Newly Married Star's Rx For A Longer Life!

                         Eat This To Live Longer! 

The actress Cameron Diaz surprised a lot of people by getting married.
Why the surprise? It's something she said she'd never do and it was to someone
she's known for less than 7 months.
But that's beside the point, something else Ms. Diaz is doing and doesn't hide from
 anyone is her plan to live for a long long time. 
And one of the ways she's doing it, is with a breakfast favorite. 
What is it? Oatmeal!

That's right, that stuff you may have loved or hated way back when is one of the
foods Ms. Diaz is consuming in hopes of making it to 100 yrs. of age. 
Why oatmeal? 
Well, it has gotten a bad rap thanks to the anti-gluten police, but Ms. Diaz
knows better and won't listen to anyone badmouthing one of her favorite foods.
Oatmeal along with dates, mushrooms and barley contain a type 
of "super fiber" that can bolster your health in a number of ways like...
a) Help You Stay Diabetes-Free
b) Shield You From Certain Cancers
c) Protect Arteries and Help You Avoid Strokes and Heart Attacks
d) Knock-out Viruses, to keep you cold and flu-free.
So see, Ms. Diaz  knows how to keep herself healthy for yrs. to come.

And if you need proof that it works, look for an E-book, titled The 101 best ways to make 
it to 100, available online at Amazon.com- in the kindle store, download
it and read the chapter on The Victorian Era. 
They were Brits who ate these types of foods in the late 1800's and lived
well past the 30 to 50 yrs. which was the life expectancy back then.
(There's also more on how Ms. Diaz plans on making it to 100).

And lastly, if you take after Ms. Diaz and start eating more oatmeal,
make sure it's the top quality type, (Steel Cut) and not the instant
oatmeal and be creative with it.
In other words, have your oatmeal with baked or stir-fried vegetables
just like Cameron Diaz and not only with brown sugar, cinnamon or honey. 

That's it and Enjoy that bowl of Oatmeal or Barley.

Good Luck!

A Hollywood Makeup Artist Rxs For Younger Eyes!

                          A Youth-Boost For Your Eyes! 

When most people are asked what part of their body
they want to look younger?
Hands, the neck, hair (as in original color) and the face usually
come out on top.
But what about the eyes?
Yes, they're part of the face and a lot of people want to erase a few years from their eyes,
and if this describes you, use the makeup tricks by top Hollywood
makeup artist--Jemma Kidd.

Her tips:
a) Dark Circles-
Undereye circles can certainly age you and if you want to get rid of them,
Dab a yellowish-green concealer over the dark circles to counteract
the bluish skin tone. Finish up with a light layer of foundation. 
A concealer to try: Physician's Formula Concealer Duo Yellow Light. Price--$7.00.
Another tip: A woman (a school teacher) was hoping to avoid a Winter cold
and was told to eat Kiwi, (not apples) 2 a day, for the vitamin C.
Long story short- she was able to avoid the usual 3 to 4 colds
she usually got and her undereye circles disappeared.
Yes, kiwi to remove dark circles.
b) Bags-
No, not handbags, but the bags that appear and make your eyes look puffy.
To fix them- Sprinkle bronzer into your regular concealer and apply it
over the puffy skin to make the bags go down. Next, lightly dab plain
concealer just beneath the swollen area to visually bring that area forward, blend.
c) Say Goodbye To Crow's Feet- 
No laughing matter if you have them and to get rid of them...
Tap a rich eye cream over the area before applying makeup.
Wait a few minutes for the cream to fully absorb, 
then lightly apply the concealer.
That's it- and if you enjoy these makeup tips, and want more tips
on making your eyes look more youthful, go to Amazon.com/the kindle store
and look for Jemma Kidd's book- Make-Up Secrets.
Or look for another E-book, Hollywood Beauty Rxs also available online at Amazon.com.

Hollywood's Leading Ladies Rx For Pregnancy!

                                   Pregnancy Over 40! 

There's an interesting story on MSN.com, what is it?
There are over 25 stars who've given birth after the age of 40.
Pick a top star right now, and it's highly likely she's had a baby or two.

