A Makeup Tip To Help You Earn More Money!

2016-08-03T11:35:00.000-07:00

Primp, Primp and Primp Some More!!

Ladies, do your loved ones accuse you of spending too much time
on your appearance like you were a Hollywood diva?
Are your co-workers starting to mention how much time you
spend putting on makeup or looking in the mirror?
Well, believe it or not, just like getting some Sun
and eating small amounts of red meat, primping
is actually good for you.

How so?
Women who are done up and looking their best
command the highest salaries.
Researchers say that styling your hair, putting on some
makeup, getting your nails done and dressing up helps
you earn more, no matter the profession.
Plus, taking the time and effort to look your best gives you
a confidence boost, helping you to succeed and eventually
earn more.

So, next time someone says "you sure do spend a lot time in the
bathroom (mirror)" just say- "I'm doing it for my car note,
mortgage payment, health insurance and retirement account (401's)!"

Good Luck!

Newly Married Couple's Rx For a Better Brain!

2016-08-01T16:46:00.001-07:00

Dance Like Kim and Robert!

If you're really a fan of celebrity news then you're probably aware of
the recent celebrity wedding.
The wedding of Robert Herjavec and Kym Johnson.
You know- Mr. Herjavec from "Shark Tank"
and Kym Johnson from "Dancing With The Stars"
And according to recent news- men and women
that dance a few times a week can help keep
their brains in tip-top shape and even lower their risk of
getting Alzheimer's by a whopping 30%.

How does dancing help, you ask?
It (dancing) stimulates the release of nerve growth factor , a chemical that
increases your production of new brain cells.
And something more exciting- you can lower your odds even more
(of getting dementia) by listening and exercising to upbeat music.

So, for all of you out there that say "I hate to dance"
perhaps this post and the recent nuptials of Robert and Kym will
help change your mind.
Also important- If you're not a fan of dancing but still want to
prevent Alzheimer's, indoor cycling (or Soul cycling), walking
inside or outdoors for 20 to 30 mins, or even puttering around in the
garden will help both body and Mind.

Good Luck!

Older Star's Rx To Block Out The Sun!

2016-07-30T07:37:00.001-07:00

Be Like Olivia!

Olivia Newton John, the Australian actress and singer is a few yrs. away from 70,
and if you're wondering how she manages to look so good, here's one of her secrets...
Vitamin C.
As in oranges and grapefruits?
Not that type of vitamin C, the vitamin C Ms. Olivia uses comes in the form of a serum.
Why a serum, you ask?
Ms. Olivia was concerned about using all of that Sunscreen to combat the
California Sun, so with the help of her dermatologist, they decided it would
be in her best interest to use vitamin C serum.

Ms. Olivia still uses some Sunscreen around the sensitive parts of face,
but the insensitive parts (forehead & cheeks) get the serum.
Why is serum a great choice for women like this?
It (serum) neutralizes harmful free radicals and increases production
of wrinkle-fighting collagen--effects shown to reduce fine in a matter of months.

So, are you willing to give vitamin C serum a try?
If so, look for the brand favored by Olivia N. John and other stars,
(like Halle Berry)
The vitamin C serum: eb5 Vitamin C serum concentrate,
find it online at eb5.com, $20 for an ounce.
Oh and may sure you check with your doctor/dermatologist before
trying any new products on your skin.
And one last tip: Eat more of the foods that'll help protect your skin
from the Sun's harmful rays, look for Supermarket Rxs to Sun-Proof
Your Skin.
Let food and beverages be your sunscreen, find the E-book online
at Amazon.com/ in the kindle store.

Female Star's Faith Rx For a Longer Life!

2016-07-29T14:31:00.002-07:00

Have Faith Like Jennifer!

You may think because it's "Hollywood" many of the stars don't have or
practice any kind of religion, and if you think that, you're sadly mistaken.

