Oscar Winner's Rx For Getting Back On Track!

                            Juice Your Way Back! 

Another awards show has come and gone and for many stars that means
getting back on track.
The awards show: "The Oscars" and getting back on track as in
detoxing from the goat cheese pizza and the endless supply of champagne.

And one Oscar winner who's taking this advice to heart is Reese Witherspoon.
Yes, you're right, Ms. Witherspoon didn't win the Oscar this yr. but she did
win it a few yrs. back for playing June Carter Cash.
And if you're like Ms. Witherspoon and want to have a juice (or two) a day,
go for it.
Ms. Witherspoon is a fan of green juices and although we aren't sure what type 

of green juices she enjoys, we'll give you the recipes for 2  and you can decide 
for yourself, which is best.

* Juice Recipe No. 1- 

Combine a few spinach leaves with 1/2 cup of berries (black, blue or rasp)
1 cup of coconut water, a few almonds and 1/2 banana.
Place all ingredients into a blender or juicer and blend until smooth.
Makes 1 serving.
* Juice Recipe No. 2-
Combine a few kale leaves with unsweetened almond milk (1/2 cup)
1 pear and  a tsp. of flaxseeds. Pour into a blender or juicer and
blend until creamy and smooth. 

That's it- 2 juice recipes to get you back on track like Ms. Witherspoon
and ready for that bikini by June.

And one last tip, due to time constraints we aren't able to tell you 
about the benefits of flaxseeds, or spinach or kale when you add it to 
your smoothie, but if you want to know about the benefits of
whey-protein, pistachios, chia seeds, almond or coconut milk, 

green tea, coffee, and tofu to your waistline, head to Amazon.com/the kindle store
and type The Smoothies, Shakes, Coffee and Tea Rxs For A Flatter Belly 

in the search bar. For the price of 3 avocados, download it and get started on a trimmer and slimmer waistline.
See title to the right. 


Good Luck!

Post Oscar Makeup Rxs!

             Makeup Tips For Women Everywhere! 

If you watched the "Oscars" last night, you saw Hollywood stars looking their
best from head to toe.
And even though many of us, (regular folks) can't compete with the stars and
their trainers, nutritionists and stylists, we can compete with them in one
way. 

And what way is that, you ask?
We can get an instant glow like them. 


That's right, it doesn't take a team of hair and makeup people
to help our faces look fresh and youthful, all it take is a little time 

and a product that's available at most drugstores. 
The product: Luminizer. 
And if you want luminous skin for a party, dinner date or a night out with the 
girls, do the following...
a) Your Cheeks-
Tap a luminizer (gently) just on the tops of your cheeks.
And when the light hits your cheekbones, it will illuminate your
cheekbones, giving you a more uplifted look.
b) Brighter Skin- 

Something that's needed during this unending Winter season, 
and to brighten your skin- just add a few drops of luminizer to your
foundation. Doing this gives your whole face a youthful, dewy glow. 

c) Bring Out Your Eyes-
Dip your makeup brush into your luminizer, then sweep it onto your 

brow bones, dot it in the inner corners of your eyes and glide it underneath 
your lower lash line. This brings a radiant light around your eyes, which
also intensifies their color.
d) Angelina Jolie Lips-
Use a lip liner to outline the heart-shape bumps on your top lip and the
center curve on your bottom lip. And when these specific areas seem wider,
your lips will look fuller.
Hey, perhaps this is the trick Kylie Jenner is using.
* And for that Luminizer, Look for Couture Get Luminous Luminizer.
online at Sally Beauty or look for Essential Shimmering Facial Whip, online 

at EyesLipsFace.com

And if you want to overcome a host of beauty woes associated
with Winter, head online to Amazon.com/the kindle store and type 

Frozen, The Natural Remedies To Beat The Winter Beauty Blues
in the search bar.
beauty woes like...
dry hair
dry and scaly skin
Eczema
rough heels and elbows,
hat hair

Disney Rx For Picky Eaters!

                The Frozen Rx For Helping Kids! 

Are you dealing with a picky eater? You know, the type that rather
eat chicken nuggets instead of fruit. 

Well, believe it or not, Elsa can help. 
Elsa from the movie "Frozen?"

