Mark Heyes' Top Ten Tips For A Lifestyle Nirvana

TV fashion guru Mark Heyes explains 10 simple ways to improve women’s lives without breaking the bank, to help create a Lifestyle Nirvana.
-
Step 1:
-
Shoe Therapy
-
If anything’s going to cheer you up it’s a bit of shoe retail therapy. If you can’t afford the Manolo’s and Choo’s the British high street has some fantastic options, and does designer homage’s for £20 but be sure to grab your Compeed Blister Gel Plasters to keep your feet comfortable.
-
Step 2:
-
Wardrobe Hidden Treasure
-
Have a rummage in the back of your wardrobe and find yourself a new outfit. Whether it’s a top, skirt or dress there’s always some item you forgot about. Try reworking it with new items and create a new season treasure.
-
Step 3:
-
Harmless Flirting
-
Now I’m not telling you to go into a full flung affair here, but a bit of harmless flirting never did anyone any harm. Whether it’s the sandwich boy in Pret, or the barman after work, give a cheeky wink, a cute smile and walk away glowing.
-
Step 4:
-
Blow Dry
-
Get that ‘just walked out the salon’ look every week by getting a good old-fashioned blow dry. It needn’t cost a fortune, try local salons or those speedy hair cut places and feel glossy and fabulous all day.
-
Step 5:
-
Fashion Repairs
-
Whether is a missing button off a top, a jumper that has gone bobbly or a tear in a pair of trousers. Stop putting off the repair and wear! It’s only a 5 minute job so get your needle and thread, your blunt razor or a pack of wonder web and revive those fashion treasures.
-
Step 6:
-
Compliments
-
The next time you’re in a fitting room and the lady next to you looks fabulous tell her. Or if you love that woman’s coat just ask her where it’s from. When you make somebody feel great, you will too.
-
Step 7:
-
Cold Sore Solution
-
Don’t let spots or a cold sore stop you having going out. Cover spots with a matte concealer before gently applying foundation. Cover cold sores with a Compeed Cold Sore Patch. It takes seconds to apply, can help hide a cold sore and lipstick can be applied over the top.
-
Step 8:
-
Hand Bag Detox
-
Have a handbag detox. Every girl’s guilty of it, whether its old receipts, lip balms, tissues or free samples. Your handbags can hold a multitude of rubbish that you’ll just never use. Clear your bag and clear your mind.
-
Step 9:
-
Wrong Bra Size
-
70% of women wear the wrong bra size and there really isn’t any excuse. Every department store has a free bra fitting service and the difference you’ll feel in your posture and confidence will astound you.
-
Step 10:
-
Cheap Make Over
-
Get yourself to a department store and take full advantage of all those bored makeup artist standing around in the cosmetic department. Just limit yourself to the price of a lippy and get yourself a new look for the day.
