CP - Fashionable Ways to Organize Your Shower

Fashionable ways to organize your shower

Fashion is no longer restricted to couture and shoes. Soapy hands and eyes make the shower a mess. Organize and de-clutter your shower with cute and chic accessories. Doesn’t it feel nice to know where exactly your shampoo, scrubs and conditioners are placed instead of scantily hunting all over?

Start off by getting rid of that toothpaste that you hate, the leftover shampoo that you swore to finish and that rusty foot cleaner. Keeping junk in the shower will only add to the trouble of finding products that you need. Want to turn your shower experience into a sensual spa? Then, check out these top three cute accessories-

1. Shower tote

Cute and fashionable shower totes are a functional accessory. The Flexible Shower Tote offers a line with integrated dividers to organize toiletries like shampoos and body washes. The totes are made from flexible plastic with drained holes to let the water escape.

2. Cute soap holder

Make the shower ambiance aesthetically pleasing by getting cute soap holders. A personal favorite is a monkey holding a leaf over the head for keeping the soap. Opt for cute animals or your favorite cartoon characters to pep up the bathing experience.

3. Loofahs

You can keep your loofah in tote bags or just hang it on your shower or tap. A good loofah ensures a complete cleansing experience. Get a loofah with extendable handles, especially for the areas where the hands can’t reach, like the back. Choose sweet and colorful loofahs in shades of pink, purple and turquoise.

CP- Recipes for Delicious Desserts Featuring Favorite Fall Fruits

Recipes for Delicious Desserts Featuring Favorite Fall Fruits

Author: Linda Wilson

Is there anything better on a cool Fall day than coming into the house and smelling the aroma of the season's best fruits? Well, feeling the warmth of the oven might be a close second. Here are some recipes to enjoy this Fall and Winter (or anytime of the year), using some of our Fall favorites - pears, apples, and blackberries. Grab a cup of coffee, hot tea, or hot chocolate and enjoy a real treat.

SNAPPING CRANBERRY-PEAR CRISP

FRUIT MIXTURE:

1 can whole berry cranberry sauce
2 tbsp flour
5 med pears, peeled and sliced*

TOPPING:

1 cup coarsely crushed gingersnap cookies
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tbsp brown sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

For the fruit mixture, combine cranberry sauce and flour in a medium mixing bowl; mix well. Add the pear slices, toss to coat evenly. Place fruit mixture in a baking dish and set aside.

For the topping, in a small mixing bowl, combine cookie crumbs, flour, brown sugar, and butter; mix well. Sprinkle the crumb mixture over the fruit mixture. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the pears are tender and the topping is golden brown.
Note: This is just as good when you substitute apples for the pears.

Oregon's Blackberry-Apple Crunch

Filling:

4 cups sliced Granny Smith apples
2 cups fresh blackberries (may use frozen but do not thaw)
3/4 cup sugar

Topping:

3/4 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup butter
1/2 tsp cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl, combine the apples, berries, and sugar. When well combined, pour mixture into a 9 x 13 x 2-inch baking pan or dish.

In another large bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, oats, walnuts, butter and cinnamon; blend together using your fingers. Sprinkle over the top of the fruit. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately an hour or until the top is brown and fruit is bubbly.

Enjoy!

Tips to Keep Kids Healthy This Spring from Ashok Wahi

As the warm weather approaches and kids feel the cool breeze on their skin, they may quickly come down with a case of spring fever. Health and Wellness Expert, Ashok Wahi, believes that while spring is the perfect time to engage in some exciting, new family activities, it is also a time for parents to pay a little extra attention to making sure kids are safe, healthy and focused. Wahi, a renowned author and prominent inventor, has compiled five tips that will give parents peace of mind while allowing their kids to get outside and enjoy the season.


1. Protect kids from spring allergies. Springtime activities may increase a child’s exposure to allergens which can spark symptoms such as sneezing or itchy, watery eyes. Wahi suggests trying a drug-free alternative that won’t make your child drowsy like other over-the-counter products. Wahi invented the NasalGuard® technology, which is currently being marketed in the U.S. and Canada as Chloraseptic® AllergenBlock®. Nasalguard is a clear odorless gel that is applied to the outer nose and upper lip and it blocks airborne allergens from entering the nasal passages and stops allergies before they start. He was motivated to develop Nasalguard years ago by a desire to help his own daughter who suffers from cat allergies.



2. Keep kids focused on school until summer vacation through yoga. As the sun is shining and birds are chirping children may become more interested in what is going on outside the classroom windows compared to what is on the blackboard. Wahi, author of 14 different yoga books including Yoga for Kids, suggests that parents should consider the positive impact that yoga can have on keeping children focused both in school and after.



