Hollywood's Money Saving Tip For Your Favorite Beverage!

                         Just Say No To Starbucks! 
Stars are different in a lot of ways, but one way they're very
similar to the Average Joe and Jane...they love coffee.
Of course with their ginormous salaries a lot of them can afford
the $5, $10 or even $20 a day Java addiction.
But not you Jane in Lima Peru or Joe in Wichita Kansas,
spend that much on coffee 7 days a week and you'll surely
suffer some types of consequences.

So, what do you do?
Do you forgo your coffee habit, (hey a cup or two a day is good for you)
or do you continue reading and learn how to make your own lattes at home? 
Okay then, if you chose option no. 2 continue reading...

The following instructions on making your own Lattes at-home comes from
a former Barista and manager who worked at Starbucks for 5 yrs.
The Recipe:
a) Pick The Right Blend-
Use a full-flavored coffee like Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks espresso roast.
It will still taste bold when mixed with milk.
Important tip: Does your coffeemaker have a cone-shaped filter?
Your beans should be ground more finely.
b) Use The Right Ratio-
It's 2 Tbs. ground coffee for every 6 oz. cold filtered water. That'll yield
a robust brew that won't taste bitter.
Important tip: If you like your latte a little weak, brew it using the directions
you see above and then just dilute it with hot water.
c) Warm Up The Milk-
Microwave it just past boiling, about a min. checking at 15-second intervals
so it doesn't boil over.
Important tip: If you like a foamy top. use skim milk--its high-protein content
yields a frothier head.
d) Pour The Perfect Cup-
Slowly pour 3 oz. of milk into 3 oz. coffee (adjust for different sized cups).
Important tip: Like it sweet? Add sugar to the coffee before the milk, since it's 
the coffee that needs sweetening.
One last tip:
To keep your beans fresh, store them in an airtight container at
room temperature and not in the Fridge or freezer.
Storing them in the cold makes them moist and they won't taste
as good as a result.

There you have it, another financial tip to help you save for
an education,  a car or your retirement.

Good Luck!

Hollywood's Rx For Glamorous Lips!

                    Beautify Your Lips! 

Are you excited after putting on your lipstick? 
Well, according to a top Hollywood stylist,
you're not putting your lipstick on right.
Putting it on right may not be the right choice of words,
the female stylist says if you're using only one shade,
then your lips may not look their best.

That's right- using a blend of lipsticks within the same color family--
roses, reds, plums and nudes and then layer the lighter shade over
the darker shade, is the right way to do it.
Doing this gives your lips incredible color dimension and a more
glamorous look.

Good Luck!

Rapper's Rx For Keeping Your Bling Clean!

                    Keep Jewelry Clean! 
It's no secret, most rappers love their Jewelry.
One thing they don't love: cleaning their jewelry.
If you have sterling jewelry that'll rival any rappers'
collection, do the following to keep it clean.

Place each piece in a separate resealable plastic bag
and then place a piece of chalk in each bag.
And if there's no chalk available, use a silica
gel packet or an anti-tarnish strip, find them
at HSN.com.

Why do this?
A damp environment inside your home really takes
a toll on sterling silver and the plastic bag and chalk
keeps a lot of that moisture out. 
That's it- a simple tip to helping you keep your jewelry
in tip-top shape.

Another tip:
With Summer fast approaching, sports or energy drinks
will be a lot of teens' favorite thing to drink, and all of those
sports and energy drinks may put them on fast track towards
seizures, heart palpitations, strokes and something more
permanent...sudden death. To avoid this ever happening to
you, head to Amazon.com/the kindle store and download a
a copy of All-Natural Energy Drinks! See title below...
Learn how to make smoothies, shakes, teas, cocoas.
and juices that'll put any energy drink to shame and keep
your loved one alive. 
Good Luck!

And for the absolute-best deals, go straight to
the corners of the store, that's where the clearance racks are usually located.

The Stars' Secrets To A Great Body!

                     Bikini Ready For June!

