Easy steps to improve your overall appearance

Step 1:
Take note of your posture--chances are you could improve it! By simply sitting and standing up straight you can appear five pounds thinner while improving your stomach and back muscle strength.

Step 2:
Take care of your mouth. Your smile is one of the first things people notice about you, and now it's easier than ever to make it better. Over-the-counter teeth whiteners, such as Crest WhiteStripes, can take years off of your smile. When you feel confident about your smile you're more likely to use it! Additionally, studies have shown that people who smile more on a regular basis appear happier and thus, more attractive.

Step 3:
Mind your skin. No matter what time of year, make sure to wash your face daily. Unless you have a severe skin issue, a mild, non-irritating cleanser should do. Additionally, make sure to keep your skin hydrated and moisturized.

Step 4:
Get adequate sleep. Lack of sleep can lead to shadows and bags under the eyes, bloodshot eyes, general poor skin and weight gain. It is called "beauty" sleep after all!

Step 5:
Drink plenty of water. Not only will this help with energy and weight maintenance or loss, but it also helps your skin appear supple.

Step 6:
Incorporate some form of exercise into your daily routine. The most immediate effects will be an increase in energy and a mood boost. Although not "physical," these effects will automatically make you appear happier and more refreshed. As you continue exercising, you will keep enhancing your appearance.

Step 7:
Get regularly schedule hair cuts. This will help maintain your hair health and appearance, which in turn will improve your mood!
