  • Beauty Resolutions? I Prefer Beauty “Nurture”

    Beauty Resolutions? I Prefer Beauty “Nurture”

    Beauty Resolutions on vickiarcher.com

    I’m Not sure about the word resolution.

    Resolutions – somewhat hard to stick to. Perhaps intention or goal would be more apt? I don’t like the thought of any more added pressure; we all have plenty of that. What about nurture?

    What should we focus on?

    Yes to trying new products and making our make-up experience more adventurous – that never hurts.

    I’m thinking on a deeper level if we want to nurture and find ourselves in a strong and positive place. Reading over my words on beauty, this little book is such a positive reinforcement. Even though the words are by me and from my heart, I need reminders too.

    1. Start Practising What We Think

    I think about beauty and skincare a lot. The good, the bad, and the so-so’s, it’s all in my mind.

    I may be guilty of not practicing what I preach; regular exfoliation, face masks, hair treatments and moisturizing to name a few.

    2. Make Bodycare Equally As Important As Skincare

    This one’s a no-brainer yet it’s still something I am less vigilant about.

    Moisturizing the body straight after washing will keep our skin hydrated and have us glowing from every angle.

    3. Pay More Attention To The Eyes

    Face masks are fun, luxurious and relaxing. Some of them can work wonders and it’s time I applied this magic to my eyes.

    Gel patches, creams and masks; there’s plenty out there to make them sparkle.

    4. Be Rigorous With Supplements For Hair, Nails and Skin

    Our skin is incredibly important and sometimes our diet may not be giving it the nutrients it really needs. Probably no fault of our own but added “D”, “Zinc” and “C” are essential in most cases, not to mention many others.

    5. Be More Creative With New Products

    Over time we’ve found it difficult to stray from favourites, but there are wonderful products out there yet to try.

    An open mind has me finding new favourites.

    6. Organisation

    Arranging the cupboards will make my favourite products more accessible and remind me to use them.

    7. Importance Of Exercise

    It may be the last thing we want to do some days but regular exercise is wonderful for the skin.

    Looking after our bodies, and ultimately our minds will give us a natural glow like no other.

    8. Sleep More

    Much like exercise, getting at least 7 or 8 hours of sleep a night will have a similar effect.

    My forever challenge – sleep longer, sleep sounder.

    9. Spend Less Time On Our Devices

    Have you ever looked to see your daily screen time? Mine is horrifying.

    Note to self: Less screen time can mean better sleep and concentration.

    10. Find More Happiness and Joy

    Finally, and perhaps the most important resolution is a focus on happiness.

    Spending more time doing the things we love, with the people we love is the best kind of beauty secret.

    Being realistic and making smart targets is the way of making sure our nurturing is second nature rather than a long list of forgotten wishes. xv

  • Natalie Sexton shares fashion and beauty resolutions for 2021

    We’re one month into 2021, how are you doing keeping up those resolutions? If not, how about starting some new ones, focusing on health and beauty?

    Fashion and lifestyle expert Natalie Sexton is bringing her top 2021 resolutions to the show, demonstrating how to take the pressure off and how to work these resolutions into everyday life.

    Update Your Skincare

    Even the oiliest of the skin can use some help in the winter months with replenishing moisture and reducing redness. This winter more than ever we are heading outside so we need to keep our skin calm and nourished and well attended to.

    Getting into a regular morning and evening routine is really a great way to ensure your skin health and it doesn’t have to be an overwhelming task. If you are looking to add something new to your cleanse, tone, and moisturize routine then a Spring Water Spray is an ideal start to your makeup routine every day because it’s a super-easy way to soothe, hydrate, and calm sensitive, irritated skin – just spritz lightly on your face before applying makeup. I also use it after a workout or walk outside and as my last step before bed to set my nighttime moisturizer.

    Amp Up Your Makeup Bag with multi-use products

    Here’s another great tip in line with updating your skincare routine this year: take advantage of multi-tasking beauty products! You can save time and money with hard-working formulas that offer multiple benefits. From Smashbox, a brand that I love, their Healthy Glow All-In-One Tinted Moisturizer is a makeup bag must.

    A tinted moisturizing formula does it all: it primes, moisturizes, perfects, and gives you SPF 25 broad-spectrum protection – in 1 easy step. ALWAYS look for SPF in your base product – we forget about it in the winter months but we still need it just as much as we did in the summer. This one has rose extract, hyaluronic acid, peptides, and more to give you natural, dewy coverage and hydration for up to 24 hours!

    Brighten Your Smile

    Your smile is one of the first things people notice about you, so it’s important to keep your pearly whites polished. Aside from brushing, many of us have invested in teeth whitening treatments to brighten their smiles — BUT those kits can cost hundreds of dollars. With endless Zoom/Skype calls for the foreseeable future a brighter whiter smile is your perfect accessory to make you feel confident and polished looking this year.

    I found a super affordable and easy to use the option that you can easily find at your local drugstore! Make sure you look for something that is enamel-safe in a tooth whitening treatment, and also not complicated to use – an application pen makes it mistake-proof! Another bonus with this system is it whitens while you sleep AND it removes 15 years of stains in just one week when used as directed!

    Update Your ZOOM/SKYPE Style with ACCESSORIES

    Zoom and other video conferencing tools are a must in our lives. Whether it’s keeping up with your coworkers, joining in a happy hour with friends or date night, video conferencing is how we are all staying connected. Now that we have all figured out how to master our lighting, connection & set-up, we also want to look polished & put together for any occasion.

    Invest in a few key accessories & save your money on the really trendy ones – for example, a perfect pair of hoops will be on rotation forever but a bedazzled hair barrette might only be around for a season or two.

    I have put together a list of my must-have accessories, that can be worn for a multitude of occasions and easily mixed and matched with your “waist- up” staples!
