Perfect Skin...

As I was growing up my mother would tell me "Paula, take care of your skin, stay out of the sun, don't scrunch your forehead or else you will look like your father." At the time, like any other kid, I would roll my eyes. Now at 37 I absolutely take care of my skin, I wear sun screen daily and am still trying not to scrunch my forehead.  Two out three things ain’t bad as Meatloaf says! If you don't know who Meatloaf is then you are too young.
But you are never too young to start taking care of your skin. Cleanse your skin, moisturize twice daily, use separate eye cream and use sun screen. Those are 4 products that should be part of every woman’s beauty ritual. And yes it is a ritual. Just like any habit once you start it, it won't take you long. There are other products you can add to your regime but if you are a basic no fuss kind of girl you will be fine with these steps. If you are like me and are deathly afraid of aging (yes, I am) - then you need more steps. Masks are a must (cleansing and hydrating) depending on the season. Exfoliating can be done with gentle scrubs or my favorite new product the Clarsonic Mia. It is worth every penny. It makes your skin feel so soft. It says you can use it twice a day but I found that my skin couldn't handle it so I use it once a day with my cleanser. I also like to use skin brighteners to keep my skin tone even.
I was a sun worshiper as a kid (yes, even when my mother used to tell me not to use the baby oil I did anyway). Oh and those lovely tanning beds - yep did those too. I am very lucky that I don't have a lot of skin damage. I am not just guessing, my dermatologist said so. I see her every year.  I must say that even though I do take care of my skin, genetics has been helping a lot too. Don't get me wrong, I love having sun kissed skin I just got a pool this summer so I better spend some time out there or my husband will divorce me. So when I am floating in my raft I use sunscreen, big sunglasses and a big sun hat. My husband says you’re going to get weird tan lines. I tell him that's what makeup is for! I can fix that easily. I would rather look like a bug than wrinkled and dried up!
Drinking water is also another step to having great skin.  I started this habit very early on life, once again because of my mother.  And of course, working up a sweat is important, at least once a day. Sweating cleanses your skin. Your skin is the biggest organ so you better protect it.
To conclude this lesson, I go back to those famous words my beautiful mother said to me, Ttake care of your skin, don't go in the sun (without sun screen) and don't scrunch your forehead or else you will look like your father. Listen to your mother or at least mine, she does know best.

-Peace-

PBO Model Gretchen Coley
I have been buying jewelry from Lindsay at PBO since she started selling it.  I have purchased pieces for stage and pieces for everyday.  Let me start by saying every piece Lindsay purchases for the PBO collection are pieces she would and does wear herself.  Don't be fooled by the affordable pricing!  These are quality pieces not that junk you by at the mall!  It is unfortunate that you only see photos on a website.  In person each piece is stunning and when you pick them expecting them to be flimsy you are surprised by how substantial and well made they are.  I get numerous complements every time I wear a piece of PBO jewelry! I absolutely love every piece I own.
Just visit:  www.perfectbodyonline.com  You can pay with Paypal and your order will be shipped immediately.

Perfect Body Models Tyneshia Royal aka "Ty" and Leslie Seidenberg

This is my fulfillment - I love my PBO girls... The feeling of Sass and confidence is priceless!

Did you know this about Alcohol?

The Truth Behind Cocktails …

Rather than alcohol getting stored as fat, the main fate of alcohol is conversion into a substance called acetate. The blood levels of "acetate" after drinking the vodka were 2.5 times higher than normal and it appears this high increase in acetate puts the a big Hold on fat loss.
For an example: A car engine typically uses only one source of fuel. Your body, on the other hand, draws from a number of different energy sources, such as carbohydrate, fat, and protein. Your body tends to use whatever you feed it. Your Body is your Car and the Fuel. is your food! Consequently, when acetate levels rise, your body simply burns more acetate, and less fat. In essence, acetate pushes fat to the back of the queue.
So, to review, here's what happens to fat metabolism after your cocktail drink or two. 
•                A small portion of the alcohol is converted into fat.
•                Your liver then converts most of the alcohol into acetate.
•                The acetate is then released into your bloodstream, and replaces fat as a source of fuel.
The way your body responds to alcohol is very similar to the way it deals with excess carbohydrate.
A little Fact on to much of anything... Although carbohydrate can be converted directly into fat, one of the main effects of overfeeding with carbohydrate it simply replaces fat as a source of energy. That's why any type of diet, whether it's high-fat, high-protein, or high-carbohydrate, can lead to a gain in weight. You always want equal portions with smaller meals and eating 5-6x a day!
Appetite
The combination of alcohol and a high-calorie meal is especially fattening, mainly because alcohol acts as a potent appetizer. "A Canadian study shows that an aperitif (an alcoholic drink taken before a meal to increase the appetite) increased calorie intake to a greater extent than a carbohydrate-based drink "
So between the acetate and "fattening" alcohol eating this can really slow the process down from your weight lose goals. So be mindful of the drinks and eating at the sometime. I like to choose one or the other if I’m out to dinner and I try to have a cocktail once a week. But, to be honest I love food more!  :)  

PBO Model Tyneshia Royal


A quote from our PBO model: Tyneshia 'Ty' Royal The PBO NYC photoshoot experience with Lindsay, Jorge and Marie-Lynn was absolutely FABULOUS! I've always loved the camera so, I wasn’t surprised when all the excitement and anxiety surfaced the minute I got there. Lindsay made me feel so comfortable and her guidance and support were priceless. I loved the idea of having her there to help with her expertise! Marie-Lynn worked her "Princess Magic" on my hair and makeup...just beautiful! And last, but certainly not least…Jorge! Jorge, was a true gem! His patience, professionalism, kind words and expertise made the shoot so much fun and run extra smooth. He made me feel just like a Queen! You guys make an AWESOME team."
