The best hairstyles for summer are fun, sexy, and of course easy to manage. No matter what your hair type might be, you can find a great summer hair style that plays up your best features. There are so many different hairstyles you can take advantage of this summer.

Fancy Updo

Going to a formal party or a nice restaurant? Then you may want a fancy, sophisticated updo. Try a classy French twist. Simply pull your hair back into a ponytail, twist it, and tuck the ends underneath the twist. Use bobby pins to keep it in place. Pull a few wispy hair strands out to frame face, light hairspray, and you’re good to go.

Casual Updo

You can wear this look anywhere. Pull your hair up loosely on top of your head and keep it secure with bobby pins, or pull your hair back into a ponytail, twist it, and leave ends out for an undone look.

Romantic Waves

Romantic waves are back and popular than ever. Looks best on long and medium length hair. Set hair on medium sized hot rollers for long lasting curls. Don’t forget to spray on a heat protectant like Tresemme heat protectant spray before rolling hair. When rollers are dry, unroll and separate curls. If you want a more natural look, use medium and small curlers to get a variety of curls.

Blunt Bangs

The Blunt Bang hairstyle is in for summer. It’s a great way to bring more attention and beauty to your eyes. To intensify your eyes even more with this look, eye makeup is the key. Blunt Bangs is also a great way to help balance a slightly bigger forehead and soften facial features.

Angled Bob Hairstyle

Trendiest looks for summer is the angled bob hairstyle. Trendsetters like Rhianna, Katie Homes, and Victoria Beckham has made this style so popular. What’s great about this hairstyle is that it can be angled any way you would like which gives your hairstyle more options. The most popular is the classic bob where the front is longer than the back.

Ponytail

Ponytail is the easiest style and always a great look for summer. You get a cool hairstyle with minimal work. You can go from casual to classy with a little help of styling gel and bobby pins. A few strategically placed highlights can enhance your summer hairstyle.

Straight and Sleek

Use a straightening serum after shampooing your hair. Then blow dry hair with high heat using a large round brush. After blowdrying, use a flat iron to get a fabulous sleek look. Use a shine spray with sunscreen for maximum protection, beauty, and shine.

The answer to the age-old question of “What is the best ab workout for losing stomach fat?” is…

None! Ab workouts alone don’t create enough of a metabolic response in your body to create fat loss.

As a trainer, nutrition specialist, and fitness professional, I often get asked what the best types of exercises and workouts are for losing stubborn stomach fat in order to bring out visible six pack abs. The problem is that most people with excess stomach fat looking to try to uncover their abs are searching for some “miracle abdominal workout” that is going to slash the fat off their abs in no time.

The thing is… they are going about the problem entirely the wrong way! The truth is that you don’t lose stomach fat by doing ab workouts.

The problem is that focusing most of your time and effort on abdominal exercises and abs workouts to try to flatten your stomach and bring out 6-pack abs is simply wasting your time from doing the correct workout programs that will acutally reduce your body fat for good.

If I were to choose an answer as to what the best exercises are for losing belly fat, my answer would include full body exercises such as the following:

various forms of squats, lunges, deadlifts, clean & presses, snatches, swings, presses and pulls, mountain climbers, sprinting, etc.

These types of full body exercises would encompass a much higher percentage of the workouts I would design instead of abs exercises directly targeting the midsection. The way you combine those full body exercises into a strategic workout that maximizes your metabolism is also very important.

Don’t get me wrong… I do recommend a certain amount of exercises that directly target the abs and core, but these are only a small fraction of the programs I design for my clients as your time is better spent focusing on the full body exercises that stimulate the greatest hormonal and metabolic changes within the body. In addition, a side-effect of working out using mostly full body multi-joint combo exercises are that you indirectly work your entire midsection even though you are not specifically targeting the abs.

Keep in mind that the most important factor for losing belly fat to see your abs is actually in the nutrition arena. No matter how hard you workout, if your diet is full of junk, then your abdominals will be covered with ugly fat. Nutrition is without a doubt the “king of getting a six pack”.

So let’s clear this up for good…

Stop wasting so much of your time focusing on situps, crunches, leg raises, and all those silly worthless “ab contraptions” in your efforts to try to develop 6-pack abs. Instead focus on high intensity full body lifts using combination multi-joint exercises all strategically combined into highly effective fat loss workouts. Couple that with a healthy diet full of natural unprocessed whole foods as close to their natural state as possible, and those elusive six-pack abdominals will yours in no time!

