A couple of weeks ago I was attending a Rosemount Wine lunch for Fashion Week and was chatting to one of their winemakers. He told me something quite interesting. Did you know that wine makers are given dental treatments as part of their job because a hazard of their job is wearing the enamel out and staining of their teeth? I was surprised but then again not so surprised as you can often tell the red wine buff by the stains on their teeth.
Whilst I don’t drink that much red wine, I do drink loads of tea and I have to confess that when at home I drink my tea out of a straw. It’s a little tip that my friend Queen Viv told me to help keep my teeth white and although it can elicit curious looks if you ask for one it is nevertheless a practical tip. In the absence of drinking through a straw (I can do it since I work from home but people do stare if you do it at work or in a cafe 
), we have a hamper of goodies which allow you to try out the new Pronamel toothpaste which helps to get rid of stains and protect your teeth along with some of the foods that can cause enamel wear and staining.
The hamper includes:
Beerenberg Strawberry Jam
Delouis Fils old fashioned mustard
Simon Johnson green olives with garlic
Simon Johnson freeze dried kaffir lime leaves
Simon Johnson preserved lemons
Emma & Tom’s orange juice
Tyrrell’s 2009 Hunter Valley Shiraz Wine
Fattorie Giacobazzi balsamic vinegar
Fresh fruit
Plus of course a full sized and travel sized tube of Pronamel toothpaste and toothbrush!
Thanks to the Pronamel, five lucky Not Quite Nigella readers will win this hamper of gourmet goodies worth $150 each! For a chance to win this all you have to do is tell me one of your beauty or grooming tips! Simply add your answer as a comment to the story. The competition ends at midnight AEST 11th of June, 2011.

Wow – I should have a mouthful of red teeth! (I guess it’s good that I whiten them) …a beauty tip however, I live in the US.
Grooming tip? If you’ve got a nasty wee spot the best way to cover it is to dab some concealer on, then dab some talcum powder on it; then another wee dab of concealer. That’ll guarantee it to last for the whole day/night; without having to retouch! Gobsmack’d
Wow, that is all quite amazing, I will have to start drinking tea and coffee from a straw. I can’t even drink my coke from a straw as it makes the drink too bubbly.
Do you miss out on any flavour?
For beauty I get up in the morning thinking I am absolutely handsome and healthy. It’s not true of course, but the day is over before I find out.
My favourite beauty tip is to apply paw paw ointment on my lips every night just before I go to sleep. I haven’t had dry lips in years and it’s so cost effective – one $5 to $7 tube lasts me six months!
Travel cleansing wipes are the best. I carry them in my handbag always
My beauty tip is to drink lots of water and eat lots of fruits and veggies. It makes your skin look and feel so good and is cheaper than expensive creams and potions : )
What a fabulous hamper….
My Beauty Tip?….Be happy and don’t take yourself (or life) too seriously, frowning causes wrinkles!!!
My beauty tips: put lots of smile on my face, give lots of love away from bottom of my heart, always be thankful.
I am an old fashioned girl who uses hot water and a facecloth to clean my face, followed by a face cream, smothered all over and down the neck
Works for me !!
my beauty tip is a honey and banana facial mask the honey is good for your skin and softens your skin and the banana is also good for your skin.dont laugh it does work and feels wonderful.
My beauty tip is for my skin: a few drops of Extra Virgin Olive Oil in the bath water is naturally moisturizing & nourishing.
Hmmm, I have to be careful with facial products due to allergies, so my best beauty tip is to ALWAYS look in the mirror before leaving the house, or the car mirror before leaving the car for a meeting. And smile!
My beauty tip is to keep out of the sun as much as possible! Too late for me as I already have bad skin from over-exposure but I’m avoiding it as much as I can now.
Eat well, drink well and share good times with friends. Recipe for happiness!
An hourly brisk walk every morning makes you feel wonderful and then you can taste the delicious things in the hamper with not too guilty of a conscience!!!!!
My beauty tip is to have plesant thoughts and keep negativity frown lines away.
My beauty tip: like the other lass I use paw paw ointment on my lips. Also, I have been drinking aloe vera juice and applying Thursday Plantation aloe vera gel at night for years and I don’t have any lines. The aloe vera is very good for getting rid of sun spots too. I would love to win a Pronamel Gourmet Hamper!
Always pluck your eyebrows – a strong eyebrow arch really frames your face and can even give the appearance of a mini-eyelift!
Use natural products. Avoid causing any long-term damage to your well being and skin by keeping away from beauty and grooming products that contain sodium laureth sulphate and parabens.
Always sleep and drink enough.
No matter what you eat or how much you work out the truth is – ask your partner their opinion on how you look. Honesty works.
Fav beauty tip is for the best face/body scrub. put a teaspoon of bicarb in the palm of your hand, add a few drops of water to make a paste and gently scrub in circles all over your face.
= skin like silk.
The freshest fruit and vegetables eaten as raw a possible; then all other intakes taken often but in moderation. Add to this a genuine interest in people and you can’t go wrong.
What a fabulous basket of goodies especially for one who DOES live in Australia and DOES drink red wine and tea! Have to laugh tho’ – are you including the beautiful Tyrrells’ wine, so we could have that first and then try out the toothpaste afterwards
? Actually I too oft use a straw at home as well as a number of the other beauty/groomong tips already given. To that I would like to add the use of the ‘Invite Vit E’ cream, especially with the drying winter winds starting to blow oh so early! Available in tube and pump bottle, I use it for dry elbows, knees and toes and on all scars or rough areas. Perfectly safe longterm. When I lost my right breast to cancer eight years ago, I used it daily (and oft still do) along the scar: which scar – I literally don’t have one!! 
!
Pawpaw is a magic fix it. Not only does it soothe chapped lips but it’s a great lip gloss, a tiny bit will help tame unruly brows, or can hold a little stray hair in place, it’s fab on knees elbows or any other dry skin, it it great on your cuticles, perfect for people with exzema, helps heal stretch marks, burns and cuts, it’s a tube that’s always in my handbag.
My beauty tip……always make time for yourself. Have a pedicure, manicure, facial or spend the day doing what YOU want (on the couch with a good book) You feel soo much better for it
)
I loved Pronamel before it became available in AU, as I first tried it in Europe. My best beauty and grooming tip is simple: SLEEP, plenty of it, always. At least 9-10 hrs nightly. And a good dentist, lol.
Sunblock, sunblock, sunblock!
