Beauty Tips
and Tricks


Squeeky Clean Teeth
teethDid you know flossing not only helps you maintain great gums and teeth, but also freshens your breath? Brushing isn't enough to remove all the food that sits in your mouth. The plaque that sits between your teeth gets pretty gross and can cause bad breath! Once a day makes a huge difference, and after meals is even better. Just take it step by step and I promise you will see a difference! And remember girls, after six months it's time to get a new toothbrush!!!


Ever have itchy legs?
legsIt may be your shaving habits! Shaving too often can irritate your skin. Try to let the hair grow a little before you re-shave. Exfoliate the area with a loofah after shaving to remove dirt build-up. Moisturize right after you shave... it will help your skin to be silky smooth, and not so itchy!


Exploring Colour
coloursThis season, it's all about the layering! For tanned and darker complexions try to accentuate your style with aqua, sorbet pink, peach or orange with white or choclate brown layers. For lighter complexions try richer colours of bright blue, orange, punk and yellow. Remember to mix, match and have fun with it. It's all about fun and being chic!



Casual up-do

Don't forget the toes!
It's flip flop season and your toes are on display. Beautify your feet with a nice pedicure, often. You can do it yourself. For a fresh clean look, try doing it a French white-tipped style. To get your French tip straight try using a tooth pick or tape, it works for me! To keep the white parts from chipping, be sure to apply a nice shiny clear coat on top. While you're at it, pumice those heels... you may as well go all out, people notice feet!


Your Skin is Thirsty

If you want to look great in a cute tank, skirt or pair of shorts this summer, think of your skin as an accessory... use your cream!
