From cocktail parties to New Year’s bashes, ‘tis the season for endless cele-brations with friends, fa-mily and food - and lots of it. Facing multiple parties packed with those indul-gent holiday goodies can be a challenge to anyone’s weight loss goals. But with the right strategy, you’ll be celebrating even after the party has ended.

One person who has mastered maintaining a healthy lifestyle du-ring the holidays with Weight Watchers is Grammy Award-win-ning recording artist and Academy Award-winning actress Jennifer Hudson. “When it comes to those once a year family favorite reci-pes, I don’t say

no. It’s all about modera-tion and portion sizes,” says Hudson. “I also remind my-self that food is just a small part of the holidays. The biggest gift to me is having a chance to celebrate with my family and friends.”

Here is Jennifer’s “at a glan-ce” entertainment guide to a healthy holiday season:

* Power pack the party foods. Jennifer always pairs a few of her indulgent ho-liday favorites with low-fat, fiber-filled finger foods.

Weight Watchers calls the ingredients to these

recipes Power Foods because they offer

the best nutritional bang for your buck, and they’re filling, so you’ll stay sa-tisfied longer. They include

lean protein, fruit, veggies, whole gra-

ins and fat-free dairy. One of Jennifer’s fa-

vorites is layering a sliced cucumber with avocado, low-fat wasabi mayo and shrimp.

* Dress like a star. Ditch the baggy sweaters and stretchy pants. Get gor-geous for the party with that dress or skinny jeans that show off your best assets. Jennifer always likes to wear something tailored because it helps her feel confident.

* Chill out with some steamy drinks. Create a hot beverage bar with a va-riety of light holiday favorites such as apple cider, lattes and flavorful teas. Let your guests create customized concoctions by stocking up on fat-free whipped toppings, sugar-free syrups and rich spices.

* Cut the rug - and some calories! Par-ties don’t have to be all about consu-ming calories. Look for fun ways to burn calories, too. Dancing is not only a great cardiovascular work-out, but it’s also an easy way to inject instant entertainment into your party and help guest intermingle.

As the party winds down, get a head start on the clean-up effort and send your final guests home with the remai-ning holiday goodies. This will serve as your party favor to help avoid being faced with those lingering leftovers, and will give you more time to start planning your next healthy gathering with family and friends.

The new year is a great time to make some resolu-tions to keep your skin, hair and nails healthy. Your dermatologist can help you with these resolutions. Dermatolo-gists are medical doctors and surgeons who have extensive training, experi-ence, and passion for keeping skin, hair, and nails healthy throughout a person’s lifetime. Here are tips to keep you healthy looking from head to toe.

* Protect your skin from the sun. Help prevent signs of aging, such as age spots and fine lines, as well as limit your risk of developing skin cancer by using sunscreen, wear-ing protective clothing (a long-sleeved shirt, pants, wide-brimmed hat, sun-glasses) and seeking shade when appropriate. Choose a sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of at least 30 and broad-spectrum protection (pro-tects against ultraviolet A and ultraviolet B rays).

* Do not use tanning beds. Ultraviolet light from the sun and tanning beds can cause skin cancer and wrinkling. If you want to look like you’ve been in the sun, consider using a sunless self-tanning prod-uct (such as a lotion, foam or spray), but continue to use sunscreen with it.

other healthy foods can lead to healthier skin. Be sure to include some lean pro-tein in your diet. Your skin is made of protein, so some protein is necessary for healthy skin.

* If your skin feels dry, moisturize. After bathing is the best time to moisturize so that you can trap water in the skin. If your skin still feels dry with regular moisturizing after bathing, apply mois-turizer a few times throughout the day.

* Stop smoking. People who smoke ex-pose their skin to toxins that accelerate the aging of their skin. And, the repeat puckering to inhale can cause deep lines around the lips. Frequent squinting to avoid getting smoke in one’s eyes can cause noticeable crow’s feet.

* Perform a skin self-exam. Examining your skin for suspicious moles and other lesions could save your life. Use the American Academy of Dermatology’s body mole map, located at www.aad.org, to record your moles and learn how to perform a proper skin exam. If you find a suspicious lesion, make an appoint-ment to see a dermatologist.

* Don’t skip the hair conditioner. Dermatologists recommend using a conditioner after every shampoo. While a conditioner cannot repair hair, it can increase shine, decrease static electric-ity, improve strength, and offer some protection from harmful UV rays.

* Eat a healthy diet. A diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and

Page 15: On Point: Nikki

* Manage stress. To keep your skin look-ing its best, it is important to effectively manage stress. Chronic stress can wreak havoc on your skin, hair and nails. It can worsen many skin conditions, including psoriasis, acne and rosacea, cause brittle nails and ridging of the nails, and lead to hair loss.

* Don’t bite your fingernails. You can transfer infectious organisms between your fingers and mouth. Also, nail bit-ing can damage the skin around your fingers, allowing infections to enter.

* If you have acne, do not pick, pop, or squeeze the blemishes. People mistak-enly believe that picking and popping pimples will get rid of them quickly. The truth is doing any of these can irritate the skin, make acne worse, and increase

the risk of scarring.

* The American Academy of Dermatol-ogy has additional tips for choosing the right doctor for your cosmetic proce-dure. There are a growing number of non-physicians and other doctors per-forming cosmetic surgery outside their scope of training. To protect your health and safety, find a doctor who specializes in the specific procedure you are con-sidering. Board-certified dermatologists have the medical and surgical education and experience to perform cosmetic surgery and have pioneered many advances in cosmetic surgery, including tumescent liposuction, laser surgery and hair transplantation.

For many professionals, life in a cubicle is a thing of the past. Going into work could very well mean taking a stroll down the hall to your home office or heading to the coffee shop down

the street. Employers are even moving past the cube-and-office model, and instead incorporat-ing more common areas and ad-hoc spaces that promote collaboration and flexibility. Today’s technology allows employees to jump into a teleconference from anywhere at a mo-ment’s notice from wherever they may be, and access work documents from anywhere they can find an Internet connection. Those working from home can be responding to emails and organizing their schedules while those heading into the office might be stuck in traffic. Companies - and those who are self-employed - are figuring out how working smarter through technology can benefit both employees and bot-tom lines. But for those who are used to work-

ing in a traditional office environment, there are a few things you can do to make sure you are working at peak efficiency in your flexible work environment. Mobile working experts from Plantronics, which offers a variety of products to help people adapt to this new way of working, offer these tips: * Integrate your communications system. While every cubicle is usually outfitted with an office phone, it isn’t necessarily needed in your home office anymore. With Skype, Microsoft Lync and other tools that allow you to use your computer as a phone, you can operate everything you need from one device - not to mention save on long-distance charges or cellphone usage. Plan-tronics offers a number of mobile headsets that provide superior audio quality that can be run through your phone and computer at the same time - all while keeping your hands free to pull up anything you might need on your computer while you chat.
