The Latest in Celebrity Fashion, Beauty and Fitness

I’m reading a great new book written by The Real Housewives of New York City Bethenny Frankel titled Naturally Thin: Unleash Your Skinny Girl and Free Yourself from a Lifetime of Dieting. Bethenny writes about her secret to being naturally thin, and she also reveals stories about celebrities she’s known who may or may not have healthy methods for staying skinny. One of my very first posts on this blog was a recipe for Bethenny’s famous Skinny Girls Margarita.

When Bethenny was younger she was a personal assistant for Kathy Hilton, Paris and Nicky Hilton’s mother. Bethenny would often take the girls out to run errands such as taking them to the mini-mart for a snack. Paris would always indulge in her favorite foods like a cheeseburger and fries, candy or chips. But, her secret to staying thin was that she would never fully indulge- she would just allow herself a tiny bit of indulgent food. Bethenny says this is why Paris Hilton is naturally thin.

I’m only a little bit into the book but I suggest ordering it from Amazon. I’ll “feed” you some more celebrity tid-bits as I read on!

The latest celebrity beauty treatment that’s making it’s way into salons and spas all over are Eyelash Extensions. Faux lashes are precisely placed around the lid using a safe glue which last for 4-6 weeks. The end result are full, lush lashes – and no need for layers of mascara.

Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian go to the Color Salon with they’re in Las Vegas. Eyelash extension expert Didi Perez applies the star’s faux lashes, rates are from $35 – $75.

Alicia Keys and Zoe Kravitz head to the Shu Uemura Tokyo Lash Bar at Barney’s New York for the ultimate treatment from pro Soul Lee. The boutique line sells “couture” lashes made from feathers, lace and crystal. The treatment costs $400 for full lash extensions.

Christina Ricci and Alyssa Milano love the Lash-Growth stimulation treatment at D’lashes by Dionne Phillips in Beverly Hills. The treatment costs $75 and is supposed to last 6-8 weeks. D’lashes also sells an at-home kit for $25, get the look without going to the salon!

Even the most beautiful celebrities need a little help getting tan this summer, Hollywood’s biggest secret to a healthy glow isn’t what you think. Celebs like Mariah Carey, Paris Hilton, Hillary Duff, Lindsay Lohan and Brooke Burke all get their tans from a bottle or a spray machine at Sundara Airbrush Tanning in New York.

Mariah Carey spends $300 for a fake spray tan by having a spray tan professional come to her home. Mariah also has the technician pay special attention to her abs and legs, by faking definition.

Hillary Duff goes for a natural glow with just a hint of a tan – avoiding the Oompa Loompa look. Lindsay Lohan has been know to overdose on spray tanning, she gets Sundara’s Cocktail Tan – a mixture of the bed, Mystic Tan machine, and tanning product which costs $80 a visit.

Sexy Brooke Burke gets the Infinity Sun Custom Tan from Sunset Tan in LA, and she finishes it off with an anti-aging spray to firm and help prevent wrinkles- smart!

Paris Hilton gets her fake bake at Completely Bare, she indulges in the 24 Karat Gold Tan which uses real specs of Gold!
