Deperate Housewive's Fertility Rx!

                   Giving Birth Like A Star!
Marcia Cross, the quiet redhead of the hit ABC show "Desperate Housewives"
gave birth to twins after the age of 40.
What's so unique about that?
Well, she was over 40 and the twins were born healthy.

If you and your spouse or boyfriend would like to have twins or triplets
without medical assistance-your chances are greater if you're over 30.
That's right- for some unkonwn reason, women over 30 have a greater
chance of having twins, as opposed to someone under 30.
Some other celebrities-who've done it:
Mariah Carey-40
Jennifer Lopez- 39.
Angelina Jolie- 32.
Rebecca Romjin-O'Connell- 31.

But, what if you want twins without help from a medical specialist
and you're under 30?
Well, believe it or not, there are some foods that can help. Foods like...
1) Dairy- Yes, the food a lot of women avoid in hopes of maintaining weight,
may help you with multiple births. But there's a catch- the catch...it has to be regular diary,
not fat-free dairy. Why? Full fat dairy contains growth hormones and low and non-fat
dairy doesn't. These hormones not only increase your chances for twins, but can
help those who may be infertile. That's right- before you invest thousands on
fertility treatments, try dairy-full fat.
And one more thing: stop the dairy (or have it occasionally) once you're pregnant,
or extra weight will be another problem.
2) Blackberries- Blueberries get all of the attention, but for some reason, blackberries
help women give birth to twins or triplets.
One more tip: make sure the blackberries are organic, or wash them very carefully.
3) Yams- There's a part of Nigeria where a number of women had
twins and triplets. It confounded a number of people,  until a researcher
figured it out. His finding: It was the yams. Thanks to the dry and sunny conditions,
the people grew and ate a lot of Yams.  If you like yams then you're in luck,
but make sure you don't add a ton of sugar and other foods that may impede
multiple births. And if you're wondering about sweet potatoes-I'm not sure,
the women from Nigeria only eat yams.

That's it- 3 foods and being over 30, can help you deliver twins or triplets.
And one more thing: being over 30 can also increase risks for your future
kids to be born with major birth defects.
Good Luck!

That's right, the talented actress and singer, makes it a point to visit spas regularly.
Specifically- A spa treatment called Hot Buttered Hand Massage and Manicure!

That's right- treating the hands is just as important as the face and body.
In fact, your hands can age faster than your face and body, especially
if you don't treat them from time to time.
Ms. Moore gets her hands done at a spa/beauty salon in Beverly Hills

with enough water to make a paste; massage into hands. then rinse and pat dry.
Massage hand with the hand cream, and finally polish your nails with

Angelina Jolie's Rx For Staying Young!

                  Angelina Jolie's Youthful Good Looks!
Angelina Jolie has been called one of "the most beautiful woman"
in the World. Whether you agree or disagree with this, is up to you.

According to recent research- there's one physical trait that can help you
look a few yrs. younger than your age.
What do you think it is? Is it a slim figure? Or do you think it's unlined skin?
Or is it hair that doesn't have gray in it?
Well, if you're not sure, think of Ms. Jolie and her most talked about physical
trait... If you said lips, give yourself a big hand.

That's right- researchers say- full lips that remain full throughout your life
is something that can fool people into thinking you're yrs. younger.
Unfortunately, lips are at their best (and fullest) in your teens and 20's. (isn't everything)
But, there's something you can do to keep your lips full (short of surgery)
and remain youthful looking for yrs.

That something: Apply a mentholated lip balm, like...Blistex Lip Medex.
Find it at CVS drug stores. The balm combats dryness that thins and chaps the
lips and the menthol triggers a little harmless swelling.
So. if looking younger is something you want to achieve,
remember-it's all in the lips.

A side note:  This may be the reason Brad Pitt left Jennifer Aniston
(thin lips and almost 43yrs old) for Angelina Jolie (full lips and only 36 yrs. old.)

Good Luck!

Reese Witherspoon's Rx For Youthful Skin!

                       Look Youthful Like Reese!
Are you a fan of Reese Witherspoon? Is it her acting? Or do you admire her
youthful good looks? Believe it or not, Ms. Witherspoon is a young-looking 35.

How does she do it? It may be the work of a good doctor in Beverly Hills,
or it might a strict diet of fruit, vegetables and fatty fish or perhaps her
parents are young-looking and Reese is blessed genetically, or it could be tea.

