QuickTrim Diet

If any of you follow the Kardashians at all, the word QuickTrim shouldn't be new to you. Recently Khloe and Kim have signed on to endorse this new brand that has various products including a cleanse, an extreme burn, and a burn and cleanse. The extreme burn can make you lose up to 8000 more calories a month. These products are very new so I myself do not plan on trying them until they receive safe reviews.

What bothers me is that for a while Khloe and Kim kept talking about how hard they're hitting the gym and how much weight they lost by going to the gym almost everyday and eating properly. Then out of the blue they said they actually lost weight by adding the QuickTrim diet. I am not sure if this is just a product they signed on to endorse, or if they in fact were using this product the entire time. Regardless, they have both lost a lot of weight and look great!

However, many of their supporters are young women and when they were just working out they sent out a great message: if you want to be healthy keep active! Now they are encouraging everyone to take diet pills. They probably mention this product on their twitter pages at least once a day. Many girls have now turned to this product. In the long run many diet pills can have awful permanent effects such as the potential for dependence and metabolism disruption. If you can eat properly and work out about 5 times a week you will see a difference!! Try it the natural way without pills! BIf you do have a harder time losing weight and are interested in this product I suggest you see your physician before taking it. None of these products statements have been approved by the FDA so please make sure it's right for you if you are considering.

Just thought I'd share my insight on these products since there is so much buzz on them because Kim and Khloe are encouraging everyone to take it.

Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush back together?

Sources say that the two are giving it another try. Kim has recently been tweeting from Houston, where Reggie is at training camp, and New Orleans, where he lives. She was spotted at a charity event last week "Dress for Success" in New Orleans, and reportedly Reggie picked her up after. Whatever their situation is, we really love them together! 

Heidi Montag Hair

So I know that many people have mixed feelings about Heidi Montag/Pratt. However, I was just watching an episode of The Hills and realized that she can sometimes have very cute hairstyles. I love it when she puts her hair up in a messy bun, which is a very easy look to copy. If you have very straight hair curl sections in large pieces and then start pinning them back while leaving a few pieces hanging. It's obvious that she has extensions as seen below. Because she is very small I was not a fan of the big hair. But recently she uploaded a picture on twitter of herself having lunch with a friend. It looks like the extensions are out and she looks extremely cute! What do you guys think? xo

Supplements

It is very important that we all take our vitamins everyday. There are so many on the market as well as many supplements. I decided to share with you the ones I take. I try to keep everything natural and usually don't take much medicine. I love going to GNC and stocking up on various supplements. They recently came out with a line for women called GNC WELLbeING™. It's specifically targeted for women and is healthy and natural. 

1) The first thing I take with breakfast every morning is a vitamin. I love the GNC WELLbeING™ be-WHOLE™ Multivitamin & Mineral.  It provides vitamins and mineral essentials for our whole body. 

2) I then take GNC WELLbeING™ be-PROTECTED™ Triple Strength Fish Oil which contains Omega 3- Fatty Acids. Not only is this healthy for your heart, joint, brain, and skin health, but there have been studies that this can help improve your mood. It is also amazing for your weight and can keep you trim!

3) To keep my hair, skin, and nails healthy I take GNC WELLbeING™ be-BEAUTIFUL™ Hair, Skin & Nails Formula which contains the following ingredients:

Biotin: is an essential B-vitamin important for the growth of healthy cells.* Just one daily dose of be-BEAUTIFUL will provide a whopping 3000 mcg of biotin to nourish healthy and strong hair, skin and nails.*

Amino Acids: be-BEAUTIFUL features premium amino acids naturally present in healthy hair, skin and nails.* With 100 mg of gelatin plus L-Cysteine and L-methionine, your hair will be lustrous, your skin will be vibrant and you'll have strong, healthy nails.*

Antioxidants: lutein is an antioxidant known for supporting skin hydration.* Coupled with alpha-Lipoic acid and green tea, these antioxidants protect against damaging free radicals that can promote the cell-aging process.*

This entire line is amazing and there are so many products that it's hard to keep up with. They sell packs that contain a few of the different supplements, so not only do you get a bit of everything, but it is also a money saver! 

Beauty Blender

The trickiest part of doing my make up everyday is applying my foundation. I've tried them all and have tried various ways to apply it. Many of the compact foundations come with a sponge, however, you will soon find yourself wasting half of the foundation while it gets absorbed in the sponge. Same goes for face wedges, they soak up more of the foundation than what goes on your face. Many make up artists will suggest using a foundation brush, which is definitely better than the sponge, however, it does take some skill to apply. 

I recently came across the Beauty Blender. I bought it and tried it at home and it worked amazingly well!! You can buy them online at sephora.com You wet the beauty blender and then squeeze out the excess water. This makes the blender moist so that it won't absorb as much foundation and more of it will go on your skin. There are various techniques to then apply it on your face. Visit www.beautyblender.net to learn more about the product. I promise you its totally worth it! Also be sure to watch Kim Kardashian's make up artist, Mario, talk about this product and give other useful make up tips. 

Kourtney Kardashian Pregnant!

Kourtney Kardashian is pregnant!! I am such a huge fan of the Kardashians and am so excited for her! She is not revealing to much yet and is keeping the fathers identity private. Although, many are speculating that it is her on/off boyfriend Scott Disick. The two were recently seen dining out with her family for a friends birthday. Watch E! News tonight to hear her interview at 7 and 11:30. CONGRATS KOURTNEY!

Kim's Blonde!

So Kim actually dyed her hair blonde this time. What do you guys think? I want to see pics with better lighting, but so far it looks good. I wasn't loving the blonde wig look (which I attached at the bottom) but this is much better. 

Tori Spelling Jewelry

I am a huge fan of Tori Spelling's TV show, books, etc and now her jewelry! It's amazing! Very fun pieces especially for going out.

Giuliana and Bill

So this past week I watched the premier of Giuliana and Bill Rancic's new reality TV show. It was extremely enjoyable and I will definitely add this to my must see TV shows. They truly exemplify what a modern couple is and how to make long distance work. Not to mention they both seem extremely nice and down to earth. I have admired Giuliana Rancic for many years. She is an incredible news anchor, and also a style icon. I love following her beauty, diet, and style tips. Many people in Hollywood need a lot of work to make them look good, but Giuliana is naturally gorgeous! If you missed last weeks episode you can buy it on iTunes. Also be sure to check out some extra clips here: http://www.mystyle.com/mystyle/index.jsp?categoryName=giuliana_and_bill

Their show airs every Wednesday at 9/8c. Be sure to watch it!!

Self Tanner

With all the news going on now about the dangers of tanning I thought I would put up a post about my favorite self tanners. During summer its easy for us to stay tan, but I like to keep than tanned look all year round. My favorite products are by St. Tropez. They make your tan look so real! (Not orange at all). Their products range from lotions, to mousse, to gradual tanners. Since there is such a huge range, I suggest you visit: http://www.sttropeztan.com There you can even take an online consultation and find your best tan regime. Believe me, coming from someone who had tried just about every self tanner out there, this is by far the best!!!
