T

he holidays are a time of joy. We look forward to wonderful times gathered around the hearth with family and friends, sipping our favorite beverage.

These memories warm our heart. Holidays are also a time of sorrow. Flash forward to January 2nd when you get out of the shower and finally have the courage to step on the scale. These memories put regret in our hearts!

To avoid having weight loss be “resolution one” this year, start by putting a plan into action now.

Here are six tips that will help you balance both your life and the scales during the holiday season.

Tip One

reness Make awa liday ho part of the spirit.

Ask yourself, “Where do I want my weight to be to on January 2nd?” Jot the answer down on a piece of paper and post it where you can see it every day; on your bathroom mirror, on your dashboard, or on your computer screen.

For example: “I want to weigh 135 on January 2nd.”

Now don’t lose sight of that goal.

Tip Two

Set into motion actions that will le ad to achieving your goal.

Continue your exercise program. If you don’t have one, now is the time to start. Don’t wait until the first of the year to begin. Exercise is a great calorie burner. Exercise also increases endorphins which promote a sense of well being, something you will need lots of at this stressful time of year.

Tip Three

Set a Carb Limit for the day.

Depending on your activity level, allow yourself a daily total of four to six carbohydrate servings (including alcohol). Think of a drink as a piece of bread (one carb serving) with a pat of butter on top. Since there will be sweets and alcohol everywhere you go, each time you eat a cookie or have a drink, you have to subtract some other carbohydrate from your diet that day, so plan ahead. Here are some other examples of one carbohydrate serving: One slice of whole wheat bread ½ of a hamburger bun 8 pretzel sticks 3 Hershey kisses ¼ of a medium order of French fries One can of soda (2 carbs)

Tip Fou

Keep a F

r

ood Log

Keeping a food log helps you know how many carbs you have eaten and how many you have left.

One strategy is to limit carbs during the week.

Fill up on salads, fresh veggies, lean protein, and healthy fats. See the sample menu on the following page. continued on page 8

2015

w Le Nouveau Moi

7

Here is a sample menu to help limit carbs: Breakfast: Egg white omelet with spinach and low fat cheese, topped with salsa and 2 slices of avocado.

Or ½ cup cooked oatmeal or whole grain cereal with sliced fruit and almond milk plus one teaspoon ground flaxseed.

Or 2 slices (45 calories each) whole grain toast with one tablespoon natural peanut or almond butter and natural fruit spread. *Coffee or skinny latte Lunch: Large salad with lean protein – grilled chicken, low fat cheese, shrimp, salmon, or beans. Vinaigrette (made with olive oil).

Or If you did not have carbs at breakfast (oatmeal, cereal, toast), eat a sandwich on whole wheat bread with nitrite free turkey, a dab of olive oil mayo, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle (if non-meat eater, make with hummus or low fat cheese).

Or Chipotle bowl with chicken or beef, beans (no rice), peppers and onions, salsa (no corn salsa), cheese, no sour cream, and a dab of guacamole.

Dinner: Green salad with vinaigrette, lean protein of your choice, and steamed or roasted veggies (no potatoes).

Snacks: One piece of fresh fruit with 12 raw almonds, cashews, or walnuts or fresh cut up veggies dipped in 1/3 cup hummus. *Coffee is a calorie free food but can lead to hunger pangs, so limit intake.

8

Tip Five

Make a Party Plan

Have a plan before you attend a party because good intentions can quickly fly out the window. Alcohol, besides adding calories, diminishes your ability to stay focused on your goals. Set a number of drinks for the night and stick to it.

On the day of a party, a good low carb plan might be to: • Eat an egg white and spinach omelet for breakfast.

• Have a decaf skinny latte and a small handful of raw nuts for a snack.

• Order a large salad with some grilled chicken or fish for lunch.

• Eat a piece of fruit mid-afternoon.

You never want to go to a party hungry. Telling yourself you won’t eat all day so it is okay to indulge at the party is a formula for disaster. At the party, avoid fried food, any appetizer that sits on bread, and creamy dips. That leaves veggies and protein. Save the carbs for your set amount of alcohol or a bite or two of something yummy.

Tip SIX

Enjoy the Holidays

Strike the right balance between exercise, carbohydrate intake (sweets and alcohol), healthy eating and merriment. Make your New Year’s resolutions now and you might find the season and the scale better balanced at year’s end. author: Judy Caplan is a registered dietitian with a private practice in preventive health in Vienna, VA.

Holiday Glamour Tips A

s the days get shorter and grow colder it’s more important than ever to take great care of your skin!

