Some of Hollywood’s fittest stars share their fitness secrets.
Carrie Underwood
This American Idol keeps fit by jumping on the treadmill 4-5 times a week,sticking to a vegetarian diet, and keeping a food journal where she jots down everything she eats.
Britney Spears
This mother of 2 stays in shape by skipping giant sodas and high fat snacks. She eats a 1,200 calorie diet of lean protein,veggies and brown rice- she also does cardio 3 times a week.
Nicole Scherzinger
This Pussycat Doll claims she can eat whatever she wants, but she says she maintains her weight by running several times a week and doing yoga on the beach.
Joss Stone
Joss says she was born a vegetarian. And she avoids tour foods like pizza and instead goes for healthier choices like avocados.
Jennifer Nettles
This Sugarland singer stays in top form by sticking to a semi-vegetarian(seafoos,eggs,dairy and tons of fruits and vegetables) diet. She’s also a hard core yoga fan.
Alanis Morrisette
Alanis keeps in tip top shape by sticking to a 90/10 vegan diet.
“You can call me a 90/10 vegan, which means every now and then I have a piece of salmon.” She also does pilates sessions 5 times a week.
Lots of celebs-including country singer Taylor Swift-swear by Moroccanoil. Moroccanoil’s proprietary Argan oil blend is rich in vitamins and natural elements that fortify the hair, including Vitamin F (Omega 6), Vitamin A to improve elasticity, Vitamin E to protect against free-radicals, and Phenols to shield against environmental stressors.
Bones star, Emily Deschanel ,is quite possibly one the most beautiful women out there in my opinion. Her skin is always so flawless and it has a healthy glow to it. So what’s her secret to great skin?
The vegan actress says the key to her perfect complexion is in her kitchen. She recently eliminated soy from her diet and swears that did wonders for her skin. She also eats a lot of hemp seeds, almonds, pistachios and whole grains, which are essential for healthy skin according to her nutritionist Ashley Koff.
Her Inner Beauty Secret:
Deschanel has several small meals a day and fills up on veggies, always going back for seconds of leafy greens.
Her Outer Beauty Secret:
She uses Dr. Hauschka Skin Care Cleansing Cream and Jurlique Balancing Foaming Cleanser to keep her skin looking flawless.

Have you tried any of these products before? What were your thoughts?
I was in CVS this weekend when I noticed they were having a sale on Burt’s Bees products. I love a sale so I decided to pick up some new things to try. Here are the reviews….
Peach and Willowbark Deep Pore Scrub
Scrub your skin peachy clean. This product uses ground peach stone to gently exfoliate your skin and willowbark to help clear pores. Willowbark Extract contains natural Beta Hydroxy Acids, which works as a natural skin exfoliant to help unclog pores. I used this product last night and it’s wonderful. My skin felt nice and soft and it smells great. Two thumbs up!
Retails for:$8.00
Radiance Exfoliating Body Bar
This natural soap is specially blended with royal jelly, one of nature’s most nutritious substances, to enhance skin’s radiance and overall tone. Jojoba beads and fruit acids gently exfoliate to smooth and even skin tone for a naturally healthy, radiant glow. I’ve been using this for the past few days and while I haven’t noticed a radiant glow yet it smells nice and leaves my skin feeling very very soft. I’ll try to update and let you know if I notice a more radiant glow.
Retails for: $4.00
More Moisture Raspberry & Brazil Nut Shampoo & Conditioner
This shampoo and conditioner are becoming a favorite of mine already and I’ve only been using them for the past few days. My hair looks soft and shiny and I can’t stop smelling it. I even had someone stop me yesterday and ask what I used on my hair because it looked so healthy. I would consider my hair to be on the dry side (even though I have oily roots) so that was nice to hear. It’s all thanks to Burt and his Bees
Retails for:$8.00 each they were on sale at CVS for $3.99 each .
Citrus & Ginger Root Hand Soap
This hand soap smells great and leaves my hands soft. I bought one for each of the bathrooms in my house.
Retails for:$7.00 they were on sale at my CVS for $3.50 each
Have you tried Burt’s Bees products before? Got a favorite I should try? Let me know.
If you’re a dedicated reader of this blog then you already know that I’m a huge fan of dry shampoo. I need to wash my hair everyday or else it looks dirty and greasy (yuck). So what happens when I’m too lazy/busy to wash my hair every day? I reach for a dry shampoo. The All Nighter is the one I’ve been reaching for the most these days.
What they say:
The secret to great looking hair? First, stop washing it so much and then start using the first ever all natural hair powder and styling product for men and women - The ALL NIGHTER Styling Powder! This ultimate styling product comes in six color-matched options for all hair types. You can love yourself and your hair using The ALL NIGHTER, because it contains no parabens, no aluminum, no talc, no silica, no propellant, and of course, it’s cruelty-free! Gently scented, The ALL NIGHTER Styling Powder absorbs excess oil and contains real silk powder for a luxurious satin feel.
Creator and long-time industry pro Tony Artur has been offering beauty products at his boutique and website, A Beautiful Life, for years and wasn’t happy with the quality of hair powder and dry shampoos on the market. Says Tony, “It’s bugged me for so long. We sell a ton of hair powder but everyone complains about it. And it got me thinking: WHY do the colors look so artificial? And WHY are they so full of parabens, talc, and other nasty stuff?”
Tony created batch after batch of his own formula of hair powder until he finally found one that passed the test of the toughest critics; his wife Jennifer and her cadre of fashionista friends. Without a minute to waste, Tony started production of The ALL NIGHTER and when pre-orders started coming in on his website he knew he had a winner. Tony’s mission is to redefine exactly what hair powder is to the general public. People can save money (less blowouts), help the planet (eliminate excessive shampooing) and look fabulous doing it! The end result is a product both utilitarian and esoteric, marrying functionality and fashion in a way that hasn’t been done before.
Our thoughts:
You can’t go wrong with this product. From the way it absorbs oil to the way it smells The All Nighter is amazing. A lot of dry shampoos out there leave you with a powdered/flat look to your hair, but that won’t happen with this one. They also offer you a choice of six shades so you’ll for sure find one that’s right for you.
To learn more about The All Nighter check out this video:
It’s ideal for those with dry, aging skin who want to soften and protect the skin. With that said I have oily/combination skin and I use this product as well so I think it could be used by almost anyone.
What it does:
Want silky soft skin? If you answered yes then this is a must have product for you. Vitaminic helps even out your skin tone and leaves you with a gorgeous natural glow. It also helps combat dryness and premature aging. I have a few fine lines on my forehead that have softened with the use of this product. Another great thing about Vitaminic is that it’s not heavy like a lot of other similar products on the market and it smells like oranges….yum. I’ve recommended this product to several friend and family members who are always asking how I get such a natural glow to my skin sans makeup, and now I’m letting you in on my little secret as well.
Giveaway:
The best part is Pevonia Botanica is giving away a bottle of Vitaminic Concentrate to one lucky Beauty and Fitness Reader. All you have to do is leave a comment on this post telling me why you want to try this product and I’ll pick one lucky winner Monday June 15,2009. Good Luck.
