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

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
apply makeup like a Pro.

Good Luck!

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!