With bathing suit season almost here, it's still not too late to 
get into some type of shape. If you think special equipment 
and time are something you really need to get into shape, 
you're wrong. 
Wrong? 
Yes, according to new research, a 5 to 10 min. exercise session 
two to three times a day is all you really need. 
And if you need to target a specific spot, follow the examples of 
some of your favorite stars. 
So, look below, find the body part you need help with and the stars 
solutions for fixing it.
1- The Waist.
Chisel your waist with a tip from a former "Days of Our Lives"star,
the exercise: Rebounding. You may know it as trampolining and the star 
who uses this form of exercise is Lisa Rinna. The 50 yr. old mom of 2, burns
more calories in 15 minutes than she would running for 30 mins. 
The continuous bouncing action engages the obliques (the muscles 
that wrap around the torso and pull in the waist) as your body 
works to stay balanced. Look for a mini-trampoline that's sturdy
and durable. 
2- Shoulders- 
Some women shy away from doing shoulder work for fear it 
may make them look like men. Ladies, the exercise you need to 
do will not require any weightlifting. 
The exercise: Jumping Rope. The childhood game  is a great way to
keep shoulders toned. And the star who loves this exercise is a "Housewife
From New York" aka Kelly Killoren Bensimon.
Often thought of as an aerobic exercise, this exercise requires that you 
hold onto the rope and that holding on is what builds up the shoulder muscles.
Buy a good quality jump rope and start with 30 secs. and move up to
a min. or two a day.
3- Stomach-
A problem area for a lot of women (and men) and to flatten it, you
may want to do the exercise that a "Hunger Games" star does.
What is the exercise? Kettle Bells And the star? Elizabeth Banks. 
The 40 yr. star loves to work out with kettlebells.
If you think weightlifting burns calories, kettlebelling burns about 
60% more. Swinging weights as opposed to lifting them provides
you with a momentum that works every muscle in your body. 
Plus, the swinging requires muscle control and that also helps 
develop muscle and burn calories.
Are you ready to give it a try?
Well, it's best you go to someone who's well versed in kettlbell
training or head to Youtube.com and type how to use Kettlebells
in the search bar. Doing it on your own may result in serious injuries.
4- A Tighter Bum-
In the U. K. it's called a bum and in the U.S. it's called a caboose,
junk, tailfeather, an apple, an onion, you get the idea.
Women are actually risking their lives and bank accounts to have
their rear ends plumped up, reshaped and tightened.
And the one star who doesn't want any part of the bigger and shapelier
rear is none other than Kelly Ripa.
During her first yr. of doing Live Regis and Kelly, she complained quite
a bit about her big rear and now she's gone (some say too far) to great lengths
to change it. Her exercise of choice: Jump Squats.
The explosive movements engages the lower body, especially all areas
of the rear end. And to make it more effective, raise your arms
while doing it. If a smaller rear end is something you want, make sure 
to warm up beforehand. Like kettlebells, doing jump squats without
warming up may cause serious injury.
To get started, Stand with feet hip-width apart and bend both knees to lower
into a squat. From the squat position, push off the balls of your feet into
a jump, straightening your legs in the air if you can. Finish up by landing
softly on the balls of your feet. Continue for 30 secs.
And if you want more tips on how to shape your rear end, go to
Instagram and type in Jen Selter. She's become an internet star thanks
to her shapely hind quarters.
5) The Thighs-
Another problem area women complain about and to get them into shape, 
do the high knee exercises that the former Dancing With The Stars' host
uses. Brooke Burke-Charvet does this exercise a few times a week.
This is a high-energy move that gives you a long, lean look from your
hips to your toes. Doing this move requires your legs to move up rapidly
and that tones every muscle in the legs, including the calves, hamstrings,
quadriceps and the inner and outer thighs.
To do this exercise...Stand tall and quickly march in place, raising
your knees as high as you can. Do this for 30 to 60 secs.
And as you get stronger, do it longer and add a 2 lb. hand weight
(for each hand).

That's it- 5 exercises to get you the dream body you always wanted.

Good Luck!
