8 Ways to Get a Hot Hollywood Body …


There are a lot of hot bodies in Hollywood, bodies belonging to men and women alike, and although attaining that kind of perfection might seem like an impossible pipe dream, I promise you that there are many ways to get a hot Hollywood body. A lot of those ways are even easier than you might expect. Think of your favorite stunning Hollywood starlets, women like Jennifer Aniston, Angelina Jolie, Cameron Diaz, and every other tight, toned, sizzling celebrity you can imagine. If you want to stun like that, here are just some of the ways to get a hot Hollywood body like your favorite silver screen vixen.


1. Be Grateful for Exercise

What? I know, this sounds a little crazy, but it really is one way to get a hot Hollywood body. See, it’s all about your frame of mind. You can’t start thinking that exercise is some kind of chore, something to trudge through. Instead, try to feel grateful that you have time to exercise, that you have enough time during your busy day to really take care of your body. If you consider it a privilege instead of a chore, it will be easier to workout regularly.

2. Hold Yourself Accountable

You need to be accountable for everything you eat. No one is standing behind you, threatening to kill your loved ones if you don’t eat that gooey hot fudge sundae. If you’re an emotional eater, you have to hold yourself responsible for that, too; don’t use it as an excuse. Start a food journal, try to learn about and exercise portion control, and be aware of how many calories you’re eating without becoming obsessive.

3. Hold onto Your Virtue

What I mean by this is that you have to be virtuous. Don’t keep putting off your workout. If you get it over and done with in the morning, for instance, then you’ll feel proud of yourself the rest of the day. That, in turn, will help inspire you the next morning.

4. Rejoice in What You’ve Got

You’re not Angelina Jolie or Victoria Beckham or Emma Watson. You’re you and you have to love what you have. You’ll never find the perfect way to get a hot Hollywood body because there is no perfect way, there’s no magic involved. You have to appreciate what you have right now, and improve it only to please yourself. You have to want to be a better you – you can’t want to be someone else.

5. Have a Kettlebell

A lot of hot Hollywood babes are into using kettlebells these days. This is how Anna Paquin makes herself true hot on True Blood. You can increase your strength without getting all bulky, you get plenty of cardio, and your entire body gets a good workout – but it only takes 20 minutes! Stay tuned later, and we’ll take a look at some awesome kettlebell techniques!

6. Set Attainable Goals

If your goal is, “I want to look like Jessica Alba,” you need a new goal. The goals you set when you’re trying to get fit have to be realistic. You can’t lose 30 pounds in a week or even, necessarily, a month, you can’t cut your calories down to 700 a day, and you can’t make yourself physically look like a Hollywood starlet. Set healthy, attainable goals, and when you make them, set some more.

7. Do Jack Squat

That being said, one sure way to get a hot Hollywood body is to do a lot of squatting. Squats even beat the Buns of Steel workout when it comes to giving you a sexy butt! Your legs will look incredible too, and you won’t have to spend a ton of money at the gym.

8. Work Inside-Out

If you’re not healthy inside, you won’t be healthy outside. If you don’t feel beautiful inside, you’ll never feel beautiful outside. You have to nourish and enrich your mind as well as your body. Otherwise, you’ll never really be happy with yourself.
All these ways to get a hot Hollywood body have one important thing in common: you have to work at it. It takes a lot of time, effort, and determination to look like all those sexy girls in LA. If you want sculpted abs, toned legs, and muscled arms, you’ve gotta work for it! Do you have any other stellar toning tips you’d be willing to share? Let me know in the comments!

7 Ways Dieting Can Be Fun …


Dieting doesn’t have to be a drag… in fact, there are lots of ways dieting can be fun! While those in the midst of a nasty plateau may disagree, think back to these tidbits and even you’ll agree. I mean, really, dieting doesn’t have to be all sacrifice, no sunshine! Here are some thoughts…

1. New clothes!

At the top of the list of ways dieting can be fun, for any fashionistas, is that fact that weight lossmeans new clothes! If you can afford it, think of how much fun it will be to shop for new clothes, and how nice it will be to show off your new curves! If you can’t afford to shop for new clothes, host a swap with friends or check out the thrift stores… also fun!

2. More energy!

You used to barely be able to drag yourself home from work and onto the couch in front of the TV, but now you’re a bundle of energy! You weed the garden, cook a light meal, and still have time for a quick mini-pedi before bed… losing weight or just switching to a healthier diet means more energy!

