All day beauty! Especially at work.

My first thoughts about beauty has always been inner beauty. Your inner beauty will always reflect on your face specially your eyes. Before trying anything cosmetic on your body and face, start by thinking positively about yourself. About being honest, hard working, helpful and cheery.

Now about being beautiful all day long - we don't need huge amounts of time or make-up to stay beautiful. I know, I know, time is very limited nowadays, but little habits when changed can modify your whole day ahead. Simplest example? Well, first thing in the morning is to open your windows wide, your arms wide, as if you want to embrace the whole world (even if you see only walls in front of you - just close your eyes and do it), then take a very deep breathe and exhale slowly (this will take only 1 min - you can count!). This simple act will boost oxygen to your whole system. You will immediately feel calmer.

Then go round your usual routine, you know - shower, dressing up, breakfast. One thing I would like to mention, though some might feel disgusted - it is important to pass out stool regularly! You will feel much much better and eventually much more beautiful when this is done on a regularly basis because this is what detoxification is all about. When you expel wastes and toxins from your body, your whole systems works better. Do read more about wastes which your body produces and detoxifying your body. For those who find it difficult, you can always try eating bananas, or even better, every night, take a tablespoon of honey, mix with very warm water (just hot enough for you to drink) and drink it just before bedtime, you will surely find a difference.

Now to come back to our subject, don't be hard on yourself by trying to be someone else. If you don't want to put make up, then just don't do it. You will of course have a healthier skin. Now for those who like make up, please... please don't overdo it. The simplest make up have always been the best way to enhance your beauty. Keep to the minimum. A little moisturising cream, and some sunscreen (always!). For those who like a shiny look, just skip the powder part. Now for those who want a matte finish, a little powder, just enough to avoid the shiny face. Don't try to look fairer by applying lots of powder, its will just give you a ghostly look! Remember be positive about yourself, don't try to be someone you are not. If you have dark skin, you have dark skin, that's it! Dark
