Juicy And Smooth

Outward beauty is nothing without inner beauty, and when both blend we could consider ourselves healthy. A balanced diet is a must for a gratifying life and fruits and vegetables should be an important element in it. When juice and smoothie bars begin to spread all around the world, it's time for learning their tastiest recipes for preparing at home. Five pieces of fruit and vegetables should be eaten a day, as experts recommend. With the stress of our ordinary lifes and frequently eating outside it's not that easy to keep a healthy way of living. Juices and smoothies (juice with the flesh of the fruit) helps us in this because they turn vegetables in fruits into an easy carrying package, ready to be consumed everywhere. On the other hand, they can be an alternative for the weekend, when we tend to exercise more and eat better. Here are three suggestions you might enjoy: 1) Apple and kiwi: Mix one Golden Apple and 2 kiwis, best quite mature. For the best result, the flavour of kiwi must prevail over apple's. 2) Melon,lime, and menthe: Mix two big slices of melon with the juice of one lime and blend. Then add some menthe leaves and let it soak for half a day. 3) Peach and mango: Mix half mango and one peach and squeeze.

Don't Burn, Baby: Top 3 Sun Protectors

In Disco Inferno, Edwin Collins proposed to burn dancing in the disco. Even though burning dancing in the disco can be a good idea, burning sunbathing it is not that cool, as can have tragic consequences, with sun burnt as the slighest damage. Acting with responsability and the appropiate sun protector will keep you safe. Frequently told and once again: so that the sun is benefitial, don't take baths of more than 15 minutes a day and in the hours that the sun heats up less. The eagerness of looking good in a short time can lead to do non sense and risk health; it takes an afternoon for noticing sunburnt and it takes 20 years for serious damages. Unfortunately in most of the supermarkets you won't find a protection factor over 15 when it's the minimum recommended, unless you skin is black. And even worse, people use to think the lower, the faster they will be tanned. On the contrary, a safe tan takes place in weeks, with a little bath every day, and with the correct protection, that includes face and lips, adapted to the phototype.The phototype indicates the sun protector factor you need according your features. There's a selection of the best sun protectors we've tried: 1) Firming Lotion Nivea Sun: Recommended by all fashion magazines, joins effectiveness and nice price. Our mums use the classic version of body cream when the protection factors weren't invented yet. Non greasy formula, that combines a 15 SPF with a firming effect noticeable since the first application. 2) Sun Advantage Anti-Cellulite and Depilation Retardand by Sensilis (200 ml=26 euros): Recently renewed with a retardand of depilation, this bronzer fights cellulite too, all with a 15 SPF.

Surviving Cold

When metereology is unsteady, you'd better watch out, flu is always around the corner. Grown up with parents coming from small towns of cold Spain, remedies against cold are the key for survival.

My grandfather used to say the best remedy for catarrh was to put a chili in the soup. Without being that radical, surely you've heard more than one remedy for improving it without going to the pharmacy. The combination of Vitamin C (as an orange juice)and hot milk with honey is one of the most famous formulas. For sure, you are in the way, but it's better if you replace hot milk, which boost mucus, with hot water.

Another remedy, this one for sore throat, is to gargle with bicarbonate and lemon. First, get warm water and mix with lemon juice and bicarbonate. Then, drink a gulp and gargle as long as you stand. Repeat this two-three times a day until recover.

Move That Body! Top 5 Work Out Videos

Pilates and yoga are winning the battle for the new working out technniques, as the frenzy of 80's and 90's, impersonated in aerobics, doesn't seem to fit in the new era, more concentrated in inner balance and meditation.

Easy even for beginners, first time in full can be quite hard, but this ends with practice, and can be really fun when you learn the coreography. This program has been revised and aproved by a team of doctors, like cardiologists, sports fisiologists and orthopedic surgeons.

3) Your Personal Best Workout by Elle MacPherson (Filmayer Video, 1995): Karen Voight, international fitness specialist has designed this program, that covers all parts of body, and that has been tested in her own gym. Easy even for beginners, it borrows exercises inspired in other sports, like basketball and becomes working out in a total experience. Exercises with weights can become the hardest part in the first rounds, but just for a moment. The music and the location are very encouraging.

It is divided in three programs, two of 45 to alternate, and one of 10 minutes when there is no time. Although all body is trained, you'll notice the best results in legs and bottom. For the sessions, you won't need more than a chair, a mattress, and some weights.

5) Power&Strengh by Donna D'errico (Manga Films, 1998): Even though its terrible ambientation, with a punishable illumanitation of low budget film, this video really works. D'Errico and trainer Bret Johnson, with exercises designed by Linda Shelton, fulfill their promise of burning calories and winning resistance and flexibility.

Fight The Fury Day!

Infusions for slimming can turn an unexpected allied when you have liquid retention and not the hardest drug can take away the pain. They can be found in supermarkets, in dietetics, or in pharmacies and you shouldn't try them before taking advice from your doctor, as they can be sometimes dangerous if you are suffering from any disease.

