I’m always looking for ways to tread a little lighter on the planet and this year I’m hoping to consume less and reuse more.  There are so many small things that we can do around the home to reuse and recycle so I thought I’d share some of things I’m doing at home in this video.

Quickly wanted to let you know that Wendy our designer had a fabulous idea about helping you reinvent yourself  by offering a free pair of pearl earrings to everyone. All you need to do is type in the coupon code: ReinventEarrings on the shopping cart when you next purchase a piece of motivational jewellery, and we will send you your very own pair of pearl earrings. I love the idea because pearls represent new beginnings and that is what this is all about, starting a new and starting fresh.

So on to some tips about easily looking after your body and getting rid of cracked heels for good. These tips are to help you make a bigger impact whilst doing and spending less.

1. when using a body scrub choose one that has an oil base, that way once you have gotten out of the shower you don’t need to apply moisturizer, saving you time and money.

2. if you have left over, or unwanted face moisturizer or cleaner that you didn’t like, or that you dont’ want any more, instead of throwing it out use it on your body.

3. Getting rid of cracked heels is a pain so the idea is not to get them in the first place. All you need to do is keep a heel/foot buffer in the shower and just giver your heels a quick brush over every night for a few seconds and then your done. When is say a few rubs that’s exactly what i mean, because you are doing it every/most nights there will be no build up of dry skin. So 4-5 brushes and your done. Should take you 10 seconds.

Well it is week 1 with my reinvent myself – Appearance stage and i really wanted today to share with you some tips with you that i have found hugely valuable and time and money saving

Wrinkles – When you see my video you will not believe how easy and cheap it is to iron out your wrinkles. As a matter of fact it is what none of the large cosmetic companies want you to know.

Earrings – Make it easy for yourself and buy yourself some cubic zirconia studded earrings, they are easy, look good with everything and people always assume they are real.

Nail Polish- How to take it off and put it on the right way. Check out the video below.

Reinventing yourself doesn’t need to be a hassle or difficult to do if you build them into your life in a way that makes things easier.

Best of luck and remember if you have any questions don’t hesitate to leave a comment and i will answer it.

Peace & Happiness

So now i am moving on to Reinventing Myself.

To me reinventing is about being the person i want to be. Instead of wishing, or saying i would like to be that type of person i am going to act right now as if i already was that type of person. It’s a simple concept, but to be honest up until now i never really thought about it that much. The idea is that instead of saying i want a body like Miranda Keir you say i  have the body of Miranda Keir and i do the things that i would do to maintain that body.  Does that make sense?

So for me i love it when i see someone that is well groomed and always looks good, so instead of me saying i really should do more with myself instead i say, “as someone that is always well groomed what do i do every day to make myself like this?” and these are the things i came up with.

• always do my nails and put nail polish on.
• always wear earrings ( i have a great pair of cubic zirconia studs that looks good with everything, and everyone always thinks they are real diamonds)
• always wear perfume
• always style my hair after washing it. (it is so tempting to just put it up in a pony tail)
• always do a fake tan
• Exfoliate body 2 times a week
• An anti-aging mask 1 time a month
• exfoliate my face 2 times a week
• PREPARE MY CLOTHES THE NIGHT BEFORE. This is a great one because there is nothing worse than waking up every morning and having to think of what i should wear. That is why i tend to just throw on a tracksuit. But now my clothes will be lying there waiting for me.

I am going to start with these thing for the next few weeks and really make sure i create these good habits, after that i should be able to focus on somthing else. I will let you know how i am going.

By the way the piece that i will be wearing is the new Reinvent Myself necklace. Even if i don’t wear it every day i make sure it is there sitting by my clothes to remind me of why i am doing this.

Would love to hear some of the great things you are doing to Reinvent yourself.

Now to put all those dreams into action. 1st off i am going to work on starting with a cleaner body. Way too much food, meat and wine over Christmas and New Year so i figured a detox is what i needed more than anything.

