My beauty tips to everybody are the following: eat well and healthy, exercise, keep both your body and brain active, be a optimistic, positive person, keep good personal hygiene, have enough rest, drink plenty of water and to top it all off wear your best smile!
I understood that our body is really a reflection of how one feels. You feel lazy and bored, your body becomes weak and starts storing fat like it was a bag. Your skin becomes pale and lifeless.
You need to tell your body what its function is. When you exercise, you awaken your muscles, the more you exercise the more your body becomes aware of what its own function is. That is why it starts to burn calories and it grows muscles to make you stronger. But if you spend your days laying on a couch your body becomes useless and you start feeling helpless. Your body, just like your brain is like let's say...a beautiful, powerful car. Like a Porsche or a Ferrari. They need to be used properly and be pushed hard in order to maximize their potential...the more you use them, the faster you make that motor run, the better for the car.
If you are not active, truly your body becomes a bag to store fat. Your brain functions will slow down, your concentration capabilities will decrease and you will start to feel gloomy and sad.
The ancient Romans used to say in Latin "Mens sana in corpore sano", that is to say : "A healthy mind in a healthy body". It is very true.

| The best drink in the world: WATER |
It is really sad when the media try to sell people all kinds of miracle products for one's skin, for one's cellulite, for one's blood pressure or heart condition.
They won't solve your problems. You can solve your own problems and become the best you will ever be by starting to exercise and cut off your diet everything that is bad for you...that is : highly processed food, GMO /MSG, soda drinks, sugar, sweets and unhealthy junk food. Not to mention stay away from cigarettes and alcoholic beverages.

| Eat a lot of superfood salads! They are good for you |
 |
| Kale is one of the best superfoods on earth! Eat in great quantities! Other great superfoods you should indulge in are: Quinoa, chia seeds, pomegranates, avocados, blueberries |
That is step number one. You are what you eat. You eat unhealthy, your body will become full of toxins, will gain extra kgs that will be very hard to get rid of, your skin will degenerate and you will end up looking so much older than you really are.
The best thing for your skin and for your general well being is to drink plenty of water.
A Chinese woman, years ago, she told me that her best beauty secret was to drink a glass of water first thing in the morning. I took her advice very seriously as she was 50 and looked half her age.
Water really helps a lot getting rid of your eye bags and black circles under the eyes, makes your skin plump and young and revitalizes all your organs. It will also help you get rid of toxins and all bad substances in your body and will work together with your metabolism in helping you burn more calories and therefore lose weight. After all we are made of water! So keep drinking it. The ideal would be to drink 3 liters of water everyday. Not carbonated water, just natural water. Nothing is better than that. So many people go out dehydrated and they don't even know it. In reality it is so easy to be healthy, you just need to know or to learn how to be it! It is very sad that people need to learn these things, as we are born into a society that doesn't teach us the basics of healthy living!
Yesterday I took two pictures of myself...one with make-up one without. Check the difference!

| Me with make-up |
 |
| Me without make up |
The one with make-up was taken in the afternoon and the one without make-up was taken after I washed my face before going to bed. By taking a moment to look at myself in the mirror and also compared the two photos I came to the realization that I actually look a lot younger without make-up! So do I really need it? My answer is no! It is just that this society doesn't like people to be natural anymore. They want you to buy their products so that you can finally become beautiful, glamorous, splendid! But true beauty comes when you really take care of yourself, when you wipe that make up off and see that your skin is healthy after all!
And there is no make-up in the world that can make your skin better, it can only make it worse!
You are the one who controls the way you look, by eating healthy, exercising and avoiding drugs, alcohol and smoking.
I asked some people to look at this photo of me without make-up and tell me how old do they think I looked. The answer ranged from 15 to 25! Now, taking also 25 that is actually 14 years YOUNGER than I actually am, considering I am 39!
I was very happy to hear that alhamdulillah. So people, keep yourself healthy and bring out the beauty in you!