So, I was looking through the beauty section in Glamour magazine the other day and I came across this new hair removal system that’s been getting a lot of raves. It’s called No!No! and it’s supposedly a new revolutionary concept in hair removal which can be used on all hair types and skin color. This was very intriguing to me so I kept reading and I found out that there are a lot of positives using this product.

This is what it does:

It’s a hair removal product which can be used at home, with no mess, no cuts, no burns, and no noise. No!No! uses a new technology called Thermicon, which transfers gentle pulses of heat to the hair. The heat destroys the hair which eventually leads to hair reduction. There’s no pain, and you don’t have to wait for your hair to grow back in order to use it. There’s also no skin irritation like ingrown hairs, pimples, or rashes.

Even though it’s not a miracle cure for unwanted hair since it takes time and dedication to achieve your desired results, it’s a good replacement for professional hair treatment, and hello!!! it’s INEXPENSIVE! Here’s another plus: It comes in three different colors!

Most professional hair treatment ranges from $150-$300 or more depending on the area being treated so No!No! is definitely a good alternative.

The one negative about this product is that it’s not for use on the face. So this wouldn’t be a good product for women with some facial hair. Sorry. No worries though. There are still some great shaving products out there you can use to help with facial hair. Just remember to use a product that treats or prevent ingrown hairs.

Overall, sounds like a great product and I’m heading out right now to buy one.

I was at the grocery store (super-market) yesterday and had to shake my head at all of the clever deceptive food labeling that’s everywhere. In every aisle, I saw tons of products claiming all sorts of things that are supposedly “healthy”, but are not in reality. This is food marketing deception at its worst.

One of the things I noticed that really disturbed me was that I saw multiple examples of healthy foods in their natural state, while also noticing counterfeit overly processed versions of these original foods claiming that they were healthier than the natural version.

However, in reality, all of these fake versions were actually MUCH worse for you than the original… and they still have the balls to claim that their overly processed “junkified” versions are better.

The sad thing is that millions of people fall for this deceptive food marketing every day. Here are a couple examples I noticed:

Example #1: Product claiming to be “Better than peanut butter”

This product is ridiculous! I can’t believe anyone would ever believe that this processed junk is better for them than natural minimally processed peanut butter.

First of all, if you buy a good natural organic peanut butter, it is usually very simply only two ingredients… peanuts and salt. And they do not add much salt so it is not a high sodium product.

However, this counterfeit peanut butter which claimed it was “better than peanut butter” (trying to seem healthier than natural peanut butter based on its label claims) had a list of processed junk in it you wouldn’t believe. First of all, they strip all of the natural healthy fats out of the peanuts so that it is a “low fat” product. Alright, now you have just taken away one of the healthiest parts of the peanut butter… the appetite satisfying healthy fats that you need to control cravings and manage more stable blood sugar levels in your body.

To make things worse, the healthy fats were replaced with 2 different types of sugar-based syrups as well as additional dehydrated cane juice (aka SUGAR), in addition to added refined starches (in case you didn’t get enough blood-sugar spiking refined carbs yet).

This product has taken something as simple and natural as peanut butter, and turned it into what should really be called some sort of processed junk candy. Yet, they claim that it is healthier for you than peanut butter. And somehow they get away with deceiving the masses like this on their label. Do not be their fool!

Example #2: Product claiming to be “better than eggs”.

I won’t get as detailed on this one because I recently went into good detail on this entire topic in another ezine issue.

Basically, this product is just egg whites with a bunch of added chemical colorings, flavorings, and other nonsense, including artificially added vitamins.

Again, this product has essentially ruined a good thing by removing the healthiest part… the YOLKS! And yes, the yolks ARE the healthiest part of the egg. Anybody that tells you different does not understand much about real nutrition. The important thing to look for in quality whole eggs are cage-free and organic.

Most people don’t realize that almost all of the quality nutrition of an egg is found in the yolks. The majority of the vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and trace nutrients are found in the yolks, not the whites. Even the protein in the whites isn’t as high quality in terms of bioavailability without the amino acid profile of the yolk that complements the amino acid profile of the whites.

And no, the cholesterol in eggs is not bad for you… it actually raises your good cholesterol more than bad cholesterol improving your overall profile. And the fats in whole eggs are balanced and healthy for you as well.

Bottom line… whole eggs are healthier than egg whites. It’s not even a close comparison. The label claims are just another example of food marketing deception.

