No Time To Look Young


Most of us are going through pretty stressful times trying to balance home and work at the same time. The ailing economy is not on our side on this note either, so, I don’t blame you for not having the time to look young and beautiful. And yet, the need remains. 

The best solution is to find some shortcuts that would tide us over the tough times and yet smoothen out the creases that the stress in our everyday lives have created in our lives….not to mention on our faces. 

First of all, we may not have the kind of money that we used to to go for spa treatments, facials and massages. But the good news is that most of these things can be done at home – you don’t have to spend a lot of time and money trying to look young anymore. Home remedies are not as complicated as it sounds….as long as you spend a little bit of time on yourself at the end of everyday, I guarantee you that you’ll soon see the difference. 

The first one on the list would be to relax your feet. Using some Epsom salt, peppermint and chamomile tea, soak your feet in a basin of this concoction. This formula is particularly relaxing for sales people who are consistently on the run or people who spend a huge portion of their time on their feet. It’s detoxifying and relaxing at the same time. 

Instead of spending a lot of money on a bath foam or shower cream, why not do what the Queen of the Nile did – bath herself, long and hard, with milk? All you need is mint, rosemary, orange peel water and dried milk. After soaking the mint, rosemary and orange peel in boiling water for some time, strain it and cool it, and then mix it with the milk. Soak in the tub for as long as your wish for that shiny and perfectly healthy skin look!

You can’t leave your hair in a mess while you get your glowing skin, so, while you’re soaking yourself, rub half a cup of pure honey into your hair and cover it up…leave it for as long as you wish or for 15-20 minutes. 

Instead of heading out and paying a huge bundle on a facial, why not use lavender essential oil and mix it up with base oil and perform a massage for yourself. I have a book on how to give yourself a good facial massage and I feel that it’s possible to give yourself the home-made ‘facelift’ yourself in the comfort of your own home. 

With all these home-made recipes to looking younger, it should convince you that a terrible economy does not equal a terrible-looking you. You can still look young and beautiful with a little bit of effort!

If Everything Else Fails, Copy A Celebrity



Every single one of us, married or unmarried, attached or completely single, want to have people comment, ‘Wow! You don’t look like you’ve aged one bit!’ and it’s been more than ten years since you’ve met each other. Most of us are either against or can’t stand or don’t believe in plastic surgery so let’s just throw that idea out of the window. 

But if there’s a secret that I truly believe in, it’s this – if all else fails, follow a celebrity. 

Celebrities pay mountains of money to have their looks worked out so that they can look ageless. Without throwing names around, you’ll know that some celebrities have the best makeup artists, hair-dressers and costume designers they can afford. While we’re not in the same league, there are cheat sheets. 

First of all, if you want to look absolutely gorgeously youthful, visit celebrity gossip websites a little and if you see a look that you really like (and please make it an achievable one!), save the image. Trust me, even if you’re really good at making yourself look young, you won’t, probably, be successful during the first few tries. 

The trick is to take it one step at a time. First, the hair. What is that you like about the hair on the celebrity….is it the curls or the color? The lipstick…what shade of mauve is that? From the eye-shadow right down to the shoes that the celebrity is wearing, note everything down. 

Now, I know it sounds kind of crazy but I DO have a small little notebook that I carry around in my tote bag….and inside this little note book contains small pictures of stuff that I like that the celebrities are using. When out shopping with my girlfriends, I would sneak little peaks into the notebook to remind myself (if I don’t do that, chances are….I’d veer off mark by a lot!) what it is, exactly that I am looking for. 

Trust me, with this formula, it’s hard to fail because after a couple of shopping trips, you’re bound to find something that looks alike but does not cost quite as much. 

Hair-wise, be realistic and listen to your hair-dresser. What looks nice and young on a celebrity may not suit you because of the shape of your face or color of your skin. Bring along a couple of options to the hair-dressers and consult him or her about the practicality of having that cut. 

That’s right. So, if you want to look like or be a man-magnet and defy age and gravity, take your cue from a celebrity.

