Hello everyone! Decorative gold and silver jewellery inspired temporary tattoos  have become a fashion phenomenon in recent months.   Metallic  tattoos   are perfect for the beach, the pool, parties, festivals, concerts and the club!   Even  Beyoncé   has sported various metallic tattoos while on holiday in Europe, including gold necklaces, bracelets and even peacock feathers! FAQ: How do you put them on? Cut out the tattoo as close to the edge as possible and remove the clear sheet.   Place the tattoo face down on your skin and hold a wet cloth against it for about  30 seconds.   Peel the paper aside then pat gently with the wet cloth. How long do these tattoos last? If transferred carefully,  your tattoos will last about 4-6 days depending on where you place them and how well you take care of them.  To care for your temporary tattoos avoid any soap, lotions or oils. How do you get them off?  Simply soak your skin in baby oil, olive oil or coconut oil for one minute

Hello everyone! Did you know that besides slimming down and adding muscle tone, working out can also benefit your skin and hair ?  Exercise is one of the best ways to nourish and revitalise your body .  By getting your heart pumping and increasing circulation your skin receives oxygenated blood that boosts detoxification and cell renewal .   A good workout helps regulate hormones  and relieve stress that can cause acne and other skin problems.   Breaking a sweat allows more blood to reach the skin’s surface and deliver nutrients that repair damage from the sun and environmental pollutants.   These nutrients also speed up the skin’s collagen production .   As we age our body produces less collagen but the nutrients delivered to the skin during exercise help your skin look younger .  Just make sure to wash your face afterwards! Regular   exercise  also improves blood flow to your scalp, keeping your hair strong and healthy .  Another benefit of exercise is
