BEAUTY'S SECRETS - BEAUTY'S SECRETS By Chechel Joson -
As a female executive, you can’t help but be the ultimate example of beauty and brains. You have to create an impact – that when you walk into a room filled with male executives, their eyes will be on you. Wouldn’t it be a great feeling to have everyone think that only you have the looks? Wait till they hear you talk and you’ll be a living proof that beauty and brains do exist. And that’s you.

As a hardworking executive, make time to reward yourself. Be good to yourself. First, try to quiet your mind and let all those talks, deals, conferences, trips or meetings stop for just a few hours. Learning how to "quiet" your mind helps new and more creative and innovative ideas just flow naturally. Now, breathe slowly and just rest and relax. Stress can age you and cause a lot of sickness in your body so try to loosen up a bit and enjoy and appreciate life once in a while. A hardworking woman deserves a good break. It only takes about 40 minutes to get a facial so it’s just perfect for you to get that instant beauty power nap to jump-start the rest of your day while you’re getting your face cleaned. It’s just so amazing what a power nap can do; you should try it. It’s proven to be an instant beautifier. It can also take about 45 minutes to get your nails done. I’m pretty sure successful women are good in time management. It’s just a shame to be working with un-manicured fingernails and wearing open-toe shoes with un-manicured toenails. That says a lot about the person.

I have worked on several of these inspiring women who have both beauty and power. I feel sad when they tell me that they don’t have "time" to take care of themselves. The consequence? You’ll look older than your real age. You wouldn’t want that to happen. This is a fact and I have personally seen this. So ladies, you are forewarned. There is a time for everything – especially if you want to make time for it. If you think that it’s a waste of time, then you just won’t do it. Period. Take time to reward yourself and you will be more positive and you will just feel good and look great.

I will never forget what my best friend said one time while we were talking about beauty and surgery. She said: "Women with money have no excuse not to look good." Think about it. She is so right. All you need is a little bit of time for yourself. If the women in New York can get facials or laser face lifts on their lunch breaks, then so can you. There really is no excuse not to look good, it’s a matter of wanting to look and feel good. This is, after all, for your well being. Love and respect yourself and you will be shown the same in return. Not only that, you will also have much more to give. For the women who have been making time for themselves to look great – congratulations! I admire you. You are a good example and an inspiration to everyone around you that perfection can be achieved.

In addition to making time to look and feel good, here is a 10-minute makeup routine that you can do before going to work. First, always apply sunscreen. Next, groom your eyebrows. Well-groomed eyebrows make a very clean, neat and bright face. Use a dual finish powder to even out your skin tone. It acts both as a concealer and a foundation to cover your eye bags and as foundation for the rest of your face. Never ever use a powder that is whiter than your neck, please. Next is to curl your lashes. This will help open up your eyes even without putting eye makeup on. Apply mascara if you wish. Smile and sweep a little blush on your cheeks. Finish with your lip color. A quick and easy makeup that will make you look even more perfect.

What are you waiting for? Ladies, don’t wait for the spas or salons to close. After making time for your family, make a little time for yourself and you’re sure to get a great beauty rest tonight. After all, tomorrow is Monday, a perfect start to stay – perfect.
