Chanel make up for the summer

Posted by julia on 17 May 2007 | Tagged as: Beauty, beauty products

What can I say about Chanel and their make-up collection, it speaks for itself. Brilliant colors of neutrals depending how you feel that day. Even though these products are a little pricey, I really can´t help myself, holding that little black case with the CC emblem in my hands, there is nothing better…

Swimming is the best exercise this summer

Posted by julia on 16 May 2007 | Tagged as: exercie

The good weather has arrived in most parts of the world and we are already thinking about our bodies and how we could possibly fit back in to our swimsuit after so many long days of winter where the only thing we did was eat and eat some more (yes, that´s what I did)-

Well, the summer is the best time to take advantage and swim. Swimming is an excellent exercise that helps maintain your body is shape without the strain of an aerobic workout and with the same results. Swimming is considered an aerobic exercise an its practice helps improve your breathing and compared to other sports you could probably go longer than others without getting too workedup.

Like any other exercise you should consult your doctor to make sure that swimming is an appropriate exercise for you. If all goes well you will not only be in shape this summer but a little tan as well.

Could you have a disease because you are too healthy?

Posted by julia on 15 May 2007 | Tagged as: Health, food

Today I read an article in the newspaper that stated that doctors are diagnosing more and more cases of orthorexia every day. What is Orthorexia?

Wikipedia describes it as a term coined by Dr. Steven Bratman, a Colorado MD, to denote an eating disorder characterized by a fixation on eating what the sufferer considers to be healthful food, which can ultimately lead to early death.

Food obsession and too much health obsession can affect all of us. I admit I have a couple of the signs of this disorder, I worry about what I eat and I feel very guilty when I indulge in things I know are not good for me. But at the end of the day I feel very good about myself and I know if I live a healthy life in moderation that is all that matters.

So if you find yourself obsessing about this post, relax and trust yourself, use your intuition and live life to the fullest without going overboard with the healthy stuff.

Jurlique, organic beauty products

Posted by julia on 10 May 2007 | Tagged as: Beauty, beauty products

Imagine that you could go right to your back yard and choose whatever herbal plant you wanted and addeded to your favorite moisturizer so you can boost its benefits from having fresh herbs. That would be nice but who would have time? But I found a cosmetics company that has its own herb farm.

Yes, its own herb farm, how cool is that, they are a totally organic company that believes in conserving natural beauty, they don´t tests on animals and have an awesome product range that is reasonably priced.

I´m going to try a couple of these products out and will let you know how they do.

The best anti-aging foundation is…….

Posted by julia on 09 May 2007 | Tagged as: Beauty, beauty products

According to Telegraph the best anti-aging foundation on the market right now is Resiliense Lift Extreme Ultra Firming Make-up from Estee Lauder. Now this doesn’t´t surprise me in the bit since it is the actual foundation I´m using at the moment. and I love it.

a friend of mine recommended and you know me I must try every single product that is recommended. I really love this foundation because it is not only light weight yet gives you great coverage. You can actually feel the lifting part (well, I´m convinced I can or could be wishful thinking), it leaves your skin flawless all day long and the best part is the SPF 15 that I ca´t go without.

Check out the article and see if your favorite foundation made the cut.

Do you like Soy?

Posted by julia on 08 May 2007 | Tagged as: Health, food

Soy and soy products have an extraordinary nutritional power, and more and more nutritionist are figuring this out and studying its health benefits. If you haven´t tasted soy, I think its about time you start learning a little more about it.

soy not only contains isovaflones that can be found only in plants and contain a high antioxidant power. what does this all mean?, well, it means that these little beans can help guard your skin against free radicals, which are the little critters that pollute or skin and make us age faster.

Aside from that, which to me is one of the most important assets of this little miracle bean, Soy also helps prevent heart disease, protects you from cancer, counteracts the effects of endometriosis, prevents prostate problems, helps with osteoporosis, controls menopause symptoms, and helps diabetes. What else do you want?

So, start adding soy to your everyday diet and you will start to see its benefits.

What is Acerola?

acerola.jpg

Well, if you haven´t heard about this fruit yet, it´s time you track it down and try it. It looks very much like cherries but they are a little softer and have a more citrus taste. They are native to South America, Central America and the Caribbean.

This fruit is different from the rest because it is said to contain more than 65% more vitamin C than an orange. It also contains vitamins B1, B2, niacin, and potassium among other nutrients. How can such a little thing be so potent? In many parts of the world acerolas are used as anti inflammatory, astringents, fungecide and much, much more.

Ask your local grocer where you can get some and start to enjoy the benefits today.
