Refresh with naturally flavoured water

<p>We all know how important it is to keep hydrated for over-all wellbeing. If you struggle to get your regular 6-8 glasses a day, there's a great way to turn a jug of water into something more exotic; and it's also really simple! <br /><br />Restaurants. hotels and cafes have been doing it for years, but now it’s your turn to transform your jug of water in to an invigorating summer drink by adding natural flavour to it. From melon to berries to lime, you can even use a vegetable like cucumber to give your plain old water a refreshing makeover. <br /><br />Flavoured water is a great alternative to high calorie sugary drinks that aren’t good for us and caffeinated beverages that usually leave us even more dehydrated. Making flavoured water can be as easy as cutting up some wedges of oranges, lemon or lime or you can mash up some strawberries and raspberries and add a touch of green with fresh mint or basil leaves from your garden. <br />However if you’re really committed to the cause, investing in a water flavour infuser could be the way to go. <br />There’s a variety of infuser options out there with everything from jugs to drink bottles available in stores such as Myer and Target or you can also purchase them online on sites.</p> <p>Jugs generally come with an infusion rod or a strainer pitcher built in the lid – so if you don't want to combine the actual fruit pieces in with the water, an infuser jug is the way to go. Infuser jugs are ideal especially if you’re entertaining guests or spending most of the day outside. If t’s just for yourself, an infuser drink bottle is a great little contraption to take with you on a walk or in the car.</p> <p><em>Written by Tahlia Pritchard.

Meghan Markle’s refreshing beauty rule revealed

<p>In the lead up to the royal wedding, people around the world are looking to Meghan Markle as a style and beauty icon.</p> <p>And the 36-year-old’s former makeup artist Lydia F. Sellers has revealed one beauty rule that Meghan always asks her makeup team to follow.</p> <p>"[Meghan’s] approach is very effortless. She just wants to look like a better version of herself.

I don't want a ton of foundation’."</p> <p>''It was more about the amount of product that went on her skin and keeping it fresh and dewy, rather than caking it on."</p> <p>Meghan previously revealed that she only wore makeup for important events and filming.</p> <p>When the star is away from the limelight she opts for an illuminating foundation primer.</p> <p>"I don’t wear foundation unless I’m filming so this is what I put on every day after moisturiser to give my skin a dewy glow. It’s not sparkly, it’s true to its name… illuminating,” she said.</p> <p>Meghan also keeps her skin healthy by applying Nivea Firming Body Lotion daily.</p> <p>"Nivea Firming Body Lotion, when it goes on sale, I buy it in bulk.
