The Best Way to Relax...With a Massage!

There are so many things you can do to take care of your body. With the proper care, you can improve your overall physical health, mental health, appearance, and confidence...sounds good to me!

One way to to improve the health in your body is by getting adequate vitamins and minerals. All vitamins have their important functions, but I have a few favorites. Vitamin A is needed for healthy skin and immune system functioning. Vitamin E has so many benefits for your skin, hair, and nails as well. Vitamin B helps your body metabolize energy...if you've been feeling super tired lately, have your levels of Vitamin B checked! I take a multi-vitamin daily to help my body get what it needs. Make sure you talk to your doctor before starting up a vitamin regimen!

Another way to take care of yourself includes skin care. Don't go to bed with make-up on (I usually wash my face twice a day). Make sure you moisturize and wear an SPF of at least 15, even in the winter!

Lastly, my favorite way to relax and keep my body health at an optimum level is by a routine massage. I go to a day spa in Huntington Beach and I always look forward to going. Massage helps increase blood flow, decrease stress, and decrease the amount of toxins in the body.

What are you favorite tips to keeping your mind and body healthy? I'd love to hear from you!

Top 5 Shortest Celeb Weddings

Is it just me or does everyone else think celebrity weddings are kind of a joke? I mean some couples are actually in love and will abide by their marriage but then there are others that last for only a few days, or even hours. Celebrity proposals are always blown out of proportion with hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions, spent on ornate wedding rings, only for the marriage to end abruptly. Read on for the top 5 shortest celebrity weddings on record.

1. 9 Days : Cher and Gregg Allman
Wedding date = July 1975 Divorce: July 1975

2. 8 Days : Dennis Hopper and Michelle Phillips
Married= October 1970 Divorced: November 1970

3. 55 Hours : Britney Spears and Jason Alexander
Married: January 3, 2004 Divorced: January 5, 2004

4. Less than 24 Hours: Zsa Zsa Gabor and Felipe DeAlba
Married April 13, 1983 Divorced: April 14, 1983

5. 6 Hours: Rudolph Valentino and Jean Acker
Married and divorced November 1919

**hmmmm if you ask me none of these people should have ever even gotten married, 6 hours? Really! I bet that was worth it

Kristin on Crutches

Kristen Stewart showed up at the 85th Academy Awards on Sunday hobbling along on crutches, telling folks on the red carpet only "I'm an idiot" when asked why she was using the orthopedic aids.

She posed for pics on the carpet unassisted, however, and similarly hopped along with Daniel Radcliffe to present the production design Oscar to "Lincoln," but was photographed using the crutches again as she left the ceremony.

Her makeup artist, Beau Nelson, had more of the story for People. Kristen "cut the ball of her foot, quite severely, on glass two days ago," he said.

Ouch. Not what a person needs before a long night in stiletto heels, even with the healthiest of feet.

Fortunately, a search for appropriate flats to wear with herReem Acra gown was successful, he said, and Stewart suffered through "a little bit of pain" to do her job onstage. As if wearing any sort of shoes through the Oscar marathon weren't painful enough!

The show must go on, we suppose, despite pain inflicted by a wayward piece of glass and possibly by those Razzies the night before.

The Oscars

Well, what did you think of The Oscars this year?  I can honestly say, I didn't watch it.  I hate watching tv to be honest.  For some reason, I can't stand watching tv.  I get fidgety and impatient and feel like I am wasting time.  Even if you do see me in front of a TV, I can guarantee you I will also be on my computer, folding laundry, doing SOMETHING.  I can't just sit and relax.  I am too type a. 

Anyway, I LOVE the internet because I can watch things on my terms.  Little bits, pieces, pictures, etc.  And boy did I check out the Oscars pics online!  I didn't see any of the "best pictures" at all this year (I'll get them when they come on HBO.  

I have to say that my favorite is looking at all the dress pictures.  I have a teenage daughter who is entering "the prom years" so I like to look!  I have to say that overwhelmingly, class was the word of the night!  Just look at this lovely gown from Amanda Seyfried!  Honestly, don't know if she won an award, but just being this classy in this gown is an award in my book!

So Excited for the Engagement Party This Weekend!

This weekend, we have been invited to celebrate the engagement of two of our closest friends: Emily and Rob. We couldn't be more excited for them and we are glad they invited us to share in this great moment in their lives! They made the announcement a couple of weeks ago, and due to our work schedules I have yet to see her ring. She told me all about it on the phone and it sounds amazing. Rob has a knack for having great taste, so when she said that he got her an ornate engagement ring, I can imagine it to look stunning and nothing short of perfect.

They have asked us both to be in the wedding party and I can't wait! We are both so honored. I can't wait to help Emily with her wedding planning and of course celebrate her bridal shower and bachelorette party right by her side. This weekend can't come soon enough, bring on the celebration!
