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!

Natural Morning Sickness Cures For The Royal Family!
For months, we've been told that Princess Kate is pregnant,
well this time-it seems to be true.
The princess is not only pregnant, but is suffering from severe
morning sickness. And luckily, a number of Hollywood stars have
been pregnant and have some of their own natural remedies to help
alleviate that morning sickness.
Listed below, are some of their best all-natural home remedies...
1) Eat Carbs-
Carbs have been taking a beating in the press of late, you know the gluten
and the weight gain, but for a new mom, a few crackers, or a slice of
whole-grain toast with some dark honey on it can work wonders.
Do this first thing in the morning, before eating anything else.
Also helpful: Eating smaller meals, so no big plates of spaghetti
or a double cheeseburger with fries spilling over the sides.
2) Acupuncture-
The thought of needles in your arms, legs, backside, etc. can be
frightening to a lot of women, but if the nausea is too much, then
you may have to think about it.
Another tip: Acupuncture is gaining in popularity to help those
who are infertile.
3) Acupressure-
A form of healing used by Asians and Indians for thousands of yrs.
Simply put- massage certain points on your body to bring about relief.
To end nausea- try massaging the spots just under your wrists,
left side, right side and in the middle for a few mins. each day.
Or if you have an extra $10 on hand, look for an acupressure
band to end nausea. Find the bands at Walgreens or CVS.
4) Peppermint Essential Oil-
Light some peppermint essential oil candles. The scent is said to
relieve nausea. And try to avoid unpleasant scents that may trigger
nausea. Scents like dirty laundry, a cesspool or your Dog's
no. 2.
5) Fennel-
The things fennel can do for one's health are numerous, it's too
bad it's rarely mentioned. Pour some seeds into a mug and then some
hot water, let steep for a few mins. stir, let cool and then drink.
Avoid the seeds. And if you're not bothered by morning sickness,
then you can use fennel to help control pregnancy cravings and weight.
It's also rumored to help women prevent miscarriage.
6) Ginger-
Ginger was always the go-to spice to alleviate nausea, but now,
some say too much of it, may not be good for your offspring.
So, have a glass of ginger ale occasionally.
7) Vitamin B6-
Ask your Dr. about taking vitamin B6 a few times a day.
8) Citrus Fruit-
Some say lemon and orange juice (fresh) will alleviate nausea.
Others say buy lemon/lime soda, open it and let if go flat,
once flat-drink up.
9) Walk More-
It may be the last thing you want to do, but a little physical
activity ends those feelings of nausea and motion sickness.
10) Eat Olives-
Popular in Italy, eating a few olives is said to relieve even the
most stubborn cases of morning sickness.
11) Gender Selection-
One of our earlier posts here at RedCarpetRxs, told you about the signs your
body is sending, to tell you if it's a boy or a girl.
One of the signs- morning sickness early in the pregnancy may mean a girl
or twins.
That's it- 10 tips from some Hollywood stars and some from moms who are
into alternative medicine. Find the one that works best for you.
And if you have something different that worked for you, pass it along, we'll try and get it to Princess Kate.

Eat Less This Christmas!
Hollywood stars are always looking for the latest gadget, exercise program
or diet to help them maintain their weight.
One strategy that's making becoming popular again is smaller plates.
But just not smaller plates, but blue in color as well.
Why small, blue plates?
Because, they help you lose the urge to eat 15 mins. sooner.
Blue is a color least likely to stimulate appetite, mainly because
there aren't that many blue foods. Plus, it's said that blue helps
you relax and eating while relaxed, most likely means you'll eat less.
As for the smaller size plates- You'll eat about 230 fewer calories and
if a small plate is filled up, your brain brain says that's enough food and
you'll feel satisfied with that amount.
A few tips for kids: Some researchers say that hyperactive kids, (especially
boys) can control their outbursts and temper tantrums if you paint their
rooms blue. As stated earlier- blue has a relaxing effect on the central nervous
system. And for smaller plates- it's best to feed kids off of smaller plates, this helps
them control their appetites and trains them to eat just enough, (so they won't
have to deal with weight gain and start the yo-yo dieting) as opposed to
giving them a large amount of food on a bigger plate and you getting upset if
they don't finish. And if they want more, give them more.
And if you want tips on how celebrities like Sofia Vergara, Jennifer
Aniston and Alicia Silverstone stay slim and trim, go to our regular
blog...SupermarketRxs@typepad.com. and read about them.
Good Luck!

Fix Your "Too-Tight" Shoes!
Do you own a pair of shoes that have become too tight?
Or would you like to borrow a pair of shoes from your sister,
BFF or coworker, but they're just a little too tight?
Well, if the shoes look great, but are a size or two too small,
avoid them, they may do serious damage to your feet, but if
.jpg)
they're just a wee bit tight, do the following...
Put on a pair of socks and put on your too-tight shoes.
Next, get out your blow dryer and turn it on high and aim the dryer
at the tight areas while wiggling and stretching your feet.
Leave the shoes on for a few mins. and continue to walk around,
now- take off your socks and then put the shoes back on.
Heating up leather shoes makes them more pliable, which enables
them (the shoes) to mold to your feet.
And if the shoes are still tight- reheat the shoes, (without your feet in them)
and then walk around with your feet in them for a few mins.
Sometimes a few blasts of the hair dryer does the trick.
That's it- And remember, this tip will save you a trip to your shoemaker.
The money you save can be used to buy a new pair of shoes.
Good Luck!

Get Smoother Skin For Less!
You may think Hollywood stars use moisturizers, facial peels
and botox for vanity, but that's not the only reason.
The other reasons: Financial gain! They (stars) consider their faces and
looks, the way to make to money, you know, to pay for their houses,
their kids' education and their retirement, and that's really the reason
for the facials, the spa treatments and botox.
But what about the rest of us. The average Janes and Jills who can't
buy the most expensive moisturizers, eat organic food and get botox
every 3 months?
Well, for you, there's something that'll cost about 3 dollars and
you'll find it at your supermarket. What is it?
A bag of Oranges.
Yup, you know the things mom and grandmom told us to eat to get our
fill of vitamin C.
So, if youthful skin that rivals a Hollywood star is something you want,
save a few orange peels and when you take your next bath, throw in a few peels.
The peels contain natural acids and oils that remove dead skin, helping to
reveal a beautiful and smoother exterior.
And one more tip: Clean the peel thoroughly, and grate some into your salad,
fruit salad, or on your baked chicken or fish, why?
The peel helps protect skin from the Sun's harmful rays, lowers your cholesterol,
and reduces breast cancer rates.
That's it- A low-cost solution for skin that'll have your skin looking like
a Hollywood star in no time flat.
Good Luck!
