21 July 2015
Good Morning Sunshine :)
Well, the shortest day has been and gone, we are now on the home straight to spring and summer. I’m not for one moment wishing my life away, it's just that I ADORE warmer weather and sun, lots of it. The beginning of July is also the time when, believe it or not, the retailers start introducing their new trans-seasonal ranges. I know, here we are freezing (downunder at least) and spring clothing and shoes are hitting the stores! Hopefully you grabbed some bargains during recent sales, enough to keep you going for a few months to come.
In this issue, we share Spring/Summer Trends, including showcasing some of the retailers lookbooks which are all very tempting. A reminder that when you’re looking through style lookbooks, pay attention to how they style and co-ordinate different pieces, colour and style wise, and how they accessorise an outfit and the choice of footwear - great for pulling a look together for yourself.
We got a little carried away this month!! Check out all our other goodies below, including three fabulous competitions - buried in amongst our content. A wee treasure hunt for you :)
My Gorgeous Sparkle
I’m so excited to be running my first ‘My Gorgeous Sparkle’ event in Wellington at the end of July with the High Tea Honeys. A gorgeous group of women, I can’t wait to be with them again.
If you're interested in attending or hosting this event, email us. It's also available as a fundraising opportunity.
Style Evening
We are holding our Style Evening at Glendowie College, Glendowie, Auckland on Friday 7 August @ 7pm. It’s a fundraising event and half of all ticket sales goes direct to the school.
Tickets are $25 each - and every attendee receives a goodie bag valued at over $100*, including a $20 off voucher from Max Fashions**.
We share the fundamentals of styling, beauty and wellbeing as well as showcase key clothing and footwear styles from latest brand collections.
Grab your friends and make a night of it.
For more details and to book your tickets email the school here.
* indicative only, based on average customer spend. ** $20 off any full price purchase over $100. Conditions apply.
Visit to Wellington
I am in Wellington at the end of July and due to a cancellation have one more spot available for a style appointment on Tuesday 28 July, starting at midday or 1pm. If you’re free and keen for a wardrobe refresh or a styling-shopping session, drop me a line.
Time is Running Out
Last month we reviewed fabulous products from Living Nature and also the amazing Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara.
Until 31st July, Smashbox is offering 20% off their Full Exposure Mascara, promo code GORGEOUSME. Living Nature has extended its offer of 15% off all of their products until 7 August, simply use the promo code GORGEOUSME01. Discounts apply for online sales only.
If you didn’t catch our reviews, here they are:
A Proven Way to Manage Acne - 100% Natural Too
Revolution in Skincare Toner - It’s Amazing
Skincare that Works
Wow, Loving the Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara
We've had feedback from a couple of members on the Living Nature products - they love them, and in the case of the acne treatment, they can see visible signs of improvement since using the products.
And The Winner Is…
‘Beat Burnout’ by Dr Kathleen Wills is packed with loads of practical ideas that I’m sure you’ll find beneficial. Thanks to all entrants - I wish we had a copy for you all.
$340,000!
Junk Free June raised an incredible $340,000 for the Cancer Society of NZ. On a JFJ Facebook post after the campaign, there were loads of comments from participants who had benefited immensely from abstaining from junk for the month, so much so they were continuing with it. One woman lost 8kgs. Another said she took a junk morning tea into work for her team to celebrate but she couldn’t stand the taste of the food and chose to eat her fruit. Congratulations to all participants and supporters.
All the best to those on Dry July, you're almost there.

Here's a look at what happens to your body over the course of 24 hours. And no, it's not all about coffee!
Gems of the Week
Gem of the week goes to Donna, burns survivor of 51 years. Donna, you are courageous and an inspiration to us all. Thank you for reaching out and sharing your story.
And in a similar vein to Donna's story, we thought this was great. At the time of preparing this newsletter, the video had well over 12 million views!
Until next time, keep gorgeous...
