With Halloween fast approaching that means candy, candy and more candy for many. 
But if you're like some stars and conscious about your weight (and teeth) you may
want to forgo eating the candy this yr. and just wear it.
Wear it?
Yes, not actual candy, but ingredients that are similar to Halloween candy.
For instance, do you love Almond Joy bars?
Well, make a body scrub using ingredients that make up the Almond joy bar.
Not sure how? Continue reading for a recipe. 

The Almond Joy Exfoliating Scrub!
Ingredients:
1 cup raw turbinado sugar (or brown sugar)
1/2 cup coconut oil
2 tsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
1 tsp. almond extract
--------------------------------------------------
Directions:
Stir all ingredients together. Place the scrub in a large reclosable jar. 
And when you're ready to take a bath or shower, step into the shower, dampen 
skin and massage the scrub over your face, (avoid the eyes) your shoulders,
your legs and sit down and get to your feet.
After that, turn on the water and shower, using a non-drying soap.
Then, dry off and apply your moisturizer.
Store the leftover scrub in a cool dark place and do it (a body and facial scrub)
once or twice a week. 
---------------------------------------------------------
That's it- and remember, some stars are paying thousands to get this 
done at top notch spas, but not you, you're only paying a few dollars.

Good Luck!

Young Hollywood's Rx For Youthful Skin!

                      Keep Skin Youthful Like Selena and Eden!

No, that title isn't a misprint. Young Hollywood stars and their secrets for 
youthful skin.
As stars who are in the public eye, keeping one's looks healthy, youthful and
vibrant is vitally important.
And the 2 stars who embody this do it with food. Well, one food to be exact,
and the young stars: Eden Sher of the T.V. show "The Middle" and
actress, singer and bestie of Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez. 

You're probably thinking, they're only in their early 20's, what 
do they have to worry about?
A lot, if they plan on working in front of the camera for years and years.
And one of the ways these 2 are doing it, is with a certain fruit. 
What fruit is that?
Avocados!

Yes, it's a fruit because of the pit, and both women have pledged their
allegiance and love to this fruit.
Ms. Sher likes to eat it as it, a few slices, plain at lunch time or
break time, and as for Ms. Gomez, she likes it when it's made into her
favorite snack food: Guacamole.
And if you like it plain or mixed into a bowl with olive oil, spices
and chopped tomatoes, continue to enjoy it and postpone
aging for 5, 10 or even more yrs.

That's right-
Folks who eat this fruit on a regular basis have fewer wrinkles (or no wrinkles)
and a reduced risk of sagging, (the cheeks, jawline and neck) .
Avocados are rich in monounsaturated fats that relieve inflammation, while strengthening,
and healing muscles--the elastin and other structures that support the skin
and  keep your skin smooth, supple and wrinkle-free.

So, if you want to be more like Eden and Selena, make sure to eat more
of them and for those who aren't fans, wear them.
Yes, mash em up, add an egg yolk, a dash of olive oil and honey, 
mix well and apply this to your clean face, neck, and the back of your hands. 
After 15 mins. rinse the mask off with warm water and a mild soap.
More tips...
Buy them in bulk at places like Costo, B.J.s, Walmart or Aldi. 
Let them ripen, remove the peel and freeze them. 
And if you need some great recipes, go to Google.com or Pinterest
and type avocado-choc. smoothies or avocado salads, or low-cal guacamole dishes
in the search bar.

Good Luck!

Supermodel's Mom Rx For Looking Younger!

                         Drink This Look Younger! 

Miranda Kerr has been called 'one of the most beautiful woman in the World"
for over a decade.
And if you're truly a fan of the ex Mrs. Orlando Bloom then you know she also 
likes to share her secrets as to how she stays looking so beautiful with her fans.
But this post isn't about her or her diet and exercise secrets, it's
really about her mom. 
Her mom?
Yes, we're not sure if she raised Miranda on leafy greens, probiotic-rich
yogurts and whole grains, but we are sure that she Mrs. Kerr wants
in on some of the notoriety.

What notoriety? 
Instagram and Twitter notoriety.
Mom is sharing secrets as to how to keep yourself fit and youthful using only
natural methods.
You see, Mrs. Kerr is now posting her meals, beverage and exercise
secrets (online) to the masses as well.
And one of her secrets comes from the homeland of Charlize Theron
and it's been called "botox in a cup."
What is it?
It's Rooibos tea.

