Summer holiday essentials
I will be going on my summer holiday in a month so its time I got organised with my clothing essentials, it’s a beach holiday so I will be taking my summer clothes and bikinis etc which I already have however my holiday beauty products is where I am lacking. Us women have a lot more to think about when taking products on holiday, more than men, not only do you have to remember the most importantly sunscreen and after sun but also a whole host of other things that are needed to keep us looking our best while we are away.
Obviously while at home I have my beauty regime however, all the creams and lotions I use can’t really be taken with me otherwise my suitcase will be full of them, instead I have to look for products that are small lightweight and multipurpose.
Face wipes are always handy, they are great for cleaning off make-up and unclogging my pores that are full of lotion they are also great for freshening up my face, a night cream is also a must, after a day in the sun, my face will be drying up so over night will get back some much needed moisture. My hair also needs protecting, as it too can be damaged by the harmful UV rays that damage our skin and because it’s dyed darker than my natural colour I do not want the colour to fade too much either. For during the day you can now buy UV protecting products such as Kerastase Soleil 2010 range that protects the hair safely against the effects of sun exposure and re-hydrates thirsty summer hair. As well as that a good conditioning treatment whilst I am away will also replenish any lost moisture from my hair and to make sure the colour doesn’t get too damaged I will be wearing a hat as much as possible, my straw trilby should do the trick.
One last thing I must remember before I go is also to book myself in for a manicure and pedicure to make sure my hands and feet look good too!

As we have now had some warmer weather this past week I decided it’s about time to start getting my body into shape for summer, after putting on a few extra pounds over winter (to keep me warm obviously) I could do shedding them and also toning up my squidgy bits. On top of that my skin seems to be looking fairly dull and very pale at the moment which as I start wearing more summer clothing will look more apparent.
Obviously sticking to an exercise regime will help tone me up and loose those pesky pounds but I can’t just suddenly start that as I haven’t exercised for a good 6 months, well since we headed into winter last year! I read somewhere its best to get your body and mind ready before taking on any mammoth exercise regime a god way to do this is to enjoy a relaxing massage to loosen up all your muscles. So I have decided to motivate myself I will visit a spa, now I know most people think that would be a good prize for getting fit but it’s also a good way to get you prepared. I can have some treatments that can revitalise my skin and give me a nice glow, like a body scrub as well as enjoying a sauna to rid my body of some of its toxins.
Once I have prepared my body I think I should be in a perfect mood to get fit and healthy.
