Wardrobe Makeover

 by Shea Schneider

Does your wardrobe match your personality?

There are 3 billion women who don’t look like super models and only eight who do. The average woman weighs 144 pounds and wears between a size 12-14. A psychological study in 1995 found that 3 minutes spent looking at a Fashion Magazine caused 70% of women to feel depressed, guilty and Shameful! Models 20 years ago weighed 8% less than the average woman. Today they weigh 23% less. There is something seriously wrong with this picture.

“The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.”

It is an absolute fallacy that you can “put on” beauty, but regrettably, this is what we are conditioned to believe! So many of us frantically search (in vain, I might add) for a “look.” Why do we search for a look and then try to make it our own? Our clothes should match us, not the other way around. We sabatoge our own efforts to look fabulous when we wrap ourselves up in an image that is not true to who we are.

A truly radiant woman is one whose “look” reflects her authentic self. While there is nothing you can ever “put on” that will adequately convey your beauty as a woman, you can learn which colors, patterns, textures, and designs allow others to see the real you. Once you learn how to dress this way, people will be drawn to you for all the right reasons. They will treat you differently. Their attention will be on your eyes, and they will easily see who you are. Perhaps the most gratifying aspect of this whole experience is the confidence you feel. There is great power in presenting oneself authentically. Tragically, most women hide their true personality behind the clothes they wear. They waste money on clothes that rarely get use and can’t figure out why they feel uncomfortable wearing them. Their hairstyles and makeup are out of harmony with themselves, and actually cover up their natural, radiant beauty.

As long as they hide behind the image they create for themselves, no one ever really sees what they have to offer.

The ultimate goal is to ditch the man-made (or woman-made) images that permeate our society. What will compliment one woman will often times age another. True fashion is about understanding the beauty that is you, then seeking to honor it.

When your outward appearance becomes an authentic portrayal of who you are on the inside, you will love the way you look and feel. Every aspect of your life will become more beautiful as you experience a whole new you – the real you.

“The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows. The beauty of a woman with time only grows……

The Cleansing Makeover

by Richard DeAndrea, MD, ND

The diet industry is a $30 billion-dollar-a year-failure. Most people fail the minute the”die-t” word is even mentioned. Diets do not work and they do not guarantee a permanent result. Diets are a training ground for repeat business. 

It is important to accept that a body out of tune can not even digest good food well. The key to a real makeover must focus on the internal world as much as the presentation that can be scored in the outside.

Cleaning the inside of the body changes metabolic function to the degree that we lose weight while healing. This is the key to permanent results.

A great program to try is the “Power Cleanse,” — it is a mild program that works at the cellular level to help increase longevitiy and create that healthy glow.

A good makeover is about finding a way to feel good and be fulfilled with the process. The program has been used by thousands of people and has produced consistent weight loss results, reduced stress and left people with glowing nutrient-rich skin.

Is your body showing signs that it needs a fat cleanse?

* Is cellulite collecting on your hips, thighs or tummy? (Cellulite is a combination of fat, water and trapped wastes beneath the skin.)
* Are your upper arms slightly flabby or your waistline noticeably thicker?
* Does your face look jowl-y or puffy? Have your wrists and ankles thickened?

Pointers for best results from your fat/cellulite cleanse:

* Drink plenty of water! .
* Enzymes are a dieters best friend! Enzyme-rich juices and foods help you lose and maintain your ideal weight.
* Include a superfood drink once or twice a day for energy and nutrient content- (ie Dr. Greens).
* Boost your fiber intake. Fiber is another key to weight control, especially for men.
* Watch your fats like a hawk! Unhealthy fats make you gain weight…… healthy fats assist weight loss.

Improvement signs show that your body is responding to the cleanse.

* Energy levels rise almost every day as you go forward with the cleanse. Your weight will drop as you go forward with the cleanse.
* Digestion noticeably improves as toxins are flushed and high-quality nutrients are more quickly absorbed.
* Elimination problems, often associated with weight problems will almost certainly lessen.
* Circulation will noticeably improve, as will all cardiopulmonary performance.

These are proven results that have been experienced by real people that have real lives. This program and its principles are easy to follow and hardly make any difference in your day. You will naturally find the program satisfying and worth the cost.

It took 20 years of health knowledge worth millions of dollars to create this program in order to bring it to those that are willing to give enough to themselves.

Garage Makeover

The whole right side of their garage was filled with a mass of sporting goods clutter. A rowing machine was hidden under various ropes and elastic stretching devices. There was a tipped over golf bag which had spilled the clubs into the various gaps of space. Three bikes with flat tires lay on their sides. Half of the items in the piles were still in the original packaging. The weights appeared to be rusting. The couple was not able to park their other car into the garage because of the space the sports clutter cornucopia took over.

