Words That Make A Difference #4



For this weeks quote I want to focus on self-love & self-worth.

I think it is so easy to get weighed down by what other people think, so much so that you lose what should be the essence of what makes you who you are. We all do it; we worry what people think of what we wear, what products we use, what we say, how we come across...

Of course you need to be sensitive to other people, and have self-awareness, but not to the extent that your happiness relies exclusively on them. Don't let it absorb who you are and take your identity. So don't wear something for someone else's approval, don't do something because you think it's what you should do - do it for you and don't lose yourself.

You can be happy with yourself because of yourself, you don't need other people's approval.

Drink Me Beautiful - Warm Lemon Water



Today I want to share a simple, yet effective top tip to help your skin glow.

I've mentioned before that I don't have the worlds clearest skin,  and so I've spent quite a but of time perfecting a good routine to help give me as clearer skin as possible. A key part of this routine is drinking warm lemon water every morning before breakfast.


Fresh lemon juice has wonderful properties - it cleanses your system, provides vitamin C to help clear skin, balances excess stomach acid as well as many other things.

I find that drinking it first thing in the morning before eating anything has made a huge difference to my skin. In fact if I'm away and stop drinking it, the following week my skin really shows it. Many friends of all ages have also said how much it has helped them - brighter skin, clearer skin, less redness... The list goes on.

It's super simple - squeeze fresh lemon juice ( I usually use a third of a large lemon), add warm water, and get drinking!
