Time Tested Beauty Tips

Some say this is an Audrey Hepburn masterpiece, others say it was written by Sam Levenson.  Either way, I absolutely love it….

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge you’ll never walk alone.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived,  reclaimed, and redeemed; Never throw out anybody.
Remember, If you ever need a helping hand, you’ll find one at the end of your arm.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the  figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!

A hint of pink vintage

I started online window shopping today for some pretty outfits for Paris.  After browsing Rokit, I found some fab dresses that would be perfect for my trip to Paris- and any city break for that matter.  Vintage dresses are often timeless pieces that can be worn to different venues, parties and occasions and normally with a better fit and style than can be found in any high street store today.  As there are so many beautiful designs,  have focused on my top three fave pink hues.  From a very SATC style 1950’s cocktail, prom dress to a hot pink collar party dress and an elegant, sheer full length maxi.  Enjoy.

Big hair – because you’re worth it!

Big hair is back & bigger than ever.  There was Claudia Schiffer and Penelope Cruz, now quite appropriately L’Oreal Elnet snapped up Cheryl Cole as the face of their current campaign.  This really is an obvious celeb-consumer collab.  How many girls will look at this & go buy a bottle of Ellnet to look like their favourite pop princess?

I love big hair.  The bigger the better.  Fuller, thicker and bouncy hair full of volume always looks healthy and fabulous.  Whether it’s styled up or swishing around your shoulders, spritz and spray some Elnet.

Give your hair that sparkle it deserves.  Because you’re worth it.
