Eat for beauty

The term 'beauty comes from within' traditionally means that personality, kindness and compassion are just important as the way you look. If you're beautiful on the inside, you'll be beautiful on the outside too.

However, this common saying can also be taken to mean that beauty grows from what we put into our bodies, namely the food we eat.

We all know our diet contributes to our body weight but it's also intrinsically linked to our skin, hair and nails.

Without, drinking sufficient water and eating enough fruit and vegetables, we won't get the vitamins, minerals and fluids our skin needs.

No amount of face creams and serums can compensate for a poor diet.

But it's important not to go overboard with your diet. The key is a healthy, balanced diet... one that you have more than a remote chance of maintaining.

10 Steps to a Healthy Relationship



Follow these 10 tips and reap the benefits of a healthy relationship.

1.    Use your head, not just your heart, when picking a man and look at the whole package before making your choice.
2.    Know the difference between lust and love – it will save you a lot of heartache.
3.    Learn to voice your desires: Your partner isn't psychic and he can't make you happy unless you let him know what fulfils you.
4.    Work at your relationship: A close bond is forged through hard work and constant attention; it's not automatic.
5.    Don’t let yourself go: You don't have to bring sexy back but being clean and presentable goes a long way.
6.    Understand that your feelings may change over time: you won't stay drunk with joy forever but that doesn't mean you don't love each other.
7.    There is a difference between sex and intimacy: Sex is one avenue to intimacy. Intimacy involves talking and revealing every facet of yourself – the good, the bad and the ugly.
8.    Communicate, communicate, communicate! Talking about everything is the only way you'll deal with problems, maintain intimacy and know if you're on the same wavelength.
9.    Understand that you're a unit, but you're both also individuals and your partner is not responsible for your personal happiness – you are.
10.  Have a life outside your relationship.  Learn to apologise – even if you don't always say "sorry", making up after an argument is crucial.
