Lifestyle Tips That Will Make You Gorgeous!

Lifestyle goes hand in hand with beauty. Don’t believe me? Well, what you eat, how you live your life and the products you use all optimise how gorgeous you can look and feel. Our skin is like a mirror: it reflects what’s going on inside. Blemishes, dry patches and aging skin are often related to bad lifestyle choices that lead to dietary toxins. It’s these toxins – and we all have them – that ruin the way our body and skin behaves from day to day. Even if you look great now – you have no idea how much better your skin, hair and body (in general) could look. I’m going to give you 3 sure- fire ways to maximise your beauty just by tiny alterations to your lifestyle.

Cherie’s Ultimate Lifestyle Tips (Part One) -

1. What You Should Eat: I’m not going to say ‘eat healthier’ because I’m sure you have heard that a thousand times. Not only is it tough to maintain a healthy eating lifestyle on a constant basis, it’s also extremely dull picturing your future on carrot sticks and water. I could tell you that a lifestyle centred around tomatoes, lemons, watercress and berries would benefit you since they are amazing skin boosters – and I’d be telling the truth – but I’m sure you want a quicker and easier way to becoming smoking hot. So, instead, I offer you the exact ingredients necessary to get gorgeous, radiant skin… fast and also where to get them.

Firstly, my all time favourite – Organic Udo’s Choice Ultimate Oil Blend 500ml. I absolutely swear by this. I wish I had Dr Udo’s personal email so I could tell him I love him! It’s simple, you pop a tablespoon of it into your smoothie or water and half an hour later, your skin feels like you have borrowed Aphrodite’s face for the day. Your skin is so soft and I have even experienced dry patches clearing up like magic. Plus, it has a full array of total wellness benefits that work alongside the beauty aspect, so if you want to find out how it can help to make you gorgeous – get a bottle. It is a ‘must – have’ in my life for sure.

Buy Spirulina. My uncle Justin – who has been at so many world class seminars on nutrition and lifestyle – has spent a fortune finding out what works and what doesn’t (especially when it comes to looking amazing.) One time, when I was at his house, he put this green powder into my fruit juice. I was horrified, I didn’t want to touch it never mind actually eat it! But, the truth is, Spirulina is very mild tasting, almost refreshing on the tongue. Plus, it just happens to be one of the most naturally nutrient rich foods on earth.

Spirulina has the most remarkable concentration of working nutrients ever known in any food, plant, grain or herb. It actually contains ALL of the essential amino acids and so is described as a ‘complete protein. Within minutes of eating it, you get a noticeable burst of energy (which I found made my face look instantly radiant.) It’s really unbelievable and has increased my quality of life on so many levels. After all, what you put inside your body is reflected in the health and beauty outside of it. I buy the organic powder only (don’t buy the tablets because the absorption rate is lower in tablet form) .

If you buy these two skin savers as part of a reasonable lifestyle, you are already half way there to your beauty transformation.

2. What you should drink – What I am about to say will make you groan in the same fashion as when your mother told you to clean your room but unfortunately it’s so true that I have to mention it.

It’s Water. Yes, boring I know… but honestly, since I started drinking just under 2 litres a day, my skin glows like I’m in love. It’s such simple addition to your lifestyle and yet I find it more effective than any cream. Water plumps out the skin, flushes away imperfections and keeps your skin hydrated and smooth. I also find that adding a slice of lemon to it is even more potent, with faster results. I didn’t start on two litres but trust me, make an effort and as your water intake increases, so will your confidence.

3.Make your own face mask/skin tonic

Let me tell you something – creams with “extract of…” (fill the blank) are usually complete rubbish. Unless they are organic, you are going to get a whole catalogue of chemicals that over time will actually cause you skin problems and damage your body. Get the right cost effective natural ingredients and you will see better results for longer, all while saving some money.

Here is the really simple miracle tonic that I started using a few years ago when I had horrific skin problems. My lifestyle consisted of work, work and did I mention work? I was run down and my skin knew it. Pimples, dryness, you name it – I had it. I was even using cream for months that the doctor prescribed but it never worked. This mask, without exaggeration, cleared up my skin and made it soft and more youthful in 6 hours!

You will need: 1 tsp Extra virgin olive oil 5 tbsp Organic Apple Cider Vinegar 10 tbsp Green Tea (To make a scrub, add sugar until thick and 1 tsp honey)

Mix it up, dab it on with a cotton pad, leave it alone. Wake up in the morning a goddess. Perfect.

If you add the above products to your lifestyle, I guarantee that in a very short time you will wonder how you ever lived without them. I feel truly gorgeous after I have used these tips and I know that you will also.

Have a wonderfully radiant day,
Cherie

Family Home Furniture

Furniture for the large family

You can deal with the space requirements of your home through the planned purchase of the practical triple bunk beds that are especially made for large families or schools. These are the ultimate space saving items that you have in your grasp and you should not lose focus on the important things. It is not easy working your way through the different elements that make the family home work. But the purchase of these items can be a good thing. You expect practicability when you go for the buying and selling of furniture for the home as well as other institutions with large numbers of occupants. It does not have to be an establishment when you buy these items.

