The Cute Yoga Clothes You Need to Embrace 

If you have been on Twitter, you would know people are talking about feminine urges. The urge to work out, but it sounds so masculine. For this reason, many women are now opting for yoga because it seems more feminine and something that aligns with their interests. What we love about this is that women are at least focusing on improving themselves. 

Yoga is a great way of improving your gut health. Many people don’t know this, but it can help improve flexibility, balance, and strength. This is because yoga has deep breathing, which warms up the muscles and enhances the blood flow. For this reason, it’s a positive change in women because they are finally holding the poses they like.

So, if you want to start doing yoga as well but don’t have the right yoga sets to motivate you, you are at the right place. That’s because we are sharing some of the cutest clothes that you’ll ever come across. Also, all of them are available at Cosmolle, so easy shopping!

AirWear Long Sleeve & High-Waist Legging Set

One cannot beat having an all-black legging set with a matching top in their yoga wardrobe. In fact, this set is made from a buttery fabric that feels like you aren’t wearing anything extra. It has a unique texture that keeps you dry even when the yoga becomes intense and you start drenching. Overall, the fabric is very breathable and has the stretch to let you do different poses. 

The set doesn’t have any seams, making your appearance smooth. Also, there are no camel toes. The legging has been integrated with a ruched seam that helps lift up the butt. Going to the top, there is a scooped neckline, so you can show off the collarbone without showing too much of the breasts.  

The best part is that the top comes with thumb holes. These thumbholes will ensure that your sleeves don’t move while working out. In addition, they prevent slipping of the sleeves. Last but not least, there are edge-bonded panels on this set, so your comfort isn’t disturbed at all.

Move Free Bra& Bike Short Set with Pockets

In case you aren’t a fan of leggings, we absolutely love this shorts set. It comes with a sports bra, so you don’t have to mix and match. To begin with, the shorts are designed with pockets, making it easier to keep the phone and keys around (it’s a blessing for forgetful women, right?). In addition, they have used a high-stretch fabric, so the poses will be easy to follow. 

There is a hip-peach design on the shorts, so your figure will have a flattering effect. For this reason, you can use this set for yoga as well as regular exercises. The clothes feel weightless, and you get the fold-over waistband, making it a sexy option as well. On top of everything, if you want to bid farewell to skin irritation, this set will help because there are no rise seams. 

On a concluding note, this set is made from a combination of spandex and nylon. It’s not only an eco-friendly option but also durable. Also, there is no need to worry about rashes anymore!

Ultimate Contour Bra & 8-in-1 Happy Butt Solution Leggings Set

If you’ve been looking for long sleeve legging set, we say go for this. The top might not have the long sleeves, but the support and contouring it offers are beyond your imagination. We don’t mind saying that this set has been designed with innovation in mind. That’s because Cosmolle has used a combination of lycra and nylon, so it’s durable and eco-friendly. 

The leggings have a squat-proof design, which means it’s perfect for yoga as well as other intense workout sessions. There is no front rise seam, making the appearance uniform. In addition, the clothes have a sculpting and smoothing effect, so your body looks toned. The best thing is that it has underwear stitched already, and it has an antimicrobial lining as well. 

The leggings are designed with a wide waistband, so your waist looks slimmed down. In addition, there is a compression lining. Last but not least, the support bra has a top design with a curved hem, so you will look sexy and will be able to show off the abs.

Bra and Shorts Ribbed Seamless Activewear Set

If you need something that lets you be on the way for your quick yoga sessions other than high waisted leggings, this shorts set is the right choice. This is ideal because it helps lift up the butt and control the tummy. In simpler words, you will be able to control and conceal the tummy rolls. In addition, it helps trim the thigh area because of the compression effect. 

Cosmolle is using recycled nylon for this set, so you are saving the world. As far as the bra is concerned, there is a push-up effect. For this reason, we recommend this set for light-impact workouts, such as yoga, only. Both the shorts and bra offer a breathable and comfortable fit. Also, there are wide straps, so women with bigger breasts can feel the ample support as well. 

