Do you immediately reach for the razor the moment you hop into the shower? If you’re thinking yes, you’re making a mistake. Shaving isn’t exactly the highlight of any woman’s day, and it’s perfectly reasonable to want to get it over with, but if you follow this advice you will have smoother, happier legs and skin.

Life is so full of unpredictable beauty and strange surprises. Sometimes that beauty is too much for people to handle. Do you know that feeling? When something is just too beautiful? When someone says something or writes something or plays something that moves you to the point of tears, maybe even changes you. One of the most beneficial and valuable gifts we can give to ourselves in this life: is allowing ourselves to be surprised!

It is okay if life surprises you.

It’s a good thing!

Falling asleep with your makeup on

Not washing your face before bed can lead to bacterial infections, clogged pores and acne. And, continued cleansing neglect can cause your skin to age up to EIGHT days on one night.

Coffee

I love my morning coffee, I even enjoy a nice afternoon espresso now and again, but be aware that caffeine is a MAJOR culprit when is comes to dry skin and the magnification of wrinkles. If you are a fellow coffee lover, be sure to hydrate and quench your skin by drinking LOTS of water to counteract the superficial affects of caffeine.

Not Hydrating

It’s always surprising to me when people say that they don’t drink water. As humans, your body is composed of over 60% water. We all NEED to drink water to maintain healthy digestion, absorption, circulation, creation of saliva, transportation of nutrients, body temperature and to fight off aging.

Cleanses

Constant cleansing and “yo-yo diets” have MAJOR negative impacts on your skin. This can lead to the breakdown of the natural collagen and elasticity in your skin causing sagging and stretch marks.

Lack of Exercise

It’s important to exercise, get your heart pumping and your blood flowing. Working out leads to perspiration (which may be “gross” but is important) that cleanses the body of toxins and promotes cellular growth.

Bright Pink

You are a giddy, easily excitable and free-spirited individual. People are naturally drawn to your bubbly personality and you welcome meeting and making new friends.

Red

This look is classically chic. You love the era of the roaring 20’s and the old Hollywood glam styles – basically you love anything vintage and sleek. You’re passionate, ambitious and willing to take the lead in any situation.

Dark Plum

You are daring, direct and bold. You set yourself apart from the crowd with your unique, stand-out-style. You don’t bullshit people, subtlety is not your forte – you’re always straight-forward.

Natural, lip balm

You are “wise beyond your years,” ambitious and lead a well-balanced life. You don’t get caught up in high-school drama and gossip and refuse to engage in petty behavior. Always looking to acquire new skills, build new bonds and never waste time you live your life to the fullest are highly productive with your time.

Gloss

You will never lose your childish enthusiasm for living and loving life. You don’t necessarily crave the limelight, but people do naturally gravitate toward you. You love fashion and don’t just follow but create trends, a true fashionista.

Nude

You are quiet and reserved – people who don’t know you may even call you shy. You pay close attention to detail, are very goal-oriented and are deeply compassionate and loyal to those you allow into close circle of friends.
