Natural Hair Care Tips For The Older Actress!

                                        Maintain Your Hair As You Get Older! 

You may have heard- many actresses will do any and everything to hold
onto their youth.
Wait, you're shocked by this?
Don't be, they consider their faces and bodies the machines (or equipment)
that makes them those high salaries, so they have to keep that equipment 

in tip-top shape. 

The latest news out of Hollywood is that one star (popular in the 80's and
early 90's) is tired of fighting this battle and has decided to let nature
take its course and let the grays come through and the lines on her face show.
That's right, no more hair coloring, no more Botox or fillers,
or hrs. doing Pilates.
The star: Demi Moore. 


It's rumored her younger boyfriend and kids conducted an intervention
and let it be known that she'll continue to be beautiful even with
gray hair and wrinkles around her eyes and upper lip, so please
stop it. And if you're like Ms. Moore and are going through
the same thing (you know- frequent trips to the hairdresser) there's
something you can do that's safer, cheaper and less time consuming. 


What is it?
Use Food!
Try using foods from your local supermarket to help keep your hair 

looking like it's in its late 20's or early 30's.
For decades- many women have relied on foods to help keep their manes looking
youthful, and it (food) should be able to do the same for you as well.
Important tip: Before starting any of the natural remedies listed below,
you must eat a diet that's as close to nature as possible,
in other words, frequent trips to Mickey D's, Pizza Hut and
Krispy Kreme will only hurt your odds of having great looking hair.

First up, the onion treatment. 
More specifically- red onions for thick and luxurious hair.
You may have heard about onions for great looking hair,
but some researchers say red onions work best.
To make an onion mask all you have to do is peel a red onion
and then run it through a juicer or blender.
Strain it and then apply the onion juice to your clean hair.
Make sure you don't have nay cuts or bruises as onions will sting
and leave it on for 20 to 30 mins. You may want to place a shower
cap on to hold the onion juices in. 

After the 30 mins. are up- wash out the onion juice using your 
favorite shampoo.
Save any leftover juice (place in clean jar) refrigerate it and
use 2 to 3 times a week. 


Next up, a tip from Russia.
A young woman from Russia moved to the U.S. as a young girl
and at 16 she got a job as a camp counselor.
She loved the job but didn't love what all of that Sun did to her hair...
It made it dry and limp.
Luckily, she remembered a tip her grandmother used to make 

hair thick, shinny and luxurious--the tip...
Get 2 pieces of pumpernickle bread, place them is a shallow dish, 

add some water (enough to cover the bread) wait until
all the water is absorbed and then apply to your scalp. 

Put on a shower curtain and  sit still for 20 mins. after that,
shampoo your hair as you normally would.
Do this 2 to 3 times a week for best results. 


And now to reversing or even preventing gray hair.
Allowing the gray hair to show is what frightened Ms. Moore the
most, (according to insiders) and if you're starting to see some 

grays and are totally opposed to chemically harsh dyes,
head to the supermarket and pick up some black sesame seeds
and blackstrap molasses.
Many women and (men) are seeing their hair return to their normal
colors after eating these 2 foods.
Add them to smoothies or bowls of oatmeal.
Black sesame seeds are very popular in Asian countries and this may explain
why you don't see 
many grey-haired Asians.
You may also want to try wheat grass, one woman
said she had a shot of wheatgrass juice starting in her 50's and 

today at 70, she still doesn't have any gray hair.
Go online to learn more about wheatgrass juice (even how to grow
your own) and keep your hair looking ten or more yrs. younger. 


That's it- for now, and hopefully at a later time, there will be more on food and haircare,
like how giving up carbs may prevent discoloration and thinning.

One last tip: You may want to head to Amazoncom/the kindle store
and type Hollywood Beauty in the search bar.
Download it and learn how some top Hollywood makeup artists
help a number of stars look way younger than their actual ages.
You;ll learn about both hair and makeup tips.

Good Luck!

Singer's Food Rx To Slow Down Aging!

                       A Moroccan Dish To Slow Down Aging! 

 If you're really into pop culture, more specifically Mariah Carey news--
then you know her twins are named Monroe and Moroccan, and 
if you love good food, especially Moroccan food, then you'll love this dish.

