Drink more water and give your skin a daily makeover

I am not a dermatologist, but drinking water regularly is one of the best things you could do for your physical health and skin. This should come as no surprise since our skin contains 64 percent water. Replenishing the water in our skin by drinking the recommended 8 glasses of water a day is the sensible thing to do. I make sure I drink as much water as possible throughout the day. It is a lot easier for me to drink more water these days since I have cut out fizzy drinks from my diet. I am also on a natural healthy sort of diet and that eliminates lots of drinks and food, which leaves room for more water.

Drink more water and give your skin a daily makeover

So how does water really help the skin? Here are a few skin benefits of drinking water to get that daily makeover –

Water removes toxins

Drinking the right amount of water will help get rid of toxins in your body, which will help you glow from the inside out. If you are dealing with facial spots, acne, and other skin issues, you should try drinking more water if you are not doing so already. That may just do the trick!

Water keeps the skin hydrated

Apart from removing skin toxins, water also keeps the skin hydrated. Water is pretty much a natural moisturiser. I see many people spending a lot of money on skincare products but neglecting their diet. Drinking the right amount of water every day is the fastest way to keep your skin hydrated.

Here are some celebrities who swear by drinking water –

Beyonce

“I try to take care of myself, drinking at least a gallon of water with lemon a day,”

Gabrielle Union

“I try to drink a gallon of water a day, and I try to get in 32 ounces with breakfast,”

Rosie Huntington Whiteley

“As soon as I wake up, I try and drink a liter of water,”

My lips usually let me know when I need to drink more water. They get really dry, and that is my reminder to increase my water intake. Since I started drinking more water religiously, I have noticed a huge difference in my skin. It is a lot clearer and there is a glow for sure. Drinking enough water is one of the best things you could ever do for your skin. So make sure you drink more water and give your skin a daily makeover!

 

 

5 ways to steal Beyonce’s style

I love keeping up with celebrity fashion. Their sense of fashion gives me lots of style ideas. Beyonce is a true fashion icon. We can’t really talk about celebrity fashion and style without talking about the Queen Bee herself. Beyonce’s style is second to none! This woman has an amazing sense of style. She has a great body and knows how best to style it. I think Beyonce looks good in pretty much anything. I have not seen her dresses shabbily ever! This gorgeous woman look super stylish even on her dress down days.

Here are 5 simple ways you could steal Beyonce’s style –

Go for statement earrings

When it comes to accessories, Beyonce loves her big and bold statement earrings. I hardly see her wearing necklaces or any other kind of accessory but she pays attention to her earrings every time. Some of the most beautiful earrings I have ever seen have been on Beyonce. She always rocks such beautiful ear-candies. It would be amazing to see her entire accessory collection. I bet it would be an eye popping experience. If you want to steal this style icon’s look, invest in some gorgeous statement earrings.

Sheer Fabric

Beyonce loves her sheer pieces and they always look so good on her. That isn’t surprising since she has the killer body to wear the sheer fabric. If you are brave enough, rocking sheer pieces is one way of stealing Beyonce’s style. She is the Queen of Sheer!

Plunging neckline

Queen Bee loves her plunging neckline pieces and she knows how best to style these dresses. You can easily catch the bootylicious beauty wearing one. She usually balances the plunging neckline with a long length and it works amazingly well. I love them on her.

Cutout dresses

Beyonce can be easily seen on the red carpet wearing a cutout dress. It may not be the style for many, but she has the amazing figure and confidence to rock it. If you want, you could easily pull a Beyonce with a long cutout dress.

Pencil skirts

Pencil skirts always look super stylish on the hourglass woman, so I am not surprised to see they look amazing on this style icon. I am a huge fan of pencil skirts. They hug the curves in the right places and they are super easy to dress up or down, deepening on the style. Beyonce rocks her pencil skirts with sky high heels most times, and she nails it.

What do you think of Beyonce’s style? Would you want to steal it?

 

3 Productivity Hacks for Online Entrepreneurs

Time is the most valuable commodity we living beings have. We all have the same amount of time everyday; 24 hours. Whether we are healthy or ill, tired or strong, rich or poor, young or old, we all have the same amount of hours each day, and none of us can buy time back. What we do with our time is what makes the difference in our lives. Since we can’t go back in time to make amends or do things right, we have to make sure we are maximising the most of our time every day regardless of our situation.

For us online entrepreneurs, managing our time and being as productive as possible is so important. Especially as most of us work alone and we are our own bosses.

Many people wonder how I get “the time” to do all I do – juggling my twin toddlers pretty much by myself all day, and running my online projects. When I wrote my book – How to Cash In as a Blogger, many asked how I found the time for that. I found it so weird that I kept getting asking the same question over and over again. Well, when there is a will, there is a way, and there is always enough time to get done all that needs to be done.

Here are 3 productivity hacks that have worked for me in the past 5 years, you may work for you as well:

 

Guard your time

Now this is the first productivity hack I am mentioning for a reason, and that is because without having the time, you can’t get anything done. So you need to ensure you guard your time jealously.

In 24 hours, I need to sleep at least 7 hours so I don’t get grumpy, I need to eat my meals, I need to feed my family, I need to get my kids to pre school and get them back home in time, I need to write, I need to get blog work done, I need to attend to my freelance clients, and so on. So with all the various tasks that need to be done, I can’t afford to speak on the phone for hours, to be on Whatsapp chatting endlessly, watch all the series on TV or lie in bed all day. I need to guard my time.

Once you guard your time, you will find that you have more time than you thought you did.

 

Set a routine

Once your time has been guarded, then you need to set a clear routine so you know what needs to be done daily and in what order, leaving a bit of room for flexibility. Having a to-do list helps massively as well. I tend to be on top of my day when I stick to my to-do list.

The beauty of having a routine and to-do list is that you don’t need to think of what needs to be done because you know that already. It helps you become more efficient.

Work hard

Many people say it is work smart and not hard. I tend to disagree with this many times depending on the situation. In order to be productive, you have to be hard-working. Yes you will need to work smart too but you will have to work hard first for your work smart to work for you.

Imagine if Beyoncé was “working smart” from her days in Destiny’s Child? Do you think she would be where she is today? No I don’t think so. For you to relax on your hustle, you have to put in the work in the foundation days.
