What Your Appearance Will Look Like After You Quit Smoking*


*This is a collaborative post*

If you stop smoking it will definitely bring you some health benefits. You may notice some of these benefits immediately, however, others will take some time to kick in. If you want to see what you will look like if you quit smoking versus what you'll look like if you continue to smoke, then you should use the Age Me software.

While it may be difficult to predict how your appearance will improve after you stop smoking, you will be able to get a good idea of how you will look if you continue to smoke. Research has shown that there are major benefits people receive after they stop smoking.

Younger and Clearer Skin

Smoking can lead to skin discoloration and the development of premature wrinkles. While quitting may not result in the disappearance of these, it will slow down the development of any new wrinkles.

When you quit smoking, you no longer have carbon monoxide intruding into your blood and blocking oxygen flow to your skin. That means collagen production will return to normal levels which will make your skin look healthier.




White Teeth

Oral health is one of the most visible and common issues for smokers. Smoking can lead to yellowing or blackening of your teeth and sometimes can cause decay which can lead to tooth loss.

Quitting may not be able to bring back your teeth, but studies have shown the yellow tinge disappears over time.

Bright Eyes

Many smokers have tired, reddish eyes. This is caused by irritants that the eyes are exposed to on a regular basis. Smoke can stop the body from regulating it's parts and your eyes are extremely sensitive.

Facial Wrinkles

It's difficult to reduce or reverse wrinkles, even if cosmetic companies want you to believe otherwise. Most of the anti-aging products on the market are preventative in nature. They seek to stop new wrinkles from forming, not remedy your current wrinkles.

The process of wrinkle development that is linked to smoking will slow down if you quit. Another plus is that the appearance of any current wrinkles will be reduced.





Healthier Skin After Prolonged Damage

After consistently living a healthy lifestyle, your facial wrinkles will subside. This is something that needs to be done at a physical and nutritional level. You need to eat the right foods to ensure you're getting the correct levels of any essential nutrients.

The standard old-fashioned nutrition advice applies here. Avoid bad foods, especially if you know they are not good for your skin's health. You will also want to exercise on a regular basis, which can do wonders to giving your skin a healthy glowing appearance.

There are many appearance benefits to quitting smoking. However, they are not well documented. Some of the more serious medical issues tend to receive most of the academic focus. However, the Age Me software has been proven to be effective in some smoking cessation programs.

We are delighted that predictive imaging can be used to help smokers with quitting or you can try e cigarettes which contains e-liquid.

New Favourite Blog Reads


Happy Sunday everyone! This has been one of the busiest weeks I've had in a long while. So much so I collapsed into bed Friday evening super relieved that I didn't have to set my alarm. Alas I woke up early and couldn't get back to sleep but hey ho. Thus is life. 
Have you all managed to watch the John Lewis Christmas ad yet? I'm totally in love with it. I didn't cry but I did get a warm fuzzy feeling at the end. Let me know what your opinions are!

If you're new to my 'Sunday Blog Love' then in a nutshell these posts are simply where I share my favourite reads from the past seven or so days.
This week I struggled to narrow down my favourite posts as there were just so many. You'll find amongst my final pickings some links on skincare, makeup, book reviews and also some on how to be more productive, happy and organised. As usual just click on an image to be re-directed to that particular blog link.
Glamour magazine has Clinique freebies this month (as you'll see in Makeup Savvy's post) so be sure to run to the shop and get your copy!
I have SO much to do and so little time so I really must dash. But I hope you all have an incredible day and that this coming week treats you kindly!

Lots of love

Hello lovelies! Well it's a Sunday afternoon which means I am once again sharing more of my favourite blog reads. Oh and I've just remembered... It's November today!! The countdown to Christmas is officially on. As such I'm currently listening to 'The Best Christmas Songs Ever' via YouTube!

So this week is a bit of a mix, I've featured some well known bloggers because they're personal favourites but I've also made a concerted effort to hunt down and include a few bloggers that perhaps aren't as well known. Sometimes it's easy to get lost in the mass that is the blogging world. There is afterall so many of us. Please do have a read and let me know what you think.

My skin has been a bit rubbish of late so I've been checking out some of the products other bloggers swear by. If you have troublesome skin too then definitely check out some of the links I've included. I've got my beady eye on the Dermalogica Clear Start!! Roll on pay day.
From Roses seems to make my final pickings every week at the moment, but when I saw her post on how to style a parka I just couldn't leave it out! 
Click on the relevant images to be re-directed to each blog and as always... Enjoy!

*Little heads up for any crime fiction fans. Coming this week on GirlGoneDreamer...
I chat with Tess Gerritsen about new novel 'Playing With Fire.' (Yes really! I can still hardly believe it myself!) Plus review from Murphy's Mother.

Favourite Blog Reads






Well hello again my lovely people! Have you all had a fabulous weekend? Sorry for the delay in uploading this. I ended up spending the afternoon with two of my nephews and what fun we had! One thing I'd always wanted to have a bash at was carving pumpkins! I can now say I have officially tried it! 



Ok, so I have to say my attempt probably looks way cuter than a Halloween pumpkin should, but in my defence I was helping out my four year old nephew... :) But check out Nathan's! I think his 'vampire' pumpkin is awesome. Not bad for a nine year old!

As is the norm for my Sunday post, I have collected a few of my favourite blog reads from over the last week. Kayleigh over at VeryBerryCosmo celebrated her first blog birthday yesterday! Sending huge congratulations her way! But my personal favourite read of the week has to be Heidi Swain's... 'My Writing Life with Emma Davies.' To read either of these two posts or indeed any of the others, just click on the relevant images below. Enjoy and may this week bring with it many good things for you all!