The dish: 
Moroccan Beef and Sweet Potato Stew!
And what's so special about this dish?
It'll help you turn back the clock ( on aging) and reduce your odds of getting 

heart disease, some cancers and diabetes. 
That's right, a beef dish that'll help live longer and look younger?\
Yes, beef can be a dirty word in health-conscious California, 
but it's simply not true.
The beef, spices and herbs in this dish cut down on AGEs in your system, 
and what are AGEs? 

AGEs form when excess sugars bind to --and damage--proteins in your system
and keeping AGEs at minimal levels helps keep skin firm and smooth, while also 
lowering your odds of getting serious illnesses and diseases. 

So, are you hungry? Ready to look and feel younger?
Okay then, here's the recipe....
Moroccan Beef and Sweet Potato Stew! 

Ingredients: 
3 Tbs. all-purpose flour
2 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. salt 

1/2 tsp. cayenne 
1/2 cup raisins
3 lbs. beef stew meat, cut into 1' to 1 1/2" pieces
3 sweet potatoes peeled and cut into 1" cubes
1 can of tomatoes, diced, about 15 or 16 oz.
Couscous or rice, cooked about 2 cups, placed on a platter
toasted almonds and chopped parsley, 2 to 3 Tbs. 

salt- 1/2 tsp.
-------------------------------------------------
Directions:
Combine the first 3 ingredients and place into a slow cooker-
a 3 1/2 to 5 1/2 Qt,  add the raisins, beef, and sweet potatoes,
stir to coat evenly,. Throw in the tomatoes, cover and let the slow cooker go
for 8 to 9 hrs. After the 8 or 9 hrs. are up, check to make sure the potatoes
and beef are fork tender, add extra salt if necessary
 allow the food to sit for 10 to 15 minutes and then ladle the beef, potatoes and 

tomatoes over the Hot cooked rice or couscous.
And if you want this dish to look decorative, add the almond slivers and 

chopped parsley.
That's it's and if you're wondering- can this dish be made in a regular
soup or stock pot, it can, but cooking beef at low temperatures help 

lower the AGEs. 
Also helpful: eat more spices, herbs, All-Bran and Fiber One (cereal alternatives
for those that don't eat meat) and fruits 
with the peels. Why? 
They too, like beef can decrease the number of AGEs in your system.

And one last tip: You can stir-fry foods as that only requires 1 to 5 minutes
of fast cooking, certainly not a lot of time for AGEs to develop.

That's it- another great dish for those who want to look and feel younger,
without having to spend the money (like stars) to do so. 


Good Luck!

Beauty Solution For The Hand Cam!

                               Turn Back The Clock On Your Hands! 

If you're truly a fan of award shows, then you may know all about the "Hand Cam" 

what is it? It's a camera set up so stars can show off their bling on social 
media sites.
It's a little different than the usual non-stop chatter we get about
"what the stars are wearing."

And now that some red carpets have this feature, some stars don't want any part of 

it. Why you ask?
Unlike the face, the hands age more quickly and a few stars still want you to think 

they're forever 25.
One of those stars: Jennifer Aniston!

That's right, on a recent award show, Ms. Aniston was asked by interviewer
Maria Menonous if she would show her hands to the camera and Ms.
Aniston said NO. Not a little no, but a big emphatic No. 

Now, you may know that her costar Courtney Cox has had issues with 
her hands, so much so, she even asked Ellen D. for advice on what to do,
but Jennifer Aniston, we thought she'd never age.

Well, if  your hands are starting to look older than the rest of you
and you want to do something other than surgery (fat injections)
try out a new moisturizer.
The new moisturizer:
Crabtree & Evelyn Citron, Honey and Coriander
Ultra-Moisturizing Hand Therapy, price- $8.00
find it online at-Crabtree-Evelyn.com.
The moisturizer contains the herb Coriander and it (the herb)
thickens the skin by boosting collagen production.

That's it, and don't forget this Sunday is the Oscars.
Let's see if the "hand cam" is present on this red carpet.

Good Luck!

Dr. Phil's Rx For Beautiful Skin!

                      Turn Back The Clock! 

If you're a fan of Dr. Phil, then you're well aware of the
close connection he has with his wife, Robin.
Robin McGraw is sitting in the audience Monday through
Friday.
And if you think her only job is supporting Dr. Phil
by sitting in the audience, you're wrong.