Last but not least, we love how this set will help distribute the pressure. To illustrate, no part of your body will feel too much pressure.

Premium Seamless Ribbed Short Set

There's hardly anything that we love more than bright and hot pink colour, so it was impossible that we wouldn't add this set to the list. As you can see, this set looks extremely cute yet sexy - it does tick all the boxes. The set comes with shorts and these shorts are designed with a crossover waistband. This waistband helps ensure the appearance of slim waist and it will cover the pooch and tummy rolls easily.

Staying on Track - 4 tips to for maintaining your Fitness Journey

When the new year rolls around, it’s really easy to have that motivation to go to the gym and get back in shape. Unfortunately, the novelty of this soon wears off and by the end of January, you’re back where you started. If this sounds like you and you’re finding it hard to get the motivation to get back into it, then keep reading for some great tips on how to stay on track come the new year.

Write down reminders of why you’re doing it

A great way to stay on track is by taking the time to write down little reminders of why you want to get in shape. Is it because you’ve been feeling sluggish? Or perhaps it’s because you’ve got a big holiday next year and want to feel good in a bikini? Whatever your reasons, you may have days where you simply can’t be bothered. That’s where these reminders come into play. Leaving them in strategic places such as on your fridge, next to your bed, or even by the phone will help remind you why you wanted to do this in the first place. Hopefully, it will give you the push you need to pop in that workout DVD and get going.

Sign up for a challenge

Most people tend to put in more effort if they don’t want to let themselves or someone else down, and this can easily be achieved if you sign yourself up for a challenge. Why not look into doing something that raises money for a good cause to give you extra motivation? Even if you’re really out of shape, you can use a personal trainer to help push you towards that goal. The great thing about these kinds of challenges is that you don’t have to do it alone and once you have completed it, you’ll be fitter, stronger, and you’ll have helped a great cause.

Find an exercise you enjoy

10k runs aren’t for everyone, and if running, jogging, or training at the gym isn’t for you, then you need to find an exercise that you do enjoy. This could be taking part in a team sport at the weekends, or you might find some time alone swimming laps first thing in the morning is exactly what you need to get your day going. The sooner you can find an activity you enjoy, the sooner you can dedicate yourself to it and start seeing progress.

Don’t do it alone

Exercising can be very lonely, and if you’re self conscious to begin with, you might give up and go home. Find a friend, family member or co-worker to take this journey with you. It doesn’t matter if you’re at different fitness levels either - it’s about giving each other motivation and reminding each other why you’re doing it. You may even find that you make friends along the way when taking part in group sports or visiting the gym. You can never have too many people around you egging you on to achieve exactly what you want to.

Take Better Care of your Health and Beauty for Less.

{Collaborative content} It need not be expensive to maintain our physical and mental health. After prioritizing our health, we should focus on improving our feelings because doing so can boost our confidence.

Only invest your money in the best cosmetic treatments.

Make sure to only invest in the best beauty treatments if there are any you simply cannot live without.

As an illustration, eyelash extensions might be your preferred cosmetic procedure because they boost your confidence and physical appearance. If this is the case, make sure to spend money on a lash artist who employs the right technique in order to get the best results and long-lasting lashes and to avoid wasting your money. 

It is best to find an expert who uses lash pre treatment products. These will increase the durability of your extensions, allowing you to get the most value for your money and get better-looking results.

Maintaining an all-year-round balanced, healthy lifestyle.

Our health and how we feel will be impacted by the way we live. Usually, when we engage in bad habits on a regular basis, it can affect both our health and appearance.

By eating a balanced diet, working out frequently, and avoiding unhealthy lifestyle choices, we can achieve and maintain good health and feel our best.

Eating a nutritious, balanced diet rich in fiber, healthy fats, lean protein, and beneficial carbohydrates is essential for maintaining good health. Another thing you should try to do is keep a regular exercise schedule in order to improve your health and confidence. If you do not like working out, make sure to walk more and look for an activity you like doing instead; this will keep you motivated and support good health.

Spend more time sleeping each night to feel more energized and healthier.

