Your Ultimate Guide to Looking Hot on The Beach

For most of us, a trip to the beach is one of the best things about summer. Whether you are off on a family holiday, a relaxing day alone or a fun weekend with friends, a trip to the beach can be an amazing part of your summer. However, many of us worry about looking our best when we shed the layers ready to catch some sun. Looking natural, glamorous and beach ready can be tough, so here’s a handy guide to help you get it just right.

Start Looking After Yourself

The best way to make sure you’re looking great and beach ready is to start looking after yourself all year around. Some of the best ways to do this include:

  • Eating right. A healthy and balanced diet doesn’t mean starving yourself or cutting out certain foods. It means balance. If you eat well the odd treat won’t hurt.
  • Try to add some cardio and strength training to your weekly routine. If you struggle to find time make some small changes to your day to day life, such as walking instead of driving and taking the stairs instead of the elevator. There are also some great videos on YouTube if you can’t get out of the house to exercise.
  • Drink water. Water is a bit of a miracle worker when it comes to looking and feeling great. It’ll help you feel full so less likely to over indulge as well as keeping your skin youthful and tight.
  • Be sure to get a good night’s sleep as often as possible. This will help keep you feeling alert and looking brighter.
  • Look after your skin. Start a healthy skin care routine. This should include using a body brush to remove dead skin cells and boost circulation, exfoliating your face once a week to unclog your pores, moisturizing, cleansing and wearing a high SPF sunscreen when you go outside.

Hair

Simple styles look best on the beach. Go for beachy waves with a little sea salt spray if you want long flowing locks. If you are going to be playing with kids, or running around, consider a simple braid which looks cool and keeps your hair out of the way. Investing in a good leave in conditioner is a good idea if you plan to spend a lot of time at the beach as salt, sand and sun can leave your hair dry and damaged.

Makeup

A face covered in heavy makeup isn’t a great idea at the beach. It will be uncomfortable, hot and you could look a bit silly. Instead, opt for light coverage in natural and nude shades. Mix your normal foundation with some moisturizer for a gentle tone which will leave your face soft and healthy. Add some lip balm with added SPF and a sweep of highlighter for a glamourous beachy look.

Swimwear

Getting your swimwear right can be key to both looking and feeling amazing at the beach. There are many options available so you can show as much flesh as you feel comfortable with. Bikinis come in a range of different shapes and sizes but womens tankinis might make a better option if you are going to be running after kids or trying some water sports. If you feel uncomfortable, don’t be afraid to cover up. Adding board shorts or a kaftan can look trendy and glamourous too.

Clothes

Firstly, sand gets everywhere, so take spare clothes. Whatever you wear on the beach, you’re not going to want to be travelling home or to your hotel with sand everywhere. There will be chaffing. If you want to continue your beach style when you cover back up, consider maxi dresses, skirts or beach trousers teamed with a light cami for a stylish and sophisticated look.

When it comes to accessories for both style and comfort you’ll need a hat and sunglasses. Hats with wide brims and some neck cover are safest. And, make sure your sunglasses offer UV protection.

Relax

The best way to look great at the beach is to enjoy yourself. So, whether you are trying some new sports, building sandcastles with the kids, or lying on the beach reading a good book, don’t worry about your look. Smile and relax. Confidence is incredibly sexy. So, put a smile on your face and be proud of your body. You might find that if you act confident, you’ll start to feel it.

Remember, most women (and some men) are worried about how they look. That means they don’t have time to look at you! No one judges at the beach, so strip off, have fun and forget everyone else.

There’s nothing like giving a little minx for Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day gift shopping does not have to be expensive. You won’t have to break the bank with the MinxNY Kissables Spa Collection. Pamper that special someone with an array of luxurious spa pieces for her to enjoy spa treatment at home. I’ll bet she doesn’t have any of these spa pieces:

The Kissables Spa Collection Exfoliating Mitt is amazing. Finally, an exfoliating Mitt that won’t fall off your hand while washing. The mitt is made of a unique fabric texture that easily removes surface layers of buildup from your body and dead skin instantly. The best part is you can exfoliate with just water. This mitt does not require chemicals, only water to deep clean, minimize and reduce clogged pores of ingrown hairs and dirt. You will notice smooth glowing skin after the first use. After use simply ash and hang to dry.

No Soap needed with The Kissables Spa Collection Make-up Remover & Exfoliating cloth . This is a 2-in-1 cloth and I’ve never seen anything like it.  One side removes makeup with just water, and the other side is a gentle exfoliator and it’s so soft!  This cloth will remove cosmetics, including waterproof mascara without the use of harmful chemicals or synthetic makeup removers. This cloth is easy to clean and is ideal for travel. This remarkable cloth will last up to 1000 washes.

