Rachael Ray's Rx For Great Skin!

                                 Eat More Burgers! 

Are you bothered by cold sores? Do you get rid of
one and then another one reappears?
Well, believe it or not, it may be a deficiency. A deficiency
of iron and Zinc. And one way to get more iron and zinc is
by following Rachael Ray.

Well, not following her T.V. show, but cooking and then eating 
one of her favorite foods...The Hamburger.
That's right- a trip to Jack n' The Box or Arby's
may be all the medicine you need.

Why burgers?
Lean burgers has lots of Zinc, which is vital to stop the cold sore
virus from reproducing, and maintaining good levels help cut down
on the risk of future outbreaks/ Plus, burgers have Iron, and Iron
boosts the immune system cells that block new cold-sore viruses from
taking up space on your mouth.
So, if you were feeling guilty about eating a burger or two a week,
don't be, it can keep cold-sores at bay.

And if you do decide to eat more beef (burgers and steaks) remember 
these rules...
* make it grass-fed beef (it's a better quality of beef)
* Skip the white bread. White bread or poor quality bread is
yeast, and what does yeast do? It grows, into viruses,
White bread, sweets and soda, make your body the perfect
breeding grounds for futures cold-sore viruses.
* Add Garlic- love your burger or steak rare?
 Well, avoid E coli by adding some powdered or real garlic
  to your burger mixture or on top of your steak.
* Watch Rachael Ray, or visit her online if you need some
  burger recipes. 

That's it- Another tip from the always delightful and helpful
Rachael Ray. And if you want to read more on the benefits of
burgers--head on over to our regular blog--SupermarketRxs@typepad.com.

The Animal Planet's Rxs For Better Health!

                      Watch The Puppy Bowl! 

This Sunday will be the 48th Superbowl for most
of the World, and for those who don't give a hoot--
there's "The Puppy Bowl."

Yes, you know that annual cute-fest of puppies on
the Animal Planet channel.
If you are a fan and think you're only looking at
cute puppies, you're wrong. 
Wrong? 
That's right- looking at, playing with or caring for
puppies (or kittens) can do a number of things to boost
your health. Things like...
a) Boost Memory- 
Need to memorize something?
Look at a pet or two frolicking and then memorize your
school work or a project from work.
b) Control Pain- 
Again, looking at pets playing or getting involved
with the playing yourself, helps ease the pain you may be feeling.
Looking at pets playing helps take your mind off of the pain you may
be going through.
c) Lower Anxiety Levels-
Just like helping to ease aches and pain, people who work,
play or walk animals report lower anxiety levels.
Again, animals help take your mind off of your problems.
d) Heart Health-
Cut heart attack risk by 35% by having a pet around. 
Dogs help lower stress levels and if you walk them
a few times a week, that also keeps your heart in 
tip-top shape.
e) Kids and Allergies-
Concerned about kids and allergies?
You may want to think about getting a pet.
Early exposure to pet dander helps prevent
the immune system from overreacting to the potential 
allergens later on down the road.

That's it- 5 tips on why you must get involved
with pets. And one thing--a lot of the pets you'll see
on "The Puppy Bowl" are up for adoption. 

Good Luck!

The Chew's Rx To Feel Great All Winter!

                  Eat This To Beat Winter Blues!

Are you a fan of the ABC cooking show- "The Chew?"
Well, if you are a fan, you're not alone.
A lot of people love this show, and one of the reasons for
its success: The hyperactive, talkative, dance queen known
as Carla Hall.

If you are a fan, then you know that Ms. Hall loves
oatmeal.
Yes, not that unusual, but if you're suffering from
the dark and dreary days of Winter, then you too, 
may want to become like Carla and eat oatmeal 3, 5 
or even 7 days a week.

Why?
Oatmeal is loaded with tryptophan, which boosts moods, and
it's low in protein, and that helps you feel more relaxed and
calm. And if you need help sleeping, have a bowl of
oatmeal an hour or 90 mins. before bed.

That's it- a bowl of oatmeal to boost moods.
One more thing--make it a good quality oatmeal.
No instant or quick oats. Look for slow-cooked
or steel-cut oatmeal.

Good Luck!

Award Show Makeup Tips!

                 Apply Makeup Like A Pro! 