My best beauty tip is to wash out an old mascara brush thoroughly and use it to apply lash tint – much better than those plastic applicators they supply with the tint – and it allows you to get all the way to the base of your lashes without getting it in your eyes.
Freeze dried kaffir lime leaves? Very cool. My tip- when you run out of clean underwear,simply turn your old underwear inside out.
A smile costs nothing but gives much. A smile makes people more appealing when they are all dressed up and adds beauty.
Hi there Would love the hamper, I dont drink Red Wine so staining is not a problem for me but the beuty tip I have is always have a pedicure and look after your feet, looks so much nicer in summer shoes to have healthy feet.
ALWAYS wear sunscreen, even when it isn’t sunny. =)
Sunblock. That’s it. Sunblock.
I drink lots of water and try to eat as healthily as possible for good health inside and out!
My beauty tip is to moisturise twice daily without fail. Keeps the skin supple and bright.
One of my beauty tips is in the morning before you do anything splash the face with cool water five times.It wakes the senses up and washes off the cobwebs from the night before. xxx
Don’t wear makeup every day. Aim to have at least 2 days per week without makeup to let your skin breathe.
Drinking loads of plain water throughout the day.
Never go to bed on an argument – it causes wrinkles.
Love this hamper! My best tip would be moisturise morning and night!! especially in winter…
my beauty tip for more defined eyebrows is to apply a slightly darker than your eyebrow shade mascara to your eyebrows for more defined eyebrows cos my eyebrows are really light and eyebrow pencil makes it look very unnatural.
The best way to tweeze eyebrows painfree is to press a steaming fash washer over them first to open the pores.
drink plenty of water, stay away from alcohol and use a good moisturiser
My tip is to have a cup of hot water and lemon first thing in the morning. It is meant to get rid of the toxins in your system. But it is also important to brush your teeth afterwards to avoid the enamel disappearing from your teeth. So I think that I really deserve one of the fantastic hampers…
every morning re-hydrate your face with a facewasher squeezed out from a basin of very hot water to which has been added 5 drops of pure peppermint oil. Lay the washer on the face until it cools – do this 5 times. Opens the pores, rehydrates the derma, and the peppermint stimulates the mind. Particularly good when sleeping in air-conditioned rooms.
If your in a rush and dont have time to wash your hair just brush a bit of talc (for blonde hair) or bronzing powder (for darker hair) and this will stop your hair from looking oily?
Good morning Lorraine,
What a lovely hamper you’ve got today, and thanks for the straw drinking beauty tips – the thought of drinking my wine from a straw just crossed my mind
My best beauty and grooming tips is Exercise. Nothing beats the feeling of really sweating it out on a beautiful Saturday morning like today, wearing my Pink Ribbon headband, listening to Olivia Newton John’s ‘Physical’ from my iPod and performing my Seven Steps Jane Fonda workout in my backyard. “One, two, three, go… Let’s get physical, physical…”
Maintaining good health through regular exercises improves blood circulation throughout my body, keeping it fit and the weight down (from all the yummy sushis, pastas and pies). Breathing the fresh air keeps my brain active and alert (so I don’t forget to pluck the eyebrows on the opposite side
). With good health comes a beautiful, healthy looking me!
For my other beauty tips, I’d pick 2 base ingredients from today’s ‘mystery box’ (hamper): Strawberry and Lemon.
1. Mashing up a strawberry and rubbing it against the teeth for a minute, before brushing it off with toothpaste. Strawberry seeds contain natural teeth whitening agents and they’ll fix up the existing stains on your teeth over time (as you start using the straw from today!).
2. Squeezing a few drops of lemon juice into a glass of water and drinking it first thing in the morning. Lemons are rich in Vitamin C and they are great for cleansing the body and maintaining the inner PH balance so you can bathe in good health and beauty, always.
Keep happy and keep sharing those wonderful beauty tips!
Kat.
in the shower I always give my skin a good scrub to try and stop dry skin forming
My beauty tip starts with cleaning my teeth with Pronamel first thing in the morning & last thing before I go to bed and sometimes at miday if necessary as its important when you smile to have beautiful teeth.
Carry baby wet wipes with you- moisturising and cleans better than tissues!
eat lots of chocolate so you are happy and therefore look beautiful (oh and make it dark choc for the antioxidants to help your skin as well!)
Find something every single day to make you smile! Good food, exercise and sunscreen help…but smiling is the best thing….and it is contagious!
Oh, all this talk of stained teeth is too confronting for a Saturday … perhaps I should have had one less glass of red last night!! Anyway, my beauty tip is… when people tell you that you look beautiful – believe them! Nothing is more beautiful than a person who is comfortable in their own skin.
My beauty tip (which I have stuck to ever since I was told) is to always apply you moisturiser to you neck and chest as you want that skin to be as healthy and sag free as your face! No turkey necks for me!
Mix a little grated ginger in a teaspoon good honey every morning,lights the metabolism fire.try it!!
Put lip gloss on your eyebrows to smooth them down. This holds them in place makes the little hairs more noticeable and makes tweezing so much easier. You will have neater, more even eyebrows. Just use warm water on a face cloth to wipe off when finished.
Don’t smoke. Since quitting I look (and of course, feel) like a different person. So that one has really worked for me – don’t smoke.
What a magnificent response! Yes, yes, yes to heaps of water, fruit, vegetables and walking! Also firmly ‘yes’ to the ‘no makeup’, ‘no fights ere bedtime’ routines! Hugely believe in the avoidance of sodium laureth sulphate and parabens, but sunblock – read up yourselves on the latest and you make up your mind!
Lorraine – nearly left a message on dear Mr NQN’s FB wall – and – got shy! Now, if he votes 12 for Estonia, I’ll vote 12 for Finland!
! Let’s face it, we both have young, talented, sympatico finalists! Good luck – may the best artist win 
!
Not only do I love cooking with my cold-pressed virgin coconut oil, I also love using it as a deep moisturising treatment. It works wonders warmed in your hands then applied to your skin and even your face. My favourite is in my hair, leave it in for ten minutes or even all night, then wash out- it smells amazing!!
Easy tip, brush your teeth at least twice a day with ProNamel helps keep the dentist at bay.
Use a warm muslin cloth to remove cleanser, eat fabulous food and have lots of fun and laughter in your life
Pamper yourself on a regular basis, have a rose scented bath or buy a really nice handcream and have a nice cup of tea to clean your system.
This is really quite bizarre! And it does make me smile just thinking about drinking tea through a straw.
I’m not too up there with beauty tips…..maybe avoid peeling chestnuts if you like your nails!
