5 Easy Beauty Tips for the New Year (that Work)

By NoGamesLove Dating Coach/Lifestyle Expert Laurel House

Beauty isn't just skin deep. That inner glow that radiates out has a big impact on your overall appearance. Still, that's not to say that you should ignore your outer beauty either. Here are my personal 5 easy inside out beauty tips that really work...

OUTSIDE

1. Flap Those Lashes. I'm a mascara junkie. I test all types and have fine-tuned my obsession to one favorite that makes my lashes flap like no other- full , long, and pin-up fabulous! It's called "Better Than Sex Mascara" from Too Faced. Now… I don't know that it's better than sex (though it is definitely better than some…). But it IS better than most other mascaras out there. I won't leave home without mascara (unless I'm going on a hike, running errands, or to workout).

2. Flawless Skin Secret… Revealed

More than 5 minutes applying makeup is too much in my book! To create an instant flawlessness I depend on pür minerals mineral make-up, specifically the 4-in1 Liquid Foundation AND Pressed Mineral Foundation. It's layer-able if you need a little more to cover up breakouts, and it never looks pancaked on. Plus, it is a naturally water resistant and spf'ed and filled with, well, minerals that benefit the skin… naturally. It is my absolute go-to beautiful skin secret.

INSIDE

3. I'm a Green Tea Addict

Beauty isn't just skin deep. It's actually what's inside that counts. I drink massive amounts (like 6-8 cups a day). It's a miracle anti-aging, skin-nourishing, fat-burning must.

Murad Firm and Tone Supplement packs to be exact. If you aren't getting enough nutrients from your diet, you might want to supplement. These packs have everything you need to support your connective tissues (minimize wrinkles and cellulite), strengthen your hair and nails, and improve your skin tone- essential fatty acids, multivitamins, plus cell energizing and connective support nutrient formulations. Love.

EXERCISE

5. Jump on a Trampoline. The jumping motion helps to pump the lymphatic system- the body's garbage disposal. As lymph moves through the body, it pulls out toxins and fat. A congested lymphatic system can result is excess water and fat retention (as much as 15 pounds!) that, combined, can cause cellulite and varicose veins. The jumping also squeezes and wrings out the cells with each landing, helping to get the water, fat, and toxins out. Jump for 5-20 minutes a day and you WILL see a difference.

But really, no matter how pretty your face is, it's your smile and energy that makes you beautiful.
