Danger, Danger For New Moms!
Is she or isn't she pregnant? That's the million dollar question everyone wants to know
about Jessica Simpson, if she is or if she isn't, it's should really only concern Jessica,
her fiance and her family.
With that said, there's a new danger lurking and if you're a woman planning
on giving birth next week or next year, you really have to be concerned.
What is it?
Women who take antidepressants like Zoloft, Prozac, Paxil or Lexapro
before or during their pregnancy, endanger the health of future offspring.
That's right- you probably know about taking diet pills, or sleeping pills
but not too much has been mentioned about antidepressants.
Women may be struggling with money woes, boyfriend or husband drama,
living arrangements or are just overwhelmed about being pregnant, and to
overcome feelings of depression and/or anxiety, your Dr. recommends an antidepressant.
But, hold off and look for something more natural, why?
According to the researchers- women may miscarry, give birth a few wks. or months
earlier, or the babies may be born with birth defects, and something even scarier-
Drs. are looking into the connection between autism and antidepressants.
So, if you or a family member is experiencing down moods, blue moods or depression
and they're pregnant or thinking about getting pregnant, steer them toward
natural methods of dealing with their moods.
How to find natural methods?
Go online to Google and type in natural methods to overcome depression.
(exercise, eating more clean foods, eating more fatty fish, etc.)
And if you're struggling with insomnia or anxiety, look for our newsletters-
available at Amazon.com/the kindle store.
a) Natural Alternatives to Xanan.

Make Money With A Song!
American Idol will be starting a new season in about 6 weeks.
The new judges will be Nicki Minaj, Mariah Carey and Keith Urban.
If you're really a fan of the show, then you must remember the judge
named Kara DioGuardi.
People were a little upset when she was chosen, but she had years of
experience, mainly as a songwriter.
And today, Ms. DioGuardi wants women and men to know that
singers can make it big and get rich, but they rarely write
their own songs, and she wants to help you in that regard.
That's right- Ms. DioGuardi is giving out advice to future songwriters,
in the hopes that you can write songs and make money.
Listed below, are some of her best tips to make it as a songwriter.
a) Get Deep!
Simply put, personalize the song. Ms. DioGuardi says that a song that
speaks to her, about relationships or friendships are the ones that'll
get played over and over and be remembered for yrs. after they leave
the radio playlist.
b) Add Something Different-
Ms. DioGuardi says that songs like "Grenade" by Bruno Mars
or "Firework" by Katy Perry" have been well received because
they tackle common themes (love and empowerment) in a way
no one's ever heard before. So, make sure the songs are universal
and one of a kind.
c) Grab Them In The Beginning-
Simply put, make it so catchy right from the beginning, people
want to listen to the rest of the song. Start with strong lyrics and
avoid waiting to long to get to your chorus. Kara says that the beginning
is what people remember-so get to them early.
That's it- Some great tips for the people who usually don't receive too
much recognition. And if you're really serious about songwriting...
go to these sites and enter some songwriting contests.
The sites: ASCAP which stands for the American Society of Composers,
Authors and Publishers. ASCAP.com.
WeAreListening.com , MuseMuse.com/contests and Songwriting.net.
Good Luck!

