Do it anyway xoxo

“People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.”

Mother Teresa

Mirror, mirror on the wall xoxo

Feeling uncomfortable in my own body was a nightmare. I had suddenly ballooned and I did not know what to do!!

I had lost control and felt as if I were walking around inside a stranger's body; nothing seemed to fit and my stomach was showing through my clothes!!! (Insert hand over face) I ran (let me tell the truth... lol...I walked to the bus stop and got the bus a few stops to the west end). 

...Hunting for control pants as if they were my lifeline, I found a good fit! Thank God I thought... They worked...

Control pants were not the answer, yes they covered up what I did not want to see but they did not deal with the issue. As time went on they began to hide a little less and I had to make the decision to change, the decision to be the best me I could be and hiding wasn’t the answer.


My first step was to get my mind to think long term, what were the consequences of overeating, I then had to take a good look at myself, strip out of my clothes and look at the direction my body was taking once I had done these I had to acknowledge the consequences all this had on my emotions, self esteem and self worth. It was a lot to take in but I had to force myself to do it. Doing this encouraged me to make better decisions for me, my health, body and self esteem.


Big, medium or small, boy or girl, black, white, or asain, 18, 21 or 41 if you're someone who is blasé about your health, I encourage you to take it seriously, speak to a family member or a doctor if you have any concerns because it could mean life or death. xoxo

The beauty of a woman by Audrey Hepburn xoxo

"The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows and the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years."

Fabulosity Awaits You xoxo

Creating a new hairstyle is never easy because it’s so much more than a hairstyle you want!!!

Let’s be honest ladies, you want a style that oozes sexy, easy to manage and highlights everything from the arches in your perfectly threaded eyebrows to the fullness of your supple lips! I know; I’ve been there... Hours in front of the mirror, browsing Google Images and franticly searching magazines as your stylist asks you; ‘What would you like to do today?.’ 

In that moment your heart sinks, you have no idea and as much as you adore your stylist you don’t want them to have complete control over your pride and joy; so you leave with the same hairstyle you left with on your last visit because it’s your safest option! 

But after the storm there is joy!!!  I am sharing and will continue to share this fabulosity! Below are a few hairstyles I love because they are all so sexy.

Enjoy x

Achieve and maintain luscious lips with this simple guide! xoxo

I love my lips, they are one of my favourite features and because they are so important to me, I protect them. Our lips are prone to become dry in both warm and adverse weather conditions so it is important to shield them from the affects of good and bad weather. Exfoliating once a week will remove dead skin and help maintain soft, smooth lips. To exfoliate your lips you will need to mix sugar and a few drops of water until the mixture is at an applicable texture. Once this is complete cover your lips with the mixture and using a soft toothbrush; lightly brush your lips applying small circular motions. Once you are satisfied this is complete, splash a some cold water on your lips, to remove the remaining sugar; then rub a coat of Vaseline on your lips to lock in the moisture.

Now that you have completed the exfoliation process you need to maintain your lips so they stay soft and smooth. To do this you will need to apply a thick coat of Vaseline before you go to bed at night, this is important because the Vaseline will moisturise your lips while you sleep. Further to this when you wake up in the morning gently wipe away any excess Vaseline. After brushing your teeth splash your lips with cold water and apply a coat of Vaseline to your lips to lock in moisture.

Important

It is important you use a soft toothbrush, using a medium of hard toothbrush is too harsh for your lips and can result in your lips being permanently discoloured.

Try not to lick your lips, instead apply Vaseline or a lip balm if you think they are becoming dry. Licking your lips does not apply moisture to your lips it dries then out.

Drinking lots of water is a good way to improve your digestion, stay healthy and make your lips look plumper and smoother
