Those Summer Ni-highhhhtss

From iVillage comes this guide for getting ready, looking fab, and feeling great for a summer night out:

Revitalise tired legs ready for a night out on the town by sprinkling a
few freshly chopped mint leaves into your bath - or place dried
peppermint into a tea infuser and let it hang under the tap as you run
your bath water. Aching muscles will feel rejuvenated and you’ll be
ready to hit the dance floor.

Cold chamomile tea added to warm bathwater (or simply drop in a couple of teabags - yes, really!) will help relax muscles and will delicately fragrance the skin.

If you don’t have time for a pampering bath, have in a footbath, which can be as refreshing. Ideally, the water should come up to mid-calf, and if you use cold water it can often be an instant reviver - many people claim it can cure headaches too! Add a few drops of lemon oil and/or peppermint oil and you’re feet will feel fresh, soft and full of life. Alternating between hot and cold footbaths is an excellent way to stimulate the circulation.

   

Buy a small plastic pump spray bottle (one that gives a fine mist) and fill with fizzy mineral water and add a couple of drops each of peppermint and neroli oil. Pop this into your handbag for an instant all-over refresher when you’re feeling the heat - it’s perfect for setting make up, or just for reviving tired limbs, as well as adding a flattering, dewy glow.
