Better your posture.
Balance out your exercises and posture by working on your back as well to make your abs look slimmer. Lie facedown on the floor, arms extended above your head. Use your back to lift your arms and legs a few inches off the floor. Release, then repeat. (by MarieClaire.com
Work all of your ab muscles by lying on your back (knees bent, feet flat on the floor) and having a partner throw a medicine ball to you in different directions — straight at you, to your left, to your right. Catch the ball by moving only your torso and arms. Toss the ball back to your partner. DO: Two sets of 20 repetitions, two to three times a week. (by MarieClaire.com)
Smile. Just take a minute and smile to yourself. Smile because of those people who love you. The people who care the most about you. Smile because the sun shines just for you everyday. Smile because the stars give you something to wonder about, something to wish upon when things are not going your way. Smile because you are special. You have a unique view that other people may not understand but that makes you the great person that you are today. Smile because you can. Smile. :)
A great picture of a forest of trees growing underwater in autumn.
A gorgeous photograph with amazing reflections in the water. Love!
A bit eery, but beautiful contrast and character in this photograph simultaneously. Love it.