There seems to be an award show every week this time of year. 
If you're a fan of the "Golden Globes" or "The Oscars" then you
must be happy right about now. Happy seeing the gowns,
the hairstyles and the perfectly made up stars.

If you love makeup and want to know some secrets on how
you too can do your makeup to look like your favorite stars,
you're in luck. Look below, and learn some insider secrets
from a top Hollywood stylist.
a) Flawless Skin-
Apply your foundation in downward strokes.
Always apply foundation in downward strokes at a
45 degree angle. Why? The downward motion puts less on
your skin than upward strokes. Doing this helps you achieve
a more natural finish because you're gliding the makeup over
your pores instead of pushing the foundation into them.
Another tip: Applying moisturizer? That's when you want to
use upward strokes to push the cream into your skin.
b) Amazing Looking Eyes-
Raise your brows and tilt your head back. 
Don't you hate when your eye shadow creases?
Having trouble making a straight eyeliner line?
If you gently raise your eyebrows and slightly tilt
your head back, the skin on your lids smooths out.
Sweeping shadow over that flat surface keeps
color from creasing, and it's easier to draw a straight line. 
Another tip: Keep your head tilted back when you apply
mascara, why? With your head back, you can place the wand
closer to the lash roots for a thicker look.
c) No More Undereye Circles-
Look down to apply some concealer.
When you look straight into a mirror, you only see
the dark area directly under your eyes. But the darkness
actually extends up toward your nose and out toward
your temples. And by slightly tilting your head down, you'll 
see--and conceal---all the dark spots under your eyes.

That's it- 3 tips to help you apply makeup like a pro.
And if you want more tips like how to apply makeup
to look wrinkle-free or how to get a gorgeous smile,
head to Amazon.com/the kindle store and type
Hollywood Beauty Rxs in the search bar.
Once you download it, learn more tips on how to

The Dallas Buyer's Club Rx To Winning Money!

                  Make Money Like Mrs. McConaughey!

The movie "The Dallas Buyer's Club" seems to be the
front runner at this year's Oscar race.
It also seems the 2 stars--Matthew McConaughey and
Jared Leto are shoo-ins to win Oscars.
But enough about Matthew and Jared, this post is really
about Mrs. McConaughey, aka Camila Alves.

She's a Brazilian beauty, wife, mom, handbag designer
and Scratch-off aficionado.
What's that... exactly what it says, Ms. Alves, while co-hosting 
the T.V. show--"The View" revealed to the panel, that she's 
loves buying Scratch-off tickets.

In fact, she co-hosted the show on Whoopi Goldberg's birthday
and gave Whoopi and the rest of the panel a few scratch-offs.
And then, Whoopi revealed that she too, loves playing scratch-off
tickets.

What's the point of this blog post?
Well, according to some lottery experts, playing scratch-offs
may be a better option for you. Better than the Powerball
or Mega-Millions games.

Why?
Lottery games like Mega Millions requires you to pick
5 numbers that go from 1 to 75 and 1 bottom number
that goes up to 15. But scratch-offs, have winners
most of the time.
And to increase your odds, experts say buy scratch-offs 
from the same row, no 1 scratch- off here, or 2 scratch- offs
there. Buying 5, 8 or even 10 tickets from the same game,
increases your odds of winning considerably.

And if you want more info on ways to increase your
scratch-off luck, head to Amazon.com. the kindle store
and look for a book by the author Richard Lustig.
And if you want to know how to change your negative
attitudes and invite more financial luck into your life,
look for the E-document, Mind Over Money,
Use the Power of Your Mind To Boost Your Finances!

That's it- and remember to watch the Oscars, and see if
Matthew and Jared win their own lotteries (i.e. an Oscar).

Good Luck!

a real cracker. 
If you want to be like Jane, and snack on that same cracker,

favorable opinion of you and that may help make you get 
luckier.

Ever buy a car and then notice that a lot of people are
driving the same car? Well, it's the same with luck.

a region in your brain, the part of the brain that brings to your
attention more of whatever you've decided to focus on.
Once something good happens to you, your mindset changes

This week will be Jay Leno's last time as host of "The Tonight Show!"
Starting the 3rd wk. of Feb. Jimmy Fallon will be the host.

