Have you ever wondered why a gorgeous haircut that looks great on someone else just doesn't work for you? Well, hairstyles are about shape and geometry or putting the right frame around someone's face to balance and bring perspective to the shape of their faces. That is why haircuts must hide or minimize non pleasant attributes and highlight favourable ones.

A general rule is that you should try to achieve an oval face, which is the most pleasant to the human eye. Therefore, long faces need shortening and and wide faces need lengthening.

To find the best haircut for your face shape, the first step is to discover what is the shape of your face. So, take a picture of yourself. Hold the camera right in front of your face and take a snapshot. Don't smile while the picture is being taken so you can see the shape of your face in its most natural pose.

Examine your picture and decide which is your face shape: oval face shape, round face shape, square face shape, heart face shape, triangular face shape, diamond face shape or oblong face shape.

These are the options for straight face: If you have a round face, you might want to go for a shoulder-dusting cut with long layers to elongate your face. To enhance cheekbones, get strong, straight-across bangs. If you have a square face, get a shoulder-length cut with layers from chin to collarbone in order to soften a strong jaw. To hide a wide forehead, get sideswept bands. If you have an oval face, get layers that start just below the eyes to make your face look fuller.

For wave or curly hair: if you have a round face, length can be midneck to midback; however, you must always get long layers to counteract a pyramid effect. If you have a square face, get layers angled from ears to end. If you have a heart face, get a collarbone-length cut, as the waves are full around the shoulders to balance the forehead's width. A cut that skims your shoulders plays up curls, a side part enhances cheekbones. 8

If you want to wear a bathing suit or bikini, cellulite seems like the most unwanted enemy of them all. Luckily, there are many ways to fight off cellulite:

1. Water is your greatest ally in the battle against cellulite. Drink at least two liters of liquid a day, which can be distributed between eight glasses of water a day and the rest can be herbal teas or natural juices. The water will help the kidneys perform effective as well as the circulatory system and it helps the fiber to have an effect on your body.

2. Find an anti-cellulite cream that contains caffeine. Among other benefits, this will boost the levels of energy in the cells, causing to tone up your skin.

While it would be ideal to get a professional masseur to treat the affected area, you can also opt for an electric cellulite massager.

4. Avoid sodium consumption. Try to lower your salt intake as well the consumption of ready meals and canned food. Instead of using salt - which favors liquid retention- to season your food, opt for aromatic herbs or vegetables such as onion and garlic.

5. Alcoholic beverages cause liquid retention and subsequently cellulite. Therefore, you must avoid them if you want to fight off cellulite.

6. Quit smoking or avoid it. Tobacco is one of the main causes of the premature aging of the skin, leaving it dry, dull and lifeless. Besides, smoking obstructs an optimal blood flow.

10. Start training. Sports, preferably cardiovascular activities. will help you sweat, burn fat and get rid of cellulite. Swimming is one of the best sports to achieve the best results as it helps tone up your body at the same time it boosts blood flow.

Recent Disney productions Frozen and Tangled shows the evolution of princesses, princes , themes and the plot of these films.

The first Disney films showed princesses as extremely beautiful and fragile creatures that needed to be rescued by a charming prince. Usually, these princesses gained enemies due to their beauty and attributes, causing envy among others.

Even thought these stories were based on classic children stories by Hans Christian Andersen and the Brothers Grimm, the storyline was adapted to serve Disney's moral themes and happy endings: good triumphs over evil and love conquers all.

Despite the factor that might trigger the plot, princesses were these helpless beautiful creatures that were threatened by these evil characters and saved by this handsome charming prince.

Today, princesses are not portrayed as helpless. They actually have strong personalities. Take Rapuntsel, for instance, in Tangled. The character has dreams of her own, other than falling in love like Sleeping Beauty. Besides, Rapuntsel is brave enough to fight for those dreams, and doesn't sit around singing about how her prince will come someday, like Snow White. However, this rewriting of the story is a bold adaptation from the original German fairytale by the Brothers Grimm which the Disney film is based on.

