Hot Lemon Water
Drink hot lemon water first thing in the morning to help flush out the body internally and reduce toxins which can cause skin sensitivities.

Attitude
Beauty is an attitude. Surround yourself with those who inspire you to recognize your inner beauty.

Brisk Walks
If you´ve had a stressful day on the job, or a spat with your friend/family member, take a brisk walk to clear the mind. You´ll be strengthening your body and relaxing at the same time.

Closet Inventory
To do a closet inventory, sort through and try on outfits, identifying which items need repair, alterations, updated accessories, etc. Make a list of any new items and accessories you´ll need to complete your wardrobe for the season.

Slimming Colors
Wearing solid, dark colors from head to toe will slim and elongate the body. Avoid horizontal stripes that would broaden your figure.

Go Easy on Blush
Blush is more commonly overapplied than any other cosmetic. Invest in a good brush for applying blush. When you can see the color on your cheeks - STOP! Blend well with sponge.

Drink Water
Drink more water and less caffiene to help alleviate stress. Water is also better for healthy skin, and lessens temptation for snacking.

Skin-friendly Scrubs
When choosing a cleansing scrub for your skin, look for a product that uses indredients other than seeds or shells as exfoliating granules (such as jojoba beads). Seed/shell granules can cause microscopic tears in the skin. Ouch!

Get 8 hrs Sleep
Get at least 8 hours of sleep at night to keep dark circles at bay, allow the body to reduce stress, and restore a fresher look to the skin.

Storing polish
Your nail polish will always be smooth and easy to apply if you store it in the refrigerator. Place gummy nail polish in a pan of boiling water to make it as good as new.

Brow Definition
For well-defined eyebrows, first brush inward, then upward, and finally outward with a light layer of brow control cream to hold the shape. This routine can ease the unruly eyebrow shape.

Shopping for Bargains
If a garment does not fit well or harmonize with your personal color scheme it´s not a bargain.

Young Teens
Young teens should use makeup sparingly: tinted lip gloss, sheer foundation, powder, soft blush and a hint of mascara.

Scarves
One of the best accessory investments you can make is a scarf, in one or more of your best colors. Not only does it bring color to your face, it can totally transform an outfit. Get the most from your existing wardrobe by adding beautiful scarves.

Counter Undereye Puffiness
To counteract undereye puffiness: drink 8 - 10 glasses of water daily, cut down on salt intake and use a special eye cream with plant extracts to tighten and firm skin around the eye. Pat, do not rub, lotion around the eye.

Basecoat and Topcoat for Nails
When polishing your nails don´t skip the basecoat or topcoat! Be skeptical of a product that says they contain all three! A basecoat is a tacky, non-shiny coat that prevents the colored polish from discoloring your nails and helps the colored polish to adhere to the nail surface. Following up with a top coat ensures shine and protection for your new manicure!

Avoid Smoking
For a much healthier complexion, avoid smoking! Smoking constricts the blood vessels in the face and leads to the breakdown of collagen, causing premature wrinkles around the eyes and mouth.

Prolong Mascara
If your mascara thickens when it reaches the end of tube, place the tube in warm water. This will help to make mascara thinner. Never add water to the tube; bacteria can form.

Keep a Journal
Keep a journal and add three positive things each day to keep a perspective on life.

Update for the Season
Update your wardrobe by adding one of the season´s hottest pieces.

Update buttons
Give any outfit a fresh new look just by changing the buttons. You´ll be surprised that such a small change can give your clothes a well needed face lift.

Evening Shoes
For a smart evening shoe choice with a dress or pants, choose one that is bare and strappy with a graceful heel.

Summer Naturals
Softly muted nudes, browns and pinks are the must-have shades of makeup primers to complement the summer season´s warmer temperatures and lighter fabrics.

Calming Chamomile
For a calming effect after your evening bath use a body lotion containing chamomile. To try: The Healing Garden´s ZZZtherapy Silk Pajamas body lotion with chamomile, vanilla and orange blossom.

Fabric Savvy
The best fabric blends for clothing are 70% natural and 30% synthetic; much easier wear and care. The exception would be 100% polyester blouses. The good ones look and feel like silk and are easy to care for.

Eye Contour
When applying shadow makeup to add depth to your eye, use a dark neutral color like gray as a base in the contour area of the eyelid. Never over-do any color around the eyes.

Hair Accessories
Give a sparkling look to your seasonal hair style by adding hair accessories, such as python-printed headbands, barrettes or ponytail holders. Casual best in winter, bold for summer months.

Make Small Eyes Look Bigger
If you have small eyes and want to give the impression of larger eyes, you want to stay with lighter eyeshadow shades.
