Sutton Stracke’s Black and White Sequin Collar Dress With Kyle

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 12 Episode 15 Fashion

In this scene on this week’s episode of RHOBH Kyle Richards worries that Sutton Stracke might look a bit too high maintenance for her date. And while that may be true with her $1585 (!) designer black and white sequin collar dress, as fellow high maintenance gals we’re all for it.

Fashionably,

What if I told you there was a healthy chocolate mousse recipe? No “what if?” There is, and I’m sharing it right here!

Finding a Balance with Treats. But Who Is Always Balanced? NOT ME!

In my lifestyle program, I share with my community the idea of having a healthy “balance” of 80/20 when it comes to nutrition: 80% eating healthy and 20% allowing treats a few times a week to satisfy a craving for sweets or pizza (or burgers and fries, etc.).

That’s great and all but I, like you, have a hankering for something sweet more times than a couple times a week. Yet I want to keep on track with my health goals. This little gem of a recipe can take care of the times my balance is off. Ladies, I’ve got you covered for when those hormones aren’t behaving.

Avocado: A Healthy Fat to Keep You on Track

When you read the ingredients for this chocolate mousse recipe, don’t freak out when you see a whole avocado for one serving. Healthy doses of healthy fats (which an avocado is) cannot be compared to unhealthy fats like the fats in fast food.

Also, if you are having a craving for something of a sweet attack, the healthy fat content should help feeling full and satisfied for a few hours. If you’re like how I used to be, it takes the whole pint of Ben and Jerry’s to kind of satisfy the craving. Here is a great snippet from a great article on avocadoes from the Medical News Today website:

“Although most of the calories in an avocado come from fat, don’t shy away! Avocados are full of healthy, beneficial fats that help to keep you full and satiated. When you consume fat, your brain receives a signal to turn off your appetite. Eating fat slows the breakdown of carbohydrates into sugar, which helps to keep sugar levels in your blood stable.

“Fat is essential for every single cell in your body. In fact, over 60 percent of your brain is made of fat. Eating healthy fats supports skin health, enhances the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. It may even help boost your immune system.

“Do not be fooled by fat-free and low-fat products, or shy away from foods like avocados and nuts that are full of healthy fats. Ever since the low-fat fad started in the 1950s, we have only become fatter. Manufacturers often just replace the fat in reduced and fat-free products with sugar.”

Stretch marks, sagging, and wrinkles are all a natural part of cleavage—there’s truly nothing to be ashamed about. But if you’re looking to show that area a little extra TLC, there’s nothing wrong with that either. In fact, it’s highly beneficial to apply skincare to the chest since it’s a thinner, delicate area more susceptible to change than other places on the body. Luckily, targeted treatments, such as the BodyBlendz Booby Mask, are here to help.

Made specifically to treat your boobs, the nourishing and firming mask brings a handful of appealing benefits: It removes impurities, prevents breakouts and irritation, minimizes discoloration, evens out skin tone and combats dullness. But perhaps most enticing, it promises to naturally firm and lift the area to bring ‘perkier, radiant’ breasts—and its band of transformative ingredients are to thank.

BodyBlendz

BodyBlendz Booby Mask

Pure Australian white clay quickly sheds dead skin and improves firmness and texture across the chest, while turmeric brings plenty of antioxidants that reduce the appearance of sun damage and dark spots and boost elasticity on aging skin. Lastly, Pentavitin, a 100 percent naturally derived plant extract, provides up to 24 hours of hydration, and macadamia oil, shea butter and cocoa butter leave behind softer, smoother results in their wake.

Per the brand, it takes 10 minutes or less for the mask to work; massage it onto damp or dry skin for a couple of minutes before leaving on for a minimum of five minutes to let the formula sink deep into the skin. For the best results, apply the mask one to two times per week.  

Intrigued? Scoop the BodyBlendz Booby Mask for $40—we have a feeling you won’t regret it. While you’re at it, add the matching firming Booty Clay Mask to your cart, too.

I was asked this question. Not once, twice, thrice – but four times last week. As I’m on an online dating site/app with a client, perusing potential dates for them (in my role as dating coach) this topic came up:

Is there a way to quickly identify a fake dating profile or an unwanted date?

The quick answer is yes, most of the time. Phew. Relief. Probably because we all agree that there is no bigger time sucker than online dating. The rabbit holes you fall down… The choices! How does one get to the “one”?

And, in under 90 seconds per person to be most time efficient? (This is a technique I use with my clients to show them they needn’t be online for hours.)

So, here are a few tips to steer clear of dating mayhem:

Tips in Regard to Photos

Lack of Photos

If there’s just one photo – in this digital age? – or no photo at all? Skip – no benefit of the doubt given as to maybe they are just a bit behind posting pictures. If they simply haven’t completed their profile yet – well, they should have hidden it until it was complete.

A good dating profile should include at least 4 photos!

Photos Look Old

Go with your gut – they are.

Oddly Positioned Photos

If you see only a head showing in a group shot, an arm dangling over their shoulder, an odd shaped photo… Who did they cut out and why?

No Full Body Shot

Uh-oh. Beware – there is a reason.

Photos Look Fake

90s’ clothing? C’mon.

Profile Information Tips

While photos are the very first item most singles look at in our chemistry driven world, next we get to the words, the profiles, the captions, the dating prompts.

Grammar and Punctuation Errors

You know the “you get one chance to make a good impression” and all that. Bad grammar is a quick turn-off sign.

Negativity

Yes. I mean no. There will be many “no’s” in this profile, such as, “No short women. No overweight. No emotionally unavailable.” Personally, that last one scares the heck out of me – what happened to you to put that in your happy, loving dating profile?

Desperation Seeps Out

Lines such as, “Are there any good, honest women left who want a committed relationship” or “I’ve been on Bumble for a year, and what’s up with you women?” (Yes, two real ones we saw yesterday while online with a client.)

Incomplete Profile

Skipped many of the questions – was the bot confused? Or is this person really not into dating? Perhaps they should have hired a dating pro to write it all as many do for their LinkedIn accounts.

Politics…

And not just general politics, but how about this: “If you voted for XXXX, don’t bother EVER contacting ME!” Hmmm, this is a real red flag when earlier they remarked about their unusual command of communication, curiosity and openness – and mentioned world peace would make them happy.

Bonus Tip

General statements, such as, “Like traveling, I look great in a tux and enjoy dining out” are certainly a steer clear sign. What could we possibly do with this information to make an informed decision?

Luckily, as online dating has evolved positively over the past 30 years (yes, it’s been around since 1992), so has some of the quality of online profiles.

In our one-hour coaching session yesterday, Libby, 66, a retired pharmaceutical rep and I were having a blast – and giggling often. But when I had her set her iPhone alarm to 90 seconds per interesting profile/person, we had our own game of speed dating on – skipping through the above timewasting profiles – and ended our hour with 14 unique messages sent. And by this morning, 8 positive replies.

Pretty good work for an hour!

What red flags are you looking for when browsing online dating sites/apps? How much time do you spend per profile? Have you noticed certain repetitive patterns that make you skip to the next one?
