November Guide

It’s not quite the season to be merry, but it certainly is the time to get ready!  Most of us have a few weeks to prepare for the excess of the holiday season.  Whilst the onset of winter is not the time for a major detox – a little daily cleansing could be the perfect pre-emptive exercise.  This Months Gorgeous Girl is the dynamic founder of the Lemiena collection.  My Lust of the Month is a handy little wand from my new favourite make-up line and this month’s Gorgeous Treat is a little something extra from a wonderful new line of Body Treatments.

I’m a huge fan of Apple Cider Vinegar and this is the perfect time of year to introduce, or re-introduce it to your life.  It’s worth buying the good stuff which means it says ‘with The Mother’ on the label.  Like so many natural foods, Apple Cider Vinegar has multiple uses.  High in acetic acid which aids in the absorption of essential minerals.  Rich in enzymes and fiber - a splash in warm water before meals seems to be effective in suppressing the appetite.  It can ease a sore throat and diluted, it makes the perfect T zone toner. 

With little black dresses to get into and energy to boost, this is the time to up the exercise anti and clean up your diet.  With cocktails comes cocktail dresses and they are often a little more revealing than our average winter day dress but we can take pleasure in both with a little guidance. Re-enlist your favourite trainer or book with a pre-Christmas wellness booster.  Yes, the New Year helps to focus our minds on the valuable commodity of health but now is the time that we all went to shine most brightly.

It’s all going to get hectic so get ready – don’t try to do everything but find that perfect red lip to take you from day to evening in one powerful pout.  Buy a facemask – I have my favourites, from La Prairies 3 Minute Peel to Oskia’s Renaissance Mask – it will mimic the job of a good nights sleep.  And if you are over 30 buy some WOW root cover up.  Buy it now and have it for when you can’t get an appointment to touch up those routes two weeks before Christmas.  This stuff is magic, and covers grey in a touch of a brush with a very natural multi-dimensional colour that won’t budge until you wash!