Stars like...Halle Berry, Jennifer Lopez, Mariah Carey, Molly Ringwald,
Salma Hayek, Tina Fey, Gwen Stefani, Brooke Shields, Marsha Cross,
Kim  Basinger, Kelly Preston and Helen Hnnt.

Women have been warned for decades about giving birth after age 35,
(undersized babies,  premature deliveries, Down's syndrome, etc)
but these women (stars) weren't listening.
The article just tells you the stars, not how they were able to deliver such healthy babies.
Some say they (the stars) have access to top doctors, follow nutrient-dense  diets,
don't smoke, meditate and exercise regularly.
A fun fact: It's rumored that actress Gina Davis who was in her mid 40's
when she became pregnant, trained both her body and mind (like an Olympic athlete)
to deliver a healthy babyand you may be able to find that information. How?
Go to Google.com. and type Gina Davis Rxs For Giving Birth Later In Life.
There may be some helpful info there.

So, if you're nearing your middle 30's or early 40's and want to have another child
or your first child, just look at the above list for inspiration.
And one last bit of news: Women over 35 are also more likely to give birth
to twins. See Mariah Carey, Jennifer Lopez, Angelica Jolie, and Marsha Cross.
For more information on fertility treatments, preventing miscarriage, increasing your
odds for twins, easing morning sickness, etc. Head online to Scribd.com/

One last tip:
If you want to avoid the Winter mishaps that affect your looks, 
you know--things like...rough heels, sandpaper elbows, dry and brittle hair,
hat hair, flyaway hair, Eczema, Rosacea, hangnails, damaged cuticles,
and puffy eyes, do something about it, that something...
Head to Amazon.com/the kindle store and download, see title
below. 

Celebrity Rxs For Low-Cost Beauty Products!

                                Spend Less On Beauty Products! 