According to some insiders, the 2 biggest stars who really care about and are dedicated
to their faith are Jennifer Garner and Mark Walhberg.
Yes, we know, Mark Walhberg in all of those shoot em up films, but he
goes to church every morning, he says to pray and give thanks
and Ms. Garner said it (her belief in God) helped her get through this past yr.
(a breakup and maybe a makeup).

And a belief in God can help you through a lot of things, and if you're a woman-
it can actually help you live longer.
Live Longer?
Yes, according to a recent article in the Journal of Medicine, the more often
a woman attends religious services, the lower of risk of death from all
diseases.
How much lower?
A 35% lower risk of death.

Why the benefits for women and not for men?
Researchers think that women form special bonds with other women
(planning dinners, doing the cooking, teaching classes, cleaning up, etc).
and men don't have such close ties with other men.

So, ladies, if you're interested in living longer, you may want to
look into getting involved in some type of religion and
if you're dead set against any kind of religion, that's okay, just
do what Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow and Courtney Cox do,
what is that?
Remain life-long friends, go out to lunch, shop, gossip and attend each
other's weddings.

Good Luck!

Star's Rx For a Healthier Snack!

2016-07-28T06:30:00.000-07:00

Snack Like Gwyneth!

Gwyneth Paltrow doesn't endear herself to many people
when she talks about her diet.
Some see her diet as something that's too unattainable and impossible
to follow (long-term) but Ms. Paltrow only sees it as a way to improve one's
health and longevity and if you want to follow in her footsteps, then
you should try snacking like she does.

Snacking?
Yes, even Ms. Paltrow has snack attacks and the way she conquers
those attacks is with an alternative to a fattier and unhealthy snack.
The snack she prefers: Chips and the healthier alternative she favors:
Beet Chips.

Beet chips?
Yes, you may remember kale chips were all the rage about 3 to 5 yrs. ago, but
today, Ms. Paltrow prefers thinly sliced beets that have a little olive or coconut oil
on them and then baked (on a cookie sheet) for 20 mins. at 325 degrees.

Not a fan of beets?
That's okay-try turnip chips or green squash chips or parsnip chips,
you get to make that decision and if you need something to dip your
chips in, here's a recipe for a great tasting salsa, using the fruit
that's plentiful this time of year... Watermelon.
The recipe for watermelon-avocado salsa.
Combine 2 cups of diced watermelon, (without the seeds)
along with 1 ripe avocado (also diced) some chopped red onion,
(1/4) cup, minced chili pepper or chili powder, salt,
and some lime juice (a few Tbs.)
That's it, and if you're a fan of mango, use it, or peaches, use them as well.

That's it, and remember, Ms. Paltrow only wants you to be your healthy best.

Good Luck!

A Movie Star's Fruit Rx To Help You Live Longer!

2016-07-22T11:00:00.000-07:00

Live Long and Prosper Like Zoe!

Oh no, the beautiful star of the upcoming Star Trek movie just revealed
she's battling an Autoimmune disease.
The actress:
Zoe Saldana.

Ms. Saldana like many is fighting it naturally, you know with
a "clean diet" meditation, gentle exercise and plenty of hugs--
from her kids and husband.
She's also adding more chocolate, or her version of chocolate
to her daily menus, what type of Choc is that?
Berries.

