Moonbeams: Secrets for Swofties - Looking and Feeling Great for Reinvention

How you look sends out a powerful message and can transform your view of yourself too. Whether you are re-inventing yourself or changing your job, your confidence will soar if you give yourself a makeover first. Here are some ideas

Get your colours done with a colour consultant. www.cmb.co.uk or call 02076 275211 to find one in your area. You will be amazed how much younger and more vibrant you will look and feel when you wear ‘your’ colours and how much you will save by not buying clothes that end up staying in your wardrobe.

Book a session with an image consultant to get fresh ideas about looking your best. Check out www.feelfabat50.com for some great ideas for women over fifty

Treat yourself to a new hairstyle. If you have used the same stylist for some time try a new one who will have fresh ideas. Changing your colour as well as your style or having high/low lights can give you a real boost.

Book a make up consultation and ask what you can do to update your look. These are usually free in department stores, you will gain lots of tips and you don’t have to buy their products. Alternatively you can find a local beautician in the Yellow Pages.

Accessories can make an outfit – treat yourself to some lovely earrings, a pretty necklace, belt, scarf or bracelet. They glam up any outfit and don’t need to be expensive.

If you wear glasses, how about getting some new frames? Take a friend to help you choose. Or why not consider contact lenses or laser treatment and throw away your glasses.

Tooth whitening can take years off you and adds some glamour! Why not give it a go?

Book a facial, massage, manicure and pedicure. Go on, you are worth it.

Arrange to pamper yourself. Decide on a time you will not be disturbed. Unplug the phone, light candles in the bathroom and put on your favourite music. Run the bath and add relaxing bath oil. Put fluffy towels ready to warm. Now close your eyes and think of the wonderful life you are creating for yourself!