The Kissables Spa Collection  Shower Cap has to be the most comfortable shower cap I have ever used. The outside is 100% waterproof and will keep your hair dry and your hairdo intact. The cap has a  soft cotton-polyester terry lining which wicks away perspiration even in the steamiest shower or bath. Each shower cap includes a travel bag and is great for traveling. If you shower daily but don’t wash your hair each time, this is the perfect shower cap.

I no sooner opened my 2-pack of Kissables Fluffy Chenille Socks and my daughter and her friend claimed them on the spot.  They are quite unique as they are lavender infused and have non slip grips on the bottom. They are comfy soft and as my daughter’s friend said,  “wow, you can really smell the lavender”.  At least I have my shower cap, exfoliating mitt and make-up remover cloth to enjoy when I want to pamper myself.

Mother’s Day is just around the corner so check out  www.minxny.com and purchase your Kissables Spa Collection. You will find the collection affordable and fabulous!

3 Ways to Curb Your Appetite

I get questions from you guys and one question has been consistent over the last few months. The number one question I have been getting as of late is “How do I curb my appetite?” I am so pleased that you guys are exercising and making mindful changes in your diet. You are fighting the good fight, but sometimes it gets tough and boy do I know it. So, I figured I would answer it in an article. I get it, when you are watching what you’re eating, making sure you are eating the right portions and you are hungry an hour later, it’s frustrating. Here are a few things you can do to suppress your appetite enough to make it to your next planned meal time.

Drink – When you are done with your meal and still feel a little rumble in your tummy, grab your cup. You can have water or even green tea. Make sure you drink at least 2 glasses (which is a water bottle). Many times, when we think we are hungry we are thirsty. You can also switch it up and have something hot. Coffee or tea is good, be mindful of what you put in it. Sip it slow and savor it.

Brush – It sounds weird but pack that toothbrush in your purse or briefcase. When you are trying to focus on your work but your stomach is grumbling and is focusing on food. It’s hard not to keep checking your watch to see if it’s time to eat and it’s not. Step away for a moment take a break. Grab your toothbrush and head to the restroom, brush your teeth for at least 2 minutes. By brushing your teeth, you disrupt your thoughts of eating and most people don’t want to eat right after they brush. It could hold you over till meal time. Trust me it works and not only have you held off the munchies, your teeth will be pearly white.

Chew Gum – When your stomach is talking to you, it is hard to ignore it. However, you can distract it a bit by chewing gum. Chewing gum sends signals to your brain that you are full and chase away those cravings and hunger pangs.

Stay strong make sure you are eating enough protein, fiber rich foods and eat calories vs drinking them. Implement the tricks as needed, they will help you get through those 3 – 4 hours till your next meal. You will hit your target.

Weight Watchers Diet – Lose Weight And Feel Great

If there was a weight loss plan that allowed you to:

  • Lose weight safely and permanently.
  • Be rewarded you for weight loss.
  • Follow easy plans and
  • Be part of a community that helped you in your fitness goals..

..would you not love to be part of such a plan?

Well, you do not have to wait and look around anymore because the Weight Watchers diet is all this and more.

Holistic approach

The Weight Watchers diet is all about your whole health status. Yes, weight loss is a central aim but overall health is of paramount importance. This approach extends to their diet plans as well. It is, therefore, all about:

  • Making healthier eating choices.
  • Making behavioral changes that help.
  • Focusing on nutritional values of food items.
  • Allowing an individual to eat whatever they want but
  • Making eating a smart and points-based activity.

How does it work?

Every food has a value assigned by the Weight Watchers diet program. It is known as SmartPoints® and it is based on a combination of sugar, protein content, saturated fats and calories of course. You have to follow a certain budget and choose foods according to the same and keep going on your path to fitness.

There are also FitPoints® that you can notch up when you indulge in specific exercises such as walking, gardening and so on. Everything can be synchronized with your fitness device and your Weight Watchers account. You can reference and keep track of your exercise, weight loss, nutrition goals and so on.

What’s interesting?

The Weight Watchers diet differs from most other diet plans in one major area – it does not forbid anything. So, go ahead, eat whatever you want.

But…

The rider is that you stay within your SmartPoints target. You are allowed meet a daily target and you can choose to spend your SmartPoints on alcohol and desserts, fruits and veggies or ice creams and cakes. Interesting isn’t it? Obviously, low-calorie foods and healthy options cost fewer points.

How easy is it?

There are two main aspects to this diet that make it pretty easy to follow:

  • Nothing is taboo when it comes to food.
  • It is aimed at the long-term weight loss goal.

There is nothing drastic about this plan. So, you will find yourself making long-term habit changes over a course of time which makes it easier to stay within a healthy eating pattern.

Mental and physical

Weight loss is not just the physical aspect of life. Here is where the Weight Watchers diet scores high over a large number of diets out there. With their ‘Beyond the Scale’ program, Weight Watchers has been able to get people around to knowing and internalizing the fact that weight loss takes place only when they eat healthy, choose personalized fitness plans and make changes to their mindset as well.

