Top 10 Healthy Food
Wednesday, November 5th, 2008Healthy eating and physical fitness go together, but there are no magic foods that cause you to be one hundred percent healthy by just eating the one food. No, you need a variety of foods from each of these food groups each day. It’s also important to watch the portion size so as not to overeat. Make your mealtimes pleasant and relaxed occasions and your healthy foods will work effectively with your healthy emotions to give you a healthy body.

To get this slamming body, Hilary worked with V Pilates owner Viveca Jensen for almost two years. Along with a balanced diet, Hilary’s workout regimen included leg raises with a band, bridge with the ring, and leg raises with a ball.

Even actresses brown-bag it. Jennifer Lopez, the most influential Hispanic entertainer in America, brings meals to the recording studio, while completing her fifth English studio album.
Her enchilada recipe: Combine 4 oz cooked shredded chicken breast, 1/4 light sour cream, 2 tbsp shredded lowfat Chipotle cheese, 1/4 cup pico de gallo, and 1/8 cup enchilada sauce in a bowl. Place the mixture on a whole-wheat tortilla. Roll up and put in a microwave-safe portable dish.
Pour 1/8 cup enchilada sauce on top and sprinkle with a bit more cheese to your liking. At lunchtime, microwave on high for 3 minutes.
One of J.Lo’s enchiladas has 10 grams of fiber and a mere 200 calories.
The Art of Shaving for Women
Thursday, August 23rd, 2007Kelly
never stops raving about how great his Art of Shaving products are, but I never really listen since they only cater to men… or so I thought! The Art of Shaving for Women is a unique concept guided by the expertise and hands-on attention of the founders.
Passionately devoted to the very best in skin care, the Art of Shaving has created a luxurious line of shaving products that promises optimal shaving results for legs, bikini area and under arms. They call it The Perfect Shave™, made of botanical ingredients and essential oils, includes both pre and post shave products, plus accessories.
I’m going to have to give it a try and see if they really are as good as Terry says.
Step-by-step guide to The Perfect Shave
1. Prepare
- Shave while showering or bathing.
- Always use hot water while shaving. Hot water softens the hair, opens pores and relaxes the skin.
- Before shaving, apply The Art of Shaving Pre-Shave Oil to protect the skin and soften the hair, especially in delicate areas such as the bikini, under arms, at the ankles and behind the knees or legs.
2. Lather Up!
- Allow a few moments for the hot water to soften the hair, then lather up with shaving brush or fingers.
- Use The Art of Shaving’s coconut oil based Shaving Cream for a rich, luxurious lather that provides a close, comfortable shave.
- For best results, use our custom contoured Shaving Brush made of badger hair. It helps generate a warm, protective lather, softens and lifts the hair and exfoliates dead skin cells.
3. Shave
- Always use a sharp, clean blade and a properly balanced handle. Avoid applying too much pressure on your razor, this is often the cause of razor burn and skin irritations. Glide the razor gently over your skin and rinse your blade after every few strokes. Pull the skin straight and taut with one hand, while you shave with the other.
FOR LEGS:
- Shave against the direction the hair grows. Place the razor at the base of your ankle and pull gently up the entire length of the leg, in one smooth stroke. To avoid nicks & cuts that often occur behind the ankle, flex your heel to stretch the skin while you shave.
FOR BIKINI AREA & UNDER ARMS:
- The skin in these areas is softer and more pliable, and the hair is coarser, making it prone to razor burn and ingrown hairs. Take precaution by first shaving gently with the direction of hair growth, then re-lather and shave lightly against the direction of the growth.
4. Moisturize
- The Art of Shaving After-Shave Body Milk soothes and protects the skin, and replenishes lost moisture after shaving or at any time. Apply all over the body, legs and delicate areas. Leaves your skin feeling soft and moisturized throughout day with a delicate aroma.
- INGROWN HAIRS can be prevented by using The Perfect Shave products and techniques. If they do occur, moisturize the affected area after shaving and again at bedtime with The Art of Shaving Ingrown Hair Night Cream

Plus they also fuel your body with lots of good stuff, like Vitamin C, Calcium and 6-7 wonderful grams of protein. These nutritious, great-tasting drinks make achieving a lighter lifestyle a lot more fun!
