looking good half naked !

nAKED
Yeh Right!

Well summer is almost her so its time to prepare your body for looking good on the beach , i.e. half naked!

This time of year always seems to creep up on me even though I have had 5 months to prepare for it. Its always a last minute dash to the detox counter in bid to shed at least 1 stone , tone and tigten my bod and all from drinking a few cups of green tea .. well in my dreams!

No it requires a change in my entire thinking process . Focus and gruelling early morning runs !

I am again embarking on running , walking , cycling and stetching with a determination and routine that would impress even Ranolph Fiennes ! Well it is week one !

If however all that you can manage is the Detox .. well thats great too . when im feeling tired I switch all drinks to water and green tea and within a couple of days I feel such a difference .

So even making little changes can help loads.

So if like me you dread bikini time .. get yourself on detox first even that alone will get you more in the mood for unveiling your naked bod !

Lets go shopping !


Most women that I have met all have all had the same complaint about their make-up and its "How do we know where to start when shopping for the right foundation colours and products that are right for us ?" .. They say that every time the seem to come away with the wrong colour or the wrong or coverage for them and and a few extra products that they didn't even need . Can I tell you a secret ... sshhh .. quietly ....
Cosmetic houses train their assitants to SELL ! and LINK sell at that ! I know I have been one of their sales girls and we were encouraged to compete with each other quite ruthlessly to see who could get the most sales from ONE customer and be top sales person for the company ! So ladies I'm afraid that is what you are at the mercy of a glamorous group of very astute and trained sales people.
Even if you are lucky enough to wander straight to the right counter first time and choose the correct product you still have to deal with the sales girl !
This is why it is such a good idea to book a make-up lesson with a professional make-up artist as we have no particular loyalty to one company and will show you exactly what products suit you best choosing from as many companies as we choose. So take the trauma out of it and make it fun .
I have started a shopping service to I will be your personal make-up stylist and will come shopping with you and you will be guaranteed to leave the counters this time having purchased only products that you need and that are the perfect colour match for you and your skin.
