Seasons Greetings 2013

 

 

 

 

 

Hi Everyone

Its that time of year again where we celebrate the festive season and if you are a Beauty Bulletin member I am sure you are planning to celebrate in style.

The festive season can be rough especially on women; in between cooking succulent meals for your family. hosting glamorous parties and events and always looking fabulous remember to take some time out just for you.

Its important for us women to take care of and preserve our health and beauty. After all we are the flag bearers of our families and communities.

So here are some basic pamper tips to guide you during the festive season:

Firstly, if you are planning on travelling, make sure you pack travel seize items of all your beauty essentials and nutritional supplements. These can include cleansers, moisturisers, sunblock for the beach, shampoo and conditioner as well as treatment products. The change in season can sometimes cause havoc with skin and hair so we need to be prepared. Its important to only take what you need and make sure you use it. Make up and expensive fragrances, only if you really want  to

Secondly, sneak away every so now and then for some me time. Even if it just to pause and reflect on what has happened today and to plan for tomorrow. Quiet time can do wonders for relaxation. Combine this with a lovely cup of rooibos teas and we are good to go.

Thirdly avoid the urge to nibble all the time. You know what they say: A moment on the lips and forever on the hips.. If you must snack in between meals chose a healthy option like dried fruits, fresh fruits, crackers and cheese (not too many) and cheese sticks. Drink plenty of water to stay healthy and hydrated all summer long. Take good care of your body and it will take care of you.

Fourthly, I don't know anyone that doesn't enjoy a luxurious bubble bath every now and then so please trust yourself to one. Prepare and plan a bath ritual which will include things like  scented candles, a good facial mask or scrub, a body scrub, bath salts and bubble bath and some soft music to relax you. Treating your hair to a lovely herbal hair mask is also a great idea.
 Soak all your troubles away and feel refreshed and revitalised.
 
Lastly, do not neglect your skin. Wear sunblock when heading out into the scorching heat, make good use of your treatment products at least once a week and make sure you get plenty of rest for a healthy, glowing skin.
 
I would like to wish one and all a fantastic festive season filled with joy, happiness and wonderful family get tog ethers.

Looking forward to a prosperous 2014.
