Oprah's Spa Rx To Look Younger!

               Look Younger With A Spa Treatment! 

Oprah, like Christie Brinkley and Howard Stern turned
60 this past week.
And Oprah said that she was going to have a party to
end all parties and then, she changes her mind.

Oprah may not be having a big 60th blowout, but she'll
probably continue to indulge in one of her favorite
activities, what is it?
Heading to a Spa.
That's right, when you have Billions in the bank, getting
spa treatments is one of the greatest joys in life.

But what about the rest of us, who are financially challenged?
You can be like Oprah, and do your own version
of an at-home spa treatment.
An at-home spa treatment?
Yes, and get this, this spa treatment may turn back the clock.

That's right- A hot cocoa facial.
Hot cocoa is loaded with antioxidants called flavonols, 

and flavonols, can slough off dead skin cells and moisturize 
the skin as well, and if you're concerned about dry, flaky
skin this Winter, this is the facial for you. 

The Ingredients:
2 tbsp. of cocoa (real cocoa)
2 tbsp. of yogurt )plain)
1 tbsp. of honey
Directions:
Mix all 3 ingredients together and apply to a clean, 

dry face and neck. Lie back in a comfortable chair
for 15 to 20 mins.
After the 20 mins. are up, head to the bathroom and rinse 

off with warm water and pat your face dry.
Do this once or twice a week.
Or skip the mixing, and look for a product called Montagne
Jeunesse Chocolate Mud Masque, price $3.00, online at 

Ulta.com.

That's it- the at-home spa treatment for those who are
challenged...financially. And one more tip- cocoa can be
worn, but make sure to drink some as well, you'll be
doing double-duty to help turn back the clock.

Good Luck!

Coco's Cocoa Rxs For Better Health!

                            Drink More Cocoa! 

Are you a fan of the hit reality show Ice loves Coco?
It's a big hit for the E network, and it's ready to come back for another
season.

Coco, not only has a great nickname, but the beverage hot cocoa can
also boost your health. How? Continue reading and learn...
a) Reverse Sun Damage-
Although most people aren't concerned about Sun damage this time of yr.
there are folks who in some states where the beaming rays of the Sun
is still a concern. And luckily, there's cocoa. Have a cup or two a day,
to heal and repair the Sun damage you may be going through.
And drinking it also helps smooth out skin and get rids of facial redness. 

b) Prevent Alzheimer's-
Concerned about losing memory as you age? Prevent it with a cup or two
of cocoa a day. Cocoa has flavonoids that open up blood vessels, boosting
the flow of oxygen and nutrients to brain cells and cutting your risk of early
brain aging by 35%.
c) Help For Coco-
Coco went through a rigorous physical exam during the last season, 

what did she find out? Her blood pressure was too high for someone her age. 
And if she wants to lower it she may want to try the product with the 
same namesake... Cocoa!
That's right- as you read about cocoa helping to prevent brain aging, it can
also help boost blood flow to all organs, including the heart and a better
working heart means blood pressure goes down. Plus, she may want to
add more sesame oil to veggie stir-fries and salads which will
bring it down as well.

So, if you're a hot cocoa lover, now you have a few more reasons to love it.
And if do plan on adding it to your your daily regimen, remember these tips...
* make sure you buy cocoa that's 70% dark chocolate, (NO Nestle or Swiss Miss)
go online to SwansonVitamins.com and buy their brand.
* make sure to leave out the danish, doughnuts, scones, bagels and other baked
goods, or you'll undo the good benefits of the cocoa.
* and if you're not a fan of the drink- perhaps you can buy cocoa in supplement
form. One to try: CocoaWell and Full Spectrum Cacao. 450 mg. day.

Good Luck!