Tea? That's right, Ms. Witherspoon is a big fan of tea, thanks to Grandmom.
According to research - 2 to 3 cups of tea a day helps clear up redness and
blemishes, plus it reduces and prevents fine lines and wrinkles.

So, are you ready to add tea to your diet?
Well, Ms. Witherspoon drinks green and black tea with spices like cinnamon,
ginger and nutmeg added to it and some fresh lemon or lime juice thrown in,
for good measure.
But if sagging and wrinkling is a concern, it's best to go with White tea.
In Asia, this tea is quite popular and it may explain why a lot of the women
look yrs. younger.

And one more tip: Skip the danish, donuts, and muffins. Sugar is
a top enemy of a youthful complexion.

There you have it, looking yrs younger with tea, have a cup tonight
and get a head start on "turning back the clock."

Good Luck!

The Big Bang Theory's Rx For A Future Tennis Pro!

                           Give Birth To A Future Tennis Pro!
The television show "The Big Bang Theory" is a big hit, and one of the reasons
for the suceess of the show is: Kaley Cuoco!

She plays Penny, the attractive, "normal" member of the cast.
One thing about Ms. Cuoco many fans don't know-is that she
was once ranked as one of the best young tennis players in the U.S.

Why did she stop?
Show business got in the way. She started acting at 8 months and decided she had
to make a choice between the two. As you can see-acting won.

A career in tennis can be a great opportunity for some kids...
the exercise, the travel and let's not forget the money.

So, would you like to raise a future tennis pro?
Well, according to some in the alternative  medical field,
you can-how? With fish oil!

That's right- women who take fish oil while pregnant,
help future offspring develop incredible hand-eye cordination
while in the womb.  Hand-eye cordination that can lead to a career in Ping-Pong
or tennis.

If this appeals to you, make sure to find someone qualified in the field
of alternative healing and find the best fish oil supplement out there.

And if you're wondering? Why not just eat a lot of fish? The quality
of fish that's sold in most supermarkets, may cause more harm than good.

Good Luck!

Jessica Simpson's Rx For Pregnancy Cravings!

                 Do Not Eat Like Jessica Simpson!
If you're a regular reader of this blog, then you may have read our post on Beyonce
and "pregnancy cravings." The post was about how not to go overboard on certain foods. This post is similar in nature.

Ms. Simpson revealed to an interviewer that she's has a ton of cravings
and unfortunately, she's giving in to them.
Why is this a problem?
Giving in to cravings for fatty and sugary foods can set your future child up with a
host of health problems like...
1) High Blood Pressure
2) Diabetes
3) Behavorial Problems- not listening in class, an inability to learn,
unable to sit still and just plain disruptive.
4) Cravings- For the foods you indulged in.
5) Skin problems like eczema and psoriosis.
6) Depression- see behavorial problems.

And many more health problems that could've easily been avoided had Mom
done the right thing and followed a diet of whole and natural foods.
The term "eating for two" is more than a catchy catch phrase.
And we're not discriminating- this applies to Dads as well. Eating well before
conceiving-is vitally important to future dads.

That's it- With Ms. Simpson's bank account, she could easily find a
naturopath and find out the best dietary plan to avoid the chicken nuggets,
chicken-fried steak, thick milk shakes and greasy fries.

Good Luck!

Tyra Banks Rx For Youthful Skin!

                    Look Youthful Like Tyra!
Tyra Banks is a known "frugalist." What is that? She loves to save money.
And her secret for youthful skin is testament to that.
Her secret: Petroleum jelly aka Vaseline!

It's no secret that Petroleum Jelly is used for a variety of purposes
in the African-American community, it's like duct tape that's used by
members of other communities. And members of the A.A. community
also use it an inexpensive hair conditioner.

Tyra makes no secret of her love of vaseline, and considering
she'll be 39 yrs. of age in a few months, proves it's working.

As for our team at RedCarpetRxs- we prefer olive, coconut or vegetable oil.
Why? It's less messy and doesn't look like you slid through an oil slick.
And some said it made them itch,  but If you want to try it and save money,
why not apply some of the above mentioned oil and then a little
dab of vaseline to seal it in. Or apply it on weekends, when you don't have
to face coworkers or classmates.

So, if you're spending good money on an ounce of a foreign cream
to retain your youthful looks, head to the drugstore and pick up a
$2.50 tub of Vaseline.
If it works for Ms. Tyra, then it'll work for you.

Good Luck!

Paula Deen's Rx To Combat Dandruff!

