Although the holidays like Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Year's day are long gone, it doesn't mean overindulging is over. That's right- Now we have Easter and if you've been eating salty and sweet snacks, it'll probably show up on your face. But don't despair, going back to meals of lean meat, fish, fruits and vegetables will have you looking your best in no time. And there's something else that may help, what is it? A facial mask. Yes, the always reliable cucumber and some plain yogurt can help reduce the puffiness in your face. To make: Place about 5 slices of cucumber and 2 tbs. of plain yogurt in a blender. Blend until smooth, lie back in a chair and apply to the face and neck. Leave on for 15 to 20 mins. and then rinse off with warm water. The cucumber and yogurt are cooling agents that reduce inflammation.
That's it- A simple Rx for the post-Easter Holiday.

Hollywood has always embraced the alternative lifestyle. Whether it's diet, an exercise program or something totally out of the ordinary like-astrology or numerology. And since astrology is so 70's, numerology has moved to the front of the line-in terms of predicting the future or using it for healing. A expert in numerology now says that knowing yours and your loved one's special number can help you make your love as strong as a reinforced bank vault.
So, are you interested? Want to know how to use numerology to figure out if your marriage or relationship will last? Well, look below to get started... To find your "love" numbers just add up the numbers of your wedding date, and if you're not married-use a significant date or day you first said "I love you" or the time you got engaged. For example- If you were married Sept, 15 2005, you're going to add up each number individually. 9 (Sept, is the ninth month) + 1+5+2+0+0+5= 22. Now add up the 2+2 which is 4. 1) You like being in charge, but you'll have to let go and learn to share some of the responsibilities. Make sure to use we instead of me and use the word couple and our(s) to remind yourself that you're a couple. 2) The opposite of no. 1- you have to think more like an individual. Self-nurturing is the key if you want to remain a couple and not focus so much on your partner. Give yourself permission to go out with girlfriends, or restore a car with your dad and brother. (Guys) Doing this helps you feel refreshed and you bring that excitement home. 3) Number threes have a lot of energy, and that energy comes out in scheduling a lot of things together- bike rides, rock climbing and hitting a number of clubs on the weekends. To slow down and enjoy each other, schedule things that don't require a lot of energy, reading the Sunday paper together, or having a dinner with just the 2 of you. 4) Four is all about stability, like Prince William and Kate, and this means your in it for the long haul. And the two of you knowing that it's meant to last, means you may take each other for granted and stop doing the little things. Little things like...writing each other notes, making coffee or tea for another or sending sexy text messages, so make sure to do the little things to keep your marriage or relationship strong. And now that you have 4 love tips to make your love everlasting and unbreakable, why not learn what the numbers 5 thru 9 mean, how? By going to Amazon.com, and picking up a copy of Will and Kate- A Royal Love Story, The Love Rxs For A Divorce-Proof Marriage. Available today in the kindle store. Purchasing a copy allows us to take the time to find more great alternative remedies for your health, love life, and career. Thank-You!
On the T.V. show Extra- they did a story on ways to lose weight. One of their tips was juicing. It's all the rage right now, and if you fell it'll help, by all means do it. Another tip not from the show, but from diet counselors or a weight loss guru like Jillian Michaels.
The tip: Remove processed food, white foods like bread, crackers, pastries, spaghetti and rice. They also suggest reading labels and looking for foods that say trans-fats or glucose, sucrose or fructose. make sure to avoid these types of foods as well. But there are some other foods, "diet busters" that weight loss counselors forget to mention, what foods are they? a) Dried Fruit- 1 cup of raisins has 460 calories and a cup of grapes has 60. And fruit juice like orange has the equivalent of 12 tsps. of sugar. And one whole orange is about 80 calories. b) Granola- Yes, we know it's favorite for a lot of people, but 1 cup has 600 calories and about 30 grams of fat. Eat a bowl of Cheerios instead. c) Yogurt- Do you like sweetened yogurt? Well, it has 3 tsps. of sugar. Opt for a cup of plain yogurt and add 1/2 banana or 1/2 apple or an orange.
That's it- Some other diet-busting foods that are often overlooked.
And if you're a fan of Prince William and Kate- Then you know they'll be married for 2 yrs. at the end of April.

As we mentioned in the past, Jessica Alba has gone green. We're not talking about separating cans from bottles on thrash day, but totally green. She's now developing products that protect your health and the environment. If Jessica Alba was going to advise a rapper or anyone who loves wearing gold on natural ways to clean it, she'd tell them to... Get out a large bowl, mix 1 part dish detergent, (Try Dawn) and 5 parts warm water. Put your gold in the bowl, leave it for 2 to 3 hrs. and then scrub it with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Rinse the gold off and then dry with a clean towel. And to finish up the cleaning process-polish it with a jewelry cloth. That's it- Although this tip isn't really from Ms. Alba, we're sure this is the same advice she'd give all you owners of gold jewelry.

Look below, and learn how to pick up on those signals and save yourself from a life of unhappiness and heartache. a) His Hands- Reveal his temperament. If he touches your the side of your arm, that's a friendly gesture. If he touches your elbow, he may be trying to manipulate you, and touching your shoulder can be a sign of dominance. b) His Smile- Reveal his motives. If his mouth turns up on both sides, it's sincere. If the lips go straight out, that's called fake facing and there's a chance it may not be sincere. Look for different smiles and get an idea of what kind of person he is. c) His Hair- Reveals his personality! Look at his hair and if the part is on the left, he's logical and assertive. And those who part their hair on the right is a creative noncomformist. and parting it right down the middle- means he's balanced and good at making sure the relationship works. d) His Chin- Reveals if he's sincere.

But if he puts a finger on his chin and mouth-he's either skeptical of you-or he could be telling you a lot of white lies. e) His Feet- Reveal if he's ready to commit. The direction a person's feet are facing signal which way they'd like to run. If his feet are facing away from you, he may not be listening to a word you're saying.

That's right- some stars out there are willing to use things that are available from the supermarket. Look below and find out which stars want to postpone aging and save their money. a) Miranda Kerr- Supermodel and wife of actor Orlando Bloom uses lip gloss.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck of the T.V. show-"The View" revealed that she loves getting manicures with gel nail polish. Unfortunately, there's a problem with these types of manicures, what is it? You need to hold your fingers under special UV lights, and doing it for months or even yrs, raises your risk of skin cancer.
Yes, it's the same as lying on a tanning bed, but it's not your body that's exposed, it's your hands. And if you're a fan --like Ms. Hasselbeck, there's a safer alternative.

With the at-home kit, you apply a coat of "activator" before the gel, then let the two meet and mingle and this creates a rock-hard finish that rivals any professional manicure. Brand to try: Nutra Nail Gel Perfect, price $12.00.
