Beauty Tip of the Day: Eat, Drink, Sleep

Sounds like a no brainer, but a few of the most important things you can do for your body (hair, skin, nails etc) is to eat nutritious food, drink lots of water (kick that soda habit), and get plenty of sleep (which seems impossible but that's what Saturday's are for).

If you have a healthy diet with small, simple splurges (just a spoonful of Ben & Jerry's not the whole pint!) your body will reward you with better hair, nails and skin.  Remember there are basically 3 food groups: salt, fat, and sugar.  Most processed foods (frozen dinners, chips, box meals, cereals etc) have either too much salt, fat or sugar.

I know many women who diet and drink a ton of diet soda all day.  They wonder why their complexion is terrible and why the weight isn't dropping.  Cut out the soda!  If you hate the plain taste of water add lemons or limes.  It sounds silly but it works!

Most of us are in a cycle of fast forward and always stressed out...overloaded!  You could benefit from real rest/sleep.  Turn off the electronics, turn on the radio.  Go outside. Step away from the TV and computer.  Give yourself some real time to unwind by taking a hot bath or shower.  Start out with just 15 minutes of quiet time and move up a little each week and you'll see improvement.  Drive with the radio off and the windows down. Or my favorite...go into the bathroom, lock the door and read your favorite magazine.  If you need a beauty or food magazine just let me know I have plenty!

Tuesday Surprise: Demeter Fragrance thanks to MyGlamBag n/k/a Ispy

Nothing like coming home from work to discover a package just for you!  In this case my fragrances from Demeter arrived which instantly brightened my day!  I received a sample of Clean Skin Roll On perfume oil in my August 2012 MyGam Bag and I really liked it. So I became a fan of Demeter and spent a lot of time going through their amazing selection of fragrances to try and decide what I wanted to try along with the Clean Skin. I finally made my choices and today I came home to a box full of wonderful scents!

 

I chose Amber and Sandlewood because they are they are two of my favorite scents.  At first sniff they appear to be softer than I imagined and didn't make me sneeze like some perfumes.

My free sample was a huge 1.0 oz bottle of Chryanthemum that is very very pleasing to my nose and it may end up being one of my favorites!

I chose Clean Skin and Snow in this great size for keeping in my purse.  The Clean Skin smells fantastic and I having a feeling I'll be ordering more of this soon!

I took a chance on Snow because it sounds cool and reminds me of snowflakes.  I'm not quite sure what to make of this yet...it has a crisp smell to it but reminds me more of rain than snow.  But hey they both are made of water!

All in all I am very happy with my purchase!  I would like to thank MyGlam Bag for providing me with such a unique and wonderful sample.  I'm giving Demeter props for their packaging skills as my purchase was safe and tightly snug in a box of bubble wrap. (who doesn't love bubble wrap?!?)
