It’s incredibly hard to believe this same Brazilian beauty is mother to a six-month-old baby and a three-year-old son Benjamin.
Back in 2010, Gisele boasted to Vogue about how she did yoga three days a week and kung-fu up until two weeks before Benjamin’s birth.
Bundchen remarked: ‘I think a lot of people get pregnant and decide they can turn into garbage disposals.’
The five-foot-11 stunner – who did home births – has clearly been rewarded for her strict discipline. More Photos after the cut..

BEAUTY TIPS: Do It Yourself - Eye Brow Basics
By DAZEITA BEAUTY
Eyebrows play a huge role in our overall appearance; it can instantly lift drooping eyes, make an older person look younger and vice-versa. It is definitely one of my favorite facial features because anyone can achieve an already put together look with just perfectly shaped brows.
Beautiful and full arches are a classic! The look frames your gaze, sharpens your face and adds more confidence to your look. Although not all of us are blessed with such chiselled brows, we can equally achieve the look by filling sparse brows or tweezing/trimming overly full (bushy) brows. Don't be afraid to fake it (;
Since eyebrows are unique to each person, and sometimes aren't symmetrical, try not to force yours into an unnatural shape; it is important to let your natural shape which is probably close to optimal for your face be your guide, anything too drastic can look artificial.
Using a brow comb, brush your brows in the direction of growth to determine the parts to clean up and intensify.

Beauty Tips: How to apply Foundation like a Pro
By DAZEITA BEAUTY
There are some days I wake up and my face looks effortlessly smooth and pretty, I'd just use some powder and I'm ready to have an awesome face day. Other days it feels like everything (well almost everything) that can go wrong, went wrong. Its at times like these I really appreciate d 'invention' of this beauty product: The foundation.
LESS IS MORE:
When it comes to makeup application, Less is really more and this applies to foundation too. Why should a lady use so much foundation on her face then end up looking like someone with no friends wearing a mask?! Beats me! We already have too many problems in the world, foundation mishaps SHOULD NOT be added to the list. Foundation should be used sparingly, a thin layer at a time and for a perfect 'canvas' to work on, make sure your skin is well prep'd, see previous post on (Beauty Tips: Quick Guide for a Nice and Flawless Make Up Base) then follow these guidelines to help you get that cake free foundation done like a pro :D.
FINDING THE BEST FOUNDATION SHADE FOR YOU:
To get the perfect shade for your skin tone, you have to try them on. Test along your jaw-line ( not on your wrist) in daylight, look for the shade that goes well with the color of your neck/chest and blends well with your face. Try different shades to be sure, If you're still in doubt, seek the help of a beauty adviser.
TO APPLY:
If your aim is to get little coverage (usually for everyday foundation application) you can use your fingertips (clean hands please), apply to problem areas and blend properly. For full foundation coverage, do use a sponge or a brush or use a beauty blender for an airbrushed finish. Its is best to use a sponge or brush for a professional look. (from left to right Foundation Brush, Beauty Blender, Sponge)
CONCEAL:
Use a concealer under the eyes to brighten up a tired face, and cover up unsightly sunspots, blemishes, and dark-eye circles.
BLEND:
This cannot be over emphasised. It is usually one obvious difference between an amateur and a pro makeup application. Blend paying extra attention to the hairline, jawline, around the nostrils and upper lip, blend and blend some more till its perfect!
SET YOUR FOUNDATION:
Do this using a matching powder , brush over your face to keep the face looking perfectly polished.
•DO apply foundation on your eyelids up to your brow to help even out eyeshadow appearance.
•DON'T test foundation shades on your wrist.
•DO look for a foundation with built in SPF protection (at least SPF 15).
•DO set your foundation with a powder that contains SPF.
•Dampen your foundation sponge before use.
Follow these guidelines and your days of 'cakey', not so pleasant made-up face are over. Be the Pro ;).
Do ask questions/comments.

Beauty Tips: Wanna Change That Hairstyle? Take a Look at Vintage Hairstyles You Can Do Yourself
More often than not, hairstyles are recycled! So sometimes when searching for new hairstyles the best place to look is in the past. Hair plays a huge part in our overall appearance and sometimes it’s best to transform your curls, twists and updos into a classy vintage look. You don’t have to be a movie buff or a 50′s film star to attempt vintage hairstyles that are inspiring and make a statement. Here are a few hairstyles you can try to get that vintage look.
First off, here are some tools you will need;
1. Smoothing lotion for frizz/fly away hair and flexibility
2. Bobby pins to keep hair in place
3. Hair spray from light hold
4. A smoothing brush
The Victory Roll
How to get this hairstyle
Step 1: Section the part you want to roll up. You can see the image above for directions.
Step 2: Apply a smoothing lotion of choice.
Step 3: Back comb hair; this is also known as teasing (It is easier to achieve rolls if hair has some texture), alternatively you can pre curl with tongs/straighter or rollers)
Step 4: Roll to your desired style and pin it up with bobby pins.

Beauty Tips: Quick Guide for a Nice and Flawless Make Up Base
By DAZEITA BEAUTY
Hi ladies, I wanted to start with the eye makeup, you know the brows; eye shadow colours that best suit a skin type, perfect eye lining and all but then I thought: if the skin isn't well prep'd, no matter how good your makeup is, you won't have a perfect finish. So, this is a quick guide to getting a nice and flawless makeup base.
Preparing your face for makeup will depend largely on your skin type and condition. You need to take into consideration the weather and how it has or may affect your skin. These steps are guidelines, try them and I'm positive You'll be pleased with the results.
CLEANSE: there are loads of options when it comes to cleansing the face; lotions, milks, foaming mousses, oils, wipes or plain water and mild face soap. You can use a combination of toners and cleanser, the important thing is using that which suits your skin type. For oily skin, use an oil free cleanser and a gentler cleanser for sensitive/dry skin about an hour before applying makeup.
MOISTURIZE : Now I know some of you are wondering "why use a moisturizer when I already have an oily skin!?" Well, its important to keep the skin hydrated and that is the difference between having a flawless look and having dry skin patches showing up more prominently under makeup. Use a moisturizer with at least SPF 15 to protect your skin from the sun and let it sit for about 5minutes before the next step is taken
PRIME: after cleansing and moisturising the face, take a face primer and apply with the tips of your fingers, paying attention to lines, large pores and sore/red areas. Primers prevent the skin from absorbing pigment from your foundation, your foundation stays put all day, it creates a barrier between the foundation and your skin... This provides a smooth base and helps the makeup last.You don't need so much for a good finish.
So that's it, You can apply your makeup now and have that natural glow we all crave! Feel free to ask questions & check here for updates on makeup. xoxo
