Reason to be Blake Lively #7

Her fabulous legs. Often said to be the best legs in Hollywood. The thing I appreciate about her a lot and that adds to all the perfection is that light tan.

It's light.

Most people would say that she's 'tan' but considering how pale she probably naturally is, there is definitely some tanning going on. Probably being as rich and amazing as she is, she has time for vacation on fabulous beaches to get a light tan.

Her legs are also toned, as apposed to crazy muscular. They are still soft, but she definitely does her cardio. For legs like those I would not recommend running, but walking, pilates, and light cardio.

Her arms. Maybe I only appreciate this aspect of her because I have permanently flabby arms, but I think it's a great thing that she has nicely toned arms that aren't crazy muscular.

I choose this part of her body because I feel like it's an achievement. Most celebrities have toned everything, even arms, but it's hard for us normal people to do all of that.

To achieve arms like hers do cardio while working weights. Such as, doing lunges with five pound weight in your hands. Keep the weights light to tone, rather than build muscle.

Be sure to do many reps though. Tone is working a small amount frequently. So, you may want to do fifty curl rather than twenty while watching the new episode of Gossip Girl. Also, while holding the weights hold out your arms completely straight and make small circles. This exercise also tones.

Reason to be Blake Lively #5

Her beyond perfect hair.

And not only it's gorgeousness, but how well it suits her. She wears it well. Some starlets make awful hair mistake, but she never ever does. Simple, chic up-dos and long healthy beach-y strands. Her hair will be iconic, I tell you.

I searched online for how to get her hair, and this is the consensus;

Step 1: Preferably start with unwashed hair. Just put some dry shampoo or baby powder at your roots. If you can't do that, put mousse and a heat protector in your hair, blow dry upside down, all the while twirling sections of your hair to create body and waves.

Step 2: Spray hair lightly with hairspray before curling two to three inch sections with a wide barrel curling iron. Be sure to curl the curls vertically and in different directions as you go so they stay loose and separated. Also, leave the ends of your hair out of the curling iron. If you'd rather do hot rollers use the largest you own and some just slightly smaller. Spray with hair spay, roll the curler under the hair, and alternate sizes. Don't leave in for too long.

Step 3: Shake out curls using your fingers, do not brush! Add a texturizing balm to make the look more beach-y, or a shine spray to make it look more sleek.

The set hairstylist for Gossip Girl creates this style by sparying a beach spray on freshly deep conditioned hair, blowing it dry upside down then curling random sections leaving the ends out. Then she puts in a styling balm and puts the hair in a big bun with hair pins for around a half an hour.

Reason to be Blake Lively #4

She takes her acting seriously.

After reading an interview with her somewhat about her role in 'The Town' and her experiences as an actress I had to realize why we love her.

She actually acts!

She got her first movie at sixteen, with no acting experience, 'The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants'. She said none of the being in a movie thing hit her until she really saw it, then she realized she needed to learn how to act.

Her family was in the business, so she didn't start out with absolutely nothing. But she definitely worked at it. For her role in 'The Town' she worked with several dialect coaches to get the right kind of Boston accent and talked with a native from Boston, to learn about the place and the culture. She really puts in her dues as an actress.

I find it amazing that she tries to be a good actress, she works with the character she's given, to find their essence and their story they have to tell.

It's one of the amazing things about her.

Reason to be Blake Lively #3

This is a weird one, but something I noticed about Blake in all of her perfection; even her teeth are perfect! I realize that someone with as much money as her can buy teeth whiteners and afford her bi-yearly dentist visits, but still. Many famous people have barley acceptable smiles. But hers is award-worthy. I want teeth like hers.

I think my next blog will be about her nose. It's her real nose and it is so perfect on her pretty little face.

I think that the brightness and happiness of her smile is what adds to her perfect glow.

I found another reason to be her. Her perfect combination of east coast and west coast.

More obsession to come, I suppose. I adore this gorgeous woman.

Reason to be Blake Lively #2

Her shoes.
And the fact that she is friends with Christian Louboutin.

She even has a pair named after her, she fell in love with a pair at his shop when she was hanging out with him and he decided to name them 'Blake'.

I'm pretty sure she always wear Louboutins. After a long hour of prowling Google for the religiously followed red sole on her feet, I never saw anything that wasn't a Louboutin. I could't even find any images of her in workout sneakers. I saw boots. I saw sandals. I saw heels and platforms. But all had the classic red sole, which I think she enjoys showing off. After all, it is her best friends signature.

Reason #1 to be Blake Lively.

Because....



Dun dun dun....





She's hot.
Fucking hot.





She is, she's gorgeous. And not in a traditional way. She's oddly sexy, and a huge part of this is due to the fact that she is confident. She's a confident woman, which we can all take a lesson from. And something else that adds to her hotness is her style. She dresses her body well, works out, eats well, and doesn't overdo any particular thing. She never has on too much makeup, rather, she seems to prefer less makeup. Her hair is never over-done. She colors it for sure, but the curls are never fussy, it's never stick straight, her up-do's are modern and clean.





She lets her natural beauty shine through while letting beauty products do what they are really supposed to do; enhance.





Also, a point I touched on but wish to stress is that she takes care of herself! She doesn't starve herself by any means, but she maintains a decent diet and exercises.



More reasons to be obsessed with her to come, this though, I figured was the most obvious.