Example #3: A product claiming to be “better than butter”.

This was essentially crappy margarine which is loaded with highly processed and deadly trans fats, yet it had the nerve to claim it was “better than butter”.

Don’t fall for it!

Even low quality butter is better for you than any margarine on the market. One problem with butter are the pesticides and hormones frequently found within from improperly raised cows.

For this reason, it’s always a good choice to go with organic butter, and if you can find grass-fed butter, then I would even say it can be healthy for you. Grass-fed butter is higher in the natural form of beneficial conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). In fact, adding a little butter to your steamed vegetables helps your body to absorb more of the vitamins and minerals in the veggies.

Also, due to the content of stable saturated fats in butter, this makes butter one of the best oils to cook with. Oils that are high in polyunsaturated fats such as soy, corn, safflower (and even flax) are the worst to cook with due to the highly unstable nature of their chemistry. I have a fully comprehensive article on which oils are healthiest for cooking and which are not based on their chemistry.

Looking for a lipstick that brings beauty and health to the lips and is also environmental- friendly? Well, here’s the heads up on all you GREEN lovers. Cargo cosmetics just made a lipstick line called PlantLove Botanical Lipstick. What’s fascinating about this lipstick is that it’s made entirely of corn. When I first read that on the box, I was shocked. Who knew you could make lipstick out of corn. Anyway, this environmental-friendly innovation also emits less greenhouse gases which is believed to be the major cause of global warming. The outer carton of the lipstick is made up of flower paper with real flowers seeds embedded in it. How neat is that! I like how it goes on smooth and silky for a lipstick that’s made out of corn. I was very impressed. It contains no mineral oils or petroleums so again it’s ENVIRONMENTAL-FRIENDLY. It comes in several shades; however, 10 of those shades were created by 10 celebrities:

Evangeline: Evangeline Lily, Lindsay: Lindsay Lohan, Maria: Maria Menunous, Mariska: Mariska Hargitay, Sarah: Sarah Chalke, Cherry Bliss: Kim Raver, Grace and Faith: Angie Harmon, Sam and Lola: Denise Richards

There’s plenty of shades to choose from. My favorite is Lola.

A new breakthrough secret is all you now need in order to forever shed countless pounds, stay healthy, and add many years to your life!

A lady doctor from Arizona has blown the lid off the best-kept secret in weight loss ever discovered — and this has the whole diet food and drug industries turned upside down and in nothing less than a torrential uproar.

Her name is Dr Suzanne Gudakunst, and she’s marching to the beat of a different drum.

And no, nothing about her “secret” is difficult — nor does it require that you do something completely out of the ordinary or anything unnatural.

Instead, the Arizonian boasts proudly “…this is something that I caught onto just before 2002 when there was so much research and exploration going around concerning the human colon and digestive system working in harmony with nutritional absorption, and I started doing independent studies just to test things at first … but which I later expanded on after seeing some fantastic results.”

This same woman medical practitioner went on to accurately determine a definitive correlation between harmful plague and parasitic infestations of the human bowel tract, and people suffering chronic obesity — and who despite intense diet and exercise appeared to be unable to lose any weight whatsoever.

Over the course of six years the Arizona doctor developed a number of natural treatments for the removal of these same harmful, even life-threatening plaques and rapidly reproducing digestive parasites — and when applied to even worse-case patients suffering extreme obesity (98% of which were in immediate danger of dying) she saw a 100% effectiveness and success rate.

She then borrowed from her research on the severely obese, and applied the same strategies on milder cases of overweight persons — only to find the same effectiveness and quality results as described above (although the individual weight loss per subject wasn’t nearly as much as those obese patients 100 lbs to 200 lbs or more overweight).

So powerful is her secret that she’s able to reverse diabetes, rid illness altogether in people suffering from cancer (linked directly to poor diet and overweight factors), as well as an elimination of an entire spectrum of serious and otherwise life-threatening diseases.

Nearly 100% of all her case subjects were told in the alternative by “conventional doctors” that they either had just months or years to live, or they would never live a life anything resembling remotely a “normal” existence — yet after applying Dr Suzanne’s treatments saw a complete contradiction to others doctors’ prognoses.

Again, nothing about her secret is unnatural or requires someone to do any major action or modification in their lives.

