• Eyeliner: Her eye makeup was astounding. Just this weekend, my sister and I were looking up pictures of Audrey Hepburn when we noticed her amazing eyeliner. She used liquid eyeliner to get the fantastic 60s look. She keeps it thin on the bottom of the eye and even has her eyeliner in the corner of her eye and then all the way around. As she extends on her eyelid (furthest from her nose), she thickens the eyeliner and extends past the edge of her eye to give it an exotic look.

•  Clothes: Audrey pretty much rocked anything she wore, but she was most famous for her black outfits. This classic beauty did not need extravagant clothes to make a statement. Her iconic beauty did that for her. She liked to wear black turtlenecks with black pants and shoes. Very clean and classic lines.

• Accessories: Audrey’s accessories were either extravagant (in some movies) or simple. Whichever look you are trying to emulate, you can find great jewelry for a lot less at little boutiques or looking up wholesale jewelry.

1. Do they health insurance? This may seem like a silly question, but think about it. Why would they need health insurance when they have no trouble paying for visits. Why pay monthly payments when money isn’t a problem? Right?
2. What about house payments? Do they make monthly payments on a loan or use something like money merge account to get it paid off quicker?
3.  Does the current economic hardship even bother them? I can’t imagine that they would be getting upset filling up their gas tank. Come on, what’s 60 bucks to someone who makes millions per movie?
4. And the most important question: Has anyone informed Donald Trump that he has the most hideous hair EVER!? Apparently when you are rich, you can look however you want–disgusting and all. And we all know that the only reason he has been married to beautiful women is because he is filthy rich. Without all that money…he’d just be filthy.

• Stretch: By just taking a few minutes everyday to stretch out your muscles, you will increase your circulation, flexibility, and your sense of well-being.
• Spend a Little Time Outside: Get out there, breathe the fresh air, and feel better–especially if you are stuck in an office all day. A change of environment is a great way to keep up your motivation so that you can reach your fitness goals.

Bring the Outdoors In
Something about fresh flowers in your home adds an air of luxury and opulence.  And surprisingly, it doesn’t have to cost a thing!  Go on a walk around your home and gather twigs, flowers, and branches to create a gorgeous and fresh arrangement. 

Luxury Linens
There’s nothing quite like having plush bedding and bath linens.  You’ll feel like you’re staying in a five-star hotel every single night.  Get a memory foam mattress cover, plush pillows, and a high-thread count sheet set.  Don’t worry how much they will cost since you will only have one set.  Head to your local discount home store and buy plush towels (such as microfiber). 

Plush Clothing
Who says you can’t afford designer clothing?  One of the best ways to build up a luxurious wardrobe is slowly and at a pace you can afford.  I like to save up for a particular designer piece that I can’t live without.  Then I build up my wardrobe with coordinating inexpensive items. 

Spa at Home
A day at the spa can certainly be a treat but who has that kind of money to spend all the time?  Create your own at-home spa – open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, you can give yourself the same treatments and feel just as relaxed without the steep price tag.  Invest in quality products, such as luxurious bubble bath, an avocado face mask, or high-end body cream.  Light candles, use pure essential oils, grab a good book, and relax!

Massage Therapy
The luxury of a masseuse is no longer just for the rich and famous, you just have to know where to go to get a great one.  Contact a local massage therapy school; most offer discounted sessions with students in training.  Some might even offer some free as students try to acquire more hours in order to certify.

Spice up your Home
Your home should be a relaxing, inviting, and comfortable environment.  So make it that way!  It doesn’t have to cost a lot to update, modernize, and make your home more luxurious!  Add crown moldings, repaint, or spring clean to spruce up your home.

1. Buy a reusable water bottle that you can keep with you and fill up throughout the day. Keeping hydrated will keep away the munchies that so conveniently come early afternoon. If you get sick of drinking water, add a packet of Propel to give it mix up your new routine.
2. Don’t skip meals, but know that in order to lose weight you’re going to have to burn more calories than you eat. Plan out your meals ahead of time and prepare healthy snacks in ziplock bags that you can keep in your fridge and eat when you get a craving. Even if you workout like crazy, if you eat junk, you’re not going to see results.
3. If you need a jumpstart to get you on the road to a hot summer body, talk to your doctor and see if a weight loss pill is right for you. It may give you the mindset you need to shed those extra pounds.
4. Exercise. Don’t discount the value of good solid exercise. Do things you enjoy. Run, bike, swim, hike. Make sure you also spend a few days each week strength training. Lifting weights is one of the most effective ways to exercise because those muscles continue to burn calories throughout the day even when you’re not exercising.
5. And lastly, don’t make your quest for a sexy summer body miserable. Eat healthy things you enjoy and make exercising fun that way you won’t get burnt out!
