Dry flaky skin got you down?? Coming out of winter and rolling into Spring… I am noticing some seriously dry, flaky and not too pretty skin under the bondage of my winter rags. Last night I used Almond Oil on my legs…. to wake up with some seriously moisturized and supple skin….

Almond Oil is 68% oleic acid…. an anti-inflammatory fat that soaks quickly into our skin cells helping to shut down redness, pain and itching on severely dehydrated skin. It speeds up healing time on rashes and flakes and stimulates the formation of healthy new skin cells. Ancient Chinese and ayurvedic practitioners relied on almond oil to help clear up many skin woes….. Why shouldn’t we? Get your almond oil on tonight and wake up with beautiful skin!!

Almond oil can be found in most health food markets.

Did you know the reason some people hit a plateau when trying to lose weight is because they actually need to eat more? It’s true! The human body is very smart, when you first start a diet or exercise program it’s a shock to the system.  Overtime the body readjusts and learns how to use calories more efficiently.  This means less weight loss! But don’t worry there is a way to fool your body, simply eat more! Research shows increasing your protein intake by 10 to 20 percent can get your body burning again.  The added protein will also help you keep your muscle mass up which burns more calories too! If your weight loss has slowed down or stopped it might be time to up the protein.

Eat more = weigh less

Cheers!

Basil…. This beautiful little SuperFood is loaded with Vitamin A, Magnesium and Potassium… plus it has anti-microbial properties. Meaning…. it has the potential to reduce the growth of bacteria. Toss into salads, tuck into a sandwich, throw on your pasta, or just eat right out of the strainer!!  Just make sure to include this fragrant little herb in meal time!!

Yes!! You heard me right Kids…. The hottest New Moisturizer on the market is using “Snail Slime” AKA: Snail Smile Extract… That would be the goo that snails leave in their tracks… Kinda Ewwwww… But supposedly Snail Slime contains healing and regenerative power when applied to the skin.

Missha is the first one to come out with a facial product harnessing the super powers of slime. “Super Aqua Renew Snail Moisturizer” is the proper name. Snail Slime is secreted from healthy baby snails. What a better way to say “I love you” to yourself than smearing some slime on your face!! I just purchased… Stay tuned for an update…..

About a month ago I wrote about the BelleCore Body Buffer…. AMAZING product! It’s helping smooth my legs my stimulating collagen production by boosting my blood flow. Along with the buffer comes an amazing product…. Called Belle Apres Body Contouring Creme. Made by BelleCore to use after buffing…..

It’s a total body moisturizer for men and women with firming and toning action…. Loaded with oils of grape seed, safflower and almond…. this unique cream has made it into my list of top 10 of products I will never be without! Enriched with Vitamin E and B3, extracts of ginko biloba, white and red teas… This cream is the BOMB with a capital B!! You can find it at Neiman Marcus in the cosmetics department….. Or go into the Amazon site and find it there with the BellCore Body Buffer.

One out of ten…….. I give this product a 15!!!

Does not translate into “Good for you!” With more people becoming health conscious, more companies are offering healthier alternatives and options.  A common miss conception is that this healthier option is in fact healthy.  It might be less calories or fat than its original counterpart BUT it is still likely to be far from healthy.  A perfect example of this might be the Reduced Fat Very Berry Coffee Cake at Starbucks.  It appears light and fluffy but it actually packs 10 grams of fat per piece and 350 calories!  If this were to become your breakfast, you would be starting your day off with 59 grams of carbs and 31 grams of sugar, hardly a “healthy” way to start the day! Be careful next time you reach for a reduced fat or reduced calorie item, it may be better but that doesn’t mean it’s good for you or your waistline!
