swim wear

if  your about to go off on your holidays and still haven't bought your swim wear here's a few things to consider


pear shape ( bigger on your bottom half)  you want to go for a halter neck the halter top it will make your shoulders look wider to balance out you wider hips.
don't have frill on the bottom if you go for a pattern keep it plain on the bottoms and have the pattern on top.




apple (carry more weight round your stomach) go for a tankini or one piece it will be more flattering






athletic figure (straight up and down no hips) you can carry anything off from the stylish open suite swim suite if you want to create curves go for a frill on top and the bottom.


if your top heavy (big boobs and small waist and lean legs) you need support you boobs with a well fitting top and go for a frilly bottom to even out your bottom to your top.

HOME MADE BEAUTY TREATMENTS!

we all spend so much money on products from face masks to hair masks they all add up here are some tryed and tested home made products and it's everything you will find in your kitchen cupboards.

apple and cucumber face mask for oily skin

Ingredients:
  • 1/2cucumber; peeled and chunked
  • 1/2medium apple
  • 1 largeegg white
  • 1 teaspoonlemon juice
  • 1 teaspoonlime juice
  • 1 teaspoon or 3 leavesmint leaves
  • 2 dropslime essential oil

  • Instructions:
    Blend all of the ingredients except the essential oil in a blender. Stir in the oil last. Apply to your face and neck avoiding the eye area. Leave on for 20-minutes. Rinse off the facial mask with warm water.
     
    oatmeal and yogurt face mask for all skin types
     

    Ingredients:

    • 1 tbsp oatmeal, finely ground
    • 1 tbsp live, organic yogurt (skip the flavored stuff)
    • A few drops of honey
     
     

    Preparation:

    Add the yogurt to the oatmeal in a small bowl and mix together.
    Warm a few drop of honey. To do this, warm a spoon under hot water for a minute, then add a few drops of honey to the spoon.
    Stir the honey into the yogurt and oatmeal mixture.
    Apply the mask to the face. Leave it on for 10 minutes, then rinse off with several splashes of warm water. Follow with a warm washcloth.
    Apply moisturizer.
     
    Banana & Avocado Deep Conditioning Treatment for Dry Hair
     

    Ingredients:

    • 1 ripe banana
    • 1 ripe avocado
    • 1 tbsp of wheatgerm oil (I said to Stephanie, "Wheatgerm oil? Who has wheatgerm oil hanging around the house?" and she looked at me as if was the only person she knew who doesn't use wheatgerm oil on a regular basis). You can substitute olive oil if you, like me, don't have wheatgerm oil or time to run to your health food store for some.
    • A few drops of essential oils, such as lavender, rose, sweet orange, or jasmine. Stephanie uses essential oils to mask the smell of the wheatgerm oil.

    Preparation:

    Mash all of the ingredients in a bowl or better yet, use a blender. Shampoo hair, comb it out and towel-dry. Apply mask to hair, including the scalp if you want. Or you can just deep condition the ends. Put hair in a shower cap or wrap it in Saran Wrap and let it sit for about 15 minutes, longer if you prefer. Rinse mask out in the shower. Place a heavy duty paper towel over the drain to catch the avocado and banana bits.



    exfoliater body/face scrub

    combine sugar and olive oil mix together till a paste and then in the shower allpy to your body and face and then rince off well.

    1, drink 8 glasses of water a day yes its boring but you need to hydrate your skin.
    2, always ALWAYS  take your make up before bed, every night you leave your make up on it ages your skin by 8 yrs YEAH you'll be taking it off now won't you!
    3, cleanse, tone  and moisturise every day it only takes 5 Min's and worth it!
    4, wear a day moisturiser  with an SPF in it even when the sun isn't beaming it can still damage your skin.