Getting Sleep In Hollywood!
Some in Hollywood may live charmed lives, and yet, have the same problems
as the rest of society. What type of problems? Insomnia!
That's right- Getting enough sleep is a problem some stars go through
just like regular folks. Two stars who come to mind- Whoopi Goldberg and
Jay Leno.
Whoopi Goldberg has mentioned on "The View" that she sleeps upright
in a chair for an hour or two and Jay Leno says he only needs 5 to 6 hours
a night. Another interesting fact that Whoopi and Jay share-they both hate and
refuse to eat vegetables.
Back to the topic- Whoopi and Jay may think that a few hours here or a few
hours there, is alright, but they're sadly mistaken, getting less than 7 hours of sleep
can put you at risk for a host of illnesses like...
a) Increased risk of heart disease and heart attacks.
b) Increased risk of stroke.
c) Diabetes.
d) Weight Gain. (especially belly fat).
e) Some Cancers-(especially breast cancer)
f) Memory problems
g) Dementia
h) Anxiety and other mood disorders
i) And some other serious health woes.
So, are you like Whoopi and Jay? Do you want to go the prescribed med
route? Taking a drug like Halcion or Ambien over a long period of
time can also raise your risk of heart trouble and stroke, simply because
they're relatively new to the market and aren't meant to be taken for yrs. and
yrs. Or do try something natural like a certain yoga move, or a sweet Summer fruit
juice (instead of milk) or massaging this part of your body and be asleep within minutes.How do you find these all natural methods?
Go to Amazon.com/ the Kindle store and type in The 99 Best
Natural Remedies To Beat Insomnia! Title above
Once there, download it to your Kindle E-reader and get started on
a life where 7 to 8 hrs of sleep is normal.
Now, we have to get this info to Jay and Whoopi.
Good Luck!

Golf Ball Therapy!
As a true fan of Justin Timberlake, then you must know that his
favorite sport is Golf. And to hear some pros, insiders and
amateurs say- If Justin had spent the past 10 yrs. working on
golf and not music and films, he'd be one of the top pros in the
World today.

use if you need relief. What type of relief?
Relief from pain or tiredness.
The something that can help you: A golf ball!

and bring oxygen and other nutrients to the affected areas, helping you
find blessed relief in no time.
And yes, that's why so many people are into getting their feet massaged,
it feels Great.

Having A Baby In Hollywood!
Anne Hathaway, the talented star of the upcoming film- "Les Miserables"
is already creating Oscar buzz for her performance.
The newly married Anne Hathaway is like a lot of women,
she really wants to have to a baby.
Being a star with piles of money on hand can make getting pregnant
a lot easier.
How so? Stars can hire a personal chef, exercise trainers, massage therapists,
naturopaths-that show them the proper food and vitamins to take,
and frequent visits to the Ob-Gyn to make sure the baby is progressing nicely.
As for the rest of the population... coming from modest means- may make it harder
to get pregnant or have a successful pregnancy.
That's right- a poor diet, being around stressful situtations, job concerns,
smoking, and a number of other things can keep you from fulfilling your dream
of ever being a mom.
But luckily, there's hope for you, hope in the form of info.
Look below, and view the tips that'll put you on equal footing with
the Reese Witherspoons, the Anne Hathaways and the Beyonces
of the World, and you too, will be a mom in record time.
Fertility Tips For Future Moms!
a) Clean It Up-
Your diet. A diet that may make getting pregnant easier, "Eat Clean Diet"
by Tosca Reno. Side Note: A women in her 50's just wanted to improve
her health and regain her vitality, started the Eat Clean diet. She and her husband
both ate healthily for months, after 6 months-the woman had terrible stomach
pains and thought it was a result all of that fresh produce, grass-fed meat
and high quality eggs and bread. It wasn't, her Dr. informed her she was pregnant,
at age 51. Look for the website and book by Tosca Reno.
b) Take Vitamins-
Especially a good mulitvitamin and more vit. C.
Check with your Dr. about the best types and dosages.
c) Eat More Full Fat-
Dairy. Yes, dairy! For some reason, women who ditch the low-cal and low-fat
dairy, get pregnant more easily and more quickly. Drs. say it's probably the
hormones that cause this. After you're pregnant, switch back or cut out the
dairy again.
So, eat that regular Ben and Jerry's, Dannon strawberry yogurt and
Sargento cheese.
d) From England-
Our friends from across the pond drink tea and one doctor says black tea is
fertility booster. Drink some plain with some fresh lemons.
e) Don't Drink This-
Caffeinated coffee. I know, a lot of you will suffer, but you must have
the decaf if pregnancy is a goal. Too much caffeine inhibits your body's ability
to carry eggs from your ovaries to the uterus. And yes, tea does have caffeine,
but a lot less.
That's it- And at a later date, fertility secrets for men.
Yes guys, the problem of infertility may lie with you.
Good Luck!