My grandmother told me never to go to sleep before cleaning my face of makeup. I have passed this advice to my daughters and we all have clear complexions. I await the day I can give this simple but effective beauty tip to my grandchildren.
If you’re looking tired after a big night out or a restless sleep, apply white eyeliner to the inner rim and lower waterline of your eyes. It will make your eyes look bigger, brighter and less sleepy.
Make sure you cleanse and tone morning and night. Makes your skin feel georgous.
A good Nights Sleep is all You need 8 hour minimum and you will feel and Look 100%
my beauty tip is to love the skin your in and life and everybody beauty is within.
A beauty tip – I give up. No matter what I try I keep waking up looking like this. A mask is my best beauty accessory!
Moisturise, moisturise, moisturise! Stay out of the sun, when you have to be in it stay in the shade, shade is your best friend.
I cleanse, tone and moisturise at least twice a day.
ALWAYS take your contacts out before sleeping …. trust me no beauty in waking up with very very sore eyes …hahahahahahaha
i like using papaw cream for everything its really seeps into dry skin great for dry lips heals anything to cuts,burns rashes and it natural to use
I’m not sure this is really the kind of tip you were after but I have really long hair and we live in a small apartment with floor boards – this equals hair everywhere! A little tip I have is to do the daily hair brush on the balcony! Any strays go outside and give you another day before having to vacuum!
I use Witch Hazel to remove my makeup or as a toner for my complexion and it is available from supermarkets but best of all it is cheap. My dear gran always used it.
CONSOLIDATE your skincare and make-up products, buy things that are two or three things in one such as ‘tinted moisturisers’ and ‘Cleanser & toner combined’….saves time, money and allows you to splurge on your favourite brands!
I groom my beautiful cats as often as they’ll allow. Their purring and cuddles melt my heart.
I’m not quite sure this counts but I’ve just discovered the ‘dry and shine’ product that you pop on you nails after you have finished the bottom, ‘colour’ and top coats. I’m renowned for having perfect nail varnish aside from ONE nail.. very annoying! The dry and shine product puts an end to that annoyance and also trims the nail varnish time right down!

Beauty comes from within so treat people as you would like to be treated and have compassion.Not everyone is as fortunate as you and as you stare at the person who is “different” just imagine how they might feel.
As for a physical beauty tip try putting conditioner in your hair , wrap it up in a towel and sleep overnight, wash out.Leaves hair silky smooth and glossy.
Remember a smile is worth a thousand words no matter how many wrinkles it apparently makes so just be happy…
Wear sunscreen daily ,stay out of the sun and get a good nights sleep.
extra virgin olive oil is excellent as a body moisturiser.a small amount rubbed in to skin will soften and nourish. also makes a great handcreme if used sparingly. also really good on sore lips and can be used as a facial moisturiser. much better than products containing perfumes and colours.
a beauty tip i have for having nice soft lips ALL day is to put lip balm/vaseline on your lips before you go to sleep, and then when you brush your teeth in the morning, you also brush your lips. i do this routine everyday because i don’t like wearing lip balm when i’m out because the wind can blow dust/my own hair onto my sticky lipbalmed lips.
what you should find is that the vaseline sort of lifts the layer of dry skin off your lips without cracking/hurting. then when you brush your lips you are scrubbing off that dry skin revealing nice moisturised skin underneath. with this routine i don’t need lip balm all day. if i skip this routine my lips start to dry during the day and can start cracking.
Moisturise every eve and every sunrise, effective simple and doesn’t have to be expensive.
I’m hopeless at this kind of thing – someone desperately needs to give me a crash course in beauty tips! (And I feel like the ugly duckling not-likely-to-grow-up saying that!) Probably all I can really say is always washing and cleansing my face before bed, no matter how tired or late it is!
My tip is to always sleep on your back to help prevent wrinkles. Sleeping on your side or stomach wrinkles your face for around 8 hours…. worse than frowning!
When I go swimming I apply sunscreen not only to my skin but I also rub some through my hair…this helps protect my hair from harsh chlorines and chemicals…best tip I’ve been given as I swim alot !
Shower at least once
Brush your eyebrows for a quick 10 second spruce
I have spent a small fortune and wasted years on trying all sorts of creams to make my skin glow. But I have finally found that a quick brush over my cheeks, and forehead, nose and chin with Nars Bronzer could have saved me a lot of time and money. Gives skin a beautiful healthy sun kissed glow and covers minor imperfections. I’m a bronzing convert!!
I rub cider vinegar into my scalp and sleep with a shower cap on to get rid of dandruff. It’s more effective than anti-dandruff shampoo and chemical free!
My beauty tip is ‘grow old gracefully’ and never let anybody make you feel bad about what you look like. In this beauty obsessed world, people make too much of appearances. Lots of water and veg to keep you healthy, a decent amount of exercise and really that’s all we need!
My FAVOURITE grooming tip is to use honey as a face mask. I tried this just the other day and I LOVE IT. My face is so soft and the pores are barely noticable. TRY. IT. NOW.
My best beauty tip would be using witch hazel on my face after a shower. It’s refreshing, tightens pores and clears up any redness or blemishes and it’s 100% natural.
Re straws I’d love to do the same but what sort of straw do you use in your tea? Wouldn’t plastic melt or leach nasty carcinogens into anything hot? I’m curious.
My beauty secret is Clinique dramatically different lotion:)
My beauty tip is to always wash my face before bed…no matter how much I just want to go to sleep.
pop on your socks after you mositurise your feet, youll wake up with soft footsies
I use this toothpaste for receded gums! And never really thought about the beauty hazard of red wine & tea drinking.. oh dear
It always seems odd to me to drink hot drinks through a straw although some of the drive-thru coffee shops serve them that way.
My best beauty tip would be to moisturise your decolletage along with your face, helps to avoid those telltale signs of ageing
Such lovely goodies, Lorraine! What a great giveaway!
Always teach your kids to be sun smart at an early age. That way when they get older, they’ll appreciate their skin and health more.
try to eat & love a little like the french! cream, pastries and taste taste taste! happiness in small tasty bites…is better than a lifetime of self imposed restriction!! lol
Wear sunscreen whenever you are going outside. A must in our climate. And drink loads of water!
I’m a big fan of not wearing too much make up and always always washing your face before bed.
Tea tree oil is a great natural pimple killer too should you over-indulge on Easter eggs (who me?!).
Never, never, never leave the house without sunscreen even in the middle of July. Moisturiser and foundation with added sunscreen are godsends. Keeps skin from becoming leather like!