                           Paula Deen's Fig Rx To Beat Winter Dandruff!
Paula Deen, the widly popular southern cook who hosts her own show on
the Food Network is a big fan of figs.
Figs haven't caught on here in the U.S. but in other parts
of the world they're eaten quite regularly.

Figs like most fruits can benefit your health in a number of ways like...
1) More Milk- Help pregnant women produce more milk.
2) Easier Labor- Eat throughout prenancy and make a delivery a breeze.
3) Rx For Men- Keep the prostate gland normal size.
4) Stay Dandruff-Free- Drier air, Christmas goodies and colder air
make a dandruff a mainstay for a lot of people.
But thanks to Ms. Deen, you can create a "fig jam" and  "fig oil"
(not from Ms. Deen) and keep the embarrasing flakes from
showing up on your scalp.

Figs are rich in vitamins A and B, which help you overcome a dry, itchy
scalp and bring it back to the proper pH levels. You can buy a fig-infused
product already made or you can make your own.

The product: Bain de Terra Sugar and Fig, Scalp Massage Scrub, find it at
Amazon.com, price $18. Or try Chaz Dean Fig Sweet Orange Treatment Oil,
find it at ChazDean.com. It helps with irration and controls those white flakes.
Or make your own...
The recipe:
Fig Oil-
1 fresh fig.
2 tbsps. olive, almond or coconut oil.
The directions:
Pour the oil into a bowl, place a strainer over the bowl and squeeze the juice of one
fig into the oil. Massage the oil into your scalp and wet hair. Sit back for 10 to 20
mins. and then shampoo hair as usual. Enough for one massage session.

And if you still want a little more from Ms. Deen, try her fig jam, use it on
toast, a bowl of oatmeal or a bagel.

The recipe for Fig Jam!
In a non-aluminu pot, place 1/2 lb. fresh figs (stemmed)
with 6 tbsps. sugar, some grated lemon zest and 1 1/2 tbsps. from
one lemon. Bring this to a boil over medium-high heat,
stirring until sugar is dissolved. Turn down the heat until
the mixture thickens, (about 10 mins.) Remove from heat, let cool.
Serve on the above mentioned toast and store the rest in a clean container
and refrigerate. Makes a little less than 2 cups.

That's It- Figs to remove Winter dandruff.

Good Luck!

Stella McCartney's Dress For Less!

                         Christmas Dress For Less!
If you're a fan of Stella McCartney (and who isn't?) then you know that
you'll have to have her dad's (Paul) bank account to afford a lot of her stuff.
But recently, actress Alexis Bledel, former star of "The Gilmore Girls"
was seen in a beautiful burgundy dress from the Stella McCartney line
that caused quite a reaction.

A reaction not only because of the length and beautiful color, but also the price.
The price: A whopping $1700!
But luckily for you, a site is willing to sell you a beautiful replica for a fraction of
that price.
The price for you- A paltry $80, and the site: Topshop.com!

So see, just because your dad isn't Paul McCartney doesn't mean you
can't afford his daugthers' knockoff dresses.

Want to lower your blood pressure, reduce stress, boost your
immune system and increase your breathing capacity?
Start singing! That's right- become the Katy Perry

And doing it in the shower-helps you loosen up phlegm, (the gunk
that gets stuck in your throat).

So, sing like Katy Perry in your car, shower, wherever,
just do it and improve your chances of a living a long and
healthy life.

Black Swan's Rx For A Bad Back!

                                    Ballet Shoes To Ease That Bad Back!
Black Swan was a huge movie, it starred Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis.
The movie helped inspire a new trend. The trend: Women wearing ballet flats.

If you started wearing them because of the movie or if you wore them prior
to the movie, you may want to rethink that.

Why? They may cause back pain. That's right, the shoes were made for dancing
and not for walking through shopping malls or walking long stretches of city streets.

So, if you want to save your back and still want to wear your flats- make sure to choose
a pair with a slight heel.
The extra inch or two moves your center of gravity forward to take pressure off
your back.

Glee's Rx For A Prosperous New Year!

                     A Prosperous and Healthier New Year!
Actress and Singer Lea Michele appeared on the "Tonight Show" with Jay Leno
last night. She and Jay talked about their Italian heritage and the dishes
their respective families eat. Ms. Michele, then went on to talk about foods
for the New Year. She said she and some members of her family eat 12 grapes
for the upcoming new year.
When Jay Leno asked her why 12? She replied "I don't know"!

