LeAnn Rimes Rx To End Anxiety!

                   Get  Less Stressed Like LeAnn! 

Singer LeAnn Rimes is reportedly seeking treatment for anxiety. 
As we told you in some past posts; Anxiety and other stress-related
disorders are the biggest health problem many people are seeking help for.
How big? One-third of the money spent on medication is for anxiety and other
stress-related illnesses. And the latest vicitim is LeAnn Rimes.

Anxiety is a serious problem in Hollywood, why? Pressure to look good
all the time, paparazi following you, auditioning for role after role and
then not getting it, and of course- the people around you...the agents,
managers, trainers, stylists, massage therapists and family and friends
who need help. And with all of that pressure it's astounding more stars
are suffering.
Anyway, back to LeAnn Rimes, there are a number of ways to deal with
anxiety, diet (Ms. Rimes is serious about her diet) exercise, (another thing
going for Ms. Rimes) watching trans-fats, prayer, B vitamins, volunteer,
adopting a pet, and getting more of a good fat.

A good fat?
Yup, according to Canadian research, the oil known as Krill, increases
feeling of contentment, help calm you down, boost energy and knockout
brain fog. Krill oil is loaded with unique and healthy fats that affect your 
adrenal glands, which will quickly reduce the number of stress hormones
your body produces. Look for Krill oil at GNC stores, try the Naturals
and Jarrow Formulas. Talk to your Dr. before adding any new product.
And if you want to find out more on stars that are dealing with
anxiety, go to Google.com and type in Celebrities With Anxiety.

And if you want an alternative method of dealing with your Anxiety,
go to Amazon.com/ the kindle store and look for Natural Alternatives
To Xanax.

and unpleasant, but just one drink can help you release feel-good endorphins, 
making you feel more upbeat and positive.
c) A Longer Life-
A woman lived well into her 90's without heart disease, arthritis,
Alzheimer's or cancer- how? By cutting up a clove of garlic,
and then downing it with a shot of vodka. Moderate
drinking helps you avoid the major diseases that take
and shorten most peoples' lives.

So, are you ready for to add some vodka to your life?
Are you ready to help  Fergie get richer?

alcohol, look below for a Choc. martini recipe to get you started.

soda and not toothpaste to keep her smile sparkling.

beautiful  pieces of clothing you can make.

needles and yarn with her to every set and this way she's not tempted
to eat her way through 3 months of filming.

Another benefit of knitting- It lowers your heart rate and blood pressure

Hollywood's Rx For Saving The Environment!

                            Natural Rxs For The Environment! 

Hollywood stars have been doing their part to save the environment and
find suitable replacements to products like laundry detergent, drain cleaners,
and fabric softeners.
Stars like Leonardo DiCaprio,  Ed Begley Jr. Jamie Lee Curtis,
Ryan Gosling and Jessica Alba (who's creating her own
line of "natural"products)  are all doing their part to
help us and if you want to do your part, look below to get
started on doing without the dangerous chemicals.
1) Drain Cleaner-
Using a commercial drain cleaner on a regular basis,
not only ruin your drain pipes, your wallet and your health as well.
To make your own alternative-do the following...
Combine one cup baking soda and pour it down the drain.
Then pour down 2 quarts of boiling water, wait about 30 min.
and then finish up with some cool water.
2) Shaving Cream-
If the ingredients on your can of shaving cream, reads like
chemistry book, it's time to toss it out. The suitable replacement:
Hair Conditioner. Shaving cream creates the same foaming action
and it leaves behind some moisturizers as well. 
3) Oven Cleaner-
Like drain cleaners, breathing in the fumes of oven cleaner over time
can do incredible damage to your health. A suitable replacement:
Baking soda. Heat the oven up for a min. or two and then pour on a little 
baking soda and a small amount of hot water. Let it sit on the stains and spills
and then scrub (with a scouring pad) and then wipe down the oven with a cloth.
4) Stains-
Do you use a product like Shout? Well, if you run out or want to save money, 
use some baby shampoo. Just apply directly to the stain before washing.
And yes, it it works for handwashables as well. Add a few drops of baby shampoo
 to things like sweaters, bras and nylons.
5) Squeaky Doors-
Your old reliable can of  WD40 works perfectly, only problem- breathing in the
fumes yr. after yr. New suitable replacement: Petroleum Jelly aka Vaseline.
Put some on door hinges, or the inside of your oven doors. Vaseline is more suitable
than say--vegetable or olive oil, both of which can spill and leave big messes.
6) Fabric Softener-
Who doesn't love the smell of a fabric softener? Believe it or not, they (fabric softeners)
can build up on clothes, and even shorten the life of your clothes and linens.
The suitable replacement: Vinegar! The liquid that has 101 uses, can help get your
clothes softer and even cleaner. Just pour 1/4 cup in during the final rinse. 