What else? Vodka … On a cotton ball applied to your open pores ..yeah not a sexy tip but it works ! Pour yourself a drink and relax!! Beautiful…
i always make sure that I cleanse my face because there’s so much pollution in the area
My beauty tip would be to take care of your teeth you can smile confidently! A happy person is always beautiful
use generous amounts of cleanser as it’ll give riches to the ‘pore’!
The best grooming tip I can offer (from a man’s perspective) is to iron your clothes lol
Drying hair for a scrunch look, scrunch hair first then put a hair net over it to keep it tight and then blow dry it.. great effect!
good food good supplements especially omegas good sex and the best chocolate you can buy!
beauty tip for nice hair… hot oil treatments. you can just use the v05 ones. they will leave your hair feeling nice and smooth.
My top beauty tip is adding a slice of lemon into boiling water for stronger nails and hair growth. Plus it’s lovely and cosy in winter to fight off those awful winter colds!
Plenty of sleep, exercise, water and laughing–all free!
My beauty tip is to dab a tiny amount of Vaseline on your eyebrow bones. It will make your eyebrows look perfectly arched! Thanks for this competition! XO
Fabulous hamper! Beauty Tip: When you wake in the morning, have 2 big glasses of water, one to hydrate your system and one to get the brain going.
If your hairspray comes out all gluggy and covers your hair in wet bubbles, don’t panic! Just blowdry the affected area on a slow warm setting and they will disappear! And shake the can next time! LOL
Pick your parents well and take care of the genes they gave you!
Lots of water, sleep and rose hip oil on a clean dry face before bed. Divine!
If you have red spots or blotches on your face don’t be heavy handed with your foundation, instead use a green concealer to cover them, let it dry then cover with your foundation. For blue bruises or imperfections use yellow concealer and for yellowish bruises or yellow skin imperfections use a lavender concealer.
That is a really interesting fact that I never would have guessed.
My beauty tip, keeping within the white teeth theme: Wearing a bright lipstick can make your teeth appear whiter and brighter. Also a shimmer-free bronzer applied to your facial contours works a treat
i rub aloe vera gel fresh from the plant onto my skin. It feels rather off a first but dries quickly. I leave it on for 20-30mins and then shower it off. I cant say its a sure fire winner but at least it stops the plant from over-running the yard
hi Lorriane,
love the post! i have been sick and have been bed ridden… and i was having food blog withdrawals!! hahaha
my fave beauty tip is a home made face mask.
it actually is made with tomatoes and strawberries.
crush four organic strawberries with 4 organic chrry/grape tomatoes and mash till slight paste forms. add 1 teaspoon of honey and 1 teaspoon of raw organic sugar.
mix well and place on face and leave for 15 minutes.
wash off with warm water and VOILA….. my face feels super fresh and of course smells and tastes yummy too
xxx Michelle
Make sure you get enough sleep.
My beauty tip – drink lots of water and get plenty of sleep! A
Always use sunscreen whatever the weather,
To prevent skin cracking like dried leather!
Always use Chanel nail polish – glides on easily, never bubbles and never clumps in the bottle -worth every penny!
Brush your teeth twice daily and don’t forget to floss also, for healthy teeth.
Beauty is a reflection of inner and outer health, so drink plenty of water, eat lots of colourful fruit and veg, keep your hair away from your face, exercise at least 30 mins a day, mositurise day and night AND remember to always SMILE!!
Hi Lorraine,
My best beauty tip is for removing makeup with non-fragranced Baby Wipes (if its gentle enough for baby bums it has to be good enough for your face). Also a lot cheaper than makeup wipes and cleansers, easy to carry around and found everywhere! It really works a treat especially with mascara. Would love the goodies pack everything I love in one! When is your book coming out – can’t wait to read it!
Smiles Rozzie
Try to eat natural, unprocessed foods wherever possible; this way I know the content of the food before it goes into my mouth and through my body.
Three words – moisturise, moisturise, moisturise!
I try to wear makeup as little as possible and use natural products as my skin is quite sensitive!
my beauty tip is to always carry vasoline lip care in your handbag or pocket as its a great way to keep your lips looking kissable all winter long
Lorraine, You are always flying off somewhere. My tip: Hydrate! Using a moisturizing cloth mask when you start your trip and another when you land will stop your skin from dehyrating. (A good brand is Biotherm’s Source Therapie Tissue Masks).
I have a slight curl in my eyebrow hairs and a cowlick in one of them and they never seemed to sit right…that was until I discovered clear mascara! With a little brush of that now they always stay and look like I’ve just stepped out of the salon
Always cleanse and exfoliate gently before applying makeup to get the best results. Otherwise you can get the ‘rub off’ effect if you haven’t prepped you skin properly!
I have just started moisturising every night, and instead of spending $80 on Estee Lauder, Lancome, Clinique, Chanel and the like, give the Neautrogena and Nivea a try, i am never paying those high prices again! It’s the same ingredients, for aa fifth of the price!
Beauty starts from within for sure but it doesnt hurt to moisturise twice a day
Always be prepared to walk – park in the first available spot and walk the rest of the way. Keep a sunhat, umbrella and coat in the boot of the car, so you can do this whatever the weather. If you are elderly and/or arthritic like me, keep a walking stick in the boot too.
My Tip: Toothpaste (any kind!) works wonders on drying out pimples, even before they have come to a head. Just dab a bit of toothpaste on the offending spots before bed. My boyfriend thinks I look a bit funny, but hey – at least my skin will be clear (albeit, slightly minty fresh!)
I use Bicarb to clean my teeth with once a week. Great at removing the red wine stains – but I’m not sure if it’s good for the teeth enamel.
Make a paste with Bicarb Soda and water and use an old toothbrush to rub the paste over your teeth.If you do it everyday for awhile,-it seriously whitens your teeth!
Help banish a zit by dabbing a little toothpaste on it. Just don’t forget it’s there & go out, like I once did!!
After a bath or shower I slather a rich & intense moisturiser all over my feet, put on a pair of socks, then jump into bed. My feet are softer than a babies for it too.
When my wife isn’t home I use her good facial scrub, and sometimes if she’s out for ages her peel off mask. And it makes my man skin look so good. For all you guys out there, give it a go but don’t let her know or she’ll tell all your mates so you stop ‘wasting’ her product!!!
Moisturising daily is a tip I picked from my Mum, she looks fabulous for 62 so it must work. I walk a extra 40 minutes to work rather than catch the train and just recntly have stopped my two can a day diet soft drink habit for the sake of my teeth and my insides.