Another simple way to improve your health and beauty is to get more sleep. Whether you have a large family, a successful business, or simply have trouble falling asleep, you should prioritize sleep and make an effort to get more hours each night.

Some people find it difficult to get the seven to nine hours per night that experts recommend. Spend more time in meditation before bed to get more sleep. By using meditation to unwind your body and mind, you can fall asleep more quickly.

Always keep your health in mind throughout the year.

Your health should always come first, and you should take care of it by scheduling regular checkups with a variety of healthcare professionals.  

Some health screening tests you should take regularly include:

• Eyes

• Diabetes

• Cholesterol

• Vitamins

• Teeth

Regular checkups allow you to monitor your health and identify any underlying problems. If there are problems that you were unaware of, you can make sure that your health is preserved without having to spend a lot of money treating issues that were ignored

The Top 5 Garden Renovations in the UK.

{Collaborative Content} Garden renovations have increased in popularity since the beginning of the March 2020 lockdown. With nowhere to go, people invested in their outdoor space to help them create a relaxing and enjoyable space. But since then, garden renovations have remained popular; £18.6 billion was present on garden makeovers in 2021.

If you want to know what you can do to give your garden a new makeover, this post has some great ideas.

Summerhouse

Among the most popular garden renovation searches in 2022 was for summer houses, with over 1.5 million searches. It's little wonder why summer houses are the ultimate luxury and can be an extremely flexible building to add to your home. Summer houses are typically wooden one-room structures that people use for many things. From an outdoor office, kids' playroom, cinema room, or just a place to sit, relax and enjoy being outside in all weather.

Paving

Paving can give your garden a whole new look. Natural stone and slate remain two of the most popular choices for garden paving in the UK. Porcelain tiles are becoming more desirable for people wanting a modern, sleek look, while yorkstone gives off a timeless rustic look for a more cottagey feel to add depth and texture to your garden. The best part is you can go entirely fully paved, partly paved or used paving to create a quirky design in your outdoor space.

Dining Area

As outdoor living becomes more popular in the UK, so does the desire to create the perfect outdoor eating and seating area. From a simple patio set with a table and two chairs to elaborate sets that can easily seat 8 or more people with a fire pit, outdoor kitchen, pizza oven and more. The key to creating the perfect dining area is to look at what you need from the space, whether it is for your family only or will you be entertaining, how the area flows with the rest of your garden and the weather in your local area; parasols can provide cover from the elements as can retractable awnings and pergolas too.

Lighting

Lighting your garden can completely change how it looks and feels. You can opt for mains lighting for your outdoor areas or solar lights, lamp posts, wall lights, lights in the ground, spotlights, and more. But you can use lighting in many different ways. Highlight other parts of your garden to provide after-dark illumination for dining and seating areas or security lights for added protection and safety when using your garden, significantly more extensive gardens.

Water Features

While swimming pools aren’t highly sought after in the UK and have been for many years. Water features can range from ornamental structures to add to your design, garden ponds, mini lakes for more extensive gardens, waterfalls and more. Running water in your garden can be highly soothing and relaxing, and many people incorporate some water features for this reason. Plus, it can make an exciting talking point for visitors too.

Overhauling your garden can allow you to make many changes for the better so you can enjoy your outdoor space and create the perfect playground for you.

Health Screening Tests You Should Take Regularly

 (Collaborative Content) You exercise regularly, try to eat healthily, and even make time to unwind and relax during your most hectic day. That's fantastic. But are you also getting the recommended health screenings? According to a study, only about 41% of people go for frequent health screenings. Health screenings can detect diseases at their early and curable stage and often avert major health consequences. Several health tests and screenings may be performed at various ages. Some are routine, while others are dependent on family history. Here are a few you can consider taking.

 1. Diabetes Screening

 Diabetes tests should begin at age 35 and be repeated every three years if you have no risk factors for diabetes. Diabetes occurs when your body does not produce enough insulin or utilize it as it should. As a result, too much blood sugar remains in circulation. If you have factors such as a family history of heart disease, being overweight or obese, or having high blood pressure, screening should be done sooner and more frequently.

