what would YOU WEAR...

...  IF YOU WERE MARRYING YOUR PRINCE {AGAIN}?
Loving these frocks above... the first one is probably my most fave!
{AND IF I WAS INVITED TO THE ROYAL WEDDING
I'd love to wear this little number below...}


happy WEEKEND

WISHING YOU AN AWESOME WEEKEND...
{Just loving it this quote - hope you do too?}
"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure.
I make mistakes, I am out of control, and at times, 
hard to handle.
But if you can't handle me at my worst,
then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."
- Marilyn Monroe

friday FAVE #2: BRONZE EYELINER

TIRED OF BLACK AND BROWN EYELINER? TRY BRONZE...
It’s soft, but it still gives eyes definition. And it’s got a glow to it as well. Just be careful not to choose one with too much copper in it or you can end up making your eyes look all red and bloodshot, like you’ve been crying for days
—not the look you’re going for.

super-smooth MOVE

HERE'S SOMETHING YOU MAY NOT KNOW...
it's a mistake to shave your legs in the morning!
{I didn't know either - eeek!}
According to Allure, shaving at the end of a morning shower saves time but doesn't yield the smoothest shave. As you sleep, legs swell slightly, which can hide a portion of the hairs. Shave in the evening, and you'll get a closer finish.

run to HELP SAVE LIVES

DID YOU KNOW...
 that one in 9 women will be diagnosed with the breast cancer by the age of 85. 
And more than 2,600 women will die from the disease in a single year - making it the second most common cause of cancer deaths in females, after lung cancer.
Breast cancer is a disease that can affect anybody. Your mum, your sister, your best friend. Breast cancer does not discriminate.
Blackmores wants to help find a cure to this deadly disease and is encouraging everyone to participate in Australia’s largest Mother’s Day celebration, the Mother’s Day Classic - being held on Sunday 8 May. Blackmores is a national gold sponsor of this event which raises money for breast cancer research
 with all proceeds donated to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

insider info: MOISTURISER

TRICK OF THE TRADE...
Never to rub moisturiser into your face, pat it on. Rubbing actually takes it off your skin and disperses it in different places. Patting it on helps the skin soak it up.
Now you know! X

look younger CHEAP TRICK #11

LOSE THE POWDER...
{Matte faces were big in the 80s - not anymore!}
Instead of coating your face with powder foundation or heavier compact powders, {that can highlight fine lines}, look for loose powders and use sparingly - this leaves skin looking more youthful and dewy.
Gorgeous-ness +!