The couple was overwhelmed and miserable. They didn’t know what to do to feel better. I asked them about each of the items and they hesitated about saying whether they needed it or not. They kept talking about how they wanted to use these items because they had heard how great they were. Yet, still they weren’t using them. They were listening to what others had told them to do, and weren’t listening to what they felt like doing. I asked them what kind of exercise they get now. They guiltily said they don’t exercise. I knew they had two dogs. I asked them if they walk the dogs every day. They lit up and said yes. They revealed that they walk their dogs in the hills behind their home an hour twice a day. I told them that’s exercise. They were surprised. I said they could let the sporting goods go because they weren’t using them and they are already exercising. They were relieved. They looked happy for the first time since I’d met them. They were personally realigned. They donated all the sporting goods equipment and were able to park their car in the garage again.

When there’s an empty feeling in our lives we feel a compulsion to fill it. Sometimes it’s with a person, sometimes it’s with food, and sometimes it’s with stuff. We are taught and trained by TV commercials, billboards, magazine ads, web ads, and radio commercials that we will feel happy when we buy something and bring it into our lives. So when we feel empty and low, the mind goes, “let’s buy _____. When I get ____ I will feel better and everything will be okay.” The problem is the feeling is temporary and the empty feeling comes back and then we get the same kind of thought again to go out and make another purchase and acquire another “thing”. Soon our lives are surrounded by clutter. We no longer feel good when we come home. Our living space becomes a place to house all these things. And since we are not feeling happy because of this we get the compulsion to go and get another thing.

When you find yourself in this situation, maybe you get the feeling that it’s time for a clutter makeover. You stop and say, “No, I’m not going to buy another thing right now. I don’t need something else. I am discovering that getting more things is not making me feel better. It’s actually making me feel worse. “ In the same way you look at a painting in a museum, stop for a second and take a “look” at the empty feeling that was the cause of this situation. This feeling is a thing because you can observe it. Be aware of its qualities. What size is it? Is it fuzzy or clear? What color is it? Is it 3D or 2D? That feeling is going to still be there if you buy that dress or TV or CD or… When you take this time to observe the feeling you notice it begins to fade. It loses its hold. You start to breathe easier. As the feeling fades, it’s replaced by the quality of peacefulness. And it turns out that all you were ever looking for.

In his eight years of Clutter Busting in Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York City, Brooks has learned first-hand about the intense emotional connection most people have with material possessions, and has consistently found that internal clutter must be addressed before external clutter can be discarded.

Colon Cleansing Makeover

By Talya Meldy 

More than half the population is suffering from self-induced internal poisoning (auto-intoxication), coupled with environmental poisons. The colon is to some extent filled with old fecal material that is a source of poison to the entire body and mind. Old waste has been known to stay in the colon for weeks, months, or even years. Our bodies designed to clean out the colon everyday naturally, two to three times a day, but that is rarely the case for most people because of poor diet, lack of exercise and the stresses of modern civilization.

Colon hydrotherapy is used for detoxification and restoring health. Documented therapeutic benefits of colon hydrotherapy date back centuries, despite the fact that it is a controversial and often misunderstood form of bowel management. Colon hydrotherapy equipment works so well to clean the large intestine that it’s beyond belief. One session can be compared to 30 enemas. Registered with the FDA, current colon hydrotherapy equipment is safe and effective. It contains temperature-controlled, filtered water, plus a built in sanitizing unit. Disposable single-use rectal tubes are also used for sterility. No more long tubes and buckets like the old days.

A session of colon hydrotherapy will usually last 30 to 45 minutes and has you experiencing comfort and cleansing with no toxicity. Techniques using slow fills of water flowing gently into the colon stimulate the natural peristalsis to release softened waste. Flaccid and weak colon muscles, as well as dehydration lead to constipation and make elimination difficult. Colon hydrotherapy removes waste and encourages better elimination, as well as hydrating the body.

Colon hydrotherapy is an effective and safe form of cleansing the colon when administered by properly trained I-ACT certified practitioners.

Dating Profile Makeover

by Grant Adams 

This is a special section exclusively for men — a raucous wake-up call place to learn one thing: success with women.

When I first started dating 6 long years ago, I had no idea how much fun it would be. I was terrified of being perceived as a failure in life. You know. Divorced. Broke. No self-esteem.

