Some researchers have "...found indirect evidence that the body's response to cold, which consists
of shivering and hormonal actions, plays a major role in energy
expenditure. Regulation of body temperature, they say, is associated
with weight."(Fiona Johnson, University College, London, 2011) Also, shivering burns about 400 calories an hour! You may have heard the oft repeated advice to drink ice cold water since it takes more energy and burns more fat than drinking lukewarm water, but supposedly even lowering the temperature in your home a few degrees will help with weight loss. Of course, where I live, all I have to do is go to the local grocery store where I swear they keep the temperature deliberately below 55 degrees Fahrenheit.
As you get older, your hands are one of the parts of your body that shows aging, and there hasn't been a lot that you can do about it. One help though is to avoid very dark polishes or brown polishes which seem to accentuate wrinkles and make your skin look older.
Everywhere you will read that the hottest new lipstick color for Spring is coral. But if you have less that white teeth, beware. Coral is a color that will cause your teeth to look dingy - as will most red lipsticks that have a lot of orange in them. Instead, go for a coral with a lot of pink in it rather than orange - or opt out of coral totally.