Robin McGraw is very involved in aging.
Anti-aging to be exact. How involved?
She just unveiled her new line of cosmetics
and by the looks of her, the cosmetic line is working,
Robin McGraw turned 60 this yr. 

And if you want to look 10 to 15 yrs. use the product
that's found in Mrs. McGraw line of cosmetics.

The product: 

Edelweis!
It's a flower that only grows in high altitudes and it
can help slow down the cell damage that causes wrinkles
and other signs of aging.
Edelweis, is packed with its own version of SPF that helps 

block out the Sun, wind and pollution that causes skin to
age faster. Plus, it also has antioxidants and anti-inflammatory
compounds that slow down skin aging.

So, if you want to turn back the clock like Mrs. Phil McGraw, 

look for 2 products that contain the healing flower known as
Edelweiss. The 2 products: Organix Cosmetix Organic Lifting
Serum or try Barbour Baborganic Pure Energizing Skin Water,
find both products at Amazon.com.
Or look for Edelweis tea and drink according to package directions.
Or help Robin McGraw get her line of cosmetics off to
a rousing success and buy her beauty products.

Good Luck!

Pop Diva's Rx For Looking Younger!

                   Forever Young Like Britney! 

Do you remember the Rod Stewart hit--"Forever Young?"
Well, Britney Spears knows it and she doesn't just know the
song, she's trying to achieve it.
Say what?

Ms. Spears admitted in an interview that she goes to a doctor
to get injections, pills and advice on looking younger.
Ms. Spears is only 32 yrs. old and getting shots in and around the face,
only increases your risk of looking like an exotic cat in a few yrs.
If you're 22, 32 or 42, why not allow your Supermarket to help 

keep you young.
The supermarket?

Yes, foods that'll help keep you looking younger than your
actual yrs. The foods: 

1) Orange Foods- 
Often left out of the discussion on maintaining and turning
back the clock are foods like...Carrots, Butternut and Acorn squash,
apricots and sweet potatoes. These foods are rich in vitamin A and
beta-carotene, 
nutrients that are important to keeping skin smooth
an firm. Sweet potatoes and carrots also help protect your skin
from the Sun's harmful rays. 

2) Citrus Fruits-
Popular this time of yr. oranges, clementines, tangerines
and grapefruit can help stimulate collagen levels, preventing
the skin from sagging and losing moisture.
3) Oily Fish-
Fish like sardines, salmon, trout, bass, mackerel and tuna
may be the no. 1 food fighter against early aging.
How important is fish? Fish can not only keep your skin
as tight and firm as a snare drum, it can also help
keep it firm in other places like...arms (no Bat wings)
the thighs and the hard to lose spot called the Stomach. 

In fact, in some parts of Spain, women use sardines as a facial 
mask, that's right- remove them from the can and let them sit
on their faces. There's no need to do that, eating them will 

do just fine. Also look for books written by Nicholas Perricone.
M.D. he writes about aging, especially the importance of eating fish.
4) Make A Mask-
A woman heard about apples and youthful skin and then came up 

with a mask. The mask: Peel an apple, rinse it off and then slice
it up and place the slices in a small saucepan. Cover the
apples with milk, heat the apples for a few minutes.
Remove from the heat, let the slices cool and place in a bowl. 

Grab a comfortable chair, lie back and place the apple slices
on your face and neck, leave on for 15 to 20 mins.
Finish up by removing the apple slices and then rinsing your
face off with warm water.
And yes, it's still a good idea to eat apples.
They're "Natural Diet Pills!"
And the women who recommended this tip- she still looks 10 to 15 

yrs. younger than her real age of 70.
Avocados also work, but are more expensive and make a big mess.
5) Eggs-
People are still frightened of eggs, but wearing them works as well
as eating them, if staying young is a goal. Reread the post--Deborah Norville's
Rx To Staying Young!"

That's it- 5 great tips to help you save money, stay out of the cosmetic
surgeon's office and look younger than your real age.
Please do us a favor and pass this info on to Ms. Britney.
Someone has to save her.

Good Luck!

The Latest Rx For Youthful Hands!

                          Stop The Aging Process On My Hands! 

Some Hollywood stars love to flaunt how young and vibrant they still feel.
That may be true if you look at their faces or bodies, but get a shot of their
hands and the actual truth will be revealed.