That's it- And remember, that although you may never feel like a star,
you can protect and save the environment like them.

Good Luck!

help regulate the division of cells, cutting your risk of breast cancer by 30%.
How much and how many times a week should you eat rice and beans?

another day, making it 3 times a week, And make the rice-brown, which

Kim K's Rx For Dandruff-Free Hair!

                            Get Rid Of The Dandruff! 

On a past show of the "Kardashians" Kim complained about wearing a certain
color blouse, her complaint- it would show off her dandruff. 
Kim K. like a lot of folks has dandruff, and the reasons for it are numerous.
One such reason may be she's not getting enough essential fatty acids in her 
diet.

And why are they (E.F.A.) necessary?
They help support normal biological functions, prevent certain diseases and
may even help you overcome certain diseases.
But, as for your own beauty- they help moisturize your skin.
And as you get older, getting that moisture becomes harder and harder.

So, are you seeing more dandruff?
If so, make sure to get more fatty acids and you can start by adding more flaxseed
oil to your meals or taking a tbsp. or two per day.
Flaxseed oil is one of the most concentrated sources of alpha-linolenic and when
eaten, it can help you get rid of those embarrassing white flakes.

Also helpful- walnut, coconut and olive oil.
And one more thing: Eliminating or eating rarely (very rarely) junk food
can also keep you "dandruff-free." Junk food may taste great, but it does
little to help moisturize your insides. And Kim K does admit to eating certain
foods that may be contributing to her ongoing battle with dandruff.

There you have it, another tip that can help you look your most beautiful,
whether you're from Hollywood Calif, London England or Wichita Kansas.

Good Luck!

Julia Robert's Rx For Whiter Teeth!

                      Get a Whiter and Brighter Smile! 

Julia Roberts, America's sweetheart before Reese Witherspoon took the title,
just revealed a funny little story about how she keeps her teeth clean.
In fact, it's something her grandfather taught her and if you have a grandma
or grandpa who used household products to treat medical issues or for cleaning,
then you have something in common with Ms. Julia!

Her teeth cleaning secret: Baking Soda!
That's right- the 89 cent box of "do everything" is the secret remedy
Julia Roberts uses to keep her teeth clean. 
Some people are doing away with their regular toothpaste after hearing
about the number of things in it that can harm your health.

So, if you want to do away with the pricey container of white goo that
passes as toothpaste and use something our relatives have been relying on
for decades, pick up a box or two of baking soda today.

To use- pour a little in your hand (a clean hand) run your toothbrush under
hot water for a few secs. and then dip it in the hand with the baking soda.
Brush for 30 to 60 secs. (no more than that, or you'll brush off too much enamel)
and once or twice a week, after finishing your teeth, run the toothbrush over your lips.
You'll have the softest, most kissable lips around.

And if you're still not convinced, remember these 2 facts.
a) Julia Roberts said her grandfather had only one cavity in his adult life.
b) Oprah also is a big proponent of baking soda, she hasn't used toothpaste
in almost 3 decades.

Good Luck!

Miley Cyrus' Rx For Good Health!

                       Miley Cyrus and Gluten-Free Foods! 

Miley Cyrus, the former Disney star is looking a lot different these days,
some say it's because of her love interest, Liam, some say it's
her exercise program- Pilates and others say it's her new diet. 
What is it? Gluten-Free!

That's right- Miley like a lot of stars- (Lady Gaga) has given up wheat and barley,
claiming it caused everything from sinus problems, allergies, stomach troubles,
thinning hair and extra weight in places they didn't want it.
And if you're thinking about going "gluten-free" make sure to check it out
with your healthcare provider first. Going gluten-free is confusing, difficult
and expensive.

So, do you want to be like Miley and continue to have banana bread
or some pancakes? If so, start by buying a new kind of flour,
that's not only good for, but gluten-free to boot.
The flour: Yellow pea flour made from yellow split flour.

And another benefit of this flour? It'll help you reduce your risk of
type II diabetes. White flour raises insulin levels too quickly and
raising your risk of contracting diabetes.

Find yellow pea flour online at FoodsMarket.com.
$4.20 for a 28 oz. bag.

How?
The next time your inner critic starts talking and criticizing you-
give your inner critic the voice of a smurf or Bart Simpson.

that instantly erases the bad feelings created by that harsh and judgemental
inner voice.

Katie Holme's Food Rxs To Boost Grades!

                             Foods That Boost Grades! 

