Tip of the Week - Sculpting Your Abs Ellen Pompeo's Ab Workout

    This week I'm attaching a video from Self Magazine for sculpting your abs.  This video was inspired by exercises Ellen Pompeo (Meredith on Grey's Anatomy)  used to get her abs back into shape after she had her baby.  These are exercises you could easily work on while watching some of your favorite shows including Grey's Anatomy!


 Note:  You can turn off or mute my blog music on the right hand side with the music player before watching the video.

Fashion Friday Designer Handbags

     I was watching the movie "Sex and the City" and in the movie they talked about renting designer handbags.  There is a website that actually does rent them out by the week, by the month, by the season or for a special event.  I was browsing the site to see what it was all about and it seems fairly simple.  Once you are done using the bag, you send it back with free shipping.  You can go to your account to print out the prepaid return receipt and send your bag back via UPS.  You can even buy one of your rentals if you like with some of the rental equity you have built up on the bag.   It's an interesting concept and maybe it's a good way to have your own chance to take a Gucci handbag to your next party!  Or you can rent a clutch purse that your favorite celebrity took to the red carpet.  Here are just a few of the handbags available on Bag Borrow or Steal.

Bizarre Beauty Trends - Snake Venom and More

    This morning on Good Morning America I saw a story about Bizarre Beauty Trends and one of the trends they talked about was Snake Venom Serum.  It isn't really made from venom, but it is supposed to have the same effect.  It paralyzes muscles in the face much like Botox but without having injections and it covers the entire face.  It is supposed to be the secret to the stars. Another secret to the stars is using human placenta on their skin.  This one really is made from human placenta that is very costly, about $500 or more.  Lastly, another bizarre trend is using ice chambers. If you stay in the chamber for 3 minutes it will stimulate collagen production, plump out wrinkles and boost your metabolism.  The temperature gets down to -300 degrees Fahrenheit or -176 degrees Celsius.  They didn't name any of the stars who use these beauty trends but it makes you wonder who of our favorites could be using these bizarre treatments.  Would you consider using any of these treatments?  I might use the Snake Venom Serum but I'm not one to try human placenta on my face nor would I like being that cold not even for 3 minutes!


                                        I wonder if Angelina Jolie could be using Snake Venom?

                                  Could Demi Moore be using human placenta facial cream?

  Is it possible Reese Witherspoon could be jumping into an ice chamber before walking the red carpet?
