And yet, ANOTHER benefit of daily exercise!

The key to a healthy lifestyle: diet and exercise. Living a healthy lifestyle can help you live longer and help you look younger while doing it!

Studies show that regular aerobic exercise is a must for anyone committed to slowing the aging process. With an increase in blood flow to the skin, there is also an increase in the rate of new cell growth and oils for moisture. Exercise not only helps keep your body in shape, flexible and healthy, but your skin as well as it helps keep the skin supple to prevent wrinkle formation.

So what will you do to slow the aging process? Jogging around your neighborhood? Heading to the gym? Joining a yoga class? Or my personal favorite, rollerblading! Now it's your turn- what's your favorite stay young activity?

Is it true? Is your makeup causing wrinkles?!

Have you heard that before? That wearing makeup may actually be causing you to age? Is this true? We were curious too, so Enza Essentials did a little digging and found out the truth.

Now take a breath and relax- makeup itself will not lead to wrinkles. But don't stop reading here.

Now what you do (or don't do) with your makeup may be causing you wrinkles...

  •  Not taking makeup off- I promise, those 9 hours of sleeping can make a world of difference. While the makeup you wore begins clogging your pores, it also leaves remnants on your pillow to come back and haunt you!
  • Not wearing sunscreen- Not wearing sunscreen under your makeup (or makeup with SPF) makes you are prone to sun damage which leads to premature aging! And don't think that you can't get sun burned through a window or when it's cloudy, the sun is relentless!
  • Tugging at your skin- So even when you do everything you are told and take your makeup off daily, wear your SPF, you still need to watch out while applying and removing. Tugging on your skin, especially where the skin is thin around your eyes can cause the skin to lose it elasticity, leading to under eye. 

Now after a little Wrinkle 101 class, you can keep the skin you love for longer!

Check out how the celebs get their gorgeous skin- It might be easier than you think!

Somehow or another, every celebrity seems to have perfect, flawless skin. In every movie, ever episode, every award show- they never have a day where the don't look perfect. How annoying is that? What's even more annoying is that they make it sound so easy!

Demi Moore says she simply focuses on moisturizing her face, Naomi Watts just drinks plenty of water and gets facials every 6 to 8 weeks, Sarah Jessica Parker promotes sunscreen use for healthy skin, and Jessica Alba reveals her secret as washing her face every single night- no exceptions.

Now you must be wondering "Huh? So if I do those simple things, I can have skin like theirs?"

Maybe not exactly- but these simple steps sworn by the celebrities themselves, will prove for long-lasting healthy skin.

It's just like Zooey Deschanel said, "Take care of your skin and you won't need too much makeup."

How far are you willing to go for fabulous skin?

What comes to mind when you think of Bee venom? How about bird poop? Ceramic Crystal? Now think of each of these as part of your beauty routine. Not too appealing, right?

Believe it or not, each of these have been used by skin experts, estheticians, and others working in the  skincare field as an alternative beauty routine. 

Bird poop is used during facials as a way to help break down and remove out layers of skin cells (don't worry, the bird poop is sterilized first!) 

And be sure to check out Kate Middleton's skin, as she attributes her fabulous skin to bee venom. This type of treatment is a way to plump up and tighten the skin quickly and effectively. 

And ceramic crystal therapy is a procedure in which ceramic crystals are injected into your face to make you look younger giving you a 'porcelain complexion.' Actress Jerry Hall has been known to use this treatment to make her look younger. 

So what do you all think about this? Is this going TOO far in the name of anti-aging? Or is this something you would try?

Can you believe this spring makeup style?! We want your opinion, is this a do or don't?



Spring is here and it's time to see what the fashion world has for us to try out this season! These women flaunt the bright blue, highlighting their eyes-- It's a springy color, right? 

Now I've always been a fan of the neutral browns and greens for my blue eyes- you know, nothing too showy- but these pictures make me want to try something new! What do you guys think? Can it be pulled off or is it too much?

Think the rain is an excuse for a lazy day? Check out these pictures and think again!


When it comes to rainy dreary days, I can't seem to find any motivation. I don't know if it's just me, but when I wake up and see dark clouds out my window, I throw on my go-to rainy day clothes. Usually something like a big hooded sweatshirt that I'll throw on for  class, a cozy sweater, or a raincoat. But after seeing these pictures, I have just a little more motivation for fashion on those dreary days. 

I mean, look at these outfits! I am obsessed with the brightly colored rain boots that jazz up any look. What better way to beat the weather than showing it up with fabulous fashion!? So what do you think? Is your rainy day outfit something like mine? Or something like these  glam women?

Have you seen Zooey Deschanel's skin? Need I say more?


As one of my favorite actresses, I often wonder: How does she do it? How does she get such radiant, flawless skin? Sure, she's a celebrity, but even so, what are her secrets? And why can't I have skin like that?!


Zooey is adored for her clear skin and "clean" makeup look when compared to many other actresses. She says, "Take care of your skin and you won't need too much makeup." It's great to see a celebrity so focused on skincare and flaunting her natural glow.

However.... speaking for myself, I know I still need plenty of makeup for my skin to look anywhere near Zooey's level. So for now, I'll cleanse, exfoliate, tone, moisturize- anything to get skin like Zooey Deschanel!
