Get to LIFTING!!! Biblical Beauty Secret - Week 5

LIFTING OUR OWN BODY WEIGHT 

IS 

THE BEST OVERALL EXERCISE EVER!

Hi Biblical Beauties,

If there is one thing a Biblical Beauty needs to be, it's FIT!  We're here to live long and strong.  We've got lives to live abundantly and to impact others extraordinarily.  We are obligated to be role models of health and vitality if we ascribe to the Biblical Beauty lifestyle.

We have NO EXCUSES.  There is no need for expensive gyms, classes, trainers, etc.  All we need to establish a Biblical Beauty Fitness Mindset is OURSELVES and personal discipline.

A Biblical Beauty is disciplined.  She knows that time is to be appropriated wisely and must include a dedicated period to the development of MIND, BODY and SPIRIT.  This Biblical Beauty Secret emphasizes the BODY.  We've got to stay fit for the duration of our lives and we need to start our disciplined routine sooner than later.

One of the easiest ways to stay fit is by LIFTING OUR OWN BODY WEIGHT when we exercise.

WHY?

Body weight exercise helps:

LOSE WEIGHT
INCREASE FITNESS LEVEL

KALE!!!! Biblical Beauty Secret Week 4

KALE!!!!  SUPERFOOD

Lean, Green and Packed with Nutrients.

Recently, while performing in the Off-Off Broadway show, “Songs From The Harlem River,” I met a beautiful actress named VINIE BURROWS who came out to see us.

 

Vinie won’t be upset when I tell you how old she is because she proudly proclaims it.  She is 88 years young.  I almost hit the floor when she told me.  What???

She’s elegant, vital, slim and healthy.  Her makeup was impeccable on skin which was dewy.  Dewy at 88.  Moreover, she still performs regularly, lives alone in Manhattan, walks everywhere and runs all of her own errands and folks in New York City know that running errands in the city is tantamount to a race with hurdles.  http://www.vinieburrows.com

I asked her what was her secret and she said simply in addition to the constant physical activity, she drinks a cup of KALE TEA every day.

Now I know KALE has many benefits, such as;

• Brain Food (Manganese)
• Protects Against Heart Disease (Antioxidants; Magnesium and Potassium)
• Anti-Cancer Benefits (Vitamin A, C)
• Super High in Vitamin K1 (Bone health, Blood Sugar Level Regulation)
• IRON, IRON and More IRON
• High in Potassium (only Avocados and Bananas are higher)
• Aids in WEIGHT LOSS
• Anti-Inflammatory
• Low in Calories

 Making Kale Tea at Home

2 to 3 pieces of kale leaves
¾ cup water

Instruction:

Tear the kale leaves into small pieces.  Add ¾ cup of boiling water.  Let it steep for several minutes.  Stir the mixture several times before drinking.  Sweeten the mixture by adding organic honey.

Drink a small cup EVERY DAY. 

A LITTLE EXTRA BEAUTY TREAT

Have a 1/2 cup of Walnuts for a nice afternoon snack

According to the Harvard School of Public Health, nuts are a perfect age fighting food and full of omega-3 essential fatty-acids. Walnuts and nuts in general, assist with managing cholesterol levels, improve digestive functioning, and strengthen immunity due to their rich mineral content.

In addition, research has discovered that even though nuts are a high-calorie, high-fat food, they do not encourage weight-gain. This is because nuts are filling, and after consumption, people eat less afterwards. In fact, the body does not absorb up to 20% of nuts.

BREATHING FOR BEAUTY - Biblical Beauty Secret No. 3

When you can't BREATHE, nothing else matters.

Can you BREATHE for your Beauty?  Absolutely!

"Most of us do not breathe deeply enough for optimal health. With shallow breathing, we diminish our oxygen intake and the amount of carbon dioxide expelled from the body, leading to a build up of toxins in the body. Breathing slowly and deeply in and out through the nose will increase the oxygenation of blood upping rejuvenation of the skin."

Deep Breathing offers many beauty benefits:

Improves Oxygen Delivery

Deep Breathing increases circulation which results in glowing skin.'

Detoxification of the entire system

Breathing exercises can eliminate harmful toxins from the body.  The body is designed to release 70% of accumulated toxins through breathing.  Carbon Dioxide, a natural toxin is expelled from the body's metabolic processes.  Every time we exhale, we release carbon dioxide to cleanse the system.

Consequently, SHALLOW BREATHING makes it harder to release toxins from the system.  The lungs are forced to work harder which in turn weakens the immune systems.  This leads to illness and infections.

Elimination of Stress

Increased Mental Clarity

Biblical Beauties, let's commence to breathing better, deeply and consistently. 

By doing the above exercise just 5 minutes a day, improvements will be quickly manifested.  You will see radiant skin, calmness, clarity and.......

Weight Watchers says deep breathing will assist in WEIGHT LOSS!!!

One of the best known verses in the Bible is Genesis 2:7, "And the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living soul." (Ruach - Hebrew words for "breath of life")

PS:  FACT:  Creatures that breathe slower like the elephant and the tortoise, live longer.

WEEK ONE BIBLICAL BEAUTY SECRET (52 For the year!)