Chip-Proof Your Nails!
A number of stars know the importance of a good manicure.
In fact, nails are so important, a number of stars have their
own line of nail polish, like The Kardashians and Nicki Minaj,
and some are about to launch their own line, like Selena Gomez
and Snooki.
But wait, just because a star develops or endorses a nail polish,
doesn't mean it'll be "chip-proof."
That's right- if you're going to spend a lot on nail polish make sure
it's the right type.
To chip-proof nails, look for the indestructible gel manicures that used
to be sold only in salons.
Today, you can buy your own at-home gel manicures, (look for a product
called Nutra Nail UV-Free Gel Color, price $12.00).
When you have the gel polish at home, do the following...
Apply your favorite polish, then a gel activator top coat.
When the two polishes mesh, they'll dry down to a rock solid,
shiny, scratch-resistant finish and giving you
nails that'll rival any Hollywood star.

Baking With Ashley!
Ashley Green, the very fit and very beautiful star of the "Twilight"
movie series made a guest appearance on Anderson Cooper's talk show.
She came by to talk vampires and the end of the movie's run, and she also
brought a gift.
The Gift: A Chocolate Pecan pie.
Well, the pie was a hit, and Anderson mentioned that Pecan pie
was also "his favorite type of pie!"
If you think the recipe for the pie will be listed below,
you're wrong. This post is to warn Ashley, and other famous bakers
like Blake Lively Reynolds and Justin Timberlake, about the dangers of too
many sweets.
That's right- weight gain, a higher risk of diabetes, and yeast overgrowth.
Yes, yeast overgrowth!
Baking and having a slice or two of pie or cake occasionally is quite alright,
do it on a regular basis and expect to get yeast overgrowth.
You can tell if you have yeast overgrowth by looking at your tongue,
see a white coating, then you have yeast overgrowth also known as
Candida Albican.
When the yeast grows rapidly, the toxins they release can trigger
fatigue, headaches, acne, skin rashes, itching in warm places,
brain fog and many more problems.
So, what can you do to overcome it?
You may have to go gluten-free, or swear off sweets and bread for
a week or two, watch the sugar as well, eat more vegetables,
and have a cup of top quality plain yogurt every day.
Yogurt's bacteria helps crowd out the pesky yeast and the vegetables
make the digestive tract less acidic.
That's it- and if you want that chocolate pecan pie recipe for
Thanksgiving or Chrismas, head to AndersonCooper.com

Hair Coloring Tip!
Hollywood stars and starlets that make ginormous salaries
can have the best hair care procedures done to their precious locks.
You know, conditioning, shampooing, trimming and coloring.
But what are about the rest of the "regular" women out there?
Well, if you're in the "regular" category and can only afford to
color your hair at home, do this trick to prevent staining.
The trick: When coloring your hair at home, put Vaseline
(yes Vaseline) around your hairline before you start the coloring.
The petroleum jelly creates a barrier between your skin and the hair
dye to prevent skin staining.
Another benefit of Vaseline: It keeps skin smooth, it's a great moisturizer.

Pick A Longer Lasting Pair Of Jeans!
The Kardashian sisters love to dress up, but they also love a good
pair of jeans.
And now that the sisters are making money hand over fist,
the costs of jeans probably isn't an issue for them anymore.
But, what about the rest of us? You know, the
working class folks who buy a pair and take special care
of them hoping to make them last for a few years.
Well, someone out there was listening, and there are jeans
that are available that will last longer.
What type of jeans?
Look for a pair of jeans that has at least 2% Spandex in them.
Why Spandex? The material helps maintain the fabric's shape
for a longer period of time.
Also look for darker washed jeans. They're washed and handled less
by the manufacturer, so they'll last longer than bleached or lightened
styles.
That's it- For all of you out there that can't afford to buy a new pair
of jeans every few months, like you know who.

