If you are a big fan of the Ghost Whisperer star Jennifer Love Hewitt or you simply adore her music and want to look like her, here are some tips on how you can look like Jennifer Love Hewitt in four easy steps!

1. Dress like Jennifer Love Hewitt

If you want to look like Jennifer Love Hewitt, you can copy her fashion style. Hewitt loves to highlight her full breast and nice curves. You would often see her in dresses with a heart shape neckline or a v-neck. She is also fond of wearing low necks and deep necks. Empire dresses, halter tops and spaghetti strap blouses should be in your closet too. Hewitt is also fond of Victorian inspired vintage blouses with some lace and ruffles.

2. The Jennifer Love Hewitt Hairstyle

Celebrities can sport any hairstyle imaginable. If you want to look like Hewitt, there are two ways to go- you can wear your hair wavy/ curly or sport a short bob. In many awarding ceremonies, Hewitt would always go for the casual wavy look. She has that flirty and girlish wavy hair that makes her look young even at 30. At one time, she was also seen in short dark bob with straight bangs.

3. Get that Jennifer Love Hewitt Body

This may seem impossible, but if you really want to look like Jennifer Love Hewitt, then you should have those same curves and same body size! But if you can’t go for a size 2, then you should at least give attention to your chest area and do some buttocks to be at par with the great assets of Jennifer Love Hewitt.

4. Think like Jennifer Love Hewitt

If you want to look like Jennifer Love Hewitt- it’s all in the mind! Jennifer is a positive thinker. Before she sleeps, she would tell herself she is beautiful. In the morning when she wakes up, she would remind herself of 5 things that she likes about herself. That should be the same line of thinking that you have if you want to boost some extra confidence and gain that Jennifer Love Hewitt star quality.

Whether they are fiery diamonds, cultured pearls, natural stones or precious metals, drop earrings are in the public eye on the famous as well as on the unknown. The effect of the drop earring, whether short, long or chandelier, is to lengthen the neck and to brighten the eyes.

Many actresses present at the 61st Emmy awards chose diamond drop earrings as part of their jewelry montage. Pieces by designers such as Neil Lane, Fred Leighton, and Chopard were worn by Christina Hendricks, Elizabeth Moss and Glenn Close.  Drop earrings are also very attractive in semi precious stones such as turquoise and tiger’s eye. Sterling silver is very becoming as a drop earring setting.

A drop earring may have a solid base or open work on the ear and just a single stunning drop, like a cultured pearl. It also could be a string of pearls dropping one by one from a golden chain. Larger carved stones suspended from the ear are very catchy drop earrings. An elegant and sparkling drop earring for a formal occasion or a special gala could easily be the chandelier style earrings with many light catching stones in an ever broadening pattern.

Wear drop earrings along with a necklace, bracelets, rings and other jewelry pieces. You will glow and sparkle like the elements of the jewelry you are wearing.

GIVEAWAY CLOSED!

If you follow this blog, you’ll know that I am a strong believer that yoga has many benefits. So, when I was offered to run a giveaway on my site for Hyp-Yoga’s 6-Week Weight Loss DVD Program, I jumped at the chance. However, I must disclose here that I have personally not tried out this DVD.

Here’s an excerpt of what  Hyp-Yoga is all about:

Founded by three women from three different generations, all of whom are certified hypnotherapists and yoga instructors, Hyp-Yoga is designed to help individuals improve their lives, no matter what their fitness or yoga experience. Hyp-Yoga sessions feature expansive full-body poses and deep breathwork, opening up the body and calming the mind, making the gentle hypnosis that follows incredibly effective. When practitioners learn how to open up their subconscious mind to helpful and beneficial suggestions, there is unlimited potential for positive improvement and behavioral changes.

Hyp-Yoga is the next generation of mind-body wellness programs, and combines the proven benefits of yoga and hypnosis to help align the mind with the body and its behaviors. Yoga, which literally means union, brings together and opens up the body and mind. Hypnosis, a natural state of heightened awareness, taps into this relaxed state and uses 100% of the mind, as opposed to the 10% regularly used on a daily basis, to create habits, positive affirmations and behavioral change.

BUY IT : The 6-Week Weight Loss DVD Program ($39.99) is based on the idea that if you change your mind, you can change your body. While most diets and exercise programs rely solely on willpower, which eventually fades as you become exhausted, Hyp-Yoga taps into the power of the subconscious mind and helps participants connect to actual behaviors. It  includes guided yoga sessions followed by hypnosis, as well as tips and tricks to help change behaviors, a nutrition guide, and a yoga poses poster.