THE FIRST BIBLICAL BEAUTY SECRET OF THE NEW YEAR IS......

HELICHRYSUM OIL(Helichrysum splendidum)

Helichrysum, the flower that contributes to “Everlasting” and “Immortal” Essential Oil, and known by the names Helichrysum Angustifolium and Helichrysum Italicum, is an European herb native to France, Italy and a few neighboring countries. This is a very costly oil and scarcely available, but unlike other essential oils which have a short shelf life, this oil can be stored for a very long time.

https://www.organicfacts.net/health-benefits/essential-oils/health-benefits-of-helichrysum-essential-oil.html

The chemical profile of the

Veriditas Helichrysum italicum variety Serotinum,

includes a high level of :

o   Neryl Acetate (over 40%), which acts as an anti-spasmodic / muscle relaxant, may serve to “unlock” old injuries and is involved in the muscular-knot-releasing effect.

o   Alpha-, beta-, and gamma-curcumenes, which act as anti-inflammatory agents.

o   Di-ketones, which possess superb ability to regenerate new cells and tissue.

MY PERSONAL USAGE:

First of all, let me tell you, it doesn't smell that good.  It's a bit pungent.  LOL  However, it is so good for my skin, I just overlook that.  I use this fabulous oil two ways; 1) In my homemade facial scrub formula and 2) Adding a bit to my foundation.

ANTI-INFLAMMATION FACIAL SCRUB

1/2 Cup of Jojoba oil as the carrier oil

25 uncoated Aspirin (GeriCare Aspirin - I ordered via Amazon)

1 Tablespoons of Organic Lemon Juice

25 drops of Helichrysum Oil (http://www.edensgarden.com/products/helichrysum#.VowpTfkrL-c) 

Finely grind the UNCOATED Aspirin in a mortar with a pestle.  The coarseness of the powder depends upon how intense you want the exfoliation to be.  I like a medium grind, not too powdery.

ADD the Jojoba Oil, Organic Lemon Juice and the Helichrysum Oil to the Aspirin.  Mix well.  

i use this scrub about once a week.  It is particularly great for breakouts, cuts and puffiness.  Remarkable tightening without harsh dryness.

Before a special event, I will sleep with it on my face overnight.

ADDING TO MAKEUP FOUNDATION OR CONCEALER

I add one or two drops to my foundation on a makeup sponge.  Go easy with the oil because the smell is strong and you don't want to have folks looking at you weirdly.  LOL

Biblical Beauty Secret No. 1.....51 to go.

HELLO AGAIN, IT'S ME

Hi AGAIN, BIBLICAL BEAUTIES. 

It's been almost six months since my last posting.  May I just tell you how hectic it's been?

Firstly, I donned my white lab coat and started formulating two new and exciting products, PNEUMA OIL Scalp Rejuvenator and PS:3325 (skin oil treatment).  My business partner, Jeri Wingo and I have been working on the formulas, praying for guidance and believing God for powerful and revolutionary results.

Well, after the first testing of PNEUMA OIL, the results are PHENOMENAL!  Documented accelerated hair growth on the scalp and brows grew in thicker after 14 days.  We're beyond thrilled.  Our formulation is totally biblical except for one ingredient which was revealed through prayer.  The exception ingredient is derived from an incredible little plant that originated in the Brazilian Amazon.  But, true to the gospel, it is in accordance with God's provision for healing to be found in herbs.  (We Biblical Beauties understand that God speaks to His people explicitly.)

PS:3325, our incredible skin oil treatment is actually based upon a very special biblical oil.  Jeri and I are the only ones who have tried it so for.  We experienced profound results of firming, retexturizing and diminished puffiness in the eye area.  However, we found out the hard way that we have to use it sparingly.  (I got carried away and got some of it into my eye.  My eye became irritated and red but I was fine after I flushed it out with water.  However, we can't have our clients experiencing a reaction like that.)

Of course, before we launch either product, we will have met all mandatory procedures, testing, official approvals, etc.  God is AWESOME.  I know that there are zillions of ingredients which can revolutionize health and beauty healing and improvement yet to be found.

You see why we've been BUSY.

STAY TUNED BECAUSE WE'RE ABOUT TO 

REVOLUTIONIZE THE BEAUTY INDUSTRY 

FROM GOD'S POINT OF VIEW.

WELCOME TO BIBLICAL BEAUTY

This blog has been created to celebrate divine beauty, external and internal, encompassing the mind, body and spirit. Readers will find cutting edge commentary related to living a biblically principled life of power, righteousness, beauty, style and excellence.

Biblical Beauties take their cues from the many beautiful women of the Bible, i.e., Esther, Makeda, Candace, Ruth, Deborah, etc. The primary focus of a Biblical Beauty is to believe and achieve all that God has promised His daughters on a revolutionary level.


Biblical Beauties are "BLESSED," by definition, "empowered to succeed, provoking the world to jealousy." Hey, that's the Hebrew definition, I didn't make it up. We personify the covenant tenets of Deut. 28.

I am so excited because we're going to change lives by changing the definition of beauty by presenting topics of interest which foster, develop and maintain otherworldly, supernatural, divine, anointed, quantum-enhanced BIBLICAL BEAUTY.
