Spring is the perfect time to turn your winter hibernation into healthy habits that will transform how you look and feel.
Out with old and in with the vibrant! Take the time to empty your pantry and fridge of processed and refined foods. Out goes the biscuits and chocolates you’ve been hiding away, frozen foods, white pasta and white rice.
Replenish your shelves with vibrant fresh produce and whole grain foods like spelt pasta, red rice, brown rice and quinoa. Buy some agave nectar and discover the delectable treats you can make with this healthier alternative to sugar.
You’ll bounce out of bed in the morning when you drop those evening vino’s. Soft drinks, energy drinks and caffeine are on the hit list too! Filtered, clear water with added mint leaves of fruit will cleanse you of toxins and revitalise your energy. Try some liquid chlorophyll to cleanse the blood or fresh lemon in warm water in the morning to give your liver and digestive system some love.
Replace white, processed bread and pasta with fresh produce in an array of different colours. A good guide for the perfect meal is a palm of protein, two handfuls of vegetables/salad, some whole grain carbohydrates if you must and a fingers length of good quality oils like avocado, coconut or olive oil.
It’s time to breath - Outside! After winter, this can be a new experience for many of us workaholics. Create the time to get out into the fresh air every day.
Grab a few minutes of beautiful sunshine, replenish those vitamin D levels that have been shown to boost mood and immune system function.
Moving your body has more health benefits than you can poke a stick at. If you are not used to exercise, then start with some walking. If you love the gym, then it’s time to start sweating again. The early morning of Spring are a gorgeous time for a quick run before your day begins.
Find that you are hitting snooze just one too many times? Are your excuses for not exercising or cooking wearing a bit thin? Mix up your routine and discover the energy, vibrancy and freedom that comes from planning a week’s worth of meals on a Sunday evening so that you don’t get takeout every night. Arrange to meet friends for an early morning walk to get you moving again. Sometimes there’s a lot of freedom that can be gained from organisation and planning!
Take advantage of the gorgeous Spring weather and start taking little steps each day so that you can bounce out of bed and rediscover your energy and vitality.

Napoleon Perdis: The Brand Builder
In 2008, and one of the first international makeup artists to be involved in the Designers for Target program in the US, Napoleon Perdis created NP Set, a colour cosmetic offering for the masstige market.
NP Set launched soon after in Australia where the easy-to-use, multi-purpose products at very accessible price points were fast a winner with the savvy Australian consumer. In April 2012, Napoleon took the NP Set brand (and his famed expertise and knowledge) to the television screens of up to 7 million Australians via TVSN. With the identification of the evolution of omni-channel retail combined with his experience on the US powerhouse home shopping network, QVC, home shopping networks were a natural next step for the brand and the man. In May 2012 Napoleon opened his first Napoleon Perdis Life.style store in Sydney's Woollahra, restoring the iconic Post Office. Representing the next visionary step of the Napoleon Perdis brand, Life.Style was borne out of Napoleon's passion for art, fashion, design and all things beautiful.

The brand's latest skinnovation comes in the form of The One. A one shade wonder concealer and a sales success story! Sometimes an upgrade is as important as innovation.
