‘For the price of about four mocha lattes, you can gain knowledge and skip those extra calories.’
One of Jackie’s tips: is to eat frozen fruits like strawberries, bananas and grapes.
?Wear clothes that fit. They will make you look thinner than baggy clothes even if you have a few extra pounds.
Don’t forget your hands when applying your daily sunscreen. Hands can show your age.
Carry a jumprope in your suitcase…OK, it’s a good one, but I’m way too lazy! I’ll stick to eating the frozen grapes:)

Frozen fruit tastes like candy. Try frozen red seedless grapes, bananas and strawberries.

?Don’t forget your hands when applying your daily sunscreen. Hands can show your age.
This is a great tip, as you can see someone who has perfect, young skin on their face, but when you look at their hands you see their real age! Thanks for the link, I look forward to checking it out more.

Purple Grape Granita
According to a study conducted by Jane E. Freedman, M.D., assistant professor of medicine and pharmacology at Georgetown University, “The flavonoids in purple grape juice work in two related pathways: First, they have a protective effect on antioxidants, allowing them to provide active protection against oxidative stress for longer periods. Second, they also seem to have a direct, positive effect on a number of biological functions like platelet activity, nitric oxide production, and signaling in cells, all of which may be protective factors.”

Thanks.

I like the thought of “wear clothes that fit!” She’s right… you just look better if you forget what the tag says and go for a good fit, whether it’s bigger or smaller than you’d like the tag to read.
I’m pregnant with my second, and instead of wearing parachute shirts this time around, I’ve started wearing more form-fitting clothes, and it makes me feel so much thinner than I did last pregnancy!
Thanks for the giveaway!

?Don’t forget your hands when applying your daily sunscreen. Hands can show your age. (Jackie Silver’s tip)
I apply moisturizer with sunscreen every morning, then rub the excess onto the backs of my hands to protect them, too.
I like this one–Wear clothes that fit. They will make you look thinner than baggy clothes even if you have a few extra pounds.
She says to “Wear clothes that fit your body and you will look thinner even if you have some extra weight on your body”… basically confidence is everything. Flaunt whatcha got!!
I’ve just got to get some PINK GRAPEFRUIT!
Freeze antioxidant-rich pomegranate juice in ice trays and put a couple of cubes in your water for an Aging Backwards refreshing drink.
One of JAckie’s tips: Asparagus is a natural duiretic. Eat it to lose that bloated feeling.
The frozen fruit tip is great for a low-cal, nutritious way to satisfy a sweet-tooth, especially during the summer when you are more tempted to reach for ice cream.
Asparagus is a natural diuretic – eat it to lose that bloated feeling.
Dehydration can lower energy levels and blunt your ability to concentrate. Do not wait until you’re thirsty since the thirst sensation doesn’t occur until you’ve lost two percent of your body weight; dehydration is defined as fluid losses greater than one percent of body weight. In addition to off-setting dehydration, water is necessary for proper elimination, metabolizing stored body fat and suppressing appetite.
THIS IS SOOOOOO TRUE, if you FEEL thirsty, you are already 1 qt. low!!! Dehydration also appear’s as headaches and often hunger is really thirst, so drink water and wait a few and see if you are really still hungry.
2nd paragraph not Jackie’s quote, it’s my tip!!!
