Re-shape your brows
So you’ve had a few eyebrow waxes, but plucking is so much easier right? Have a look in the mirror, study your eyebrows – is there shape and symmetry? Plucking for a long period of time impacts on your shape, and if you’re thinking ‘what shape?’ it’s time to put down the tweezers and go ‘bush’ for 6-8 weeks. Not plucking during this period is imperative to re-shaping from scratch.
Your best shape eyebrows will change over time too, as your weight and haircut does, so make sure you get an eyebrow re-shape with a beauty professional every 12 months.
Waft a new scent
A new year, a new scent! If you haven’t already been on the receiving end of ‘Christmas’ perfume, it’s time to push aside the Baby Doll you’ve been wearing since 2004 and reinvent your scent.
As the years go by, you’ll find your nose maturing and developing and the perfume you wear should reflect that, and where you are in life. So get spraying – and don’t forget to spray on your skin, not the cardboard sample strips – as your skin’s acidity levels can effect the overall scent.
Re-match your face
If you haven’t changed your foundation in more than 6 months, it’s time to clean out that make-up case.
It’s ideal to update your foundation twice a year with seasons to ensure the perfect colour match, but your ‘hue’ isn’t the only thing that changes with age and seasons – so to does your skin’s needs.
Make an appointment with a beauty therapist to have a professional colour match and ensure your potion is working hard for your skin’s needs, not just ‘matching.’
Drink more water
It’s a no brainer, but many of us need to be reminded. Make 2010 the year of hydration and aim to drink 8 glasses a day – your digestive system, hair and skin will thank you.
Drinking water can also assist with the relief of a mild headache, motion sickness and stomach aches, as well as helping to calm nerves.
Based on more than twenty years of clinical and scientific research into the role of health benefit of water for the body, Dr. F. Batmanghelidj MD, a pioneering physician and acclaimed author of ” “Water: For Health, for Healing, for Life: You’re Not Sick, You’re Thirsty!” writes that water has many serious benefits too, including the treatment of depression, osteoporosis, joint pain and assisting with weight loss and eye health.
Get bra fit-ted!
You may have stayed the same dress size for 5 years, but chances are – your breasts havent. Regardless of age it’s important to have a re-fitting every 12 – 24 months, depending on your overall weight fluctuation.
Bra crimes like ‘the saggy bust,’ ‘the four boob effect,’ and wires poking out can all be avoided with a bit of breast friend love.
For the right fit, bend forward, lift and place your breasts into the cups. Or better yet, seek advice from a bra fitter – that’s what they’re there for. The right bra will take kilos off your overall look and act as an instant confidence boost.
