Recently I started on a gluten free diet. Since then my attitude has changed to a more positive state, and my skin is clearing up!
The side affects of having gluten in your diet:

-Abdominal Bloating
-Abnormal Stools
-Calcium Metabolism Disturbance
-Constipation
-Flatulence
-Intestinal Malabsorption
-Muscle Wasting
-Poor Appetite or Irritability
-Impaired Growth
-Iron-Deficiency Anemia
-Offensive Stools and Subtle Cramps
-Poor Muscle Tone (Hypotonia)
-Recurrent Oral Ulcers

As you can see, it’s not the best thing for you. But being on a gluten free diet is much more expensive then eating normally. But you gain so many health benefits! It’s so easy to be gluten free! You can still have baked goods, and enjoy food just as much before. In my diet I eat; Meat, Vegetables, fruit, nuts, salads, and cheese. It doesn’t sound like a lot, but there are so many options available.
Here are just a few benefits of being gluten free:
Weight loss
Increased energy
Better sleep
Clearer complexion
Better mood
Reduced joint pain
Improved cholesterol levels
Improved digestive health

I recommend at least trying it for a week. Who knows, you might love it!

5 Awesome Hair Tips You Must Try

June 28, 2012 Leave a Comment

1) Play hot-and-cold as you dry. When using a round brush to dry your hair in sections, start from the roots and dry all the way to the ends, letting the brush linger at the tips of your strands. Let your hair cool off like this on its own for five seconds, then repeat on another section. Alternating between heat and cool-down time helps set your style, and your blowout will have more body. – Cosmopolitan

2) Making Your Highlights Stand Out! If you want your highlights to show up more, poor one cup of V8 juice and let it soak up for about 5 minutes. Then rinse it out. – Seventeen

3) Avocado Hair Mask
Combine two egg whites with half of a mashed-up avocado; leave it in hair for 15 minutes, then wash and condition. It’s a fast and inexpensive natural remedy that leaves hair super-smooth. – InStyle

4) Coconut Hair Smoothie
“Once a week, apply a cocoa butter treatment mask, let it sit for a half hour, then rinse it out with coconut water,” says pro Marco Antonio De Biaggi of São Paulo. “The combination leaves hair incredibly soft and moisturized—it’s a trick of many Brazilian women.”- InStyle

5) Want Your Hair To Be Longer?
Adopt a healthy lifestyle that includes eating plenty of fruits, vegetables and lean meats. Your hair needs to be nourished from within to grow well so following an unhealthy diet will result in hair that doesn’t grow well and lacks luster. – hairgrowth-tips

Tips To Prevent Acne!

1. Wash Your Face Morning and Night
 Washing your face is very important. By washing morning and night you clean out your pores. Dirt, sweat and oil get clogged inside your pores. By washing your face morning and night you can get rid of these yucky things.

2. Stop Touching Your Face!
 Your hands have bacteria, dirt and oil on them. By touching your face it will just cause more acne!

3. Eat Healthy!
Friend foods and Sugery desserts can increase your chances of acne breakouts. Try to eat more vegetables and fruits! Also staying away from soda is another way to prevent breakouts.

4. Get Enough Sleep.
Sometimes you might break out only because you’re not getting enough sleep. Try to get at least 8 hours of sleep every night. This will improve your skin.

5. Shower Daily
By showering daily you keep your skin fresh and soft. This will also clean out your pores and help back acne. Washing your hair daily will keep the oil away, which will also help back acne.

One last thing, moisturize! This will always help. Whenever my face is starting to break out I use a lot of face moisturizer and it helps. Follow these tips and you should have amazing skin:)

Colorful New Pixar Movie BRAVE

June 26, 2012 Leave a Comment

Pixar’s newest film is about a princess who doesn’t want her life planned out for her. Merida wants to create her own fate. Merida wants to plan her OWN life. Sadly, that is not an option in her kingdom. She ends up making some bad choices while trying to achieve freedom, but we never learn unless we make mistakes right? In the movie Merida is just outraged by tradition. She rides off into the mysterious woods hoping for some inspiration. She comes across an old witch. This witch gives her a spell that turns the whole movie around. It’s an unexpected twist that will blow your mind. BRAVE kept me entertained with it’s vibrant colors and scenery the entire time. The fantastic setting brings you into a new world. There wasn’t a moment where I just wanted to take my phone out and tweet. What you learn from the movie is that anything can happen if you make it happen. You can’t wait for everything to play out, if you want something you have to work for it. It’s not going to be handed to you. Don’t give up, and dream the impossible. The road to success is bumpy, you just have to keep pushing. Anything is possible when you put your mind to it. BRAVE teaches you some great lessons. Even grown men seem to enjoy this magical film. I recommend you see it. If you liked any other Pixar movie, I’m positive you will like BRAVE. It’s defiantly worth the money.

MARK NAGLAZAS says “Brave might well describe Pixar itself, which continues to break new ground even when telling the most traditional of tales.”

Robert Burleson says “The film didn’t let me down. It was fun and beautifully shot, but it didn’t quite meet the high standards I have placed upon Pixar.”

Joe Neumaier says “If anyone knows how to take a world you think you know and flip it around, it’s Pixar. From a toy’s eye view of life to a bug’s leafy home to a rat’s kitchen confidential, the company that reinvented animated filmmaking can spin a tale on its head and find the angles.”

Project Stay Strong Lauren By @theheartofjdb

About Lauren:

Lauren a.k.a @omaharauhlin is probably one of the strongest girls I know. She has gone through so much. We met last year, and now we are  best friends. She came up on my timeline, a couple of tweets were exchanged, then before I could say Justin Drew Bieber; we became best friends.With friendship, came exchanging numbers, which led to exchanging stories. Lauren told me how she cuts, and has a eating disorder, and thinks she’s never going to please anyone because she is living in her sisters’ shadow. Lauren tells me she has to cut to make her troubles go away. This makes me cry. This doesn’t solve any problems this makes new ones. Lauren say’s she cuts and doesn’t keep food down because she feels she inst “pretty: enough or “skinny” enough when she is perfectly perfect and flawless! She tells she’s going to stop but she never does. This is starting to become an issue. On 6/12/12 she tried to commit suicide. I don’t believe this was the first time. I was so close to loosing her. This cannot happen again. What if next time we’re too late? We were talking, and she preached, she will stop all this nonsense (cutting & throwing up forced) when Justin tells her too. I made her a promise I’m going to do whatever it takes to make this come true, yet she still doesn’t believe me (and I don’t break my promises….EVER!) Little does she know this is whats she’s going to get!

 

 

 

Project “STAY STRONG LAUREN”:

 

 

For this project I’m going to need all the help I can get! I need to some how get this to Justin or any of the crew. But i’m determined to do whatever it takes to make this happen. Even if I have to work day and night!  Right now im trying to spread the word around and get this story out there in a more unique way than a regular twitlonger or twittion.  But as you can imagine, it is kind of hard to do it all by myself. Lauren lives in Omaha, so Justin doesn’t go there for Believe Tour, unfortunately, but we can work hard enough and make this happen I know it! If you have any ideas or just want to help, please contact me at @theheartofjdb on twitter or projectstaystronglauren@gmail.com . We cannot loose another belieber sister do to suicide! Come together, and let’s really make a difference. Beliebers help Beliebers. LETS MAKE THIS REALITY BEFORE ITS TOO LATE!

When you go to your taping, make sure you get there at least two hours early, cause if someone is in line in front of you, they might give away your ticket. Make sure you dress appropriately for the show. Also make sure to bring something to get auto graphs:) Hope you have fun!