Lower Your Cholesterol With Fat!
Have you read the recent news about Oprah?
She wants to start a line of organic foods and other products
related to health.
It's rumored that she wants to launch this endeavor from her
Hawaiian ranch. And one of the products you may see from
her ranch...salad dressings and oils made with Macadamia nuts.
You see, on Oprah's ranch are a bunch of Macadamia nut trees
and she'd be foolish not to take advantage.
That's right- foolish, Macadamia nuts are given a bad rap for their
high fat content, they're also one of the best foods for you.
Why is that?
The buttery-tasting nuts contain palmitoleic acid, and this
acid is great for lowering cholesterol, reducing belly fat, boosting
moodsand helping to control appetite.
And something even better- new research says that eating a few nuts
a day, may be more effective at lowering cholesterol than a low-fat,
bland diet would be.
So, if you were ready to go the prescription route to lower
your cholesterol, look into macadamia nuts first.
And please, don't forget to thank Oprah and her macadamia nut ranch.

Raise A Glass Like Rhianna!
Rhianna-the top selling songstress loves her champagne.
She has some on the plane, she has some in the studio and
she always has some on hand in her dressing room.
What's so special or different about a star drinking champagne?
Well, depending on the type of beverage you choose, a lot.
Hot cocoa can keep skin smooth, eggnog can boost bone health,
apple cider can keep you cold and flu-free and champagne-
can help you stay positive and upbeat during the hectic
chaotic holidays.
Champagne has special compounds that spur the production
of the feel-good hormone serotonin, and if you really want to
boost moods, add some strawberries to your glass.
Strawberries?
Yes, they contain zinc, a mineral that boosts your spirits by
regulating your production of dopamine, a chemical in your brain
that affects your moods.
So, if you're a fan of Rhianna and you need to boost your mood this Winter,
buy some champagne and strawberries. And if the champagne is
beyond your budget, buy some fish instead. It also helps keep you
upbeat and depression-free during the Winter.
Good Luck!

French Manicures For Less!
Women in Kansas or Alaska are going crazy for French manicures
just like the women in Hollywood, only difference: the women in Alaska
and Kansas have a tougher time paying for it.
But that's about to change, how?
A regular woman fed up with the price of Fr. manicures,
asked some stylists for their secrets for a "do-it yourself" Fr.
manicure and this is the tip they gave her...
The At-Home French Manicure-
Apply a base coat and let dry, then place a paper reinforcement
ring on each nail, leaving the tips exposed. Paint a contrasting
color on the tips and remove the stickers. The rings create an even
moon shape, helping to make your nails look flawless and professionally
done.
So, if you thought French manicures were out of reach, just copy the above
tip and be the envy of your workmates, classmates or mates in general.
Good Luck!

Snack Like Beyonce!
Beyonce, like a lot of women who give birth worry about the weight
they have to lose, and being in the public eye, means there's
much more pressure for stars like Beyonce and Jessica Simpson.
Stars are also more fortunate thanks to their bank accounts,
bank accounts that can afford trainers, nutritionists, nannies
and personal assistants, but one thing all of that help can't do
for them: eat the foods that'll make them slim, that's one thing
they'll have to do for themselves.
And Beyonce, like most women doesn't want broiled chicken, fish,
salads, steamed vegetables and green juices all of the time.
She does have a sweet tooth and to satisfy that sweet tooth,
Beyonce had sweet treats that were created by her trainer.
The Sweet nutrition bars are packed with appetite-suppressing
hemp protein and metabolism-boosting omega-3s that also help you
slim down.
So, if you want a sweet treat and you have to take off baby or
regular weight, look for the bars called 22 bars.
Find them at 22DaysNutrition.com
Price- $36 for 12 bars.
Good Luck!