I would just love to win something.
I have used honey and glycerin on my face each night for the past 32years. Cant say I,m beautiful but my skin sure is soft. Ha Ha But really it works, well it has for me.
Always wear sunscreen so you don’t shrivel and dry up like a leather hand bag.
Men, steer clear of the make up. Leave it to the fairer sex.
My beauty tip: Stay out of the sun – no tan is worth lines, wrinkles or worse later on in life!
I know this is not really a beauty tip, but it’s definitely a lifesaver – dab a little bit of Vaseline on parts of shoes that tends to dig into your feet. I know, it sounds gross, but trust me it freaking works! No more bleeding ankles/toes for life!
well while we are on a food blog why not use mother natures finest ingredients. one cup of oatmeal and a few sprigs of rosemary and lavendar tie in an old stocking make for the most devine milky body wash you could imagine. happy soaking
Beauty – always wash your face every morning and night.
Grooming tip – Make sure your shoes are clean because no matter how good your clothes look, if your shoes are shabby, scuffed or dirty it will let the whole look down.
Best beauty tip – SUNSCREEN! Prevention is the key, i wear sunscreen every day, even in winter my moisturiser has SPF 30….
this is a true tip – for bags under the eyes after a big night out, i dab on cold haemorroid cream. i keep it in the fridge – hidden away of course so no one sees it! – and it works!
Mash an avocado and apply it to your face realx for about half an hour then rinse off. Leaves your face feeling smooth and clean. Use as a once a week natural gift for your face.
Cleanse, cleanse and moisturise. Sometimes the simple things work the best!
Keep your nails tidy! Great nails can really lift a person’s look.
I am sorry to promote a Brand but SKII changed my life! If however you hate the idea of paying $200 AUS for a moisturiser really the cheap brands do the trick
Natural curls are easy to maintain, after shampooing/conditioning scrunch extra conditioner with a wet towel and defuse with a hairdryer asap. Beautiful curls.
don’t ever wash your face with soap, don’t use any of those products either, the more natural you keep the treatment, the better your skin stays
Vaseline on ur lashes to get mascara off. Put on with cotton tip before
U start removing makeup then when u get to ur eyes will come off easily
Always get 8 hours of sleep every night….
Tip: keep your nails clean and don’t wear nailpolish constantly, it yellows and weakens your nails. two weeks on, one off with a strengthener
Fall in love (or stay in love). The faces of women in love glow with happiness and radiance.
My beauty tip is to drink lots of water. I always feel so much better when I have had lots of water, and it’s free too!
Being along time coffee addict, and an espresso drinker so no milk, I ALWAYS have a glass of water handy to not only aid digestion, but also to make sure my teeth always look white and not brown
Always put your handcream on just before you go to sleep and it has all night to work while your hands are relaxed.
Never buy eye liner again dampen an eye shadow sponge run the edge along the eyeshadow of choice and use as eye liner don’t be afraid to experiment.Truly get glamorous professional effects.
I always carry a small travel toothbrush in my bag, so that I can clean my teeth after eating or drinking out. My teeth always look good and don’t stain.
A good quality almond kernal or avocado oil, add a few drops of rosemary essential oil, massage it into hair and scalp, then leave it for a few hours (wear old clothes on the day )
When you wash your hair it is addictively touchable and shiny.
my hint – enjoy life and be happy with who you are. You only get 1 chance at life
With extremely long hair,I always use a few drops of coconut oil in the final rinse which leaves my hair soft and smelling beautiful…….
Never rinse your mouth after brushing your teeth as it washes away the healthy flouride from toothpaste!
Wow! The truth is one cannot afford not to read Lorraine’s blog every day. How helpful reading everyone’s tips…some even fantastic, some had me laughing especially the boy’s comments and not one mention of the ‘B’ word… rhymes with ‘OX’!
Oh yes!…my tip…get plenty of rest….good for mind, body & soul. Susie Q
my beauty tip is to take note of expiry dates on your make up products (in particular mascara) – better to throw it out than get an eye infection!
My tip is a simple one, making sure you NEVER go to sleep with makeup on! One of the worst things for your skin and no matter how late it is, always make an effort to wash it all off, to keep your skin healthy and glowing!
By teachingmy toddler good teeth care habits it ensures that I too give myself the time and love to keep my smile delighful too.
Hi Lorraine if you’re ever travelling thru rural Victoria – come to Boort! We have Simply Tomatoes – fabulous green tomato products you will love. We have a retro farmstay property and great foodie friends at Salute` Oliva (boutique olive grove – oil & table olives) and Jamie’s Dressings(divine dressings)at Lake Boga nearby. Cheers Annie
When i dont have time to rewash a top in a moment of rush, I powder the under arm areas, so any unpleasant smells are absorbed. I then dust the powder out and the top smells good again!
First of all I have to say I love, love, love your Blogs! x
“My Beauty Tip”, is to make sure you consume LOADS of wonderful antioxadants for the good of the inside of your body and the outer. Our bodies thrive on these important antioxidants.
Antioxidants are very smart chemicals that protect our cells from both external threats, such as the sun, wind and temperature, and internal threats, such as excess oxygen and hormonal imbalances.
Good sources of antioxidants include cereals, fruits and vegetables. There are, however, certain foods that are particularly rich in these life-saving chemicals. These include berries (blueberry, blackcurrant, cherry), walnuts, sunflower seeds, pomegranate and ginger.
Enjoy living Healthy! xx
Got a zit and need to get rid of it in time for that hot date (can’t remember what one of those is like) put a dab of Isocol on it.
Always remember to floss, as sometimes teeth get overlooked and there’s nothing at nice as a sparkly clean smile
Always take your makeup off before you go to bed – and always brush your teeth, especially after drinking red wine!
to unwind and relax try using radox in your bathwater, and the water should be hot but not to hot of course,
and for really shiny hair use a cup fully of beer as your final rinse
Drink lots of wine– the way to live. Cheers
My favourite beuty tip is use coconut oil in your hair for a treatment, put it in, wrap in cling wrap for twenty minutes then wash out…Awesome Results..
My tip is to use chick weed milk(common garden weed)on small skin lesions. The skin blisters,then scabs ,lesion gone. Less scaring than having them frozen off at the doc’s
REFRESHING ONESELF IN SUMMER UNDER A COOL MOUNTAIN WATER FALL.