Well, we at Red Carpet Rxs know- and the reason is- Some countries eat certain foods
to usher in the new year. They hope that by eating a certain food-they'll enjoy more health,
wealth and happiness.

If you or your family eats a particular dish, keep it up. And listed below are a
few of those countries and the foods they eat...
1) Spain- Ms. Michele is half Italian, but she eats 12 grapes like the Spaniards.
Why 12? Latins believe that if you eat 12sweet grapes at midnight-Dec. 31,
the sweeter the grapes, the better the grapes. And for the 12- Each grapes represents
a month.
2) Sicily- Ms. Michele mentioned that she was Italian, but she didn't say what
part of Italy, but Sicilians eat Lasagne. She also mentioned eating Lasagne, but
on Christmas. Switch it to New Year's Eve, Ms. Michele and you'll have a better
yr. than 2011.
3) Japan- If you guessed some type of noodle, you're right. But make them long
noodles. Long noodles for a longer stretch of health and wealth.
4) A Dutch Treat- Dutch people eat donuts. Why donuts, because they're sweet,
and hopefully you're yr. will be sweeter and the circle represents the completion
of the year's cycle and to usher in prosperity.

That's it - for now, tomorrow- some American food customs for more health,
wealth and happiness.

Sting's Rx For All-Night Sleep!

                               End Insomnia!
Sting, the former lead singer of "The Police" and now-solo singer was today's
guest on the Ellen show. He told Ellen he turned 60 and feels great. How does he do
it? Yoga!

If you remember a few yrs. back, Sting told any and everyone about the benefits of
Yoga that helped him achieve "Superman" like hours in the bedroom.
It's true, yoga-especially for men, is said to help with the dreaded premature
ejaculation-so many men complain about.

But today, I'd rather talk about another problem plaguing both men
and women. The problem: Insomnia!
That's right- taking up yoga can help anyone suffering from an inability

Kim Kardashian's Rx For Avoiding Colds

                               The Soles Of Kim Kardashian!
With the holiday season in full swing, we still have to remember it's cold season.
And that's the point of this post. To remind you take special care and not get sick.

The old ways to avoid colds...Wash your hands a few times a day, eat some plain
yogurt (probiotics) sing out loud each day or add some garlic to your daily menus
are great tips, but there's one more...
The tip: Watch your shoes, more specifically-the soles.

That's right- Kim Kardashian who not only loves to buy them, but sell them
as well, can help keep you cold-free this Winter. How?
The soles of your shoes can harbor over a hundred thousand germs, germs that
can put your health at serious risk.

So, how do avoid this?
Kick off your shoes at the door, especially if you have rugs,
and wash the bottom of your shoes with a disinfecting agent
or some bleach and water, once a week.

And one more tip: Keep slippers at the door, (for all family members)
and really reduce your risk of infections.

That's it- a tip to stay cold and flu-free. And feel free to pass this tip onto
Kim Kardashian, but with her recent problems, (marital issues)
she may not be too concerned about the soles of her shoes.

Good Luck!

Sheryl Crow's Rx For Thinning Hair!

                                    Sheryl Crow and Thinning Hair!
Sheryl Crow, grammy award winning singer and songwriter
was faced with a problem that's happening to a lot of women today,
the problem: Thinning Hair!

Why does it happen?
Exposure to the Sun, free radicals and pollution
break down the collagen and elastin in the skin on the scalp.
This ages and shrinks hair follicles, so hair comes in thinner and thinner.
And don't forget that other female problem: Hormones.
This can cause women to lose about 10% of their hair every few years.
This results in droopy and thinning locks which can make you
look a little older than your actual age.
And don't forget, Ms. Crow fought a battle with breast cancer, and
that also contributes to thinning hair.

So, if you're fighting the thinning hair battle, perhaps a change
in conditioners is all you need to remedy it.
Try a conditioner that has a "negative charge."

Why this type of conditioner?
Hair is made up of negative ions, and most of the conditioners
are infused with positive ions so the product is attracted to the
strands- but a conditioner with too many positive ions
can weigh hair down. But products labeled "volumizing"
are formulated with negative ions that repel from strands,
leaving a lighter coating, so you hair appears bouncier and
thicker. 

A conditioner to make the hair look fuller:
Nexxus Sublime Volume Conditioner- 13.5 oz, price- $15,
and find it online at-Drugstore.com.

One more fun fact: Rain also contains negative ions,
so if live in city where it rains a lot, (Seattle and Portland)
walk around without a head covering or an umbrella,
once in a while.

