On Beauty: How To Great Skin

Okay ladies!!!

I was reading an expert tip on beauty which I would like to share with you today. It was given by Elle Macpherson, an Australian supermodel, mother and business woman.

She explains how to achieve a great skin "... I hydrate and nourish my skin from the inside with antioxidants. So for breakfast I have yoghurt with manuka honey, sunflower and pumpkin seeds. And I make smoothies with carrot, ginger and apple, which gives me energy as well as feeding my skin. I also drink three litres of water a day."

There you have it ladies.



As much as we take care of our skin on outside we need to take care of it from the inside as well. Out of the three things she listed, I like the breakfast tip and the water tip. Not everyone can drink three liters therefore if you can drink 2litres that's a great way to start taking care of your skin from the inside.

I believe we don't need to be supermodels to feel great and a have great skin from the inside-out.

Do you have any tip on how to have a great skin?

Please confess on TC30s.

Celebrating Our 30s!: Meghan!

I came across Meghan when i was surfing the blog world and am i glad i did! 
Meghan is someone you definitely want to get to know.  
She is a married lady.  
From Chicago.
And went backpacking in Italy for her 30th birthday!  
Talk about a celebration.  
She's been blogging for several years now.  
Has one of the coolest blog names out there, 
Additionally, she has some of the most loyal readers I've ever come across!
And she has an amazing and infectious smile!  
Megan was also part of a very successful blog entitled:
The Wife Diaries, which chronicled the lives of wives. 
 I love the idea of the blog so much...
i want the wives and their stories back! 
But in the meantime, i thought i would introduce Meghan to TC30 readers! 
Check her out ladies!

   Meghan 
The Perfect Compilation Tape

2)       Age 
 31

3)       What have you changed about the following areas since turning 30? 
Physical – I’ve always been very healthy and active, but I feel like I am taking my physical fitness to an entirely new level.  I am incorporating strength training and yoga into my running.  In a sense, I am trying to be more well-rounded.
Social – I definitely go “out” less, and prefer a great dinner and bottle of wine with friends over a “bar night”.
Money – Now that my husband and I want to buy a house and begin a family, we’re much more fiscally responsible!
RelationshipsI am currently married to a wonderful man, and we couldn’t be happier!
Children – None yet, but working on it!  J

4) Make a Confession about being a 30something?  30 is the new 21.  30 is the new black.  30 is the new Carrie Bradshaw.  Seriously.  Being 30 + is awesome. 

5) Are you in the career you've always wanted to be in?  Yes!  I am a teacher, and I know that this is what I was meant to do.  I’ve been teaching for 10 years, and I find that I am much more confident and far less stressed with each passing year!

6) What is the best/fun thing you've done since turning 30? A girlfriend and I backpacked through Europe last summer – right after I turned 30.  It was one of the best decisions I ever made.

7) Do you think you will still be using facebook/twitter/blogger/webpress after your thirties?  I think about this often!  I wonder if I will continue to blog when I have children – will I have time?  Will I even want to?  I would “hope” so, but who knows?

8) Does you husband (family) ever read your blog?  Yes!  They all do – husband, parents, friends, colleagues, etc.  Quite honestly, I love it!

Wedding Day!


In Rome, Italy!

Fitness, Food & Fun Friday: Before - After

Last week instead of the usual workout I decided to do something fun which was another alternative to staying fit.

I went ahead to sand off an old dresser
After sanding and rubbing it off with an old cloth, I painted with a primer and after waiting for some hours to dry, I painted with the Dulux white paint. This is the end result.
The refurbishment helped bring into focus the legs and handles of the dressers. I like the fine details.

But I also worked on my squatting and arm lifting and had fun turning something old into something that can be mistaken as new.

Do you like it?