Ms. Saldana said she wants to watch her sugar intake, so she
has a bowl of berries each night and not real chocolate and if you too,
want to go the berry route as well, you'll be doing your body and soul a
World of good.
What type of good, you ask?
* Lower risk of mental decline
* A flatter tummy
* A reduced appetite
* Lower risk of getting diabetes
* More serotonin, you know--the "mood boosting hormone"
* Improved heart health
Blue and Black
------------------------------------------------------------------
* Whiter teeth
* A 60% less chance of getting Br. Cancer
* Stronger Immune system
* Lowers bad cholesterol and raises the good cholesterol
* Improved eyesight
Strawberries
------------------------------------------------------------------
* A faster metabolism
* keep blood sugar levels stable- great if you're diabetic
* Improves circulation- prevent blood clots (especially if you sit
all day)
* Loaded with antioxidants
* Reduce inflammation throughout the body.
* Natural Sun Block
Raspberries
---------------------------------------------------------------
So, there you have it, Zoe Saldana's recipe for eating something sweet
without eating something sweet and if you plan on copying this way of eating,
remember these tips...
* Make sure to wash your berries if you buy them fresh,
as fresh berries (the skins) may contain pesticides.
Or buy frozen.
* Make sure to have the berries plain or with a low-fat
whipped topping or homemade Ice cream, (look for a recipe
using an avocado and a banana)
* Avoid adding tons of sugar and a white flour crust.
Once in a while is okay, do it on a regular basis
and you increase your odds of getting a number of illnesses and diseases.
* Do like the Danes and Italians-
They eat their berries with a little vinegar (Denmark)
or a little pepper, (Italy). Doing so reduces your odds of getting diabetes
and some cancers.

Good Luck!

Fish Tacos For a Saturday Night!

"J Lo" (or Jennifer Lopez) is constantly being asked what's
she does to look so good at age 46?
Her replies are the usual...dance, drink plenty of water,
get enough sleep, cut out soda and eat plenty of fish.

Yes, the last one may really be the secret of her youthful looks
and incredible dance moves at age 46, and if you too, are a big fan
of fish, then you need to give yourself a pat on the back.

Eating fish a few times a week will do a number of great things for your
health, things like...
* turn back on the clock on skin, plumping it up, making it look less wrinkled
(consider it a cheaper and safer form of Botox)
* put an end to bad and depressive moods, some doctors prescribe more fish
(and not harmful anti-depressants) to banish blue moods and negative thoughts.
* keep arteries clear- concerned about damaged arteries and blood clots?
Eat more fish.
* Ease aches and pains- Eating a few servings of fish each may work just as well
or even better than doctor-prescribed arthritic medications. It's the healthy fats
that help repair damaged muscles and joints.

Wait, you say you're not a fish eater? Perhaps the following recipe
for a taco, (a Fish taco) will make you a convert.
The recipe:
Fish Tacos with Mango Salsa.
Ingredients:
4 pieces of fish, salmon, trout, catfish, cooked on top of the stove-using a small
amount of oil, or cooked in the oven.
Or just use frozen breaded fillets and cook according to the directions on
the back of the box, (once cooked, allow to cool and remove the breading)
1 red onion, cut into thin slices
1 mango, (ripe) dice it into cubes
1/2 cup of chopped up peppers, red or green
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, ( muddle it with a wooden spoon) to make it less "soapy tasting"
2 Tbs. Lime juice
1/2 cup sour cream
A cup (or 2) of chopped greens, romaine or iceberg lettuce
4 taco shells (prepare according to the directions on the box)
1 Tbs. mashed chipotle peppers in Adobo sauce, look for Goya or
La Morena at your local supermarket.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Directions:
Place your fish in a bowl and cut into bite size pieces. (or leave it whole)
Combine the mango, pepper, cilnatro and lime juice in
another bowl. And then, combine the sour cream with the chipotle
peppers in another bowl. After that is done, start making your tacos.
Place some fish in a taco, add the mango salsa, and finish it up
with the chipotle sour cream and some lettuce.

That's it- and here are some more tips regarding fish,
If it (fish) is too pricey, head to Trader's Joe, Aldi.
or Costco and stock up on salmon, sardines and tuna in the cans.
Avoid deep frying it in vats of oil, as this increases your odds of having a stroke.
Do combine your fish with veggies, or brown rice and not French fries, hush puppies,
Mac and Cheese and buckets of soda (or Kool-aid)
Having fish a few times a week and you too, can look and feel younger just like "J Lo"

And one last tip....
Go online and look for books by Nicholas Perricone, he's a dermatologist and
Yale professor who started writing about the benefits of fish to turn back the
clock (on one's appearance) about 15 yrs. ago.
Also head to Amazon.com and type The Nordic Secrets to Perfect Health
in the search bar. Download it and learn how the people of Scandinavian
countries eat tons of fish and suffer way less depression (even with 3 hours of
sunlight in the Winter) than their American brothers and sisters.

