5 Ways to Feel Beautiful for Less

Only a Woman’s World is all about making better choices and feeling good about yourself. Sometimes with all of the beauty products available, I forget there are simpler ways that I can do every day to make myself feel beautiful inside and out. These are just five of my favorites!

Drink more water. If you’re not drinking at least eight glasses of water a day, you’re not drinking enough to keep your body well hydrated. Drinking your daily dose of water keeps skin looking its best: supple, soft, and glowing.

Exfoliate regularly. Skin can look dull and tired when not all of your dead skin cells slough off, which is why regular exfoliation is key. You can use anything from a mild facial scrub to an at-home remedy. You can use products such as an aspirin mask (crushed aspirin mixed with a bit of water and honey) or just baking soda with a little bit of water to make a paste. All items you likely have at home, so you won’t have to spend big bucks to get great looking results.

Take a little more time getting ready. Think about going to bed a half hour earlier or rising a half hour earlier. This way you can give yourself a few more minutes to get ready for your day. Spend extra time on your favorite ritual, whether it’s standing under the hot shower or doing your makeup.

Compliment yourself at least three times a day. It’s important for us to remember that we are powerful, beautiful women, and why wait for someone else to say something? We have to believe and be confident in ourselves and what we can do. Whenever I feel down, I tell myself what I’ve accomplished lately, what goals I’ve reached.

Do something indulgent. Give yourself an at-home pedicure, lather your hands and give yourself a massage… do something that’s decadent and relaxing. Find little ways to de-stress and do them as part of your “getting ready for bed” ritual.

What do you do to feel beautiful without blowing the bank?
