Calorie Cutting Ideas

Plain nonfat or low fat yogurt is a great replacement for
sour cream. Use it to make salad dressings. It’s also good
as an add on to breakfast cereals and desserts.

If you love pie, stick with the fruit pies. Pumpkin and
other fruit pies are lower in calories. Pecan pie has about
430 calories while the same slice of pumpkin pie is only
240. You can drop another 100 calories if you don’t eat the
crust!

Ask yourself if you really tasted and enjoyed that last
bite of food. If your answer is no, it’s time to slow down.

To help downsize your portions, use a smaller plate.
Instead of a dinner plate, use a salad plate for your
entire meal.

Sunless Tanning Tips

Did you know you can look ten pounds thinner just by adding
a tan to your skin?

A great tan makes you look healthy and thinner, but make
sure to do it right. Protect your skin from the sun’s
harmful rays.

Below you will find tips for sunless tanning.

Sunless Tanning Tips

Try the light to Medium products if you have fair skin or
the Dark formula if you have darker skin.

Before applying sunless tanners, cleanse and exfoliate skin
with a soft loofah or cloth to achieve a longer-lasting,
even tan and allow it to dry. Any dry patches will absorb
too much color and your tan will look uneven. When
applying to the face, avoid spreading in or around eyes.
Use sparingly around knees, ankles and elbows where formula
can develop darker. Apply a thin even coat over your body.
Using either horizontal and vertical strokes or a circular
motion.

Use a sponge paintbrush, available at any hardware store,
to apply self tanner to your back. Look for one that is
from two to three inches in size. Wash before use and let
it air dry.

When using spray products spray and blend quickly and
thoroughly over one body part at a time. Do not saturate.

Apply a lighter amount of sunless tanning product to areas
with thick, dry skin such as elbows, palms and knees.
Wash hands with soap and water immediately after
application.

To tan the backs of your hands, apply with a make-up wedge
in smooth even strokes being sure to blend in evenly. Tan
hands and feet–If you use a self-tanner on your hands and
feet, use a make-up sponge to blend well around the fingers
and toes. If you take your time in applying carefully,
it will look very natural.

Avoid contact with clothing, fabrics, furniture, and
carpet.

Wait one hour before applying any foundation or moisturizer
or before swimming or bathing.

Reapply as needed to maintain or deepen color.
