GET YOUR ALMOND OIL ON !

May 19th, 2012

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.

The truth…..

May 18th, 2012

about the Plateau

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!

BABY SNAIL SLIME??

May 16th, 2012

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…..

Reduced fat or Reduced sugar…

May 10th, 2012

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!

Cheers!

THE GLASS IS FULL!! YAY!!

May 9th, 2012

Forget half full…. Let’s go all the way and fill that glass! According to Elaine Fox, Ph.D., and author of the forthcoming book “Rainy Brain, Sunny Brain,” optimism is something you can strengthen like a muscle. Pessimists will tend to see events as beyond their control…. So step up and remind yourself who’s in charge. Success is in our power…. All it takes is discipline to reach our goals. Next time you start viewing a situation as bad…. Rethink of a way to make it good and start retraining your brain.

PFC

May 8th, 2012

AKA: Perflourocarbons…. the man made chemical used to to keep our food from sticking to pots and pans and keep our raincoats from getting wet is known to cause cancer of all types, bring on early menopause… it’s linked to neurological issues and immune disorders…. and these  are just a few of the issues! Limiting our exposure is a must! Avoid…. Non stick pots and pans, choose clothing that isn’t treated with stain guards or water repellants, lose the stain treatments on new carpets… and for God’s sake…. Cook popcorn the old fashion way…. on the stove. Most microwave bags are lined with PFC’s.

PFC’s stay in our bodies for a number of years after exposure. Life is hard enough…. Who needs man made chemicals reeking havoc on our bodies…..

Modernesque

May 6th, 2012

Alisha Spencer: Jewelry & Accessories Editor

Jewelry made in the form of clean line and shapes always seems to catch me eye and designer Karma El Khalil did just that. I’m obsessed with her work, she uses simple geometrical shape and design to create a wearable form of art. The jewelry is made with either white or yellow gold and some pieces are dripping with diamonds. This versatile jewelry can be casually worn every day or dressed up for a special occasion.

Indulge in treats….

May 3rd, 2012

away from home

 

When you need a treat, try taking a walk to a fun, social spot and making of an adventure of it! Turing your diet cheat into a special occasion makes your indulgence all the sweeter.  If you make an outing of it, and get whatever you’re craving in a single serving, you don’t have to worry about the temptation of having treats in the house.  If you indulge with friends who know you are dieting, or who are dieting themselves, you are far more likely to eat less than you would if you indulged at home by yourself! Talking and visiting with friends also slows down how quickly you will eat your treat, allowing more time for you to enjoy it and feel full! For those times you just can’t get out? Frozen grapes or fresh fruit are always great diet approved treats to help curb cravings.
Cheers!

CARTIER LOVE BRACELET…..

May 1st, 2012

FOR MOTHER’S DAY

 

 

 

What a better way to say “I LOVE You Mom” than the Cartier Love Bracelet. The “Love” Bracelet is a fabulously famous piece of jewelry…. and a classic that mommy can wear for years to come! Originally designed in 1969 by French jeweler Aldo Cipullo, there are now 101 pieces in the LOVE collection. This provocative bracelet has stood the test of time and it’s resemblance in function to medieval chastity belt makes it all the more popular. With the horizontal line inside the letter “O” alluding to the bracelet’s locking system, becoming a slave to love has never been more fashionable.

In 2006, Cartier introduced the “Love Charity Bracelet,” a version consisting of a silk cord and golden ring bearing the word “Love.” Cartier donates 150.00 from each sale of the bracelets to a variety of charities. What a better way to give back… say “I love you” and know you are contributing to your mom’s hip and cool factor by allowing her to wear love on her sleeve! From 450.00 to 100,000.00

HAPPY ALMOST MOTHER’S DAY!!

A subtle color story of shimmering stones gives the various metals… rhodium plated gold, oxidized silver, and gunmetal the balancing contrast needed as the stunning combination of glimmering gems stand out brilliantly against the dark metal. The juxtaposition of jewelry above effortlessly displays timeless sophistication in an unexpected way.
