Why Are Brazilian Women So Beautiful And Gorgeous

I’m so suspicious to talk about that, but I can tell you a thing: There’s no woman as Brazilian woman.

You can ask around, there isn’t any man alive that doesn’t love a Brazilian girl. Sometimes we just can’t stop dreaming about them, sorry ladies you can’t blame us. I know most guys will agree with this and i know some ladies would be like “there they go again". Hey ladies, we love you too but we just can’t help fantasizing about these Brazilian girls and let me give you the top 10 reasons to date a Brazilian woman.


Brazil is a land widely associated with the Carnival. The yearly event epitomizes the love of color, music and vitality that is true of all Brazilians and especially with the women here. If you want to know more about winning over the famed Brazilian beauties, here are a few handy tips.

10. They are gorgeous

Which man has not been bowled over by the exotic beauty of Brazilian women? Blessed with lustrous hair, dark eyes and skin the color of honey Brazilian women are without doubt, are some of the most gorgeous in the world. And what’s more they are not conscious or embarrassed about the fact. Here women are confident about their looks and bodies and if you like what you see, they will welcome your appreciation as well. At the same time though, theirs is a very feminine beauty even if not demure. You may see them in bikinis and dresses with plunging necklines, but not so much in pantsuits and masculine shirts. Indeed, women here are encouraged to spend a lot of their time on their looks-body, clothes and hair. Staying attractive is quite important in a culture that judges people by how they look.

9. They are friendly

Brazilian women are friendly and outgoing in nature. If a girl happens to spot you in a bar or cafe and you meet her standards, she will not hesitate to come up and ask you for your phone number or invite you to buy a drink for her. They are quite easy to strike up a conversation with and before long you may even find yourself sharing a joke or a song with one of them. Their openness to making friends has given them a reputation for being ‘loose’ and ready to jump in bed with the first American gringo they come across. While this may be true of some women as with any other nationality, it is not true of all Brazilian girls. They are friendly and like to have a good time but they also know their mind and if they find a guy bothering them, they also know how to put him in his place. At the same time because of their friendly natures, Brazilian women are also likely to have a wide circle of male admirers if not boyfriends. So if you are planning to get into a relationship with your Brazilian date, you may have to learn to get along with her innumerable friends – of both sexes.

8. Comfortable with physical contact

If you belong to a culture where people remain in their personal spaces when interacting, you may have a tough time understanding why your Brazilian female friend or date is of the touchy-feely type. This is because physical contact is quite acceptable in interpersonal dealings in this culture. People in Brazil stand quite close to one another when talking or hanging out.

They take time to greet and say good-bye to each person present. Men and women usually kiss twice – once on each cheek – upon meeting someone for the first time, even if they are married. So when dating a Brazilian woman, don’t get perturbed if she is leaning slightly towards you while talking.
This is not only a sign of her genuine interest but if she happens you notice moving away, she may construe it as arrogance and bad manners. Also Brazilian women like to be courted the old-fashioned way. They look forward to be taken out to a fancy place and are happy if you wine n dine them in a stylish manner.

7. They are ambitious

Like many other traditional societies, Brazilian culture has long laid down specific roles and duties for each gender. Women were mostly expected to keep house and raise children while men were the breadwinners in the family. However with changing times and economic compulsions, women have come to acquire a greater role in decision-making. While initially they were compelled by male unemployment and things like domestic abuse, to work out of home, now more and more Brazilian women are going to college and preparing for skilled professions. In fact a recent article in the online edition of Business week 1 mentions a survey which shows that Brazilian women are more ambitious than their American counterparts. The survey conducted by the New York-based non- profit research group, Center for Work-Life Policy shows that at least 80 percent of college-educated Brazilian women aspire to top-level positions in the corporate sector, compared with 52 percent in the U.S., and 59 percent of Brazilian women consider themselves “very ambitious," compared with 36 percent in the U.S.

The study also mentions that women hold 29 percent of senior positions in privately held companies in Brazil and are chief executive officers of 11 percent of large companies, compared with 20 percent and 3 percent, respectively, in the U.S. Thus while Brazilian women may still have a long way to go as compared to women in many Scandinavian and European countries, the strides that they have made thus far and their desire to achieve even more is impressive. So when dating a Brazilian woman, it would be a good idea to keep in mind that behind those gorgeous looks are nerves of steel and a determination to make good in life.

