Kim Kardashian's Rx For Avoiding Colds

                               The Soles Of Kim Kardashian!
With the holiday season in full swing, we still have to remember it's cold season.
And that's the point of this post. To remind you take special care and not get sick.

The old ways to avoid colds...Wash your hands a few times a day, eat some plain
yogurt (probiotics) sing out loud each day or add some garlic to your daily menus
are great tips, but there's one more...
The tip: Watch your shoes, more specifically-the soles.

That's right- Kim Kardashian who not only loves to buy them, but sell them
as well, can help keep you cold-free this Winter. How?
The soles of your shoes can harbor over a hundred thousand germs, germs that
can put your health at serious risk.

So, how do avoid this?
Kick off your shoes at the door, especially if you have rugs,
and wash the bottom of your shoes with a disinfecting agent
or some bleach and water, once a week.

And one more tip: Keep slippers at the door, (for all family members)
and really reduce your risk of infections.

That's it- a tip to stay cold and flu-free. And feel free to pass this tip onto
Kim Kardashian, but with her recent problems, (marital issues)
she may not be too concerned about the soles of her shoes.

Good Luck!

Sheryl Crow's Rx For Thinning Hair!

                                    Sheryl Crow and Thinning Hair!
Sheryl Crow, grammy award winning singer and songwriter
was faced with a problem that's happening to a lot of women today,
the problem: Thinning Hair!

Why does it happen?
Exposure to the Sun, free radicals and pollution
break down the collagen and elastin in the skin on the scalp.
This ages and shrinks hair follicles, so hair comes in thinner and thinner.
And don't forget that other female problem: Hormones.
This can cause women to lose about 10% of their hair every few years.
This results in droopy and thinning locks which can make you
look a little older than your actual age.
And don't forget, Ms. Crow fought a battle with breast cancer, and
that also contributes to thinning hair.

So, if you're fighting the thinning hair battle, perhaps a change
in conditioners is all you need to remedy it.
Try a conditioner that has a "negative charge."

Why this type of conditioner?
Hair is made up of negative ions, and most of the conditioners
are infused with positive ions so the product is attracted to the
strands- but a conditioner with too many positive ions
can weigh hair down. But products labeled "volumizing"
are formulated with negative ions that repel from strands,
leaving a lighter coating, so you hair appears bouncier and
thicker. 

A conditioner to make the hair look fuller:
Nexxus Sublime Volume Conditioner- 13.5 oz, price- $15,
and find it online at-Drugstore.com.

One more fun fact: Rain also contains negative ions,
so if live in city where it rains a lot, (Seattle and Portland)
walk around without a head covering or an umbrella,
once in a while.

Good Luck!

J Lo's Rx For Younger Looking Hair!

                             Get J Lo's Hair Color!
Jennifer Lopez is like most women... she really cares about her hair.
With a new boyfriend who's some 18 yrs younger than she is,
Ms. Lopez wants her hair to match her face, body and attitude.
And one way to do that: Keep your hair in tip-top shape.
Ms. Lopez,  was concerned about the gray hair
that seemed to appear overnight.

Why does it (gray hair) happen?
Hair follicles produce enzymes that break down hydrogen peroxide
molecules that naturally occur in the skin. But getting older, hormones and
stress, these enzymes slowly decrease. allowing hydrogen peroxide
to build up and strip the hair of it's natural color.

As a result- the hair gets gray, dry and wiry.
Yes, we know- gray hair is a sign of aging and we should "just live
with it." But, who wants to look older, when you're face and body
still look good?

So, to get younger looking hair, to go with your face and body,
do the following...

Pick up a paintbrush with 1and 1/2"-wide nylon bristles (about $2)
The point of using a brush--The bristles ruffle up the grays's compact cuticle
so the color pigments can be better absorbed.
To do this...Pour the dye of your choice into a bowl and use a brush
to apply the color to the roots. Then gently scrub the brush back
and forth across the strands.

That's it- Your Rx to looking younger, we can't guarantee you'll look like
J Lo or snag a younger man, but it'll make you look younger and feel better
about yourself.

Good Luck!

Beyonce's Rx For Losing The Baby Weight!

                  Slimming Secret From Beyonce!
Beyonce just revealed that her choice of snacks isn't brownies,
a dozen oatmeal cookies or endless pieces of chocolate.
No, her favorite snack: Sugar-free Jello!

That's right, and to make it more flavorful, she uses  diet 
lemon-lime soda instead of water.
Although Ms. Knowles still has cookies and brownies,
she says the Jello helps her eat less.

How? Low sugar foods helps satify you, plus they help prevent
the blood sugar swings that can trigger cravings.

