Styling all ready done for you!!



Some of us are really good at buying complete outfits, especially when you know exactly what type of “look” your trying to create. On the flip side, when you least expect it you see that gorgeous top, pair of shoes, accessories, dress, jacket and BAM you fell in love with it and your walking out the store, purchase in hand! Sometimes these one off purchases can be the items that sit in your wardrobe with the price tags still hanging on months later, then you find yourself saying one night before drinks “I have nothing to wear!”

I came across this really helpful UK fashion site that piece together outfit ideas which you can also purchase online from their website (their price point is really reasonable). Or you can replicate similar styles with what you already have at home! I found that once seeing these outfits already put together it gave me motivation and inspiration to dig through my own wardrobe for similar items. I also saved the images for future reference next time I am stumped for an outfit!

I’ve shared a few of my fav outfits/styles with you all below – Hope you enjoy!

5 HOT tips for a healthy glowing skin!


1                1.  EAT THE RIGHT FOODS
-       Nuts – Walnuts (good fatty acids)
-       Low Fat Dairy - yoghurt (vitamin A)                                         
-       Eggs (iron)
-       Blueberries, Strawberries & plums (antioxidants)
-       Oranges (vitamin C)
-       Salmon (omega 3&6 = moisture)



 




2                2.    DRINK WATER & GREEN TEA
-   Water: reduces puffiness, adds radiance and gives you bright, clearer eyes
           (you should be drinking 8 glasses per day) 
      -     Green Tea: gets rid of toxins from the body and helps fight infection



                       





3                3.     SUPPLEMENTS FOR THE SKIN
-       Milk Thistle Liver Cleanse: Helps reduce dark under eye circles, eczema and dermatitis – all of which the liver is responsible for


                                   


-       Zinc: Helps assist in the healing of acne and also maintains collagen and elastic fibres in the  skin, which prevents loss of elasticity, which in turn gives you a more youthful complexion
-       Silica: Keeps skin, hair, teeth and nails in a healthy strong condition       



   
           


4               4.    BASIC SKINCARE
           A daily routine of cleanse, tone and moisturize is VITAL!
-       Cleanse = takes away make-up, excess oil and dirt on the skin
-       Tone = rehydrates, softens and refines the skins surface
-       Moisturize = Keeps hydration locked into the skin cells
** Extra treatments that will boost your skins glow and overall appearance include:
    Exfoliation, hydration masks, intensive serums and eye creams






5                5.    SLIP SLOP SLAP!
-       Sunscreen will keep your skin from pigmentation; premature ageing and most importantly, it will protect you against skin cancer!!

It's gonna be a bronzed summer!


Bronzed Goddess


Ever wondered how to wear bronzer correctly? Scared of looking like an orange?
Well if you want to appear perfectly bronzed and golden follow these few simple steps:

FIND the perfect shade of bronzer that will suit YOUR skin tone! Head to your local department store, pick your favourite brand and try before you buy! This is the best way to do it! Let the experts advise you!
                                                                                     

    


 
      INVEST in a bronzer brush! Not the one you use for your powder or blush, buy one just for your bronzer! A bronzer brush will have wide fat bristles and will do half the work for you! A good quality brush made from real hair will last for years with a bit of TLC!




      APPLY to the face evenly in the shape of a W. Think of the letter W when applying the bronzer, follow the diagram below to achieve an even glow and become a “bronzed goddess”

S    Sweep your bronzer brush from your ear down to the apple of your cheek, then sweep your brush up to the bridge of your nose, back down to the apple of your cheek on the opposite side of your face, then diagonally up to your other ear. You can also put a little on your chin to finish off.

      Tip - remember to tap off the excess bronzing powder before you start!
