Top 5 -Fat Burning Fruits.....!!!

Are you trying to lose weight? Now you can have your fruit and your weight loss too. Most fruit contains excessive amount of natural sugars that quickly converts into fat when eaten in excess. There are some fruits that actually work to help burn fat. Adding more of these fruits to your diet can help with fat loss. While fruit has many natural healing compounds, sometimes its sugar content can be a problem for people interested in losing weight. However, some fruits actually help you to burn fat. Here are my picks for the Top 5 Fat-Burning Fruits:

Avocado: Loaded with healthy Omega 9 fatty acids (the same fats found in olive oil, olives, and macadamia nuts), avocados speed the conversion of fat into energy and boost the rate of metabolism.
Coconut: Coconut is rich with medium chain triglycerides (MCFAs) which increase the liver’s rate of metabolism by up to 30 percent, according to some experts. They also help keep you full so you’re less likely to snack on junk food. Coconut oil frequently aids the functioning of the thyroid gland. Coconut oil, coconut milk (not the low fat variety), coconut flour, and shredded (unsweetened) coconut all contain MCFAs.
Lemons: Excellent liver detoxifiers, lemons also alkalize our body. They may seem acidic based on taste but in the process of being metabolized by the body, they actually alkalize our bodily fluids and tissues. Maintaining the health of the liver is also imperative to the body’s ability to digest and burn fat, since the liver is one of the organs responsible for these functions.
Grapefruit: Many studies confirm that grapefruit is an excellent weight loss food. In one study at Johns Hopkins University, women who eat grapefruit daily shed almost 20 pounds on average in only 13 weeks, without changing anything else in their diet or lifestyle.
Tomatoes: Packed with vitamin C and the phytochemical lycopene, tomatoes stimulate the production of the amino acid known as carnitine. Research has shown carnitine helps speed the body’s fat-burning capacity by one third.
How to Benefit:
It’s easy to reap the weight loss rewards of these fruits. Use full-fat coconut milk and oil in curries, smoothies, or baking. . Enjoy a grapefruit for breakfast or as a snack instead of something sweet. Make your own fresh salsa or add tomatoes to soups, stews, salads, or curries. Make fresh guacamole with minced onion, garlic, lemon juice, and chopped tomato and cilantro.
Super Health Bonus:
Not only will these fruits help with weight loss, they have plenty of other health benefits too. Avocado helps prevent heart disease. Coconuts help prevent cancer. Grapefruit gives the liver a boost. Lycopene is a powerful antioxidant that studies show cuts the risk of heart disease by 29 percent

Smile Some Useful Skin Care Tips

  1. If your product causes your skin to shine even though it has no oil in it you can use a Kleenex to absorb the shine. Place the tissue lightly over the shiny area and smooth over with your hand. This can be done over make-up as well.
  2. Remove make-up with cleansing creams, they are designed to gently remove make-up without damaging skin. Follow up with your appropriate facial cleanser.
  3. When removing anything from underneath your eye always wipe from the outside inward toward nose. Your eye muscle is around your eye (like a donut )in the same direction as your eyebrows. Rubbing against the direction of your eye muscle can later on loosen delicate skin from muscle.
  4. When adding skin treatments do so after using your toner. Wait 40 seconds for proper absorption before adding moisturizer or sunscreen after treatment application.

natural pink lips

*Tips For Natural Pink Lips**
For those who have dark lips and want to make them pinker, apply a
paste of cold milk and turmeric on them. Keep this mixture on for five
minutes, and do it for a week or more and see the difference.
Most people moisturise their face and body but pay little attention to their
lips. During winters, lips lose their moisture and get chapped and flaky.
So apply a generous dose of
petroleum jelly or lip balm as these will also help keep your lips soft.
Apply some beetroot juice on your lips before you go to bed. Since beetroot acts as a natural stain, by the
time you wake up in the morning, you'll have natural looking pink lips.
Grind red rose petals finely and use them on your lips. Not only will they
give a rosy colour to your lips, but will also keep them healthy.
Use a sugar and lemon scrub to exfoliate the skin of your lips. This will
remove all the dead skin, will get ridof dark tea/coffee stains and leave your lips soft and pink!

Beauty Importance of Deep Cleaning Your Beauty Tools

When was the last time you washed your makeup brushes? Or even looked closely at your makeup products? Have you noticed your powder makeup developing a hard thick layer? Chances are you haven’t been washing your powder puffs and makeup brushes. The hard layer developed on top of powder is bacteria and oil from your skin which has caused your makeup to harden. A powder puff absorbs any oil on your skin which will transmit the same oils on your face to the compact. So every time you go for a touch up with your pressed powder- you are applying the same oil and bacteria back onto your skin.Washing your makeup tools such as powder puffs, sponges and brushes requiresdeep cleaning once a week or more depending on how often you wear makeup. We tend to never think about ‘cleaning’ our makeup tools, quite often I’ve seen my friends and cousins use the same makeup product for months at a time without considering washing their makeup sponge or power puff. I can’t stress enough how important it is to wash your tools, its just as important as throwing away your toothbrush every month.
Benefits of Cleaning Your Beauty Tools:



  • Powder Makeup Items Will Last Longer
  • Smoother Makeup Application
  • No Bacteria Buildup Causing Skin Irritation and Acne
  • Makeup Will Not Look Muddy on Your Skin
