Free Kindle 2 Contest
I just got a second Kindle 2 as a gift from a friend who didn’t know I already had one. Instead of sending it back to Amazon I want to create a contest for my friends here at the blog and twitter.
I always see those contests on different blogs I read and they seem to have great success.
So let’s consider this the first post about how to win a free Kindle 2 where the winner will receive an Amazon gift card for the price of a brand new Kindle 2, she/he will only need to pay for S&H, remember that the new Kindle 2 only ships to the U.S., but this doesn’t mean that if you are out of the states you can’t participate, you can and you must! Just that if you are the winner you will have to spend the money on something else that ships to your country.
My main idea about the contest is for bloggers to go wild and write a post about how this Kindle 2 would improve their lives, their kid’s lives or something like that.
Since this would be the first contest here on my blog, I want you to leave a comment with suggestions, the best suggestions will be used for the contest and the person who suggested it will get the same visibility this blog gets during the contest.
So go ahead and send you comments right away!

CigArest, Julie And the Journey of an Addict
Smoking is a terrible habit; it could be as addicting as some of the heaviest illegal drugs, recently I helped a client of mine to quit; girl, what a journey!
Nicotine withdrawal is something I had never seen before as I saw it in this lady, she started to sweat literally gallons, she complained about her dry mouth, stomach ache, headache, and a pretty nasty sense of humor. Honestly I don’t think it would have been possible without help from CigArest.
I am going to write here the 5 most important things we did on her first day smoke free:
1 – We added 30 minutes of exercise to her daily routine, walking is a fantastic way to distract the mind during the psychological cravings. She wouldn’t walk the whole 30 minutes at once so we split them in 6 walks of about 5 minutes or so. When she got the cravings we would go for a walk around the block or just to the park which is about 2 blocks from her place.
2 – She started to drink one gallon of water per day, starting her first day, she would drink a full glass of water every time she felt the craving, water is fantastic for the body and many of us are semi dehydrated without even know it, so when your body is using all his energies to get rid of nicotine a good amount of water is always recommendable.
3 – Here is where we started something practical, she started a quit journal, I really recommend every one thinking about quitting to start a quit journal, on the first page you can write a list of reasons why you want to quit, I also recommend that you make a list of people you love and explain to them why you really smoke. This list can be very long if it has to, but it really works, I had my client writing to her 7 years old daughter about why she smoked, she started to cry… she realized finally that she was an addicted, and that my friends is half the way! To even realize that a smoker is an addict deserves a commemoration.
4 – We changed her diet and got her a whole bunch of healthy snacks; anxiety can be really rough when you are quitting and when anxiety comes you want to eat everything, literally everything, so we filled her fridge with lots of healthy treats like mini carrots, lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, no coffee, no chocolate, etc.
5 – Finally we called a physical therapist for a 2-hour full body massage; the massage helps the body to release toxins which is perfect for nicotine elimination, after the massage a nice steam room, bath and a nice power nap.
This was her first day and while it may seem really a nice day to you, she suffered a lot, it was really sad to see such a beautiful successful woman to realize that after 38 years of her life, two beautiful children and a marvelous husband, she was nothing but an addict…
What about you?
Have you ever thought about yourself as an addict because you have that cylinder between your fingers?

Recommended Non Invasive Face Lift
Earlier this week I got a question regarding a face lift to remove wrinkles from one of my top clients; this particular client is a 33 years old very successful business woman, as we all know, it is normal for an active woman of this age to start developing several expression marks, mainly around the eyes and forehead.
For any other client, I would usually recommend Botox injections or, in more severe cases, a Forehead Lift (surgical procedure), but in this case it was impossible because she couldn’t stop working for almost a week as required on the post operatory instructions.
So, I started to consider other alternatives, she wanted something effective, easy to use and that offered immediate results. After going through several “miraculous” over priced products, I discovered one that hit the nail on the head, but before I tell which one is it, I want to explain why this is the right product for her.
The client requests:
1- She couldn’t stop her daily routine; she attends several board meetings at work.
2- She wanted a product that also kept her skin healthy and radiant.
3- She didn’t want to spend a whole lot of money; this is perfectly understandable due to the present economic situation.
4- She wanted a tested product; preferably created by a Specialist.
The product benefits:
1- Lipopeptides, which are faster than Vitamin C and are stronger than Retinol without causing the irritating effects on the skin.
2- Acai extract, which has been recognized by top level doctors as a super food for anti-aging because it contains amino-acids and minerals.
3- Talking about a bargain! The regular price for this product is $79.95, but at the time of ordering online the company offered a free trial, however they only stock a limited daily supply of these.
4- The product is designed by Aesthetic Skin Care Specialist Dr. Steven Jepson MD, who was featured recently on ABC News.
As you can see I was able to match all her requests with the product benefits, needless to say she is extremely happy with the product and the results. (As I like to say, another happy costumer)
If you think about it, my client’s requests weren’t so unreal after all.
- Who can stop working for almost a week? Definitely not me.
- Who doesn’t want extra benefits when taking care of the skin? If it’s extra count me in!
- Who wants to spend a bunch of money on something nowadays without even trying it? Well, unfortunately there are people who do, I am not one of them.
- Finally, would you trust your skin to someone who doesn’t understand it, or to an Aesthetic Skin Care Specialist? No answer needed for this one…
Now, let me introduce you to Lift SP, as they say “look 20 years younger in seconds!”

How to Get Rid of Unwanted Body Hair
One of the main problems my clients face is the growing of unwanted hair on their body; there are many reasons for a woman to start seeing this hair, the most common cause I see is the use of sex hormones like estrogen and progesterone.
I always try to recommend my clients with safe and easy to use solutions, and hair removal is not an exception, nowadays there are many products, lotions, creams, etc. to help us ladies on the process of removing that unwanted body hair, but the point I always try to make is: don’t get a regular hair remover, get a hair inhibitor.
You heard me right; the way to go is to start using a hair inhibitor, this is not just another hair removal, this kind of product is very special because not only removes your hair right away, but its composition inhibits unwanted hair from growing ever again.
So which one is the best? Where can I buy it? Is it expensive?
The most important thing my clients want is look amazing, but it doesn’t need to be expensive to actually work! When we refer to hair inhibitor there is only one cream I trust and recommend, its name is Revitol.
Revitol is one of those golden nuggets you can’t easily find, its formula is so skin friendly that it even has Aloe Vera to keep your skin healthy and soft. It is so safe that you can use it to remove unwanted facial hair or hair from your back, armpits, knees and more.
With Revitol you can experience the freedom of never have to shave or wax again, simply apply it on the skin and leave it for approximately 12 minutes, after that your unwanted hair will be gone for good!
