Getting the perfect Brazilian butt is possible but it does require some work! That’s how Victoria Secret supermodel, Alessandra Ambrosio, gets her beautiful behind! And you can lift, tighten, and tone your booty too.

The secret is in the angles. Leandro Carvalho, the creator of the Brazil Butt Lift is a native of Brazil . He has helped sculpt some of the world’s most beautiful bodies, including those belonging to several of the world’s most successful lingerie and runway models. One of his mottos is: Don’t Settle For Less! With his Brazil Butt Lift, he will make you work, but it will be worth every second of sweat!

What makes the Brazil Butt Lift different from all the other workouts that promise to deliver a great butt? The secret is Leandro’s cutting-edge TriAngle Training technique. TriAngle Training works the three major muscles of the buttocks: The gluteous maximus, medius, and minimus, working them from countless angles to lift, firm, and shape the perfect behind.
So yes, Brides, you can give your husband (and yourself) the great gift of a Brazil Butt Lift on your honeymoon!

Flat fanny? Perk it up with Brazilian Butt Lift!

Pink Beauty Products

See how I'm giving back this year

**Hey friends-you are in good hands with Beach Body coach Ann Marie Richardson sharing with you the secrets to having a Victoria Secret model like bum. Enjoy! ***
All butts are not the same. Whether your butt is round, flat, wide, too big, or two small, Brazil Butt Lift sculpts every posterior to perfection!
First start with the “Pencil Test”. To see if your butt has enough lift, simply take a pencil and place it in the crease where your butt meets the top of the back of your thigh. If the pencil stays put or actually disappears, your butt lacks the lift that reduces that crease. The goal is to loose fat and firm your butt, so it’s lifted and the pencil falls to the floor. The Brazil Butt Lift DVDs unlock the secret to getting the “lift” you need.

What is your “butt type”?
1- TOO FLAT or SQUARE-

Problem: The Flat Fanny lacks shape and volume. Your straight shape extends from the waist to the thighs, with no curves in between.

Solution: In the Brazil Butt Lift workout follow the LIFT and SHAPE calendar. This program will help you shape and tone all the butt muscles for “volumizing results”. In just 30 days you will see dramatic results!

2- PEAR SHAPE-

Problem: You’re curvy, which is good, but a little too big below the hips and a little out of proportion. Larger hips and stubborn saddlebags that stick out to the sides give you a wide-angle silhouette.

Solution: The SLIM and SHAPE program with Brazil Butt Lift delivers the incredible combination of cardio and toning work. Leandro’s signature Brazilian dance moves will slim your bulges, while his toning workouts will shape the muscles underneath so your butt rounds out behind you, not to the sides.

3- TOO BIG-

Problem: The Bulging Behind, while round and full, it is too heavy and busts out in the wrong places. Usually flabby and dimply, this butt type is a little too much of a good thing.

Solution: You already have the volume, you just want to slim down and get a better shape. Follow the SLIM and LIFT plan to burn the fat and lean out the bulges. You’ll shape your butt in all the right places.

4- COMBINATION-

Problem: Can’t figure out which type of booty you have? Or maybe you have just a little bit of each booty type. All you need is to remove part of the fat and get some shapely toned muscle to add “oomph” to your backside.

Solution: Follow the CLASSIC program for ultimate booty-beautifying results. You’ll work everything in balance to create a beautiful butt!

Tomorrow we’ll talk about the angles. Working the butt from many different angles is the key to the perfect behind, it is called the TriAngle Training technique. No wonder Victoria ’s Secret supermodel, Alessandra Ambrosio, relies on the Brazil Butt Lift.

"Leandro is just the best trainer for my butt—and for my abs, and for everything else—but especially my butt! He came up with this whole workout just for my butt. He is the best." —Alessandra Ambrosio Supermodel

Hello sweet friends! For many of you summer is coming to an end, though here in Arizona we are in the middle of the monsoon season which means that it is extremely hot and extremely humid!
I am still out running and triathlon training in the heat but with that wee bit of humidity it sure can take the fun out of a ten mile run.

So with all that running, swimming and biking, I have alot of weird criss cross tan lines!

The lovely folks at Fake Bake sent me a sample of their self tanning products to help ease the maze of lines on me. Everything you need to get a great bronze toned self tan at home is shown.

Before I started spraying the moisture mist, I already exfoliated really good in the shower with a scrub and some mits!

Now, I hose myself down on the left leg, the one with the tattoos using the Mistifier Moisture Mist by Fake Bake. The night before I hosed my Kindergartner with it and he says it tickles!

I let it set a moment on my leg and I put on the
blue gloves and pumped out some product from the Xtreme Fake Bake self tanning gel.

Then I begin to rub it in. Now, my grip it and rip it personality did not read the instructions before applying. At least I got the exfoliating part down and done! Afterwards I was reading the instructions and you are supposed to start in a small area, with a little product and work in little circles until that area is absorbed and tanned, now repeat the process in a new area to be tanned.

Oh no, that is not what I did. I pumped out a glopful and started up and down the leg trying to

blend it in! The instructions say it won't streak and I believe that if you followed the instructions it won't. I have a wee bit of streak in mine, but then again, I didn't necessarily apply it like you are supposed to.

Well, live and learn I say!

Now, the brown color helps guide you as to where you have covered. Instructions say that some of that will come off in the shower, but remember, after self tanning when in the shower don't exfoliate but wash gently to help preserve your self tan. There is also a recommendation to do this at night so there is more time for the color to cure on your body. Yes, that's right, to cure; just like jerky.
Okay, here it is! Fake Bake Xtreme self tanner test at home by me: my left leg has one coat of the product and my right one does not.

What do you think? Does it look tan? Bronze? Is it reall looking to you?

You can learn more and get some Fake Bake for yourself at www.fakebake.com

Now something of note, this is a favorite among celebrities. So if it's workin' for them and they could buy anything, it jusy may work for you too!

p.s. Come back later today...I'm giving Dermacyte Oxygenating Eyecreme and serum away to help give you a back to school boost! Pssst! Single moms I'm talking to you!
