2. Skip Shimmer – There’s a reason why most older women shy away from shimmery eye shadows, and it doesn’t have anything to do with it being “too young” for them. On the contrary, sparkles can actually accentuate any wrinkles you might have, and make you look even older! Opt for wearing a nice liner on your top lid and a bit of mascara. Give the shimmer to your daughters or granddaughters.

3. Papaya Power – The natural fruit acid and enzymes remove dead skin cells and your skin will look and feel both younger and smoother.

Papaya
Anti-Wrinkle Facial

The natural fruit acid and enzymes remove dead skin cells and your skin will look and
feel both younger and smoother.

2 Tbs. mashed ripe papaya
1 tsp. aloe vera gel

Directions:
Mix together the papaya and aloe vera gel to make a smooth paste. Apply to your
clean face and neck. Let sit for 5 minutes. Rinse with cool water. This formula
can be drying if it is left on for longer than 5 minutes.

! All you need is papaya and aloe vera gel! So simple!

4. Lighten the Foundation – Not many women know that heavy foundation can actually highlight facial wrinkles! How horrible is that? Say bye-bye to the extreme makeup, and start using a tinted moisturizer instead. Not everyone can separate from their foundation, so we have a better strategy. Mix equal parts foundation and moisturizer to get the best of both worlds.

5. Wipe Yourself – After a long night, the last thing you want to worry about is washing your face. You just want to drop right onto your bed, and catch some beauty sleep. But if you leave makeup on your face, the sleep will be anything but beautiful! If you’re one of those people who constantly leaves makeup on her face before she snoozes, keep some baby wipes near your bed and use them before you hit the hay. They make such a difference.

6. Anti-Aging Skin Fighter – Yogurt, lemon juice, vitamin E and honey make this recipe an easy way to fight wrinkles.

Yogurt, lemon juice, vitamin E
and honey make this recipe an easy way to fight wrinkles.

Ingredients

2 tsp. plain yogurt

1/2 tsp. honey

1/2 tsp. lemon juice

3 capsules vitamin E (equivalent of 300 units)

Directions

Combine yogurt, honey and lemon juice. Prick open the vitamin E capsules then
fold contents into the mix. Leave on skin for 15 minutes. Rinse with warm
water, and pat dry.

7. Vitamin E – This is the one vitamin that can really help your skin win the aging battle. It can be found in many skin products and body lotions, and makes your skin silky smooth. Many women use vitamin E under their eyes to make any wrinkles they might have less noticeable. What’s even better is that it may actually prevent new wrinkles form forming.

This delicious and heart-healthy dish is ready in only 20 minutes. A great recipe to cook for a special someone!

Ingredients

* 2 Tbs. sour cream
* 1 green onion, chopped
* 1 Tbs. minced fresh cilantro
* 1 garlic clove, mined
* 1/4 tsp. minced fresh gingerroot
* 1/4 tsp. grated lime peel
* 1/8 tsp. salt
* dash ground cumin
* dash pepper
* dash crushed red pepper flakes
* 2 6-oz. salmon fillets
* lime wedges

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the first 10 ingredients. Place fillets skinside down in a greased 1 1/2-qt. microwave-safe dish; top with sour cream mixture. Cover and microwave on high for 4-6 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve with lime wedges.

1. Small Goals – Don’t focus on how you want things to be 6 months from now. Short-term goals will give you more immediate gratification once you reach them, and will allow you to develop more advanced goals as the weeks pass on. If you drink 6-7 cans of soda per week, vow to only have 4-5 during your first week of saying no to junk food. The next week, try for 3, and then before you know it, you won’t be drinking any. Remember to keep your resolve, and keep your eye on prize.

2. Clear The Cupboards – It’s easier to say no to those double chocolate chip cookies when you don’t have to think about them sitting in your cabinet. That’s why getting rid of all the junk food in your house is the first step to giving up the calorie-ridden stuff for good. But don’t throw it away. Instead, donate it to a food bank or shelter. You may not want to chow down on it, but someone else might.

3. Supermarket Sweep – On your next trip to the grocery store, come prepared with a list of all the ingredients you plan on buying. Do not buy any junk food. If you want something sweet, stick to healthy snacks, like fruits, nuts and yogurt. It may be tough to say no to your favorite bag of chips, but this is one of the most crucial steps to transforming your lifestyle.

