    So recently I came across an article about Elle Macpherson's tips for looking fabulous at fifty. And let's face it, she's a quality quinquagenarian!

    I suspect that to look like Elle Macpherson at fifty I probably have to be have been Elle Macpherson at birth, but her other tip was water. Elle suggests drinking three litres of water a day. 3L sounds like a small price to pay to be the body, so I've been giving it a red hot go.

    By my second litre I'm looking for a little bit of flavour, so I've been adding a dash of this easy ginger syrup to my soda water to add a bit of interest.easy ginger syrup recipe. Not only is ginger syrup is a refreshing mixer and cocktail classic, it's super easy to make.

    easy ginger syrup

    Ingredients:

    125g fresh ginger
    200g sugar
    500ml water

    Method:

    Don't bother peeling the ginger, just chop it into fine pieces. Then in a small saucepan combine the sugar, water and ginger pieces.
    Bring to the boil then reduce the heat and simmer for 45 minutes.  Allow to cool, then pour through a sieve to remove the pieces.
    Enjoy mixed with soda water (or as a delicious base for ginger flavoured cocktails if being a supermodel isn't on your list of things to do for the evening).easy ginger syrup

    Elle also suggests sunscreen, sleep and exercise. I'm committing to the water, the sunscreen and the sleep. I figure that'll guarantee I'm 75% as hawt as Elle in 13 years.

    what's your beauty secret?
