Avoid Travel Germs
How many times have you got off of the airplane and found that within 2 days of your trip, you have some sort of cold or flu bug.
There's always someone sneezing or coughing in the seat behind you.
Here's a great tip for keeping germs at bay whilst you are travelling or whilst anyone around you at home has a cold.
It's something I read over two years ago in Joan Collins Beauty Bible and apparently she has been doing this for years.
Before you travel apply an anti biotic cream around the edge and just inside your nostrils!
Germs are killed off as you breathe them in.
Whether it is a known fact if it works or not is irrelevant if you never catch a cold again!
Just remember to take a peek in the mirror and make sure that the white cream has disappeared.
A white nose is not a good look!

Dubai Summer Heat and SPF
Hi Ladies,
Well, I'm back from my holidays and I have to say that the 46 degree heat here in Dubai is not as bad as a UK heatwave without A/C!
Although I did notice one thing in particular, how intense the sun is in Europe.
We seem to be protected with a layer of humid haze here which doesn't make the sun feel as though it is burning too much.
Still, SPF is a very important part of your daily skincare regime, whichever country you are in.
Reports suggest that daily SPF can actually help reduce the signs of ageing.
So it's never too late to start protecting your skin whatever age you are.
The best way to use daily sunscreen is to find one with an added moisturizer and minimum SPF of 30, moving up to SPF 50.
Apply a small amount over the top of your daily face serum.
I love Rejuvi Vitamin C Serum for daytime along with Sun Sense sun lotions.
They absorb into the skin without feeling sticky and work really well under make up.

Gold Leaf Toe Nails!
No, not really gold leaf but the next best thing.
Here in the Middle East everything glitters with glamour, so gold toe nails were just part of my everyday outfit!
A dry pedicure that's super long lasting, which stayed on for three weeks.
Minx nail transfers.
The plastic strip is cut to size and pasted onto the fingernail or toe nail and then heated to bond with an electric lamp.
There are many types of patterns in the Minx collection, including leopard print and zebra stripes.
Maybe for my next Safari holiday!

Aqua Drop Face Mask
As you know, I love writing about my latest beauty finds.
Aqua Drop Sleep Mask from The Face Shop is a super hydrating mask that works while you sleep.
What better way to enhance beauty Zzzzz's!
Just apply a small amount to clean skin, massage in and leave to work overnight.
Not just for dry skins either, as most complexions need that extra moisture boost from time to time.
Your skin will feel soft, supple and re hydrated by morning.

Convenient Compact Beauty
As a natural beauty addict, I'm always on the lookout for new products which not only work well but also make life a little easier.
'Beautification' can be quite time consuming and if you're a busy mum with very little 'me' time, then this product is a quick fix to gorgeous skin.
As you may know by now. I am a huge fan of loose mineral powders but I agree that they can sometimes be quite messy and not always easy to travel with.
I am just about to go on my hols and decided to pursue my hunt for a non clogging, non chalky compact that covers well but without looking heavy or caked on.
I found the perfect powder make up compact in my local supermarket!
Maybelline Clear Smooth All in One powder foundation with an added bonus of SPF 25.
I love the tones of the shades and found that Honey was the perfect shade for a medium toned skin.
For an even better finish, apply it over your favourite beauty base or balm.

Before & After Make Up
We all love a good before and after pic.
Especially of women who have been completely transformed with make up.
We look at models in magazines and see stunning beauty, all the while wondering just what really lies beneath!
Well, here's a treat for you all from a lovely young model I worked with recently on a shoot.
Andrea shared with me, her before make up face and the after make up shot.
Yes, she's naturally young and beautiful but still, here's what make up can do.