6. They are close to their families

Brazilian society is firmly based on the sense of family. Despite rising divorce rates and single-parents, family members continue to be close to each other. So in order to seal the deal with your Brazilian girlfriend, you may not only have to impress her Mama and Papa but also varied uncles, aunts and grandparents. Likewise you may also have to keep in mind sundry other siblings and cousins when bearing gifts for the family. On a more serious note though, families – even extended ones – are often the first line of support when things go wrong. Likewise young Brazilians are also very close to their families and consider it their duty to take care of their aged parents. Indeed according to the Businessweek article mentioned above, one of the reasons why women remain unable to commit fully to their professions, especially in senior levels, is the need to care for elderly parents. Sixty-nine percent of the women in the survey help shoulder financial costs for taking care of elderly relatives, compared with 48 percent in the U.S. The financial support averages 13,000 reais or $7,000 USD, or 23 percent of their annual income, according to the study. Such numbers are ample proof that despite traditionally biased gender roles, Brazilian women have emerged successful, confident and attractive in the best ways possible.

5. They are super-models

Any runway without a Brazilian girl isn’t complete. They produce some of the best models in the world because of their unique and gorgeous body we all love.

4. They are exotic

When you talk of exotic women, you think Brazilian. The racial mixing through out the years has produced this exotic ladies in brazil and we like what we see. Just experience the carnivals in Brazil and you would understand what i am talking about

3. They have the best bikini body

Brazil has some of the most amazing beaches you could come across and these beaches are graced by these pretty Brazilian girls with their amazing bikini body. So if you want a woman with an amazing bikini body lying next to you in a beach in Rio, then you should be with a Brazilian.

2. They have the most amazing smile

Brazilian girls have a smile to die for and there is no guy alive that won’t fall for those smiles. Even our girlfriends would understand if we smile back to a Brazilian girl. Ladies hope i am right?

1. They Love Soccer

I can’t believe it’s the fifth reason already cos i wish i could still say more. I love women that love soccer and the Brazilian women are also famous for their love for the beautiful game. There are lots of these pretty Brazilian girls in the World cup venues that i forget i am supposed to be watching soccer and not looking at pretty women.

7 Foods That Promote Weight Loss

There are certain foods which have properties that can encourage weight loss in a natural way.

1. Broth

Broth is any hot water solution with added goodies. Try boiling chopped herbs and organic vegetables. You can look online for particularly healing recipes. Leave your boiled broth to sit overnight, then strain and drink. You can add salt and pepper for taste. Many nutritionists prefer broth to the trendy juices which abound on the market these days.

Once the vegetables have been strained from the broth, you can enjoy them separately, adding fish, meat or whole grains to the mix.

2. Coconut oil

Many health experts consider coconut a super-food: a food which is calorie poor but nutrient dense. It contains many beneficial nutrients, including very high levels of lauric acid – a powerful virus- and bacteria-destroyer. You can add the oil (extra-virgin) to food or cook with it – a great alternative to canola oil.

3. Apple cider vinegar

An age-old method for weight loss, using apple cider vinegar is actually backed up by science. It is a great source of many minerals, vitamins and healthy fats. These days, you can find it in health stores in liquid or pill form. Make sure that the brand you use is organic and high-quality.

4. Cinnamon

Who knew that the spice used so often in baking is also ridiculously healthy?! Cinnamon can regulate blood sugar levels and has anti-inflammatory properties, among other things. So go ahead and use it generously on granola, coffee, milk, cereal or juice.

5. Lemon

Lemons, known as a great source of vitamin C, are also a natural diuretic, detoxifier and alkalizing agent (a reducer of acidity in the body) – all of which are good processes to promote weight loss. Add lemon juice to your water, salads and juices whenever possible.

6. Fresh juice

Fresh fruit and vegetable juice is a tremendous way to give your body maximum vitamins during the day. Many fruits contain antioxidants, minerals and enzymes which will improve you overall health. A general rule for juicing: the more green items you use, the healthier (cucumber, kale, lettuce). For added deliciousness, use apples, ginger, lemon, beets and coconut.