Yes, that Elsa, and the way she or Ariel can help...
The next time you want your little one to eat something 

healthy, ask her or him, what would Elsa or Woody (From 
"Toy Story") eat.
This simple question helps kids make better food choices.
And even when children say their fictional hero 

would pick a burger and fries, they're still more likely to
choose nutritious food for themselves.

Researchers think that asking this question of your little 

one interrupts their thinking, "resetting" their brain
so they're more likely to make a wise decision--and it works
for adults as well.

That's it, and if you're an adult and you're concerned about
the Frozen temperatures ruining your looks,
(you know, dry skin, rough elbows and heels, dry brittle hair) 

head to Amazon.com/the kindle store and type
Frozen- Natural Remedies To Overcome The Winter
Beauty Blues in the search bar. Download a copy and
prepare your face and body for the Spring.

Good Luck!

Beauty Solution For The Hand Cam!

                               Turn Back The Clock On Your Hands! 

If you're truly a fan of award shows, then you may know all about the "Hand Cam" 

what is it? It's a camera set up so stars can show off their bling on social 
media sites.
It's a little different than the usual non-stop chatter we get about
"what the stars are wearing."

And now that some red carpets have this feature, some stars don't want any part of 

it. Why you ask?
Unlike the face, the hands age more quickly and a few stars still want you to think 

they're forever 25.
One of those stars: Jennifer Aniston!

That's right, on a recent award show, Ms. Aniston was asked by interviewer
Maria Menonous if she would show her hands to the camera and Ms.
Aniston said NO. Not a little no, but a big emphatic No. 

Now, you may know that her costar Courtney Cox has had issues with 
her hands, so much so, she even asked Ellen D. for advice on what to do,
but Jennifer Aniston, we thought she'd never age.

Well, if  your hands are starting to look older than the rest of you
and you want to do something other than surgery (fat injections)
try out a new moisturizer.
The new moisturizer:
Crabtree & Evelyn Citron, Honey and Coriander
Ultra-Moisturizing Hand Therapy, price- $8.00
find it online at-Crabtree-Evelyn.com.
The moisturizer contains the herb Coriander and it (the herb)
thickens the skin by boosting collagen production.

That's it, and don't forget this Sunday is the Oscars.
Let's see if the "hand cam" is present on this red carpet.

Good Luck!

Hollywood's Rx For Leftover Valentine's Day Champagne!

                          Drink Up For Better Health! 

Another Valentine's day has come and gone, and if you celebrated like
some stars with champagne, make sure you don't let it go to waste.
Why?
Well, it's expensive, but just like red wine it can also boost your health 

and looks.
How so? Continue reading to find out.

a) Improve Memory!
Champagne is made with grapes and grapes are one of the best foods
to help improve both spatial and short term memory.
b) A Healthier Heart-
Yes, champagne can improve memory, and it can also boost heart
health, by keeping dangerous plaque from sticking to arteries near
the heart and brain. This also means you lower your risk for stroke and
blood clots.
c) It's Better For Your Waistline-
A glass of red or white wine comes in at about 120 calories,
champagne about 80.
d) Thicker Hair-
Use some of that champagne as a hair conditioner.
Allow it to sit at room temperature and then take it into 

the bathroom with you. After using your regular shampoo,
pour in the champagne and really work it into your scalp.
After a few minutes, wash it out using lukewarm water.

There you have it, putting those leftovers to use, just like
some of Hollywood's biggest stars would, (Jennifer Garner,
Sarah Michelle Gellar, and the 2 Jessicas--Simpson and Chastain).
And lastly, if you want to continue to reap some of the benefits of 

a glass of champagne but can't afford to do so- look for cheaper
varieties...Cava and Prosecco.

Good Luck!

Hollywood's Sweet Rx For A Longer Life!

         Live Longer!
You're probably aware that Valentine's Day is
Saturday and the stars in Hollywood are no different
than say folks in Salinas Kansas or Savannah Georgia.

How so?
They (Meaning couples) celebrate the same.
That's right, an exchange of cards, an exchange
of gifts, (men to women) a drink or two,
a nice dinner and hopefully ending in some chocolate.
Yes, that chocolate--the sweet confections that does
more than excite your tastebuds.