4. Plan Ahead – Let’s say you’ve had a long day at the office, and the first thing you want to do when you get home is to sit down on the couch with a bowl of ice cream and a good book. What’s wrong with that right? For one, the ice cream totally goes against your no junk food rule. When we’re faced with stress, we tend to crave sweets. Instead of letting the craving take over, plan ahead and pack healthy snacks like a bag of nuts or a granola bar. Snack on these while reading, and you won’t feel any guilt later on.

5. Mind Your Meals – Setting aside 30 minutes to eat your meals can actually help you avoid junk food. When you’re full from healthy foods, like lots of greens and lean proteins, you’ll be less tempted to add in that extra bag of chips. Don’t let yourself get to the point where you feel like you could eat an entire 1-lb. bag of M&Ms. Keep your self satiated by eating every 3-4 hours. This includes snacks (make them healthy!) and larger meals.

6. Consistency – If you allow yourself to eat junk food when you’re out with friends or at a family party, it’ll be more difficult to return to your healthy eating ways. That’s why your junk food ban needs adhered to at all times. Telling friends and family about your new lifestyle might give you an extra motivator, and will give them the heads up that you’re trying to change your ways. Plus, a few cheerleaders on the sideline never hurt anyone.

7. Moving On – Mistakes and slip-ups happen to everyone, but don’t let them define you. Just because you had a candy bar doesn’t mean that you’ve completely fallen off the wagon. Rather, let that be an additional motivator. Tell yourself that you’ll do better next time, and if you’re extremely discouraged, make sure that your next four snacks or meals have to be healthy ones. That way, you’ll be making up for one your one minor blunder.

No matter how healthy your diet is, it’s nearly impossible to avoid eating out at restaurants. And who’d want to? Going out to eat is one of the best times to get together with friends and family and enjoy delicious food. But how often have you eaten out only to leave the restaurant feeling like you needed to let the belt out a few notches? No one likes that overly-stuffed feeling in their bellies! With just a few simple tips, you can enjoy the occasional meal out without a damaging blow to your waistline.

1. Don’t Leave Hungry - One of the most important things to do, before you even leave for the restaurant, is to make sure you’re not starving. If you head out hungry, you’ll be much more likely to do serious damage at the restaurant. Chances are you’ll order more food to compensate. Before you leave, drink a full glass of water. You might also want to munch on some raw veggies like carrots, celery or broccoli, depending on how hungry you are. Instead of spoiling your appetite, it will actually ensure that you get a serving or two of vegetables!

2. Drink Up – Once you arrive at the restaurant you’ll save a few hundred calories or more, by ordering water instead of soda, juice or alcohol. Water will help fill you up without all the calories. Not only is water healthier, it’s also free. So if you’re on a budget, it’s the way to go. If you’re not a fan of plain water, try squeezing lemon or lime into the water. The extra bit of flavor will go a long way.

3. Half It – It’s no secret that restaurant portions are way too big. A typical meal out is usually at least two servings. This means that if you eat the whole dish, you’re probably consuming far too many calories for one meal. When you order your food, ask the waiter to place half the dish in a to-go box. This way you can make two tasty meals from one dish.

4. Don’t Get Distracted – Going out to eat usually means chatting away with friends or family. Sometimes the distraction of eating in good company means that we reach for food without knowing how much we’re really putting into our bodies. Appetizers and shared desserts are often the culprit here. Make an effort to look at the food on the table and decide how much you will eat before you dig in. Don’t be afraid to portion appetizers or group desserts on your plate so that you know exactly how much you’ve eaten.

5. Know Your Food - If you’re trying to avoid a total calorie bomb when you eat out, then there are some foods on the menu that you know you should not order – no matter how tasty they may be. For example, anything fried or made with a cream-based sauce would probably top your do-not-order list. Or if you do feel like ordering a splurge item, you may want to divide it into thirds and fill up on healthier foods like fruits and veggies.

Don’t be shy – ask the server about methods of food preparation. A side order of veggies may seem like a good idea, but if they’ve been cooked in butter, you might want to reconsider or ask about healthier cooking alternatives.

6. On The Side - Always ask for sauces, dips and dressings on the side. Often these toppings are laden with extra fat and calories. And to make matters worse, restaurants use lots of it! Having them off to the side allows you to still enjoy them, but in moderation.

Visual images can be powerful tools in helping you reach your goals. There are lots of creative ways to
use this motivation technique, such as posting an image of your goal where you’ll see it most….in your
car, on a bathroom mirror, or on the refrigerator. Visual images can also help you reach your weight
loss goals. Create a chart to measure your progress, display before and after pictures, or get a brochure
of the vacation destination you’ll visit after you reach your goal. These are all good ways to constantly
remind yourself of the commitment you’ve made.
