Awesome issue of In Style, although I’m annoyed at my inability to post a photograph of Sophie Ellis Bextor’s haircut. Still, I’m a grown up and I can move on from there, but if you’re standing in the supermarket queue and need something to fill in the time, turn to page 166 and check out her great ‘do and flawless makeup. It’s almost enough to make me wear makeup more often. Almost!

Still, I might not have to if this nutrition article in this month’s issue is worth it’s salt (to coin a nutrition-style joke). Just a few pages on from the great haircut and make up you’ll find:

Eat right, Look Great, Pg 185

Three pages of foods to focus on for different skin problems, ranging from acne, dry skin, puffy eyes (thanks, 5am start) and rosacea. There are also foods to avoid if you have these problems, so you can give yourself a double hit of effectiveness. This article quotes top New York dermatologist Nicholas Perricone, who has a series of best selling books, and Melbourne based dietician Melanie McGrice.

One of the things I like most about this article is the third page, where there are easy to implement ways of getting extra nutrition into your diet, via juices, herbal tea and nut bars (they recommend Nut Delight by Be Natural, and I second their recommendation - delicious!). There’s a list at the side of the “substitute this for that” variety, which I’m always a sucker for.

All in all, a great article. I give it ****, and will be trying out several of the suggestions myself.