Why sleep?

Jay Leno, (like actress Olivia Munn) is notorious for sleeping only

get your 7 to 8 hrs. and feel and look like a million bucks.

Need help financially?
Concerned about college costs? Or your
retirement funds? Well, learn how a negative

Hollywood's Winter Rxs For Getting In Shape!

                 The Best Winter Sports For A Better Body! 

Yes, it's cold in most parts of the U.S. But that doesn't mean you
should give in to high-fat and heavy laden carbs and sweets. 
Nor does it mean you should abandon your fitness program
and wait until March to get back into shape. 
No- you're going to do what a number of stars do, what is it? 
They ski, snowboard and sled.

This is the sport you want to do if a tight tush is on your agenda,

require you to really work that backside.
Plus, walking the board up the hill after each run, helps tone up
your legs.
b) Skiing-
Head to Aspen if you can and really watch your thighs slim down.
A favorite sport among many men and women of Hollywood,
and for good reason, skiing is King or (Queen) of sports when it
comes to developing leg muscles.
Maintaining control requires all of the legs muscles (quads, thighs
and hamstrings) to work to keep you upright and that hard works
pays off in the long run.
So, if flabby and jiggly thighs aren't something you want, then
you must hit the ski slopes. 
c) Throwing Snowballs- 
Hey, it's low cost and doesn't require equipment and if flabby bat wings
are a major concern, then head out your door and start throwing.
Throwing snowballs or rocks get your biceps and triceps involved,
and the throwing keeps arms muscular and firm. One tip: don't throw
snowballs at cars.

how they benefit the body, head to Amazon.com/the kindle store

Winter Weight Gain. After you download it, you can find the answers

Cougar Town's Rxs Just For Women!

                                 Lower Breast Cancer Rates! 

The hit show-"Cougar Town" will be starting its 5th season on TBS. 
It stars Courtney Cox as a divorced mom, in her forties,
looking to find out what the next few chapters of her life will bring.
Ms. Cox became famous thanks to the hit show "Friends"
and according to reliable sources, Ms. Cox really took the title
of her old show seriously.
How so? She and Jennifer Aniston became and to this day remain
good friends.

good BFFs (best friends for life) will help women lower their
risk of getting breast cancer by 25%.
Spending time with best friends through good times
(marriage to David Arquette) and bad times (divorce from
David Arquette) reduces your body's production of the stress
hormone cortisol. And the lower your cortisol levels, the stronger 
your immune system becomes. 

Some more ways to lower Bre. Cancer risks: 
* Take an aspirin or Ibuprofen a few times a week.
talk to your doctor before doing this. 
* Eat More Fat- As in extra virgin olive oil.
* Drink Up- As in a glass of tangerine juice.
Yes, tangerine (not Orange) juice.
* Eat More Mushrooms-
White button, crimini, or shiitakes.

Award Shows Rx For Making Money!

With the movie award season in full swing, that means a lot of gowns
and dresses will be on display.
But what happens to those gowns and dresses after all of the award
shows are over and done with?
Back to the designers, who'll most likely store them in closets for
years and years.
If you're like a top designer and have closets and drawers full of old
clothes, don't let the clothes just sit there, start earning some money from
them.

How?
By going online to 2 sites, that'll send you a prepaid box or envelope
to send in your old jeans, ball gowns, blazers and skirts.
And once they receive your stuff, they'll assess it and then cut you
a check for the amount they think your stuff is worth.
The 2 sites:
a) LikeTwice.com 
b) Tradesy.com.
Tradesy will give you about 90% of the profits.
So, don't be like a Hollywood designer and let the stuff sit for years
and years, make a little vacation money, or house payment money, 
or car payment money or...you get the idea.

Hollywood's Green Rx For Babies!

                    Make Your Own Baby Wipes! 

Stars like Jessica Alba and Tori Spelling are concerned
about the health and well being of their kids and your kids as well.
How concerned?
Ms. Alba has started her own company called "Honest" a company
devoted to using only natural ingredients in their products.

One product that Ms. Alba may want to look into developing 
is "Baby Wipes!"  Why Baby wipes?
A  number of Moms say they (the wipes) are giving their babies
rashes. 
If you're a Mom (or Dad) and you use Baby wipes, you may want 
to try the all-natural and safer alternative.