Keep your makeup and the number of skincare products. Just moisturise and drink lots of water. Au naturale~
My simple tip – Wash your face gently every day with warm water, and a simple natural soap, pat dry then Moisturise. Lofa the rest of your body and follow the same skin routine as per the face.Learnt this from my mother. passed it on the my Children and now grandchildren and we all have good healthy skin.
The best wholsome and healthy make at home antiwrinkle cream. 1 big handful of calendula flowers (marigolds) boil in 2 cups of water for 5 mins add some honey and drink as part of your breakfast, you will glow
I like to put a little honey and sugar together and put on face with wet fingers it is a realy easy facial scrub and feels good too.
you use more muscles to frown than you do to smile….So put a smile on your dial.
Keep smiling guys luv ya
Express on your OUTSIDE what you feel on your INSIDE.
Never forget to smile, you’ll always look beautiful.
The best tip i have is i only wear foundation around my eyes and blend it in, add bronzer on top this keeps my skin glowing and my foundation lasts longer, it also keeps ur eyeshadow on longer too!
nappy wipes get makeup off better than any remover, they also get biro off skin (and the lounge)
My beauty tips is always wear natural shades of make up. Nudes, Browns and light pink blushes. Always looks lovely!
I never leave home without my lip balm. It always comes in handy on those hot, cold or windy days when your lips take a beating from the elements.
I always put a little white liner around the inside of my eyes (in a V around the tear duct), it makes them look open and clear and healthy.
I occasionally like to pour flat beer over my hair for a great shine.
Floss, brush teeth and use mouth wash every day. Saves in your pocket at your dentist check ups.
Be wary of what you put into your body, food, liquid or substance. Always remember, beauty comes from within.
I am a BUSY mum and tend to run out the door every morning in a chaotic rush and relize I have forgotten to put some makeup on, so now I have 2 makeup bags exactly the same, one for in the house and one stays in the car, so I know no matter where I relize I have no facepaint on I can hide the tired lines under my eyes and at least look half decent for the day.
Keep it simple, drink plenty of water, eat fresh and laugh a lot – it keeps your mind and body feeling fresh and new.
Having faithfully read/reread 210 letters – methinks hair: a woman’s crowning glory, has not been much mentioned. For my ‘decrepit age’ I sport a pretty thick and lustrous mop, beautiful and naturally streaky now! I have always tried to keep away from chemicals as much as possible, be it with hair dyes or shampoos. Mainly tho’ I still do the ‘old-fashioned’ bit every evening – bend down, turn my hair upside down and brush slowly and carefully from inside down the length for about 3-5 mins. This not only feels fantastic but stimulates the blood supply around the hair follicles leading to healthier regrowth of beautiful strands!

This one relates to beauty products. When you are getting ready in the bathroom, be sure to put the plug in the basin so that none of your makeup can fall down the drain. I’ve had this happen before and it’s not fun!
Its not just the food you put in your body that makes you glow, egg for the hair, cucumber for puffy eyes, honey and oats for a facial cleanse, using it on the outside is great too you know!
I’m a shortcut kinda girl, so my tip is about how to apply mascara and curl at the same time. Right after you’ve applied mascara, use the top of your index finger to press upward against your lashes, holding them in place a few seconds until the mascara dries. Let go and voila! A lovely curled lash without having one of those scary curlers near your eyeball.
this would make an ideal hamper to take on a sunday day picnic to the park, sitting a on rug relaxing,
All these hints are great. Read them all. Mine? Use detergent free shampoo for the end of dry scalp and never let any shampoo fun down your face esp if using shampoo with chemicals in it. What a wonderful prize!
If you don’t want chocolate to hit your hips maybe try a chocolate face mask?! Smell will kill the cravings and your face will be refreshed and hubby will wonder why he can’t resist you
Baking soda mixed with water to form a paste will reduce the swelling and redness of those horrible huge and painful zits. Leave on for 10 minutes and then wash off.
When all else fails…stand up straight, smile a lot and just enjoy life! When you radiate happiness your beauty comes through.
Beauty tip fix – if your hairspray comes out gluggy leaving wet bubbles on your hair, use a warm hairdryer to melt the bubbles
I love my wine and didn’t know about the staining of the teeth. going to brush even harder and longer and more often now that i know that. but i already brush and floss for 5 minutes twice a day
The best beauty tip i know is sleep,sleep and then some more sleep…even if its a 10 minute cat nap/ nana nap…I prefer to call it a power nap but works wonders.
Do be careful drinking hot liquids with a straw — it doesn’t allow for the drink to cool down en route to your mouth, so you can get burnt… beauty tip? Don’t have kids
I keep my skin smooth all over by using a loofah in the shower. Feels good, looks good.
My Mum taught my sister and I to always use your ring finger when applying cream to or cleansing the area around your eyes. The ring finger has a lot pressure than your other fingers and therefore you treat the delicate skin with no supporting bone structure underneath in a much gentler fashion. Less wrinkles apparently.
Beauty tip – dab on your concealer instead of putting it on in strokes, especially under your eyes. This stops the product from settling in fine lines, instead it will skim over the top and help hide them!
It probably sounds strange, but my favourite beauty tip is a honey facial – I usually use about a heaped teaspoon of manuka honey, leave it on fresh cleaned skin for an hour and it works wonders! It has antibacterial properties, so helps get rid of blemishes and leaves your skin looking refreshed and lovely.
Stick to all natural beauty products.
My favourite is the crazy Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soap (for hair, face, body and cleaning the house too)
People never believe I’m as old as I am – they swear I must be at least 7 years younger, sometimes even 12 years. I have to carry my passport around to prove that I’m a respectable age.
wow what a yummy hamper to have to take on a romantic picnic with my hubby
I use a mud mask once a week, I find that it really clears up my skin, and I often have a nice glow afterwards.
Gently exfoliate your face once a week, your skin will look so fresh, clean and healthy. Everyone will notice the refreshed you!
I’m with Lauren. I never leave the house without sunscreen!
For a quick spot fix mix 1/2 tsp baking soda with a teensy drop of water, mix to a paste, apply and leave overnight. DONT TOUCH, wash off and reapply again if necessary. Works!
I always put mascara on in the morning, even if I feel terrible as it makes me look a lot better than I feel!
Brush your teeth twice a day
Once a week, while my hair is still damp after towel-drying, I comb through a few drops of almond oil — it makes my hair shiny, manageable, and smooth all week long.
To have skin that is both soft and clean I wash it with chamomile. There is nothing better that soothes the skin than chamomile.
I use good conditioner to shave my legs – it makes the razor glide, my legs are silky smooth afterwards and it doesnt clog the razor like shaving cream does.
