Sip a smoothie Next time you're craving a sumptuous treat, why not indulge in something that's as good for you as it is delicious? While making a smoothie at home can guarantee that it contains nothing but healthy ingredients, some retail establishments, like Jamba Juice, also serve up real fruit drinks. But, as David Zinczenko, "Men's Health" editor and author of the very popular (and fun/shocking to read) "Eat This, Not That!" books points out, "Jamba Juice makes plenty of real-deal smoothies, but their menu is sullied with more than a few faux-fruit blends." The trick, as Zinczenko says, is to "Just make sure you choose the right one." When it comes to tasting great and offering up the best beauty-boosting ingredients, any of the "all fruit" options, which boast "just fruit and juice" and fewer than 250 calories in a 16 oz. cup -- are a good bet. In particular, the "Five Fruit Frenzy" and "Pomegranate Paradise" pack a good antioxidant punch that (among other benefits) is great for helping your skin fight free radicals. And, at just $3.85, it's healthy for your wallet too.

I wonder if threading works. It seems interesting.

I liked the Aussie 3 minute miracle as a daily conditioner, but it wasn't conditioning enough for me to use it as a deep conditioner.

I hear threading hurts more than waxing but have been thinking of trying it. I do waxing every couple of weeks for my brows. I can deal with the waxing- it's tweezing that I hate.
