Get on the oil trend!
Be kind to your skin and it will be kind to you! Silky smooth natural oils are the latest thing for babying your skin. Experts say they moisturize better because they absorb more quickly than lotions. They also nourish your skin with lots of vitamins and antioxidants!
Pisces rules the feet. If yours are tired, dry, and rough, soothe them with a nourishing kiwi-seed oil massage. It’s rich in vitamins C and E, magnesium, potassium, and omega-3 fatty acids. And the oil is also great for nourishing the hair. Relax and give yourself the full-on spa treatment!
Perfect your Pisces posture with these tips…
If you didn’t spend your childhood balancing books on your head in charm school, your posture may be less than ideal. Slumping over a keyboard with shoulders hunched can cause chronic aches and pains. Good posture requires some conscious effort at first, but then it’s second nature!
At a desk: Keep your back pressed firmly against the chair, knees level with or higher than hips, feet resting on the floor.
On a couch: Keep a small pillow behind your lower back.
Standing: Give your back a rest by placing one foot on a low stepstool or an open cabinet.
In bed: Sleep on your side with a pillow between your knees, or on your back with one beneath them.
Amicable Pisces can see straight through your BS…
Witty, charming, delightful Pisces loves to laugh. They’re friendly, engaging people who can surprise you with their knowledge and amuse you with their humor. They’re also mysterious. You won’t be able to plumb the depths of this magical sign in one (or a dozen) dates, but potential partners will be enchanted enough to try and try again. Openhearted and sympathetic, they’ll listen to your woes so long as you’re positive and not whiny. And be forewarned—these intuitive beings can see right down to your soul. If you’re faking it, the Fish will know.
Magical love tricks Pisces style…
Romance with Pisces is like water to fish. You breathe it into your very being. Any date with you is enchanted because you know exactly how to turn on the charm and make it special. An attentive lover, you’re sometimes guilty of ignoring what you want. You’ve tried candlelight and flower petals, so how about something different? Pisces rules the feet. Soak one another’s in warm, scented water, and massage your piggies with fragrant lotion. Then think of imaginative ways to play footsie! Your feet—and partner—will thank you!
Luxe up your sneaker game Pisces…
The right shoe can make or break an outfit, but perhaps pointy stilettos make your feet ache. You need yours to be comfy, so how lucky is it that the latest trend is sneakers! Try to work some bulkier kicks with your shorter dresses or cutoffs, and maybe even go for high-tops if you’re feeling good. If you have legs that go to there, pair a mini with lace-up high-top high heels! High-end patchworks of textures, colors, and materials were made for billowy skirts. And tailored athletic wear is on-trend for men, mixing up neoprene, jersey, and leather. It’s okay to wear those luxe sneakers to dinner!
Learn to protect your spongy-like nature…
Ordinarily, empathy is a good thing. You should know—Pisces has it by the bucketful! But it can also be draining. You know how you feel when you see someone being chewed out. You aren’t the one being reamed, but you still feel it in your gut! That secondhand stress can actually be bad for you. The knot in your stomach or sense of low-grade anxiety can increase your blood pressure and even contribute to heart disease! To protect yourself, meditate, exercise, or learn a few relaxation techniques that you can draw upon when the need arises.
Don’t feel guilty—just do it!
Sensitive Pisces has a tendency to flee from things you don’t want to deal with, and you can be prone to overindulging when you’re feeling moody. Don’t drown your sorrows in alcohol. Instead, sip a tasty mock-tail that is good and good for you! Try some rose-hip pineapple punch. Rose-hips have anti-inflammatory properties that may ease joint pain and stiffness. Pineapple is loaded with vitamin C. For one serving, stir together ½ cup brewed and chilled rose-hip tea, ½ cup crushed ice, and four ounces unsweetened pineapple juice. Garnish with fresh mint leaves. Here’s to your health!
Take care of yourself first…
You’re always thinking of others and how you can help them, but it isn’t selfish to take care of your own physical and mental well-being. How else can you be ready to come to the aid of others? Putting yourself first has definite beauty benefits, too. Ample sleep, plenty of water, laughter, regular breaks, exercise, healthy food, and working at a job you love will all help to make you more radiant and calm—the better to face the harsh, brutish real world!
Add some spice to your life, Pisces!
It turns out that the spices you already have in your kitchen have surprising health benefits. Cloves are associated with your sign, and a compound in ground cloves may act as a stomach soother. Add a pinch to tea or a cup of applesauce. Feeling blue? Curcumin, an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory agent in turmeric, can help ease depression. Sprinkle it on grilled vegetables or stir it into quinoa. Drifting off into fantasyland? Stay sharp with a bit of cumin. Its anti-inflammatory properties may help improve memory and lower stress. Add it to hummus or toasted nuts. Keep bones strong and regulate blood sugar with some cinnamon in oatmeal or cottage cheese, or sprinkled on apple slices.
Pisces, be even sweeter with this beauty tip…
There’s nothing sweeter than a kissable mouth. Get yours ready for action by rubbing on a dab of brown sugar lip scrub. The sugar crystals combined with jojoba and grapeseed oils exfoliate and moisturize dry, chapped skin. Wipe off with a tissue (if you can resist the temptation to eat it) for lips as soft as honey. Finish with a brown sugar and vanilla lip butter, or if you’re feeling more daring, apply shimmery lilac-toned Let Them Eat Cake lipstick from Lipstick Queen and head out to meet your sweetheart! Va-va-va-voom!