My dentist in Australia recommended Pro Enamel and we bought it in the US for under $4USD per tube – in Australia it is almost $9AUD per tube – my tip – if it were more price competitive more people might use this great toothpaste in Australia!
Keep your hair, skin, nails and teeth scrupulously clean and you will feel and look good, with or without makeup!
Smile & laugh, it keeps you young on the inside as well as the outside.
I drink 3 litres of water a day and this gives me flawless skin!
My lover regularly massages me and rubs moisturizer into my upper arms and my torso so that as I lose weight my body looks toned and trim rather than saggy baggy elephant….. I feel very fortunate and pampered…..
What a great hamper!
Call me dull, but my biggest beauty tip is to ALWAYS remove your makeup and wash your face before bed. Might sound simple, and like not much of a tip at all, but believe me it does wonders for your skin!
To use moisturiser on your hands, it will stop them from getting dry.
My most important beauty/grooming tip is too smile,never leave home without it.No cost to give or recieve a smile and it will enhance any beauty,grooming you do. Warm Regards jannette
Hand cream makes a great softening lip balm, and a little dab under the eyes before bed will have you looking bright eyed and bushy tailed ready for a brand new day!
Don’t stress too much over getting everything looking absolutely on your first date. Inner happiness and a sense of calm brings it’s own beauty. The frazzled look, covered up with layers of makeup, never really works.
I always have foils in my hair… regrowth and grey is less noticible than with an overall colour… and visits between hairdressing appointments can be stretched a little!
In France it’s commun to use Rose Water as a toner on the morning. It makes your skin feel very soft and it smells lovely.
I wish it was more widely available in Australia!
I use an exfolliant and hydrating mask once a week.
Honey based products are great too.
My tip would be to eat your avocados! It is high in vitamin E to give smooth supple skin, and also high in monsaturated fats which is good for lowering our bad cholesterols. what a healthy fruit it is for the body! (:
Olive oil has so many uses and is not just for cooking. From hair to skin it does wonders.
Oats make a wonderful face scrub, moistened with a little plain yoghurt
A glass of warm water with a squeezed lemon in it each morning goes down a treat.
Vaseline is the best lip balm to soothe cracked lips, which is important with the arrrival of this cold weather.
scaly skin -gentle exfoliator
followed by moisturising
glass of water & 2 fish oil
as dehydration can be a factor
Hi, I look in the mirror and think I look fine for my age. I am well over 50 and it’s great to feel good about the way you look. My tip is don’t put on your glasses when you look in the mirror.
Apply Deodorant every morning and put a spare container in your car or work place just in case.
staying hydrated helps your skin glow. H2O is the key to great skin!
Use lemon juice to remove stains from your nails. It works a treat in removing them.
Olive Oil – it’s great for skin but amazing as a hair treatment.
Smile from the insde and you will always looke beautiful..
try to take as little time as possible as never enough hours in the day
keep up the water and the good quality fresh food and you should do well
All of the above treatments might have their place. But the easiest way you can increase your beauty is by being confident. Nothing is sexier than a man or woman being confident in themselves and what they do. And if you don’t have it? Fake it until you make it.
Leave the shampoo on your hair while you shower yourself and your hair will always shine!
Don’t apply setting powder under your eyes. It settles in the fine lines, accentuating them. Also, it doesn’t allow you to re-apply concealer under your eyes during the day!
Curling my eyelashes always seems to make such a difference. Thats my tip!
WEAR SUNSCREEN!
When your doctor tells you that your 50+ year old skin is as good as a teenager’s, you know it’s been worth it!
My tip is to read everything written above! Seriously though, honey and sugar is a great lip smoother – natural and it works!
My best beauty and grooming tip is to try your best to live a happy life! Every day presents us all with challenges, but if you try to keep positive you will feel happier and this will be reflected both inside and out!
Hmm I’m not much of a make-up wearer (eyelash curlers scare the hell out of me lol) so the best beauty tip I can provide, is look after yourself both physically (drink lots of water and wear sunscreen) and mentally. As when you are happy on the inside it will radiate on your outside and that is the beauty that people will notice!
Beauty tip – use redness-reducing eyedrops to eliminate the red from the whites of your eyes. Makes you look bright-eyed and bushy-tailed!
How do I enter a competition.
There does not seem to be a place where I can enter
For mascara smudges, simply wet a cotton bud tip and wipe gently. If you get to it straight away it removes easily and won’t ruin your eye shadow underneath. I always have them in my make up bag as there is nothing worse than stray mascara.
I use hair conditioner on my legs when shaving. Makes them super smooth!
Look in the mirror and repeat this confidence booster:
Mirror mirror on the wall,
Who’s the fairest of them all?
You are ….. without a doubt,
Roger Mirror, over and out.
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge you’ll never walk alone.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; Never throw out anybody.
And if you ever need a helping hand, you’ll find one at the end of your arm.
drink eight glasses of water a day for clearer looking skin also moisturise twice a day for softer looking skin
You should also drink soft drinks through a straw to minimise acid wear on teeth.You wouldn’t get weird stares for this thankfully,so it is quite a practical tip!
Apply hand cream multiple times during the day. Hands are the first to show signs of neglect. Apply particularly after washing dishes, or other chores that remove moisture from your hands.
A beauty tip I have is something all pet owners struggle with:
Do you find your self quite blue,
when you realise half the cat is on you?
Well just get your hands wet,
then rub them down the evidence from your pet,
and you will be set!
(In other words if you are like me and don’t realise until you are out in the sunshine that you are covered in cat fur and you dont have your roller then just wet your hands and rub them on your clothes and the wet hands picks it up, then just wash your hands:))
I spray my hairbrush with perfume before brushing my hair. By doing this, there is always a pleasant aroma around me.
To stop my skin from drying out over the winter, and also to keep myself better hydrated, I keep a pot full of water on the oil heater in my bedroom to humidify the air. Works a treat!
dont go through life holding grudges let it go and you will feel less stressed and happier so people around you will feel your happiness
My beauty tip is Teatree oil! It makes all hair types beautiful and healthy! Teatree oil is so good for people like me that have fine hair and want to add some extra volume! While being environmentally friendly and great for the planet then other hair products.
Don’t overdo the makeup…a fresh, natural look always works best.
Wear sunscreen every single day, even when it’s not sunny! It protects your skin and leaves it soft and supple. Also, when it comes to makeup, LESS IS MORE!
Always, always remove your makeup before bed every night!
