30 Things To Do To Feel Beautiful

Makeup is fun. We think so, which is why we’ve come up with so many shades for you to explore. But makeup is just a tool to help accentuate your natural beauty, which is something that women can lose sight of in the daily rush. So we’ve come up with little activities to remind you of what a naturally beautiful person you already are, every day for a month!

1. Drink water – Aside from flushing out the toxins in your body and making you look radiant, drinking plenty of water keeps you from getting dehydrated, and helps you hit your peak beauty performance.

2. Smile – Actions can trigger emotions, and when you feel happy, you look beautiful. So flash those pearly whites with abandon!

3. Have a spa day – Visit a local spa for a total beautifying moment, but if you can’t afford a splurge that big, then transform your bathroom into a DIY spa trip.

4. Wear bright colors – Because wearing bright colors can lift your mood, you’ll stand out from the crowd for more reasons than just your exotic hues.

5. Tuck a flower into your hair – Channel an island dweller and tuck some of nature’s finest beauties behind your ear. They’ll only accentuate your natural beauty.

6. Laugh – You know that saying that “laughter is the best medicine?” It’s also the best accessory, and everyone is drawn to the beauty of a happy person.

7. Get some sun – The Vitamin D will lift your spirits, and you’ll be left with a gorgeous sun-kissed look like you just finished a day of playing on the beach.

8. Go makeup-less – Makeup does not make the woman. Take on the challenge of leaving the makeup off for a couple of days, and revel in your naturally beautiful assets.

9. Yoga – Not only will the stretching and breathing make you feel better, yoga poses are quite effective in helping to shape and smooth your figure.

10. Sweet sayings – Post some confidence-boosting quotes on your fridge, strategically placed so that you see them each morning. That way you’ll always be reminded of your most beautiful assets, inside and out.

11. Pick a beauty muse – Choose a picture of a beautiful woman you’d like to emulate, and post her photo in the corner of your bathroom mirror. Choose a woman whose inner beauty and strength inspires you to cultivate a lovelier life.

12. Take a bath – Soak your stress away and your skin into softness for inner and outer radiance.

13. Flirt – Nothing like a little innocent flirting to remind you of the power of your own beauty. Give a little extra smile or hair toss to someone to feel ravishingly recharged.

14. Smooth your skin – Smoother skin glows with health and feels incredible, so try exfoliating the dullness from your skin and your self-image.

15. Try a new scent – Because your scent tells a story about who you are, why not experiment with a dab of musky new fragrance to heighten that exotic allure?

16. Snap a photo – Photographer Erin Vey believes in the power of photos to show women how beautiful they really are. Take a click from her shutter and get a professional photographer friend to show you in your most stunning light.

17. Wear lipstick – A flush of lipcolor gets you noticed in a crowd, day or night, and women report that just one coat of gloss can instantly make them feel more comely.

18. Choose a word for the day – Pick a word each morning that encompasses the kind of beauty you want to project: radiant, smoldering, sweet. Then live your word all day long!

19. Dance – Aside from the physical benefits of dance, fluid movement can help remind you of your desirability and sublime feminine qualities. Not to mention that you’ll have a good time doing it.

20. Take vitamins – If you don’t already have a daily multi-vitamin on hand, then go to your local nutrition store and get help selecting the right one to help improve your hair and skin. Good health is always beautiful.

21. Compliment other women – We all know how difficult it can be to feel attractive, so why not support another woman on her journey by paying her a positive compliment. You’ll both benefit from the attention, we promise.

22. Eye candy – Looking at beauty first thing in the morning can help you set your intention for the day. Make a bookmark of design blogs to browse, or keep a coffee table book of rainforest flowers nearby for your daily dose of the divine.

23. Night out – Dress up. Rally all of your friends for a lush night out on the down. Sometimes getting done up and having fun with your girls can remind you of what forces you are to be reckoned with.

24. Spruce up your living space – In order to feel beautiful, you need to be surrounded by beauty and get rid of objects that hold negative energy. Clear out your space and incorporate a fresh coat of paint to make your space more appealing.

25. Get a massage – Not only will you feel gorgeous, but the benefit of increased blood flow will give you that flush of good health. If you can’t spring for a massage from a pro, then grab an aromatherapy massage oil and employ the hands of friend or partner.

26. Improve your beauty sleep – Getting 8 hours of good sleep will help you wake up refreshed and give your skin and body cells enough time to regenerate and revive. Try spraying a bit of chamomile scent on your sheets for deeper, more relaxing sleep.

27. Celebrate women – With International Women’s Day just around the corner on March 8th, there’s no better time to honor the beautiful women in your life. Make a note of their most inspiring qualities to share with them.

28. Sing – Whether you’re a virtuoso or can’t carry a tune in a bucket, it doesn’t matter. Burst out into your favorite song in the shower or car and find the beauty in self-expression.

29. Try a new hair color – It doesn’t have to be permanent, but brightening up your hair color can make your look fresh and highlight some of your best features. Add a reddish wash to dark hair to make eyes stand out.

30. Just Breathe – Take time to stop and breathe throughout your day. The oxygen will immediately improve blood flow, and adding an aromatherapy fragrance to the air will help to change your mindset about yourself. Try something exotic if you’re feeling like an island girl, or something natural for a bohemian romantic.
