WOW! The surprising FOOD TRICKS ACTORS — — USE TO TRANSFORM THE WAY THEY LOOK..!

December 31, 2014 By TheLifestylista

Queen-queen-latifah-30656178-1280-800In Oprah’s movie ‘The Butler’, #DavidOyelowo is a 37 year old man but to play #Oprah’s 17 year old son, he didn’t use makeup to make himself look younger. He just slept 10 hours a night and drank lots of water. And as his character aged, he reduced how much he did both. And when he needed a puffier face as he got older, he just ate food that was filled with salt….
If that’s what sleep and water and salty foods can do to an actor, what about us??!
#TheButler

I’m here rooting for you!

WANT TO LOOK 10 YEARS YOUNGER? Get answers from a world class dermatologist

December 10, 2014 By TheLifestylista

“YES” or “NO”? WANT TO LOOK 10 YEARS YOUNGER? Get answers from a world class dermatologist!
WHAT CA– — USES OUR SKIN TO AGE:
<<“Regardless of what causes aging or disease or even wrinkles.  The final common pathway is that there is a reduction of water in our tissues.  Yes we can say that life is simply a slow process of dehydration.  We wilt and wither over time, just like that plant you forgot to water until it was too late.”>>
CarnivalCostumeIMG_0073HOW DO WE GET MORE WATER?  SHOULD WE JUST DRINK IT?  No.  Drink it AND Eat it.  EAT it???!  What?
<<“Eat your water…  The water we consume when we eat fresh fruit and vegetables isn’t just any water.  It’s water that is encapsulated within the structure of food to provide us with a slow and steady infusion as we digest.  It’s also water that is locked into foods that are rich in anti-oxidants and other key nutrients, which protect and promote cellular integrity.  This is exactly the kind of water we should be drinking”.>>
Eat water-rich vegetables and fruit!  You will see the difference in your skin!

A step too far for beauty OR a great, bold move? Dimple surgery…

November 24, 2014 By TheLifestylista


AGREE or DISAGREE – WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS? #Beauty Girl has surgery to get dimples. Trainee lawyer, Cherelle Campbell, said “When God was giving out dimples I was at the back of the line!” VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHLLwgP3cH8

Cherelle starred in the British documentary, ‘Bodyshockers: My Piercing Hell’. She always wanted dimples just like her celebrity idol Cheryl Cole… so she got surgery to get them. The doctor punched a hole into her cheeks using a scalpel and then used stitches to create her dream dimples.

How did Cherelle get the idea?: “I was online with my friend and we were basically having a joke about what procedures you could and couldn’t do. I was like wow, I didn’t know you could do your dimples!”

When Cherelle first did the operation, the dimples were so deep she was a bit worried but after a few days they settled down and she loves them. They’re like she was born with them!

What do you think? Was this Cherelle boldly taking her life and her beauty into her own hands OR was it a step too far?

I love you and I’m here rooting for you!

Crazy, celeb BEAUTY SECRET… DIAPER NAPPY RASH CREAM! Pimples, acne, dry skin…

November 22, 2014 By TheLifestylista

LupitaNyongoSAGAwards2014Who’s got better skin than Lupita??? When it comes to dealing with pimples and dry skin, some celebrities have got a very inexpensive secret… Cheryl Cole told a British magazine that she uses Sudocrem (a British nappy rash creme) to “draw out her spots” because “it really works”. She’s not alone. Loads of Brits now carry little tubes of this nappy cream in their bags as a secret beauty aid.

WHAT’S IN IT AND WHY DOES IT WORK?
Key ingredients of Sudocrem nappy rash cream (compare this to your diaper rash creme)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudocrem
” —ZINC OXIDE 15.25% – astringent, soothing, protective

[LIFESTYLISTA: Lots of expensive beauty products contain zinc oxide. It brings down inflammation, dries out pimples and soothes & helps skin heal. If you’re allergic to zinc this won’t be a good choice for you though!]

— Lanolin (hypoallergenic) 4% – emollient
[LIFESTYLISTA: lanolin is moisturizing BUT some people are allergic to it. Beware!]

— Benzyl alcohol 0.39% – mild anesthetic
[LIFESTYLISTA: helps to soothe the OUCH of a painful pimple!] and disinfectant.

— Benzyl cinnamate 0.15% – antibacterial
[LIFESTYLISTA: helps to kill naughty acne causing bacteria] and antifungal.”

If you have a baby, just steal a bit of diaper rash cream when no one’s looking LOL! Think of it as a mother’s perk 🙂 And if you don’t have a baby, just BRAZENLY go to the pharmacy and ask them for diaper rash creme (with at least 15% zinc oxide and look at the other ingredients too).