We may have mentioned Rooibos tea in a post (or two) in the past,
but it's needs to be brought up again, if staying youthful is on your agenda.
The red tea from South Africa keeps skin young thanks to its many antioxidants,
and anti-aging compounds, which slow down skin damage and aging.
Plus, the tea can protect against UV damage, pollution and free radical damage.
And there's more- it also fights dryness and improves your skin's texture,
which helped earn it the "botox in a cup" title.
And lastly, if you're skin is still youthful and firm, drink the tea to prevent
(and relieve) headaches and keep joints (knees, elbows, wrists) pain-free.

That's it- So if you want to look like Miranda or her 50 something yr. old 
mom, remember to drink your tea, Rooibos tea.
(Also visit Miranda Kerr's website).
Look for this tea at specialty tea stores, health-food stores or online
at Amazon.com.
And to enhance the flavor and the anti-aging benefits of the tea, add some
(cleaned) citrus peels to it.
Lemon, lime, orange and tangerine peel really fight the effects of the Sun
and help keep varicose veins away.

Good Luck!

Hollywood's Latest Rx For Youthful Skin!

                        A Close Shave For Women! 

You may have heard: The latest obsession for some Hollywood women: Shaving!
Yes, shaving of the face, just like men. With foamy shaving cream and a straight razor.
Why shaving? 
It reportedly helps you look 5 or more yrs. younger. 

In fact, supermodel Christie Brinkley revealed that when you she was told
that shaving was one of the reasons why men aged better than women, Ms. Brinkley
decided right then and there that she too would shave or do something like shaving
to slow down aging as well.
And what does Ms. Brinkley do specifically to take yrs. off her face?
She exfoliates, and she's not alone, T.V. host Nancy Odell (age 49)
and Queen Latifah, (age 44) also exfoliate. 

Ms. Brinkley hasn't said what she uses to exfoliate, but the Queen and
Nancy Odell use the 89 cent staple known as baking soda.
And even more shocking about this latest trend (shaving)...
it's rumored that Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor used a razor on their face
to knock off a few yrs way back in the 60's. 

So, if you want to stave off the aging process like some of your favorite stars, 
look into shaving or use baking soda or a drugstore scrub to do so.
And for those of you out there dead set against shaving, use the centuries-old
massage technique (known as acupressure) developed by the Chinese that'll help you
look 5 or more yrs. younger. 

To do it, stand or sit and place your hand around the base of your collarbone,
and then slide your hands straight up, until you reach the top of your neck.
Do it 10 times ( 5 times each hand)
And then, place both thumbs under your chin with thumbs pressed into your neck 
and slide the thumbs toward the front of your chin.
Do one thumb at a time, 5 times each thumb.
You must do this 2 to 3 times (for at least a month) to see results. 

Good Luck!

The View's Rx For Younger Looking Skin!

                           Turn Back The Clock! 

If you've been tuning into the T.V. show--"The View" then you're
well aware that Jenny McCarthy is now a regular panelist.
This morning, they had Dr. Phil on and they talked about Botox
for crow's feet. You may know about Botox being used for the region
between the eyes, but crow's feet?
Injecting anything to close to the eyes, could mean disaster down the road.
As the ladies talked, Whoopi asked "why do it"? And Barbara replied
"black doesn't crack" which means black skin lasts longer and then
Jenny mentioned she's had some work done. At 41, Ms. McCarthy may
seem too young, but if she's of European descent, then it means her skin is
thinner.

If you're of European descent, or under 40 or you just want to keep your
skin looking it's best, use the following food Rx. 
What is it?
Apples and milk.

We may have posted on this 2 food combo in the past, but it needs to be repeated.
A woman traveling overseas (to India)  noticed that a group of women, some in
their 20's, 30's 40's 50's and 60's all had beautiful skin, so she asked about their secrets
and was told- that they eat 1 to 5 apples everyday.
Apples for beautiful skin, she asked?
She came home, did some research and found out that it was true.
But she knew women in the U.S. weren't going to eat 3 to 5 apples a day.
So she researched and researched and came up with a mask that would work
just as well, and the best part: you don't have to eat any apples.

Her Apple Mask For Beautiful Skin.
Peel an apple, rinse it off and cut the apple into slices about 1/4 thick,
place the slices into a small saucepan and add 1/4 cup of milk.
Heat the apple and milk for about 3 mins. (do not let it boil) and then
remove from the heat. Let cool for a few mins.
Take the apple slices, find a comfortable chair and then place the
slices on your face (around the eyes as well) and neck and
back of hands (if you have extra).
Stay put for 15 to 20 mins. and then remove the apple slices,
Rinse off or wash your face and then add moisturizer.
Do this a few times a wk. and then once a week for maintenance.
And as the female traveler said, "if you start in your 20's you should
remain wrinkle-free for life."

