Pros and Cons of Signing on with a Boutique Modeling Agency

Typically, there are two options for individuals trying to break into the world of modeling.

They can either pursue a relationship with a Boutique modeling agency,

or

with a corporate modeling agency.

While there are positives and negatives of both, the focus here will remain on Boutique modeling agencies that are available to aspiring models. There are pros and cons to this approach, and both will be explored in order to get an unbiased look and view of working as a model from this particular career angel.

Name of the agency alone is not what will determine the success of an individual. As a result, it is perfectly acceptable to go with a boutique modeling agency, and there are a number of other advantageous reasons as well.

Not only will a model candidate be able to sit down and discuss her career goals and options with enthused and informative individuals at the agency, but the model candidate will also be able to have a loving and friendly support structure in the agency, since they are typically smaller and have the time and abilities to give more personalized care and attention to their models.

This is beneficial since it helps every to have a support system in place when work is being performed, and it also allows the model to have more control over her future and career. If there are any questions that the model has over the course of her experience, she is in more of a position to ask questions and have them answered honestly and simply.

In addition, these types of places will also work on a more well-rounded scale in order to utilize all the positives of the model candidate, and will typically not file her into one category without exploring her other attributes and abilities. This opens up more work to the model and also allows her to feel more fulfilled and satisfied in many cases because she is not limited in any way when it comes to her career and options for success.

However, when it comes to booking jobs, many clients may overlook the smaller boutique agencies, and simply offer jobs to the bigger names in modeling agencies. Despite the fact that there is a wealth of potential in boutique modeling agencies, many clients will simply not know where to look first, and will settle by calling names of companies that they have heard of before, and will end up thinking that this is their only resource for models. It is also important to look out for tips that the boutiques may be having financial problems.

This is because many of these agencies are small and family owned and operated. As a result, when anything goes wrong, they may not be able to pay their models, and the models will end up losing money if the boutiques file for bankruptcy. A sign that this may be about to happen would include a doing away with of advances that a model was previously receiving and then stopped receiving.

In general, the decision is left up to the individual as to how they believe they should go about advancing their own career. This is a great way for individuals, especially those who are new to the modeling world, to break into a career, but it does not mean that they should be ignorant about the process.

There are still things that they should be on the lookout for, but barring any ignorance of these important items to keep tabs on, they should be able to succeed well in this type of environment when it comes to modeling.

Five Tips to Avoid Weight Gain when calling it quits on Smoking

One concern of many who try to quit smoking is the possibility of weight gain.  In truth, it does happen.  Not to everyone, but it does happen.  On the other hand, some people actually lose weight when they quit smoking and others stay the same.  In addition, those who do gain weight often lose it again in a few months after giving up smoking.

The reasons for weight gain after smoking cessation are varied.  For some, smoking actually reduces the appetite.  For others, food actually tastes better because their sense of taste has returned.  Yet others are in the habit of smoking after a meal.  Since they can’t smoke, they choose a second helping over a cigarette.  For these people eating more than they did while smoking is the cause of the weight gain.

There are also physical changes that occur to the body from smoking.  Smoking does increase a person’s metabolic rate, which causes calories to burn more quickly.  In addition, the body doesn’t digest food properly and insulin levels are depressed, which can reduce weight gain.  In fact, a heavy smoker can burn up to 200 calories per day from the increased metabolism of smoking.

Make Smoking Your First Priority

Research into the connection between weight gain and smoking cessation has shown that it is best to make smoking your first priority, then, once this is successfully managed, you can look at losing weight if necessary.  Trying to quit smoking can be stressful as it is, you don’t need to stress yourself out more by worrying about weight gain.  Combining both will only serve to stress you more.

Monitor Your Food Intake

Since smoking does increase your metabolic rate, you might want to make a few changes in your diet to compensate for the lack of metabolism.  This may not always be necessary.  In fact, you may be able to continue your normal diet without gaining weight.  But, if you are really concerned about the possibility of gaining weight, you can cut back on a few simple things – such as butter – to reduce your caloric intake.

Some “food” for thought – eliminating the following foods from your diet will help you “make up” those extra 200 calories that may not be getting burned now that you have quit smoking:

1 hot dog and roll = 250 calories

2 frozen waffles = 240 calories

20 potato chips = 220 calories

2 light beers = 220 calories

2 oz of cheddar cheese = 220 calories

4 chocolate sandwich cookies = 213 calories

1 small order of McDonald’s fries = 210 calories

½ cup of macaroni and cheese = 205 calories

2 tablespoons of butter = 200 calories

Increase Activity

Even a small amount of added activity can help compensate for the calories that may be no longer burned off when quitting smoking.  Now that you have quit smoking, your energy levels should be higher, which should make it easier for you to engage in physical activity.  For example, a brisk 45 minute walk will burn 200 calories, as will 30 minutes of swimming laps.  In addition, engaging in these activities can help keep your mind off cravings by distracting you from smoking and helping reduce stress and tension.  In fact, your brain releases endorphins when you exercise, which helps make you feel better, and increases your metabolism, which helps you burn calories faster and more efficiently.

Satisfy the Oral Fixation

For many smokers, the primary gratification of smoking is to satisfy the oral fixation.  Don’t substitute food for cigarettes to fulfill this desire.  Wait to eat until after the urge to smoke subsides.  For starters, eating every time you want a cigarette can certainly lead to weight gain!  Secondly, you don’t want to substitute food for cigarettes, and eating when you have a craving will “train” your body to rely on food the same way it did cigarettes.  Instead, chew a piece of gum.

Drink Fluids

Drinking lots of water has two benefits.  First, it makes you feel full, which will make you less likely to overeat.  Second, it helps flush out the toxins in your body – namely nicotine.  If you absolutely must have something with flavor, try to avoid soft drinks.  Instead, keep club soda and vegetable juices on hand.