I spent 6,000 dollars on my first date because I couldn’t show up in my stupid old family minivan - so I bought a used Beemer. And all I got was a kiss at the door. In fact, she looked into my eyes and asked, “So, what’s the
protocol?” And I, knowing ZILCH, stammered something pointless. And got a kiss for my efforts. Not even any tongue. Just one dry kiss.

How times have changed…

That divorce was the gift that keeps on giving. It woke me up to possibility. To abundance. To the THOUSANDS of available women online. To new ways of internal-thinking, of interacting at parties, to things like White Tiger Tantra and and Red Tiger Tantra, Wombat Tantra, … ANY tantra!
And a huge part of the fun of being single has been meeting other guys in this special niche community. Not only you, but the other teachers, guys like Dave Wygant, David DeAngelo, Style, Lance Mason, Dr. Alex, Dr. Paul, Doc, Carlos Xuma, Steve P., Brent, my brother in Internet Dating Mastery, Dave M. and the original Obi-Wan of them all, Mr. Ross Jeffries - all powerful, curious, smart men determined to
crack the code.

And what have I learned for all this cracking, code and otherwise?

It’s simple: the best and easiest way to succeed in a natural, fun, relaxed way is to BE EXCITED ABOUT YOUR LIFE.

I invite you to become a part of The Complete Attractor, my gift to men, where you’ll hear my breakdown of the 7 areas of your life and how to energize them for maximum attractor-factor… and yeah, by the way - having a great life while you’re here.

It’s ALL ABOUT having a great life.

* Breaking through thought patterns that are limiting you.
* Experimenting with new hidden personae within you already.
* Pushing your EDGES in every way to shake off any sloth in your mind, body or spirit.

Divorce was my great divine Kick In the Pants.

We all need it from time to time.
I will do everything in my power to help kick your pants in any way that helps you break into new levels of success this next year.

As always, helping with internet dating and of course Erotic Mastery.
But also with the first ever West Coast Conference on Deep Attraction.
More to come on that.

For now, here are a few KEYWORDS to start your New Year right.
May they serve to you having a year of abundance… and a bun dance. Or two.

1) FREEDOM. You are single. You get to experiment with your persona, your modes of dress and expression. You are absolutely free to try new adventures, try out new voices, hone whatever intellectual, social or sexual skill or fantasy that intrigues you without having to make apologies or excuses or even explanations to ANYONE.
This is the time for you to CREATE YOU. Your growth and your best self. Then you get to bring that core strength into any relationship.
It is the strength of your conviction about how to live your highest goals that will not only draw women to you, but also allow them to flourish and follow THEIR highest goals - within your strong container. Stand for your HIGHEST goals. And you will attract the devotion of the coolest, most grounded, most trusting, most devotional women who know how to treat and support a man who is on his path.

Alternatively, you can skate on the surface of pick-up, which will get Chlamydia from bar girls Your choice.

2) INTERNET - I’ve said it before and I’ll shout it forever - Internet dating is God’s gift to men. No bar bills. No hidden boyfriends at home. No crowded bars or clubs. No bovine best friends or cockblockers to swoop in at closing time to ruin your night.
Just page after page of women who are PAYING to meet guys.
Match.com is great. True.com is a rip off. eHarmony.com is a scam.

3) DEIDA - the Master. If you don’t really grok him at first read, read him again.
If you haven’t bought his book, The Way of the Superior Man, go to Amazon now and just buy it. Introducing you to this book alone may be the single best favor I’ve ever done for you.
He will give you levels of understanding yourself and women that you can’t get anywhere else.

4) EroticMastery - Of all the programs I’ve done, of all the research I’ve done, this may be the most unique - and perhaps most helpful. Think about it - what’s the point of attracting women if you’re just average in bed?
Be as expert erotically as you are in attraction skills.

5) SOCIAL CRIME NETWORK - do you have iTunes?
Go to iTunes Radio, click on comedy and open the free standup comedy network, Social Crime Network. Joe Rogan, Doug Stanhope, Bob Saget, George Carlin, Richard Pryor and lesser talents - comics who will not only keep you laughing but who draw humor from truth. They are mind-habit breakers.
Write down the best lines.

Laughter is serious business. It’s good for you. Listening to comedy keeps your happy hormones flowing - which makes you more attractive. And also - if you get XM Radio - National Lampoon Radio, 154. I have a hand in that one. Laugh a lot. Have good lines stored up.

Life is good. Go to your edges. Take action. Break habits. Gain new skills. Get energized.

BE THE RIDE that women want to get on. The women will flow naturally in your direction. And you don’t even need to wear a big furry hat.

