Hi Guys,

I receive lot’s of emails for tips on fitness shoots & Stage prep.

So here is how I got myself and my body ready for this Fitness Shoot I did a couple of months ago in Singapore with Blackwater Photography.

The day of the Photo shoot I drank little water maybe 1/2 litre were I usually would of had 2 litres at least by that afternoon, just to dry out a little-not to extreme and I cut down sodium for 48 hrs before to help with bloat and water retention.

Video On Pumping Back Muscles for Photos-Singapore Fitness Model

The Photographer Kin wanted a rear toned look, so for extra definition I applied a Jan Tana Glaze which gives my muscles a shine for added Separation and Definition, then to pump my Lats, Rhomboids and bring in my core I performed a set of Plank Single rows to get the blood flowing and muscles popping with 10kgs dumbbells

As you can see Fitness Shoots are very different than the Beauty Shoots where make up and hair is the focus we Bikini and Figure competitors have to get a sweat on to get our body rocking which of course is the main focus.

And here’s a great tip! My meal the night before was grilled chicken and asparagus, Asparagus is a great diuretic-again to cut out bloating! As if you ate Broccoli which is fantastic and full of Fibre BUT this will bloat your tummy a little bit more on the photos so better meal for after the shoot.

Rosy Glow Dior Blusher

I picked up this first Blusher with the new fresh colour technology at the duty free airport for $60 (SGD) on the way to Bali and it’s my new must have!

Dior Rosy Glow adapts and enhances to your own unique cheek colour for an ultra-natural and customized healthy Glow, 1 sweep gives me the Rosy flush I get from training in the day (but lasts longer   for the night time and a more vibrant look all I need to do is sweep the powder over twice to build up the pigments.

I even tested it on the dark stage make up I wear for competitions and it adapts even over the Jan Tana shade, which is very impressive as my last competition my mac blusher wasn’t showing and I was panicking plastering it on haha! But for me the best part of the adapting features, I no longer need to lug around 3 blushers when traveling anymore.

(Update-Finally it’s here!)

The Blackwell’s Wedding Video X

It was a truly magical day as the week running up to 11/11/11 it was constantly pouring and storming but right on the day the Sun broke out and blessed my amazing friends Paul Blackwell and his new wife Lanie Blackwell

Sorry it took this long but the quality was a challenge to edit as I only had my iPhone to film as a “friend” borrowed my camera then left it in a taxi -Cheers! lol!

(Original Post) My good Friends Paul & Lanie Blackwell had an amazing wedding held at a private villa on the coast in Seminyak, and this is what I wore for the hot day to hot dancing night, Ive received many comments as where I bought the shoes and co, so here it is as they are still available on their websites

Coming soon-Im in the middle of editing a video of the magical wedding and will post in the next few days! x

Another Religion impulse buy from my last trip to Bali, I can’t resist popping in to the main boutique every time I’m down in the buzzing Seminyak area.

All their Products come with labels stating every garment may be slightly different in sizes or customization as it’s not a mass produced product- Which I LOVE

I adore backless dresses and this cotton floor length is ideal for the hot island weather today at my brother Neils baby girl Isabelle’s christening to tonight’s dancing in Tenerife.

Picked this up today-while shopping for a long dress for a wedding here in Bali ( didnt find a dress) but love my new weapon
Religion is a great shop in Seminyak’s Jalan Oberoi full of funky Tshirts, dresses and accessories ranging from 200IDR only
