Ladies: You Can Squeeze In A Workout Just About Anywhere
We hope you find time to squeeze this in:
We stumbled on to this website while sitting lazily on the couch-- http://www.squeezeitin.com/.
Let's be honest. It's easy to come up with a million excuses for not wanting to exercise, or even move off the couch. But according to Brigette Polmar and Jenny Hein, there is a way to make fitness a part of your life. Even if it involves fitting quick exercises in and around your daily chores.
Brigette and Jenny call themselves 'crazy moms from the 'burbs.' Actually, the duo has created their popular website for busy women and moms out there, who want to make every minute count. Brigette has a TV background and Jenny is a certified fitness instructor, so the lessons they give you are well-packaged and smart.
Squeezeitin.com is a free site that keeps you moving, in every room of the house, or at the office, in the grocery store, and even waiting with your child at the bus stop.
For instance, these two clever ladies have lots of exercises that you can do just about anywhere, because you are never too busy to squeeze in a workout. Have a minute to kill, while you're waiting for the microwave to buzz?
Jenny Hein suggests gripping the edge of the kitchen countertop and performing 2 sets of 12 elevated push-ups.
Or how about some dish-lifts for your calves, as you put dishes away in the cabinet?
"While putting dishes away rise up onto toes. Hold for a count of 3 while chanting SQUEEZE-IT-IN. Come down slowly onto heels. Repeat until all dishes are back in cupboards or for at least 2 sets of 12."
Squeezeitin.com has videos to show you these mini fitness routines, step-by-step.
Whether it's laundry legs or the park bench dips or hairstyling hot squats, there are excellent movements for women at all levels of fitness.
You should really check it out: http://www.squeezeitin.com/.

Solange Knowles' Best Beauty Buy For Glossy Lips
And we applaud Solange for the new ultra pixie do she got this summer. You can really see the attractiveness of her features with this bold hair style.
And Solange Knowles has another beauty tip. And this one's a Best Beauty Buy for Cheap!!
When it comes to lip gloss, Solange looks for a bargain and a product that delivers a pretty pucker.
"Wet 'n Wild...the cheap 99 cent stuff. The lip gloss is amazing," she says.
Well, we couldn't find a Wet 'n Wild lip gloss for 99 cents. There are lip liners for that low price. But the company's large variety of glosses start at $1.99 for their MegaSlicks lips. And the prices go up to about $3.59 for Wet 'n Wild's more costly glosses.
Still, excellent cost-savings for women looking for a bargain and good makeup products.
So, thank you, Solange Knowles for your great Best Beauty Buy.

Clear Up Skin Quickly With Once Daily Zinc Supplement
For those of us who have been there, pimples can seem like the end of the world. Acne has ruined many a date, instantly lowered self-esteem, and for some, lingered on for a number of years, even into adulthood.
So, what's so magical about zinc?
Let us explain. First of all, we know how important Vitamin A is to healthy skin. But so is zinc, because it is required to mobilize Vitamin A from the liver to the skin.
Several decades ago, a Swedish physician treating a patient for another ailment in the Uppsala University Hospital, noticed that the patient's acne improved after treatment with zinc supplements.
A Swedish study was later conducted on patients with pimples in a clinical trial. And after 4 weeks of taking zinc supplements, there were major improvements. After 12 weeks, the patients taking the zinc, showed an 87% improvement in their skin.
Zinc is present in a lot of delicious foods we enjoy, like pumpkin seeds, seafood, nuts, dairy products like yogurt and eggs, wholegrain breads, chickpeas, and so on.
From the research we found, most experts recommend one 15mg. to 25 mg. supplement pill of zinc daily. We don't want to scare you, but zinc can be toxic at high amounts. Trust us, a little goes a long way.
Take the zinc supplement with a meal. On an empty stomach, zinc can make you nauseous.
You can find zinc supplements at your local drugstore and in the grocery aisle.
That's it: 1 zinc supplement daily, with a meal.
Give it about a month, and you should see results. We can honestly say, this worked for us back in our college days. Within a month or so, our skin, and our girlfriend's skin improved greatly. And we were only taking a 15 mg. zinc supplement.
After our skin cleared completely, we later stopped taking zinc, and we never had a major case of acne again.
Just a reminder: If you are on prescription acne drugs or any kind of oral antibiotic therapy, do not take zinc supplements. Zinc could interfere with the absorption of these meds. Best to check with your dermatologist about the zinc method to clear up skin.