Grant Adams’ goal, as founder of “The Fearless Lover”, is to effectuate, (for himself as well as for others!), a buoyant life of diminished fear in all its forms, and a continuous opening of the heart into deeper, broader love as a daily practice — no matter what.Most important of all, Grant is the single father of two astonishing young men, whose powerful and loud music can be found at myspace.com/bygpyg and in neighbors’ houses for a radius of half a mile.

Orthodontics Makeover

Early Treatment-Preventive OrthodonticsThere has long been a theory in orthodontics that all can be corrected “once the permanent teeth come in”. It is perfectly logical thinking that has served our patients well. However, there is research that promises the same and in some cases even better cosmetic results with earlier intervention. If orthodontic treatment is delayed until all the permanent teeth are in, it is more difficult to align the jaw bones. This is why the American Association of Orthodontics recommends the first examination at age seven. This is generally known as a Phase I and Phase II treatment.Phase I treatment starts around seven years of age and usually lasts 12-20 months. The reason for starting treatment at this age is that the jaw bones are adaptable and we can direct and modify the growth of the jaw bones. By correcting the position of the jaw bones, it can prevent the extraction of permanent teeth, as well as improving the child’s facial appearance. In some instances jaw surgery can be prevented. Some common orthodontic problems that are corrected during the phase I treatment are overbites, underbites, crossbites, openbites, thumb sucking, and severe crowding of teeth.

After this first phase, we expect subsequent treatment, Phase II, to begin around twelve years of age or when the rest of the permanent teeth are in. The second Phase is to fine tune the tooth positions now that the jaw bones are in the correct position. This phase generally will last about 12-20 months as well.

Preventive orthodontics or Early treatment is really about catching tooth and jaw problems early when they are easy to correct. The main purpose of early treatment is to give our patients the best smiles possible as well as potentially preventing extractions of permanent teeth and in some cases even jaw surgery.

Nutrition Makeover

 by Glenda Feilen

Nature has the secret to the right combination of nutrients. Only nature can make food. Really! If all the apples and all the apple seeds on the earth were suddenly gone, would we ever have another apple again. Afraid not! Only nature can make food and the secret is the SEED. The little seed has the ability to go into the rock and dirt and change it into an edible form. We are literally made of the dust of the earth. It is the nutrients, the minerals in the rock and dirt that are in our bodies. It is the same iron, potassium, sodium, zinc, carbon, etc. that are in the dirt, that are in our bodies. If that is so, why then, don’t we just take a little rock and dirt, put it on our plates, and have as nice little dinner? Because in that form, our bodies would not know what to do with those nutrients. It is the little seed, that has the ability to go into the rock and dirt, and depending on the kind of seed, pull from that rock and dirt, exactly the right amount of every single vitamin, mineral, and nutrient - and literally change the rock and dirt into a new form, a whole food. Wow. Now, that is a miracle!

VITAMINS AND MINERAL SUPPLEMENTS CAN BE CAN DANGEROUS

There are many examples of this (from vitamin A to calcium to protein) but for this example, let’s take iron. Iron is the number one killer of children under six in many poison centers. This iron is the usually found in the kitchen cupboard in the form of a kiddie multivitamin. Too much iron taken in this form of multi-vitamins can create a poisonous situation that is so dangerous children die before it can be eliminated from their system. Too much iron can also be dangerous for adults. Even when an adult reaches for an over-the-counter iron supplement, it can be a big problem because excess iron releases free radicals into the system, can cause constipation and create toxicity. When you eat food iron, it is in minute amounts and in proper balance with other nutrients. When you become your own chemist, you can overdose! Eat food like nature grows them and LET NATURE BE YOUR CHEMIST!

WHEN THE BODY HAS A PROBLEM

When the body has a problem, it usually speaks to us and we have a symptom. Let’s take a headache, for example. It is an indication that the body is out of balance. It is my personal experience that most headaches have nothing to do with the head but are caused often by a blood sugar imbalance, a digestive/elimination system which is not working well, or a hormone imbalance.

It is still there, and we hope the person would eat foods that allow the body to balance and correct the cause behind the symptom. The body is a miracle. The body has the ability to put it self in balance, to correct its own problems and regenerate when given whole foods. Nature made your body. Nature made the foods to nourish your body.

Spontaneous Giving

You don’t have to fly to Africa with a cargo load of medical supplies to help the very poorest of the poor. People are in dire circumstances right here where you live. Homeless individuals are no longer just hairy unkept men. They are men, women, children and teenagers living outdoors on their own. They stand at the entrance to the freeway, sleep in public parks, or under bridges and on bus benches. They live in their cars and spruce up in public restrooms. Some homeless are whole families who only a couple months ago had jobs and a house to live in. Read more
