If you want to accentuate your natural beauty then it could be worth kicking some of your bad habits. Here are some of the issues that you need to be aware of. 

Your Coffee Addiction 

If you rely on coffee to give you the energy to get through the day, or at least start the morning, then you’re not alone. A lot of people are completely dependent on coffee as part of their morning or daily routine. However, this can definitely have an impact on your natural beauty. The problem with coffee is that it over stimulates your nervous system and it also stains your teeth and these stains aren’t easy to remove even with high quality toothpaste. As such, you should make sure that you do avoid it if you can. If you can’t then a general dentist could provide the teeth whitening treatment you need. You can also explore natural remedies to whiten your teeth including mixing lemon juice with baking soda to form a paste. 

Sugary Sweets 

You might think that the worst impact of sugary sweets is going to be on your waistline. However, it's also worth noting that sugar can play havoc with your skin. Consuming too much refined sugar is known to break down collagen and elastin fibres which ages your skin . If you are worried about this, then you should explore how you can start cutting refined sugar out of your diet. You might also want to try drinking more water. Research shows that water can act as a natural detox so it’s great if you can start the day off with a large glass of warm water with lemon and sip on water or herbal teas throughout the day.

Habitual Stress 

Have you heard of habitual stress? This is where stress in your life becomes a habit that you can’t break free from. In fact, some people find the feeling of stress to be incredibly addictive and as such tend to end up seeking it out rather than ignoring it or skirting around it. This can be a problem because stress can have various negative impacts on your body. Some research has correlated stress with certain forms of cancer. In terms of physical changes to the body, stress can make you bloat or even lead to you losing your hair before you hit thirty. In order to counteract stress, find activities which help you to relax, this could include meditation, exercise such as walking in nature or yoga and getting a regular massage.

Those Late Nights 

Finally, you need to make sure that you are not staying up all night, every night. Sleep is the way that your body refuels and recharges. Without the right level of sleep each night, your body is always going to be under a lot more stress and this is going to eventually start to show through physical signs such as deep bags under eyes. You might wake up in the morning looking absolutely exhausted. There are numerous ways to get a better night's sleep by establishing a calming bedtime routine, switching off all electronic devices, taking a relaxing aromatherapy bath, listening to soothing music, using a night time pillow spray, drinking Chamomile tea and so on,

We hope this helps you understand some of the key unhealthy habits that can impact your natural beauty. To maintain good health and radiant outer beauty make sure to eat a balanced, nutrient dense diet, drink plenty of water or herbal teas, engage in activities that reduce your stress levels and get a good 8 hrs sleep each night,

Until next time

If you want to make sure that you get the best result out of your home business, then you are in the right place. Here you can find out the basics of running a beauty service, without having to worry about doing hours of research.

Pay Attention to Legalities

If you want to run a business from your home, then you may need to try and get permission from your mortgage provider or even your landlord. It’s very likely that you will also need to take out some kind of insurance too. Other factors include having to sign up with a tax service. Of course, giving health and safety some forethought will also help you out a lot here, so make sure that you keep that in mind as much as possible.

How to Transform your Home into a Business

It’s vital that you think about the logistical factors that stand between you and your business. Do you have all of the right tools to facilitate your business? Start by assessing your rooms, and find out if you have enough space to give massages, lashes or even make-up. You also need to make sure that you have the right furniture for your guests too. Of course, at this point, you ideally need to budget as well. You need to think about the cost of buying all of the equipment for your company, and this can include tattoo power supplies or even massage chairs.

Client Comfort

Are you happy for all of your clients to have their hair washed or rinsed in your bathroom? If not then you may not want to opt for a colour service for your hairdressing business. You may want to opt for dry cuts instead. If you have the space, you may want to have a backwash unit. Either way, little things like this are important to consider when you think about turning your home into a business. When you have been able to assess everything that your clients are going to need to be comfortable, you can then think about the services or even the treatments that you are going to offer to them.

Marketing

Hairdressers tend to find a lot of new business through word of mouth. You have to make sure that you position yourself as being a local service that can provide a service from home. Ask the clients you have now what they think of you, and if they would be happy to recommend you. You may also want to talk about introductory offers as well, as this could help people to get the motivation they need to give your business a go.

Power of Social Media

Do your best to leverage the power of social media. Set up a Facebook or even an Instagram page. This will give you the chance to encourage your friends and your family to share your business page for you. You can also include your address so that people know where to find you. This is the best way for you to get things moving.

If you would like to learn more I have an Beauty or Holistic Business Start Up accredited online course available  , which you can study at home at your own pace.  It is jam packed with essential information and useful checklists to help guide you through that all important start up phase.

Until next time

Take Care
