How to Pamper Your Feet

Our feet work so hard, they carry us around all day, we run or walk miles on them and so they deserve our special care. We stand on them all day, cram them into tight shoes, high heel shoes and sweaty boots.

If your feet are dry and cracked from the weather, or just tired from a long day at work, give your feet a spa-like treatment at home by using these tips, because your feet need a bit of TLC.

A foot bath at least once a week is a great way to refresh your feet. 

1.) Fill a bowl with warm water

2.) Include some herbs, essential oils, sea salt, or olive oil.

3.) Enjoy soaking your feet for 15 to 20 minutes. 

4.) At the end, gently scrub the bottom of your feet, this will remove dead skin. 

5.) Don't forget to put a cream afterwards. Use a hydrating foot cream to  

     massage the top and bottom of your feet.

Do you want to have sexy elbows

It's amazing how much attention we pay to moisturising our body, face, the skin around the eyes, the neck, but how many of you do the same for your elbows?
We rarely think about them.

No matter how long you have been ignoring your elbows, there are few steps you can take to soften your skin and get rid of dry skin and dark patches.
It’s important to regularly care for the elbows by exfoliating and moisturizing them. This will keep them smooth and hydrated. Exfoliating is good, because it will help remove dead cells.


Do you have beautiful arms, but dark spots on your elbows?

1.) Cut a large lemon in half.
     Rub each lemon half on your elbows and cover it with plastic wrap.
     Keep cleansed area away from the sunlight by staying indoors.
    You can rub away the pulp, but do not wash your elbows for about 2 hours.
     Moisturize the area with rich moisturiser and you should see a significant difference.
     Repeat this everyday until the dark spots are eliminated.
     If you don't have lemon in your kitchen, then look for yogurt or milk. 
     Both ingredients work well as natural skin lightener and they also add moisture to your dry, rough 
     skin.

2.) Use a body exfoliating cream in the shower and scrub away those dry elbow areas (be careful not
     to make them sore) and then apply a rich moisturiser. This is best done in the evening, put a lot of
     cream and then sleep in a loose long sleeved cotton top, to allow the moisturiser to do its work.

3.) You can also use anti-wrinkle cream, if you think they are becoming a bit saggy, or too dry.

4.) During the day when you experience dry skin, use an olive oil. Make sure the area is
     nicely moisturize, cover it with a plastic wrap for 30 minutes and then remove.
     Using olive oil as a moisturizer is fantastic, it last all day and does wonders for the skin.
     I’m a true believer of using olive oil as a skin care regimen.

5.) Occasionally apply a rich foot cream for dry, rough skin to your elbows.

 

 
Remember !
Elbows are more prone to dryness and that's why they require proper care and attention, to stay soft, young and healthy.





Taking care of yourself may seem like a full-time job, but with some daily cleansing, it can be made easy. Look after yourself the natural way.

Strawberries health benefits

We all know strawberries are delicious.

I love eating fresh strawberries from the market down the home, all day long. 

They are juicy, summery, delicious, they offer a wide range of health benefits and I keep calling them superfruits.

In my personal diet, strawberry play an important role, because to have a nice skin and feel good, you always must start with a good diet.

Why I love strawberries???

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

- They are beneficial to our skin and help maintain a healthy appearance

- They are full of antioxidants

- Strawberries help promote anti-aging
- Also promote eye health

- In addition to vitamin C, strawberries are an excellent source of vitamin K and manganese

- Full of vitamin B5, vitamin B6, copper, magnesium and omega-3 fatty acids

- They are an excellent source of potassium, riboflavin and folic acid

- Improve immunity

- Are diuretic due to the high potassium content 

- Regular intake of strawberries helps reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes

- Lowering your risk of heart attack and stroke

- They are a strong antiseptic, strawberry extracts have direct anti-inflammatory effects

Strawberries are the perfect food to add to your diet as they are virtually fat free. 

Here's an easy way to get some of strawberries benefits in a minute:

Cut berry in half, rub it over your face and let it sit there for a few minutes, then rinse with warm water. Strawberries thoroughly cleanse the skin and remove excess oil and impurities. They help to tone the skin, lighten any pigmentation problems and keep smoother and softer skin.

''Remember, strawberry drinks, juices and desserts are a great way to eat them as well.''

To help your body stay healthy it is best to consume the daily-recommended portions of fruit and vegetable.

Strawberry and Blueberry Mix

For a stunning looking dessert, simply mix fresh strawberries with fresh blueberries and serve in a large glass bowl to show off the great colours. 
In the real heat of the summer, serve them in tall glasses and pour over lemonade (for kids) or champagne (for adults) just before serving.

Nivea Body Good-bye Cellulite Gel-Cream

Being a woman is a difficult business, it is a continue struggle against body fat, wrinkles and of course cellulite.

Cellulite is a word that many women fear, so how to fight it?

I have tried many different anti-cellulite before, but Nivea Good-Bye Cellulite Gel is by far the best. Interestingly enough, this gel-cream actually lives up to its label claims. 

I have been using this product for a few months, applying it twice a day and I can say it does work. 

It is easy to apply and smells wonderful.  

Plus, it leaves my skin amazingly soft and smooth (even without exfoliation).

Combined with exercise and healthy diet, this product will help reduce the look of cellulite.

It's important to follow instructions carefully and use the cream the way it's meant to be.

I recommend it to anyone.

Apply Nivea Goodbye Cellulite to problem areas (thighs, buttocks....) on a daily basis. Rub the gel cream into the skin in a circular motion until fully absorbed. Cellulite creams should be massaged onto the affected area. By massaging, you stimulate blood flow into the area, encouraging fat burn and cellulite reduction.

What else can you do to stop cellulite?

- Leading a healthy diet and regularly exercising can also contribute further to the reduction of
  cellulite.

- My favorite sport is cycling. Cycling is another great way to get a good workout and exercise your
  legs at the same time.

- Skin brushing, it helps remove dead skin cells and stimulates circulation to assist in the reduction
  of cellulite.

- A healthy diet filled with lean protein, fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as plenty of water, can
  help reduce the appearance of cellulite. Eat a healthy balanced diet and detox from time to time to
  clean your system from toxins.


Remember, it’s never too late to change. By changing bad eating habits and by exercising, you can improve your overall health and get rid of that cellulite.