3. Prevent insect bites. Avoid having your child suffer from itchy, painful bug bites by using the appropriate insect repellent. Parents should only use products that are approved for children and should follow the manufacturer’s instructions for removing the repellent when you return indoors.



4. Ensure safe sun exposure. The warm weather will inevitably result in increased sun exposure for children. To ensure safe sun exposure for their kids, consider protective clothing, applying sunscreens with UVA and UVB protection and having kids wear sunglasses. Even when it’s cloudy a child can be sunburned and certain insect repellents can lower the effectiveness of suntan lotion.





5. Practice water safety with children. Beyond never leaving children unsupervised around water, parents should also take some additional precautions to ensure safety around water. Wahi suggests talking to children about the dangers of playing in canals and rivers and teaching the importance of wearing approved safety devices while boating or tubing.

4 parts apple juice
3 parts vodka
½ part lemon juice
½ part Galliano

After a few of these, your temperature will rise and your skin will take on a jaundiced glow. Mix everything in a highball glass then fill it to the brim with ice. Garnish with a wedge of granny smith apple.


Big Bird source: foodvu.com

1 part whiskey
1 part peach liquor
1 part amaretto
1 part sweet and sour mix
1 part pineapple juice

You don’t remember, but when you were four Grandma innocently told you Turkey’s are a kind of Big Bird. You went ballistic – screaming and crying over your favorite friend on Sesame Street. The only way anyone in the house could stop from strangling you was to down a couple of these.

Mix everything in a cocktail shaker full of ice. Shake it like a baby rattle. Nope, not soothing enough for the kid. Well, pour it all in an ice filled highball glass. Go ahead and double up on the recipe. You’re not the only one who’ll need one.







Yellow Jacket source: cocktails.suite101.com

Simple to make, this drink is tangy and refreshing, with a sharp bite to it.

•Ice cubes
•2 measures of pineapple juice
•2 measures of orange juice
•1 1/2 measures of lemon juice
Into a cocktail shaker half filled with ice, pour the pineapple juice, orange juice and lemon juice. Shake well and strain into an old fashioned glass. Decorate with a lemon wedge or orange wedge.





Yellow Girl Blues source: DrinkSwap.com

2 oz Bacardi Limon Rum
1/2 oz Triple Sec
1/2 oz Blue Curacao
2 tsp Sugar
2 1/2 oz Water
1 whole Lemon








Lemon Liqueur Aka Limoncello source: mydailymoment.com



Ingredients

•15 thick-skinned lemons
•2 - 750 ml- bottles liqueur
•4 1/2 cups granulated sugar
•5 cups water


Methods/steps
Wash the lemons in hot water before you start. Remove the peel with a vegetable peeler, removing all white pith on the back of the peel by scraping with a knife, and put the peels into a 4-quart Mason jar. Add 1 bottle of liqueur and stir. Cover the jar, date it, and put it to rest in a dark cabinet at room temperature. After 40 days, take out the liqueur-lemon mixture. In a saucepan set over high heat, stir the sugar and water together and boil for 5 minutes. Let the sugar syrup cool completely in the pan, about 10 minutes. Add the sugar syrup to the vodka-lemon mixture along with the second bottle of vodka. Stir well to combine. Replace the cover on the jar and note the finish date. Return it to the dark cabinet and store for 40 more days. At day 80, remove the limoncello from the cabinet. Strain the mixture and discard the lemon peel. Pour into clean, unused bottles with caps or decorative corked bottles. Store the bottles in the pantry, but put one bottle at a time in the freezer until ready for use

Learn from Amoy first-hand, how to achieve this ethereal and wind-swept, yet effortless look:



Step 1: Begin by applying the René Furterer Volume Mousse from root to end to achieve texture.



Step 2: Working on dry hair, use a 1-2” curling iron to create a soft wave through the crown. Spray a brush with RF Dry Shampoo to create volume, after adding Amoy Couture Hair clip-on extensions to add fullness and length to the hair.



Step 3: Using a comb, brush back the hair at the root, sweeping the hair to one side and creating a long braid. Continue to comb the braid back to create lose flyaway’s for a soft, renaissance look.



Step 4: After the application of makeup, put on the look’s final touches by spraying the hair with RF Finishing Spray, securing any loose hairs.










