Sunday Thoughts: I Want To Run Away

Running away from your problems is a race you’ll never win. You may not be proud of all the things you’ve done in the past, but right now is a new beginning. It’s doesn’t matter who you used to be; what matters is who you are today. What you do TODAY can improve all of your tomorrows. So don’t run; instead do something that creates positive change.

How To Justify New Heels, Every Month

Buy here

Sometimes life is unkind and can send us into a financially difficult storm. I am here to justify why you should still buy yourself high heels (one pair a month, max!)

Get here

Never leave home shabby and unkept - because if you don't care why should anyone else? The mantra is 'the worse the situation, the higher the heel!

Walking in heels requires concentration, therefore making you think clearer, and coming up with faster solutions to solving your problems. See? now you don't need to pay for all that therapy you would have had to.

Buying a pair of more expensive heels is really a savvy investment. Cheap shoes don't last long, and you only have to go out and buy more...

Heels lift spirits as well as bums, and tone thighs. So work out and therapy in a few foot steps? A decent enough pair of heels can be equal to a weekly gym workout, a pay rise with a bigger office, and can also lead to lavishing of gifts, dinners, drinks, theatre trips and so on. A real investment you see!

Look at it like this and you can justify more than one pair a month really.

How To Make Natural Blusher!

Making your own natural makeup is a beautiful way to feel good about what you’re putting on your skin, and this recipe only has a few ingredients.

All you really need is some beet root powder, but you can customise your shade using some other natural ingredients, as well.

To make beet root powder, first boil or bake a few beets, then peel them, cut them into thin strips, and dehydrate them using an oven or a dehydrator. If you use an oven, you’ll want to keep it at 140 degrees, with the door propped open to avoid moisture buildup. After 8-10 hours, they should be fully dehydrated. To turn them into a powder, put them in a food processor until you have a fine powder.

Or if like me you are a little lazy I opted to purchase beet root powder instead. You should be able to find some at your health food store (Holland and Barret for me!) but you can certainly purchase it online if not.

To customise your shade, you can add arrowroot powder to lighten it, (baking soda the non natural route though!) cocoa powder to darken it, and ground ginger to add a little shimmer! Play around with different shades until you find what works best for you. I personally love bright pink blush, so I like using beet root powder in its pure form.

Pop in in a jar and voilà!