Today i am not going to be eating but instead will start with a green Drink ( i like Vital Greens) and then for the rest of the day lemon water.

Why don’t you give it a go too, 24 hrs should be pretty easy and well worth the effort.

Hi,

So 2012 is here and as this year I turn 40 I have decided to completely reinvent myself.

Over the course of 2012 I am going to be working on different areas of myself making improvements and changes so that I can become, what I believe, is
the very best version of me. I would love for you to join me on my journey, and hope that you can also share with me your own personal Reinventing
Yourself Journey. Let’s do it together, so we can support each other and inspire each other, and most importantly have lots of fun doing it.

To start with I am going to list all the things I want to achieve in 2012. Yep I am exposing it all hehehe. Then I am going to allow 2-3 weeks to work
on each of these areas, hoping that once I focus on it for that amount of time it will become a habit so that I can move on to another area. I have a
list of tools to help me on my way which I have also listed below. So here goes…

2012 REINVENT MYSELF

Health

• Glowing skin,
• Shinny and bouncy hair.
• Less wrinkles
• Mental clarity and relaxation
• No flues, no headaches
• Thyroid tumour to go down.
• Boundless Energy

Fitness

• Firm flat and muscular stomach
• When I wear pants you can’t see a bulge at the top of them.
• Muscular arms and bottom
• Energy to get through the whole day so that I don’t feel tired at any point except when I go to bed at night.
• Compete in a triathlon

Wealth

• Only do work that I love and get others to help me do the things I dislike doing or that could be done better or faster by someone else.
• Invest in 2 properties that are positive geared and that bring me an income.
• Increase my celebrity status in China/Shanghai.
• Film another TV show that has nothing to do with cooking.

Family & Friends

• Create a great study environment and routine for Syana so that she can easily and happily keep up with her homework load.
• Prepare Oden for preschool: start teaching basic writing and counting
• Spend more time with my husband alone.
• Create a closer bond between my close friends.
• Be a great Aunty: (Always send Birthday presents)
• Create clear rules and guidelines for being polite and being a good person for all of the family.
• Make great breakfasts everyday, prepare the night before.

Passion

• Create a timeless, elegant, youthful look that is easy to maintain everyday if I am exercising hanging out at home or working.
• Balance between my work, family, friends, and me time. (already quite good but want to maintain and improve)
• Travel to either Greece or Italy
• Book holiday apartments in Australia.

Tools:

• Note Book: I have used so many different types of electronic forms of diaries and still I come back to my simple notebook that I take everywhere I go. It also feels a lot more stress free then working with the electronic ones.
• A large Calendar that sits in front of me on my desk: It is so important that I can see my month at a glance and plan my year in advance.
• A beautiful pen: For some reason I write more and feel better when I have a really nice pen to write with. The act of writing something by hand
• seems to stimulate my creative side and I end up coming up with much better ideas and plans.
• Motivational Jewellery Pieces:

1. Reinvent Myself Necklace
2. Bear Warrior Necklace (Business/Wealth) Every time I went out this summer, no matter what I wore I kept choosing this piece, it
3. was very strange and so I believe that for some reason I am attracted to this piece and need to include it in my list.
4. Love & Light Necklace (help me be a great role model to my family and friends)
5. Eat Healthy Necklace & Wristlet: this is a new piece not yet released, it is so awesome.
6. Tight Toned & Terrific wristlet (Fitness)
7. Love wristlet: (husband & family)
8. Prosperity Pendant Wristlet: (Wealth)
9. One With Nature Warrior Necklace & wristlet (time for myself)
10. Be Happy Wristlet

I know this seems a long list, but I am very serious about reinventing myself and will not let another year pass where I am not living the very best
version of me. Oh and I forgot my Clear Mind, Bright Future wristlet; I don’t take mine off as it is always there to remind me of the big
picture, I couldn’t live without this piece.

So that’s it. Follow my lead and let’s do this together and have an absolutely awesome and life changing year.

Success & happiness.