Bey's Rx To Help Lower Cancer Rates!

2016-07-02T09:02:00.000-07:00

Ladies- Eat More Citrus!
Ladies, the talk of breast cancer is always in the news, as well it
should be, but's let's not forget about lung, colon, pancreatic
or prostate cancer and thanks to Bey, or Beyonce you and
your loved ones can really lower your odds of ever getting any type
of cancer.

How, you ask?
By adding more lemons (and other citrus) to your smoothies, veggie
stir-fries, or tropical drinks, (only 1 a day).
But wait, not just any type of lemon or limes, no--you need to buy organic
citrus, freeze them and then use most of the lemon, (especially the peel)

That's right, thanks to new research, it's been shown that citrus fruit,
especially the peel will not only help prevent a number of cancers,
it can also be used to help eliminate the cancer you or a loved one may already
have, consider it (tart chemotherapy).

Yes, frozen organic lemon peels to get rid of cancer and if you've been
a regular here, (at this blog) then you know, we covered this subject on
a number of occasions.

We mentioned how the peels from lemons, limes, oranges, clementines
and tangerines can do everything from protect your skin from the Sun's
harmful rays (natural sunscreen) to ending dizziness,to lowering your
odds of getting dementia, to keeping your legs free of unsightly varicose veins.

So, if you're the type that's only been using lemons to make "Lemonade"
(like Beyonce) you may want to reconsider that decision ans use the
whole lemon (and lime and clementine and orange).
And if you need more info, go to Google.com, and type
frozen lemons to fight (or prevent) cancer.

That's it for today, and remember to drink more lemonade this
holiday season, but not just the juice, add the peels to that citrusy
pitcher of goodness as well.

Natural Hair Care Tips For The Older Actress!

2016-06-25T10:20:00.001-07:00

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.

Talk Show Host's Rx For Choosing Summer Wines!

2016-06-14T10:04:00.000-07:00

The Right Wine For Your Barbecue!

Yes, the title is correct, wine and barbecue may not seem like
they go together, but they do.
And if you're really serious about wine like talk show host
Loni Love (cohost of "The Real") then you really
have to read this post.

Pairing wine with ribs, salmon or chicken will certainly make it (the meat
or fish) taste better and if you're not sure how to do it,
here's a simple guide...
a) Ribs-
Most people prefer a big, cold mug of beer with their ribs, but
choose a Zinfandel and watch how excited your taste buds will be.
b) Salmon-
If you're using a honey, mustard glaze on your fish, try a
Chardonnay to wash it down.
c) Shrimp-
Are you planning on having shrimp kebabs or a shrimp salad?
Make sure to pair the shrimp with Riesling. This wine's balance
of acidity and fruit flavors resonate with a similar chord
struck between the citrus and sweetness of a lemony-flavored
shrimp. Plus, this wine has a hint of pepper-just enough to stand
up to the grill smoke.
d) Burgers-
You may prefer kool-aid, soda or beer with your burgers, but try something
different-like...Merlot.
This wine especially complements the relish or ketchup you
choose for your burger.

That's it- and if you're familiar with high heat from the grill and
increased rates of cancer, then you'll certainly want to add some wine.
Add it as a marinade.
Yes, marinating meat in wine, beer, or even root beer (for a few hrs. or
overnite) can help protect you from taking in all of those carcinogens from
a hot charcoal grill.
Also helpful- add some mustard, olive oil and garlic (all of which offer you more
protection from certain cancers) to your marinade
as well.

Good Luck!

