20 ways to add MORE to your life, this year and forever!

When I qualified as a Doctor at 25 years old, I thought I knew everything there was to know about health and medicine.

Even some 30-something celebrities have been photographed and ridiculed in the press and online because of their “claw-like” hands. It’s easy to forget about hands because you’re usually looking at yourself from the chest up in the mirror, but just a few extra minutes and some quick shortcuts can take years off your hands.

Part Two: The beauty of self-confidence…

Did you ever notice how when you’re feeling confident, happy, positive and I-feel-oh-so-fabulous people tell you how great you look? Well, that’s no surprise. The authentic quality of confidence is the oldest beauty secret in the book.