Regular facials, exfoliating, keeping your skin hydrated with moisturizers, and drinking lots of water is crucial this time of year! Don’t forget to continue to protect your skin from the sun with a daily sunscreen. Winter months can be very harsh on the skin and can speed up the aging process, so this isn’t the time to neglect your skin care regimen. My favorite gentle exfoliator is The Microdelivery Exfoliating Wash by Philosophy!

MAKE UP

M

akeup should help give you a “pick me up” during the fall and winter months. With skin tones at their palest you can add some “pop” with great lip colors! The hottest trends in lip colors this season are reds and burgundies! My favorite reds are Motives Red Carpet and MAC Ruby Woo! For rich looking burgundies I love YSL Forbidden Burgundy and Motives Venetian Red! A rule of thumb, when using these crimson tones, is to let your mouth be the focal point. Keep the eyes simple with neutral shades and a hint of blush to balance it out. If you want to glam it up for a great evening look for your holiday parties, or a New year’s Eve night on the town, you can accentuate your eyes with a bold eyeliner and some faux lashes!

ith the holidays around the corner I have some great makeup tips to look your very best for all of your gatherings! If you are going to an office holiday party right after your work day, a few tricks will take your makeup from work to play! The morning of your party be sure to wear a polished professional business makeup application to work that day. This means foundation, concealer, powder, etc, since you will need a nice base to start with before you “glam it up!” Keep in mind the venue, so that you don’t over do it, since it is still a business event. The trick is to make your features more defined for evening lighting.

Adding a heavier liner to the top lid will accentuate the eyes. I love Motives Luxe Precision Eyeliner! It’s a felt tip pen and so easy to work with! Add a little more blush, for balance, and some bronzing powder to give you some color. For your lips you can add a red lip or a nude lipstick with a touch of gloss. This keeps it simple but adds a nice hint of glamour to your overall look!

f you are attending a black tie event, a more glamorous holiday party, or a special night out for New Year’s Eve that is the time to pull out all the stops! Start with this season’s dewy looking finish. You can achieve this look with a luminous formulated foundation or by adding a powder with a sheen. My favorite picks are Bobbi Brown Brightening Bricks and MAC Mineralize Shimmer powder.

These go on top of a light dusting of sheer translucent powder and they give you a gorgeous holiday glow! I also love shimmer eyeshadows for a beautiful evening look. Apply shimmer eyeshadow by dotting it on the center of the lid, only as an accent. This gives the eye depth and makes them really pop! Motives Eye Illusions in Mystical and Steel are beautiful shimmery metallic shades that look fabulous. When it comes to really making your eyes pop, faux lashes are the way to go! You can apply strip lashes or individual lashes just to the outer corner. Add a touch of mascara and you are ready to shine! Enjoy your holiday beauty tips and make this a great season.

ASK THE

EXPERT About Cryolipolysis® The New Science of Killing Fat Cells Written by Nuha Handoush Certified Laser Technician

ASTORIA LASER CLINIC & MED SPA 2106-B Gallows Road Vienna, Virginia 22182 (703) 992-9290 www.astorialaserclinic.com

What is Cryolipolysis?

Cryolipolysis® is the non-invasive cooling of adipose tissue to induce lipolysis—the breaking down of fat cells—to reduce body fat without damage to other tissues.

Lipids from the fat cells are slowly released and transported by the lymphatic system to be processed and eliminated, much like that of fat from food. Based on the research findings of the Wellman Center for Photomedicine at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, the investigators concluded “prolonged, controlled local tissue cooling can induce selective fat cell reduction and subsequent loss of subcutaneous fat, without damaging the overlying skin.” This discovery is called “selective Cryolipolysis®.”

18

Le Nouveau Moi

w 2015

What treatments use Cryolipolysis?

CoolSculpting® treatments use the science of Cryolipolysis® to reduce fat on the thighs, abdomen, arms, buttocks, bra bulge and also under the chin.

HEALTH

“prolonged, controlled local tissue cooling can induce selective fat cell reduction and subsequent loss of subcutaneous fat, without damaging the overlying skin.”

About Cryolipolysis

HOW WAS IT DISCOVERED? The scientific principles of Cryolipolysis® were discovered at the Wellman Center for Photomedicine at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, a teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School.

The physicians and their team conducted research that demonstrated that under carefully controlled conditions, subcutaneous fat cells are naturally more vulnerable to the effects of cold than other surrounding tissue. Exposure to cooling via energy extraction causes fat cell apoptosis—a natural, controlled cell death, which leads to the release of cytokines and other inflammatory mediators that gradually eliminate the affected cells. Inflammatory cells gradually digest the affected fat cells in the months after the procedure, reducing the thickness of the fat layer.

