Even though Uma has been voted one of the sexiest Women alive, she could find herself on the scrap heap at any time.<br> We say, getting old for Women is much more brutal than getting old for Men, so Ladies, we have to keep working on putting this wrong right but in the meantime here are some Hollywood for less gems, for turning back the clock.<br> Sharpen your memory and your mind with anti-aging brain teasers.<br> Avoid scoop necklines which will accentuate any saggy bits. Wear a v-neck which will direct any peering eyes upwards, into yours.<br> Never use soap on your face, instead gently scrub away dead skin cells with sea salt or sugar.<br> Drink plenty of water for young healthy skin.<br> Brown age spots, caused by to much sun exposure, are always a tell tale sign of aging. We recommend you mix Castor oil and crushed grape seeds, apply twice daily, to exfoliating the hands and after a month, you will see the spots disappear before your eyes.<br> And finally, we can all smell younger, apparently. Tests have shown perfumes that contain pink grapefruit, appeared to the opposite sex, six years young than their actual age. Rub yourself all over, after a hot bath with the inside of a pink grapefruit, filled with cheap, unscented thick body cream. You will smell fabulous and keep them all guessing. </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://stylishchic.blog.co.uk/2008/11/11/can-old-ever-be-sexy-5019713/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>tag:stylishchic.blog.co.uk,2008-11-09:/2008/11/09/sharon-stone-shoestring-secrets-5009795/Stylishchick2008-11-09T22:01:28+01:002008-11-09T22:01:28+01:00 <p>Looking this fabulous at 50 is easy when you are a Hollywood film star but we have to hand it to Sharon Stone, who we have seen without her slap and she looks just as good.<br> How does she do it?<br> Sharon, like most in Hollywood, follows the usual suspects, drinking lots of water, no alcohol, eating fresh fruit and vegetables, exercising, no caffeine, dairy or smoking. We think you will agree the no pain, no gain theory has worked for her, she always looks so healthy.<br> Her top tip to looking good is drinking Sunrinder Calli Green Tea.<br> While many of the undesirable elements we take into our body are quickly eliminated, others are not. Combined with a healthy eating and a regular exercise program, the unique herbal extracts in Calli assist in the body's natural cleansing processes.<br> Calli Tea Ingredients- Camellia Leaf, Perilla Leaf, Mori Bark Extract, Alisma Root Extract, and Imperate Root.<br> You can get this tea on line, in some good herbal shops and it is not expensive but if you want a really cheap daily detox and internal body cleanse, we suggest any mint green tea from your local supermarket. </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://stylishchic.blog.co.uk/2008/11/09/sharon-stone-shoestring-secrets-5009795/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>tag:stylishchic.blog.co.uk,2008-11-09:/2008/11/09/christmas-tree-for-free-5009785/Stylishchick2008-11-09T21:58:47+01:002008-11-09T21:58:47+01:00 <p>Hollywood Glamour is all about a beautiful and unique lifestyle that looks like it cost an arm and a leg. So we suggest whenever you are trying to achieve the impossible, always think outside the box.<br> A Hollywood tree for free, is our unique, stylish and simple way to have a taste of festive flavour with what is from the earth instead of costing the earth.<br> Go for a long walk in the countryside and take in the vista, collecting as many pine-cones, nuts, red Berry's, twigs and large Autumn leaves you can find along the way.<br> Spray paint the foliage Gold and Silver then leave outside to dry. Next you will need something shiny, red and gold to lay on the floor and we suggest an Indian Sari, always easy to pick up in the local charity shop, for next to nothing.<br> Place the sari on the floor where you want the tree sculpture to stand, then take the silver and gold twigs you made earlier, to create a pile, almost like a bonfire, standing as high as you would like. Now take you're old Christmas lights and just like you would normally with a tree, drape them around the sculpture and switch on. Take the rest of the painted nuts, cones etc to scatter them on to the Sari and all over you're wrapped gifts. Not only will you absolutely love it, we guarantee everyone who comes into the room will be green with envy.<br> If you have any old decorations left over from last year, add them to the sculpture with hand made chocolates displayed in a dish close by. Check out the credit crunch hand made chocolate recipe below.<br> 6oz dark or semi sweet chocolate½ teaspoon cinnamon1 ½ teaspoons butter½ cup sweetened condensed milk½ teaspoon vanilla.<br> Melt chocolate, butter and cinnamon in a double boiler (or microwave), then add sweetened condensed milk and vanilla. Stir all ingredients until they are thoroughly blended. Pour the mixture into a shallow bowl and chill (covered) for 2 hours or more. Form into small balls (about walnut size) and roll in colored sugar or sprinkles. Chill until hard.

