10 Ways to be Sexy like Catwoman in a Snap (Hint: Slow Down)

If you caught Catwoman (no pun intended) over the weekend in the biggest buzz-making movie since the year began, Anne Hathaway probably made the whole movie experience worthwhile even if you didn't like the last installment of the trilogy. The sexiness she exudes speaks so much about her confidence. Especially in the first scene with the gone-into-hiding Bruce Wayne.

You can also be sexy. And you don't need a pro to train you like I'm sure Anne needed. It's all about being comfortable in your skin. Your confidence. More precisely, your self-confidence. What's important is how it makes you feel. And you don't need stacks of cash to be hot.

 
  1. What You're Wearing (or not): Push-up bras are a no-fail tried-n-tested option. Anything that draws attention to your legs – skinny jeans, skirts, heels, etc. Wear lace and other barely felt delicate materials to oomph up your sexiness quotient. Also wear perfume; it lifts you up.
  2. Watch your Posture: How you carry yourself dictates your mood. Keep your back straight and avoid any frowns.
  3. Be Clean: Because clean hair is always sexy. Also, don't forget to get rid of that fuzz on your hands, feet and other exposed as well as non-exposed parts of your skin. Get waxed. You stay hair-free for 2 weeks that way. You'd think, "Who'd notice if I had hair on my bikini line?" Well, you would and that's who's the most important, right?
  4. Pamper yourself: Treat yourself to a spa massage and pedi-mani session. If that's not do-able, plain ol' body lotion works just as well. The idea is to show yourself that you deserve to be cared for.
  5. Slow Down: Switch on music from genres like Reggae and sway your hips from side to side to the rhythm. Like Buju Banton says in his song Love Sponge "Slow motion is the only way to enjoy the day"
  6. Dim the Lights: It makes your skin feel soft and attractive. If you don't have dimmers, light some candles (be careful though) 
  7. Get Going: Exercise. Go trekking or take a walk in the outdoors.   
  8. Sing: It boosts the feel-good chemical, endorphins in your body. Brave enough to try karaoke? Go ahead, it will give you a further happiness boost thanks to the feeling of acceptance, encouragement & approval from the crowd.
  9. Spruce up your Home Decor: There's nothing sexier than an inviting environment. Bring out that favorite vase that you only reserve for special occasions and fill it up with freshly cut flowers, in your favourite colors of the moment.
  10. Get online: Check what's new on BuzzFeed or Cracked. If you're into stand-up comedy, check out Comedy Central. A good laugh boosts your mood. Have you ever felt sexy when in the dumps? Didn't think so.
Don't forget to smile
