As always, be sure to talk with a doctor before making any serious alterations to your daily diet.

Peace and Love,