Healthy Living Promotes Youthfulness


The younger you are, the better you look. When I take a look at my kid’s skin, I can’t help but run over and caress his cheeks because they’re so…..pure, and young….and FLAWLESS!!! We, on the other hand, have to work ourselves to the edge of sanity just to get ourselves to look good. Anyway, that’s something we can’t fight but if there’s one thing we can do to stay youthful, look and smell beautiful, it would be to live a healthy life. 

First, we need to start with ourselves. There’s no way we can assert or teach our kids how to eat right when we’re not. Americans have one of the unhealthiest diets in the world with an obesity rate and percentage that scales the roof of the highest building on earth! That’s shocking. So, to look young and beautiful, let’s do something really simple and that would be to start living a healthier lives ourselves and be an exemplary model to our kids. 

Drinking lots of water is a must. I know your teacher taught you this when you were in grade school but I feel the need to repeat it because many of us tend to forget it. Our body is made out of mostly water, if we are dehydrated, there is no way no earth we can look beautiful and young. Our system need water, our skin need water….everything relies heavily on our water consumption. 

Fruits and vegetables is also a must. The biggest (and sometimes strongest) animals in the world are vegetarians….and I suppose this says something about how important it is to eat lots of vegetables and fruits on a daily basis. The moment you start consuming more fruits and vegetables, people will start noticing how alive you look, how youthful you have become and more importantly, how great you feel about yourself.

The other thing that worries me is this – how little time we have left for our kids when work is over. In order to stay young and beautiful, we need to take time off and be with the kids. One of the best ways to do that is to encourage them to exercise with you. Take them outdoors and hide their Nintendos….they’ll live, don’t worry. They’ll whine about it for a while but take them outdoors and just enjoy the sunshine. While you get to spend precious time with the kids, you are also absorbing some of that youthful energy yourself. 

Anti-aging products and spa services can help you but you can’t do it without helping yourself. Talk to the kids about the importance of living healthily, eating good food and how you’re going to be more active in joining the green movement. 

No, you don’t have to be a politician to do that because you can be green right from the comfort of your own home. Talk to your kids about how we all can contribute to the health of the earth. 

Health, I believe, makes a person young and beautiful. If that’s what you’re looking for, an anti-aging perfume could do you wonders but at the end of the day, it’s up to you to really do something about everything else.

Oh, Mommy, You Smell Yummy!


One of the biggest challenges to being a mother, a wife or an aging woman caring for little ones is this….most of the time, you either smell like laundry detergent or garlic. That isn’t very sexy, I am telling you! Men, with or without a keen sense of smell, instantly conjures up the image of you baking cookies and not someone he would like to, you know, get a little closer to at all. And then, let’s say this man that I am talking about here is your husband or partner….that spells trouble in the long run.

 

The tough part of the deal about being a woman is that we need to make that extra effort to look good even when we’ve got a whole long list of tasks to complete on a daily basis. That’s the bad news. The good news is that….it’s not impossible.

 

Let’s just say you’ve made a date with your spouse or partner and you’ve booked the babysitter to come in at the right time. You’re all excited but anxious at the same time. You’ve been married to the same person for some time and you want to feel and look a little different….to put a little bit of magic back into the relationship and marriage. Things are getting a little boring, you think.

 

Here’s what you can do.

 

First thing first, go and get yourself that sexy, slinky little number you saw a month ago but didn’t think you should buy it because you thought you wouldn’t look good in it. NOW is the right time to go and get it. Trust me, when you’re done, you WILL look and feel much younger. Get the highlights done up right now too when the kids are in school. You don’t have to do anything dramatic, of course, just the highlights would be fine. Highlights can give you a completely different look despite the small changes.

 

Smelling good is another thing that you’re going to have to work on. Try getting yourself a bottle of perfume that contains the following ingredients; pineapple, mango and some greens. The smell of these ingredients makes people feel comfortable being around you. It’s also associated with childhood memories – it’s young, energetic and full of life. Ingredients like Jasmine and Cherry Blossom will give you the sexy boost you need because it attracts men to women like ants to sugar…and THAT is based on extensive research! And if the perfume contains earthy tones like musk, dry wood and vanilla, then you’re going to smell at least eight years younger.

 

This…is something that I promise you!

Regular Skincare For Men A MUST!


