Dear Kylie-Jane,
This time of year is just gorgeous - not too hot and
not too cold.... but just remember to keep adjusting your foundation
colour as you get more or less sun as you may find your skin
colouring will change. It is always a good idea to have a
"summer" and a "winter" foundation and when your
skin colouring is in-between you can mix them together to get the
perfect colour!
This week we are going to chat about:-
"Nuts" - To eat or not to eat? &
"Slimming Make-Up - some tricks!"
Have a great day !!!!!!!!!!!

 Q. I am very
health conscious of what I eat, however I LOVE NUTS... but I
have heard conflicting stories that they can be both good
and bad for you.. what is the truth?
A. Nuts are
fattening. People avoid nuts because of fat content but don't realise
they're actually avoiding the good fats (mono- and polyunsaturated
fats). They are high-density lipoproteins which balance out
low-density lipoproteins (plaque, sticky blood, raised blood
pressure, raised cholesterol).
Research
shows that eating just a handful of nuts every day can reduce your
chances of heart disease, cholesterol and even diabetes.
Top-four nuts
Macadamias are the
great Aussie nut. They are considered the world's finest nut and are
the only native Australian plant to become an international food.
Macadamia nuts are especially high in vitamin E so they're great for
your heart.
Lots of people stay away from macadamias because they think they're
high in fat but they're highest in good fat and lowest in
carbohydrates. For people on low-carb diets, they're the nuts they
should be having.
Research has shown that macadamias can help lower blood cholesterol
levels, are high in fibre, have no cholesterol, contain a very high
proportion of monounsaturated fat, vitamins, minerals and protein
essential in a healthy diet.
Almonds are really high in protein, making them a perfect
mid-morning snack. They will help fight sugar cravings in the
afternoon. Almonds are also high in calcium.
Cashews make our bones and teeth stronger because they're
packed with calcium. Cashews are low in fat and high in
carbohydrates.
Walnuts are packed with omega-3 fatty acids so they're great
for your brain and help keep you regular. Walnuts are often used as a
constipation remedy in China for the elderly.
- Remember, try to avoid salted nuts - raw or roasted are the
healthier choice
- If you suffer from a nut allergy avoid all nuts.
- Just because nuts are healthy doesn't mean you can pig out,
try to stick to 10 nuts per day.

Want to learn the secret to applying slimming makeup?
Today your
going to learn how to highlight the features that make you look
radiant, feminine and slim!
1.
Lovely lashes
To achieve goddess-like lashes, don't be afraid to fake it!
"False eyelashes enhance what you already have by opening up the
eyes and lengthening your natural lashes".
We recommend small to medium-sized individual falsies, rather than
full length lashes for a more natural look. "Apply using
tweezers and a hand held mirror. Start at the outer corner and work
inwards." Allow to dry for a minute then coat with mascara.
· For
a dramatic effect, trim the lashes so they vary in length and apply
longer ones toward the outer corners.
·
Gluggy mascara? Dip the wand in Vaseline or baby oil to clean.
2.
Lip gloss
Gone are the days of dark lipstick and lip
pencil. Steer clear of both to achieve a natural, feminine look
instead. "Choose a soft pink or clear gloss that has a touch of
shimmer."
· For
fuller looking lips, dab bronzer in the centre of your bottom lip.
·
Smaller lips? Colour the entire lip area with a nude pencil before
applying gloss.
By highlighting muscle tone and bone definition, you
create shadows and a leaner look. You can't go past a good bronzer.
"It gives a subtle sunkissed glow and is one of the most
versatile makeup products you can own."
We suggest using bronzer on any skin that is being exposed. "Use
a soft, big brush and ensure you blend it very well."
· Bronzer
can be used as a blush and eyeshadow as well.