What is it? 
Get out a clean bottle with a screw-on top, add 1/4 cup of
baby oil and 1 cup of gentle soap. Put the top on and shake 
for a few seconds. And when you need to wipe down
their bottoms or clean their mouths,  grab a paper towel and

Sicily and Tuscany. What type of cheese is it? Pecorino.

made with sheep's milk.

taste better, it also helps keep bones strong. h) Dark Chocolate- 
Is there no end to the incredible benefits one can get from this
incredible food? Buy (real) dark chocolate or buy a top quality

The View's Rx For Happier Families!

                 Eat This To Boost Happiness! 

On this morning's edition of "Good Morning America" host Robin
Roberts interviewed "The View's" cohost--Sherri Shepard.
Ms. Shepard was promoting her new book-- "Plan D, How to lose
weight and beat Diabetes." 
In the book, Ms. Shepard tells you how she lost 40 lbs. and
keeps her diabetes under control using good natural foods
and Exercise.

One of the tips Sherri gave Robin wasn't just a great diet tip, 
it was a tip that can also bring more peace and harmony to the
Kitchen table. 
The tip:
Serve natural peanut butter, milk, eggs, tofu, bananas, chicken,
turkey and cheese at breakfast.
Why?
These foods are rich in Tryptophan, (a familiar word to most, during 
Thanksgiving) and the more tryptophan coursing through one's
system, helps speed up the release of brain chemicals that increase
feelings of trust and cooperation. 

So, if you're morning meals are plagued with bickering and
constant name calling, then it's time to bring in the Tryptophan-rich
foods.

Good Luck!

Mean Girl's Rx For Beautiful Skin!

                                 Vegetable Rx For Great Skin! 

It seems that staying out of trouble has been working for Lindsay
Lohan. She hasn't been arrested for almost one whole year.
If you're really a fan of Ms. Lohan's, then you may remember
the cute girl with all of those freckles.
And that's the subject we'll be talking about today,
what subject? The Freckles!

Ms. Lohan may have had some kind of laser surgery,
or she may be taking special pills or she may be using a mask.
A mask? 
That's right- a mask made up of foods that come from the Supermarket.
And if you too, have freckles or age spots and don't want to go under
the knife or laser gun, use the following "food" mask. 
Ingredients: 
1 cup of chopped parsley (fresh) *
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tbsp. of Greek Yogurt (plain)
Directions:
Mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl, 
take a comfortable chair (preferably one that reclines)
and place the facial mask on your freckles or
age spots. Make sure to place some on the back of your hands
as well.
Leave on for 10 to 15 mins and then wash your face, neck
and the back of your hands with warm water.
It's best to do this on the weekend or whenever you have time
off, as some redness may occur. 
* A fun fact concerning the parsley. Frank Sinatra, (Ole Blue Eyes)
was a Parsley lover. How much did he love parsley? 
It's rumored, he had his staff cut up some parsley, add some
chopped garlic and a little olive oil and leave it on the counter/
Friends and family said Mr. Sinatra ate this combo a few times
a week.

So, if you're like the former Lindsay and have freckles or if you
have some age spots that you want removed, then it's time to
head to your  local grocery store.
And if you want more tips on how to correct skin problems
or enhance your beauty naturally, look for a new book called...
Cooking Your Way Gorgeous, by Vincent Borba.

One thing you may not want to watch and especially avoid is the
commercial starring Tine Fey.
Why?
It's a hair care product from Garnier Nutrisse and it's called
"Nourishing Color Creme."
And why should you avoid it?
Because it's expensive and you can do-it-yourself for much less.

Consider it a "smoothie" for your hair, and with the brutal temperatures
in a lot of states, this "smoothie" can leave your hair luxurious and

the oil,  mix until you get a creamy paste.
Sit in the tub or in an area that you won't mind getting dirty.
Dampen your hair, and place the avocado mask on your hair.
Comb the mixture through your hair, leave on for 20 minutes,
and finish up by shampooing and conditioning.

Use this treatment once a week and you'll have hair
that'll rival any movie stars.'

1 More tip for great Winter hair--

style your hair any way you want, waves, braids or a ponytail.

