Food Fashion: Lets All Be Fruity

Summer is so close I can almost feel the warmth of the sun and taste the ice-cream. It is that time of year for the big search. All ladies know what I am talking about. It can be painful, exhausting and sometimes frustrating.

Thats right I am talking about the search for the one. That perfect, one of a kind bathing suit for you to strut your stuff, as you saunter down a beach full of scantly clad people.

This year I decided I wanted something fun, even quirky. I hit the jackpot with tuttie fruity, from one pieces to those bust your junk bikinis.

My favourite way to incorporate fruit into your wardrobe is through bathing suits. They make you look yummy and cute while lounging in the sand.

A new fruit that I have noticed emerging in prints for teeny weeny bikinis is apples, red and green. They are enough to make you was to buy one a day to keep the doctor away.

I believe to contrary belief that one-peice bathing suits are actually harder to wear and rock it. Thus I was quite excited to find this little number.

This summer I plan on slipping into my little fruity number and waltzing to the beach to ripen.

TTFN,

Eat Your Way To a Healthy Tan

By, Sharan Garcha

Who would've thought that indulging in food could actually give you a tan without stepping foot in the tanning salon or laying in the sun. The best ways improve your looks comes from a source that is not only more economical than most of the beauty aids out there, but it is also good for you: fruits and vegetables. Eating lots of fruits and vegetables can give you the same golden glow without the risk of skin cancer! Consuming five serving of green or orange produce a day will provide you with a tan in just a month, thanks to nutrients called carotenoids.

Researchers have found that a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables, especially ones high in carotenoids (carrots, tomatoes) can give your skin a healthier glow than even time spent in sun getting bronzed.

Carotenoids are the substances that give fruits and vegetables their bright and golden skin color. They are in fact antioxidants that are thought to help clear the body of free radicals (molecules created by oxidative stress). Free radicals are believed to play role in the formation of cancer cells. Carotenoids are also believed to help boost our immune and reproductive systems.

So the next time you want to lay out in the sun and work on your tan, consider the healthy eating option, instead. Your body just may thank you in the long run!
