Hollywood's Rx For Making Makeup Last Longer!

                               Make That Makeup Last!

Ladies, do you spend a small fortune on makeup?
Well, it can go bad if you're not careful.
Go bad?
Yes, especially for women with oily skin.

Take a look at your makeup a few hours after
putting it on and if you see that it changed colors,
start doing the following.

According to top makeup artist--Kim Weber, makeup
changing colors happens if you have excess sebum, (oily skin)
and that extra oil oxidizes the minerals in your foundation
and blush creating an orange or grayish color.

So, to avoid this problem in the future, before applying your foundation,
smooth on an antioxidant primer (like Sephora Perfecting Ultra-Smoothing
Primer. Find it online at Sephora.com, price $15.
The primer creates a barrier for your makeup, preventing the color change.

That's it- helping you keep more of your money for yourself and
not the powerful makeup conglomerates.

Good Luck!

The View's Rx For Future Moms!

                            Blood Types and Biological Clocks! 

If you caught Friday's edition of the T.V. show "The View"
then you're well aware the subject of biological clocks came up.
Sports analyst and new host of "Dancing With The Stars"
was a guest host and her biological clock was the one the women
were talking about.

Who was the woman?
Erin Andrews. Ms. Andrews, at age 35, told the women that she's
been dating a professional hockey player, but doesn't know if
the yr. long romance will lead to marriage, but she's hoping,
mainly because she wants to have kids before it's too late.
If you're in the same position as Ms. Andrews, you may want to ask your
Dr. about a test that'll tell you if you have enough healthy eggs
to conceive.

That's right- the type of blood you have can help medical professionals
determine if you'll have enough eggs, especially if you plan on waiting
to have kids.
The blood types: 

If you have type O blood, you'll run out of eggs earlier.
And if you have type AB blood or type A blood, you can wait a little longer.
So, if having a baby is of major importance, then you may want to
ask your Dr. about a blood test that measures your anti-mullerian
hormones, (AMH).
This test will give you an estimate of your remaining egg supply.

That's it- and if you are older or plan on having kids a little
later, some women are having success at conceiving at later
ages with a good, detox diet. 

One woman followed the diet tips from a Canadian woman
by the name of Tosca Reno, not to get pregnant, but to clean up her
diet and improve her health. Well, the results were beyond anything
she expected. The woman started experiencing stomach pains
and was convinced the new diet was the culprit, she went to have
the growling and rumblings checked out and the Dr. said--
"You're pregnant!"
The woman's age- 51 and her husband--age 53.
She had kids in their 20's,  and now at age 51, she
was expecting again.

Hey, a good diet can help you look younger, avoid
heart problems, diabetes, cancers and strokes,
so why can't it help you conceive at a later age?

Secrets Your Dr. Doesn't Want You To Know.

Good Luck!

The Television Rx For Helping Kids Learn!

                           More T.V. For Better Grades!

Are you the type that wants your kids to watch less T.V.?
Or are you the type that says your grades will suffer as a result
of watching T.V.?

Well, The suits who run Hollywood don't really care one way or the
other, they just want you and your kids watching more of it
and if you're the type who is worried about their grades suffering,
you can do this.
What is it?
Turn on the Close- Captioning.

Yes, you're reading it right, reading to kids was and will always be
a staple in a lot of homes, but new research says that turning on
the close-- captioning is equal to pureeing vegetables and sneaking
them into your kids' diet.
This is a great way to get kids to learn while watching T.V. and one more
thing...Kids don't even have to read along to benefit. Seeing the written words
on the screen subconsciously foster's a more positive attitude toward reading.
So, next time The Wiggles come on, turn off the sound and let your
kids read and sing along.

Good Luck!

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!