Some more tips:
*Now that the apple season is here, stock up.
* If you're already wrinkled, it probably won't work.
* Avocados may work even better, but they're more expensive
   and a lot messier.
*And yes, eating them will also work, especially the peel,
  just make sure to wash them well.
* If you have buttermilk, use it, buttermilk helps remove age spots.
* Buy some apple cider this Fall, it helps prevents certain female cancers
    by 70%. Read more about it @SupermarketRxs@typepad.com

Julia Robert's Fruit Rx For Great Skin!

                           Eat Your Way To Better Skin! 

Although this tip isn't really from Julia Roberts, it does come
from the state where she grew up.
That's right- Julia Roberts is a proud lady from Georgia and
if you want skin like hers or Kim Basinger (another proud
Georgian) then you have to eat the fruit that's recognized
as the state's fruit. 

Can you guess it? It's a peach! A Georgia peach.
And according to new research, eating peaches a few times
a week, and you can "age-proof" your skin.
Peaches are rich in beta-carotene, which helps
block the breakdown of collagen, keeps the elasticity
in your skin and gives you a youthful, cherubic look.
And that's not all- Peaches are also able to protect
your skin from the Sun's harmful UV rays, and don't
forget that too much Sun causes wrinkles.

So, now that Summer is here, become more like Julia
and Kim, and eat your peaches.

Important tip: The skin of fruits and vegetables are good
for you, unfortunately many growers use pesticides
to protect the fruit. And those pesticides attach to the skins,
and when you eat those fruits-you eat the pesticides.
To counter this- you can buy organic or save your money and
really clean the outside of the fruit.

Want more info on foods that'll protect your skin from the
Sun's harmful rays? Head on over to Amazon.com/the kindle store
and order a copy of The Superfoods That Help You Prevent Breast
Cancer and Skin Cancer. Download it for the price of 2 pounds of
Fresh peaches.

Good Luck!

The Easter of 2013 has come and gone, and if you have any leftover
dark chocolate on hand and aren't sure what to do with it,
melt it down and have a spa day.

That's right- Hollywood and spa treatments seem to go hand-in-hand,
and the way the economy is going, it seems like the top earning stars
from Hollywood are the only ones able to afford a spa day.
Well, that's not necessarily true, all you need is a quiet place to
relax and some dark chocolate.
The dark chocolate facial is popular at a lot of spas and if you 
have some on hand, you to can make your own facial.


The Dark Chocolate Facial:
Melt some chocolate in the microwave, let cool and
then apply to your face and neck. Leave on for 15 mins. and
then rinse off with warm water and moisturize.

cells, reduce redness and cut UV damage by about 25%. 

Good Luck!

Paula Deen's Rx For Dry Winter Skin!

                       Beat Dry Winter Skin With A Food! 

If you haven't noticed Paula Deen has lost almost 40 lbs.
She's done it with some simple changes to her diet and eating
some of her favorites in moderation.

One of the foods that Ms. Deen used religiously was Crisco.
We're not sure if she still uses it or if she's found a suitable
replacement.
If you have Crisco in your pantry and have dry skin due to
the Winter weather, then use the Crisco to help eliminate
the dry skin.

Yes Crisco, known by some beauty insiders as a low cost
way to treat dry skin, The oils in Crisco contain molecules that act
as powerful shields to lock moisture in.
Fearful that'll it be too greasy? Don't be- just a small amount 
is necessary, apply it after a bath or shower.
Just make sure to really apply it to the parts of the body where the
skin is really thin, the knees, elbows, top of hands, the neck and
a little around the eyes.

That's it- And remember, using Crisco this way won't cause 
your waist, stomach, butt or hips to expand.

Good Luck!

Ellen's Food Rxs For Beautiful Skin!

                      Great Looking Skin From Food Sources! 

Courtney Cox is making the rounds, this past Friday she was on Jay Leno,
and today, she was on Ellen.
Of course the subject of cosmetic surgery, chemical peels
and aging skin came up.
Ellen who has a birthday coming up- admitted that she too, has
some body flaws. Ellen also knew that the skin on one's neck, 
elbows, hands and around the eyes is very thin, therefore aging more 
quickly.
If you are a decade or two younger than Ellen and Courtney and want to keep 
your skin looking it's best, eat some of the foods that'll keep your skin looking
10 to 15 yrs younger.

