Relax and distress with Origins

I am definitely suffering from the January blues!

When I was looking through my Christmas presents I thought someone was taking the mic when I got bought some Origins Peace of Mind…are people trying to say that I am a stress head??? Obviously they know me to well and that every year come January I get some kind of lurgi and feel sluggish wirh constant headaches! So Origins was by far one of the smallest but best Christmas presents I got!

It comes in a small bottle and immediately helps cure a headache and stress. It smells pretty fresh and relaxing to and is a definite must have for your handbag.

All you need to do is massage into your temples, back of your neck (perfect) and on your earlobes and you feel a tingle and with a quick reaction you feel that your mood lifts and your worries go. Sounds weird, yes…but it really does work!

A definite pick me up…

Heel your Heels

It is not very pleasant when your heels crack and can be really uncomfortable when walking. I am a sucker for high heels as I feel to short when I don’t wear them so my heels seem to be in constant agony. So I will tell you my little secret that I have recently found that keeps my heels baby smooth and means I can walk around in my heels all day without any discomfort… Lucas’ Papaw Ointment! This stuff is genius, every night when I am watching TV I add a small amount to my feet and massage in for a couple of minutes. As soon as I finish doing this my feet so soft and are prepared for another day in my high heels!

Repair your hair…

Now Christmas is over I am sure many people must have had a dabble with the hair dye ready for a new start, new look you!

I have nothing against hair dye but it does cause havoc with your hair and can leave it looking dull and lifeless. So thanks to Jo Hansford who has released a new seven-strong line of high-end hair products aimed for caring and repairing coloured hair.

If you want to add a super shine to your hair and show off your new colour you really do have to use these products. There is a selection of shampoos, conditioners and masques.

Not only do these products work they smell delightful. They are all scented with the fragrance of real grapefruit.

HAPPY NEW YEARS DAY!!!

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and great New Year!

I have woke up today feeling a tad worse for wear and in need of a serious detox and pamper. The last 2 weeks have started to catch up with me and my skin looks terrible and I look like I haven’t had any sleep in days…not a great way to start the year looking like crap but o well instead of mopping around feeling sorry for myself its time to give myself some TLC and wash off last nights makeup.

So if like myself your hair is looking lifeless after to many nights out and constantly putting your hair through intense heat and styling products the best thing to do is give your hair a good shampoo and add heaps of conditioner and massage into your head for 2 minutes and rinse. I am a brunette so will be adding some leave in shine treatment in chocolate brown from John Frieda and then blowing drying straight to show off my shiny hair.

That was the easy bit now its time to pamper my face – I have woke up with a very blotchy complexion and very attractive dark circles round my eyes…that is why I should say NO to sambukas!

Firstly I will be adding heaps of MD Formulation to get rid of every scrap of makeup and dirt off my face then adding an intense Dermalogica facial mask to draw out impurities and give some freshness and moisture back to my face. If like myself you suffer from oily skin you need to add plenty of an oil control moisturiser all over your face and neck. Instantly you will feel 10 times better and clean. To give away tell tale signs of a late night finish your regime with brightening eye drops, these have an immediate effect and add instant spark to your eyes!

Don’t forget to give your body a good all-over scrub to get rid of any dry skin cells. You need a sugar scrub and to apply to your skin and in circular motions concentrating mainly on the rough areas such as the elbows and knees. When finished add rich body moisturiser all over your skin…delightful!

When you are all clean and fresh make sure you then go out with a smile and sparkle for the next 12 months!