Go Gluten-Free Like Elisabeth!
Elisabeth Hasselbeck of the T.V. show "The View" makes it known to any
and everyone the tough times she had when she was eating wheat products.
Since going wheat-free, Ms. Hasselbeck has to look for wheat-free versions of
her favorites. If you too, are wheat-free or if you're thinking of going wheat-free,
here's a recipe for Waffles that not only taste great, they won't have you running
to the bathroom, or upsetting your stomach, or making you itch, or causing skin
irritations (rashes) or giving you a head full of dandruff.
With that said, look below and try out the gluten-free waffles for folks who can
and folks who can't tolerate wheat.
The Gluten-Free Waffles!
Ingredients:
3 eggs (preferably omega-3 eggs)
1 cup raw cashews
1/3 cup almond milk (or any non-dairy milk)
3 tbsps. dark honey or maple syrup
3 tbsps. coconut oil (melted)
1/4 tsp. baking soda
3 tbsps. coconut flour *
The Directions:
Break out the waffle iron and the blender.
Put the eggs, cashews, milk, honey and coconut oil in,
blend on high until smooth. Add the last 2 ingredients, and
a pinch of Himalayan or sea salt, blend for a min.
Heat up the waffle iron and pour on some coconut oil,
pour on the batter and cook for a min. or until the light
comes on or goes off. Open up the waffle iron and remove
the waffles. Serve with fresh or frozen (and thawed) fruit,
berries, cherries, peaches or sliced apples and some maple syrup.
This should be enough for 6 waffles, and if you need more waffles,
repeat the above process or double the ingredients in the beginning.
These will also store in the freezer for later use.
* Coconut flour is expensive, so try and find cheaper gluten-free
flours like...potato or buckwheat.
That's it- and if you want more gluten-free dishes and snacks,
go to the blog by a mom who had to make a change for better health.

Entertain Kitty For Pennies!
Ellen Degeneres and Jay Leno are two of America's most famous cat
lovers. And cats like children, need and want to be entertained.
Leave kids and cats alone for a period of time, and they'll get into
all kinds of mischief.
Luckily, keeping cats entertained is easier and a lot less expensive than
it is for kids, so if you have a cat or two and want to keep them busy,
just do the following...
Take an old shoe box with the lid, and cut out 3 holes in the top and sides,
then place a ping-pong ball or two inside and finish it up by taping
up the ends.
This should keep your cat entertained and hopefully,
they'll leave the bird cage, the plants and the toilet paper roll
alone.
Good Luck!

Drink More Cocoa!
Are you a fan of the hit reality show Ice loves Coco?
It's a big hit for the E network, and it's ready to come back for another
season.
Coco, not only has a great nickname, but the beverage hot cocoa can
also boost your health. How? Continue reading and learn...
a) Reverse Sun Damage-
Although most people aren't concerned about Sun damage this time of yr.
there are folks who in some states where the beaming rays of the Sun
is still a concern. And luckily, there's cocoa. Have a cup or two a day,
to heal and repair the Sun damage you may be going through.
And drinking it also helps smooth out skin and get rids of facial redness.
b) Prevent Alzheimer's-
Concerned about losing memory as you age? Prevent it with a cup or two
of cocoa a day. Cocoa has flavonoids that open up blood vessels, boosting
the flow of oxygen and nutrients to brain cells and cutting your risk of early
brain aging by 35%.
c) Help For Coco-
Coco went through a rigorous physical exam during the last season,
what did she find out? Her blood pressure was too high for someone her age.
And if she wants to lower it she may want to try the product with the
same namesake... Cocoa!
That's right- as you read about cocoa helping to prevent brain aging, it can
also help boost blood flow to all organs, including the heart and a better
working heart means blood pressure goes down. Plus, she may want to
add more sesame oil to veggie stir-fries and salads which will
bring it down as well.
So, if you're a hot cocoa lover, now you have a few more reasons to love it.
And if do plan on adding it to your your daily regimen, remember these tips...
* make sure you buy cocoa that's 70% dark chocolate, (NO Nestle or Swiss Miss)

* make sure to leave out the danish, doughnuts, scones, bagels and other baked
goods, or you'll undo the good benefits of the cocoa.
* and if you're not a fan of the drink- perhaps you can buy cocoa in supplement
form. One to try: CocoaWell and Full Spectrum Cacao. 450 mg. day.
Good Luck!

