Halloween is here, keep your hands out of the candy!
It's hard enough all year long to stay away from goodies but it can be that much more difficult during the Halloween season. Candy wreaks havoc on your metabolism, not to mention what processed sugar will do to your metabolism and oh yea, cause weight gain.
This time of year can be torture on sweet lovers like myself!
Here's some things to remember over this Trick or treating weekend!
When you eat high amounts of processed sugar and candy, your digestive system gets stressed out and your body has a harder time burning fat.
Eating a balanced meal and feeding your kids a balanced meal is a great way to curb the sugar/ dessert cravings. Try to fill up on lean protein, veggies, and fiber before you indulge in your first piece of candy. |

If you workout or exercise before trick-or-treating, your body will be more sensitive to insulin. That is because exercise lowers blood sugar. Your body will digest sugar a little better if you workout before going out.
Before you woof down a few little candy bars, eat a piece of fruit and drink 8 ounces of water. Eating fruit and drinking water has a significant role on satiety (the feeling of fullness). You'll likely eat much less candy if you start with fruit and water.
After Halloween, it's time to purge your kitchen and cabinets of the remaining temptations. Bring the extra candy to work or give it to someone else who can distribute it elsewhere.
Do your best to resist temptation. We're all human, but if you can avoid eating a ton of sugar during the days leading up to and following Halloween, you can avoid gaining weight.
If you have been trying to lose weight, Halloween is a time that you must approach cautiously. Try to make it to Thanksgiving without falling off your weight loss plan wagon. Thanksgiving to New Year's is a tough time, so don't extend your bad holiday eating season by binging on candy during Halloween. |

Tattoo Potion
Tattoo care is a seriously important issue to Garage-Girls. Hell after spending a few hours in the tattoo chair and forking over some hard earned cash for it, we want to protect the investment that will be with us the rest of our lives. The last thing we want is the sun fading our art.
Tattoo Potion is a tattoo aftercare, skin/body care line for people with body art. |

The line includes:
-Number 9; a tattoo aftercare lotion (for skin care immediately following the artwork)
-Number 7, a tattoo and full body moisturizer that helps ensure tattoo longevity
-Number 1, a sunscreen for tattoos.
All three products are made in the USA in an FDA-certified facility.
We got our hands on some of the line up and handed over to Tattooist/artist Deb Mahan to give it a test. She had this to share. "I used Tattoo Potion Number 9 on one of my tattoos, and was very pleased with the results, and I liked the fact that I don't have that medicinal odor that is normally associated with aftercare."
We especially like that the Fragrance free SPF 30 Sunscreen won't clog your pours.

Looking for a Brand New Bag?
What Girl doesn't love a great Purse?
One of our favorite websites to check out is Hell's Belles Finishing School For Girls and they are just releasing a new line of hand bags.
Based out of New York City each item is designed by the headmistress and all items are executed by hand and with love by a team of dedicated workers. We love the fact that they proudly state they use only man made materials so no animals are hurt in the making of any of their products! Giving the state of the economy right now we feel it is important to support the local artists and craftsman working right here in the good 'ole USA, don't be buying crap that was made overseas, buy American!!! |
