One word: Amazing.

CARB-FREE LOW FAT BBQ TURKEY BURGERS

DIFFICULTY LEVEL: OY!

*

If I had it my way, I would go to Baby Blues BBQ every night.

But I just don't think my figure could handle that.

So, I created an alternative. I wanted a great low fat meal.

While I made this with no bun (trying to get into wedding shape!) YOU can and should have it on a whole wheat bun slathered in BBQ sauce.

**

• 1 lb. ground turkey
• 3/4 cup of corn (cooked, not frozen)
• Some good ole BBQ sauce
• Buns (optional)

In a bowl, mix the turkey with the drained, cooked corn (you can microwave the frozen stuff in water for about 3 minutes).

Add a bit of BBQ sauce to the bowl and mix well. Just don't over-do it-- the burgers will be slop if you add too much!

In a heated pan, spray with cooking oil and toss in the burgers. Cook evenly, about 5-7 minutes per side.

Enjoy!

How fabulous are these?

PLUMP THOSE LIPS!

**

I was in Sephora looking for the "perfect lip plumper" to give me that perfect pout.

When I found what I was looking for, the main ingredient took me totally by surprise. I was expecting some odd-named mumbo-jumbo "propyl / acate/ pheryl."

It was CINNAMON.

Yes, that miraculous ingredient that makes coffee and apple cider so delicious.

I did some research and found out that cinnamon is "anti-microbial"-- when ingested, it helps stop the growth of bacteria. The scent of cinnamon has been proven to boost brain function.

What more could it possibly do?

How could this pantry favorite give me bee-stung lips?!

**

• Cinnamon Oil
• Vitamin E Oil (can extract from pills)
  

Simply:

Mix a drop (only a drop to start) of Cinnamon oil with some vitamin E oil. Rub it onto your clean and dry lips.

It may burn at first, but that will quickly subside.

How does it work?

The cinnamon oil brings blood to the surface to create that "Angelina" look.

And FYI, it only lasts an hour or so.

HIP TIP - WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS...

Make Lemonade.

Or... use lemons to remove dark patches around your elbows.

Apply some lemon juice to your elbow skin area and leave on for 20 minutes, then wash away.
