How about some quick beauty strategies that will fire you up from head to toe? You can look and feel instantly energized and lets face it, who doesn’t want a tad bit more energy these days?

The eyes have it! De-puff by placing ice cubes over swollen eyes. The science? This shrinks blood vessels quickly. Or, try cucumber slices. Use a moisturizer with lots of proteins and vitamins. Splash some cold water on your face. The cool temperature will even out a blotchy complexion. Or, if you prefer, use your spray water bottle and mist.

Red lips scream confidence so apply some red lipstick or lip gloss. If red isn’t it for you, try some coral or a berry shade. To freshen up eyelids fast, dust on some peach or bronze eye shadow. Dark circles? Use a little beige eye shadow just along the lower rims of your eyes to offset darkness. Use the blackest mascara you can find on the lashes, the contrast will make the whites of your eyes stand out. Bronzer can be your best friend or your worst enemy. Too much and you look orange - so you can try a cream highlighter instead.

Dress for success. People notice what you are wearing. A well dressed person will always get precedence over an underdressed person - even if the underdressed is more qualified. Spice things up with a shimmery belt or dangling earrings.

Breathe, exhale slowly and deeply for five seconds, then exhale for five. Smell something mint or citrus. Studies have found that fragrances with citrus or mint help keep you alert. They also improve concentration and memory.

Posture. Stand straight up with shoulders back, don’t slouch! If you catch yourself slouching, pull your spine up. Bad posture is not just bad but it makes you look tired. People will feel they are not getting the best out of you if you are constantly slouching.

Eat and drink for health. Rather than skipping breakfast and lunch, have a protein shake, it will work wonders for you! Snack on citrus fruits, they may improve your mood. Drink lots of water and forget the pop!

These may seem like simple things but they will give you the appearance of professionalism!
