SELF LOVE AFTER CANCER<br />
A<br />
breast cancer survivor has been through<br />
many emotions; some too difficult to put<br />
into words. Beyond the emotions, are<br />
also, physical changes. Surgery and<br />
chemotherapy can cause scars, loss of feeling and<br />
sensitivity which forever alter the reflection in the<br />
mirror. These treatments can also cause loss of<br />
hair, weight gain and changes to the texture of<br />
your skin and nails. All of these physical changes<br />
can make it hard to revive self-esteem and<br />
confidence.<br />
Here are tips on how to show yourself selflove,<br />
a top priority so that you can enjoy the<br />
recovery process and feel better faster.<br />
is your chance to have fun with different hair looks. If<br />
you have always wanted to be a gold/wine head<br />
-dye straight away. Get cute and funky headbands,<br />
barrettes/hats as your hair grows out. Wigs can be<br />
fun as well, play with different hairstyles and change<br />
your wig along with your clothes.<br />
Though it is unfortunate, the reality is that some of<br />
your favourite clothes might not fit the same way so<br />
be sure get new ones. You may have gained some<br />
weight from the steroids and treatment but you can<br />
always keep some clothes for when you lose it. Get<br />
out of grumpy clothes and try dressing to impress<br />
Invest in beauty products -It is said that<br />
chemotherapy and radiation age women by<br />
a decade, this is because it destroys healthy<br />
cells and the thin skin around your eyes may<br />
not get the elasticity they once had, giving<br />
you dark circles that make you feel that you<br />
still look sick. Give yourself facials, enjoy<br />
time at a spa and experiment with beauty<br />
products and makeup to give yourself the lift<br />
you need. “If the result makes you feel<br />
better, it’s worth it.”<br />
Whether you are married or single<br />
wear sexy lingerie. Don’t think you’re not a<br />
sexy lady! You may not feel comfortable with<br />
your scars and breasts; but, dressing in<br />
beautiful lingerie will keep you feeling sexy<br />
not just yourself but for your lover too. You<br />
may experience vaginal dryness, so make<br />
sure your lube is always handy. Be ready to<br />
help when your brain is saying ‘yes’ while<br />
your body is saying otherwise. Make it a<br />
point of duty to always enjoy romantic dates<br />
such as candlelight dinner, a picnic on the<br />
beach with a bottle of wine, soft music-all<br />
these can help spark your fire.<br />
Take time to unplug each day to give your<br />
brain a break, you will probably vow to love<br />
the new you, so stay positive.<br />
It is an enormous job loving your body after<br />
breast cancer - a number of articles before now<br />
have already helped in describing what will<br />
happen to your body as you fight breast cancer,<br />
not to mention all the details your doctors would<br />
have spelt out to you immediately you knew your<br />
breasts were going to change.<br />
Try and live a healthy lifestyle- getting healthy<br />
after treatment can make you love your body<br />
again, especially as this can make you feel strong,<br />
help you look good and give you endorphin highs<br />
that will keep you smiling. Exercise can also help<br />
to shake your fatigue, be it chemo-induced or due<br />
to depression. Attend gym and yoga just for cancer<br />
survivors, these classes are led by trainers who<br />
understand specifically your needs.<br />
Play with hair styles while waiting for it to<br />
grow back since losing hair is never easy. So this<br />
Spice up your Bedroom with Colour<br />
bedroom should be designed for rest, relaxation and romance, and choosing<br />
A the right paint colour can help make that happen. For a peaceful and tranquil<br />
bedroom, as an interior designer here are my favourite selection of paint colours<br />
to help you get inspired to make your own bedroom the retreat of your dreams.<br />
If there is one room in your home where you want to feel calm, happy, and<br />
relaxed, it’s the bedroom.<br />
The easiest and affordable way to revamp your bedroom is by painting it a new<br />
colour.<br />
The right paint colour will instantly set the mood for your bedroom. So, start by<br />
thinking about the feel you want your room to convey.<br />
Is it calm and serene? Bright and happy? Pretty and feminine? Tailored and<br />
sophisticated? This will help you determine the perfect paint colour selection.<br />
Dark colours make a bedroom feel cozy. Neutral and muted colours help a space<br />
feel calming,while bright colours boost your mood. On the other hand, cool<br />
colours tend to be more soothing and promote relaxation.<br />
Here are some bedroom paint colour ideas<br />
Blue in varying hues brings calm and serenity. Keeping everything in the same<br />
blue family but of varying hues keeps it more active and fun.<br />
Crisp White is great for a modern, fresh and timeless look. An all-white<br />
bedroom is always an inviting place for sleep, but don’t be afraid to try a little<br />
colour - even if just as an accent wall.<br />
Cream with a yellow undertone is the perfect neutral to provide a warm but not<br />
too dark and cozy feel<br />
Green brings a feel of nature; and always provides the best colour inspiration.<br />
It helps bring the outdoors indoors<br />
Grey and Beige are neutrals that lend a masculine vibe. Try any of these<br />
colours. It delivers warmth without overpowering the room<br />
Try any of these and let me know.<br />
