Remember, a shapely brow is far more attractive than a pencil thin line, so be careful not to over tweeze.

Now looking good isn’t just about what beauty products you apply, you need to maintain a healthy outlook in other aspects of caring for your body, such as eating, drinking, exercising and relaxation. These all contribute to your overall well-being

Here are just a few simple tips that requires minimal effort, but will make you feel healthy right away without huge sacrifices.

1. If you drive to work, park your car further away and walk instead, even if it’s just for 5 minutes.
2. Replace lunchtime snacks with fruit bags that can easily be purchased from any supermarket, or make your own.
3. Substitute at least one or two cups of your daily intake of coffee or tea for a glass of fresh/bottled water.
4. Prepare fresh salads with tuna, chicken, beef, etc, to cut down on the amount of bread you eat during lunch times.
5. Instead of white rice at mealtimes, try brown, it tastes fantastic and will make you feel less bloated. If you love nuts, you will love brown rice.
6. Keep active after mealtimes to allow your food time to digest, you can wash the dishes, go for a light stroll or play hide and seek with the kids. Don’t sit down, this will only make you feel bloated and lethargic.
7. Listen to some quiet music 10 – 15 minutes before bed to relax the mind and body. A good quality natural lavender air spray or candle can help with relaxation.
8. Try not to drink anything that contains caffeine a few hours before bedtime, this can make you feel agitated, resulting in a restless night sleep.
9. Keep the bedroom cool by allowing the air to flow freely. This does help with breathing and your skin will feel much fresher in the morning.
10. Wherever possible, choose organic fruit, vegetables, meat, snacks, household and beauty products, etc. Not only are they healthier for you, it’s clean, it tastes good, it’s earth friendly and considerate towards our planet as well as being biodegradable.
