No sleep for the weary

Did you ever here that saying, "no sleep for the weary"?

Well, when you are weary you need sleep no question about it. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in our lives that we tend to neglect ourselves. There has to be a balance. I know some people will totally get themselves "dolled up" and everything else will be a disarray. On the other hand some people will make sure that everything else is taken care of and then they have no time for themselves. Does this sound like you?

Sleep and rest are beauty essentials as well. You can be tired and not get enough rest and it can take a toll on your health and physical beauty. Those bags under your eyes didn't ask to be there so send them packing with a little shut eye. A few minutes on break, lunch, while the kids are napping or going to bed a little earlier will help. Sleep masks are helpful as well as hot/cold eye masks.

I personally use both and can attest that they work wonders. However the down side to a sleep mask is that it shuts out the sunlight so I have overslept a few times. Yikes! How do you explain that to the boss. On the other hand I may go in late but I feel like a million bucks from the restful sleep I just received. With the hot/cold eye mask the cold chills the area around your eyes and can compress the puffiness. I know we have all heard of the good ole cucumbers for your eyes but potato slices can even help. You don't have to spend a million bucks to look like it.

This concludes the post for now but take time to yourself and give yourself a break. A few moments will do wonders for your skin, health and attitude. When you feel good you exhibit that on the outside and it shows to everyone else. This is the biggest beauty secret ever. Inner beauty. When you are happy with yourself you glow and no amount of makeup or famous label designer brands can bring that to the table.

 Until next time.......XOXOXOXO