Diaper rash cream is cheap, simple and easy to get… like stealing candy from a baby 🙂 [Sometimes I’m not as funny as I’d like to be – wanted to find a joke to put here but nothing’s coming 🙂

And just remember, I’m not a doctor so this isn’t a diagnosis of your particular skin condition!
I’m here rooting for you.
love,

Kara

4 EFFECTIVE WAYS TO BEAUTIFY YOUR SKIN & GET RID OF BLACKHEADS…

October 21, 2014 By TheLifestylista

4 EFFECTIVE WAYS TO BEAUTIFY YOUR SKIN & GET RID OF BLACKHEADS… “WHY DO I HAVE BLACKHEADS???” You’ve got dirt and dead skin cells clogging your pores… that’s why! And when you have blackheads, acne is often not far behind….

4 QUICK WAYS TO GET RID OF BLACKHEADS:
First clean your face then try one of these…

1) STEAM METHOD BOWL:
– Fill a bowl with hot water (be careful!)
– Put your face over the bowl
– Put a big towel over your head and let the steam do the work… opening up the pores
HOT TOWEL:
– Rest a hot towel (not too hot it burns you!) on your face for 5 – 10 mins
– The pores open
Once the pores are open, take 2 clean cotton balls (preferably hypo allergenic) and use them to ‘ease out’ the naughty blackheads out of your skin. Aaaaaaah. How disgusting and rewarding
Remember… Don’t squeeze with your fingers… Or else you could scar your face!

2) THE LIME METHOD
– Cut a lime in half.
– Pour some honey onto the lime (preferably dark and it’d be amazing if it were raw and organic too)
– rub the honey’d half lime all over your clean face… Let the honey & lime mixture stay on your face for 3 – 5 mins.
– Rinse off your face
This takes longer to work – several weeks of repeating this process!

3) EGG WHITE METHOD
– Separate the egg white from the yolk.
– Use a fork or whisk to beat the the egg whites
– Use your hands to put the beaten egg whites all over your face
– Put clean tissue on your nose (or wherever else you have blackheads) and leave for 45 minutes (or until totally dry)
– Once the tissue is dry, gently remove (and take a look at the gross blackheads now on the tissues heheheh
– Rinse off your face

4) ASPIRIN MASK See my article on how to make an aspirin mask… (and please pay attention to all my CAUTIONS about this one too!!!) https://thelifestylista.com/?p=2029

Blackheads are no joke and can sooooo lead to acne…
You go girl, it’s worth taking a little time to take care of yourself.

I’m here rooting for you!

GREEN 'Husband' Smoothie to boost your ENERGY, get HEALTHY & get glowing, radiant SKIN. PRINTABLE RECIPE!

October 6, 2014 By TheLifestylista


Woooohoooo!  Hello you! Here’s my HUSBAND SMOOTHIE recipe VIDEO: http://youtu.be/MgG5Ri3Z66Q 🙂 Drink your greens to achieve your dreams… This mixture will help you boost your energy, get healthy & look gorgeous too!

[edamam-recipe-recipe:2]

— INGREDIENTS:

2 cups of organic berries (e.g. 1 cup of blueberries & 1 cup of strawberries)
Optional: 0.5 cup of frozen pineapple
2 cups of water (or optional: Unsweetened Coconut Water)
1.5 tablespoons ground flaxseed
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1 serving of protein powder (I use a plant-based pea protein, use a protein powder you like)
2 cups raw organic kale (or another dark leafy green e.g. collard greens, mustard greens or spinach) I sometimes use 3 cups if I want it greener!
1 – 2 bananas (depending on how sweet you like it!)

[My full recipe – I have a HUGE blender!
4 cups of organic berries (e.g. 2 cups of blueberries & 2 cups of strawberries)
1 / 2 cup of frozen pineapple
4 cups of water (or optional: Unsweetened Coconut Water)
3 tablespoons ground flaxseed
2 tablespoons chia seeds
2 servings of protein powder (I use a plant-based pea protein, use a protein powder you like)
4 cups raw organic kale (or another dark leafy green e.g. collard greens, mustard greens or spinach) I sometimes use 6 cups if I want it greener!
2 – 4 bananas (depending on how sweet you like it!)]

— DIRECTIONS:

Put the frozen berries (& optional: frozen pineapple) in the blender.  Add the water (or option: unsweetened coconut water).  Cover the blender and puree until it’s smooth.
Grind your flaxseed and add to the blender.  Add the chia seeds and the protein powder.  Cover with the kale.  Blend the mixture until it is smooth.
Add the bananas.  Blend the mixture again until it’s the consistency you like.  Feel free to add extra water if you want a more liquid consistency.
Pour into a glass and drink!  YUM! 🙂  So tasty and soooooooo nutritious.