If you think most or all stars spend ginormous amounts of money to
hold onto or achieve their beauty, you're sadly mistaken.
Yes, some do spend hundreds on pricey creams and moisturizers,
and then there are those that spend thousands on cosmetic surgery.
Well, as one great man or woman (we're not sure) said--"Attaining beauty
shouldn't be expensive or painful."
And if those are the words you want to live by, then start following the examples
set by...
a) Tyra Banks-
We've covered this before, but here it is again, Ms. Banks uses Vaseline. 
Popular for decades in African-American homes, Ms. Banks has taken
up this tradition and still uses it today.
Use it as a hair gel, or a lip balm. put some on a scrape or bruise or use it
as a moisturizer for your face., legs and hands.
One tip: Some women have complained that it (Vaseline) makes them look
"too shiny" if that's the case- put on your regular moisturizer first, 
and then put a little vaseline on the eyes, upper lip and neck.
A fun fact: A woman appeared on the talk show "Sally Jessy Raphael" some yrs. back,
and said the reason she was wrinkle-free at 60...was Vaseline.
b) Ellen and Oprah-
Yes, you're reading it right,  and if you're wondering what could these
2 talk show titans have in common regarding beauty?
Well,  the answer would be avocados!
We're not sure if they eat them or even apply them to their skin or hair,
but we do know that both women have properties and on both of those 
properties are...lots of avocado trees.
And for less than $1.50 each,  your skin and hair can benefit greatly.
Eat them or mix them with other foods and you have the makings 
of a youth-boosting product that will give any expensive cream or surgery
a run for their money. And now that Winter is here, and you want to keep
your locks (hair) soft, thick and manageable, use an avocado hair mask. 
Mash some up with egg yolks or a bottle of flat beer, place on your hair, 
put on a shower cap and sit back and relax for 20 mins.
After that, rinse out and shampoo and condition your hair as you normally
would.
And if you're not a fan of using foods in your hair, that's okay,
eating some avocado a few times a week-will help boost moods,
lower cholesterol levels, (yea, no statins) and even help you
reduce that middle (belly fat) Or head to your local drugstore
and look for avocado shampoos and conditioners.
And one last tip-- Some stores are now selling avocados very cheaply.
Head to Aldi's or B.J.s or Costco and stock up. Peel them. place some
lemon juice on them and put them in the freezer.
Or you can send Ellen or Oprah an email,  or a tweet and ask if they'll
let you buy some very cheaply or take any extra avocados off their hands.
c) Deborah Norville-
Yes, the host of the T.V. show "Inside Edition" has been around for almost
3 decades now and will be 60 yrs. of age in less than 3 yrs.
And although Ms. Norville is pushing some type of cream by "The Doctor's"
(the T.V. show) Andrew Ordon, she was a big believer in eggs. 
More specifically-Egg whites. Eating egg whites is quite popular,
but did you know that spreading the whites on your eyes, upper lips, forehead,
and chin kept fine lines away. 
Well, the egg whites are popular for those concerned about fine lines,
but for the rest of the population concerned about loose and wrinkling skin,
then use the other part of the egg- the yolk.
The egg yolk is an inexpensive powerhouse for those concerned about the
parts of the body that really age quickly--the eyes, the neck and the hands.
And why do they age so quickly? Thinner skin and even fewer oil glands.
So, if you're a fan of eggs, remember- don't just eat them, wear them as well,
on your face and in your hair.
Want more on the power of eggs? Go to Amazon.com/the kindle store,
and type The Great Easter Egg Hunt in the search bar. Download it,
for the same price you pay for a pack of gum, you can find out how
eggs benefit your heart, eyes, skin, hair and brains.
The last tip: A women from India, prescribed an egg yolk on the face for
30 straight days for those suffering from out-of-control acne. 
This as well as limiting or (giving up for 30 days) white foods, (bread, rice
and pasta) sweets, (donuts, canolis, Oreos) processed foods, (Ramen 
noodles and boxed Taco mixes) and sugary beverages (Mountain Dew
and Red Bull). 
d) J Lo-
We've covered this subject before, but since she's all over the news,
here's her inexpensive beauty tip: Give up soda, (Coke, diet cokes and 
Mountain Dew) and eat more fish.
Jennifer follows Dr. Nicholas Perricone, the Yale School Dermatologist,
who says that if you want youthful skin, effortless weight loss
and lean and toned muscles, then you must eat fish.
And we're not talking the wild-caught salmon (at $9.99 a pound)
that Ms. Lopez eats, sardines and canned salmon benefit you (your skin)
just as well. And make sure to eat the fish with vegetables, fruits, 
nuts, seeds and plain yogurt. No Mac & Cheese or fries.
Another tip: Make sure to bake, broil, stir-fry (in a little oil)
or poach it, deep frying it will only cause more breakouts on your 
face, back and chest. Fried foods also raise your odds of having a stroke
and heart attack.
One last fun fact: There's a region in Spain where the women not only
eat sardines, they also wear them.
Yup, they say it works better than any pricey cream at keeping their
skin wrinkle-free. 
That's it, and due to our busy schedules, we're unable to get to
Cameron Diaz, or Christie Brinkley, Julia Robert's, Kim K.
Queen Latifah or Sophia Loren's beauty secrets, but you can
still get them, how? 

how? 

Head to Amazon.com/the kindle store and download,
see title to the right. And in addition to their secrets,
you'll also get a ton of beauty secrets to keep your hair,
skin, nails, and feet in tip-top shape during the harsh
and cold Winter months. Don't delay, get your gorgeous
on today.

Good Luck!

Beauty Queen's Rx For Maintaining Winter Beauty!

                          Treat Your Feet This Winter! 

This Sunday, the 25th of Jan. will mark another edition of  the "Miss Universe" 
pageant. It's a pageant for the most beautiful women around the World, and
most of the women who've entered the contest follow some type of diet, exercise
and beauty regime.
And if you too, follow some sort of beauty regime, make sure to give thanks to
creator or Queen, or architect of the at-home beauty treatment.
Who is it?
It's Cleopatra.

