No Lipo Lipo - Carol Maggio's Techniques Deliver Lipo Results with Zero Surgery

YOU:
Dear Genie...
Hi, I'd like to order one liposuction procedure.... except....uhhhh....I really don't want surgery, so basically, I want all the BENEFITS of liposuction, without actually having liposuction. 
Oh, and I really don't want to work-out or take diet pills, either.
K?
GENIE:
Wish Granted !
YOU:
Uhhh... really?  
Cool.

DRASTIC....DRAMATIC...FANTASTIC.


You are looking at results from NO LIPO LIPO, the exclusive, all-body technique that sculpts your body and slims it.  It's NOT liposuction.....so there's no worries, no surgery, no downtime or side-effects, but...you get the results of liposuction at a fraction of the cost.  Just what you wished for.

Carole Maggio does it again.

It's really like a turbo-charged knuckle-massage that stimulates circulation and breaks down body fat and tones and strengths muscles.

What was that?  Yes, it's basically a MASSAGE, not an exercise program.  Many clients don't even work out!  (They say it themselves in the video below.)  But they DO cut out carbs after 5pm and drink two cups of green tea a day to help flush out the fat and toxins from their system.

The average client loses 12-16 inches after 10 treatments.  Treatments are 2x week.  They last 30 minutes.

In the video below, Carole says ten treatments at her spa cost around $600.  And that includes a loofah.

Here's what the Queen of Facial Exercises says about No Lipo Lipo on her website:
This technique smooths and tightens the skin, lifts the buttocks, flattens the stomach and reduces inches on the thighs. It also dramatically improves circulation in addition to minimizing the appearance of cellulite. Mimics liposuction at a fraction of the cost. 
You are NOT going to believe this, but Carole made a DVD teaching you NO LIPO LIPO...

Carole Maggio's NO LIPO LIPO DVD available here - click ONLINE STORE, then DVDs/Books

So you can go to the Carole Maggio Day Spa in Redondo Beach, CA....find a spa that licenses her technique, OR do it in the privacy of your own home!

The DVD is $39.95.    Yeah, you might just want to scroll up & take a look at the above results photo one more time :)  WHAT AN AMAZING DEAL FOR SMOKIN' HOT RESULTS !







You can get more and save more if you opt to get the NO Lipo Lipo DVD with a Sisal Louffa Mitt and Strap with a Nourishing E Oil for $89.95.   The DVD demonstrates Carole's  "Dry Brushing technique" which strengthens the connective tissue and firms the skin, so you'll need the loufas.

To see more results from Carole Maggio's No Lipo Lipo, go to:

Facercise.com
And don't forget about Carole's faboo Facercise facial exercise program! Did you know she gives a 30 day money-back guarantee on her Facercise DVD?  You can also purchase a private web-cam Facercise class on her site.

And here's some fun & informative video clips from KTLA featuring Carole and the NO LIPO LIPO technique.


Yep....NO scapel.  All natural.  NO side-effects.  Risk-free.

Most men don't pursue lipsuction, BUT...I would think that the GUYS would want to jump on this too!  No reason they can't drain a couple pony kegs off the ol' beer gut with this technique.

If you've been wishin' for a slim-down, no need to wish upon a star or rub that Genie lamp, just go to Carol's website or spa... then watch those sizes melt off like the pix above !

With THESE crazy-good results?  Let the Massaging and Loofah-ing begin !

The "f" word is never optional....and that word, my Gal Pals, is F R E E !

And freebies on your birthday?  Well, that just makes it even more special...like eating the little rose off your cake frosting - YUM !

Yesterday, I celebrated the big Four-Five b-day, so I want to share my nifty gifties...

First, I went to Sephora and picked up my free Beauty Insider Birthday present:

All you need to do to get this is sign up on the Sephora site.  No purchase is necessary if you pick the gift up in person 2 weeks before or after your birthday.  This one is a little smaller than the lipglosses I got last year and am still using, but nice to have a new mascara, even if it is Barbie Doll size.  There's also a compact eyeliner and eyeshadow.

Then, amazing Aveda send me an invite for a personalized gift -



a free Personal Blends Pure-Fume Spirit or body care product worth up to $25.00 - custom-blended with the aroma of my choice.  Think all I did to get this, was to submit my email address at the Aveda site.  Easy.