Katie Holmes has gone through a lot these past few months,
and let's not forget that she still has to get Suri ready to start
school for the first time.
If you too, have a little one about to start school or a teenager
who has to go back,  send them off with foods that'll help
boost their grades.
The Foods:
a) Eggs-
Make a omelet with organic milk and some chopped up
broccoli. Eggs contain choline- a B vitamin that boosts IQ.
b) Toast-
Make sure to feed them bread made from quinoa, amaranth,
freekeh or millet. All are "ancient grains' and if you're child
is wheat intolerant, these four grains can help them health-wise
and learning-wise. Spread some "natural" peanut butter or almond
butter on the toast.
c) Juice- 
Grape or blueberry. Grape or blueberry juice sharpens recall.
Also make sure to feed kids grapes and blueberries.
d) Fish-
Yes, fish is brain food, it's also great for helping kids stay motivated
and focused. Fish increases grey matter in the areas of the brain
involved with mood and learning.
Kids who aren't fans of salmon or sardines, can have tuna (with a bread
mentioned above) and fish sticks (remove the breading).
e) Berries Pt/ 2-
Sprinkle some ground flaxseed over their cereal and finish it off
with some blue, black or raspberries. Flaxseed are brain boosters
and the blue and blackberries help your child develop "super" 
memory.

That's it- You may not be able to compete with Katie Holmes
on a lot of levels, but at least your kid(s) can compete with Suri 
in the intelligence department.

Prince William and Kate's Rx For Heart Health!

                           The Royals Rx For A Strong Heart! 

Prince William and Kate Middleton are different from royals 
in the past, how so?
They're affectionate, not just in private, but in public as well. 
And showing affection by holding hands, hugging and kissing for
a few seconds each day reduces your risk of heart disease considerably.

So, if you're in a marriage or relationship and the guy (or gal)
doesn't like to show affection, tell him or her that Prince William
shows affection and he'll probably never have a heart attack because
of it. That should change his or her mind.

Food Rx For Hollywood Smokers!

                Eat This If You Still Smoke! 

Hollywood the land of beautiful people also has a few stars
that still smoke. With the constant concern about looking
good and staying youthful, you think they'd quit ASAP. 
But that's not the case, stars like Jennifer Aniston,
Ben Affleck and Chelsea Handler quit a few yrs. ago,
or just recently.

 and Sean Penn are still doing it.
If you are still smoking like Sean, Whoopi or Scarlett make sure to 
eat the food that'll help protect your lungs.

The Food: Broccoli!

damaging inflammation triggered by tobacco smoke and slows
the development of a serious condition called COPD, 
or the long version-chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
And one more benefit of broccoli: It'll help you live to a ripe
old age.

So, if you're still smoking and don't plan on quitting, 
make sure to eat some broccoli a few times a week, and
if you have the e-mail addresses of Sean Penn and Scarlett
Johansson, please pass this info on to them.
As for Whoopi G. she's hates all vegetables.

Hollywood's Rx For Preserving Jeans!

                       Make Your Jeans Last! 

Hollywood like the rest of America loves to wear Jeans.
(Remember Brad Pitt in Thelma and Louise)?
Unfortunately, after getting a pair that fit and look just right,
they start to fade and deteriorate.
But luckily, there's a simple solution to preserve your jeans
and make them last and last.

The Simple Solution:
When you buy a new pair of jeans, don't wear them, 
instead put them in a big sink or basin, throw in 1/4 
cup of salt along with the same amount detergent and
cover them with cool water and leave them in overnight. 
The next day, follow with a short wash cycle using cold water
and a gentle detergent, then take them out and let them air-dry.
The salt locks in the blue or black dye, making them fade proof.

Kathy Griffin's Rx To Control Appetite!

                               Drink More Wine! 

This tip isn't really from Kathy Griffin, but from her mom.
Kathy Griffin-the outspoken comedienne makes no secret about her
mom's love affair with wine. Boxed wined to be exact, and why not-
she's over 90 yrs. of age, so it must be working.

Those out there that are frightened of the wine-due to calories,
are making big mistakes. Why? Having wine with your dinner
helps you consume less food and the compounds in wine block some
of the fat from your meal. And more good news: having a glass of wine
with your lunch or dinner means your 35% less likely to be overweight.

So, are you ready and willing to add a glass of wine to your meals?
If so, make sure to have only 1 glass of wine with your meal, (not before) 
and if you're still not convinced-look at French women and Teri Hatcher
(an admitted wine lover). Their love of the wine seems to be working.

The T.V. show "Say Yes To The Dress" is a popular show on
the TLC network. It helps brides-to-be pick out the perfect
wedding dress.

If you already have a wedding dress and would like it to last
for 5, 10 or even 50 yrs. do not just let it hang in your closet.
That's right- hanging it up for yrs. won't help preserve it and it may
even put your health in danger. How? Leaving it in the closet
and then leaving a window open, day after day,  the dress will only
collect dust and pollen. And if you or a family member suffers
from allergies or sinus problems, the dress will only make them worst.

