 Remember! Always Exfoliate the skin (once every week will do) , you wouldn't want dead and dry skin, would you? By exfoliating and scrubbing the skin, this removes all the dead skin cells, and dry flaky skin, leaving new soft radiant skin behind.

Also, By adding moisturizer you keep the skin smooth and hydrated (depending on what moisturizer you are using). Same goes for using Sunscreen, a VERY Important ingredient for healthy skin. Whenever you are out, either going to the park, beach, flying kites, or anything outdoors under a hot summer and sunny day,  have your Sunscreen and apply a good layer on the visible skin. (One of my Summer Articles contain recommendations for a good Body & or Facial Sunscreen)

And that was Today's post! I hope this helped! It is very good to keep in mind, and you've got some great tips, article sources, deals & promotions right here! :)

Summer Lovin' :Makeup!

Hey Everyone!!!

:) 'Know what makes me smile? Knowing that you guys love to read my blog - so I've got some many, many great posts and special surprises for all of my readers!! Today I have a great post on a new "blog series" on FashionGirlz called Summer Lovin' . So...just to give you a hint of what your going to start seeing in the Summer Lovin' Blog series, today, I bring "Summer Lovin' : Makeup!"

 Okay, so let's start out with the "Top Summer Lovin' makeup picks!" -

The First pick here, is NYX Cosmetics  - The Caribbean Collection - 5 color Palette - it is such an easy small eyeshadow palette to keep in your summer bag, where you can just pull it out, fix yourself up by creating an easy yet beautiful eye makeup look. They have many many different color combination's for the Palette. And remember, this is the Latest NYX Cosmetics Collections for summer. And the best part is that it is in a great price range $8.75 which let me tell you the truth, is a very good deal. So this is one of my top "Summer Makeup" picks, that I'd definitely have for Summer 2010 (This is basically optional, usually when I go to the beach I carry a Waterproof Mascara, Bronzer or Blush, and an SPF Lip Balm with me - but this is optional, and also a great Makeup Pick!)

Next up, are the two NARS Cosmetics- Cream Blush & Bronzing Powder, these two I always use when it comes to summer, I've been using them for a while and I LOVE em'! Basically the Cream blush gives some bright color added to your cheeks which goes with all that "I've been out under the sun all day" kinda look. And it's perfect for summer. The Bronzing powder Is great for applying on the cheekbone, to give more definition. Both really great Blush & Bronzer powders, that I would totally recommend to anyone. And they are a great combination (or two types of face powders) used for summer. (They range from $26-$32)

(Another great Blush Recommendation: Using the Benefit Cheek Color Powders are also a great way to add "that color" - two Cheek blushes I use (from Benefit): Georgia & Sugarbomb)

Going on to the Next one, NARS Cosmetics - Lip Gloss, & the NYX Cosmetics Black Label Lipstick. What I love about the NARS Cosmetics Lip Gloss (I use the Frisky Summer & Chihuahua) is that it's great for applying when you leave the beach and your going out with friends or going to dinner, you just apply this for a little "pop" gloss for the night out. The NYX Black Label Lipstick is great for applying (during the day or night) [I have/use the colors India and Heiress] basically for that "Nude lip look" that is perfect for during the day.

(Other Lip Product Recommendations: Any SPF Lip Balm is perfect for Summer, NARS has the Pure Sheer SPF Lip Treatment, or there is also mylipstuff.com which has lots of lip balms.)

Covergirl's LashBlast volume Waterproof Mascara is great for summer lashes! Remember any Waterproof Mascara you are comfortable with will work best! In this pick, I chose the Lashblast Waterproof mascara because I have tried it and it works great! (To remove: you ARE supposed to remove this with an eye makeup -waterproof- remover, it works best.) :)

TIP: Instead of using foundation - you can use Tinted Moisturizer, which is a replacement for the whole foundation process, and yes, it is also perfect for summer.)

MOST IMPORTANT!! :) You can't forget your protection! Recommended sunscreens- The Neutrogena UltaSheer Dry-Touch Facial Sunscreen SPF 55 is great and recommended! Easy to apply, no uncomfortable greasy feeling, great protection. And the Neutrogena Ultimate Sport Sunscreen SPF 55 for the body really good in protection, I use this sunblock every time I go to the beach and it's great! It is Oil-free and Waterproof. It has such a great price range ($10) and an important Summer Lovin' Pick! :)

And That is our post for today, make sure you check out tomorrow's "Summer Lovin'" post. I sense some Fashion?... who knows! But be sure to check it out! ;)

Staying Fit & Health Tips! (For Summer)

Hey everyone!

