Here are some of our favorite ways at Peekaboo Portland to have fun while exercising:

Running the dog(s): your own or your hot neighbor’s, either ways 😉

Yoga: we love all types of yoga, but have you tried acro yoga yet? It is a greatly fun partner activity you can do you with your man or your new date.

Kayaking: this has to be the best way to get a gorgeous tan one while having a blast, but don’t forget sunscreen.

Rock-climbing: with the adrenaline running high levels boosting your energy to keep you going and going, your entire body will turn rock-hard in no time after you start doing it regularly. Great way to face any height fears and great exercise especially for adrenaline junkies.

Dance: no much commenting needed here. Just enjoy yourself and see results later!

And yes, sex! Sex is a great exercise, not only to tone your body, but also for your heart and your mental health! So no excuse to ever pass on it!

What’s your favorite way to exercise?

At Peekaboo Portland, we are all about natural and healthy ways to maintain and upkeep your beautiful body. And that is why sunscreen is on the top of our list. It is way better and easier to prevent than to treat. Keep your skin young and healthy with these tips and you can thank us later, when you come in for your boudoir photoshoot 😉

• Wear sunscreen, all the time, everytime, to any exposed skin. No exceptions. Look for natural ingredients in the label.
• Use smart lotions: petroleum-free and water-based ones with natural ingredients are the best because they don’t clog your pores and allow your skin to breath while hydrating it.
• Exercise! Dance is a great way to have fun while you work it. Get active doing whatever you like, to get your blood flowing in order to promote skin cell regeneration which is crucial for long lasting healthy and young-looking skin.
• Drink water, plenty of it. Not only does it hydrate your entire health system but it also flushes out your toxins that will otherwise try to come out through your skin. Not a pretty picture…
• Let your skin breathe; this applies to the clothing you wear. Your skin loves natural fabrics so wear them as much as possible. Think of it as a room with or without windows. Which one would you prefer to be in for hours and hours daily?
• Take your multivitamins. Prenatal vitamins are known to boost your skin, hair, and nail health. Find the ones that you like the best, based on shapes, size, and form, and make them your daily routine so you have no reason to miss taking them.

We are no beauty experts here, but what we do know is what looks best naturally and on camera. Our amazing makeup artist does a fabulous job at preparing our clients for their boudoir photoshoot. But it all depends on the base layer of what you can work with. Get your skin healthy not just for what it looks like, but mainly for what it feels like. After all, it is your largest organ, hence biggest part of your body so you ought to love it like you love your self.  Try these tips and let us know if you have your own to add to the list.

Very Berry Skin Beautifier

• 1 cup blackberries
• 1 cup blueberries
• 1 cup strawberries
• 1 cup raspberries

We highly recommend using organic fruit or fruit homegrown in your garden, if possible. Wash all fruit, cut stems, and place them all in a juicer. You can use a blender also for this one, if you don’t have a juicer. But it may make a thicker end result, which makes a delicious dessert alternative. You can add a large orange and a banana to add more juice for mixing and sweeten up the berries. Berries, bananas, and oranges are high in vitamins A, B, C, E and K, among other nutritional values. They are all delicious building blocks for a healthy-feeling and beautiful-looking skin. Serve in a tall glass for drinking if using orange juice, or in a cup to eat like dessert if it ends up thicker than juice.

Green Clean Skin Booster

• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 celery stalk
• 2 large carrots
• 1 cup spinach
• ½ apple

Wash, cleanup stems, and chop up all ingredients. For this juice you will need a juicer because of the firmer vegetables that would need to be blended really fine in order to drink. Juice all the ingredients and alternate soft ingredients with firmer ones.  Carrots are high in A which helps maintaining skin cells alive, as well as beta-carotene and antioxidants which help prevent skin damage.  Spinach contains high levels of beta-carotene as well, which additionally offers free radical protection converting into vitamin A in the body. It also has vitamins C  & E which are miracle workers for your skin.  Apples are great for smooth skin and are rich in beta-carotene and vitamin C. Celery is rich in magnesium, iron, chlorophyll, folic acid, C and also has B vitamins and vitamin E which are all delicious for your skin health. Let your inner goddess shone through with this juice!

Summertime Smooth Skin Refresher

• 1 cucumber
• 1 celery stalk
• 2 large carrots
• 1 apple

As previous, wash, cleanup stems, and chop up all items. Cucumbers are great for you skin whether you ingest them or apply the, directly on your skin. They  are rich in silica which is important for the complexion and skin elasticity.  Leave the peel on  when prepping the cucumbers because most of the silica is in the peel.  If you can’t buy organic cucumbers then it may be best to remove the peel before juicing. Same with the apple. If you have leftover cucumbers, cut them in ringlets and use them on your eyes for a refreshing awaking sensation. This recipe is great for your skin refreshing it and helping it stay silk and smooth. All the beauty vitamins in the ingredients will help your skin feel and stay beautifully alive.

Have fun with these delicious and miracle working juice recipes giving your skin a super healthy boost to glow. Make homemade juices a regular part of your diet in order to see results that stick around. Besides, not only is your skin your largest body organ, but the rest of your body organs will love you as well if you ingest them with all these nutritional goodies. Feel beautiful, look beautiful and let your inner goddess shine!

We love lingerie; we love to buy it, we love to wear, we love to look at it. Who doesn’t? It exposes your sexy features while still leaving plenty to the imagination.

The thing is when it comes to a boudoir photoshoot, it doesn’t matter so much what style you choose to wear, as much as it matters how your wear your style. It is all about attitude and expression. You could be wearing your gym tank top or your Victoria Secret corset, and look just as sexy because of the confidence and sex-appeal you add to it. I truly believe that beauty comes from within and it is that radiating shine that makes you look the sexiest in front of the camera! Lingerie is just a beautiful addition you choose to make it a bit more colorful, in a metaphorical way.

With that said, as if you needed an excuse to shop for new lingerie, a boudoir photoshoot with Peekaboo is an excellent one. Get a hold of your girls, make it a girls’ day-out, and have fun shopping for your sexiest look. Just make sure not to show your man what you got until after the photoshoot, just so you make it a sexy and fun surprise for him and look at his jaw drop when he sees the photos.

Spring weather is here and that means we can finally bring out all those cute dresses and sun-hats – or cute umbrellas – from the depths of our closet. We assembled these three looks to inspire you reflect your beauty off of the spring raindrops and radiate along the pale but defining sunshine. Summer is on its way, be assured.

We love these spring colors, pretty and lightweight dresses matched with boots, hats, hair-flowers, and pretty accessories. Add your own touch and make it your own personal look. Depending on your skin-tone, hair-color, and personal style, select what looks best on you, what compliments your personal best features. For some women that is their shoulders and chest, for other women it is their bust, waist, and/or hips. Whatever makes you YOU, point that out and make that the centerpiece of you body and overall look. Above all, feel beautiful and act like it, because that confident attitude will be the best accessory you can wear no matter what the fashion trends tell us.

We’d love to hear your feedback on your own style ideas and preferences. What is your favorite accessory this spring and how do you bring that in your own personal style?
