Beauty Tip #176.
By: SJE
Drink lots of water. That’s it. That’s the tip. It makes your skin look better, your eyes brighter, and will keep you from bloating up from sugary and/or diet drinks ( chemical cocktails ). How much? I don’t care. Just start with more than you are drinking now. Stick with it. ( A three day test period is worthless. Stick with it means stick with it) You’ll see.

After over 60 years on this planet, this is what I have learned.

I don’t go to parties I don’t want to go to.
I don’t take no for an answer if my “tummy tells me” it’s a yes.
Every time I have not listened to my instincts, I’ve gotten into big doodoo in my life.
I write a note to someone if I’m thinking of them. Something that is delivered into a mailbox, that isn’t a bill, is a wonderful surprise.
I’ve liberated myself from “have to” gift giving. If I see something that screams someone’s name…I buy it for them and give it to them right away. I say it’s because I want them not to wait to enjoy it but the truth is, I would, no doubt, forget where I put it or even that I bought it in the first place.
I try not to eat too many things that had a mother or something that had to travel thousands of miles before I buy it.
I don’t “save” anything for later. I use it, enjoy it, experience it now. Think of all the women on the Titanic that said no to the dessert cart.
Every living thing needs encouragement. I intentionally look for things and/or people to encourage. A word, a smile, an ear rub (this generally works better with dogs than people.)
I engage, only when absolutely necessary, with those folks who suck the air out of the room--the Energy Vampires. And I might even throw on my garlic glove necklace, for good measure.
Just because you can zip it, doesn’t mean you should wear it!