Today I'm going to cut the time of search for you, and share workouts and exercises that I have found to be effective and showed results easily. We've all been through that time period where we've searched for all sorts of workouts, tried out all sorts of new and hip exercises and fancy dance routines

 Well to start off. You need to be motivated, you can't start your workout when you're all "shlumpy" so the right time to kick-off your workout is when you are motivated.

Second, before exercising you SHOULD warm-up, it's easy, some recommended easy 5-minute warm-ups to get you in the "burning fat" zone are: 5min jogging in place, 5min jump rope, 5min treadmill, 5min jumping jacks, or even 5 minutes of just randomly dancing in place- anything to get the heart rate up.

By warming-up you are now getting in that burning fat zone, which is what you want, and what you need if you're moving on to the next part. Now what we all look for when we search for ways to get our figure back, is the ANSWER. I mean if we truthfully and honestly speak here, we probably all just read 5-6 introduction words then skip onto the exercises, to know WHICH ones will just burn that fat forever! Well one important thing is that it's not instant day and night, remember to keep weekly exercise, stay consistent, have a good accompanying healthy diet, and most importantly stay determined- do not forget the reason you started.


Now to kick-off the exercises, this a list of workouts that help a lot & you might want to consider:

• Dumbbell Side bends- I definitely recommend this one, works for waist, side fat, and love handles.
  
• Ab Crunch- Ball (A REALLY GOOD EXERCISE! Burns that tummy fat and helps tone. But be sure to keep doing this exercise! no cheating! And do not rush through it. You have to feel the pulse and burn.)
• Side Planks
• Leg Raise
• Side Leg Raises
• Wall Sit - This works the Thighs really fast, but keep holding on! Don't let go to easily!
• Step Ups
• Walking Lunges - this really tones and firms the thighs
• Calf Raise- (REALLY great workout, try doing 50, then advance to 75 the next day and so on.- you will feel the burn, and the pain the next day, but it feels great knowing that your working your calf!)

After Workout: Be sure to stretch your body, and stretch those muscles. Trust me, you wouldn't want to feel like fried bacon the next day.

NOTE: The trick is NOT to go quick and fast through these exercises, but to go slow and FEEL the burn.

Favorite Recommended Itouch/phone app: SixPackAPP

Also accompanied by the fitness: to help the fitness and support, here are some nutrition tips, and some tricks you can choose to follow

• Drinking Water & Apple Cider Vinegar (mixed) before Lunch or Dinner. (recommended serving: 1 cup of water, and mix in 1-2 tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar)
• Drinking lots of Lemon with water. (NOT Lemonade! Nice try! But real Lemon with water) You can also drink the Lemon with water before Lunch and Dinner. (Squeeze about two lemons in one cup of water for better results.)
• OR you can try drinking warm or hot water every meal, it aids quick digestion and cleanses the body- you can choose to add some lemon, or honey (believe it or not honey helps a bunch, check out the health and beauty benefits of honey)
• Switch your juices, sodas, and other drinks to Pure water. And be sure to drink lots of water each day! It helps clean out your Digestive system and keeps you slim, also proves to keep your skin clean and hydrated!
• Stretching or Yoga REALLY helps out after a good tough workout. So you can stretch your body & muscles. Stretching after a workout is effective since it molds your form into a much slimmer result, rather than keeping your bones and body tensed like fried curled bacon.
• Cardio Exercises before working out, really gets you in the fat burning zone (5 minutes of jogging, or running, or jump-roping, or even dancing are really great Cardio Warm-ups!)
• Make sure to avoid foods like: Pasta, Soups, artificial pop tarts, candy, chips & soda, foods that would contain high amount of Sodium, Carbs, Sugar, Total Fat, or Calories. [NOTE: 3,500 Calories is equivalent to 1 pound of Fat.] Consuming too much of these can cause some serious fat to appear in your tummy(metabolism) , arms, and legs.