Yes, that Cleopatra, "the Queen of the Nile" was very concerned about
maintaining her youth and looking her best way back when.
And if you're concerned about the toll Winter takes on your skin 
and particularly your feet, use the same treatment used by
the Queen.

The treatment:  a milk and honey bath or a basin of milk and honey just
for your feet.
You see, feet especially in the Winter crack and peel and one way to
overcome and even avoid this is with some milk and honey.
This combo is great for the Winter because the lactic acid in milk
softens calloused skin and the honey locks in moisture.
To do an at-home spa treatment, just heat up some milk
2 or 3 cups. add some honey 2 Tbs. and pour into a basin
(large enough for your feet) Allow the milk to cool down,
place your feet in and sit back and relax for 15 to 20 mins.
After that, pat your feet dry and put on your favorite nail
polish.

This combo (milk and honey) also works on your whole body
(reportedly Cleopatras' favorite) but make sure to do it
only once a week, Why? Buying gallon sizes of milk (just to bathe in)
can get expensive.
And if that's the case, use the 99 cent alternative that Julia Roberts, 

another Queen, Latifah, and Oprah swear by, what is it?
Baking soda.
That's right, pouring some into  a basin or a bath also softens your skin.
That's it, another tip to help you maintain your beauty during the
cold, windy and shorter days of Winter.
And if you enjoyed this tip, and want more tips on how
celebrities like Trisha Yearwood, Ellen, Sophia Loren,
and Cameron Diaz stay fit, energized and youthful during
the Winter season, head to Amazon.com/the kindle store and
type, see title to the right in the search bar, download it

An Older Star's Rx For Kissable Lips!

                           Soften Your Lips This Winter! 

Jennifer Lopez, aka J Lo, is all over the place.
She's promoting her new movie- "The Boy Next Door" 
Ms. Lopez like a lot of older men in Hollywood have to keep 
themselves in tip-top shape if they plan on having long careers
and doing love scenes with co-stars who are 20 to 25 yrs. younger.
And by keeping in shape, we mean everything--hair, legs, stomach,
complexions and lips.

Lips?
Yes, if a star plans on being a leading man or woman well into 
their 50's and 60's, lips being in tip-top shape is a must.
And now that it's Winter, lips really take a beating. Why?
Fewer oil glands, which makes it impossible for them to
moisturize themselves.

So, if you want to be like Jennifer Lopez or Johnny Depp
and keep your lips in great shape, do the following...
a) Homemade Moisturizer-
Mix some sugar, (brown or natural) with a little oil,
(almond or olive) and a few drops of vanilla extract
in a bowl. Dampen your lips a little and gently rub this
mixture over your lips, wait a few minutes and then put a little olive oil
or vaseline on as moisturizer.
Or save some time and money, and place some toothpaste
or baking soda on your toothbrush and go over your lips
for 20 to 30 secs.
Or if you don't mind spending money (like J Lo)
go online to drugstore.com and look for a product 

called-Smith's Rosebud Salve. It contains oils that seal
in moisture and create a layer of protection between your lips
and outdoor temperatures and the dry indoor air.
That's it- another tip to help you look your best this Winter season.

And if you want more info on taking care of your hair, nails,
feet, nails and body this Winter season...

T.V. Host's Rx For Gluten-Free Snacking!

                             Snack Like This Fox Friend! 
Yo may love her or hate her, but you can't deny the fact she may have started
the "gluten-free" craze.
Who is it? Elisabeth Hasselbeck.

The former co-host on "The View" and now a co-host on "Fox and Friends"
was the first celebrity to sound the alarm about gluten and the dangers
it posed to the American diet and people.

You see, Ms. Hasselbeck was a contestant on the long running 
show- "Survivor" and actually felt better eating all of that rice.
And this was the total opposite of most of her competition, they
actually felt worse, run down and constantly tired.

MS. Hasselbeck says that not having wheat and grains made her feel
better and when she got back home, she decided to find out why.
Long story short, after a series of tests, she discovered she has Celiac
disease. A disease in which the small intestines are hypersensitive to gluten,
which leads to trouble digesting food.

