Valerie Bertinelli Approaching Three-Year Anniversary of 40 pound weight loss!



Jenny Craig veteran and weight loss success story Valerie Bertinelli will soon celebrate her three-year anniversary on the Jenny Craig Weight Management Program.

Bertinelli reached her goal of losing 40 pounds with Jenny Craig in December of 2007 and today she struts a toned physique and rocking bikini body!


Through the Jenny Craig Weight Management Program, Valerie was given access to a variety of tools that helped her reach her goal. The weekly support from her Jenny Craig consultant combined with portion-controlled meals to keep her calorie intake in check allowed her to be a true weight loss success story and inspiration to people everywhere looking to lose weight. www.jennycraig.com/

Super Bowl Snacking for Women over 45! The 100 Year Lifestyle!

[ 0 ] January 25, 2010
We’re two weeks away from Superbowl Sunday; a day that’s become better known for feasting than football. Nabisco tells us to “Snack Happy,” but how happy will you be when you step on the scale after the eating frenzy is over?

Health and fitness expert Dr. Eric Plasker, best-selling author of The 100 Year Lifestyle and The 100 Year Lifestyle Workout, wants to help you get through the game without the gain. He has compiled some Superbowl Superfoods that will satisfy a snack attack and keep you looking slim and trim.

Dips that Don’t:
Hummus and babaganoush are two great dips that add some edge to your party. Plus, they’re much healthier than heavy cheese dips. For variety, buy an assortment of flavors, like red pepper, garlic and olive. Pair these with pre-cut veggies like carrots, broccoli and celery, rather than chips. You can also buy whole grain, stone ground or 100 percent whole-wheat crackers, which contain fiber and nutritional value. You’ll get all of the flavor and less of the fat.
Wings for Winners
Buy baked chicken wings instead of fried ones. When they’re covered in sauce, you won’t taste the difference. Just be sure to steer clear of blue cheese and ranch dressings, or buy low-fat versions.








Sub Saviors
Sub sandwiches can be a good way to get your protein and fill up on not-so-fattening food. Limit the mayo, pack your sandwich with extra lettuce and tomato, and eat it open-faced to save on calories.





Dessert Danger
Finger foods can be the most dangerous, as they’re easy to pop into your mouth without thinking. Don’t be a grazer. Load your plate with a small portion of whatever you want to try, and then step away from the dessert table. That way, you’re practicing portion control.







Workout Warriors
Plan ahead. If you think you’ll be taking in an extra 1,000 calories on Superbowl Sunday, make sure to get in a good workout on Friday, Saturday and Sunday before the game. That way, you can compensate for the extra intake and net out without weight gain.

Product Feature: White Sands Hair Products + 20 %Coupon– Women over 45!

[ 0 ] January 20, 2010

At Still Blonde after all these YEARS!  we have had multiple opportunities to experience the excellence of White Sands Hair Products.  We debuted  Whitney Houston as styled by Tiffanie Dixon with a uber-Chic hairstyle that anyone over 45 can rock in our Blog Post HAIRSTYLES: Great Hairstyles for Women over 45! November edition 45+.
We recommended White Sands products White Sands Liquid Texture Soft Hold Styling Spray, White Sands Curl Up in Silk Texture Defining Mousse in our Girly Girl Holiday Gift Guide for Women 45 and Over!–2009 and named it our official Products/Brand of the 2009 Holiday Season, winning White Sands  this exclusive feature focus piece on our site. 

Apparently others are recognizing this awesome brand. Recently, White Sands Infinity Finishing Spray ($21) was chosen  the recipient of Best Hairspray for Beauty Launchpad Magazine’s 2009 Readers Choice Awards! Infinity Finishing Spray has quickly transformed into the hairspray of choice for celebrity hairstylists, salon stylists and their clients. Due to the product’s versatility and infinite styling options, Infinity is a flexible finish spray, providing incredible hold, control, and volume. This hairspray can be easily combed through for any style change, provides UV protection, and repels moisture, even in the harshest weather conditions.
Infinity Finishing Sprayis also ideal with any hot tool, allowing you to create and recreate with ease. Infinity even increases the amount of shine in the hair when paired with your favorite iron. The more heat applied, the shinier the hair becomes, providing superior on-demand styling performance.
While we at Still Blonde after all these Years! have not tried this particular Hairspray by White Sands, it certainly appear that others recommend it highly.  We really liked the White Sands Soft Hold Liquid texture ($19) which works great for scrunching especially after using White Sands Curl Up in Silk (Texture Defining Moisturizing Mousse FIRM–$19.50).  Our reviewers head was just one big swirl of shiny ropey curls.  This winning combo would be fantastic on vacation for wash and go hair!

Another thing we personally love about White Sands is their website.  While heavily populated with younger women, you can still visualize how the products and styles might work on Women over 45–although I wish they’d feature a few!  One section that’s really fun is their Click through “View the Latest Trends” section, which even gives you tips on how to style your hair to that style.  Another fun section is the Hype Section, which details how Hollywood Stylists are using White Sands Products to make their Stars look even better–Check out this “Dancing with the Stars” article!   
 


New Product Announcement for January 2010!  As one of the first hair care products incorporating the breathtaking oil from the orchid flower, Orchids by White Sands ($20) is a unique oil to instantly restore inner balance to the hair and scalp, while creating shine and adding natural moisture to tired, stressed tresses.
Orchids by White Sands encompasses a one of a kind concept due to the characteristics of the orchid flower itself.  The orchid is immortal since its cell membranes contain a longevity molecule (i.e. cell membranes do not deteriorate with time). With only a 3-4 year lifespan for each hair strand, Orchids by White Sands will make hair reach its best state with unsurpassed elasticity and longevity. This immortality, in return, will intensify and improve the integrity of hair allowing tresses to “live” in the best cuticle condition during its lifetime. We at Still Blonde after all these YEARS! have not had an opportunity to review this product, so we feature it based on the company’s reputation!


Here’s a coupon to try White Sands products yourself!

Offer Expires: 1/31/10 (Open to Continental US Only)