End Anxiety Without Drugs!
Chelsea Handler-the popular star of the E channel's "Chelsea Lately!
Ms. Handler is known for her outspokeness, her quick with and
her straight forward style. One thing Ms. Handler shares with her audience
is her taking of the anxiety med-Xanan.
Ms. Handler should watch what she says concerning her taking of meds,
it might influence the younger members of her audience.
Anyway, if you too, are taking or thinking of taking Xanan, perhaps
you should learn the dangers, the side effects and then look into something,
like...
a) Sage-
Yes, it's an herb, but look into taking sage in extract form. Sage slows
down the key brain chemical that's causing your anxiety levels to rise.
Important: talk to your Dr. before adding new supplement to your diet.
b) Caffeine-
A little is okay, but taking 3 cups of coffee and a can or two of coke a day,
may be making your anxiety levels worse. See if giving up soda and switching
to Decaf works for you.
c) Exercise-
No need to run a marathon, working out for a few mins, each day, like
climbing stairs or walking for 15 mins. help kick-start the production of
mood elevating hormones.
d) Be Like Tim-
Tim Tebow to you, praying for 5 mins. is a great way to ease anxiety.
Not into prayer? Just hum or chant one word as they do in meditation.
Getting your mind off your anxiety and onto something else is a great
way to lower anxiety levels.
e) Eat Breakfast-
Not a scone, pastry or donut, but eggs. Especially the yolks.
The yolks contain choline, a nutrient proven to supress production
of the stress hormone-cortisol.
And eating foods made with white flour and sugar is a major contributor
to anxiety and high stress.
f) Drink This With Your Eggs-
Having eggs and you're likely to get thirsty, and there are 3 beverages
that help ease anxiety levels, the 3 beverages: Earl Grey tea, grape juice,
and Tulsi tea (available at health-food stores).
g) Be Like Taylor Swift-
Ms. Swift is one star who admits to suffering from high anxiety levels,
to learn how she overcame it- order the E-newsletter mentioned below
for all of the details.
And if you need more tips on easing and lowering anxiety levels,
head to Amazon.com/the kindle store and order the E-newsletter...
Natural Alternatives to Xanan. A percentage of every newsletter
will go to help the people of the floods of New York and New Jersey.

Be More Like Robert Pattison!
Robert Pattison one of the stars of The Twilight series revealed
on Ellen (the talk show) that he adopted a dog.
What's so unusual about that?
Well, it's not that unusual, given Mr. Pattisons' penchant for
saving money and his love of pets and if you love pets like Mr Pattison,
you can also boost your health. How?
Living with a pet can ease depression, which negatively affects heart rhythms,
cholesterol levels and blood pressure. And a pet from a pet store or a shelter
means you're less likely to suffer from a heart attack and if you do suffer
from one, you're five times more likely to recover and live a long life
thanks to the pet.
So, if you already love Robert Pattison, this news about his kindness to pets
will only help you love him even more.
And one more thing... Please make his movie No.1 this weekend,
the more money the movie makes, the more Mr. Pattison makes
and that means he may adopt another dog.
Good Luck!

And lastly, put in the softer vegetables and cook for another 5 to 8 mins.

Larry The Cable Guys' Favorite Food!
Larry The Cable Guy, is an unapologetic lover of America,
he loves the national anthem, football, barbecue, westerns,
the military and beef jerky.
Okay, we're not sure about beef jerky, but it (the beef jerky)
is a part of Americana, and if you thought there weren't any benefits
of eating beef jerky, you were wrong.
A beef jerky or two can help you get over the afternoon blahs that plague
a lot of us. It's a concentrated source of pure protein, and that protein
can increase the energy neurotransmitters known as dopamine and
norepinephrine.
So, if you thought that gas station pastry, bag of chips or candy bar
would give you a boost of energy, you were wrong, it's the beef or turkey
jerky located on the counter that's the real energy booster.
And one more tip: if you're watching your salt intake, then you may have to
skip the Slim-Jim.
Good Luck!