You may be able to overcome some of those

Where can you find such phrases or passages?
By going to Zazzle.com/Holistically.
Look to the right and see one of the daily affirmation tote bags that are now available.

An Actor's Unusual Rx For Healing!

2016-06-12T11:12:00.001-07:00

Be Like Mark & Pray!

Many people may not know this but actor Mark Wahlberg is a Christian.
Nothing unusual about that, but we don't mean church once a week, no- we're talking about someone who goes to to church
everyday (early in the morning) to say a prayer and to say thanks for all of the blessings in his life.

This wasn't always the case- Mr. Wahlberg was once a troubled, violent kid who was looking at some serious jail time, but
thanks to family, (brother Donnie, Mom and Hollywood) and recommitting himself to religion, Mr.Wahlberg was
able to turn things around.

You may still be a disbeliever and that's okay, but if weight is
an issue and you're really struggling, perhaps a
prayer may be able to help you overcome (overeating, bored eating, etc).
that's right- a prayer... just look below and read the prayer
on the bag you see listed to the right, and then head to Zazzle.com
and pick up that bag.

And one last tip--
There's also a bag there for couples struggling with infertility,
look for the bag, order it and you'll get the complete prayer.
(Send us a note at this site--that you want that specific bag
and we'll put the rest of the prayer up for you)
Hey, a prayer that might work is certainly easier, cheaper
and safer than infertility treatments.

Good Luck!

Clean Your Bling For Less!

If you're a rapper making millions or a hard working mom of three who owns
some gold, make sure you keep your gold clean.

The tip:
Pour a bottle of seltzer water into a bowl, add some dish detergent,

Leave it in the seltzer water bath for about 5 yo 10 mins.
After that, remove your precious gold, rinse it with warm water and
gently dry it with a soft cloth.
Combining seltzer with dish detergent gently loosens and removes built-up
grime.

There you have it, a low-cost solution for making your gold (bling) shine
just like a rapper's.

Singer's Favorite Citrus Fruit Rx For Weight Loss!

2016-06-05T09:06:00.001-07:00

Drink That Lemonade!

We're still not sure of the Beyonce-inspired lemonade campaign,
but we are sure that if weight loss or weight maintenance is a concern
this Summer, you must incorporate more citrus into your meals
and especially your drinks.

That's right- forgo the pina coladas and margaritas this Summer season
and have mocktails?
What are those?
Non-alcoholic drinks.

And why must you use more lemon and limes this Summer?
Because it (citrus) helps you fight stubborn fat 3 ways...
* It switches on good genes responsible for burning
excessive fat.
* It boost liver function- Increase liver's ability to expel
more toxins, toxins that may cause that weight gain in the 1st place.
* Stabilize Blood Sugar Levels-
Avoid the rapid sugar highs and lows with citrus, doing so makes it
easier to lose and manage weight, plus, steady blood sugar levels
means lower odds of becoming a diabetic.

So, are you ready to take on the lemonade (and limeade) challenge?
If so, here's a mocktail to get you started...
It's called The Lemon-Lime Refresher Mocktail!
Ingredients:
2 slices lemon
2 slices lime
clean the peels thoroughly, as you will be using them.
1 sprig of mint
1 Tbs. lemon juice
1 Tbs. lime juice
1 cup of cold water
1 Tbs. raw honey or real maple syrup, Optional.
Directions:
Chill a glass for 30 to 60 mins. before starting.
And in a large bowl, muddle the first 3 ingredients.
To muddle-
Mash down with a wooden spoon, this releases oils
from the citrus and mint and makes the drink taste better.
Add these ingredients to the chilled glass, add the lemon and lime
juice, the cold water, and the honey or syrup.
Stir well and if you like- add a few ice cubes and a sprig of mint, or
a slice of lime over the edge of glass for garnishment.
That's it- a Citrusy, Summery Slimming Drink.