The Foods For Youthful Skin:
a) Go Nuts-
Some walnuts and almonds each day will give your skin a healthy
glow. Nuts contain essential fatty acids that keep skin cells fluid
and flexible.
b) Seafood-
A few salmon, trout or halibut dinners will give you smoother
and softer skin. Credit goes to the omega-3 fatty acids that hydrate
skin and flakes from blocking pores.
c) Soy Milk-
Drinking a cup of soy milk a day will help repair problem skin.
Soy milk has estrogen and it (estrogen) stimulates connective
tissue and regenerates your skin.
Important tip: Soy isn't for everyone, if it causes problems
for your digestive system, skip it.
d) More Liquids- 
Do you drink an adequate amount of water each day? 
Well, you don't have to drink 10 glasses of water each day,
get some liquid refreshment from melon, honeydew, watermelon, 
cucumber and cantaloupe. Keeping skin from drying out is very important,
so make sure to eat the above fruits and drink some water each day.
e) More Oil-
If you read our post- "Cougar Town's Rxs For Youthful Hands"
then you already know about the importance of oils.
Olive, walnut and avocado oils help keep skin moist, smooth
and plumped up. Use these oils to saute, stir-fry, in salads
and pestos and use it topically. Apply some to your body,
face, neck, hands, elbows and knees after a shower or bath.
f) Kiwi Please- 
Often overlooked as a fruit that can help keep smooth and blemish-free. 
One researcher says that 2 kiwis a day can help remove age spots
and moisturize skin from the inside out.
How powerful is Kiwi? A woman (a school teacher) wanted something
natural to help her prevent the number of colds she was bound to get
in the new school yr. 
A relative suggested Kiwi, she ate 2 a day, starting in Aug. and by
the end of Summer, noticed a few changes. The changes:
the undereye circles under her eyes disappeared and she didn't
have to cake her makeup on like she usually did. So, in addition
to helping her stay cold-free, she had a smoother and more youthful
complexion.

That's it- Although this list may not do much for Ellen
or Courtney, it's not to late for you... a 20 or 30 something.

Good Luck!

Ellen Degeneres' Rx For Youthful Skin!

                                          Food Rx To Prevent Wrinkles!
It's rumored Ellen Degeneres owns a ranch, a ranch that has a number
of Avocado trees. If this info is true, Ms. Degeneres may be sitting on
another gold mine. Her first gold mine: Her talk show which pays hers
millions of dollars a year. And the second: An avocado ranch.
Why are they so valuable?

Avocados can benefit your health in a number of ways,
one being lowering cholesterol, and the other being youthful skin.
That's right- along with apples and kiwi, avocados rank right up there
as one of the best fruits that'll  give you skin that looks
a decade or two younger.

Why is it so beneficial?
Give credit to their ample supply of vitamin E, a proven wrinkle-eraser,
as well as glutathione, an anti-aging antioxidant. Avocados also
boosts collagen and smooth fine lines.

So, if you're looking for youthful skin and don't want to go the
Botox route, then bring on the avocados.
One recipe that'll help you look younger...
Peel an avocado, rinse it with some water, slice it up
and place the slices in a small saucepan,
add 1/4 cup of milk, heat for a couple mins.
Remove from the heat, let cool,
take a chair, (preferrably a reclining chair)
and place the slices on your face, neck and hands (backs of hands)
sit back and relax for 10 to 15 mins. remove the avocados
and rinse your face with lukewarm water.
Some say if you start this in your 20's, you'll never have to go under
the knife, or botox needle.
Important tip: Although this tip is about Avocados, apples and milk also work,
and the apples are easier to handle and they're cheaper. And yes, eating avocados
also works, just watch the foods you eat them with (Chips).

So, if you have Ellen's email address, pass this info on,
selling her avocados to help America become more youthful.
Hey- she always helping the less fortunate, perhaps she can sell
avocados and donate the profits to charity. It's a thought.

Good Luck!

Diane Sawyer, the anchor of ABC's evening news is a youthful looking 68 yrs. of age.
How does she manage to look 10 to 12 yrs. younger than her actual age?
If you're thinking-facelifts, multiple botox sessions or spending thousands on foreign creams, think again.
Her secret: Exfoliating!

That's right- mixing up a few ingredients and scrubbing away the yrs. is her only secret.
And by the way, it's also the method Supermodel Christie Brinkley employs, and she's now 61 yrs. of age.

So, if you want to postpone the aging process or just firm up your skin,
start exfoliating. And if your is already thinning and wrinkled, you may want to skip
the exfoliating.
