Got PUFFY EYEBAGS and need a 7 minute way to zap em???

June 12, 2013 By TheLifestylista

Celeb eyebag trick: Dip cotton balls in ICE COLD MILK, rest on eyes for 7 mins and ZAP PUFFINESS!

Using full fat milk will help to soothe your skin if it’s irritated.   The coldness of the milk helps bring down any inflammation and causes temporary constriction (shrinking) of your blood vessels.
It’s quick and it works… And it’s strangely relaxing too.

REDUCE CELLULITE USING COFFEE GROUNDS… A TYRA BANKS TRICK!

June 3, 2013 By TheLifestylista

WHAT IS CELLULITE?

Girl… are you tired of the orange-peely, lumpy, dimpled skin tends to be on our behinds and the thighs?  Most women have some cellulite – even super stars – we just don’t see it because their cellulite is airbrushed out in most of the pictures we see.  No point looking outside of ourselves for the perfect woman.  WE ARE THE PERFECT WOMAN 🙂 cellulite and all!
tyra-banks-cellulite-thighs_204006881
That said, if you want to temporarily reduce your cellulite, check this out:
WHAT TO DO
1) Take 1/2 cup of ground coffee
2) Add 1/3 cup of boiling water
3) Stir and leave for 7 mins (to allow the coffee grinds to soak up all the water)
4) Stir in 5 tablespoons of baby oil or olive oil or lotion (we’re using it to bind together the coffee so it’s easier to rub on the body)
5) Take a warm shower to make the skin clean.
6) Turn of the water and massage the coffee mixture into your cellulite-y areas
HOW THIS WORKS…
The coffee contains caffeine and the caffeine causes the blood vessels to expand.  This causes a reduction in the amount of water retention AND increases the blood flow to the area.  The overall effect is a temporary tightening and smoothing of the cellulite affected area.
Lots of expensive cellulite creams use caffeine but this homemade method is practically free!

For a more permanent cellulite reduction try regular exercise (including resistance training to tone muscle), weight loss (if you are overweight), drinking 8 glasses of water a day and eating healthily (to avoid the build up of toxins). No one can promise total cellulite removal but you can reduce it (if you want to…)  I find mine kinda beautiful 🙂

I’m here rooting for you!

GOT BIG EYE BAGS YOU WANT TO GET RID OFF? CHANGE HOW YOU EAT, SLEEP and TAKE CARE OF YOUR SKIN…

May 12, 2013 By TheLifestylista

Baggy EyesHolisticallyhautedotcom

CHANGE HOW YOU EAT:
If you want to sock it to water retention & swollen eye bags then cut down on alcohol and salty foods.
Salty foods are the biggest culprit here and alcohol makes you retain water like a flipping sponge! There’s a direct relationship between how much alcohol you drink and the water you retain… Try drinking a glass of water for each glass of alcohol you drink.
This is serious! After years of water retention, you can actually stretch the skin in that area so your eye bags become permanent…

CHANGE HOW YOU SLEEP:
Gravity is no joke! If you sleep on your front or on your side, the fluid collects around your eyes and you are much more likely to wake up with eye bags… Some people who sleep on e.g. their right side, find that their right eye bag is much bigger than their left… (fluid collecting overnight). And if you want to prevent the pooling of fluid in your eyebags, sleep on your back and elevate your head by adding an extra pillow.

SKINCARE ROUTINE:
Be VERY GENTLE with the thin skin underneath your eyes – it’s easy to damage. And, please keep your skin moisturized if you want to preserve your skin’s elasticity…

A QUICK WAY TO GET RID OF EYE BAGS
Get a cold spoon (soaked in ice water or put in the freezer for a few mins) and rest it on your puffy eye bags… (Some people use cut raw potato or cold soaked teabags or cucumber).

OTHER CA– — USES OF EYEBAGS: Your eye bags may also be caused by allergies (in which case try an antihistamine) or they may also be caused by fat pads (inherited or brought on by by age).

Eyebags or no eyebags you are beautiful girl!
I am here rooting for you.
Keep your questions coming.
love,

GOT PERIOD PAIN? Still drinking all that coffee and Coke..?

April 27, 2013 By TheLifestylista

GOT-PERIOD-PAIN-AXECaffeine

If you’ve got period pain, stop taking in caffeine!  It raises levels of tension and it casuses blood vessels to constrict (get smaller) which makes cramps even worse!  Yuk!