And today, Ms. Hasselbeck gets a lot of credit for making a lot of us much more 
aware of this serious disease.
But don't feel too bad for Ms. Hasselbeck, she still eats well in spite of Celiac
disease.
 And one way she treats herself, is with a snack.
What type of snack?
A protein bar.
A gluten-free and sugar-free snack that has 20 grams of protein
per serving.
The snack bar: Think Thin High Protein Bars! price- $2.00 per bar.
Find them at supermarkets or GNC stores. 
These bars help boost metabolism and curb hunger for up to 4 hrs.

And lastly, if you want more info on Celiac disease-go to Google.com,
and type Celiac disease in the search bar.
And if you want more info on Elisabeth Hasselbeck, go to Google.com
and type in her name or her cookbooks in the search bar.

Hollywood's Rx For Juicing The Right Way!

                            Juice This, Not That! 

If your New Year's resolution was to juice more like some Hollywood
stars, make sure to juice properly.
Juice properly? What does that mean?

Make sure that if you add- kale, broccoli and other greens,
you steam or boil them first.
Steam or boil before juicing, say what?

That's right, a number of women (and some men) are going "petal to the metal" 
in regards to juicing and some are now complaining of weight gain. 
Weight gain from juicing? Yes.
And the reason for it is simple--you see too many raw veggies like broccoli,
cauliflower, kale and collard greens hinder the thyroid's ability to
absorb iodine, a nutrient needed to keep the metabolism working at
optimal levels. And without your metabolism working at top levels,
weight gain is sure to follow.

So, remember the tip about steaming and boiling (for a few mins. only)
the cruciferous vegetables, like broccoli, cauliflower, collard greens,
Brussels sprouts, cabbage and kale.
And one last tip, invest in iodine-rich seaweed (yes seaweed) it's a great food (juice)
addition, that'll also increase your iodine levels. 
Do this for a week or two and see if weight gain becomes automatic again
and energy levels increase. 
That's it, for now.

And one last thing, look for our next E-Document, Frozen Beauty,
it'll reveal over 100 ways to fight Winter beauty mishaps, like...
*dry and cracked nails
* brittle hair
* hat hair
* flyaway hair
*dry and scaly skin
* Rosecea 
* Eczema
* Itchy Underarms
Plus many more beauty problems.
Look for this on Thrus. the 22nd, online at Amazon.com/in the kindle store.
In the meantime, head to Amazon.com and pick up--The Naturally Thin Girl's 
Guide To Preventing Winter Weight Gain.

T.V. Host's Rx For Burning More Calories!

                         Cold Temperatures and Weight Loss! 

This is the last year you'll see David Letterman on the air as a regular
talk show host. He may do an appearance on "The View" Or "Jimmy Kimmel"
but come Sept. and it'll be the "Stephen Colbert" show.
Don't feel too bad for Mr. Letterman, he'll leave with 30 plus years of great memories
and hundreds of millions in his bank account. 

And if there's one thing we can say we learned from watching Mr. Letterman is
that he taught us something about weight loss.
Oh no, it's not his infamous "top ten list" it's that he loved to keep the theater
cold/
A cold theater? What's the lesson there?

Well, Mr. Letterman may have used this strategy to keep his guests, his audience
and himself awake and interested, but no so new research says that spending time
or even sleeping in a cold room can really boost your metabolism.

