Description - Dominique Sachse 

Throughout my 25 years in TV news, and having to take care of my own hair, makeup and wardrobe, not only did I learn to be camera ready, but I also developed creative self-expression along the way. 

I believe in the power of sharing and empowering others to enjoy their best self yet. 

Here, it's not just about the right concealer and smokey eyes, although I love both and enjoy producing the latest in make-up videos. I also dive into questions from viewers about organization, confidence, creating a happy and beautiful home and getting outside the comfort zone, all while blending in a little faith and encouragement along the way. My plate is full, just like yours. I'm a wife, mother of one, bonus mother to five, career-oriented, charity-minded and wanting to make a difference. Won't you join me on this journey?

These are my top 10 tips to look 10 years younger and they are almost all free! Combine them together to not only look youthful but feel better as well.

Timeless Beauty Icon - Sophia Loren shares a secret

Sophia Loren at age 52 




Who can forget Sophia Loren?

If you can believe it, the legendary Italian actress is now 83 years old — and we still look to her as an example of poise and confidence. Even after five decades in the spotlight, she walks the red carpet with grace and class seeming almost immune to the passage of time.

In her 1984 book “Women & Beauty,” she talked about taking pride in your own unique features, whatever they may be: "If you have the strength to appreciate your idiosyncrasies, the rest of the world  may come to agree with you.”

On ageing…, “There is always something to look forward to in life. Whatever age you have.”

True to her roots, she credits her youthful appearance to the Italian habit of using lots of olive oil in her diet. It turns out, olive oil is full of antioxidants that fight free radical damage. It’s rich in vitamins A, D, K, and especially skin-nourishing vitamin E, contains a powerful compound called squalene — which naturally hydrates our skin and even helps support collagen levels. 
In fact, she is famous for applying olive oil directly to her skin to moisturise.  Apparently, our skin will absorb only as much as it needs… leaving it both protected and hydrated.  

Most Italians will agree that olive oil holds powerful anti-aging properties — 

it seemed to work for Sophia!

“Beauty is how you feel inside, and it reflects in your eyes. 

It is not something physical."

  

Tuna with penne, tomatoes and olives ticks all the healthy / delicious boxes

Equally good hot or cold but for picnics, either prepare at home
or add grilled tuna to a prepared penne salad.

TUNA:  Heart Friendly, Lowers Blood Pressure, Improves the Immune System, Helps with Weight Loss, Strengthens Your Bones, Improves Skin Health, etc; is delicious and quick to prepare.

Cook 2 cups penne in a large pan of lightly salted boiling water according to the packet instructions or until al dente. Drain well.

Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Add 500g tuna steak, cook, stirring occasionally, for 2—3 minutes until seared. Remove from the pan, cut into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Return the pan to high heat and cook  2 garlic cloves, very thinly sliced; 2 long red chillies, seeded and finely chopped and 4 chopped anchovies.  Cook, stirring, for 1 minute.  Add a punnet of grape tomatoes and a handful of black olives and cook, stirring occasionally, for a few minutes, or until the tomatoes are slightly softened.

Add the hot pasta and tuna to the pan and gently toss. Add a handful of basil leaves and season with salt and pepper.

Anti-ageing foods to keep adding to your sparkle!

Hi there
While the experts are not saying that there are super foods which make you live longer, they are agreeing that foods rich in anti-oxidants may help you to be healthier as you age and reduce the likelihood of age-related diseases.

So here are some recommended 
Love them all! What is Quinoa you ask - watch this space.

Onions: Helps strengthen damaged cells and raise "good" cholesterol levels.
Garlic: Promotes the growth of white blood cells, the body's natural germ fighters; and lowers harmful LDL cholesterol and high blood pressure.
Broccoli: Rich in magnesium and vitamin C, it's one of the most powerful immunity boosters available.
Quinoa: This grain-like seed is a complete protein food, which means it contains all the essential amino acids your body needs to build muscle and repair itself.
Salmon: A great source of omega-3 fats – the ultimate anti-ageing nutrient – plus loads of vitamin D and selenium for healthy hair, skin, nails and bones.
Nuts: Contain healthy oils, fibre, vitamins, minerals, potent phytochemcials and the amino acid arginine.
Spinach: Bursting with health benefits, it contains many phytonutrients and antioxidants, including vitamins K, C and E, folate, iron and carotenoids.
Sardines: High in omega-3 fatty acids, they contain almost no mercury and are loaded with minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium and zinc.
Eggs: They contain high-quality proteins, essential minerals and every vitamin except C.