Most of the friends I know who worries about their looks, acne scars from their teenage years and wrinkles around their brows tend to be closet fans of skincare products. They may non-chalantly browse through their girlfriend’s magazine and stealing glances at the anti-aging products that they see in there but they make great effort to not let their friends or girlfriend know that they’re actually interested in some of the products. 

One friend of mine had to email me secretly about an anti-aging fragrance that I am working on and at the end of the email, he p.s.’ed me….please don’t let anyone else know I asked!

So, in view of this current trend of men looking into anti-aging skincare regiments and skincare products, I’ll address this one today. 

Taking care of your skin, men or women is a necessary part of your life. Whatever your lifestyle or work is like, you can’t run away from it. By virtue of the fact that your skin is the largest organ in your body, you HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE but to pay a little bit of attention to it. 

Cleansing with proper cleanser suitable for your skin (not SOAP or SHAMPOO!!!) is crucial. Normal body soap or shampoo is too harsh for the delicate skin on your skin. I don’t always think that toning is important for men, in general, but it’s fantastic if you could because it’s the part where removal of dirt, grime, sweat (no makeup), and dead skin cells are removed. Then you moisturize. I am quite sure that you’re familiar with this step….or at least this TERM….moisturize. 

As a rule of thumb, the older you are, the dryer your skin gets. That is why even men need to consult with a beautician or a dermatologist every once in a while. The product that you’re used to could change over time. And it also depends on your lifestyle and your diet. 

As for fragrances, I bet you don’t know very much about how much your scent actually affects the opposite sex. Sure, I know you splash on a dash or two of cologne when you’re heading out to the bar but what about when you’re shopping or when you’re out to the office? Your scent alone will determine how people perceive you, not only the sexual attractive scale. 

As unappealing as it is to you as a man, putting on a facebook in the privacy of your own home is a good idea. Make sure everyone’s knocked out or no one is home to put on the mask. If you’re open about this with your spouse, kids or girlfriend, go ahead and splatter some on right in front of them. It’s good education for the kids and you will have something extra in common with your other half!

Do you know scent plays a crucial role in the way people perceive you. If you’re wearing a fragrance that makes people think of you as a couple of years younger, would you go for it? To find out more about the revolutionary anti-aging perfume, head on over to http://www.agelessfantasy.com 

Anti-Aging – Men Care Too!

A friend of mine once whispered in my ear, “Where do you go for facials?” Unfortunately, we were there with a bunch of friends and one of the girls giggles loudly, “Why? Don’t tell me you want to go for FACIALS?!” And this goes without saying….the rest of the gang burst out into loud guffaws and this guy of mine turned as red as the red-black checkered table-cloth in front of us.


Defiantly, I told them off by saying, “And? There’s something wrong with THAT?”


Silence.


I’ve always been of the opinion that everyone, men included, have the right to look good and feel good. Just because women tend to age or look aged a little faster does not make all the anti-aging products, creams and treatments exclusive to them. It is because of the mentality that society has about men going for facials or using anti-aging products that scares them off.


Sadly, it is also true that the world of cosmetics and skincare is firmly targeted on women and that is no one’s fault because women are more predisposed towards beauty and are more aware of their outward appearance..


This may come as a surprise to come of the older generation (I might even term is as shock or disgust) but more men are beginning to put more than a little effort into maintaining their looks. They’re literally soaking it up. Don’t believe me? Take a good, long look at some of the advertisements in the papers today – wherever you are. If you can spot one single advertisement for skincare product or facials for men, there you have it.


These men, not merely metrosexuals, are educating themselves about looking good, smelling good, feeling good and dressing up to impress. While we, women, have been doing that for decades, it’s about time some men catch up. It’s not a bad thing, if you think about it.


Anti-aging products like creams, skincare products and fragrances is a booming industry….an explosion waiting to happen. Some large International companies have begun marketing their ‘for men’ skincare products and we have done the same too for fragrances and that is because the fundamental requirements for men and women are poles apart! This caused a huge upsurge in men anti-aging skincare lines that men grab without spending a spare thought on.


The men are responding, the women are cautious, the industry is smiling. Fantastic, isn’t it?