If you're a woman, you may know about "cold therapy" you know,
putting stockings in the freezer, hoping they'll last longer.
It's not a myth, there are a number of benefits that we can get from the cold,
benefits like...
* You won't age as quickly.
* Less wrinkles and tighter skin. (it's rumored macho movie star and grand dame
movie star- Paul Newman and Joan Crawford) dunked their faces in ice water
to look ten or more yrs younger.
* Batteries and Cigarettes- It's even rumored that batteries and cigarettes (a no-no)
last longer if you put them in the freezer first.
* A stronger Immune system- Why do think the people of Finland, Russia,
Denmark and Iceland are able to deal with unbearable Winters? Cold baths
and showers. That's right, in some of these countries, the people jump into a cold bath
or turn down the water in their shower. This builds up the
immune system, helping you fight off colds and other diseases.
* Stronger Fertility- Men who have slow-moving or damaged sperm
may be able to turn things around by taking cold baths or placing ice on their,
you know.
*Faster Recovery- It's also rumored that the Dallas Mavericks won the NBA
championship, thanks in part to getting cold treatments after each game.
And now, cold weather can help you keep your metabolism humming along 
like it did when you were when you were 15 or 18.
Sleeping in a 66 degree room for 30 days led to a 40% increase in the production
of and activity of brown fat, a healthy fat that burns calories instead of holding onto 
them. And sleeping in a warm room- shuts down brown fat.

So, if you need another weapon in your arsenal against fat, this
may be it. 
And for those who love 3 or more blankets, and the room hot, hot and hotter,
(Ladies) you may want to start eating and drinking ginger (ginger tea). 
Why? It's the one spice that works to really warm up your toes, fingers,
etc. Or you can have your thyroid tested, just to make sure everything is working properly.
Hey, it worked for David Letterman, of all the yrs. he's been on the air,
how many times have you ever seen him carrying extra weight?
And as for Jay Leno- well, that's another story.

Good Luck!

A Former Child Star's Rx For Looking Years Younger!

                                        The Low-Cost Way To Look Younger! 

In Hollywood, it's a Cardinal sin if you lose your looks and youthfulness.
And that's why you don't see many child stars make it to adult roles,
the casting agents still see the "chubby-cheeked" kids.

Well, one star who's fought this and come out on top is none other than Marie Osmond.
Although more of a teenage star, Ms. Osmond has been working non stop since
the age of 2.
And even though she's had some setbacks in her life, she refuses to let those
(things, tragedies and obstacles) keep her down.

And one of the things  is...Weight. Ms. Osmond decided at age 49 to do something
about her weight. What did she do? She joined Nutri-System.
And doing that has helped her uncover a whole new level of happiness and health
later in life.

But wait, you're probably thinking, diet alone can't help someone
who's 4 1/2 yrs. away from age 60 look that good.
Oh, yes it can, but there are 2 other things Ms. Osmond relies on
to look younger, and they are water and a $15 serum.

First up, the water. Ms. Osmond drinks between 6 to 9 glasses a day.
She says she drinks a lot of water to keep skin youthful and wrinkle-free
and to clear toxins out of her system, (lower stroke risk and heart attack risk
doing this) and she says if a craving strikes, she'll drink water. 
Sometimes you may be dehydrated and not hungry.
And some in the medical and alternative health field say- a few glasses
of water a day are enough, make sure to get water from cucumbers, watermelon, 
and cantaloupe.

And lastly, her other secret for looking younger--Bio-Oil. Look for it at
Target stores or online at Target.com. It's a moisturizer and Ms. Osmond
applies it to her face, torso, legs, feet, neck, hands, stomach, waist, everywhere-
especially after a shower or bath.

So, if you've been following the news of that other ageless wonder
Christie Brinkley, let's also give some respect and attention to Marie Osmond.

Make it To 100 in the search bar. Download it and learn what secrets

A hint: she drinks a glass of water, first thing in the morning.

Good Luck!

The Golden Globes Beverage Rx For Younger Skin!

                        The Drink For Healhier Skin!

If  you're a fan of award shows, then last night was like almost
like the Super Bowl for you. Not quite the Super Bowl, but close.
And the award show that was held last night was "the Golden Globes!"
The show was entertaining and fun, thanks mostly to hosts Tina Fey and
Amy Poehler.

But the real excitement began when the show was over.
When the show was over? Yes, the after-party.
And if was like most after-parties, then that means drinking.
And if your choice of adult beverages is a martini, or a gin and tonic
or a white wine spritzer, you may want change it.
Change it? To what? A Bloody Mary!