Chocolate like salt, eggs and Coffee is good for you
one year and then a few yrs. later, you should avoid it.
Well, there's no need to avoid it, thanks to
yrs. of research...an oz. or two of choc. (even milk choc.)
can  extend your life if that's a goal you want to
achieve (like Cameron Diaz).

Choc. contains more than 500 compounds that can help
you live an extra 3 to5 yrs.
But wait, there's more...
Choc. can also reduce heart disease risks by 35%,
slash stroke risk by 30% and help prevent middle-age spread.

So. If you were reluctant to eat choc. this Saturday
or any Saturday for that matter, put those fears aside
and have some Choc. and then watch "Gone With The
Wind" or "Love Actually" or "Valentine's Day"
or "Love Jones" or " From Here To Eternity"
you get the picture, have a great day (and night)
this Saturday.

Good Luck,

Hollywood Rxs For Decoding Dreams!

                                 Decodinging Your Dreams! 

Dreaming and understanding dreams is big business. It's rumored that by remembering
or even programming our dreams can help with a number of problems.
Problems like health, money, relationship or careers.

And according to one dream expert--dreaming that you're hanging out with
a celebrity or a group of celebrities may mean it's time for you to seek your
own "spotlight."
Celebrity worship is big right now thanks to TMZ, gossip sites, the E channel,
Twitter,  Facebook and other sites, news outlets and magazines, but hanging out
with a celebrity?
Yes, this dream expert says that your dreaming of hanging out with celebrities,
means you need to do something to stand out on your own.

And even more surprising... the dream expert says that women may have this
dream more than men. Why?
Some women feel the need to take a backseat or step away from the spotlight
to allow others to shine (kids, coworkers, spouses and boyfriends) and avoid being
front and center.

So, in closing- if you're having this particular dream, start  taking the initiative to
step more confidently into roles that are right for you and enhance your own ability
to be more successful.
And lastly, if you want more info on all types of dreams, visit Google.com 

and type Kelly Sullivan Walden into the search bar. She's the dream expert
who can explain the meaning of a flying dream (you flying like Superman)
or running away from something or someone.

Good Luck!

Hollywood's Post Party Weight Loss Tips!

          Lose The After Partying Weight!

Hollywood is in the midst of a partying frenzy.
The Golden Globes, the SAG awards, the Grammys,
and on and on. It usually ends by mid March,
but by then too much damage has been done.
What type of damage?
Weight gain.

And if you're a regular Jane and in the same boat,
use the following tips to prevent any more damage.
The tips:
a) Text Messaging-
No, you don' have to be a Kardashian to only use texts
to get ahead, use them to help speed up weight loss.
How? Just send yourself text messages about what you
ate and how much you exercised. Texting is fast and easy,
so that means you're more likely to stick with it.
b) Be like JLo-
No, it doesn't mean working out for hrs. each day,
It's means ditch the soda. JLo said that both regular and diet
soda were giving her acne, cravings and a bloated belly.
And she's right, artificial sweeteners increase your desire
for unhealthy and fattening foods.
Want some great tasting water that's also good for you?
Look for a brand called LaCroix, available at supermarkets.
c) Stand up-
Yes, something as simple as standing more during the day
can help you shed pounds. Sitting for hrs. at a time
causes stagnation that triggers changes in the body that
signal it to hold on to fat and reduce sensitivity .
So, every hr. or two, stand up and move around.
There you have 3 great tips to help you shed some
of that Chritmas, Super Bowl, Valentine's Day and post
award show weight. And if you like these tips and want
30 to 40 more, head to Amazon.com/the Kindle store
and type The Naturally Thin Girl's Guide To Preventing
Winter Weight Gain in the search bar. When you see an

Movie Snack Rx To Lose Weight!

                           Eat Popcorn To Lose Weight! 

If you're a regular movie goer or you love to stay home and watch movies,
just make sure you include the snack that'll help you lose weight.
What snack is that?
Popcorn!
Yes, you're reading it right, although it gets a bad rap as a
food that's fattening, it's simply not true.
Any food-from peanut butter to red meat can benefit
your health in some way and popcorn is no exception. 


