Eva Longoria’s Beauty Tip
Eva Longoria’s Beauty Tip
With the constant pressure on celebrities to always look their best, Hollywood is always in search of the next “fountain of youth.” But Eva Longoria says it’s much simpler than all of that.
The Desperate Housewives star has revealed her personal prescription for looking her best… happiness, health, and exercise. And while it sounds too easy to work, Eva swears by it.
She recently told press, “I think it’s a combination of a lot of things. It’s obviously emotional health. And it’s obviously your physical health, but there’s a lot of maintenance involved, and I’m not talking about anti-ageing. I’m just talking about general health, getting your checkups and getting your blood tests and making sure you get your mammograms.”
And rather than complicated chemical peels, Longoria opts for the normal, everyday facial. “For me, as far as skin is concerned, I’m a big advocate of facials. And, I moisturise. And, I read my magazines. I listen to good advice from people who really know, and I try to watch what I eat. But, it’s diet. It’s exercise. It’s maintenance. It’s checkups. It’s attitude. It’s a lot of things. And, I think you just need to be aware of what’s going to work for you.”
As far as emotional health, Eva says keeping yourself centered goes a long way in the appearance department. Your body is a vehicle of your emotions and a vehicle of feelings and a vehicle of whatever you need to get done in life. And, you’ve got to take care of that vehicle.”
39 Years of Roger Ebert, One Year Without
Even though we might not always agree, we’ve always loved reading Roger Ebert’s reviews. As you know Roger underwent surgery for to remove a cancerous growth on his salivary gland last June, and has been absent ever since. Sure, he came back and wrote a couple small reviews, and made some bad oscar predictions (but he’s not in 100% capacity, so we can’t blame him), but for the most part he has disappeared. He didn’t even make the trip to Sundance this year.
Today marks Roger’s 40th anniversary with the Chicago Sun-Times. And what better time than ever for the critic to check in and give us a much needed update:
Nine months ago I was leaving Northwestern Memorial hospital after surgery for salivary cancer. I was planning to be back in action in a few weeks, but unfortunately, there were complications, and more medical procedures resulted. I was in bed so long that I experienced serious deconditioning that led to a stint at the famous Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago.
I began my rehabilitation there, and I am continuing it, along with an overhaul of my general health, at the Pritikin Center in Florida. Also, because of a tracheostomy, my speaking voice is on hold until my upcoming completion surgery. I am feeling better every day and my wife Chaz says we can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Ebert goes on to say that his Ninth Annual Overlooked Film Festival will be held as scheduled at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign April 25-29.
I’ll be there, but friends and colleagues will take over the onstage Q&A duties. I’ll watch from the audience. I think of the festival as the first step on my return to action. Because I will be under scrutiny there, I’ll tell you what to expect: a sick guy, getting better, who still loves the movies and the festival.
This has been a long and unexpected ordeal, made better by many kind and gifted doctors and nurses, led by the incomparable Dr. Harold Pelzer and Dr. Robert Havey, and above all by the selfless and loving care of my wife, Chaz.
I plan to gradually increase my duties in the months to come. I still love writing about the movies. Forty years is not enough.
We’re glad to hear it.
