Christmas is over, yet you still feel like you're carrying around that dreaded bloating feeling.
New Years Eve is only a couple of days away, and the $120 dress you bought cant be exchanged for the next size up. So, what can you do, you ask? Ah, get your pen and papers out ladies, you're in for a treat. (No, not that kinda treat, don't be greedy.)
1. Clean your bedroom.
No, really. It's not only therapeutic for your mind, but also refreshing for your soul. Start small, maybe with your closet. Then, start with organising your magazines, books and make-up. You will be surprised with how good you will feel after this.
2. Go for a brisk walk.
This should be a no-brainer. Exercise makes those endorphins of yours very happy. If you cannot bring yourself to go to the gym, at least pop your work-out gear on and go for a walk around the block. You might even be inspired to walk twice as long. Oh, and if you feel like doing something that's going to make you sweat, but you cant bare the sight of a gym, see here, for an easier way to get your heart pumping.
3. Brush your body.
When was the last time you really gave your skin a good ol' scrubbing and loving? The skin can have a build-up of dead skin cells and dry-looking areas, which really means your skin is looking pretty dull. No thanks.
That's when dry body brushing comes into the picture. It helps to clear the pores and rid the skin of impurities. As well as exfoliating the outer layer of your body, dry skin brushing increases blood circulation which helps to contribute to healthier muscle tone and better distribution of fat deposits (read, cellulite).
4. Detox.
You knew this was coming, lets not get hasty. After all that food you consumed, it's only fair that you give your inner self some TLC. So please, whip out your blenders and throw in all the greens in your fridge, and hey, why not add some coconut water too? Kicking off your mornings with a fresh and nutritious smoothie or fruit juice will not only be beneficial for your health, but also your skin. Try this for a couple of days, especially before NYE.
5. Me time.
You must be feeling pretty fresh after those four steps, right? So how do you complete this detox you ask? Well, by adding a fresh coat of tan with a side of mani of course!
In girl world, that is a fake tan and a manicure/pedicure. And whatever else you enjoy doing that makes you feel amazing! You will feel a hundred times better once you've treated your body from the inside, as well as the outside!
Tan, check. Nails, check. That dress that you bought for NYE that fits like a glove, check.
Come on girls, we've got a couple of days and we can do this!
xx Happy New Years everyone