So, are you ready to adopt Ms. Knowles slimming secret?
If you are, I'd advise against drinking too much diet soda,
an occasional glass is okay, drinking it on a regular basis,
can cause bone loss, damage hearing and raise blood pressure.
Have an apple before one or two of your biggest meals,
or a salad, or a bowl of broth-based soup before a meal.
All 3 are great ways to curb appetite and aid in weight loss.

Good Luck!

Tim Tebow's Rxs For A Healthier Christmas!

                                           Healthy Tips From The Bible!
Tim Tebow the enigmatic quarterback of the Denver Broncos is
quite the polarizing figure. Never has there been a sports figure
more celebrated, not just for his play on the field, but his love of God
as well.

Mr. Tebow isn't the quaterback that John Elway or Troy Aikmann were
at age 23, but his dedication to hard work, will surely win over a lot fans.
And his dedication to working hard and believing in himself, will certainly
help the people of Colorado relive the winning ways of yesteryear and
his dedication to the bible will help the fans of the other 49 states.

That's right- Just as football can help heal, so can the bible.
If you're familiar with the bible, then you're aware of the number of
times...healing with Olive oil is mentioned.
But did you also know that there are nearly 40 herbs mentioned in the
"Good Book?"
And with Christmas five weeks away, why not share the gift
of the five herbs that make up the story of the "Three Wise Men".
You remember the story of the 3 wise men bringing myrrh and
frankincense to Mary and Joseph, but have you ever wondered
what myrrh and frankincense were?
Wonder no more, you'll find the answers below...
1) Myrrh-
Ease pain with myrrh. It's a tree resin that has natural anesthetic
properties that numb pain signals in the brain. Myrrh can dampen
the perceptions of pain by a whopping 25%.
Where do you find myrrh in 2011? Look for myrrh gum capsules
at health-food stores.
Important tip: Always talk to your Dr. before trying any new
alternative treatment.
2) Hyssop-
Mentioned in both the Old and New testaments-this herb was used
as an antiseptic and disinfectant-to treat respiratory problems.
Phytochemicals in hyssop can break up congestion, loosen phelgm,
ease swelling and reduce inflammation allowing you to breathe more
easily. Look for hyssop as a tea or buy the essential oil at health-food
stores. Drink the tea or apply a few drops of essential oil to a warm
compress and apply to your chest or head.
3) Cumin-
Used as a seasoning thousands of years ago, it was also used as currency.
Cumin has 2 uses: To soothe an upset stomach and to boost energy.
It contains more than 100 chemicals that work on gas and bloating,
as well as boosting oxygen levels to help you become more energized.
Find cumin at Supermarkets in the Spice aisle, or get it in capsule
or tea form at your health-food store.
Sprinkle on soups. salads, or chillis. Or add a tsp. to a cup of hot water,
let it sit for a few mins. stir and drink as a tea.
4) Frankincense-
Concerned about all of the running around you'll have to do this
holiday season? Reduce the fears and quell anxiety with frankincense.
It activates "feel-good" receptors in your brain, easing anxiety and
mild depression. Look for frankincense as an incense or candles at
health-food stores. Light them up whenever you feel stressed or tense.
5) Saffron-
Need to beat depression this coming holiday season? A little stronger
than frankincense, this herb is said to be the safer and cheaper-Prozac.
And another benefit of Saffron--Women who suffer from irregular
periods, can regulate them and return them to normal with Saffron.
Find saffron at health-food stores, take it as a tea or as dried extract. 

So, whether you like or dislike Tim Tebow, you can't dispute
the valuable health information we can learn from the Bible.

Good Luck!

Jessica Simpson's Rx For Choosing The Baby's Gender!

               Jessica Simpson's Boy or Girl!

Jessica Simpson revealed last week that she was pregnant.
No sh##t Sherlock! The way her stomach protuded, most Americans
knew it wasn't her love of Texas barbecue that was causing the round belly.
Now that she's revealed the pregnancy, she's now claiming that she doesn't know 
the sex of her baby. She may be telling the truth, or she's trying to tell the public
to "mind your own business!"
Well, she has that right, but according to folklore, there are some
physical signs that a pregnant woman goes through that can tell you
(friend, relative, coworker or just an observer) if it's a boy or girl.
Listed below are those signs...
1) If it's a Boy:
a) Your baby's heart rate is less than 140 beats per minute.
b) You're carrying the extra weight out front.
c) Your belly looks like a basketball.
d) Your areolas are getting dark.
e) You're carrying low.
f) You're craving salty or sour foods.
g) You're also craving protein (meat and cheese)
h) Your feet are colder than normal.
i) Your hands are getting drier.
j) Your urine is a bright yellow.
k) Your nose is getting bigger.
l) No morning sickness-early in the pregnancy.
m) Hang your wedding or engagement ring over your belly...it should move in circles.
n) Add your age at the time of conception and the number for the month you conceived,
the number should be even.