And lastly, if you want recipes for more mcoktails, you're
in luck, head to Zazzle.co,/Holistically- and pick
up the recyclable tote bag you see down below.
Recipes on the front & back.
Purchase one for yourself and one for the woman

or man who loves to drink but also wants to maintain
or lose weight.

Sitcom Star's Rx For Beating Sweet Cravings!

2016-06-04T08:45:00.000-07:00

Come and Knock at My Door!

If you were around in the late 70's, then you were probably
watching the T.V. show- 3's Company, or maybe you're
watching it now, thanks to a number of channels showing
it over and over again.

It was a show about a bachelor (actor John Ritter)
living with 2 sexy women, (Suzanne Somers and Joyce Dewitt)
what's so unusual about that?
The landlord, (Norman Fell) was not going to let an unmarried
man share an apartment with 2 unmarried women, so Bachelor
Jack had to pretend to be gay.

Well, enough with the nostalgia trip, you may (or may not)
remember that Suzanne Somers was fired from the show
for demanding a salary that was the same as Larry Hagman's,
you know J.R. Ewing.
The producers told her she was good, not J.R. good and gave her
walking papers and as a result of this Ms. Somers went to Vegas
and did a cabaret act, became a spokeswoman for an exercise
product (the thigh master) and wrote a number of best selling books
on health, particularly women's health.
And one of these books, was all about her diet.

Ms. Somers became a big advocate of fat., mainly eating more of it.
Not fat from cupcakes or milkshakes, but good fats like organic
butter, oils, (olive, avocado and coconut) nuts, and full-fat cheese.
Ms. Somers was ahead of her time as more doctors now tout the benefits of
good fats, and one of those experts- Dr. Mark Hyman also has
a book out on this very subject.

Ms. Somers- says that adding more fats and totally eliminating
carbs (white carbs) and sugar has helped her end her cravings for
cookies and cake, lose her muffin top, feel more
energetic, sleep better, boosted her sex drive and
her looks, by filling out her face and neck area,
and turn her her into a female "Benjamin Button"
Ms. Somers turns 70 in Oct.

So, if you're still convinced that adding more fat to your diet
will stop your heart and age your face and body, you need look no further
than Suzanne Somers, Sophia Loren, (over 80)
Selma Hayek, (Ms. Hayek is convinced
fat is the reason her breasts are still perky at 49) or the
millions of French women who've eaten like this for over a
century.

And if you need more information on how Ms. Somers relaxes,
experiences joy, and banishes bloat, pick up her latest book "Miss-Toxic"
at bookstores or online at Amazon.com.
And one last tip: if you want to add more good fats like avocado,
flaxseed, or grapseed oils to your diet, but aren't sure how to use them,
head to Zazzle.com/Holistically, and purcahase the reusable grocery

bag you see below. Buy one for yourself and one (or more) for friends, family and coworkers.

Good Luck!

Hollywood's Rxs For Getting Fit This Summer Pt. 2!

2016-06-03T15:04:00.000-07:00

Get Fit on Land!

You may remember the post from last week.
You know, getting fit on or near the water.
Well, this post is also about getting fit,
and most of the exercises can be done at the park,
the beach or hilly terrain.