Even the domestic settings could do with the trading of space saving furniture that is meant to ensure the efficient use of available living spaces in the home. You are effectively looking for something that works instead of concentrating on the stereotypes about this type of furniture. It is not important who you are but how you are going to use the furniture that is available to you. The advice that many people need is to go for the right choices and not the popular choices. That way you can concentrate on the acquisition of good quality furniture with the added advantage of being able to save on space. If you are easily swayed by trends then the results will not be particularly nice for you in the long run.

The there are great benefits to be had from the deals in furniture items with the good looks and the ability to use space effectively within a given context. These are items that are relatively inexpensive yet they bring an unprecedented utility to the way that you do things. They might even transform your home in ways that are beneficial. For example you might now be in a position to receive visitors and this will make your social life richer. It is very hard to think of the exchange of various products with the sole aim of maximizing the potential within residential units in a completely neutral. They are items that are not iconic but they enable home owners to make the most of their properties.

You might be worried that your home may end up looking like a school dormitory. This is a valid concern but it is somehow mitigated by the way that you can save on space. The use of the searching of different retail outlets with the possibility of getting furniture items that improve the space coverage of the different home furnishing items can be very useful to your family. In effect you are sacrificing the stylistic concerns for the true benefits of the item. That is all about being practical in the way that you use the items that are available to you. That is the reason why many families are carrying out the process of purchasing high quality items for the home environment with different income groups or their needs.

How Will Fuel Prices Affect Your Travel Plans?

There are many business owners in the hospitality industry who are getting nervous about the possibility of a lean time over the summer season as more people are deciding to change their travel plans due to the increasing cost of travel.

We are already seeing the affect that the increased price of fuel is having and this, coupled with the difficulty many people have faced with their mortgages has made cost cutting a necessity.

People are more inclined to have vacations closer to home and use the money that they have saved from the reduced fuel bill to enjoy local activities.

For many businesses in the hospitality industry, this is the time of the year when they have to earn the majority of their income and to have the cost of a barrel of oil to pass the $127 mark is bad news for their summer season.

Not only do they have to contend with the possibility of less occupancy but they also have the added costs that are associated with any area of their business that requires freight.

So how will your travel plans be affected by the increase in the price of fuel?

If you are like many people who are trying to stay within their budget then your travel plans might need to be considered too.

Maybe it is time to look closer at sharing transport with others and the costs associated with that travel.

The budget minded person could find that this will not only save on the fuel bill but add a new and fun dimension to their holiday plans.

Did the Bank Bailout Help Small Businesses?

Just as owning a home was assumed to be a positive financial strategy for individuals, small companies owning commercial real estate was typically seen as a routine and constructive piece of their commercial financing during the period leading up to the most recent financial crisis. Both of these assumptions start to fall apart very quickly when it is difficult or impossible to obtain the underlying real estate loans from banks. Real estate continues to be a major component of the overall economy, and ongoing difficulties involving either obtaining or refinancing commercial mortgage loans presents severe problems for both societal economics in general and small business economics in particular.

Did the Bank Bailout Help Small Businesses?

One of the primary arguments made in favor of bailing out banks in 2008 was that it would permit the restoration of “normal financing” to businesses of all sizes everywhere. Seven years later most small businesses are still waiting for bailout funding to “trickle down” to them. Working capital loans and commercial mortgages are missing in action for many commercial borrowers.

Real estate has regularly been in economic news for both good reasons and bad reasons during the past several decades. Starting around 2005, concerns began appearing about the financial health of both real estate and the overall economy. What we did not know at the time was that banks began making speculative investments in financial derivatives tied to real property at about the same time. Some of these investment practices produced massive losses that precipitated the public banking crisis emerging in 2007 and resulting in a widespread bank bailout program in 2008. Even the few instances in which these derivatives produced profits for the banks proved to be controversial because the profitable investing was frequently at the expense of banking customers.

Zombie Banks and Troubled Banks

Here are two of the real estate and banking problems that are still very actively impairing the small business economy:

  • Zombie Banks are still operating – a Zombie Bank is one with a negative net worth (liabilities exceeding assets).
  • The FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) Troubled Banks List still has more than 200 banking institutions on the list.

It is worth noting that the FDIC does not publicize the problem bank list or name specific banks on the list – probably fearing a “run on the banks” if they did so. The recent “bank holiday” in Greece illustrates how quickly bank depositors can lose confidence in banking institutions. But the FDIC does release the number of banks on their troubled bank list on a quarterly basis. For example, the March 2015 total of problem banks as defined by the FDIC was 253. In comparison, the total was more than 850 banks at the peak of the recent financial crisis – but there were less than 50 troubled banks before the 2008 bank bailouts.

What to Do When Banks Say No

Small business owners must draw their own conclusions about the current financial health of banks, but it seems unlikely that a “Troubled Bank” will be able to make a “normal” level of small business loans. If banks are still saying “No” to routine commercial financing for creditworthy small businesses, what is the recommended response? Small business owners should actively review alternatives that include non-bank financing, reducing business debt and increasing sales with cost-effective solutions such as business proposal writing. At some point the practical need to fire their bank and banker will by necessity become one of the realistic actions by a commercial borrower in need of business financing but unable to obtain it from their current banking institution. In such a scenario, “You’re fired” can quickly become another example of life imitating art.