Some good ideas are biscuits, home-made dips, muffins, cakes and fruit.</p> <p>A frozen turkey is always cheaper but remember to thaw it out the day before and get all your vegetables from your local market, they are much cheaper. A top tip is to go at the end of the day when everything is at least half price and sometimes totally free.<br> Remember to look around to get the best deals, allowing time to plan and search for the bargains will really help to prepare a traditional Christmas lunch without breaking the budget.</p> <p>Make your own table centrepiece with nuts, edible cherries and a candle so that nothing goes to waste. Excite all the dinner guests around the table by placing name tags to where everyone is to sit, this will save any fighting between the kids when it is time to eat. The tags can be made by you, use a little glitter to pretty them up so that the guests can keep them as a memento. </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://stylishchic.blog.co.uk/2008/11/06/credit-crunch-christmas-munch-4994877/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>tag:stylishchic.blog.co.uk,2008-11-04:/2008/11/04/hollywood-for-less-tips-on-plump-lips-4983141/Stylishchick2008-11-04T16:19:33+01:002008-11-04T16:19:33+01:00 <p>We all want that Angelina Jolie look without having to spend a fortune on getting it, so here is our Hollywood Look For Less top tips on getting fuller lips.<br> First take your toothbrush and gently rub it across your lips to exfoliate.

How do you put on the Ritz and get the glitz?<br> During arrivals at the 80th Annual Academy Awards, glamour was all over the tented red carpet and stormy skies.

Pam Anderson has given car booting a new lease of life with her Malibu Garage sales and it has become a rather hip trend to turn trash into cash in LA LA Land. So our top tip for making some extra cash when things are tight, is to clear out some clutter and set up your own trendy hip garage sale, just like Pammie.<br> In Bel-Air, the really posh part of LA, they have taken Garage sales to a whole new height, calling them Estate Sales. Garage sales in LA are just not the same as they are any where else on the planet. The billionaire Craig McCaw once held a “backyard clearout” that included the sale of his private island, a 300ft yacht and several executive jets, obviously needed some petty cash.<br> Turning your garage into an Aladdin's cave for curious clutter collectors could prove to be very lucrative, if done with a Hollywood spin, so pick a date, make up some posters, play some cool tunes, layout your trash then wait for the punters to part with their cash.</p> <p> <small> <a href="http://stylishchic.blog.co.uk/2008/10/31/the-hollywood-look-for-less-our-new-blog-4962583/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>tag:stylishchic.blog.co.uk,2008-10-29:/2008/10/29/the-hollywood-look-for-less-4949418/Stylishchick2008-10-29T11:21:18+01:002008-10-29T11:21:18+01:00 <p>Check out our new credit crunch blog below where we are giving fabulous HOT Hollywood top tips on how to look and feel fantastic without money. </p> <p><a href="http://thehollywoodlookforless.blogspot.com/">http://thehollywoodlookforless.blogspot.com/</a></p> <p>We are looking at everything from credit crunch christmas crackers to fashion for free. </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://stylishchic.blog.co.uk/2008/10/29/the-hollywood-look-for-less-4949418/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>
