Coffee , Not Just for Drinking

A recent study said that the scent of coffee changes protein levels in the brain that can ward off the stress caused by sleep deprivation. So not only does the caffeine in coffee wake us up, but just the scent can help. And I have read that scrubbing your legs and butt with fresh coffee grounds can make them look firm, even if only temporary.

Broccoli, Alpha Lipoic Acid and Cellulite

Like I said before, I love reading magazines like Woman's World. Recently I read that broccoli helps to diminish cellulite because it contains Alpha Lipoic Acid. I never knew that. Of all that I have read about ALA, the fact that it helps with cellulite was never mentioned before. So I looked up cellulite and found that many topical creams contain DMAE.
I have been selling a face firming serum with DMAE and Alpha Lipoic Acid for a few years now. I have many repeat customers because of that serum. I never thought to put it on my butt! I am now.

Out of Makeup Remover?

Last time I ran out of makeup remover was the last time I used makeup remover.Before I wash my face, I take a cotton square, wet it and add a few drops of hemp oil. The oil will remove the makeup and nourish the eye area at the same time. You can experiment with different oils. Some will leave more of an oily residue than others. A nice grapeseed oil or sweet almond oil are light. Different oils also have different skin benefits. Remember not to use a nut oil like sweet almond or tamanu if you have a nut allergy. Nut oils are made from nuts.

Changing directions to hints and tips

Everyone has a blog. Right? Even if you can't seem to keep up with it? I can easily throw out little blurbs and worthwhile links on twitter but I keep neglecting this blog. Why? Because I have to research and write these long posts right? Wrong! I love reading those magazines you get at checkout at the grocery store and I have to read trade magazines just keep up with what's new. I get lots of daily newsletters in my inbox, I am always passing on little tips to my friends and family. Why not do that here? So that is where I am taking this blog. I hope you will come along and maybe you will read a tip that you can use. Please let me know. Thanks.