That's it--A hair care tip for this brutal and harsh Winter/

The View's Food Rxs For Better Health!

                        Eat This For Better Health! 

Hey, did you catch this morning's episode of "The View?"
It was all food related.
First up was chef Emeril Lagasse.

Emeril made a few different types of soups
and the butternut soup he made didn't go over too well with
Barbara Walters. Why? She said it had too much salt in it.
If this happens to you, add some salt and forget and then add
more, place a clean, peeled potato into the pot.
Allow the soup to cook, and then spoon out the potato and toss it.
The potato absorbs the salt and makes the soup edible.
Sticking to soups...Sheri Shepard revealed that Jenny McCarthy eats
soup every morning.

If you're a regular reader of this blog or our other blog, then you may have
read how a bowl of soup before a big meal can help slash your appetite.
A vegetable, broth based soup will expand in your stomach, filling you up
and making it difficult to pig out on eggs, hash browns and bagels or
on burgers and a big order of fries.
So, if you're struggling with weight and want to do something about it this
yr. try the Jenny McCarthy remedy... A bowl of soup before a meal.

Now on to Sheri. Ms. Shepard had chef Rocco Dispirito on as her special 
guest, he helped Sheri and her husband (Sal) lose a combined 55 pounds.
How? Rocco takes favorite American comfort foods and gives them a
makeover, a makeover with less fat and calories.
Head to Amazon.com.the kindle store and type in Rocco Dispirito in 
the search bar if you want to remake some of your favorite comfort foods
like Sheri and Sal.

And lastly, All of the hosts were present when they brought out a man who
wrote on a book on juicing. More specifically: Stars and their favorite
juices. One in particular was a favorite of actress Michelle Williams.
The juice: Some kale, a green apple or two and some Swiss Chard.
Swiss chard looks like a green that also has some red in it.
And one reason we should all be eating or drinking Swiss Chard (especially
women) it helps us build and maintain strong bones.
Let's face, aging is inevitable, but bone loss, fractured hips, wrists
and easily breakable bones are a major concern.
So, if you or a loved one wants to maintain strong bones, take the
advice of the guest on this morning's "The View" and start adding
more Swiss Chard to your diet.

That's it- Some food tips from the ladies from "The View!"

Hollywood's Rx For Removing Lipstick!

                         An Easier Way To Remove Lipstick! 

Have trouble removing your lipstick?
Not anymore...According to a modeling makeup artist, removing deep
plum or dark red lipstick can be a big problem for a lot of women.

Her solution: Apply a coat of petroleum jelly (Vaseline) to your
lips, let it alone for a few minutes and then gently remove the
P.J. and lipstick with a tissue or napkin. The vaseline loosens
up the pigments in the lipstick, and this makes it a lot easier to remove
it. Another benefit- The Vaseline makes your lips kissably softer.

That's it- Another benefit of Tyra Bank's favorite go-to facial moisturizer.

Good Luck!

CSI Miami's Rx For Snacking!

                        Eat Like Eva!

Were you a fan of CSI Miami? Well, it's been off the air for a few yrs. 
now, but you can still see it in reruns.
One of the stars- Eva LaRue, decided that the extra 20 pounds she was
carrying had to go. The diet she chose: The "Paleo" diet, also known as
The "Caveman or Cavewomen" diet.

Ms. LaRue did lose weight and gained a few more unexpected benefits
like...tighter and more youthful skin, more energy, better eyesight,
a flatter stomach and thicker and shinier hair.
But wait, Ms. LaRue was so impressed with the diet, she put her
8 yr. daughter on it (a modified plan), and then, her 70 something yr. 
old mother-in-law took up the diet.

As anyone who's ever followed a diet knows, snacking can be
the undoing of good eating and exercises plans, but Ms. LaRue has
found a way to combat the snacking. 
What is it?
She brings a few sticks of Beef Jerky with her, whenever she has to
travel or when she plans on doing a long movie or T.V. shoot.
You may think this is the type of food that would best serve The "Duck
Dynasty" crew or "Larry The Cable Guy!" 
But it's not, it's a food that Ms. LaRue will continue to indulge in.