So, if you want to keep that dress for your daughter or granddaughter,
do the following...
Lay the dress down, place some acid-free paper over it and fold it in thirds.
And then you may want to crumple some tissue paper in the shoulders and sleeves
of the dress to keep the shape. And finally, wrap it in a clean sheet and store it in
a drawer, a trunk, a shelf  or in a cabinet that has a door.

That's it- your tip for helping that wedding dress last for years and years.

Good Luck!

Fashion Runway's Rx To Help You Look Leaner!

                               Look Long and Lean Like A Model! 

Fashion Runway, the hit show on the Lifetime channel is still a big hit.
Hosted by model Heidi Klum, fans continue to watch it.
And why not, for budding fashion designers you may learn
a thing or two from the designers and the judges.

One thing you can learn and use in your everyday life is how to
dress to look leaner.
That's right- If you're carrying around 50 pounds or an extra
8 pounds there are some things you can do with your clothes, jewelry
and handbags to look thinner. 

Things like...
a) A Big Bag-
Carry a large tote, hobo or shoulder bag makes your torso
look smaller. And another helpful tip- choose one that's colorful,
or a pattern that stands out against your clothes.
For help choosing a big bag-go online to Fredala.com. They carry a
number of selections.
b) Choose The Right Jewelry-
Short necklaces and button earrings add to fullness to your face,
so exchange them for long, dangly earrings and drop pendant necklaces.
c) Match Them Up-
More specifically your panty hose to your shoes.
Wearing a nice pair of navy pumps? Slip on some navy tights to make your 
legs look a little longer and thinner.
d) Dress In One Color-
Do you enjoy wearing different colored shoes, blouses and tights?
Well, dress in one color is a guaranteed way to look taller and slimmer.
And no, it doesn't have to be black, try pairing a plum skirt with a matching
sweater, or top your darkest blue jeans with a sleek navy top.
e) Wear A Scarf-
A scarf helps your face look slimmer.  Slim your cheeks by draping
flowy scarf around your neck, making sure the ends hang in a vertical
line down your chest.
f) Pop Your Collar-
Never fasten the top button of a blouse or broadcloth shirt. The more of your
neck that shows, the slimmer you'll look.

Good Luck!

apply some to your face, neck and hands, lie back for
10 to 15 mins. and then wash off with a clean cloth.

Sex and The City's Rx To Control Frizzy Hair!

                                                   Humidity and Frizzies!
Does your hair take on the look of a scary witch in the Summer months?
Blame it on the humid temperatures and the unbearable heat.
Humidity causes the cuticle (the outer layer of the hair strand, which is made
of shingle-like scales) to open unevenly, resulting in an untamed and
unmanageable head of hair.

And if you think it only happens to you, you're wrong, it also happens
to one star from the hit series-"Sex and The City" can you guess which
star it is? If you said Sarah Jessica Parker-give yourself a hand.
Ms. Parker already has curly hair that's hard to manage, but
come Summertime it really gets out-of-control.

So, to get your mane under control and stop the frizzies- do the following...
Dampen your hands with cold water and run them over your hair, (the cold water
closes the shingles), then apply a pea-sized amount of glycerin-based pomade
from ends to roots. The glycerin "glues" down the outside of the cuticle for silky,
frizzy-free hair.

Not sure where to get glycerin-based pomades?
Look for a brand called Redken Water Wax 03 Shine Defining Pomade,
find it at Ulta stores,  price-$19 for a 1.7 oz bottle.

Good Luck!

your Red Carpet best, but don't forget your brows.

but did you know a lot of high-end salons employ people just to
take care of brows. And that's not all- new research says that fuller
eyebrows like fuller lips, help you look a lot younger.

If your brows need a little filling in to look softer and more natural,
look for the thin pencil from Maybelline called "Define-A-Brow.
(find the pencil at drugstores for $6.00).
The pencil gives you precise hair-like strokes.

After you've filled in the color, gently brush your brows with a spooly
brow brush or use a clean toothbrush.
This step is crucial to soften the color so your brow looks full, yet natural.

That's It- Your easy-to-read guide for more beautiful eyebrows.

Kim K's Rx For A Long Life!

                         Live Long Like Kim Kardashian! 

Living till 100, what does it take?
A good diet, good genes, or a serious exercise
regimen. It probably requires all of the above, and
then there are some things other than diet, exercise
or good genetics.

What is it?
Keeping some extra weight. Looking like Kim K,
and not Keira Knightley will add some 10 extra yrs.
to your life. People who carry 10 to 20 extra pounds
at middle age live about 7 yrs. longer than their thinner
sisters. Why is this so? A little extra padding bolsters
your immune system, making it easier to fend off illnesses.

Another plus...the extra weight around your thighs and
buttocks help you in the event of a fall, which means it'll
be harder to break a hip or your tailbone.

So, if you've been obsessing over those last 10 or 20 lbs.
stop worrying- they (the pounds) may help you live a little longer.

Good Luck!