2) If it's a Girl:
a) Your baby's heart rate is at least 140 beats per minute.
b) You're carrying the weight in your hips and rear end.
c) Your stomach looks like a watermelon.
d) Your left breast is larger than your right breast.
e) You're carrying high.
f) You're craving sweets and carbs.
g) You're also craving fruit and orange juice.
h) You refuse to eat the heel of the bread.
i) Your urine is a dull yellow.
j) You're becoming more moody.
k) Your breasts are becoming perky.
l) You're experiencing early morning sickness.
m) Hang your wedding or engagement over your stomach...it should move
side to side.
n) Add your age at the time of conception, and the number for the month
you conceived, the number should be odd.
That's it- again these are wivestales and not based on scientific data, but if you
or someone close to you is pregnant. Why not test a few or all of the signs
and learn the sex of your baby on your own.
And if you're close to Jessica Simpson, ask her a few questions about
her morning sickness, cravings or breast size, then you can find out the
sex of her child on your own.

Good Luck!

Hollywood Stars Low-Cost Beauty Rxs!

                    The Beauty Secrets Of Hollywood Stars!

Do you think that all Hollywood Stars spend thousands on Botox,
special moisturizers or cosmetic surgeries?
Well, if you said yes, you're wrong.
In fact, many stars use products that you may have in your cabinets
or refrigerators. Continue reading and find out their secrets...

1) Jennifer Love Hewitt-
Do you love the color of Ms. Hewitt's hair?
Her secret:  Coffee! Ms. Hewitt loves the way coffee gives
her hair a deeper and enriched brunette color.
Coffee also brings out the the cool tones.
To do- Just apply cooled coffee to shampooed and towel-dried hair.
Place a shower cap over your hair and leave the coffee in for 20 mins.
After 20 mins. just rinse out.

2) Catherine Zeta-Jones-
No expensive teeth-whitening for Mrs. Douglas.
Her secret: Strawberries!
Just mash a strawberry or two with a little baking soda and rub
the mixture on your teeth, with your toothbrush.
Strawberries contain malic acid, which can lighten stains and remove
discolorations.
This secret is also rumored to be used by Jessica Simpson!

3) Teri Hatcher-
The desperate housewife keeps her skin looking a decade younger
than most women her age.
Her secret: Red wine!
That's right, a cup or two of red wine in the tub and turn
back the clock on your skin. Red wine contains resveratrol, an antioxidant
that combats skin-aging free radicals. And for those who don't want to pour
it (wine) into the tub, rub some on your face, neck, and hands. Leave on for
20 mins. and then rinse off.

4) Cindy Crawford-
Supermodel Cindy Crawford will be 50 in a few yrs.
Her secret: Milk!
Like Ms. Hatcher, Cindy Crawford pours some milk into her bathwater
or she pours some milk into a spray bottle with a little water and spritzes her face.
The lactic acid in milk is a great exfoliant. Just make it low-fat or fat-free milk.

5) Fergie-
Fergie worries about keeping her stomach flat.
Her secret: Apple Cider Vinegar!
She takes 2 tbsps. of apple cider vinegar before 2 of her meals.
Vinegar slows down the rate of foods emptying from your stomach,
helping you to feel less hungry.
Another benefit of A.C.V.- smoother skin.
If you're budget allows-go for the organic apple cider vinegar.

6) Jessica Biel-
Although Ms. Biel is closing in on 30 yrs. of age, she doesn't want
to look it.
Her secrets: Sugar! Not eating it, but exfoliating with it.
Ms. Biel buys regular sugar and adds a tsp. to her body wash,
and while showering, scrubs the vulnerable spots. Her arms, tops
of her hands, her neck, knees, cheeks and feet.
Sugar is like microdermabrasion. You can use white sugar,
but brown sugar is less processed. Just add to your body wash or
mix it with a little vegetable or olive oil and rub yourself younger.
And take a look at my post on Christie Brinkley- age 57, another
star who uses exfoliation to look younger.
7) Halle Berry-
Named one the best looking stars for 2 decades now.
Her secret: Vitamin C!
The vitamin C drink powders can be used for drinking, or do
like Ms. Berry and apply them to your face.
She uses a cleanser and a toner and applies the pure vitamin C
to her face, neck and hands.
Vitamin C is vital for making new collagen, which is what gives skin that
plump, youthful appearance. Your recipe for looking younger-
just mix 1/4 package of Emergen -C or other powdered vitamin C packet
with 1 Tbs. of water and apply to the face, neck and hands. Let dry, and then rinse off.
That's it- some easy and very useful tips to help any woman look their youthful best.

Good Luck!