So, if you need an idea for snack, or you want something that'll 
boost your energy--look for Beef Jerky.
And for natural beef jerky, the type that Ms. LaRue eats can be
bought online, head to WODshop.com and buy a few ounces of the
grass-fed beef jerky.
Eating a piece of beef or fish or a boiled egg will fill you with
hunger-suppressing protein and boost your metabolism. 
And one more tip-- if you suffer from elevated blood pressure, you may
have to avoid this tip. Beef Jerky is loaded with salt.

MTV's Rx For Your New Year's Resolution!

                               Eat This--Quit Smoking!

Do you remember the 2 stars who opened at last year's MTV awards? 
If you said Miley Cyrus and Robin Thicke, give yourself a hand...for your 
great memory. 
And since both stars opened the MTV awards, we decided to dedicate this
post to them and their bad habit.
What is it, you ask?
They both smoke. Yes, we know, both rely on their voices to make millions,
and yet, they continue to do it.

Well, if you're also like Miley and Robin and have quitting smoking as
your New Yr's resolution, you may want to try the trick that a top medical 
journal says may really work and an actress from "Friends" has used).
What is it?
Eat more salads.

That's right- longtime smoker Jennifer Aniston is rumored to have eaten a salad
every day while she did "Friends" and it may be the answer-you, Robin and Miley 
need. 
Why salads?
Smokers who eat the most salads with fruits and vegetables are 3 times more likely
to quit than those who eat burgers, fries, and gas station pastries.
Why?
Produce makes cigarettes taste much worse.

Also helpful: Milk is said to make cigarettes taste nasty as well, but a lot
of people avoid it due to it being a dairy food.
So, there you have it, a salad not just for a thinner waistline and younger
looking skin, it can also help you end your addiction to nicotine.
And lastly, for those who aren't into salads, go online to Quitnet.com,
and join up to get some tips on how to quit for good.

Good Luck, (Especially to Miley and Robin)

Kathy Griffin's Rx For Storing Christmas Ornaments!

                          Put Away Your Ornaments! 

Kathy Griffin, just spent New Year's Eve with Anderson Cooper.
And today: It's time to put away the Christmas tree and ornaments.
We're not sure if Ms. Griffin has a tree or if she puts it up herself.
One thing we do know, that putting away the ornaments
this way is something Kathy may do as well.

How would she put the ornaments away?
She'd placed them in cardboard wine boxes. 
Why wine boxes?
Kathy jokes that her 91 yr. old Mom drinks boxed wine 
everyday.

And if you have some wine boxes lying around and you don't
have the original boxes, then by all means- store your ornaments
this way.
The wine boxes have dividers, which make them perfect for protecting
your precious and delicate ornaments.

And if you're not a fan of boxed wine, head to your local wine
or liquor store anyway, they may have some empty boxes leftover. 
When you get the boxes home- clean them, let them dry and then fold or cut
the cardboard dividers as needed, and place 2 or 3 tissue-wrapped
ornaments in each slot, making sure the heavier ornaments
are on the bottom and the lighter ones on top.

That's it- A post Christmas tip that may or may not be from Kathy
Griffin. 

Good Luck!

Kevin Hart's Rx For Storing Your Christmas Tree!

                          Put Away Your Christmas Tree This Way! 

Kevin Hart, the red hot comedian was a recent guest on "The Tonight
Show." The host Jay Leno asked about Christmas and how he prepares
for it. His reply: "My kids and I put up a fake tree."
After taking some ribbing from Jay Leno, Mr. Hart explained that
as child his family only had fake trees and as an adult, he doesn't like
the needles falling and the risk of a fire.

If you're like Mr. Hart and use a fake tree, put it away this way. 
What way is that? Use an oversized Duffel bag.
If you still have the box, use it, but if the box is in bad shape,
splurge on a duffel bag.

And if you have a fake wreath or two- store them this way...
Do not store it in a box, as it can easily bend and become damaged.
From this point on, you should hang it up.
Slip the hoop over the neck of a coat hanger, then store upright
in a closet so it keeps its shape perfectly.
Block it from all of the dust in your home by covering it with a
plastic garbage bag. Just make sure to poke a hole in the bottom of
the bag and slide it over the hanger.

That's it- and if you need something to do in the next few days,
why not take in a movie, a movie like "Grudge Match!"

Good Luck!