How does it work?
It's a high fiber food that's slow to digest, which means by the time you're 

finished eating it, you'll be so satisfied, you won't reach for the twizzlers 
or raisinets. 
Plus, popcorn can also boost moods and keep you energized for hrs. 

So, if you've been eating carrots and celery with low-fat dip during movie
hour, stop it and have some popcorn. 

One more tip:
As mentioned earlier, peanut butter and lean red meat can be good for you,
but add white bread, a sugary drink and a dessert and they can quickly become
foods that'll add pounds and inches. 

And the same thing applies to popcorn,  add tons of
butter and a gallon- sized tub of soda and you won't lose any weight. 


Look for an air popper, at any discount store or go online (one available at Walmart)
and add a smidgen of butter or olive oil and spices like cayenne powder,
curry powder, turmeric, garlic and onion powder after you finish popping it.

Good Luck!

The much awaited movie "50 Shades of Grey is finally in theaters and
Valentine's day is a week away.
For some this will be a great time to enjoy some great food and 

great beverages. Adult beverages.

or shots of tequila, no- you want something that'll help you celebrate
the love that's Feb. 14.

Yes, you're reading it right, chocolate and alcohol combined.
Either one alone will boost health, but together...now you'll really
experience some incredible benefits.

What types of benefits?
a) More Passion-
Alcohol and dark chocolate enhance libido and sexual function.
How? By keeping arteries and veins free of plaque, allowing for better
blood flow, especially blood flow to sex organs.
b) Reduced Risk of Heart Disease-
The recent news of the increase in heart attacks for women has a lot of people 

scared and one good way to reduce those fears...eat or drink dark choc. (cocoa)
or have a drink (only 1) a day. See tip a, about clearing the plaque from veins and 

arteries.
c) Reduced Stroke Risk-
Another health issue more women should be thinking about.
Especially women under 40.
d) A Longer Life-
Due to the reduction in heart disease and stroke risks, both choc. 

and alcohol may help you live an extra 3, 5 or even 10 years.

Now on to the adult beverage.
The recipe:
On a plate, spread a thin layer of choc. sprinkles. Lightly coat rim of
a martini glass with choc. syrup; dip into sprinkles. Fill cocktail shaker
with ice cubes; add 1/4 cup choc. vodka, (find it at high end package stores)
1/4 cup half and half, 2 Tbs. Kahlua and 1 Tbs. choc. syrup. Cover--
shake vigorously for 20 to 30 secs. Strain into glass and for a visual effect,
place a gumdrop (red) or a strawberry on the end of a stirrer, and place it
across the drink or inside.
This is enough for 1 serving, for 2 or more servings, just follow the recipe again.

That's it, and if you need more health or (sex) tips, inspiration or recipes (for adult beverages)

Hit Movie's Rx For A Hot Valentine's Day!

                         50 Days of Hot Loving! 

It's almost here, so get ready.
What is it? 

The premiere of the much anticipated movie..."Fifty Shades of Grey!"
And if you're a fan and want to emulate some of the things
that go on in the book and now movie, you may want to start with food. 

Food?
Yes, but not just smearing it on each other. 

We're talking about eating and drinking your way to a life (a sex life)
that resemble the characters in the movie.
And what foods will help you achieve that kind of life (sex life)?
Look below and learn.
1) Cheese-
Yes, some may say, "I'm lactose intolerant, but some good quality cheese 

after a meal can help ease anxiety and tension.
Cheese contains magnesium and calcium, 2 minerals that help
calm you down and boost happiness levels.
Plus, it contains vit. D, which increases dopamine levels, and the more dopamine
in your system, the more attracted you'll be towards your partner.
2) Coffee-
Strong coffee delivers extra energizing mixtures of caffeine and antioxidants
that intensify feelings of arousal and passion. Recent research says that coffee
drinkers may have higher libidos.
And if you don't want coffee after 7 or 8 pm, have wine instead.
Wine, (especially for women) works like coffee in that it raises libido.
3) Chocolate-
No surprise here, it's a favorite food for millions and it not only boosts 

moods, new research says choc. lovers may have more sensitive skin.
As in sensitive to the touch. Chocolate may have a "viagra-like" effect ,
releasing nitric oxide, which rushes blood to key erogenous zones.
Important tip: Make sure the choc. you choose is top quality.
Look for 70 to 85% dark chocolate.
4) Oysters-
Some think it's a myth, but not to the people of France.
For decades, the French have used oysters to boost moods and passion levels. 