ABOUT AMOY PITTERS:

A New York beauty industry veteran, Amoy Pitters has had a passion – and natural talent – for the worlds of hair, beauty and fashion since the start of her career. Mentored by industry icon, Odile Gilbert – and featured in the famed work Her Style – Amoy launched her impressive career as a sought-after hair stylist in the fashion industry, booking her career-first fashion show in Paris, styling the locks of the runway models for the Christian Dior couture collection in January 1998. There, recognizing her unique skill set, Amoy was asked by the show’s production team to style the house’s legendary designer John Galliano’s own hair for his final bow. Soon after, Galliano himself began requesting Amoy as his personal hairstylist. Fashion maven Donatella Versace was next in line, after taking notice of Galliano’s newly styled locks. From there, Amoy was in-demand worldwide, styling hair for editorials and fashion shows, and transforming the looks of supermodels, Hollywood starlets, iconic fashion designers, Grammy award-wining musicians and, of course, Amoy’s everyday clients at her modest East Village salon in New York City. Today, her impressive clientele includes Alicia Keys, Kerry Washington, Mary J. Blige, Joy Bryant, Selita Ebanks and Maggie Rizer. On the heels of Fashion Week, Amoy is opening the doors of her full-service beauty salon in New York City’s Upper East Side— Amoy Couture Beauty.

Thank You Notes For Holiday Gifts

After getting a ton of holiday gifts this year (some good, some bad), Alana and Javier Marmanillo, co-owners of the lifestyle and greeting card company, Love & Luck Greetings, want to remind families and kids to send a thank you notes! They explain, “As a gracious recipient of a gift, it’s important to thank the one that gifted you in the first place! Not only will they be grateful for it, but it will be a reminder for them to gift you again next year! Consider it a holiday gift insurance policy, so to speak.”



Need tips for what to say in your thank you card? Alana and Javier provide the following tips:

· Keep It Short, Sweet, and Simple: You may have several cards to write, and it’s the thought that counts. Have everyone write a brief “thank you” and make sure that everyone signs it!

· Be Heartfelt and Honest: Keep your words and thoughts sincere and open. Honesty is always the best policy (but don’t tell them if you ended up returning the gift)

· Explain Why You Love the Gift – It never hurts to explain why you love the idea of the gift and why it’s perfectly suited to you and your life.

· The Future – Always end the card by wishing them a fabulous new year and that you hope to see them soon.

Get in Shape for 2010 Celebrity Trainer Shows You How

GET IN SHAPE FOR 2010—

CELEBRITY TRAINER, THELONIOUS ‘T.J.’ JOHNSON SHOWS YOU HOW



It’s that time of year again: New Year’s resolutions are set to slim down, tone up and get in shape! However, a new year means new stresses, coupled with the hectic schedules of our day-to-day routines, reaching that goal often seems impossible— until now. Thelonious Johnson, better known as T.J., a sought-after fitness expert, boasting an elite clientele of which one of the most well-known is CNN’s Anderson Cooper, has supplied easy-to-do tips that promise to get you fit without getting you stressed…



v BUILD UP A SWEAT BEFORE BEDTIME

Whether you are supplementing your workout routine or need to jumpstart a new one, adding twenty minutes to the end of your day will help you to burn the day’s calories, clear your mind, relieve stress and stay away from dessert. Jog around your neighborhood, take on spinning at the gym or even jump rope at home.



v DRINK MORE

No matter where or when – in the morning before your daily cup of coffee, by the cooler at the office, or at dinner instead of wine – make a conscious effort to drink more water. As dehydration will often lead you to mistake your body’s thirst for hunger, the added H2O will keep you hydrated, ensuring and those hunger pangs are only present when your body really needs nourishment and preventing over-eating. Bonus: your skin will glow!



v WRITE IT DOWN

Sit down and establish a few realistic fitness goals for yourself – lose 15 pounds by summer; strengthen upper body, tone abdomen; improve your running time; etc. – next, write them down on a piece of paper and carry them with you. This friendly reminder will help you stay on track and keep you from reaching for that midnight snack.



v GRAB A FRIEND

Need motivation to make it to the gym? A workout buddy will encourage you to maintain your workouts, even if you’re not in the mood. Providing support, enthusiasm and accountability, a friend will remind you of the importance of your fitness goals while pushing you to reach them. If your schedule doesn’t match up with your friends’, work with a personal trainer a few days a week instead. A trainer will work with you according to your timetable and design fitness plans that match your goals.



v SWITCH IT UP

After some time, a workout routine may need a makeover. As you notice that your workout become easier, your body may not need to work as hard to complete the session. Keep your body guessing, while revving up your metabolism, by changing your workout routine every week.
