We all know that sexiness is a state of mind but applying the right shade of lipstick never hurts. Bring sexy back with these life-long rules that will enhance any wardrobe, makeup pallet or situation. Here are five things that can make you sexy instantly.

Being Sexy and Knowing It

Confidence is a girl’s best accessory and a lack of can really cramp your style. Confidence means being happy and comfortable with who you are and learning how to rock your personal style intuitively. Feeling confident is very different than feeling like you are better than others and sometimes it can be tricky to define the line between the two.

Being Open to New Experiences

Sometimes it’s a bit frightening to step outside of your comfort zone to try something new. We all have had that nagging voice in the back of our mind with the “what if” scenarios like, “What if I look like I don’t know what I am doing?”. Try swapping that negativity for a, “Who knows, I may learn something new” or, “I might just be good at it” attitude, which increases your openness to new experiences. Studies have shown that going into a new experience with a positive mindset, or with no expectations at all, can actually make the experience much more enjoyable.

Ditching the Toxic Stuff

Drama is like using really good skin care but having a bad diet. Sure we all have some drama in our lives but some of it could be monitored or even let go. Life can get demanding as it is and inviting toxic stuff in your life will only bring you down. Be selective with what you bring into your life because toxicity and drama can really weigh you down and prevent you from reaching your goals. Sexiness is success, so start an elimination diet for your life and surround yourself with positive, enriching people and experiences.

Me Time

Taking some time out for yourself should be prescribed to every woman. Me Time can be therapeutic, especially if you’re constantly on the go. Your time can be spent doing anything from pampering yourself, to a workout, to catching up on all your PVR recordings or even a nap! Investing in Me Time is an investment in yourself and allows you get balanced and ready to take on the world. There’s something sexy about investing time in yourself, others will see that and will want to invest time with you also.

You Don’t Take Life Too Seriously

Laughter is the best medicine and stressing is overrated. Life happens and it’s okay if everything doesn’t go as planned. Spontaneity forces you to jump outside of your box and experience something new. The sexy thing about spontaneity is how you react to something that may catch you off guard. Experiencing the unexpected (positive or negative) means that you react transparently to that particular situation which allows you to step outside of your box and others to view you as human.