Oysters are full of zinc, a key mineral that boost testosterone in both men 
and women.
And if you're not a fan of oysters, add more fruit to your diet.
Not sure what types of fruit to add to your daily menus?
Head online to Amazon.com/the kindle store and type Natural
Libido Boosters For Women in the search bar. Download a
copy and become the star of your own movie.
In addition to the fruits you should be eating, you'll also learn
how to boost libido with some products that are available at your local drugstore.

Good Luck!

Late Night Host's Rx For A Healthy Comfort Food!

                                      Eat Pizza and Boost Your Health! 

Late nite host Jimmy Kimmel doesn't bother to hide his love of 

pizza. Unlike a lot of stars who say they eat gluten--free or strictly
fruits or vegetables or drink only smoothies, Mr. Kimmel says
he'll eat pizza when he's 80, 90 or older.

And if you think Mr. Kimmel is doing himself harm by
eating so much pizza, you're wrong.
That's right, if it (pizza) is made with top notch ingredients,
along with a healthy crust, 
it can actually improve your health.

Improve your health? Come on.
Well, let's start with the sauce--
*Tomatoes contain lycopene, a compound that makes
tomatoes red can reverse skin aging.
Yes, you're reading it right, skin aging due to time spent
in the sun can be reversed and even prevented by eating more
tomatoes. Consider it "natural sunscreen." 

*Cheese-
Don't overload your pie with a lot of mozzarella and you can boost moods. Cheese contains trytophan and tyrosine,
which are amino acids that your body uses to produce calming serotonin and mood-boosting dopamine.
*Olives-
Do you like whole olives or olive oil? Well, whether you prefer
one or  both, you're helping your brain prevent the very real
problem known as Alzheimer's.
That's right, dementia and diminished capacity can be prevented
or slowed down with olives. Both olives and the oils contain healthy fats
that block toxic proteins that can cause memory loss.
* Mushrooms-
We're not sure if Mr. Kimmel likes pepperoni or mushrooms,
but if he does like mushrooms, they'll help lower his odds of
getting certain cancers. Mushrooms (like broccoli) suppress
excess estrogen (the female hormone) that causes cancer to begin
and then spread.
That's it, and if you want to know how green peppers, herbs like oregano,
onions, garlic, cheddar cheese, and salmon on top of a pizza can really
turbocharge your health, head to Amazon.com/the kindle store, and
download....see title above and to the right.

Good Luck!

Oscar Night Snack Rx For Better Health!

                                Snack On This! 

The Oscars are a few weeks away and for a lot of us that means
a big bowl of popcorn and waiting 3 or more hours until the good
(or significant) categories are called. You know, best actor, best picture
and best director.

And if you're not a fan of popcorn perhaps this news may change your mind.
What news is that?
It (popcorn) can actually lower your odds of getting certain cancers and
trim down your belly.
If you're a regular here, then you may remember the post we did on
Cameron Diaz. You know, her favorite breakfast food and her desire
to live till 100.
Well today, we're back with another whole grain that's as popular as
hot dogs or pizza or candy and something even better: It's gluten-free. 

That's right, corn is gluten-free and if you air pop it and then sprinkle 
on a few spices and herbs, it can actually help you lower your odds of
ever getting certain cancers.

The spices and herbs you should use...

Curry powder
black pepper
garlic powder
oregano
and after it's finished air-popping, sprinkle on some olive oil.
Olive oil is rich in oleic acid, a fatty acid that helps suppress the gene responsible
for breast cancer.

And for a trimmer midsection, sprinkle on safflower oil after
you finish air-popping it. Safflower )a favorite of talk show host Montel Williams)
has special compounds in it that specifically target belly fat.
Plus, the fiber in popcorn and oatmeal help fill you up so quickly, you're not
tempted to overindulge.

That's it- 2 great reasons to eat more popcorn.
And please, look for our next post where we tell you the favorite food 

of a nighttime host and how this food can really improve your health. 
Gotta run, all of this talk of popcorn is making me hungry.

Good Luck!