 

2. Cholesterol test

 Cholesterol is a fatty molecule present in the bloodstream. The liver produces it and every organ has some of it naturally circulating. It is required for the body to function; it is utilized by every cell, aids in producing vitamin D and several hormones, and is a component of bile. Even though this substance plays a major role, having too much of it can be a problem. The higher your cholesterol, the greater your chances of having a heart attack or stroke. However, without a test, you cannot determine how high it is, so it is critical to check.

 Cholesterol screening should begin at age 45 for persons with no risk factors and at age 20 for those with conditions like kidney disease, diabetes, and heart disease.

 3. Eye screening

 A comprehensive eye checkup examines your eye health. It searches for evidence of significant eye illnesses that visible symptoms may not accompany. Ophthalmologists and optometrists at credible establishments like Sana are eye care experts who do comprehensive exams on your eye. They specialise in diagnosing and treating vision and eye diseases. Adults should get a baseline eye exam at 18, then every two years until the age of 60, unless there is a concern such as diabetes. You should have yearly eye checkups starting at the age of 61.

 

4. Sexually transmitted infections test (STIs)

 Because STIs are frequently asymptomatic, you can transmit them to your partner or, if pregnant, to your unborn child. Screenings for sexual health should begin as soon as you start being sexually active, if feasible. Even if you are not sexually active, discussing STIs with your doctor or health provider is crucial. This may be relatively non-invasive, and testing

 

 5. Frequent dental checkups

 Dental care entails frequent cleaning of your teeth and consuming a low-sugar diet to lower your chances of tooth decay, gum disease, and tooth loss. Visit a dentist or other oral health expert at least once a year for a dental checkup and professional cleaning or as your dentist recommends. A checkup lets your dentist see whether you have any dental issues and helps you maintain good oral health. Leaving issues untreated frequently results in discomfort and makes them more difficult to cure in the future, so it is important to deal with them as soon as they arise or, if possible, prevent them entirely.

How to Know if you are Dependant on Alcohol

{Collaborative Content} A lot of people have trouble with alcohol for one reason or another. It is in fact a very common issue to have. If you are someone who feels as though you could probably have a better handle on your alcohol intake, there are a lot of things that you might need to think about here. First of all, it might be helpful to figure out whether or not you are actually dependent on alcohol, because that will likely affect the manner in which you approach recovery. So let’s look at some of the signs that you might be.

You Experience Withdrawal Without It

This is one of the clearest signs that you might be dependent on alcohol. In fact, if you notice this, then it definitely means you have some kind of dependency to the drug. Withdrawal simply means that your body and brain go through various unpleasant side effects when you have not had a drink. That might include being shaky, having mood swings, poor sleep, depression and anxiety and really everything in between. If you get these kinds of effects from not drinking, that is a sure sign of dependency, and it might be time for alcohol detoxification.

You Can’t Relax Without A Drink

In a more subjective sense, you might just feel that you can’t really fully relax unless you have a drink in hand. This is again very common, but a definite sign that you have become dependent upon alcohol in order to just function normally. As such, you should make sure that you are trying to do something about it. That simply starts with getting the appropriate help, which is always available should you want it. Of course, part of the problem can be knowing where to look, but if you ask around in your area this becomes clear soon enough.

It’s Causing Troublesome Behaviour

Sometimes the most obvious sign that you have a problem with alcohol is that it is appearing to affect your behaviour in some way. You might be acting in ways which other people disapprove of, or causing harm to yourself or other people. Or you might just frequently wake up feeling very guilty without knowing why. These are all signs that alcohol use may be becoming a problem for you. The next step is to own up to your behaviour by getting some help with your drinking, for the benefit of everyone.

Other People Are Worried

Finally, you might find that other people are worried about your alcohol usage, and that they have started to tell you so. When this happens, it can be a shock, and you might find yourself resisting what they say, perhaps even getting quite angry about it. In any case, it is again just a sign that you might need to do something about it - and it is definitely worth making sure that you do. It really will make a huge difference to how you feel in the long run, and how you behave too.
