The holidays are coming and the weather is turning cold, but you ... you are getting hotter by the minute. Just look at you and your bad self perched up at your computer smoldering through the screen at me. I can tell already, you're going to be an easy student.

Looking so hot you make Santa want to cheat on Mrs. Claus isn't all that hard, but it ain't easy either! You're going to have to a put a little effort into it, and our session starts now. Sit up straight and suck it in! You heard me. Frumpy and lazy are not sexy things. You know that. Perfect posture is going to rip ten pounds right off of you and accentuate your curves, so get used to using it.

Next, we're going to take care of that body of yours! Your job is to start working out five or six days a week, and when I say work, I mean it -- don't you dare stop moving until you are drenched from head to toe with sweat. Sweat = Sexy. Trust me! (It's a rare form of sexy math and I know what I'm talking about it).

Plan to hang out by the buffet at all the fancy parties you've been invited to? Hell no! Too many pigs in blankets will make you look like a pig in a blanket. Forget the food and focus on being the most charismatic and charming guest at all the festivities. Swirl around with a smile on your face, arms free for hugs, and a mouth empty just in case a kiss should come looking for you.

Have you got your spandex and fishnets ready for action? I hope not! Those things are just tacky. Let's take a different route towards hotness. Dress in sharp clothes, that hug your body and make you feel confident. Flirting in old granny blazers is not cool.

Last but not least, start increasing the effort you put into yourself each day. The stress of the holidays could make a Maxim model look dumpy, so don't let it happen to you. In order for you to look hot, you're going to have to feel hot. Train and eat like you've got a cover shoot to prepare for, dress to impress, keep your favorite lipstick on and keep a smile on your face. When you feel like the Holiday Hottie, you'll start melting every snowman in town!
