There are No Ugly Women

“There is no such thing as an ugly woman – only a lazy one”

What highly enlightened individual said that? I believe it was a make-over specialist for the stars. And there are no truer words spoken! And every single woman has the potential to be even more beautiful with a little help…

If you’re not comfortable with your complexion, then don’t despair – apply a sheen of foundation, or get a little fresh air and the teeniest bit of sunshine. You can try some Witch Hazel to clear skin of blemishes and blackheads.

If your waistline is hanging over your jeans and that makes you depressed, then take up walking or some other exercise. One woman bought one of those mini tramps and every evening bounced around on it while she watched her favourite TV shows. A month later she had trimmed her waistline, toned her legs and lost a goodly amount of weight. Not only that, she seemed to glow with vitality and was fit enough to climb the Storey Bridge with her workmates… and fit into the wedding gown of her dreams!

If your hair frizzes like a wild thing with its finger in a live electrical socket, and you’re embarassed about it, then maybe it’s time to visit the hairdresser for a trim. Take some time out to make a DIY hair conditioning treatment at home to further nourish your flowing mane.

If people cringe everytime you flash your nails, then sit down and manicure until you’re ready to apply for a job as a hand model.

If your breasts aren’t as perky as you’d like them to be and you hunch your shoulders hoping no one will notice, then use a push-up bra or wear something that you feel won’t highlight them. (Personally, I haven’t had ‘perky breasts’ since I was a teenager – and who cares???)

If the hair on your legs or under your arms has become a bidding zone for a logging corporation then shave, or wax, or use a delap cream next time you shower or bath.

If your skin is drying and you’re beginning to feel like a dinosaur, cut out the fizzy drinks (they can be dehydrating) and up your water intake – either as pure H2O or in the form of water-rich fruit (avoid juices – they can be fattening and give you an energy spike that leaves you feeling drained later as the pancreas over reacts to balance the sugar boost).

If the blackheads on your nose are starting to look like intergalatic black holes, then wet a face-washer and gently circle it on your skin. Alternatively, try an exfoliant scrub.

Just a little effort can make a big difference!
