Get a better jawline with 3 easy tips!

Allison Lawson June 18, 2018

Ever wonder why selfies are taken at such an awkwardly high angle? By looking up at the camera the skin of your neck stretches out any loose skin and the jaw becomes more defined. Here are some tips to get your jawline to pop while looking still looking professional.

 1. Lean in

By straightening your spine and leaning in, like you would in an interesting conversation, you are elongating loose areas and looking trimmer. This is just a slight lean maybe 10 degrees and implies you are ready to engage with the viewer.  

2. Out and down

Chin out and down might need some practice in the mirror but it is well worth it. Most of us have the tendency to rest our chin down and in especially when you are trying to stand taller and puff your chest out. Remember only move your face out and down not your whole body or your posture will suffer.

 3. Push your tongue to the roof of your mouth

Pushing your tongue up behind your teeth will help tighten the muscles in your neck and create more flattering line.

It was a great weekend! Charlie waved for the first time and climbed his first rock! He is cruising right through his 10th month. It’s all going so fast! 😳

#coloradospr Guys! I’ve had this bike FOREVER! And today I said goodbye as it was taken to the recyclers. I am sad to see this awesome bike go but it was time. The frame was cracked and the leftie was blown out. I learned a lot riding a hard tail, crushed s I have been struggling to get back out taking pictures! Part of it is having a baby to think about and lots to do with motivation. I know I am not alone in this struggle! 
I was so happy when Branden ask for pictures of him riding! The last picture o Not bad for a lunch ride! 😳 Colorado is pretty rad!

#c Everyone told us that kids change your life. And I thought no not us! We are hard working, early risers, and always looking for adventures. Life won’t change much. 
Well I was wrong they were right! Having our baby has changed our lives. Priori We use to go to Garden of the Gods to shine flashlights. Now we go to take Charlie for walks and tell him next year we’ll go when it’s dark and he can hold his own. 👍

#flashlight #blfgt #budgetlightforum #torch #newbornphotography #nikonphotography #everydaycarry #babyboy #coloradosprings So this time of year we turn off the TV, grab a jacket, a few flashlights (😂) and go for more interesting walks. This is my favorite spot at the Garden of the Gods! At night you can avoid all the traffic and see stars! 
#candlepowerforums #candlepow Finally! We are out flashlighting and hiking again. It’s been a long summer full of daytime adventures but I am happy to see these beautiful colors again!

#flashlight #nighthike #everydaycarry #lumin #torch #visitcol We actually stayed up until 9:30 for this picture. Yes that is late for us! We sat in the car listening to a podcast waiting for the last little visible light to be gone. And then we tried to light up the peaks before heading back to a cold nights sl