Following my nose to an Aveda store next for this major feel-pretty smellie.

Anybody else got any makeup, body yummies or anti-aging birthday freebies?  Lemmee know, so we can all get on the VIP List !

Older, Wiser and About to Smell Prettier,

Does The Way You Sleep Cause Wrinkles? How to Prevent Facial Creases

Sleeping Beauties : 

Catching enough shut-eye?  If your answer is "no," your lack of sleep can contribute to AGING!

Fatigue causes the stress hormone cortisol to spike....and too much cortisol is one of the "four pillars of aging".... (along with an excess of insulin, free radicals, and blood glucose.  Read more about the four pillars of aging here.)

Sleep rejuvenates our minds and our bodies, and good sleep is essential to good health, so make sure you are getting plenty of Zzzzzz's....

And sheezzzzzz, it's not only HOW much sleep we are getting, but HOW we are sleeping that can affect looking older!

We've ALL had one of those restless nights where we wake up, check the mirror and say:

Goooood Mornin' Rip Van WRINKLE!

If you constantly sleep on one side of your face, or sleep on your stomach every single night, night after night, you can get lines or even stretch out your skin ... and side-sleeping not only affects your face - it also, over time, makes your neck and chest sag !

It's what I like to call "FACE SMOOSHING SYNDROME"... or FSS.

Why does FSS cause wrinkles?  One, two, three - it's the REPETITION of hitting the sheets hard night after night that causes those lines to get deeper and deeper... resulting in the "mechanical" or some say "compression" wrinkle.  Plus, if you are stressin' it up, getting chased by The Boogey Man, or solving night-time algorithms, your face just might furrow in your sleep too!  Yeouch!

Math Geeks - listen up:  let's say you are 40 and the average person sleeps 1/3 of their lives...   That means you've already slept 13.333 YEARS.....and if you're sleeping the same way on the side of your face or stomach... that's 13 + years of pillow grooves!   Not the good kind of grooves....

So what should we do?   Anyone?   Bueller?

Well, prevention is key.  Here are a few tips...

Hit The Sack On Your Back

The best thing to do is to train yourself to sleep on your back.

Easier said than done...but the back position helps to prevent "pillow thrashing" and will help improve your air flow.  Make a conscious effort to at least start off slumber this way, paying special attention to relax all of your facial muscles.  Need more support?  Push the pillow under your knees.

Talk Pillows

You can get an "anti-aging" pillow like this one :
Anti Wrinkle Beauty Pillow - Ivory
These special U-shaped pillows support your head, elevate your face and provide proper support for the neck, shoulders and back.  Some of them are filled with nice smellies too, to make you feel like you are sleeping on a bed of roses.

Tape it Up

Plaster up that wrinkle so it can't move, babe!  My fave is Frownies.  Now,  I've seen some readers search for "how to make your own Frownies with duct tape."..... okay, this is just wrong wrong wrong!  Do you want that toxic adhesive gunk going into your skin?  Your best bet is to use Frownies, or to try to re-train your facial muscles consciously.

Try Nights in White Satin

A satin pillowcase will do wonders to help smooth out the tossy turnies...and won't tangle up your hair as much as a cotton case.  No WONDER I always have bed-head...
Ahhhh, silky..... Shop Satin Luxury Standard Satin Pillowcase with Hidden Zipper, Champagne
         

Play Pillow Toss

You can loose the pillow underneath your head entirely and just use one underneath your knees for back support.

Move Over,  Statue of Liberty....
If you just CAN'T stop rubbing your face all over your pillow, at least get this: 
CupronTM Cosmetic Skin Appearance-Enhancing Satin Pillowcase .
It's a pillowcase that contains copper in the fabric that claims to soften your wrinkles!   
Now, copper peptides are great for your skin - they help stimulate collagen production, have an anti-bacterial component and can help heal wounds.  Better than rubbing your face on your copper piping...  that could cause some serious face squishies.
         Anyone try this?  PLEASE, let me know!



You TOO can prevent Face Smooshing Syndrome! 

Here's to counting sheep, not sleep lines --

And be on the look-out for an upcoming post with 20 tips to help you get all the winks you can!
