5 HEALTHIEST SUMMER DRINKS WE LOVE

1. Green tea originates from China and has become associated with many cultures in Asia from Japan and South Korea to the Middle East. Green Tea has plenty of health benefits:regular green tea drinkers have lower chances of heart disease and of developing certain types of cancer. Green tea doesn't produce immediate weight loss, but helps to speed up your metabolism, and stimulate fat oxidation.

2. Fruit Smoothies! CHIC FAVORITE IS STRAWBERRY BANANA: 1 banana, 5-8 strawberries, some lime juice, ice cubes. Have fun by mixing up different fruits with ice, or skim milk.

3. Carrot Juice is an excellent source of vitamins A, C. Pure carrot juice is a very low calorie drink. Eight fluid ounces of the beverage are only 80 calories and it's the best nutritional supplement for dieters!!

4. The energizing effect of the coffee bean was discovered in the northeast region of Ethiopia, and the cultivation of coffee first expanded in the Arab world. From the Muslim world, coffee spread to Italy, then to the rest of Europe, to Indonesia, and to the Americas. Organic black coffee contains a great deal of health benefits: reduces the risk of diabetes and cancer, boosts your mood, energy level, improves the concentration and it contains.....no calories!!!

5. Iced Water is the best drink to keep yourself on top!! The Institute of Medicine suggests women drink 9 cups a day. If you exercise, you'll need to drink extra water to compensate for that fluid loss. Water prevents heart diseases, depression, sleep disorders, lack of energy. Don't forget to hydrate your body and skin properly!

Moroccan Oil Treatment

Moroccan Oil is a great treatment which revives and strengthens your hair. Every night Fergie removes her extensions and applies Moroccan oil, puts her hair in a bun and leaves the treatment overnight. In the morning, Fergie shampoos the oil out. That's how the star achieves soft, shiny and healthy look!!

Fergie always uses dry shampoo which helps her hair stay fresh and light!!

ICON Emma Watson

We first knew Emma Watson as Hermione. She was cast for that role at the age of nine, having previously acted only in school plays. It had been a long transformation before we saw her beautiful, sophisticated style.

Watson's first non-Potter role was the 2007 BBC drama Ballet Shoes, and she was perfect for the starring role of aspiring actress Pauline. Emma confirmed she would star in a film adaptation of The Perks of Being a Wallflower in summer 2011.

Emma is only 21 years old and she has become the face of her generation: she is a well known actress and model all over the world. She is famous for her brilliant fashion sense and elegant style.

Emma looked extremely beautiful at the premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 on Thursday. The actress was wearing Oscar de la Renta dress, followed by a shimmering Elie Saab gown. Which one do you like the best?



"I've been focusing on art a lot, and fashion's a great extension of that."

Emma is chosen to be the face of Burberry campaign, and brings a fresh spirit to Lancôme...She appears in tabloids such as You magazine, Heat Magazine, Teen Vogue, Cosmopolitan, and People.