Feed Brains, Set Soul Free

Weekend it's time for relaxing, for working out, for going on a trip, and for reading. Shallow beauty is just about looks, but the healthy and constructive beauty is about feeding body as well as intelligence and what better than choosing an amusing and challenging book? Here's a selection of eight books that will help you to improve as well as to unmask some myths that damage our self-steem. 1) Glamourama by Brett Easton Ellis*: This writter belonged to the class of the successful people, in the 80's, and as a consecuence, he payed the consecuences. In his books he reflects about the shallowness of his world, the solitude, and the drugs. A classic said that some are so poor that just have money. Glamourama was one of his attempts of the 90's, with fashion businness in the target: a group of disatisfied models want to shock to the system and that's literally, with a bomb. No one mentioned so many brands as to make them disgusting. Perfect for a reflection as well as for bursting into laughter. 2) Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger (2003): That's the story of a day in the life of the co-assistant of the editor of the most important fashion magazine. Apparently, a dream job for a just graduated journalist, but, in fact, a nightmare when your boss is unberable perfectionist and requires even your spare time. Released as film in 2006, starring Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway, it scored good critics and the Golden Globe for Best Actress for Meryl Streep. Rumor has it Anna Wintour, the editor of Vogue USA, was the inspiration for the role of the ruthless editor. An opportunity to see fashion world with different eyes and to have some good laughs. 3) Simplify Your Life by Elain St. James:This book it's introduced as "the best guide to reduce speed and enjoying important life". The author tells the story of her life and her transformation process from the unhappy 80's workholic executive with high expectations to the happy person with a staisfying job and handable demands. "The wise men of all cultures have told time after time that the secret for happiness it's not about getting more but about wanting less", concludes in the introduction. 4) La curación emocional by David Servan-Schreiber (Kairós, Colección Ensayo 2005):This edition it's a translation into Spanish from the original in French (Guérir, Editions Rober Laffont, 2003). From the cover the writer promises to finish with stress, anxiety and deppression without medicines and psychoanalisis, based in the advance of neurosciences and psychology. He based his theories in that our passions are the center of our lives and if they are desajusted, our balance it's lost. So the solution, in his opinion, lays in following some easy rules as working out, acupuncture, and having strong relationships with other persons. 5) Nuestra incierta vida normal by Luis Rojas Marcos (2004): Published in Spanish, it's an essay of the prestigious doctor Luis Rojas Marcos about the possibilities of neutralizing insecurity and unquieteness in our life. He reflects about where do our fears come from in an apparently comfortable society, if suffering is unavoidable, and if it's not, how to fight it."For maximizing the possibilities of living illusioned, not only we have to consider in a wide and in a realistic perspective the circumstances that move us but also it's is as important to strenghten the defenses that protect our emotional balance form internal conflicts and from the agression of the enviroment, and to feed the roots of joy", he determines. 6) Los siete poderes by Álex Rovira Celma (Ediciones Urano, Colección Empresa Activa, 2006): Published in Spanish, this is a bestseller, the perfect gift for Christmas. It's written by a Bachelor in Managerial and consultor of some of the most important multination enterprises and non proft organizations of Europe, and author of La Buena Suerte, translated to 38 languages. Posed as a travel to the land of destiny, it's told as a night tale, with the hero facing dangers in his way to fulfulling his mission, addressed to those who want to progress in their careers but also to those to want to progress in their lifes.In his opinion, courage, responsability, proposal, humility, confidence, love, union and cooperation are the powers for succeding amd available for everyone. "It's not that we do not dare because things are difficult. Simply we make them difficult because we do not dare", Seneca said. In the web http://www.lossietepoderes.com/ you can try your own trip. 7) Nutrición y salud by Grande Covián: Published in Spanish, it's the masterpiece of one of the most important Spanish nutritionist. He wrote this book with the purpose to set the basic nutrition rules and of showing how diets turn effective and to end with some curious theories about food that only damage our health. Written with a plain language, it's easy to read, and gives the necessary concepts in no more than in 200 pages. 8) No verbal communication by Flora Davies: We usually forget about the importance of our body language and concentrate in our words. The saying states that action speak louder than words but what's more, gestures speak louder than words. The appropiate communication comes from a perfect combination between gestures and words, when they do not contradict each other. This can be important in mahy situations, as in work interviews. This book shows the most common gestures and how to show the right image for every moment as well as to how to discover a cheater.

Obviously it was a success. In fact, La Bola de Cristal interviewed him as an example of the sucessful businessman.The best modelled for him, as Valeria Montenegro and Miriam Reyes. Soon there were launched perfumes and make up products. The arrival of the group Inditex and Mango changed the market and as a consequence Barroso was forced to let go his weekest divisions, his make up lines, and boosted his strong points, the perfumes. Models like Jaydy Michel and Carla Goyanes help him to reinvent the concept. The perfume Don Algodon was born in 1986 and since then became one of those that always returns to our lives in special moments because it's heavenlike and easy to match. For the 20 th Anniversary the singer Edurne was chosen as the new image, as she represents a fresh and naturally talented woman, the spirit of the brand.
