FEELING THE PINCH TO LOSE AN INCH? OR FEELING THE FIZZ?
The summer is here!
Hooray! Now whether
you’re spending your
breaks at home or away,
one thing we’ll all be
doing is showing a little
more flesh than usual
(unless it’s raining – UK
readers only I expect!)
But will you dare to bare
like those preened and
perfected celebrities or
will you opt for just ankles
and forearms?
Today’s women are under
constant pressure from
every which way to LOOK
good (article usually next
to advert for expensive
rejuvenating face cream), FEEL good (yoga, pilates/soya products) and BE good (only one
glass of wine with you Quorn stir-fry and palm full of acai berries). So, can we do it? Can we
knuckle down and follow the trends? And do we want to?
Here are my FIVE top tips for
feeling good no matter what you
decide!
1. If the latest fashion trends
aren’t your style – buck it! You’ll
feel way more comfortable in a
style that suits YOU!
2. The perfect skin doesn’t exist!
We
all
have
different
combinations. Use what you’ve
always used on your skin. If it
works why change it? Are
creams with gold flakes in them
really going to make that much
difference to anything but your bank
balance?
3. If you can’t afford a gym membership just get out in the fresh air and walk! Fresh air is
free and unlimited and you can take people with you! Dog? Children? Hot guy from across
the road you smile at sometimes…just saying!
4. New fruits and vegetables with funny names probably won’t make you live longer. Our
grandparents were brought up on apples and cabbage! My nan is 84 and she’s never been
near a kumquat!
5. Love the skin you’re in – you’ll win! Confidence comes with relaxing into yourself. We all
think there are parts of us we could improve, but most of the time those are the parts other
people love about us! Celebrate your uniqueness!
