It's summer and that means BBQ season, late night walks on the beach and summer parties. The maxi dress is great for this.  It works with flip flops and fun accessories.    There are a few designers that make a really cute version.    These dresses are by Splendid, Diane V.Furstenberg, and Tbags.  

We have all heard of the saying "you are what you eat". The fact is TRUE.

Recently, I have been vigilant about taking vitamins for my skin. The effects are proof that my new regime is working.

Omega 3-help maintain cell membranes so that they are effective barriers--allowing water and nutrients in, and keeping toxins out. Omega-3s also seem to be able to protect skin against sun damage. In a study of skin cancer, people who ate diets rich in fish oils and other omega 3 fats had a 29% lower risk of squamous cell cancer than those who got very little omega 3 fats from food.

Ester C- is involved in collagen production and protects cells from free radical damage. Scientific studies found that when lab animals ate vitamin C-fortified food, their skin was better able to fight off oxidative damage. That said, replenish your skin's vitamin C stores by eating plenty of vitamin C-rich fruits and vegetables on a daily basis.

Alpha-Lipoic Acid- it has been demonstrated that free radical damage is one of the leading causes of the symptoms we know as aging. As we get older, the levels of free radicals in our bodies increase, causing a decrease in the efficiency of our cells. This leads to a lack of energy, lower immune system function among other issues. Coincidentally, the levels of ALA in our bodies decrease with age as the free radical activity increases. Supplementation with ALA can help reverse this process.

So start popping those pills!
 

I just discovered Agave syrup.   It's a great alternative to sugar or honey.    Use it in coffee, tea or drinks and you can cook with it too.    Low glycemic index is great for cutting carbs and keeping you healthy.    

 Organic Agave is the perfect sweetening option for those concerned with sugar in their diet or with cutting empty carbohydrates. Agave, sourced from the cactus-like agave plant in Mexico, is an organic, plant-derived sweetener with a glycemic index of only 11. (The glycemic index assigns normal carbohydrate glucose the number 100. Generally, the lower the glycemic index, the less impact a particular food will have on blood sugar levels.)

 Formerly a favorite food of the Aztecs, agave is high in fructose rather than glucose, which allows it to be absorbed slowly into the blood stream, avoiding the "rush" often associated with refined sugar.

If asked to describe catty, I would say that it is an act often expressed by insulting words or a look of disdain directed to the sister sex.

This act, is usually exercised because of jealousy. The reasons are to each to it's own.

Often it only personifies, our own insecurities. It is an age-old behavior between girls, which starts before puberty.

Are we not all original?

So come on Sophia give Jane a break.