7. Fresh Fruit and Vegetables

You already know the value of fresh fruits and veggies. What you may not know: the less you cook them, the more nutrition they retain. When eating them fresh, keep the peel if possible. The most nutrients in a vegetable or fruit can be found in the layer between the peel and the meat.

7 Reasons You Want Rain on Your Wedding Day Seriously!

Quick! Name your number one wedding fear. If you said rain on your wedding day, you're likely in good company. Many couples — especially those who plan outdoor affairs — worry nothing more than a mere drizzle could ruin the whole day.

But, says Aviva Samuels, owner of Kiss the Planner in Palm Beach, Florida, "five, 10 and 25 years from now, the very last thing on your mind will be the weather on your wedding day. You are marrying the love of your life, and that is for a lifetime. In the grand scheme of things, rain is probably the least tragic thing that you will encounter."

If you need some extra encouragement, however, to fully embrace the idea of rain on your wedding day, we get it. That's why we've gathered seven reasons you'll actually want it. And yes, we're serious.

1. You'll love your photos.

When you think of taking snapshots in the rain, put aside your visions of frizzing hair and stepping your peep-toes into puddles, and instead focus on the photo-op at hand. "Photos with umbrellas can be so cute that you might even wish for rain," says Samuels. "Multi-colored or completely clear, there's an artistic opportunity to take advantage of with rain." In fact, if you fear rain is in your forecast, "consider silk-screening the bridal party's names on the umbrellas so that the photo is even more cute," Samuels suggests.

2. Rain gives you an excuse to cuddle.

As Nicole Harris, co-founder of One Last Frog in Southern California, reminds us, "rain is romantic." Think of it this way: A light drizzle or a huge downpour will encourage you to cuddle close to your new spouse under the same umbrella — or find fun ways to warm one another up or dry one another off! Plus, Harris says, "the patter of the rain on umbrellas and the windows is the sweetest sound you'll hear, and is a sound that is associated with romance."

3. Your flowers could last longer.

You can't wait to see your centerpieces, only to find that when you've arrived to your tented reception, they've succumbed to the heat and wilted. But that won't happen on a rainy day, says Rhae Adams, owner and lead designer of Found in Nature in Kansas City. "Flowers are less likely to wilt in rainy conditions," she says. "Overcast skies, cooler temperatures and humidity all generally make flowers happier than sun, heat and dry air."

4. It'll make for a great story.

Wedding day disasters may not seem funny in the moment, but one day you'll love telling your children — or, heck, anyone who will listen — the epic story of how you battled a big storm on your wedding day to your grandchildren, Samuels says. "Everyone loves a good story, and if hurricane winds ripped your wedding arch down or a torrential downpour caused your updo to go south or makeup to melt, you can be the hero of the story that persevered and loved every moment of it, the good, the bad and the ugly."

5. You could see a rainbow.

What comes at the end of an awful storm? "If it rains and the rain stops, the perfect rainbow backdrop can be created," says Harris. And, she adds, "it's free of charge, thanks to mother nature." Who doesn't love free decor?

6. It could be good luck.

Maybe in your mind, rain on your wedding day is the worst thing that can happen. A sign, if you will, that you have really bad luck. But, says Samuels, "in some cultures, rain on your wedding day is considered good luck, symbolizing fertility and cleansing. So whether you are superstitious or just prefer to look on the bright side, think of it this way: Who couldn't use a little good luck on their big day?"

7. You can say bye-bye to that stuffy nose.

If you suffer from seasonal allergies, the last thing you may want on your wedding day is hot, sunny skies — the perfect conditions to kick your allergies into high gear and turn your nose and eyes red, says Adams. "Rain reduces airborne pollen," she explains, "so if it's allergy season, you and your wedding party will feel better."

With the Satpura Tiger Reserve close-by, Panchmarhi is one of the most serene spots in the heart of the country. The only hill station in Madhya Pradesh is flanked on all sides by the majestic Satpura range and dotted with beautiful 10,000 year old man-made cave shelters, dense sal forests and bamboo thickets. The cool and calm environs all around the year make Panchmarhi the top pick for summers.