Tangled also shows the evolution of the prince. In the original story, her love interest was indeed a prince. In the case of the film, her true love is a rascal who doesn't fall in love with her at first sight - like most princes do - but instead he helps her just to fulfill his own selfish objectives.

In Frozen (spoiler alert) the prince turns out to be the evil character and it's the rude boy Ana meets on her way to find her sister the person who turns out to be her true love. They also change the concept of "an act of true love". Instead of being a kiss, it can be an act of sacrifice by a family member like a sister.

It is in the process of spending time together that they main characters fall in love, as opposed to love at first sight. As you listen to their conversations, you can actually see the chemistry of the characters on screen. In Sleeping Beauty, both main characters get to know each other by talking about their mutual love, devoid of any real getting to each other.

In the new films, the main characters are bold and defiant. Jasmine from Aladdin rebels against her father because she does not want to get married. Belle from Beauty and the Beast doesn't sit around waiting for her prince. Instead, she is smart and sings about reading and gaining knowledge.

Even though Disney is faithful to their happy endings and the goodness of their characters, it is refreshing to new values. While beauty and romantic love were the center of Disney films, now friendship and family are taking a more vital role.

"I don't like fancy food at all. I much prefer an extremely simple meal that's exquisitely done... A perfectly cooked steak, a beautiful salad, some raspberries" - Audrey Hepburn.

Many people wonder how celebrities manage to have such fabulous figures. While some follow a strict diet, some are addicted to doing exercise, while others are naturally fit.

Some diets become popular from time to time as recommended by celebrities. For instance, the Cabbage Soup Diet of the 1980s, the early 2000s Atkins low carb approach once favoured by Renée Zellweger and Sara Jessica Parker, and the Zone, a 1990s favourite that has recently become popular again thanks to Jennifer Aniston and Cindy Crawford, who follow its rules of different rations of food eaten in measured amounts to regulate the body's production of insulin.

Apparently, most celebrities follow their own diets, so here are some tips you might find useful:

Drew Barrymore: "I just think you should eat less of everything. A little bit less. I don't want to live a life where you can't have what you want; it just makes you want it more."

Jessica Alba: "High blood pressure and cholesterol run in my family. From a young age, I knew that most people with problems that go along with these conditions can be fixed through diet and exercise. I altered my diet by eating lean protein, like chicken or fish, and lots of fruits and veggies. During the day I'll have some dried fruit, or a chocolate or strawberry frozen yogurt, but I try to steer clear of desserts and bread."

Angelina Jolie follows the Upside-Down Diet. She eats a gigantic breakfast, a small lunch and an even smaller dinner washed down with two litters of ice cold water to speed up your metabolism.

Miriam Hopkins banned fried food, spices and tarts, at the same time she stuck to three pet don'ts: Don't overeat, oversleep, or oversit.

Kate Moss found success in the holistic detox diet. She lost eight pounds in 21 days by eating only from a constricted list of foods including red meat, nuts and tea. One of the secrets of this method is to chew food 10 times before swallowing to speed digestion.

Catherine Zeta-Jones doesn't eat carbs after five o' clock and hasn't eaten chips since she was 14.

Charlize Theron revealed, "Barbecue is a big part of my life. For breakfast, steak and eggs. But I will not mix sugar and salt like the American breakfast of pancakes, eggs and bacon."

If there is a TV show that has influenced women near and far, that is Sex and the City. Not only in terms of dating, but also in fashion, careers, lifestyle and friendship.

The influence of Sex and the City has been so astonishing that in 2009 The Guardian named Carrie Bradshaw as an icon of the decade, claiming that she "did as much to shift the culture around certain women's issues as real-life female groundbreakers."

This fabulous TV show is based on a ground-breaking book with the same titled written by Candace Bushnell.

What makes this such an interesting book is that it is based on real facts and real women. Indeed, Sex and the City is a collection of essays by Candace Bushnell based on her and her friends' lifestyles. Like the TV show hinted, the "Sex and the City" book is an anthology of columns that Bushnell began writing in 1994 for The New York Observer. Another interesting fact is that Candace Bushnell was a regular at 1970s New York dish fleshpot Studio 54.

