Future Plans

The simple things in life can make a HUGE difference in our mind and mood for the day. We are creatures of habit and here are 8 tips on how to UPLIFT yourself in 2018. Try it, I do all of these and it has made my life more enjoyable everyday.

1. Buy RED Garments.

Wear red underwear! Increase your energy levels by wearing RED this is according to University of Rochester researchers. The colour makes you creative, more alert and encourages muscles to move faster.

2. Play Classical Music when eating

What to move a few kilos off the scales? Turn off the TV at meal time and turn on the classical music, soft and slow background music. Australian Music Therapy Association treasure Jeanette Tamplin says the research is to believed “Music, particularly rhythm and tempo, can influence behaviour and physiological function”.

3. Organise your office

Organise your office and place your desk near the window, give yourself the best view, place some colourful flowers outside to brighten your day. Touch paperwork once, open the letter, pay the account, print receipt and file. All in once action saves time.

4. Clear small debts.

Feeling stressed by debt? Take steps to pay the smallest debt first then work on the others. Pay more than the minimum amount and when you get offered more credit cards say NO. Budget all your outgoings for the year, divide by 52 weeks and save this into a hidden bank account so the $$$ are there when needed.

5. Start your day with motivation video or music.

The first 20 minutes of your day what you hear sets your mood for the day!Turn on You Tube and listen to a motivation video or music to pump you up for the day. NO TV, try it for 7 days and see how your mind and spirit will be uplifted.

6. Daily Journal

Buy an empty book with a beautiful cover that makes you smile and start a daily journal. Take 10 or 20 minutes in the morning to write how you are feeling, your intentions for the day and then 20 minutes in the evening how your day went. This assist in lowering stress levels and releases the tension from the day. Also great to read your journal at the end of the year, see your achievements and growth.

7. Move your BUTT – Exercise

Discover some form of exercise that excites your and do it daily. Keep the body moving will keep it young. Yoga, swimming, gym, walking, tennis, golf, not sure what you like? Try a few and see what makes you jump out of bed with ease. The morning is the best time to exercise gets the endorphins happening, fabulous way to start the day!

8. Live in the moment

Don’t let life fly by in a blur, learn to live in the present moment, today and enjoy what is happening around you. Become a listener when people are talking to you, don’t interrupt until they have finished speaking. Observe people, look around and see others enjoying their day. Breathe in the beauty that surrounds us!

Share with me what steps your will turn into ACTION!

Until next time

Why I started a Skincare Company in 2006.

As a young 21 year old woman in 1981 doing a diploma in beauty therapy my life was mapped out for me yet I didn’t know where it would lead.

Having the opportunity to be a trainer for an international skincare company when I was 26 years old, I was always curious to why certain ingredients where used in skincare formulations.

It was in 2001 I started reading and researching ingredients used in skincare, the benefits and what would maintain youthful skin. Being a single mum and working fulltime and not having much faith in myself, my research became became a hobby.

One day a light bulb moment I thought “make it happen” you can do it.

Working in Day Spas each day I witnessed how much money woman was spending on skincare to find that product that would give her YOUTHFUL skin & make her feel beautiful. Each day Woman from all ages entered the doors wanting treatments and products to make them feel great.

The skin is the largest living organ and we need to ask ourselves are we feeding or killing our skin. For me it was all about the NATURAL ingredients and what was a woman feeding her skin.

Make a cake, make a skincare product, just do it! I searched and found a company that used my formulations to make the first test batch of skincare. A few changes were made then in it was testing time on real people.

January 2006 I asked a group of women to test the skincare products for 6 months, this gave me time to get the money together to do the first production run for launch January 2007.

I remember that first day, pallets of products arrived at my rented place where the stock was stored in the garage.

What a roller coaster of a ride, made money, spent too much money, labels lifted in production run, labels peel off weeks after arrival. It has been an interesting 10 years.

Many a Woman would have said “To hard and give up” I am grateful that one of my personality traits is persistence.

Let’s jump into 2017 and I am still here, sharing the love of natural/organic skincare, selling Door of Youth online. Have a warehouse now, sending products Australia wide. Loyal subscribers who have been using DOY skincare for 7+ years.

My goals have always been high and want every woman to experience DOY skincare.

Excited to jump into 2018, new enrich day cream & packaging. Launching Vitamin Serums range, AB / C and whitening. Anti-aging body range we are testing at present with the vision of launching mid-2018.

I have a purple folder with all my notes, articles and first contracted signed for the first production run of skincare. One day it may become a book for many Woman out there that has a dream!

Here are some pictures from where it all started in November 2006.

Stock arrives, son and mate unpack, time to celebrate!

First customer, happy smiles!                           First look of skincare, wow we have evolved.

The Secret to Youthful skin is found in sugarcane.

As we age our skin starts to look dull, firmness disappears, the youthful glow is diminishing. Why does this happen and how can we look fabulous in our 30’s, 40’s and 50’s?

No need for expensive salon treatments find a skincare range high in Glycolic derived from sugarcane.

Glycolic Acids have caused a sensation recently as anti-wrinkle active ingredients. They loosen the intercellular ‘glue’, allowing new cells to come through more rapidly and stimulate the formation of collagen and elastin. The visible effect is a skin which looks fresher and younger. Glycolic acids help remove the surface skin cells, improving skin texture and colour. Skin is left feeling plump and glowing as the new skin layers are revealed.

Despite its modern chemical name, the beneficial effects of Glycolic acids have been used for centuries. Cleopatra use to have her legendary milk baths and tales of woman using red wine baths to keep their skin youthful.
Our facial skin is made up of three layers the epidermis (what we see), dermis (the middle layer) and subcutaneous layer (the third layer). Our skin, due to shedding of skin cells, replaces itself every 7 years. Your skin sheds every 28-45 days, rejuvenating the epidermis and allowing the next generation of skin cells to come forward. We shed about 40 lbs of skin in a lifetime! The dead skin needs to be slough off to allow the new cells to the top.
What happens is we get a BUILD UP of DEAD SKIN CELLS this will make our skin look tired, uneven tone and fine wrinkles may appear. With young skin types they get blocked pores that forms pimples and scar tissue.
When buying a Glycolic skincare product check the levels of ACTIVE ingredient. If the percentage of glycolic is not on the label don’t waste your money.

Door of Youth Skincare is RICH in Glycolic. The Foaming Cleanser is 5% AHA, Skin Renewal Serum 12.5 % and Enrich Day Cream with Hyaluronic Acid gives a younger glow and tone to skin.
