Summer Beauty

Unless I am abroad I like to wear make up during the summer. However it is lighter that usual. Read my tips and avoid the makeup slide.


Moisturiser

 It is important to continue moisturising even though you are using sun cream lotion. Our skin becomes drier after being exposed to the sun and air conditioning. Plus clothes are getting smaller and who wants white patchy legs! I am using Garnier Skin Naturals Summer Body Moisuriser Lotion Light at the moment, it has a gradual tanner which is great for when I get the pinns out. I use this every time I finish showering. 


Exfoliation

Exfoliating every other day stimulates and renews skin cells. During the summer you will be using sun cream lotion, after sun and more moisturiser; exfoliating will help to clear the skin of excess oils and help you to gain a clearer complexion. I use St Ives Scrub for my face, I always feel really invigorated after using. For my body Soap and Glory's Sugar Crush- smells amazing.


SPF Protection

SPF 15- 30 is what you should be using. Choose a foundation that has a built in SPF. I use Benefits Hello Flawless. It has SP 25, and is a brightening foundation. If you can get away with less cover use a BB cream or tinted moisturiser (Jel!).


Keep makeup simple

Keep it simple - water proof mascara, lip tint and a shimmery blush and or bronzer
Avoid the makeup slide!

I also love wearing a bright coral nail varnish on hands and toes. 
I carry a Nivea chap stick in my handbag at all times.


Hope that you find this helpful!

Selfish

Selfish: devoted to or caring only for oneself; 
concerned primarily with one's own interests, benefits,    welfare,etc.,regardless of others.


My selfish aka Cray breakthrough.


I have been in a relationship for just over three years. When I first met Max I wanted him to spend all his spare time with me and looking back that was incredibly selfish. It bred from my own insecurities.
However my attitude was destructive and pushed my partner away. We were together but unhappy.

6 months into the relationship I relaxed, backed off and started to do more for myself and see more of my own friends. I was happier, and appreciated how important time on my own, and time my with friends was. In a way I was still being selfish but in an enhancing way.

3 years later we both appreciate that each other need their own time and time to be their own person. In fact this makes the partnership stronger. I wish that I had not been so selfish aka cray at the beginning but it happened and I certainly learned from it. 

If you are with a selfish partner, understand that they are most probably just insecure. However they do need to change and if they are not prepared to the relationship will fail. I am glad I had my breakthrough in the early days. 

So how can you stop selfish feelings interfering?

* Stop being focused on how you feel and what you want out of the relationship and start giving, you will notice that you will start to get more of a positive response. You never know he may turn down the beer session with the lads (but you have obviously made plans that involve cocktails by now!)

*Understand how having a selfish attitude effects your well-being. Selfish people are not happy, unhappy people are unattractive. You are damaging the relationship not protecting it.


Remember that the above points can be implemented immediately and they will start to have an instant affect.
