Free Radicals vs. Antioxidants – The ugly Truth
Hello Beauties!
Free Radicals are unstable molecules that damage our body’s cells and tissues, so basically think of a sliced apple that is left out in the open air.
It turns brown right?
EWWW?
This is oxidative stress and Free Radicals are basically unstable molecules that cause us to ” rust ” from the inside out.
This is a normal process of our bodily functions. Cells die and new cells are constantly being re-generated as our bodies have a natural defense to combat in this process called oxidative stress.
The problem is it that Free Radicals can become excessive when we are exposed to excessive sunlight, if we smoke, drink alchohol and eating high-fat fried foods.
Our bodies are under constant attack of oxidative stress on a daily basis regardless; poor lifestyle choices and habits can overwhelm our body’s natural defenses causing oxidative stress and associated with declined in our health.
Just don’t blame it on the al – al -alco-alcohol….
Antioxidants combat this process so think of keeping your car waxed and shiny so the paint does not rust –
That’s what antioxidants do for our bodies it keeps us waxed, shiny and Diva-licious! 🙂
That is why antioxidants are soooo important to have in our diets!
So drink on that green-tea and enjoy! Ocassional Wine is good too, just don’t be a lush!
It’s not a good look for a Diva 🙂

Hello Beauties!
The following is a guideline to use for a 60 minute work out routine
Every work out should start with at least 5 minute warm up for cardio – This reduces your chances of injury and warming up your muscles!
The next 50 minutes of your work out is the part that will make you sweat! So wrap up hair, sling it in a pony tail or put it in a bag because Divas are about to GET IT IN!
Finally the cool-down every work out session should end with one so that you can bring your heart rate back to normal and get the blood flowing again to help reduce cardiac stress – This part of your exercise should involve stretching.
Personal Training Experts say that for effecting lasting transformation it’s a good idea to work out 5 times a week anything else can be conterproductive.
It is important to give your muscles a chance to rest and recover.
If you are good to your body, it will be good to you.

When on the journey to making life changes along the way many people can become “threatened” when we on on our way to making positive life changes and can sometimes sabotage our efforts; directly and indirectly.
The Food Pusher
solution: Acknowledge the behavior and let this person know that you are trying to lose weight and be healthy. Let them know what they can do to support you.
If they continue to ignore your request don’t take it personal as people can be selfish and their need for approval far outweighs your need for support in your weight loss efforts.
Hold your ground; at the end of the day your health is your responsibility.
The ” Threatened ” Spouse/Friend/Family member
Time and time again I am sure we all have stories of people in our lives who may initially feel ” threatened ” when we are on our way to to take the necessary steps to improve our health. They may do things like ” show – out ” when it’s time for you to go work out or go to the gym so that you are late. They may ask you to go our for ice-cream or pizza whatever your weakness is – is their someone in your life who is subtly sabotaging you on your way to optimal health on the down-low?
solution: It does not mean that this person does not care about you, they just may feel threatened. In an example a husband/boyfriend may feel that once you lose the weight and get healthier that you will find someone ” better ”
(LoL maybe you will. Maybe you won’t ) he will just need to step up his ” A ” game if he has not been treating you so nice or maybe calling you names that are not so nice.
If he does treat you right – assure him that he is the ” apple -of- your-eye ” include him in your journey . It may even bring the two of you even closer than ever before!
If this person is still trippin’ you may need to reconsider your relationship & you may have to put your ” dueces up”
Lesson Ladies! ” Don not let anyone or anything get in our way of Getting ” Fly by July! ” That means for the sake of our own health and happiness continue to eat healthy – working out – and accomplishing your goals!
The Hater
Yes haters do make the world go around, but sometimes we may not be in the mood to deal with their foolishness. The Hater is the person who always seems to be in ” competition ” with you. The ones that want you to be heavier so they appear to be thinner. The one who always has to be one step ahead of you – a nicer car – a bigger house – a hotter boyfriend/husband – better weave – better hair… whatever, do you know or have anyone like that in your life?
solution: Evaluate the relationship. Is this someone that you really need in your life? Is this an unhealthy relationship that just seems to hold you back? If you want to get out of this relationship and can … Dueces! Go ahead and do it!
What if this person is a family member or a co-worker?
Limit your contact and set FIRM boundaries.
You are way too Fabulous – Diva’s are sought after and are rare like precious stones – not everybody can shine like you shine and well….. dealing with haters is a part of the job. We have to extinguish them when they try to break a diva down because we’re not having that!
” Can I get a Fly Girl ” Hi Fly! ” ohhhh yeaaaa! ”
You deserve to be surrounded by people who are supportive and want only the Best for you!
Be Fabulous!

Fabulous Friday! Better Than Beauty Secrets – Slip into your Erotic Soul
December 23, 2011

Hello Beauties!
When we are on our journey to better health and wellness, sometimes in the area of seduction we may feel uncomfortable given to our weight, how we look or we may just be plain tired and not have the energy to put into it.
If you are in a relationship or if you are single it’s important to always keep that inner seductress alive!
If she dies relationships die and the possibility of one if you do not have any; most importantly when we lose our femininity we can lose a part of ourselves – not a good look for a diva!
It doesn’t matter how much we weigh or the shape of our bodies. Expressing our femininity is what separates us from our male counterparts. It’s owning your womanhood and all of its powers.
It’s what makes you a diva-force to be reckoned with and you don’t have to be a ” Beauty Queen ” or ” Super Model ” to use your diva powers.
We all have it, but not all of us know how to find it.
1. Appreciate your sexual self-expression as it is today and how it has been in the past, and make the decision to go in a different direction. What kind of seductress do you see yourself becoming? Visualize her.
2. Take out the Trash! Get rid of anything that does not serve your new goals and let go of the things that stand in the way of a diva-licious new self-image that will be born as you become more aware that your inner seductress is there.
Go through your closets and get a big garbage can go through all of your clothing and under garments and ask yourself would a diva where this?
Get rid of the old stuff ripped up bras, panty hose with holes with runs and clothing that no longer suits you. Ask yourself: Would a dazzling diva be caught in that get up?
If the answer is ” Hell to the No! “ trash it or donate it.
3. Create a vision board for the diva seductress, start looking around for things that symbolize her self-expression and sexuality that represent your new choices, fantasies, fulfillment and desires. This can be garter belts, corsets, or little knick- knacks, you can even go to a travel agency and get brochures of places you would like to go etc. Have fun with it be creative!
Go through magazines and find pictures that represent of how you want to look and feel and express yourself with a man. As you achieve your goals, make a new poster 🙂
Use language – cut out headlines that state your new choices like ” Confidence is Sexy ” or ” Sexiest Woman on earth etc.
Watch movies and learn from them like Basic Instinct and countless others
4. Find your best default pic of you in your diva-ness – if you do not have one that represents your new self-image find one in a magazine of google it, but just one picture is all you need to add to your visual mantra. Frame that picture and add it to your shrine.
5. Take ” him ” to the Cleaners – Tell ” Mr. Wrong ” good-bye
and say Hello to” Mr. Right-now ”
If you already have a good man – invest in a hot tub ….
Be Fabulous!