Celebrity trainer Brett Hoebel, says these are the best
exercises to tone up your legs, rear end and upper arms.
First up, the waist-
a) The Waist-
Throw a frisbee. A frisbee to change your waist?
Yes, twisting from side to side engage the obliques--
muscles that cinch in the waist.
To get more benefits:
Step from side to side across the park or beach between throws.
This raises your heart rate to boost calorie burn while engaging
the hip flexors to slim the thighs.
b) Trim Those Upper Arms-
A problem area for a lot of women and if you love the beach,
make sure to bring along a volleyball.
Hitting the ball, serving, running and diving tone all areas,
but it's especially helpful to your arms.
To get more benefits:
Bend your knees and jump up each time you hit the ball. This
tones the glutes, thighs and hamstrings.
c) Be Like J Lo-
At 46, Ms. Lopez is still looking good and even though we don't
have proof, it may be the hills. As in walking up hills.
Walking -especially up hill engage more of the legs and glutes
and help you burn about 80% more calories than if you walked
on a straight path.
To get more benefits:
Pump your arms as you hike or use walking poles (Nordic poles)
this increases heart rate and calorie burn.
Fun Fact: Kate Hudson and Reese Witherspoon really
love to walk, especially up and down hills.
d) Biking-
A favorite activity many stars enjoy and if a flatter belly is a goal,
then you must get that bike out. Riding a bike for 30 mins.
burns about 300 calories, plus keeping the bike balanced-
engage the deep abdominal muscles- helping you melt that
belly.
To get more benefits:
Go as fast as you can for 30 secs. and then rest for 60 to 90 secs.
Do this about 3 times to start and work your way up to 10 times.
This is called intermitten training and you'll really burn some calories.
Important tip:
If you haven't biked (or even walked hills) in quite some time,
it's best to go slow and not rush things.

Good Luck!

RedCarpetRxs!

One last tip:
If you decide to use one or more of the exercises
listed above, may sure to make a few dietary changes.
What changes? Switching out your butter, vegetable oil
and margarine and use avocado oil, flaxseed oil, rice bran
oil and grapeseed oil. Not sure how to use these
oils?
Look at the bag to the right, head to Zazzle.com/Holistically
and purchase one (or two) of these informative bags.

Hollywood's Rxs For Getting Fit This Summer!

2016-05-30T14:16:00.000-07:00

Water Sports For a Better Body!

In Hollywood it's certainly a lot easier to get fit and stay fit,
and if you have money, it's definitely easier and if you have
money and live in mostly sunny Hollywood, getting fit
by and on the water is certainly a whole lot easier.

If you enjoy water sports and have access to a lake,
pond or ocean this time of year, by all means take advantage.
Why?
Celebrity-trainer Nathan Mellalieu says that certain water sports
can help you sculpt the body of your dreams.

That's right, he says that sports like...
kayaking and paddle boarding can work on specific parts of the body.
Need more proof?
Okay then....
a) Body Boarding-
Helps firm arms, especially the upper arms. Get rid of that batman look
going on by body-boarding.
To make it more effective: Focus on pulling your belly button in
toward your spine as you ride the waves to activate the ab muscles.
b) Paddle-Boating-
Trim your thighs by peddling all over the lake.
A problem area for so many women, and if lunges, squats
and long walks aren't doing any good, try this.
To make it more effective: Pedal backwards every few minutes.
Doing this engages the rear, giving you that Jessica Biel or Alba booty.
c) Kayaking-
Difficult for someone just starting out, but stick with it and you
can sculpt your shoulders and back.
It's rumored that Dancing with the Stars main dancer
Katrina Smirnoff loves to use a kayak.
This may explain why she looks so good in those backless
dresses, (and of course 6 hrs. of dancing everyday)
To make it more effective: Get more of your waist involved by
extending and straightening your arms as you paddle.
d) Paddle-Boarding-
Cut that waist down to size with this water-sport.
All of that turning and twisting will certainly
work on your waist.
To make it more effective
Switch hands when paddling and move your up and down on the
paddles to make it a little more difficult.
e) Honorable mentions-
Beach volleyball--
help you tone all over, and the constant running (on the beach)
also help you improve your body.
Surfing-
Balancing yourself on a surfboard will pay dividends especially
as you get older and worry about falling and breaking a hip.
It also helps you become stronger, lifting that board to and from the
water.
Walking and jogging on the beach-
It's certainly not the same as walking a gym floor or cement
and if you have'n't worked out in a while, it's best you start slowly.
Many have twisted, sprained and broken bones jogging on the beach barefoot.

That's it- remember if you have access to water this Summer,
take advantage of it. Your mind, body and soul will thank you.

Good Luck!