And why a Bloody Mary you ask?
Because you the drinker can also get smoother skin as a result.
That's right, we always hear how women (especially Hollywood
women) are concerned abotut wrinkles, well this is a great way to
celebrate (movies, awards, whatever) and look a few yrs. younger to boot.

According to researchers, tomato juice in Blood Mary's  contains
 Lycopene, a compound that gives red grapefruit, peppers, watermelon
and tomatoes, their red color
also guards against free radical damage as well as the
Sun's UV rays.
But there' s a catch, the catch--too much alcohol can do serious damage
to your skin, so have one drink with vodka and the rest wth T.J.
and club soda.
Doing this helps your liver and helps you get radiant looking skin.
Plus, you won't have to worry about the Paparazi taking embarrassing
photos of you falling down drunk. It' a win-win for everyone.

That's it and you want some great recipes for other
adult beverages, head to Amazon.com/the Kindle store
and type Adult Beverages From Around The World in
the search bar. Download it and learn the recipes for over
40 drinks.

Good Luck!

Hollywood's Rx For A Successful Valentine's Day!

                          Have A Very Merry Valentine's Day! 

A popular plot in a lot of Hollywood movies, is the..." fall in love, live happily ever after."
But, let's face it, it's a plot not many "regular" folks are familiar with.
Just look at Dr. Phil, Jerry, Maury Povich, Divorce Court, Paternity Test and
you can see--falling in love ans staying that way are extremely difficult.
Well, that may all change, how?
A woman has written an interesting article about love.
More specifically- getting someone to fall in love with you in a matter of hours.

Say what?
That's right, the article explains how taking someone you may be interested in,
sitting him or her down, so they're facing you, then have them answer a number of 
questions, (some very personal) and when not answering the questions-you gaze
lovingly into each other's eyes.
The female journalist claims this worked for her. She saw an old classmate,
then followed him on Instagram, ran into him and asked him-if he would be willing to
take the test.
Well, we won't give out the ending, you'll just have to find out for yourself.

How?
By going to Google.com, and when you get there, type-The New York Times
article written by Mandy Len Catron., in the search bar,When you see her name, just
click on the link that says To Fall In Love With Anyone Do This!
Although the title says "anyone" remember, you have to be familiar with the person
you're interested in. 
It won't work if you have a crush on Bradley Cooper or Mila Kunis.
Hey, who knows, you too, may have your very own version of "The Notebook!"

And one last thing, if you are in a good (great) sexual relationship
and you're a woman and you want to keep it that way, head to
Amazon.com/the kindle store.
Why?
There's an E-Document titled Natural Libido Boosters Just For Women.
Some ladies complain "there's no Viagra or libido boosters out there for us"
Well, that was then, today- you can find all types of natural libido boosters at your
pharmacies and/or  supermarkets, you just have to be motivated and want them.
That's it- With 4 weeks until Valentine's Day, there's still time.

Good Luck!

A Hollywood Couple's Baby Rx For New Hollywood Parents!

                More Benefits of Breastfeeding! 

Congrats to new Hollywood parents Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds.
They're the proud parents of a boy or a girl, (they haven't revealed the sex yet)
And if they're (or she) is on the fence about breastfeeding, they should take
advice from a Hollywood couple that has a one yr. old.

The couple with the one yr. old: Jason Sudeikis and Olivia Wilde.
You may remember the uproar Ms. Wilde caused when she was photographed
breastfeeding son Otis.
Well, Ms. Wilde says she'll continue to do it, and not worry about the negative
Nellies and the haters.
And if Blake and Ryan haven't decided on their choice of nourishing their little one,
they may want to follow Olivia and do the same.
 
Why?
New research says that breastfeeding may help kids in terms of weight management,
fewer allergies, normal blood pressure, avoid diabetes, stronger bones,
a better brain and the new discovery, it (B.F.) can cut your child's risk of developing asthma.
Babies who are just fed via the breasts during their first 4 months are 35% less
likely to develop asthma by their 8th birthday.

