HEALTH AND BEAUTY TIPS

~FACE:
     >Do a back bend, head stand, or just bend over forward to get the blood flowing and give your tired face a boost!
     >Fill an ice cube tray and add shots of lemon juice and olive oil to each cube. Rub the frozen cubes on your face to liven up your complexion.

~EYES:
     >Dip cotton balls in coffee and rub under your eyes to get rid of puffiness and/or dark circles.
     >Place a chilled spoon under each eye to relieve puffiness and/or dark circles.
     >Use white eye liner on the inner membrane (bottom of your eye above lashes). This will open up your eyes and make you appear more awake.

+TEETH:
     >Always brush your teeth 2-3 time per day. (Morning, Mid-Day, Before Bed)

+TEETH WHITENING:
     >Mix a combination of hydrogen peroxide and baking soda until it forms a pasty substance. Use once every other day after brushing before bed.
     >Use a pre-brush whitening rinse rather than other store bought whitening products. It's less work and less harmful to your teeth.

+BODY:
     >Green tea is especially good for you. It's loaded with antioxidants. [After you've had a cup of green tea you can feel free to break open the bag and rub the leaves on your face. It's quite refreshing!]
     >During your hot shower, give yourself a few blasts of cold water here and there. This will help to improve circulation.
     >For excessive underarm perspiration, hold a slice of lemon under each arm for 15-30 minutes.
     > Go to bed no less than 7.5 hours before you have to be awake the next morning. Not only will you be well rested, this tip may also cause you to lose a couple pounds.
     >Try to limit your caffeine consumption. This will help you sleep easier and more soundly at night.
     >Find a bedtime routine. If you find something calm and relaxing to do every night before bed, your mind will begin to associate this routine with sleep.

+DIET:
     >Lay off the junk food! Need I say more?
     >Make sure at least two of your daily meals include the following: 60% Carbs, 25% Protein, and 15% Fat.

+ 3 STEPS FOR AN EFFECTIVE WORKOUT:
     >Cycle at 13MPH and burn 600 calories per hour.
     >Power walk at 4MPH and burn 250 calories per hour.
