| Challenges ahead-break open the confidence tool kit |
Whenever I have an important meeting, a particularly daunting task or feel I need some extra fizz I have a set of go to rituals to help me look my best.I I think of these as my confidence tool kit and they always help me feel outgoing and positive. Obviously I'm aware that the best way to project confidence on the outside is to feel it inside but I like to give mother nature a little helping hand.
My tried and tested tricks include:
Lots of hair-I always put some false pieces in when I want feel especially confident.My natural hair is like thin brown mist so whether its a fony, a few clip in pieces or a quarter wig the bigger the hair, the bigger my confidence.One day I might just go out as Cousin It from the Addams Family.

Need a confidence boost-bouffant your hair
Bright red lipstick-The more striking the better. This is my war paint and always makes me feel sassy.

| A slick of red and I'm ready for what the world wants to throw at me |

| Perfectly applied |
Drag queen eyelashes. If my eye lashes are fluttering like RuPauls then I'm set to conquer the world.

| My eyelashes-a new source of eco friendly power |
I'm not alone in having little tricks to make me feel my best. I remember reading an interview with Amy Winehouse where she said "The more insecure I feel, the bigger my beehive gets," I completely relate to this. When the pressures on my quiff gets bigger, my petticoats get wider and my make up gets thicker.

As I hurtle towards my book deadline (which has my little girls half term slap bang in the middle) don't be surprised to see me tottering around Tescos with kohl slicked panda eyes, lips like a fire engine wearing a ball gown. To quote the legendary Dolly Parton "It's a good thing I was born a girl, otherwise I'd be a drag queen."