3. Tasty foods!

Let’s face it: once you start dieting, eating more nutritious foods, fast food doesn’t taste very good. Compared to fresh fruits and veggies, not much does! Dieting can be fun because it can expose you to a number of tasty foods you haven’t tried before… your palate will adapt surprisingly quickly, making skipping the Big Mac a near-necessity, in favor of other, much tastier foods!

4. Workout buddy!

I love dieting because that means I can spend more QT with my workout buddy, who happens to be one of my best friends. I rarely get to see her outside of the gym, so dieting is fun for me because I get to spend time with her again, almost every day!

5. New adoring fans!

You’ll notice a slew of new fans not long after you start dieting, and what could be more fun than a fan club? The compliments, the appreciative stares, the whistles… the dates! Best of all perhaps are the envious looks from your worst/best frenemy… shallow, I know, but it’s so much fun!

6. Better in bed?

More confidence in your new body may equate to more confidence in bed, which is a big, big turn on for your guy… which may be a big, big turn on for you! You’re sexy and confident and what could be better than that?

7. Two words: bikini!

Okay, I know, that’s one word. But the joy of choosing a flattering two piece swimsuit after hiding your body in a one-piece (with a skirt) deserves two words, in my view. Is there any other ay dieting is more fun than this? I think not.
So see? There are lots of ways dieting can be fun, and these are just a few of them! If you’re on a weight loss journey, what’s been fun about it for you? Or have you done something in particular to make it fun? Do tell! We dieters need some encouragement!

7 Coffees From Around the World …


Over 400 billion cups of coffee are consumed worldwide every year. The world’s favorite beverage is also the second most valuable trade commodity after oil and the four major coffee producing countries are Brazil, Vietnam, Columbia and Indonesia. Much like wine production, soil and climate play a huge role in determining the flavor, texture and aroma of the coffee bean and because of this, each country and region produces its own distinctive taste. Here’s a run through 7 coffees from around the world and what makes them so tempting to caffeine addicts everywhere.


1. Kenya

The coffee connoisseurs among you will know that African coffees generally have a spicy, tangy edge. Kenyan coffee is no exception. With its rich aroma and spicy, full bodied and distinctively acidic, almost citrus flavor, coffee from Kenya is amongst the finest available. Kenyan coffee is a great choice for people who enjoy their coffee strong, and tastes particularly good black.

2. Brazil

Brazil is the largest producer of coffee in the world. When freak weather conditions trigger a poor harvest, it has a knock on effect worldwide as coffee drinkers see prices of their favorite beans soar. One of the most popular coffees from around the world, Brazilian coffee is deliciously light, smooth and aromatic. Its mild, medium bodied flavor makes it an ideal choice for people who prefer weaker coffees and it is perfect for any time of day.

3. Java

Widely considered the world’s finest coffee, Java coffee combines a heavy body with a fairly low acidity. A must try for all coffee addicts; its flavor is strong and intense and has a distinctive, pleasantly earthy aftertaste. If you’re looking to sample just one new coffee from around the world, you can’t go far wrong with a cup of Java Arabica French roast.

4. Hawaii

Grown on the slopes of dormant volcanoes in the Kona region of Hawaii, coffee from this region is frequently voted the world’s most luxurious coffee by American consumers and it’s not hard to see why. It is thought the combination of wet, sunny days, mild nights and mineral rich volcanic soil in Kona creates the perfect coffee growing conditions, producing a sweet, smooth and delicately spicy flavor with a subtle nutty quality.

5. Costa Rica

Producer of the best mild coffees worldwide, Costa Rica employs a strict ‘hard bean only’ system to classify its highest quality coffee beans. The result is a coffee which is full bodied and richly flavorsome with a tempting aroma and a delicious spicy edge. An all-round favorite with coffeedrinkers across the globe.

6. Jamaica

One of the most sought after coffees around the world, Jamaican Blue Mountain is renowned for its distinctive sweet flavor, moderate acidity and rich, full body. Some consider it the king of gourmet coffees and it often comes with a hefty price tag to match. Its reputation for delicious sweetness is certainly well founded but this is one for those of you who prefer mild coffee, it does not work served strong.

7. Columbia

Of all the coffees from around the world, Columbia’s beans might be the most overlooked. Unfairly associated with instant coffee, Columbia actually produces some of the world’s best quality Arabicabeans and is the second largest producer after Brazil. It has a well balanced, smooth flavor with moderate intensity. Perfect for a late afternoon pick me up.
I hope this list of the most deliciously distinctive coffees from around the world will inspire you to try something new next time you need a caffeine hit. With 24 coffee-producing countries worldwide, the varieties covered here are just the tip of the iceberg. Do you have a favorite?
