J Lo's Scent Rx To Control Cravings!

                                   Control Your Cravings Like JLo! 
Jennifer Lopez, aka JLo is like a lot of women, she has to watch her calories
and that means keeping cravings under control. How does she do it?
With a form of therapy that's been around for hundreds of yrs, but 
is quickly becoming more popular here in the U.S.
The alternative therapy: Aromatherapy!

That's right- taking in the scent of a certain plant, fruit or food
can help you sleep, reduce anxiety levels and control cravings.
And JLo being into alternative types of therapy, stumbled upon
grapefruit as a way to control her cravings.

Why grapefruit? Researchers say that the oil from the grapefruit's 
skin stimulates nerve responses in the GI tract that reduce appetite.
Something even better...These oils activate nerves within fat tissue to
aid the breakdown of fat.
And another benefit of grapefruit scent: women who wore a perfume
with the grapefruit scent were thought to be a few yrs. younger than 
their actual age while they were at bars or single clubs.

So, if you need help controlling yourself around the pies, cookies,
and other treats this holiday season, do like JLo and buy a bottle of grapefruit
essential oil, (one to try-C.O. Bigelow-Essential Oil) find it
at Bigelowchemists.com, $9 for a 25 oz. bottle. And when a craving
strikes- take out your bottle and take a deep whiff.
Another food that also works and costs a little less... is Vanilla extract. 

That's it- And if you need to take off a few pounds, (especially around your 
midsection) check out the Dec. issue of "First For Women" with Marie
Osmond on the cover. The grapefruit diet has been improved and is helping
women lose weight easily and effortlessly.

Good Luck!

J Lo's Beauty Rx To Prevent Stretch Marks!

                                   Look Like An American Idol Judge!
Jennifer Lopez, the still stunning 42 yr. old judge on American Idol
is still able to strut her stuff in a bikini-how?
Cocoa!
That's right- but it's not from drinking it, she actually wears it.

Cocoa-first discovered by the Mayans, nearly 2,000 yrs ago,
can be used for everything from smoothing scars and calluses
and to nourish dry skin.
Cocoa's natural fats melt at body temperature, so they're readily
absorbed into the skin. And the antioxidants in cocoa, help fortify
the skin's protective layer to retain moisture and improve
elasticity.

So, if you want skin like a Mayan goddess or you want to ward
off stretch marks like Hollywood goddess- J Lo, try cocoa butter.
J Lo's favorite brand: The Body Shop Cocoa Butter Body
Butter, price- $25 for 7 oz. Find it online at the BodyShop.com.

Good Luck!
