beauty | Lola and Paz : Lifestyle : NYC

We have a holiday weekend coming up here in the US and the mere thought of putting on a bikini is enough to scare me, but the thought of a bikini against skin that has not seen sun since last summer is enough to send me- running! I don’t fake bake and, while I did try a self-tanner once, it made me look like a tangerine so, I have stayed faaaar away from these products. But, the other day I ran into a gal pal who had a beautiful glow: “look at that tan” ooh aahh tell me, “Where’d ya get that tan?” Expecting to hear two of my favorite words, St. Barths, I almost fell out of my Choo’s when she replied “Duane Reade down the street!” This beautiful glow came from a tube. SO, here we are and now I am doing market research for you…

We’ll call it faux glow or no go. I took photos of my legs today, and next Friday we’ll see just how well this works. For those of you who can’t wait for my results and want to start your own personal experiment, here is what I purchased:

Jergens Natural Glow (Firming version)….I mean since “it’s clinically proven to reduce the appearance of cellulite in as little as 7 days” (said in an infomercial voice) why the hell not…let’s go for it!

Stay tuned! My results will be posted this upcoming Friday.

Green juice…so maybe this isn’t at the top of the list for your go-to drink (though, it should be). And, if you are new to juicing this post might sound kind of scary…but let me tell you, this leafy green drink adds a vitamin and mineral rich punch to your daily nutrition! Not only are green juices anti-oxidant rich beverages, they are anti-AGING-oxidant rich beverages to boot!!! So, you feel better, look better and it doesn’t require needles or a plastic surgeon!

Are you listening now?

Look, I know that It can be a challenge to stay energized so I try to have one of these babies every single day. I love the way it makes me feel and I am convinced it does wonders for your skin. In the end, it’s plain and simple… “it does a body good” (now, where have I heard that before? ). Now go ahead and have one….

Some of my favorite juices are from:

Organic Avenue
Blueprint Cleanse
Juice Generation

Or green juice from any health food store.