Good Luck!

J Lo's Rx For Younger Looking Hair!

                             Get J Lo's Hair Color!
Jennifer Lopez is like most women... she really cares about her hair.
With a new boyfriend who's some 18 yrs younger than she is,
Ms. Lopez wants her hair to match her face, body and attitude.
And one way to do that: Keep your hair in tip-top shape.
Ms. Lopez,  was concerned about the gray hair
that seemed to appear overnight.

Why does it (gray hair) happen?
Hair follicles produce enzymes that break down hydrogen peroxide
molecules that naturally occur in the skin. But getting older, hormones and
stress, these enzymes slowly decrease. allowing hydrogen peroxide
to build up and strip the hair of it's natural color.

As a result- the hair gets gray, dry and wiry.
Yes, we know- gray hair is a sign of aging and we should "just live
with it." But, who wants to look older, when you're face and body
still look good?

So, to get younger looking hair, to go with your face and body,
do the following...

Pick up a paintbrush with 1and 1/2"-wide nylon bristles (about $2)
The point of using a brush--The bristles ruffle up the grays's compact cuticle
so the color pigments can be better absorbed.
To do this...Pour the dye of your choice into a bowl and use a brush
to apply the color to the roots. Then gently scrub the brush back
and forth across the strands.

That's it- Your Rx to looking younger, we can't guarantee you'll look like
J Lo or snag a younger man, but it'll make you look younger and feel better
about yourself.

Good Luck!

Beyonce just revealed that her choice of snacks isn't brownies,
a dozen oatmeal cookies or endless pieces of chocolate.
No, her favorite snack: Sugar-free Jello!

That's right, and to make it more flavorful, she uses  diet 
lemon-lime soda instead of water.

she says the Jello helps her eat less.

How? Low sugar foods helps satify you, plus they help prevent
the blood sugar swings that can trigger cravings.

So, are you ready to adopt Ms. Knowles slimming secret?
If you are, I'd advise against drinking too much diet soda,
an occasional glass is okay, drinking it on a regular basis,
can cause bone loss, damage hearing and raise blood pressure.
Have an apple before one or two of your biggest meals,
or a salad, or a bowl of broth-based soup before a meal.
All 3 are great ways to curb appetite and aid in weight loss.

Tim Tebow's Rxs For A Healthier Christmas!

                                           Healthy Tips From The Bible!
Tim Tebow the enigmatic quarterback of the Denver Broncos is
quite the polarizing figure. Never has there been a sports figure
more celebrated, not just for his play on the field, but his love of God
as well.

Mr. Tebow isn't the quaterback that John Elway or Troy Aikmann were
at age 23, but his dedication to hard work, will surely win over a lot fans.
And his dedication to working hard and believing in himself, will certainly
help the people of Colorado relive the winning ways of yesteryear and
his dedication to the bible will help the fans of the other 49 states.

That's right- Just as football can help heal, so can the bible.
If you're familiar with the bible, then you're aware of the number of
times...healing with Olive oil is mentioned.
But did you also know that there are nearly 40 herbs mentioned in the
"Good Book?"
And with Christmas five weeks away, why not share the gift
of the five herbs that make up the story of the "Three Wise Men".
You remember the story of the 3 wise men bringing myrrh and
frankincense to Mary and Joseph, but have you ever wondered
what myrrh and frankincense were?
Wonder no more, you'll find the answers below...
1) Myrrh-
Ease pain with myrrh. It's a tree resin that has natural anesthetic
properties that numb pain signals in the brain. Myrrh can dampen
the perceptions of pain by a whopping 25%.
Where do you find myrrh in 2011? Look for myrrh gum capsules
at health-food stores.
Important tip: Always talk to your Dr. before trying any new
alternative treatment.
2) Hyssop-
Mentioned in both the Old and New testaments-this herb was used
as an antiseptic and disinfectant-to treat respiratory problems.
Phytochemicals in hyssop can break up congestion, loosen phelgm,
ease swelling and reduce inflammation allowing you to breathe more
easily. Look for hyssop as a tea or buy the essential oil at health-food
stores. Drink the tea or apply a few drops of essential oil to a warm
compress and apply to your chest or head.
3) Cumin-
Used as a seasoning thousands of years ago, it was also used as currency.
Cumin has 2 uses: To soothe an upset stomach and to boost energy.
It contains more than 100 chemicals that work on gas and bloating,
as well as boosting oxygen levels to help you become more energized.
Find cumin at Supermarkets in the Spice aisle, or get it in capsule
or tea form at your health-food store.
Sprinkle on soups. salads, or chillis. Or add a tsp. to a cup of hot water,
let it sit for a few mins. stir and drink as a tea.
4) Frankincense-
Concerned about all of the running around you'll have to do this
holiday season? Reduce the fears and quell anxiety with frankincense.
It activates "feel-good" receptors in your brain, easing anxiety and
mild depression. Look for frankincense as an incense or candles at
health-food stores. Light them up whenever you feel stressed or tense.
5) Saffron-
Need to beat depression this coming holiday season? A little stronger
than frankincense, this herb is said to be the safer and cheaper-Prozac.
And another benefit of Saffron--Women who suffer from irregular
periods, can regulate them and return them to normal with Saffron.
Find saffron at health-food stores, take it as a tea or as dried extract. 

