Rippa Is Ripped: Kelly's Breakfast Secret Contains Avocado

We all know and love Kelly Rippa from "Live with Kelly and Michael."

And there's no secret here: Rippa is ripped!!

You won't find an ounce of fat anywhere on Kelly's body. Possibly in her little, belly button, but that's about it. The woman is ultra-light but quite muscular for her tiny size.

The daytime star is a work-out freak and disciplined dieter. You will either LOVE Kelly Rippa's physique or hate it.

And it hasn't been easy for Kelly to ignore the constant, cruel tabloid headlines and comments about her such as, anorexic, eating disorder, boy's body, and so forth.

We don't know Kelly Rippa, but we do see a fit body.

Is she scary skinny, like a lot of folks say?

Well, we think she is down too fine, especially after having seen the actress spend a number of years on the former soap, "All my Children." There she was much heavier if we can use that term, and she looked equally gorgeous.

Today on "Live with Kelly and Michael,", the topic of breakfast came up. Kelly admitted that she doesn't indulge until AFTER the show, which ends at 10 AM.

She used to have this for breakfast:

Greek yogurt with blueberries + pistachios mixed in.

This morning, Kelly Rippa introduced her new fave breakfast:

mashed avocado on an English muffin with red pepper flakes.

Kelly was raving about how nutritious the avocado is, and she is right.

The avocado is such an amazing food on all fronts.  Even babies can enjoy it as one of their first fruits.  The avocado is heart-healthy full of good fats that can lower bad cholesterol.  The soft inner fruit is packed with almost 20 vitamins and minerals, and one serving boasts a mere 50 calories. Plus this little, dynamo with the thick, pebbly skin is cholesterol-free and sodium-free.

We love avocado and we think this is a filling, little breakfast!

Thanks, Kelly!

Kardashian - Jenner Girls Leading The Plaid Parade: Look Remains Hot For Spring 2014!

Rodarte Spring 2014.

We caught this on the runway! Plaid.

Flannel plaid for those warm spring days?

Well, it's still a popular fashion trend, but this is called faux flannel plaid. And it's HOT! The plaid is a print on a lighter fabric.

Still, there are cool days + breezy nights, so a REAL flannel shirt is great way to cozy up in or to tie around the waist as a cool accessory.

The Kardashian sisters and Jenner sisters have all been taking the flannel plaid shirt to the casual level, especially Khloe. And we like the grunge 90's look.

Want to copy Khloe's plaid flannel shirt?

She's wearing the popular Pyrex 23 shirt ($48, one size).

Will you be joining the fashion plaid parade?

Actress Salma Hayek smolders on the big screen. She's a petite beauty with enormous sex appeal. And part of that allure comes from her raven, beautiful hair.

And Salma could NOT live with out her Tangle Teezer. Look what she recently told InStyle mag:

New Topical Gel For Rosacea Sufferers: Mirvaso Removes The Red!

We LOVE when beauty science keeps advancing. And today, we are talking to the 16 million Americans who have this annoying but common skin condition known as Rosacea.

There is HELP on the way with a new FDA-approved topical gel called Mirvaso.

As the Mirvaso website states....:From RED to READY in about 30 minutes! And the topical treatment lasts up to 12 hours.

Mirvaso reports the toning down of redness by 2 grades. That's pretty amazing for those of you constantly bothered by persistent redness, especially during the cruel winter season.

This is a prescription formula, so a visit to the dermatologist is the way to proceed. We can tell you, however, that you MUST be 18 years or older to qualify for treatment with Mirvaso, otherwise known as Brimonidine.

The topical gel is applied in a pea-sized amount, once daily to each of the 5 regions of the face: forehead, chin, nose + each cheek.

How does Mirvaso deliver?

It works by constricting otherwise dilated blood vessels, thereby cutting down on the appearance of redness.

There are famous faces with Rosacea including the late Princess Diana, Cameron Diaz, Mariah Carey + Rene Zellweger.

 Check out the Mirvaso website for the impressive results of RED to READY!