— ABOUT THE FANTASTIC ingredients:

KALE (and other dark leafy greens like collard greens, mustard greens or spinach)
Kale is the KING of GREENS! 🙂
– A cup of Kale contains twice your recommended daily allowance of Vitamin A, 6 times your RDA of Vitamin K (powerful anti-oxidant that can help ward off cancer), nearly 1.5 times your RDA of Vitamin C (to help boost your immunity).  Not only does Kale provide loads of anti-oxidants (Vitamins A, C, K) it also is a great source of sulfur containing phytonutrients.  Kale also helps to lower your cholesterol and reduce your risk of getting heart disease!
– Beauty: anti-aging – research has shown that eating kale acts as a natural SPF for the skin.  It helps the skin protect itself from the sun’s wrinkle-making UV damage… (sounds wild but it’s true!)

FLAXSEEDS: It’s good to have some flaxseed (2 tablespoons) everyday.  It must be ground (if you just eat the seeds you’ll excrete them undigested and you won’t get the benefits!)

– Loads of fiber so it’s great for your digestive system too.  You get about 8g of fiber for each tablespoon.  This’ll keep you regular – yay!
– Flax is a great source of Omega 3 fatty acids.  Our bodies can’t make Omega 3s and most American’s are deficient in them.
Omega 3s act play an important role in our body’s anti-inflammatory system and they are great for our brains too.  Omega 3 fatty acids also help keep our skin looking younger and gorgeously, radiantly healthy!
– Loads of Vitamin E – it’s great for your skin.
– Flax contain lignans which help to regulate your hormone levels (so brilliant for Pre Menstrual Tension / Syndrome if you get that! Grrrr!) AND help reduce the risk of prostate cancer in men and breast cancer in women.
—Buy flax as seeds, keep it in the fridge and grind it in a coffee grinder as you need it.  If you buy the shop bought pre-ground flaxseeds, you’ll find it goes rancid quickly…

CHIA SEEDS: Chia is considered to be a superfood because it is extremely nutrient dense (loads of nutrients for a small amount of calories).
– Fiber: Two tablespoons (1 oz) of chia seeds contain more than 10 grams of fiber!  That’s 40% of your recommended daily allowance!
– Omega 3’s: gram for gram, Chia seeds have more Omega 3s than salmon!  It’s one of the most concentrated food sources of Omega 3 anywhere.
– Calcium: Two tablespoons (1 oz) of chia seeds will give you 20% of your recommended daily allowance of calcium!
– Fills you up: Chia absorbs 10 times it’s own weight in water.  It expands and creates a gorgeous ‘gel’ that fills you up AND thickens your smoothie.  YAY!

BERRIES: huge providers of fiber, nutrients, anti-oxidants that help you live longer, look better and feel amazing!
Buy your berries organic (to avoid yucky pesticides AND to up the nutrient content – organic food is grown using natural fertilizer so it’s richer in nutrients!).
If you get frozen organic berries you’ll save loads of money (vs buying them fresh)!

BANANA: We should get 4700 mg of potassium every day but most of us get much less.
A medium banana contains about 430 mg of potassium (so one banana will give us about 10% of our daily potassium requirement!)
We need potassium to help balance the sodium (salt) / potassium ratio in our bodies.  This is crucial for lots of reasons including preventing (or even treating) high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease and more…  Potassium is also important for muscle contraction.

Enjoy!

love you!

3 THINGS YOU MUST KNOW ABOUT STRETCH MARKS

September 17, 2014 By TheLifestylista

CarnivalCostumeIMG_0073

3 THINGS YOU MUST KNOW ABOUT STRETCH MARKS… COMMENT – VOTE “yes” or “no” below.

(1) WHAT ARE STRETCH MARKS? This is the tearing of the skins second layer (the dermis). Often occurs during periods of significant weight gain or growth.
(2) HOW TO PREVENT THEM? Some studies suggest Vitamin E oil… Stay hydrated, eat foods that promote skin elasticity (Vitamins A, E, Omega 3s) and exercise to promote circulation.
(3) HOW TO REMOVE THEM? You can reduce them but you can’t remove them… and sadly, the creams dont work! Not even cocoa butter. The sooner you treat stretch marks the better. Use a laser while they’re still fresh and red. The heat from the laser stimulates collagen production.
THE BOTTOM LINE… Accept yourself girl! Most of us have stretch marks and we’re still beautiful!