So, whether you like or dislike Tim Tebow, you can't dispute
the valuable health information we can learn from the Bible.

Good Luck!

Jessica Simpson's Rx For Choosing The Baby's Gender!

               Jessica Simpson's Boy or Girl!

Jessica Simpson revealed last week that she was pregnant.
No sh##t Sherlock! The way her stomach protuded, most Americans
knew it wasn't her love of Texas barbecue that was causing the round belly.
Now that she's revealed the pregnancy, she's now claiming that she doesn't know 
the sex of her baby. She may be telling the truth, or she's trying to tell the public
to "mind your own business!"
Well, she has that right, but according to folklore, there are some
physical signs that a pregnant woman goes through that can tell you
(friend, relative, coworker or just an observer) if it's a boy or girl.
Listed below are those signs...
1) If it's a Boy:
a) Your baby's heart rate is less than 140 beats per minute.
b) You're carrying the extra weight out front.
c) Your belly looks like a basketball.
d) Your areolas are getting dark.
e) You're carrying low.
f) You're craving salty or sour foods.
g) You're also craving protein (meat and cheese)
h) Your feet are colder than normal.
i) Your hands are getting drier.
j) Your urine is a bright yellow.
k) Your nose is getting bigger.
l) No morning sickness-early in the pregnancy.
m) Hang your wedding or engagement ring over your belly...it should move in circles.
n) Add your age at the time of conception and the number for the month you conceived,
the number should be even.

2) If it's a Girl:
a) Your baby's heart rate is at least 140 beats per minute.
b) You're carrying the weight in your hips and rear end.
c) Your stomach looks like a watermelon.
d) Your left breast is larger than your right breast.
e) You're carrying high.
f) You're craving sweets and carbs.
g) You're also craving fruit and orange juice.
h) You refuse to eat the heel of the bread.
i) Your urine is a dull yellow.
j) You're becoming more moody.
k) Your breasts are becoming perky.
l) You're experiencing early morning sickness.
m) Hang your wedding or engagement over your stomach...it should move
side to side.
n) Add your age at the time of conception, and the number for the month
you conceived, the number should be odd.
That's it- again these are wivestales and not based on scientific data, but if you
or someone close to you is pregnant. Why not test a few or all of the signs
and learn the sex of your baby on your own.
And if you're close to Jessica Simpson, ask her a few questions about
her morning sickness, cravings or breast size, then you can find out the
sex of her child on your own.

Good Luck!

Hollywood Stars Low-Cost Beauty Rxs!

                    The Beauty Secrets Of Hollywood Stars!

Do you think that all Hollywood Stars spend thousands on Botox,
special moisturizers or cosmetic surgeries?
Well, if you said yes, you're wrong.
In fact, many stars use products that you may have in your cabinets
or refrigerators. Continue reading and find out their secrets...

1) Jennifer Love Hewitt-
Do you love the color of Ms. Hewitt's hair?
Her secret:  Coffee! Ms. Hewitt loves the way coffee gives
her hair a deeper and enriched brunette color.
Coffee also brings out the the cool tones.
To do- Just apply cooled coffee to shampooed and towel-dried hair.
Place a shower cap over your hair and leave the coffee in for 20 mins.
After 20 mins. just rinse out.

2) Catherine Zeta-Jones-
No expensive teeth-whitening for Mrs. Douglas.
Her secret: Strawberries!
Just mash a strawberry or two with a little baking soda and rub
the mixture on your teeth, with your toothbrush.
Strawberries contain malic acid, which can lighten stains and remove
discolorations.
This secret is also rumored to be used by Jessica Simpson!