Why is this so different from other methods of fat removal?

Cryolipolysis® is different from other methods of fat removal primarily because they involve necrotic cell death by damaging fat with surgery, heat, highintensity focused ultrasound, or chemical injections.

Each approach poses potential technical challenges, particularly with respect to targeting the right tissue depth and unintended damage to other structures close to or within the fat layer. Predictability of efficacy using these other techniques is also uncertain. In contrast using Cryolipolysis® induces apoptosis only in fat cells to gently and gradually reduce the fat layer while preserving all other tissue. There is no downtime, patients can go to work the next day and resume their normal activities.

WHAT IS COOLSCULPTING?

CoolSculpting® is the coolest, most innovative, non-surgical way to lose those annoying bumps and bulges of stubborn fat. This revolutionary technology targets and cools unwanted fat cells in the selected area to induce a noticeable, natural-looking reduction in fat bulges.

Unlike most other methods of fat reduction, CoolSculpting involves no needles, surgery, or downtime. Patients o en spend procedure time reading, working on their laptops, or simply relaxing.

✻

COOLSCULPTING VS LIPOSUCTION

A Coolsculpting treatment is be er than liposuction!

Liposuction does not reduce cellulite but only makes it worse. Liposuction removes fat from the middle layer of skin, leaving the top layer of skin still dimpled and full of cellulite. Coolsculpting works directly on the dimpled top layer of skin, breaking up the fat trapped underneath effectively reducing the appearance of cellulite.

22

Le Nouveau Moi

w 2015

✻

WHAT TO EXPECT

To initiate the treatment we will position the device on your body.

The device will then draw the bulge up between two cooling panels. The sensation is a firm pull and pressure—enough of a pull to ensure the selected tissue will be cooled most efficiently. An hour or so later, depending on your needs, you’re done.

It’s safe, FDA-cleared and effective.

Results look natural and can be seen as early as three weeks following treatment, with the most dramatic results a er one to three months.

✻

WHAT WILL THE RESULTS BE?

You may start to see changes as quickly as three weeks a er your treatment, and will experience the most dramatic results a er one to three months. Your body is still flushing fat cells and will continue doing so for up to four to six months a er treatment.

Many patients are satisfied a er one treatment. However, during your consultation, we can discuss a treatment plan that will meet your specific treatment needs.

A “HOW TO” ON

by MJ Cincotta Can’t decide to paint your nails light or go dark this time? Why not Ombre? Ombre nails are a type of manicure in which a gradient effect is created. A dark color at the base of the nail gradually blends into a lighter color toward the tip.

Getting it perfect can take time and practice, but this method makes the process simple.

Preparing your Nails 1) Soak your hands. Soaking your hands in soapy water gently strips the oil from your skin and softens your cuticles.

2) Trim and shape your nails. Short nails are in style now, but I always paint them long and cut them down after a few days when they chip to get another few days out of the maincure.

taminants off of your nails and to make sure no polish is remaining on the nail.

5) Apply a Base. Apply a base coat of the lightest color you will be using on the entire nail.

3) Push back your cuticles. Gently push your cuticles away from your nail. If desired, you may also trim your cuticles by carefully clipping the tops with a cuticle clipper.

4) Use polish remover. This helps make sure that you have all the oils and con-

Creating the Gradient 1) Taking the Easy Way. So you could use nail polish, but the trick here is to use acrylic paint that will easily wash off the skin with water afterwards.

lightest color at the bottom being sure to gauge where your nail would end on the sponge so as to be able to see all three colors.

2) Use Three Brushes. Using 3 paint brushes and a cosmetic sponge, brush on the darkest color at the tip of the sponge, a mixture of the light and dark color on the middle of the sponge and the

Dab on the color Do it thrice. Take the sponge and dab on the color. Let the layer dry and repeat three times trying to land the sponge the same way on the nail each time. You will most likely have to repeat the step above for subsequent layers.

Apply the Top Coat 1) Taking the Easy Way­—Again. So there’s acrylic paint all over your fingers, but the nails look great, so protect them first­—then worry about the mess.

2) Paint a clear top coat on each nail.

And since we’ve worked so hard on the gradient, let’s let it dry and put another clear top coat layer on top and let that dry. continued on page 26 2015

Clean Up Time Clean off Your Fingers. So this is the slightly tricky part­—washing off the paint and not ruining your nails. Since it’s just acrylic paint, a little soap and water does the trick. I use my thumb nail to outline the paint on the cuticle and little light rubbing to clean it off.

