Meryl Streep's Rx To Boost Focus!

                              Be More Focused Like Meryl Streep! 

Do you need to become more observant or focused?
Well, you may need to take up the hobby that Meryl Streep
uses for more focus and being more observant, what is it?
Crocheting!

It's a craft that's practiced by a lot of stars mainly because of the
time they (stars) have to spend on movie and T.V. sets.
And if you're thinking of getting something from your Dr.- like adderall,
you may want to rethink that, and use the natural Rx known as
crocheting.

Why is it effective? Learning a new craft or hobby like
crocheting, dancing or painting triggers the formation of gray
matter in 2 areas of the brain responsible for speeding up how
fast you process visual details, like shapes and colors.

And that's not all- if you're easily stressed or bothered by petty comments
or rude remarks, crocheting or dancing can also work to lower stress levels.
Crocheting or dancing lowers cortisol (the stress hormones) and raises
your levels of serotonin and dopamine (the feel good hormones).

That's it- Now that the holidays are here, you now have a gift idea 

for your sister, cousin, aunt or BFF.
Please continue to support this blog, and we'll continue to find,
alternative and healthy alternatives to Dr. prescribed meds and therapies.
Thanks!

Good Luck!

Katherine Heigl's Rx For Choosing Jewelry!

                           Choosing The Right Pair of Pearls! 
Katherine Heigl, the former star of Grey's Anatomy and now a star of movies,
is quite simple. Simply put: She doesn't like rings on every finger, she'll only 

wear gowns to movie premieres, and you won't see her tooling around in
a Rolls Royce or Bentley.

Her one vice: She loves a nice set of Pearls. And if you too, like the look
and feel of pearls around your neck, perhaps you should know how to distinguish
a set of real pearls, from the fakes. 

A real set of pearls should feel gritty when rubbed against another pearl,
and if they're smooth, when rubbed against each other, they're fake.
This trick works for new pearls just out of the box or vintage pearls.

That's it- and don't forget to thank Katherine Heigl for this tip.

Good Luck!

Alicia Key's Rx For Heart Health!

                      Cook Like Alicia! 

Alicia Keys, the beautiful songstress doesn't have a lot of time to cook,
but when she does, she makes a Holiday favorite that wins rave reviews. 

What is it? Terria Joseph's Turkey In A Bag!
Terria is mom to Alicia and she passed down the Turkey recipe to her.
Cooking turkey isn't that unusual this time of yr. and making a good tasting turkey
isn't that all that unusual, but eating a certain part of the turkey can make
you unusual. Unusual in the fact that you may lower your odds of ever getting
heart disease.

That's right- the fatty leg, the part many women are frightened of (the size,
the calorie count) contains taurine-an amino acid found in the fatty and flavorful
parts of chicken and turkey and it can heal arteries and prevent them from suffering
further damage. And healthier arteries means better blood flow, especially to the heart.

So,  if you're a woman with high cholesterol. a chicken or turkey leg is quite
alright, but watch the side dishes, like...mac and cheese, mashed potatoes and
gravy, biscuits, green beans loaded with butter and a 12 oz. glass of sweet tea,
these are the real culprits that do damage to delicate arteries that surround the heart.

And if you want the recipe for the turkey by Alicia Keys, go to MSN.com 

and right there on the front page is a picture of Alicia Keys, click on the link
and you'll be directed right to the turkey recipe.

Good Luck!

Oprah's Spa Rx For Youthful Skin!

             Looking Younger With A Facial!

Oprah hasn't forgotten her humble beginnings.
When she finds a pair of walking shoes she likes- she'll buy a
few pairs, when her favorite sheets are on sale, she'll buy a dozen. 

Why does she do it? Oprah with all of her billions-still thinks she could be back
on that farm in Mississippi struggling and constantly worrying about where her next meal
is coming from. 


But there's another side to Oprah, she loves to travel and she loves spas.
And one of the most popular things to do at a spa: Get massages and facials.
And the hottest spa facial today is a blueberry facial.
Yes, you're reading it right- the blueberries you use for your morning smoothie, 

is gaining in popularity in spas around the country.

Why a blueberry facial?
Blueberries are packed with vitamin C and the more C on or in your system,
the more youthful and rejuvenated your skin will look.
And we know, that most of you out there won't be able to just head out
to a spa, you still can get a blueberry facial, how?
By looking below for the recipe.

The Blueberry Facial:
Combine a 1/2 cup of blueberries- fresh or frozen
throw in some flaxseeds, 1/4 cup, grounded
1/4 tsp. coconut oil, 1/4 cup of water, a tbs. of full fat
yogurt (plain) and a dash of honey.
Blend in a blender for 30 secs. Lie back in your favorite
chair, pat the mixture on your face and neck and leave on for
10 to 15 mins. And lastly, rinse off with warm water.

That's it and one more tip- do this on the weekend or when you have
time off. Why? Sometimes applying foods to your face will leave some
redness and doing it on your time off, will give your face time to return to 

it's normal color.

Good Luck!

Anne Hathaway's Live Longer Rx For Women!

                         Live Longer Like Anne! 

Do yourself a favor this holiday season and see the movie-"Les Miserables!"
A number of folks are already talking Oscar nominations for Hugh Jackman
and Anne Hathaway.
And an Oscar nomination isn't the only thing that's going well for Ms. Hathaway,
the other thing going well for her: Her diet!
What type of diet? A vegetarian diet.

Yes, lean beef can benefit you in some ways, but according to new research-
women who eat it 3 or more times a week have a 30% chance of having a fatal
heart attack or stroke.
The researchers aren't really sure if it's the type of beef, the number of times
you eat it, the quality of the beef (store bought and loaded with steroids, 

chemicals and hormones) the way you prepare it (on a hot grill) or the side
dishes, (the fries, the extra cheese or the white buns).

Whatever it is, if you're eating it a few times a week, perhaps it's time
to cut down, way down. Start with one day without beef, have some
stir-fried vegetables and beans over brown rice and work up to two and then three
times a week, and who knows-you may be like Anne Hathaway and go without
it 7 days a week. Plus, you'll save money, money you can use for
clothes, shoes or handbags.

Good Luck!

Ellen's Rx For A Happier Holiday!

                         Drink This To Boost Happiness! 

Ellen Degeneres is doing the very popular "12 Days Of Giveaway"
she has one more week to go and if you watched last week, she
had John Travolta on talking about his favorite beverage: Hot Chocolate!

Although, it was a ploy to throw the audience off and really start the
giveaway of gifts, there was some truth to the "fake" hot chocolate
presentation.
Yes, John Travolta said try Mexican hot chocolate for it's spiciness
and the extra kick.
But that's not all- Mexican hot chocolate can actually boost happiness.
How? The blend of cocoa, cinnamon and chili pepper that's how. 


The cocoa is loaded with compounds that increase levels of happy brain
hormones, plus cocoa improves blood flow to major organs,
The chili peppers, mainly taking in the scent helps cause the body to release
endorphins, (feel good chemicals) and the cinnamon is proven boost alertness.

So, are you ready for more happiness and cheeriness this Holiday season?
Alrighty then, go online and pick up some Mexican hot chocolate at
eCrater.com or buy some "real" cocoa, (no Swiss Miss) and add your own
cinnamon and hot cayenne pepper to the mug.

Thanks Ellen!