3. Mon, Nagaland: With the tribals


Mon is frequented usually in the first week of April, when people witness the Aoleang festival of the Konyak Nagas. A vibrant mix of modern and traditional, the festival is celebrated as the beginning of the new year with the spring season, after sowing seeds for the first crop of the year. Traditional dances, music and games are showcased, with the added aim of spreading peace and cultural harmony among the tribes. The rare head hunter and tattooed Nagas are seen in great numbers during this time.

4. Sarahan, Himachal Pradesh: Serenity Now!


The Bhimakali Temple, one of 51 shaktipeethas (the consecrated sites of worship of the chief female deity, Sati) is located in Sarahan and attracts pilgrims around the year. Sarahan is seated deep into the lap of lush mountain scenery and is the perfect summer retreat. With the Bird Park that is the only breeding ground for pheasants in the state and home to the state bird, the monal. The Pandava Cave, where the mythological five brothers of the Hindu epic Mahabharata are said to have trekked also finds home in Sarahan.

5. Kadmat Island, Lakshadweep: Among the most exotic islands in India


Travellers to Kadmat feel blessed to witness natural beauty so exquisite, that it could only be nothing lesser than paradise. Located atop a coral reef, Kadmat is a tiny island, spread over just 3.12 square kilometres, but explored best through water activities like diving, snorkeling and swimming. The simplicity of the island speaks for itself, since there is little to no human interference in the natural beauty, and precautions are taken by the natives to keep one of the most beautiful islands at Lakshadweep, clean and as naturally preserved as possible.

6. Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu: The southernmost tip of mainland India


Kanyakumari is what one would call the land of hidden wonders. While most of the tourists here are on a pilgrimage to the shaktipeetha here, the Kanyakumari Temple, many also come to see if the sparkling diamond nose ring of the female deity, is actually visible  from the sea, as the word goes around it does. Also found here is the Gandhi Memorial, constructed for public viewing of the Mahatma’s ashes before their immersion. The Memorial is constructed with such finesse, that on 2nd October, the birth anniversary of Gandhi, the first rays of the day fall on the memorial. Also worth seeing is the Dhyana Mandalam, where Swami Vivekananda meditated for 3 days and is also open to the general public, and a statue 133m of the famous Tamil poet Thiruvalluvar. Be sure to read up and have your travelogue full with experiences when you visit Kanyakumari.

7. Darjeeling, West Bengal: Gorgeous sunrises


The black tea capital of India, Darjeeling is known for its sprawling tea plantations, Gothic architecture and local beer made from fermented finger millet. Darjeeling is where you can go for long leisurely walks and come back with an uplifted olfactory system and millions of memories. The Peace Pagoda built here is one of the most frequented spots by those inclined towards learning more about Buddhism. One of the most loved experiences of frequent travelers here, is to watch the sun rise on the Kanchenjunga from the Tiger Hill.

8. Wayanad, Misty Hills in Kerala


Misty hills and a lush green cover cloaking these hills, Wayanad is truly a trip for the senses. Kerala is a major producer of aromatic products like cardamom, vanilla, coffee and tea, and a leisure walk through plantations of these is enough to transport you to a nether realm. Wayanad is known to be home to the oldest traced tribes who practice age old customs and lead a nomadic life. Wayanad is your perfect detox from the overwhelming urban life, it is a vacation fit for gods.

9. Kalimpong, West Bengal


The striking contrast of the pristine Himalayas and the evergreen alpines is what strikes a first time traveler in Kalimpong. River Teesta provides adventurers with the option of rowing downriver during the rapids. Those who are more into a relaxed and laid back vacation can take a stroll among the fragrant cardamom and cinnamon plantations (talk about natural aromatherapy!) or feast their eyes on the acacia, bamboo and orchid fields. Roads lined with sunflowers and poinsettias, and the city itself considered as an ecological hotspot, don’t be surprised if you spot rarities like the red panda, asiatic black bear, and the pangolin here.

10. Coonoor, Tamil Nadu


Located in the world renowned Nilgiris, Coonoor is popular among those who want to enjoy nature’s bounty but without the overflowing tourists. Sim’s Park, a botanical garden in the city frequented most by locals and those visiting Coonoor, hosts an annual Fruit Show in the summers. The Dolphin’s Nose Point, a one of a kind view point, provides a panoramic view of the mesmerising Nilgiri Hills and the Catherine Falls.