Lingerie for Every Body Type

by Bonnie Stephens & Nicole Martin

When you get dressed for the big day ahead, do you find yourself subconsciously reaching for certain articles of clothing over and over again? Do you wish all your bras felt like your “go-to” bra? You are not alone; it’s in

our nature to desire beauty and comfort in our clothing. However, if your lingerie pinches, rides up or has gaps, it can be worse than simply feeling uncomfortable— it can create real health issues.

Back aches, pinched nerves, poor posture, and reduced circulation all stem from ill-fitting garments.

Luckily for northern Virginia women, there is a solution.

Belle Mode Intimates of Fairfax Corner is owned and operated by Nicole Martin, a Vermonter and GMU graduate.

“... every woman deserves the perfect fit”

As a young woman, Nicole worked alongside her mother at Bertha Church, a very wellknown lingerie fitting store in Burlington, Vermont. Nicole soon began to realize that bra fitting is much more meaningful than what it seems. It’s a service all women should get, and that some desperately need. Doctors refer women to Belle Mode for fittings after mastectomies, as well as relief from back pain and other ailments. The list of health benefits, positive self-image and confidence improvements is endless.

As a recipient of many “Best Of NoVA” awards, Belle Mode has a unique outlook on specialty retail in a prosperous area.

Martin offers a wide range of sizes and price points without sacrificing style and comfort.

While she does carry high-end products for when that “special something” is required, she always takes care to stock products in the average department store price range, as well. “There are so few boutiques in Northern Virginia. There is a preconceived notion that small, specialty retail shops carry only very expensive products. I never want women to think that well-fitted products of great quality and excellent customer service are not affordable for the average woman,” says Martin. “Every woman deserves the perfect fit. I truly believe that.”

Belle Mode specializes in hard to find bra sizes from 28 to 50 brands and AAA to L cups from brands such as Prima Donna, Panache, Anita, Fantasie, Chantelle, The Little Bra Company, Elomi, & Marlies Dekkers, among many others. An appointment is not required for a general fitting, but is required in order to book a Certified Mastectomy Fitter.

The Innovations of

Noufal HairColor Salon

The owner of Noufal HairColor Salon in Tysons Corner, Joey Noufal, always thought he’d be an architect. He loved to draw and paint and wanted to see his creations come to life. But his career took another path.

At just nine years old, Noufal’s family moved to the United States from Lebanon, where they owned Noufal Salon, opening a new salon here in the Springfield Mall. Joey learned the trade through a family of stylists, beginning with shampooing at age 14, and then took it to the next level.

“I decided I wanted to do hair instead of being an architect,” Noufal said. “It is a passion for me, and in a way, I am designing, with the instant gratification of a client’s smile.” He’s been in the industry over 30 years, now a Master Stylist and stylist to celebrities.

Le Nouveau Moi

w 2015

At Noufal HairColor Salon, Noufal likens what he does to his love of architecture, taking great care to create an ideal and healthy look for each client. Through training with Vidal Sassoon and Paul Mitchell, and as a color educator with Goldwell International, Noufal learned techniques he puts into practice today.

He is an artist, an award-winning stylist and make-up artist with expertise in color application, haircut techniques, highlighting, corrective coloring and Japanese Relaxers.

Noufal’s claim to fame is the wildlypopular product he developed called Noufal Infusion Oil. When used with the coloring process, the treatment works with the color to penetrate all three layers of hair to make the hair silky smooth and provide a deep, rich conditioning. He packages and sells this product for home use as well.

“We want to keep your hair healthy, shiny and young,” Noufal said. He was also one of the first to develop the technique of creating color and highlights simultaneously. Product lines include Eufora, J Beverly Hills and Wella® Professional Hair Color.

New things are in the works for Noufal HairColor Salon with the 2015 addition of a franchise opportunity. “We have a great concept here, and are looking for people to dream big with me to open about 10 salons in this area eventually,” Noufal explained. “I would open them all myself, but I want to still have time to work with my clients and sufficiently train others.”

The products, and the expert styling and coloring techniques, are not the only draw. Here, clients are treated like guests. Included with every service are an initial consultation, selections from an outstanding drink menu, and the Infusion Oil treatment. Handwritten thank you cards, birthday gifts and a Membership Rewards Program offer that special boutique touch.

“Our promise is to provide outstanding customer service, products and services so that people refer their friends and family here,” Noufal said. “That’s how we’ve been able to grow to where we are today.”
