GET YOUR REST

Beauty is as beauty does. Just as those partying, drug-taking models don’t keep their looks, you won’t either if you don’t get your beauty zzzz’s. Keep regular sleep hours. Develop a routine. Relax in a bath or shower for at least thirty minutes so you can really feel the benefits.

Start your ritual about an hour before bedtime.

DON’T WORRY ABOUT MONEY

Even if you can’t afford weekly shopping binges, that’s not a reason not to look fabulous. It’s not important what you spend, but how you spend, and how you put things together. Some of the most fashionable models get their style by wearing vintage and thrift shop finds, and they love the thrill of the hunt.

Make Your Own Sachets

Make your own sachets. You’ll love the way your sweaters, lingerie, and hosiery smells when you open your drawers. Plus, these make thoughtful, inexpensive gifts.

2 pieces of fabric, about 5" x 5"

Lavender beads, rose petals, or pine needles Needle and thread

Sew three sides of the fabric inside out. Turn the fabric right side out. Add just enough filling so that you can still easily sew the final side. You can sew by hand or machine.