So, if you're a new mom or plan on giving birth in the not-to-distant future,
hold onto to this post.
And lastly, if you do breastfeed for 4 months or 1 yr. and then go off the rails, 
diet-wise, (white foods, fried foods, starchy foods, processed foods and sugary drinks)
it's highly likely your child will get more than asthma.

Good Luck!

Rap Mogul's Rx For Preventing Winter Weight Gain!

                       Read These Tweets Before You Eat! 

You're probably aware that a number of stars are on social media...
Facebook, Tumblr, and Twitter.
And although a number of them are on these sites, it doesn't mean
you should follow them.
That is, unless it's Alyssa Milano, LLCoolJ and Russell Simmons. 
Why these 3?
They actually have something to say, be it with inspirational quotes
or info that'll improve your life.

And if you weight loss is a goal this new year, researchers now say that 
inspirational quotes can help you achieve that goal.
That's right, repeating a few upbeat sayings before a meal can help you eat less, 
40% less. 

How does this work?
When you're content, your body produces less cortisol, the stress hormone that disrupts
blood sugar control and makes you feel hungrier. (Think of it as an easier method
of meditation)
But, reciting an inspirational quote or two, helps dial down those cortisol levels,
helping you feel less anxious and less hungry.
So, are you convinced? 
If so, you can go to the celebrity sites and sign up for their daily feeds
or you can go online to Daily-MotivationalQuote.com and sign up for
their newsletter. 

That's it, and remember to stay positive this year and avoid sites
like TMZ.com and RadarOnline.com, these sites only want to
spread negativity.
And lastly, if you're really concerned about weight gain and a daily 
quote won't do, head online to Amazon.com/the kindle store and
type The Naturally Thin Girl's Guide To Preventing Winter Weight Gain
in the search bar.
Download it and learn dozens of ways to stay slim and trim this year
and for years to come.

Good Luck!

Up and Coming Star's Rx For Better Health!

                    Drink Your Way To Better Health! 

If you're a regular here, then you may remember a post or two on 
the benefits on having an adult beverage a few times a week.
In fact, Bethenny Frankel (star of The Real Housewives of N. Y.)
has not only shown us how beneficial a drink a day is, she's gotten rich
in the process. (Thanks to her creation of the "Skinny Girl Drinks" line).

Well, fast forward to 2015, and we now have an up and coming star talking about 
her love of an adult beverage a few times a week.
The star: Maria Valverde. A native of Spain, she stars in the big budget film,
"Exodus" playing the wife of Moses.
We won't bore you with all of the benefits of having a glass of wine, or a shot 
or a beer each day, but here are a few...
* Stronger bones
* Stop hair from thinning
* Disease-proof your heart 
* Easier weight management, women who have a drink 5 to 7 days
  a wk. weigh less than women who don't drink.
* Sharpen your mind, alcohol prevents plaque from sticking to
  artery walls in and around the brain.
Plus, many more benefits.

Ms. Valverde loves a drink called The Hyde Park Swizzle,
(it consists of muddled mint leaves, lime juice, simple syrup, bitters 
and gin. But her all-time favorite drink is Champagne, which she only has
occasionally; due to the price.
So, if you were reluctant to have a drink, due to calories, the gluten (malt)
or fear of going overboard, remember the above tips and up and coming star
Maria Valverde.

And to get you started on benifitting from a drink a day, 
here's a recipe for a Pomegranate Margarita!
The recipe:
Rub the rim of 2 margarita glasses with a lime wedge.
And if you like, swirl some salt around the rims as well.
Then, in an ice-filled shaker, mix 2 oz. tequila, 1 oz.
orange liqueur and 1/3 unsweetened pomegranate juice.
Shake well for 10 to 20 secs. strain into the
margarita glasses and top with a wee bit of club soda.
And for a more decorative look, top with some pomegranate
seeds or a maraschino cherry and a lime slice over the edge. 
That's it, and if you would like more recipes like these,
head to Amazon.com/the kindle store and type the
see title to the rightinto the search bar, download it.
 And in the privacy of your own home, you can make some or all 

of the 40 drinks listed.

Good Luck!