The book "Sex and the City" may have been first published back in 1997 but its words live on as well as its characters. Indeed, many women refer to themselves as being a Samantha, a Miranda, a Charlotte or a Carrie.

Some women travel to New York to follow take the "Sex and the City" tour and visit all the places where the filming took place. Some others immerse themselves in the characters and get a Cosmopolitan cocktail when they go out.

But that's only the start. Many people learnt about shoes by watching the shoes. That explains how expensive shoes like Manolos became know by everyone. Most women took fashion tips from these wonderful characters, who dressed according to their personality.

To honor this amazing story, here are some quotes from its characters:

"The fact is, sometimes it's really hard to walk in a single woman's shoes. That's why we need really special ones now and then to make the walk a little more fun" - Carrie

"The Universe may not always play fair but it least it's got a hell sense of humor."

"Oh my God! Do you know what these are? Manolo Blahnik Mary James! I thought these were an urban shoe myth!"

"I'm not sure bisexuality exists. I think it's just a layover on the way to Gay Town."

"When I first moved to New York and I was totally broke, sometimes I would buy Vogue instead of Dinner. I felt it fed me more."

"Beauty is fleeting, but a rent-controlled apartment overlooking the park is forever."

"I'm looking for love. Real love. Ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can't-live-without-each-other love."

And one last quote that should influence women far and wide: "Being single used to mean that nobody wanter you. Now it means you're pretty sexy and you're taking your time deciding how you want your life to be and who you want to spend it with."

A slow metabolism is very common among people past their teenage years and it can make it really difficult to lose weight and extremely easy to gain weight. Besides, a slow metabolism can you tire out easily so you don't enjoy life to the fullest. Fortunately, you can easily boost your metabolism naturally and you can find easy ways to do this below:

1. Early morning intense exercise: a short burst of intense exercise after just waking up is an excellent way to speed up your metabolism. And the best part is that you only need five minutes of intense exercise. Either running in place, jumping jacks or lunges will do trick. Also, if you have a stair master or a jogging machine, that is perfect as well. Get your heart rate up for five minutes and cool down for two minutes.

2. Drink lots of water: drinking more than 2 litres of water a day will not only cleanse your body but it will also boost your metabolism because the metabolic process needs water for fuel it. To get the best results, drink alkaline water.

3. Eat more spicy foods: Indian cuisine had it right... Hot spices like curry, cayenne pepper, black pepper, cumin, and turmeric all help the body speed up your metabolism. There are also other hot spices that won't strike you as such but they have that effect on the body. These include cinnamon, cardamon, ginger and nutmeg. These spices can be added to different dishes, including soups, stir-fries, casseroles, among others. A great combination is cinnamon an coffee. Just add it before you brew it.

4. Take care of your thyroid. This gland needs certain minerals such as selenium, zinc, copper, and iodine to work efficiently. You can get such minerals from seafoods and nuts.

5. Don't skip breakfast. Many people skip this very important meal of the day due to their fast-paced lifestyle or their lack of appetite when they wake up. However, your metabolism needs a healthy breakfast to perform efficiently during the day. That is why it is a good idea to have some healthy protein like eggs and fruit bursting with antioxidants like blueberries and strawberries in the morning.

6. Eat less late in the day. It is not recommended to have a big meal for dinner nor snacking at night before bedtime if you want to speed up your metabolism. Follow the pyramid diet: eat more earlier in the day and less at dinner.

7. Get your omega-3's. Eating great amounts of food rich in omega-3 fatty acids such as salmon, herring and tuna can help boost your metabolism since omega-3s balance blood sugar and reduce inflammation, helping to regulate metabolism. They may also reduce resistance to the hormone leptin, which researchers have linked to how fast fat is burned.

8. Make some muscles. This rule is not only for body builders, but for everyone. In fact, muscle uses more energy than fat. After months of strength-training, your resting metabolism will burn more calories
