5 beauty tips from victoria secret model marisa miller

Posted on the January 31st, 2011 under beautiful by Kristen 2,000 views

You might assume Victoria’s Secret model Marisa Miller was born beautiful. And yes, she’s the first to admit her DNA is one explanation for her fresh-faced, glowing beauty. “But a lot of people believe that because I’m “curvy” and “blonde” I’ve had a boob job or some other kind of plastic surgery, which isn’t true,” says the 30-year-old California native. “I’m 100 percent natural, but I have to work hard to stay in shape. There’s no magic pill. Believe me, if there was, I’d know about it.”


Beauty secret # 1: Get active, and the sooner the better. “You could say I’ve been going to the gym since before I was born,” says Marisa with a laugh. “I have a photo of my mom the day before she went into labor with me wearing her unitard and leg warmers “very eighties.” Her mother’s dedication to physical fitness, as well as both parents’ passion for surfing, have contributed to Marisa’s health mantra: “Working out is not a luxury, it’s a necessity.”

Beauty secret # 2: Never run on empty; eat a healthy breakfast. “I usually have steel-cut oatmeal with sliced bananas in the morning, but if I want something fast, I whip up a protein shake,” says Marisa about her healthy breakfast. “I mix soy or almond milk, yogurt, a banana, and a scoop of protein powder with frozen organic fruit, like mangoes or blueberries. I don’t measure anything; I just throw it all in the blender. I also carry Gnu Flavor & Fiber bars with me in case I need to eat on the run.”

Beauty secret # 3: Give in to temptation. “I prefer healthy food and try not to bring too many treats into my house. But I don’t believe in depriving myself either,” says Marisa Miller. “When I go to the movies, I have a sugary soda, not a diet one. And if I want a burger, I’ll have a burger. I just make it a point not to eat one five days in a row.”

Beauty secret # 4: Be flexible with your workout routines. “It’s not easy for me to stick to a set routine, but if I can do something almost every day, I don’t have to play catch-up before a big photo shoot,” says Marisa. “I have a home gym and I take Spinning classes at my local health club. When I can, I box with a trainer, which helps me blast calories. If I’m going on the road, I bring resistance bands with me so I can strength-train anywhere. Every bit helps.”


Beauty secret # 5: Don’t eat like your guy. “My husband, Griffin, is tall and lean, so he can eat anything he wants,” says Marisa. “Some nights he’ll bring home french fries, and I have to resist them! I decide to say no and then make something else, like a veggie burger. It’s not always an easy choice, but it’s a healthier one.”

Ideas to make your nails stronger

Posted on the January 28th, 2011 under Nail Design by Kristen 877 views


Strong nails are important not just for the look of them but as a part of the human body, they need to be healthy. There are a number of tips that a person can use to make the nails strong like they need to be. To be strong, the nails also need to be hydrated. A person can do this by rubbing petroleum jelly into the cuticle of the nail before going to bed or when the nails look or feel dry. For an individual who doesn’t like this substance, castor oil can do the same job because it is thick and it contains vitamin E. Olive oil can also work. Chemicals can very easily damage the nails and the areas around the nails so wearing gloves when doing the house cleaning helps the protect the nails. In the case that a person cannot use gloves, either avoiding the harsh chemicals and using natural ingredients, or applying hand cream after cleaning can keep the nails healthier thus making them stronger. A person is recommended to cut the nails straight across, or at least the toe nails to prevent ingrown nails. Also, cuticle don’t have to be cut but they can be pushed back and when doing so, they should be at a 45 degree angle. Because minerals are needed for nail growth, in the case that a person isn’t getting enough minerals, especially calcium, they can take supplements or drink extra milk and eat boiled eggs. While sometimes just taking care of the nails will help, there are occasions when a different kind of boost is needed. It may take some time to notice the difference while taking supplements or eating these foods, but it will be noticeable after some time and even the bones will benefit too.

Spring 2011 color trends: pink color trend

Posted on the January 26th, 2011 under Fashion Trends, fashion trend by Kristen 974 views

With a new year comes all new everything to become obsessed with—that is, from a fashion perspective. And that always begins with rich, vibrant, turn-up-the-volume color. Along with silhouettes (long and lean ’70s!) and pattern du jour (Ikat!), spring 2011 color trends offer a perfect barometer for outfit planning in the coming months. What to pack up and what to move front-and-center in your bursting-at-the-seams closet.   And with the spring season already peeking its rose-tinted shades out from beneath the 3-foot drifts of snow, we’ve got the six hottest hues of the moment right here. Not just any orange, yellow, or blue…this season, classic brights are a whole lot more interesting. And if you’re wondering if white is really a color…well, this spring, it certainly is!


Pink: But not just any pink! Honeysuckle pink (a bright, almost reddish hue) was voted the color of the year by Pantone, and, as far as fashion goes, it showed up on miles of spring 2011 runways, from Jil Sander to Valentino to DKNY. This signature pink also loved to pair up with other brights like aqua and orange or offering some bold contrast to more neutral tones like khaki and sand.  I can hear a lot of happy squeals over this ^^ This kind of bright pink reminds me of nothing but Pepto Bismol, but that may just be me.