This kind of overall program helps people make consistently healthy choices rather than weaving in and out of healthy and unhealthy eating. The weight loss is sustained and made permanent too.

Introducing RARE 24K Therapy Crème for non-toxic pain relief form arthritis, muscle strains ,and joint pain.

 

 

               RARE 24K
  Skincare-Therapy Crème

 

Over the years, I’ve tried various pain patches, creams, and lotions for my neck and back discomfort, but never achieved the relief that I desired.

If you’re like me, and not too keen on taking over the counter pain pills, or toxic painkillers for muscle aches and pains,  arthritis, or joint pain,  the new innovative RARE 24K Gold Therapy Crème has arrived and is ready to help ease your pain!  You may also add RARE 24K Gold Therapy Creme to your doctor’s prescribed regime.

Here is the secret behind  the outstanding RARE 24K Gold Therapy Crème:

RARE was created by using a synergistic approach with the new, compatible, and recently patented Auregen gold particles Partnered with organic blue algae, this combination of proven to be ‘non-toxic antioxidants and anti-inflammatory elements are not only innovative,  cutting edge, and state -of-the-art technology, but offer the next generation of non-invasive therapy’ that works quickly to provide relief to your sore joints, muscles, and body aches.

Along with finding RARE’s ‘patented gold particles to be non-toxic’.  The University of Colorado School of Pharmacy proclaimed it to have “Excellent Cellular absorption.”  ‘Scientifically proven, RARE’s patented non-toxic Auregen® gold particles are absorbed into our bodies then bind with the free radicals and pass through the body, helping to eliminate the excessive oxidation.  Free radicles are the result of oxidative stress, the loss of electrons in our bodies, which cause an imbalance and break down our cells.’

Auregen” navigates through the body donating electrons where needed without becoming a free radicle itself. A 10mg dose contains 50quadrillion atoms. Each with an electron to donate.”~ TL Roberts, inventor of Auregen®

RARE’S well structured Therapy Crème is NOT a drug!  ‘It’s natural, non-toxic compounds, actually nourish the skin as it penetrates with bioactive compounds that provide a natural, homeopathic clinical formula that comes with  proven results to deliver effective relief.’

Blue Algae is an emollient that’s abundant with ‘amino acidsanti-oxidants, and bio-active compounds’. It’s often known for its anti-aging properties, but this ‘chlorophyll rich anti-inflammatory’ also assists the collagen in our bodies by helping to prevent the breakdown of the ‘collagen cushion‘  around our joints!

Oats are naturally full of amino acids, and have been known and used for centuries to help the healing process! The amino is a result of their chemical structure, amino acids derived from Oats create a natural barrier on the top layer of skin that provides anti-inflammatory benefits as it reduces the appearance of redness and irritation.’

I’ve  experienced very positive results using RARE 24K Gold Therapy Crème. It’s very lightweight, easy to apply, and penetrates quickly. After using RARE, I realized that throughout the day I was no longer constantly bothered with my pain and discomforts.  I personally use RARE in the morning, and just before I go to bed, and I’m very thrilled that it’s a natural product without drugs.

RARE 24K Gold Therapy Crème  gets a 5-⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️   review!  Congratulations and ongoing success with RARE!!

GET THE LOOK: Riley Keough in Avon

NEW YORK, NY – MAY 01: Riley Keough attends the “Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garcons: Art Of The In-Between” Costume Institute Gala at Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 1, 2017 in New York City. (Photo by Neilson Barnard/Getty Images)

Inspiration: Beau’s inspiration for Riley, who is attending  with Louis Vuitton, was cool French girl – flawless and natural.

FACE: To start, Beau used Avon True Color Flawless Liquid Foundation in Light Beige and Avon True Color Flawless Concealer Stick in Fair to create a canvas for the rest of the look. To warm up Riley’s cheeks, he applied a combination of Avon True Color Luminous Blush in Warm Flush with Avon True Color Bronzing Pearls in Sunkissed for an added natural glow.

EYES: The eye was kept neutral and Beau used the shades in the Avon True Color 8-in-1 Eyeshadow Palette in Not So Neutral across the eyelid and into the brow bone. Next, he created natural, separated and voluminous lashes, by swiping on a few generous coats of NEW Avon True Color SuperExtend Nourishing Mascara in Black. 

LIPS:To create a soft, natural lip, he lined Riley’s lip with Avon True Color Glimmersticks Lip Liner in Pink Cashmere, a natural pink color, to match the natural pink shade of NEW Avon True Color Nourishing Lipstick in Peony Blush.

BROWS: Beau wanted the brows to be a bold statement and to finish he created a dark brow to contrast the rest of the look. He filled in and darkened Riley’s brows with two products: first with Avon True Color Glimmersticks Brow Definer in Brunette and then with Avon True Color Fiber Full Eyebrow Gel in Dark Brown to set them.