In fact, her entire treatment is based completely on built-into-nature ‘protection agents’ scattered throughout the world in the form of select herbs, extracts, and organic constituents, and which can be found in a variety of plants — but when combined in specific combinations and carefully chosen amounts make for a solution to what is perhaps the world’s worst ever plague: OBESITY (and the illnesses and diseases resulting from it — or at least severely aggravated or exacerbated by it).

Now to everyone else’s great gain, whether suffering from just a few extra pounds and inches, to those extremely fat and overweight, this brave, bold lady doctor is releasing to the general public her secret for forever destroying the tight unrelenting closed-fist of obesity’s stronghold over the now more than 40% of Americans labeled obese, and others worldwide.

But she’s not promising any of us for how long.

Some experts and sociologists suggest that in the bigger scheme of things, the world will never tolerate a discovery of such magnitude, any more than it would be realistic to expect a car that runs on water (even if very real) to ever become commercially available to the general public for day-to-day use.

One well-respected and famous diet & wellness author wrote years ago that if anyone ever “truly unlocked the keys to permanent fat loss, they may actually suffer the same fate as JFK.”

It is currently available at:

…so you may want to head on over there now and get it and before someone or “something” gets it forever yanked out of ever getting in YOUR hand at least.

It’s in a very easily readable format and is quickly and readily understood and mastered by anyone with even a 4th grade reading level.

While you’re there, why not scroll down and review for yourself the huge successes others are now having with this incredible breakthrough in rapid, massive weight loss and extremely improved and enhanced health, now made freely available to the rest of us?

We all suffer from acne, which is a constant battle to our skin. I have been suffering from acne on my face and back since my teenage years and the truth is, there’s no cure to get rid of acne completely. There are days when my skin is healthy and blemish free and then there are other days when I have pimples all over my face. We all get those days; however, there are several people who suffer with acne everyday. Acne is caused by several factors such as stress, puberty, hormonal imbalance, over production of sebum by sebaceous glands, clogged hair follicle, and etc. The only way to treat acne is to control it. I am going to share with you some products that I have used in the past and still using, also some products that has gotten great reviews.

Philosophy Acne Kit ($47)

I have oily skin so this product brings beauty and health back to my skin. It’s benzoyl peroxide free, it suppresses oil production, it exfoliates, and keeps your skin glowing. It comes with a face wash for oily skin, a blemish serum for acne, hydrogen peroxide cream that helps sanitize the skin from bacteria, and a protection cream. It’s a great product, one I would definitely recommend.

Zeno ($185)

I just started using this a month ago, and this is amazing. It really does get rid of your pimples overnight. It’s a medical device that’s been cleared by the FDA that applies controlled heat to the pimple through a metal pad. It treats mild to moderate acne. If you feel that a pimple is forming and is coming to surface, just put this device directly onto your pimple and it will go away within 24 hours. It is costly, but if I had a device that can remove a pimple in less than 24 hours, I would definitely buy it.

Proactiv

Everyone has heard of Proactiv even celebrities. It’s a popular product because it does work and it is the #1 Acne Selling Treatment. I’ve used this product in the past when my acne was extremely bad and it did help to clear up my skin. I really like the defining clay mask which I still use on my face. It’s an inexpensive product, easy to use, and has promising results. It’s even great to use on other parts on the body besides the face.

So if you want beauty and health back into your skin, the only way to treat acne is by controlling it.

Stretch marks, also known as striae, is a type of skin scarring that occurs during pregnancy, weight gain, puberty, obesity, and other physical activities. Everyone, including myself, have suffered from stretchmarks and we all continue to battle with it and find ways on reducing or getting rid of them once and for all. Both men and women suffer from stretchmarks and it is very unappealing and embarassing to have.

There are a number of treatment options to remove stretchmarks and bring the beauty back into your skin. It has been said in the past that people with newer stretchmarks (red and purple color) has a better chance of reducing and eliminating them. Today, that is only partially true. Now, there are treatments to get rid of the older stretchmarks too.

I came across a product that has been known to give great results on old and new stretchmarks. It is an inexpensive skincare product, and it is proven to eliminate stetchmarks in 25 days. I’ve bought this product and tried it for about a week now and I have already started seeing improvements on my skin. This skincare product is called Captiva and the reason why it works so well is that it has similar benefits as microdermabrasion and laser therapy, but taking only a fraction of cost and time.

So, not all stretchmark creams are useless. This one actually works and has been featured on the Tyra Banks show. I am enjoying this product so far and it is starting to bring the beauty back into my skin.