A simple but essential beauty tip is to moisturise daily, especially in the colder months!
Neveer sleep on your side, it creates wrinkles in your face..
Always sleep on your back, sleeping on your side creates wrinkles in your face..
Do not brush your teeth in the dark it could be the denorub you reach for
Use a face mask every week to fix the damage done to your skin during the week. Your skin will feel softer and more nourished.

The best tip I can give, is to tell yourself every day you’re beautiful! Nothing makes you more beautiful than a beaming smile on your face because you do feel gorgeous!
Only drink hot water as it’s good for the skin, great complexion and no wrinkles.
Use a mud mask once a week. It really draws out all the impurities and leaves your skin glowing!
Natural is better. Try coconut oil it’s amazing as a moisturiser, cooking oil and even for your hair.
Beauty, if you feel good on the inside youll shine on the outside.
Great hamper! My grooming tip is to apply grapeseed oil the face every night before going to bed. In the morning you’ll wake up to a soft but not greasy face.

Is my beauty tip to you!
Maybe beauty is found in something as simple as a smile and choosing happiness
Once i started being positive, people would comment on how much my face was glowing. Be bright on the inside and you’ll be bright on the outside too. 
xox
Beetroot juice makes a gorgeous hair dye for darker hair. It’s economical, all natural, and leaves your hair with a softness and shine you just can’t beet!
ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS REMOVE MAKE UP BEFORE GOING TO BED!
in winter even when it’s cold outside try and get out and about for 20 minutes , that weak sunshine has loads of vitamin D, good for the body and good for the soul!
Two tips that have never failed me:
1. Never apply lipstick in a moving vehicle, especially if you’re driving! Unless Ronald MacDonald is the look you’re aiming for.
2. After months of using a stub of an eyeliner pencil, when you finally break out a new one, don’t stand too close to the mirror. Poking yourself in the eye spoils the whole effect.
My beauty tip is to look at beauty from within first, then add a little toning, not too much makeup and put on a smile!
Use a good moisturiser day and night.
Would love to be able to enjoy the hamper!!
From someone who always has red red! cheeks, my tip is too add a smidgen of green eyeshadow and blend it in, that way you still look healthy without looking red all the time!
Love all the other tips too,have learnt heaps!!!
MY beauty tip is to SMILE!!! Everyone looks much more beautiful with a grin on their face!
my beauty tip-coconut oil is as a delicious, gentle exfoliant – just mix it with a little sugar and rub into your body and face
it softens and refreshes the face and body, leaving it ready for your favourite moisturiser
FLOSS!!! Seriously, brushing just doesn’t cut it.. Maintaining fantastic oral hygiene can save you thousands of $$$ in the long run and keeps your chompers at their best!
A dentist told me that if you drink tea or coffee with milk it won’t stain your teeth, it only does if you drink it black – so my tip is to always add milk!
My beauty tip is rub oil in your feet and wear cotton socks overnight. After washing in the morning, your feet will be soft and ready to exfoliate dry skin.
My beauty tip is go to bed early…you will wake up refreshed each day, and of course, drink plenty of water, use sunscreen and a bit of exercise.
My favourite is different perfumes for different moods & weather, not too much but enough to enjoy.
My best beauty tip is read the ingredients before you use a product – don’t put anything on your face that you wouldn’t put in your mouth!
store a jar of eye cream in the refrigerator so you can apply it cold to the skin to reduce any puffiness
Sinus problems?
Red eyes?
Sore throat?
Moisten a cotton bud with a weak saline solution i.e. salty water and dab into the corners of your eyes. Within moments the solution cleans your eyes, runs down your nostrils and into the back of your throat.
Have the tissues handy……for a very cleansing experience.
vaseline! great for lips (chapped lips/lip gloss), inside nostrils when flying, for taming stray hairs,to soften cuticles, as an eyelash definer, endless uses and very cheap!
If you’ve recently gone grey use soft, bright shades on cheeks or lips. Pale pastels, nude tones or deep browns will wash you out.
Beauty tip.. stay single. Being married improves a man’s longevety but shortens a woman’s!
When working in airconditioning use a water atomiser throughout the day on your face to rehydrate the skin. Of course makes sure you drink plenty of water as well.
Listen and look at your body.It will tell you what you need
Laugh!
Don’t waste money on creams etc. Holiday often and enjoy life!
drink lots of water, eat fresh fruit and vegies, and stay out of the sun, or “slip, slop, slap”.
make sure you get enough sleep so you can look and feel fresh.
Stay out of the SUN and FLOSS your teeth – You’ll always look younger than what you are!
Your SMILE is your INTRODUCTION to the WORLD – Way more IMPRESSIVE than new clothes!
I add a little sugar to my facial cleanser every now and then. Works wonders as a facial scrub
Aloe Vera is my magic elixir! The gel has amazing healing benefits for the skin and I drink the juice for a daily detox
Simple…each night, cleanse tone and moisturise your skin before bed. NEVER leave mascara on, EVER! And dont forget your hands need hand cream, every night! It sounds boring, but I am 52, have followed this routine since starting in the cosmetic industry 30 years ago, and it has paid off, very happy with my skin. Not heaps of money, or heaps of time, just the same ten miunutes every night, EVERY night!
I use Dr. Wheatgrass spray on my face, let it dry and get absorbed by the skin and then put on moisturiser. It’s for added vitamins and antioxidant.
Water, water, water… it’s essential for your bodys inner health which radiates out to your outer beauty!
Sleep is my top beauty tip. My skin always has a glow about it after a long afternoon nap or great night’s sleep. Sweet dreams!
Equal amounts of cake and cardio…
the winemakers may get dental plans but us poor cellar hands that do the hard work for them don’t and we have to do a lot of tasting too
My ultimate useful beauty tip is ideal for traveling, everyday, small purses, the car anywhere. A lipbalm is perfect not just for lips but for the nose area for moisture when u have a cold and it looks a bit sore. Lipbalm is perfect for dry cuticles, elbows and knees. Its perfect for any dry spots on the body it’s allergen free and completely moisturise the areas required in an emergency.
I just thought I share this for winter. Drink lots of ginger tea. It’ll give you a nice rosy complexion so you don’t need to wear artificial makeup.
Talculm powder = no more oily hair when you don’t have time to wash it.
Magic Sponge cleaning product = no more stained teeth. Just rub them away with a little bit of sponge.
Models all want that bee-sting pout to the lips, but toothpaste dabbed onto a bee sting is good for reliefing the itch and pain.
always remember your mums advice