WIN IT : Thanks to Hyp-Yoga, who has kindly sponsored two copies of the above DVD, I will be giving them away to two lucky readers. Here’s what you need to do:

What is acne?

Acne or acne vulgaris is one type of skin disease that often targets the facial area but can also break out on the neck, back and shoulders. Acne develops when sebaceous glands and hair follicle lining are overworked. This causes the follicle to be clogged. If this happens, cells and sebum can accumulate and form a “plug”. When a plug is closed it forms a whitehead. On the other hand, blackhead forms when the plug is open.

Blackheads and white heads can eventually lead to acne.

What causes acne?

Acne can be caused by a lot of things. It often occurs during adolescent stage. It can be hereditary, especially with the case of severe acne. It can also be caused by poor hygiene and imbalanced or improper diet. There are also environmental factors that can cause acne such as dirt and pollution.

Acne treatments

There are many acne treatment products that you can buy over the counter. These include non-prescription treatments like products with sulphur, benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid and resorcinol.

You can also consult with your dermatologist if you have severe acne. Your doctor can prescribe you topical treatments like retinoid or give your antibiotics. You can also take oral medicine and hormonal medications.

How to prevent acne

A good hygiene can help you prevent acne. Make it a point to wash and clean your face before your sleep and when you wake up in the morning. Wash your face after being exposed to dirt and pollution. You can also use anti-acne products that are readily available in the market.

She is a talented actress, a sex symbol and winner of some of the most prestigious awards for acting. Love her or hate her (really?) but you have to admit that Jessica Alba sure knows how to look amazingly stylish and sophisticated at all times. So much so that she is one of the most idolized female celebrities in the world. So if you want to get her trademark look and get with it, here are a few valuable tips!

• Everyday look: Jessica goes for fresh and natural make up for everyday wear. The feel is light and airy – very attractive.
• Cleanse and moisturize facial skin and add a fine, thin layer of fresh foundation with your fingertips. Rub it outwards, away from the centre of the face and towards the hairline.
• Lightly dab concealer over visible spots, but be very sheer with the application and follow up by rubbing the concealer in with the rest of the face colour. Blend in well. This is the key.
• Use a cream bronzer on a stiff brush to enhance the fresh glow on the face. Blend in for a polished look.
• Apply translucent powder in a sheer puff and blow away any extra bit.
• A sheer pink blush on the cheeks and a neutral cream eye shadow towards the centre of the lids completes the skin routine.
• Nude lip colours add to the natural touch.
• A good coat of mascara completes the look! Do not curl lashes though.

Mirroring a typical WHAT NOT TO WEAR episode, Stacy and Clinton will visit the chosen victim’s hometown and interview her loved ones. But with an ambush on a much grander scale and a makeover like no other, the overall transformation for this victim will be the most dramatic one viewers have ever seen on the show. WHAT NOT TO WEAR will mark this very special milestone in January 2010.

TLC is still accepting nominations. If you (or someone close) seriously needs some fashion advice and help, you can get more details about the contest here. Please note that September 25th is the closing date.

So you are a foodie looking to get into a more acceptable shape than ‘round’? Think dieting is your stumbling block on the way to weight loss? Hate the thought of depriving yourself of your favourite foods? Well then, you better keep reading, because we are going to tell you just how you can lose weight and still enjoy all your favourite foods!

• EXERCISE. Not only does exercise burn up stored fat and calories, it also revs up your metabolism so that the body burns fat at a faster rate throughout the day. Go for aerobics and cardiovascular exercises like swimming, running, jogging, cycling and power walking for fat loss.
• Strength training ensures that you tone your muscles, which again revs up metabolism and makes your body burn calories even at rest.
• Eat all of your favourite foods, but just reduce the amount that you eat. Use smaller spoons and plates.
• Share your favourite treats with friends for a win win situation: you make others happy, you get to eat your favourite snack, and you eat less of it without realizing it.
• Do not eat while watching TV, reading or simultaneously with any other activity. People do not realize what and how much they are shoving into their mouths when their minds are busy elsewhere. If you concentrate on the food, you will feel fuller faster without eating too much.
• Chew more and eat slowly. You will feel fuller with smaller portions.
