Staying Slim

It's Holiday season and it can be difficult to NOT pack on a few extra pounds with all the amazing dinners, family cooking, and delicious desserts. Here are a couple of helpful eating tips when it comes to holidays.

Worst Holiday Drink: Eggnog
Unfortunately, there is not one healthy aspect of this Holiday treat. It is full of fat from the egg, cream, and sugar ingredients. Opt for a glass of hot cocoa or apple cider instead.

Desserts such as Pecan Pie, Cheesecake, and Fruitcake are full of butter, sugar, corn syrup and fat. Pass on these holiday desserts and opt for desserts such as fruit pie/cobblers and pumpkin pie which has beta-carotene.

Avoid creamed veggie dishes especially when there are fresher options available. Avoid cheese sticks, swidish meatballs, and fried fattening finger snacks and opt for pretzels, chips and salsa, and popcorn.

Lastly, enjoy the holiday food just try not to overindulge. The key is to eat what you want, just limit the portion sizes of the unhealthy foods.

Wardrobe Malfunction? We've got the Answer.

Everyone has moments where they spill their morning coffee or Diet Coke on them right before a big meeting, or walked out the door to find a run in our hose. There are many different wardrobe disasters that happen to women on a day to day basis, so here are some little tips and tricks to help you out.

1. Little mini sewing kits are great to have. Throw one in your purse or keep at work in case your heel pulls the hem in your pants out or your button falls off. Many kits come with safety pins which are great to help with clothing tears and act as a great jewelry clasp if your necklace breaks.

2. Double sided tape. There are many different brands out there right now of double sided tape but it can be a fashion lifesaver. Use it to cover up a deep neckline of a top or dress that is revealing too much or ever help bra straps stay in place.

3. Clear Nail Polish is the best answer to a run in your pantyhose. The second you see or feel a run, do not pull on the pantyhose in any direction. Instead, get out your clear nail polish and apply it to the end of the run. Let is dry and the run will not spread.

4. Other things to consider are eraser sponges to help remove deodorant marks and scuffs on shoes, super glue to aid in a temporary solution to your heel breaking off your shoe, Tide To-go pen to help with immediate stain removal, and things like extra earring backs are also great to have in time of need.

One more fashion tip
Rub dryer sheets over your pantyhose, tights, and other clothing to get rid of static cling before you leave the house. It does an amazing job.!
