5 Ways to Help Curb Your Hunger2

Okay ladies, summer is seven months away and by making some changes now you can have an eye-popping body when things really heat up! One problem that many struggle with when it comes to weight loss is diet. Especially, here in the states where portions are enormous and are like eating 3 meals in one setting.

Nevertheless, beyond learning the correct portion size at mealtime just getting to the point of eating less can be challenging. On paper losing weight is quite simple, burn more calories than you take in or consume. With that being said, are there any tips that will make diet less stressful? Of course darlings, here are 5 ways to help curb your hunger!

5 Ways to Help Curb Your Hunger

  1. She Eats Carbs!– In The Devil Wears Prada carbs was a sin, but when it comes to feeling full longer you are going to want to partake in some fiber. Fiber found in whole grains, seeds,nuts, veggies and fruits like apples will help fill that bottomless pit of a belly quicker helping you consume less.
  2. Water Baby– Take a clue from an old toy and make sure that you are FULL of water. Dehydration is a major culprit for overeating because the body increases hunger pangs in order to try to tempt you to drink more and rehydrate.
  3. Cool Like a Cucumber– Tough exams, work projects and gaining a zit before picture day can make any gal throw her hands up in protest. However, remaining calm is the best answer to not overeating when stressful situations occur. Stress can cause a hormone known as Cortisol that will make you hungry. Go for a jog, dance, comment under Drake’s muscle pics or anything else that helps you feel at peace.
  4. Be a Regulator– This may sound like you are getting ready to drop the hardest LP of 2016, but nope its just suggesting you regulate your blood sugar. If you don’t then you will crave more food which could result in you guessed it, more weight gain. How can this regulation be achieved? Eat fiber/proteins and drink plenty of H2O.
  5. So Trashy– The best way to curb cravings is to get rid of the bad foods that you crave regularly. If that is too tough try buying snacks that come in small packages instead of the larger bags or boxes.

Save the Selfie! How You’re Causing Water Damage to Your Phone in Your Car

Save the Selfie! How You're Causing Water Damage to Your Phone in Your Car

In these modern times technology is all around us in order to make life easier and smoother. Often times, especially here in the states and our hometown Los Angeles we literally live in our cars. To get anywhere we need them and when weather is an issue we are glad to have wheels.

Nevertheless, as nice as zipping around town on fours is, having a phone seems to be the pinnacle of life. It’s the mode to have instant communication with friends or family, direction mapper, selfie taker, data analyst, document creator and list goes on and on. However, these two awesome inventions can prove to be deadly when combined.

Dun… Dun…. Dun! Well, it will only be a scary situation if you allow it to be. What some ladies and gentlemen are not aware of is that they are causing water damage to their phones while in their cars. How is this happening?

Have you ever gone through a drive thru and ordered a drink and put said drink in a cup holder? Most of us have its what the holder was designed to do. Moreover, once that drink has been finished you may toss it and place your phone in the very spot it the drink had been located. The leftover condensation from the drink can seep inside through the charger port and wreak havoc.

It is like taking your phone and dropping it in its own little pool. Keep your phone safe by waiting for your cup holder to be dry or use napkins to speed up the process. You may also consider finding a different spot in your ride for your phone to chill at while you man the controls. Therefore, be careful with how you treat your phone in your auto and live to take another selfie.

Give Your Feet Some Love and Honey

Summer is the time when the pedicure as well as sandal reigns supreme. However, nothing can kill a look faster than a pair of dry, callous and cracked feet. During the season dry feet may occur due to the area you live in, lots of walking or the heat of the day is literally sucking out any moisture. Nevertheless, showing your feet a little attention and love can get them looking fabulous!

Next time you notice a change in the condition of your feet for the worse try giving them a good soak or “bath.” Mix one cup of honey in a gallon of water and allow your feet to hang out there for fifteen minutes. Doing this treatment will help to bring back needed moisture into your skin. Honey is actually a natural antiseptic or purifying treatment that makes it one of the safest ingredients around to be used in beauty procedures.

Why Drink Filtered Water

Why Drink Filtered Water

We all need water to live and if we try to go without consuming it within days we would perish. Moreover, there are many beauty benefits that come from drinking the daily recommended amount of H2O.  Beauty experts agree that drinking 8 glasses of water will keep your body healthy and your skin glowing.

However, the scary part is the kind of water that most city dwellers have available to them. Most tap water is filled with various impurities and some can even cause cancer. Well, what’s a girl to do to be able to get her daily intake of water in without causing other health problems?

Some have turned to bottled water, but is that truly the answer? Unless, you have hundreds of extra dough available to spend on a yearly basis that may not be the best route. Instead buying a device to filter your water could be a more suitable choice.

Why Drink Filtered Water

For instance, Brita has designed a facet water filtration system that removes the following from your tap water:

  • Benzene
  • Lead
  • Asbestos
  • Toluene

The only thing Brita will leave behind and not filter out is fluoride. This is actually beneficial because fluoride helps to keep your teeth strong. Therefore, protect yourself from harmful chemicals in water and your body will reward you.