3) Teri Hatcher-
The desperate housewife keeps her skin looking a decade younger
than most women her age.
Her secret: Red wine!
That's right, a cup or two of red wine in the tub and turn
back the clock on your skin. Red wine contains resveratrol, an antioxidant
that combats skin-aging free radicals. And for those who don't want to pour
it (wine) into the tub, rub some on your face, neck, and hands. Leave on for
20 mins. and then rinse off.

4) Cindy Crawford-
Supermodel Cindy Crawford will be 50 in a few yrs.
Her secret: Milk!
Like Ms. Hatcher, Cindy Crawford pours some milk into her bathwater
or she pours some milk into a spray bottle with a little water and spritzes her face.
The lactic acid in milk is a great exfoliant. Just make it low-fat or fat-free milk.

5) Fergie-
Fergie worries about keeping her stomach flat.
Her secret: Apple Cider Vinegar!
She takes 2 tbsps. of apple cider vinegar before 2 of her meals.
Vinegar slows down the rate of foods emptying from your stomach,
helping you to feel less hungry.
Another benefit of A.C.V.- smoother skin.
If you're budget allows-go for the organic apple cider vinegar.

6) Jessica Biel-
Although Ms. Biel is closing in on 30 yrs. of age, she doesn't want
to look it.
Her secrets: Sugar! Not eating it, but exfoliating with it.
Ms. Biel buys regular sugar and adds a tsp. to her body wash,
and while showering, scrubs the vulnerable spots. Her arms, tops
of her hands, her neck, knees, cheeks and feet.
Sugar is like microdermabrasion. You can use white sugar,
but brown sugar is less processed. Just add to your body wash or
mix it with a little vegetable or olive oil and rub yourself younger.
And take a look at my post on Christie Brinkley- age 57, another
star who uses exfoliation to look younger.
7) Halle Berry-
Named one the best looking stars for 2 decades now.
Her secret: Vitamin C!
The vitamin C drink powders can be used for drinking, or do
like Ms. Berry and apply them to your face.
She uses a cleanser and a toner and applies the pure vitamin C
to her face, neck and hands.
Vitamin C is vital for making new collagen, which is what gives skin that
plump, youthful appearance. Your recipe for looking younger-
just mix 1/4 package of Emergen -C or other powdered vitamin C packet
with 1 Tbs. of water and apply to the face, neck and hands. Let dry, and then rinse off.
That's it- some easy and very useful tips to help any woman look their youthful best.

J Lo's Rx For Great Legs!

                   Get Legs Like J Lo!
Jennifer Lopez gave some special fans who came to her show at the Foxwoods
casino in Connecticut an incredible show and some wonderful advice.
Thanks to the T.V. show Access Hollywood, five fans were allowed to move
from the back of the auditorium, up to the front, and after the show,
the five fans were allowed to visit with Ms. Lopez.
And one of the fans asked her "how do you get such incredible legs?"
To which Ms. Lopez replied- "I had to give up soda"
Now, some stars are vegans, some eat fish, but no chicken or beef
and some eat only raw foods to attain their "perfect" physiques, but Soda.
Why?
Incredibly, soda has been getting a bad rap of late and it's rightly deserved.
A soda now and then won't do to much damage to your health, but drink
it everyday and it'll do incredible damage to your health and well-being, like...
1) Brittle Bones-
Too much soda like too much alcohol can set you up for broken hips and
other fractures later in life.
2) Acne-
Suffer from acne? If your a heavy soda drinker, you may want to cut back
or cut it out entirely.
3) Cravings-
This may be the reason Ms. Lopez avoids it. Drinking soda on a regular basis
may increase cravings for sweets and other fatty foods. It may be the type of
sugar the soda makers use.
4) Blood Pressure-
Regular soda drinkers have significantly higher blood pressure than those
who avoid it. Again, the type of sugar may be to be blame.
5) Diet-
But, what about diet? Nope, new research says that artificial sweetners
in the soda, may also cause problems to your health, like...buzzing in
the ears and frequent headaches.
Side Note- you may want to pass this onto Donna Karan, (the fashion designer)
it's rumored she drinks diet soda 7 days a week.

So, now that you know how J Lo keeps her legs in great shape,
it's time to rethink your drinking stiuation. Look online for alternatives
to soda.

Good Luck!

Regis and Kelly's Rx To Staying Cold and Flu-Free!

