How to - Become Healthy

I have recently started to eat healthier and develop a healthier lifestyle in general. I'm not a doctor so these are just things that have been working for me over the last 2 months or so. The reason that I decided to change my eating habits and exersise more was I smoked for about 6 years of my life (social smoker) I quit in August 2012 and I have been off them ever since. I thought when I smoked that it was the reason I felt bad and not up to doing anything but my diet at the time was also terrible, revolving around pizzas etc. When I quit smoking I noticed that I didnt feel much better in myself, so one day I said lets go for it. I started small by adding food to my diet that I already liked which was better overall and less fattening, in place of foods that gave now health benefit at all . I thought this was the best way for me to end up eating healthy all the time. So thats my story now let me try help you.


Start off small

I brought some fruit into my diet for the first few weeks or so, this just helped me enjoy the taste more and more. After a few weeks, take one thing out of your diet like instead of coke drink orange juice, this worked so well for me, you just feel great that you have not strayed back to your old habits.


Exersice

I started to walk every day, I hated it at first but after a week or so you begin to enjoy the feeling of being out and about and seeing the world go by. I slowly began to jog and noticed I became faster and faster and eventully started to run. I still have a long way to go before I can run my whole route, I walk some and jog/run the rest. This helps as you regain your strength and energy when walking.

Sticking With It


My trick to sticking with my diet is to give myself a "funday" this is a day where you eat and drink what you like(within reason), this keeps me from eating junk during the week as I can say I will have that on my "funday" this is great as you have control over your food all week long until that day

 

How to - Kissable Lips

Achievement

This can be a real problem for most people during the winter and colder months of the year. Many products claim to help but I have found 2 holy grail products that have helped my chapped lips wonderfully. My problem always starts around the end of august(in Ireland its cold for a lot of the year)

Products

• Carmex lip balm (for cold sores and chapped lips)
• Vaseline Lip Therapy

Details

Vaseline Lip Therapy

Vaseline has been around a long time and their products are still as good as they ever have been. This is my fave product for my lips from this brand as it doesn't have a fruity smell which I really don't like on all day lip products. It goes well under lipsticks and lip stains and I use it every night before bed. It makes my lips feel so soft in the morning.

Carmex

Carmex I have just recently discovered when it was recommend by a friend. She had used it for a year or so and never moved from this product for her lips. I can now see why, it makes your lips super soft and great looking all day. I apply this product during the day time, I just reapply when needed.

Price

Carmex - €3.50

Vaseline -€1.99

Review - Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation

OVERVIEW!

I bought this product about 2 weeks(in the shade True Ivory), recommend by my sister who loves this for work. This foundation feels very light on your skin and is very easy to apply. I tested it with and without primer and loved the results both ways! It gives you an instant fresh faced look, great for mornings (as the name suggests).If you've had a late night this product will get rid of any fatigue that may be displayed on your face and will cover up any under eye circles. If the foundation doesn't do the trick on its own however, this line also has a concealer.  It comes in a range of six great shades but they could try to make maybe one or two more shades for darker skin tones because most of the shades are light - medium colors.

SHADES

• True Ivory
• True Nude
• Ivory
• Natural Beige
• Classic Beige
• Soft Beige

PROMISE
