Make Your Life More Glamorous #1

Glamour isn't about how your life looks. It's about how your life feels. When that feeling shines through you, that's what people will notice. Here are a few of my favourite ways to add a little glamour to my own life.

• Switch off your harsh ceiling lights and spend your evening with candles and fairy lights.
  
• Set up your portable stereo in your bathroom and listen to your favourite CD while you shower. Shamelessly sing along.
  

• Wear lipstick.
  

• Go shopping and spray on a designer scent that you can't afford - and spend your day smelling fabulous.
  
• Wear pretty, matching lingerie. Even if you know you're the only one that will see it. Actually, especially if.
  

• Paint your nails with quick-drying nailpolish while you wait for your toast to pop (or whatever)(Tip: if you haven't got steady hands, choose a paler shade that is more forgiving!).
  

• Wear satin to bed.
  

• Put fresh flowers in your hair.
  
• Add instant glamour to a plain outfit with a silk scarf.
  
• Smile. If you have to, fake it until it becomes genuine.
  
• Have your morning coffee in a ceramic travel mug, instead of the generic disposable cups (bonus: it's ecofriendly!).
  
• Wear an accessory a good friend gave you. Carry good memories with you all day.
  
• Apply a beautiful-smelling hand cream.
  
• Eat dessert. On a weekday.
  
• Use your good crockery, even when eating takeout.
  
• Buy yourself flowers (Woolies bright roses only R39.99! See here.).
  
• Wear that gorgeous item in your waredrobe that you always think of as "too dressy for everyday".
  
• Make your own lunch every now and then, and tuck away the money you would have spent. You'll be surprised how quickly you have enough money for a massage or a mani-pedi!
  

• Change your regular hairstyle. Always have a low ponytail? Go sky high! Forever tucking it away in a bun? Let it loose! Always part your hair on your left? Try the right.