                        Prevent Colds and Flu Naturally! On today's Regis and Kelly Show, the hosts took flu shots to help them stay
flu-free this yr. There's still a debate raging on whether they're safe or not.
If you plan on getting a flu shot this yr. that's okay, but if you're from the camp
of "I don't want a flu shot" use one of the natural remedies listed below...
1) Eat more Yogurt-
Make it a good unsweetened yogurt that contains probiotics.
A cup of yogurt a day is a great way to prevent the flu.
2) Eat Apples and Kiwis-
Both contain compounds that help you stay cold and flu-free.
Fun fact, a teacher who had gotten too many colds for too many
years, really wanted something natural to help her in the upcoming yr.
She visited a nutritionist who recommended Kiwi.
She ate 2 a day, 5 days a week and stayed flu-free for the whole school yr.
Another benefit of Kiwi: Her undereyes circles disappeared and she didn't
have to cake her makeup on too heavily anymore.
Just consider Kiwi-"the plumber's snake of the fruit world." Able to clear out
blockages and allow blood to flow more easily.
3) Take a Cold Shower-
Unable to take a 3 min. cold shower? That's okay- researchers say turning down
the shower for the last 30 secs. or min. is enough to help build up immunity.
Cold baths and showers are popular in Scandinavian countries.
4) Avoid the Sweets-
Dr. Oz, America's favorite Dr. wants all of us to cut "way down" on
or cut out sugar entirely from our diets and for good reason.
Too much sugar, especially in Nov. Dec. and Jan.  wreaks
havoc on our immune systems, making it easier for cold and flu
viruses to enter our systems.
5) A Tip for Vegetarians-
Did you become a "strict" vegetarian in the last few wks.
You may think you're doing yourself a favor, but you may be
setting yourself up for more colds that last for too long. Why?
A strictly vegetable diet is lacking in Zinc, a mineral
that helps build up immunity. Are you ready to go back to meat?
No! Eat more mushrooms or ask your naturopath for a good zinc
supplement.
6) Gargle-
Yes the simple act of gargling once or twice a day is an effective way to stay
cold and flu-free. Gargle with plain water or with a little sea or Himalayan salt.
7)  More about the Flu-Shot-
If you do plan on getting the flu shot, make it more effective by
taking up Tai Chi, yes that Tai Chi, the ancient Chinese slow and gentle
exercise.
Hope these tips help you stay cold amd flu-free,
and if you have a tip or two on ways to avoiding colds,
please pass them along.

Beyonce's Pregnancy Cravings!

                                     Food Cravings During Pregnancy!
Beyonce announced recently that she has some unusual cravings.
Unusual like Oreo biscuits and gherkins, (pickles). She's also craving
ice cream with hot chili sauce.
These choices aren't really that unusual, Britney Spears craved dirt,
that's right dirt. Craving non-food items is called Pica.
And the cure may be more iron.

Some other unusual cravings are the smell of gasoline, chewing ice
and eating powdered laundry detergent. 
Cravings for sweets, meats or dirt is your body telling you that you're deficient
in certain nutrients.

Not all cravings are bad, for instance actress Alyson Hannigan from
the T.V. show -"How I Met Your Mother" craved and ate a lot meat
during her pregnancy. Only problem with that-she was a vegan for yrs.
before her pregnancy. Her body was telling her "I need extra iron."

As for Beyonce- craving and giving into sweets is okay, ocassionally,
but having a non-stop sweetathon not only puts the future moms' health
in danger, but the babys' as well.
New research says, that a steady diet of white flour and sugar
may cause future offspring to crave and eat such foods, which can lead
to depression, bad moods and temper problems that may last a lifetime.

So, if you're pregnant or planning on becoming pregnant, it's best to
talk to your Dr. or naturopath and figure out what to eat, so that you
won't crave and give in to unlimited sweets, salt or dirt.

Good Luck!

Rachael Ray's Food Rx To Stop Brain Aging!

                                  Cook Like Rachael Ray!
Rachael Ray the popular and affable cook, author and T.V. host,
cooked only vegetables on her "30 Minute Meals" show today.

Ms. Ray is known for her love of cooking meat and one of the vegetables'
featured on today's show was Eggplant.

Eggplant contains compounds called nasunin, found in the eggplant skin-
wards off damage to brain cell membranes. That's important since the membrane
protects the brain cells from harmful free radicals and allows vital nutrients to
enter, helping the brain function at optimal levels.

So, if you weren't an eggplant eater before, perhaps the above info will change your mind.
And for the Eggplant steak recipe featured on Ms. Ray's show today,