What kind of truth?
The truth of their real ages. Hands- like elbows, the eyes and necks have thin skin 

on them, therefore making them age much more rapidly than the skin on your cheeks,
(both sets of cheeks)  the back, and your legs, and that's why you must pay
special attention to those areas. 

Recently, a new product came out and it'll help you reverse some of that aging 
and the best part- it doesn't require you to dip into your bank account.
The Rx:
A hand cream, called Garnier Skin Renew Dark Spot Hand Treatment,
price $8.00. The product is fortified with vitamin C (which is necessary to
help new skin cells develop and fade those pesky age spots). Plus, it
has sunscreen, to help keep future age spots away.
Use this product for a few weeks, and you should see a noticeable difference
in your hands.

And if you want something natural,  (like rice water or buttermilk)
look for the natural solutions we've posted in the past.

Wendy Williams' Rx For Slowing Down Aging!

                    Stop The Aging Process! 

Wendy Williams, the extremely popular T.V. host is gaining in popularity-
thanks to her easy-breezy monlogue in the beginning and her mix of
cooking segments, gossip and interesting guests.
One thing Ms. Williams loves to do, may not only help put
you in a better mood, it may also help slow down the aging process. 

What is it?
Using the DVR.

That's right- Not really using the DVR, but watching a certain type of
show on the DVR is what's really responsible for slowing down the aging process. 

Ms. Williams always says that her busy schedule prevents her from watching her
favorite shows, so she has someone DVR them and she watches them later.
And if you aren't able to watch your favorites, just make sure to record them
and get back to them later.

Oh wait- there's one more catch- what is it?
Make sure the shows are comedies, why? Laughter prompts the brain to produce
an incredible 85% of the anti-aging hormone. This hormone will boost the production
of skin-firming collagen, make muscles and bones stronger, give your heart a workout
and keep your moods upbeat and positive. 


So, if you're looking to turn back the clock and be more like Wendy Williams-
(she'll be 50 in a yr.). remember to DVR-I Love Lucy, Seinfeld, the
monologues from Jimmy Kimmel , Jimmy Fallon and the hot new sitcom,
Modern Family and 
you'll be on your way to looking and feeling 10 or
more yrs. younger.


Good Luck!

Food Rx For Women Over 40!

                           Turn Back The Clock On Your Hands!

Women who are over 40 in Hollywood seem to be doing very well these days.
Women like Sarah Jessica Parker, Sandra Bullock, Julia Roberts
and Jennifer Aniston, yet this wasn't always the case. 

In fact, if you were a woman and over 40, the roles were few
and far between.

The change happened for a few reasons...some movies starring women 

earn just as well as movies starring men, (The Blind Side, Bridesmaids)
more women have important roles like directors and producers and perhaps
the biggest change- women take better care of themselves and that helps
them when they have to play a character who's 10 to 15 yrs younger.
But, no matter how good they look for their age, there's one part of aging
that a lot of women can't escape, what is it?
Brown Spots.

And stars like Madonna, Sarah J. Parker and Courtney Cox have said that
they eat right and exercise and yet the unsightly spots have affected them.
If you a regular woman out there is also bothered by age spots and don't want or
can't afford the pricey treatments available out there,
head to your supermarket and pick up the dairy product
that can help those age spots fade away naturally.

What dairy product?
Buttermilk!
That's right- the stuff mom or grandmom used to give biscuits or pancakes
a little extra zing, can now help you turn back the clock...on your hands, 

back or face.

Buttermilk contains mild acids that safely and gently slough away the top layers
of skin and help reduce the brown spots as effectively as a drug store remedy
or the laser equipment in a cosmetic surgeon's office.
To use: On your day off or when you have a few moments to yourself,
dab some buttermilk on the tops of your hands, leave on for 10 mins.
and then rinse off. Repeat a few times a week.
Also effective- Chamomile tea, (brew and then cool) and place on your hands
like the buttermilk. Or mash up some chickpeas, and add some buttermilk or
cham. tea or lemon juice to them and place the mixture on your hands
for 10 to 12 mins.

That's it- a simple remedy to help your hands, back and face look as good 

and youthful as the rest of you.

Good Luck!

Kelly Ripa's Exercise Rx To Stop Aging!

