Toner

2005-09-10T10:48:00.000-07:00

Don't forget about toner. Water can leave a layer of yuck on your skin. Make sure to use toner on your face every morning and night.

prepackaged vegetables

2005-08-17T11:20:00.000-07:00

Did you know that vegetables that are packaged in bags are usually rinsed with a chlorinated wash? This sounds awful, but it's really good. It removes the insecticides and pesticides and other unnatural elements that farmers use to protect foods in the fields. So next time you're at the grocery store consider this alternative.

eat your brocolli

2005-08-02T09:33:00.000-07:00

Of all of the tree-like vegetables brocolli is the most nutritious. It even has cancer fighting properties. You can't beat that. Add cheese or butter or another seasoning for fun and get those vitamins.

red tea

2005-07-29T15:57:00.000-07:00

I've recently discovered the health benefits of Rooibos (red tea). Rooibos is naturally sweet, very aromatic and is high in magnesium, calcium, iron and copper.
It is a natural herb that is only harvested every two years. This tea can help to calm nervous tensions, eradicate allergies and help with stomach problems, indigestion and can boost the immune system. This tea contains over forty polyphenol compounds and flavonoids. This tea is also anti-bacterial, anti-aging and anti-viral.

Try some today. You won't be disappointed.

online exercise

2005-07-27T10:05:00.000-07:00

online excercise programs have come a long way. instead of mass marketing one program to the masses they're now making a go at tailoring a program to individuals based on their needs. fill out a simple survey and you're typecast into a group. from there you can receive weekly emails coaching you and providing support. i don't have any to recommend but it's well worth a search.

dove real beauty

2005-07-22T11:27:00.000-07:00

There's a new campaign for dove that shows real women, not just supermodels. It's a skin firming lotion. The slogan is tested on real curves on real women. I say kudos to dove. It's about time we break the beauty barrier.

2005-07-21T10:58:00.000-07:00

ponytails

2005-07-15T11:40:00.000-07:00

don't ever underestimate the power of a ponytail. they're easy to assemble, and all of those great holders make it that much more fashionable.

drink water

2005-07-14T11:36:00.000-07:00

Water This flushes out toxins, and keeps your skin clear and body hydrated. However, drinking at least 2 liters of water a day is not easy. The best trick I've learned is to reward yourself. After four eight-ounce glasses of water treat yourself to coffee or soda, drinks that don't have the natural benefits but still taste good.

take a walk

2005-07-13T12:33:00.000-07:00

feeling stressed out? take a walk. it's a great way to clear your mind and relax.