                         Exercise Like Kelly Ripa!
Pilates was all the rage about 5 to 7 yrs. ago, but it's not as popular
as it was once, and that's too bad. But not if Kelly Ripa has anything
to do with it, she's a big proponent of Pilates, and it must be working-
she'll be 43 in Oct.
And if you are worried about aging and want to do something
about it like Ms. Ripa, try these 3 moves and turn back your own clock. 

The 3 moves are actually more like stretches and they strengthen
your muscles and stimulate the body to produce growth hormones
that help reverse the aging process.
Exercise no. 1-
The Stretch That Turns Back The Clock-
Sitting with knees bent, left foot touching right thigh and right foot
bent behind you, stretch with your right arm overhead and lean to your
left, keeping hips stationary. Hold for a count of 10, then rise to center and
and repeat on the other side. Start with 1 set and then work your way up
to 3 sets in the coming wks.

Exercise no. 2-
Twist The Years Away-
Sitting with legs stretched apart, raise your arms out to your sides at
shoulder-level. Moving from your waist, twist your body to your right,
bringing your left arm to touch your right foot. Hold for a count of 10, return
to center, then twist to your left and repeat. Start with 1 set and work up to
3 sets in the coming weeks.

Exercise no. 3-
A Bridge To Youthfulness-
Lying on your back with knees bent, feet flat and arms at your side,
exhale and tense your abs as you lift your hips off the floor.
Hold for a count of 10, inhale and lower your body down.
And like the other exercises- start with 1 set.
Another benefit of this exercise- it works like Viagra-for both men and
women, and with Valentine's day coming up- every little thing will help.

That's it- And we can't guarantee that you'll look as young as Kelly Ripa, 

we will guarantee you'll feel more energized and youthful. 

Good Luck!

Drugstore Rx For Youthful Hollywood Skin!

                             Turn Back The Clock...On Your Face! 

Kelly Ripa the host of "Live With Kelly" just announced that she's
loves Botox. She said- "whenever my kids say that I look angry, 

I'll call my Doctor for more Botox."
Big mistake, Ms. Ripa- Using botox at such a young age
and on a regular basis can cause more wrinkles. 


How? When you inject something into any part of the body,
especially the face, you risk the parts of the face nearby
of collapsing, making it look like you have more wrinkles. 

If you would like to try something inexpensive, something Moms
around the U.S. used and available at drugstores, continue reading.

That something: Pepto Bismal!
Yup, the bright pink stuff that mom or grandma fed you to help with
your upset stomach can actually turn back the clock.
Pepto Bismal contains salicylic acid, which helps shed some of your
dead skin cells and when you wash it away, it leaves behind
a smoother and more youthful appearance.

So, are you willing to try the Pepto Bismal facial?
If so, head to your local drugstore and pick up a bottle.
More tips- make sure to try some on your hand (topside)
to see if any redness occurs, if you don't see any redness,
apply some to your face, neck and hands, lie back for
10 to 15 mins. and then wash off with a clean cloth.

For more on the Pepto Bismal facial-look for the book,
Age-Defying Beauty Secrets-by Diane Irons.

Good Luck!

Turn Back The Clock Rx From Jennifer Aniston!

                               Stay Young Like Jennifer Aniston!
It was rumored that Jennifer Aniston had a salad for lunch the whole time
she filmed Friends.
Why is that news? A meal of mostly vegetables, not
only keeps weight down, but helps you stave off the aging process
as well. And since Ms. Aniston turned 42 a few months ago,
the daily salad may explain the reason why she
looks ten to twelve younger than her age.

But, let's be honest, a salad isn't the only reason,
it's also exercise, a healthy bank account, doing a job
she loves and frequent trips to the spa.

And the salad.
If Ms. Aniston had a salad with romaine lettuce, then
the youthful appearance makes sense. Read on...

Romaine lettuce is packed unique antioxidants
that heal and strengthen internal cells, helping to
keep wrinkles and sagging at bay.
And the water in romaine lettuce will prevent
the skin from drying out.
So, are you willing to eat more salad to look younger?
Well, if it works for Jenn Aniston, then it can work for you.
And also remember...to eat right the rest of the day,
a salad will not negate the effects of donuts, bagels,
4-cheese pizza and foot long hot dogs.

Good Luck!
