Not only was she once named the most beautiful woman in the Universe, but she is the brand ambassador for some of Australia's biggest brands. After being crowned Miss Universe in 2004 she signed a 4 million dollar deal to be the brand ambassador for Myer - Australia's leading department store. Myer's autumn beauty campaign features Jennifer wearing sexy 1940's inspired Femme Fatale makeup. The look features dark smokey eyes with sultry red lips.

A Little Sparkle.
Jennifer sparkles in her new TV commercial for Mount Franklin Lightly Sparkling Water. Filmed in Sydney CBD, a beautiful beach in Western Australia and a rainforest, this captivating ad features Jennifer wearing a stunning custom-made Toni Maticevski gown and a one of a kind Cozi by Jennifer Hawkins bikini. Jennifer sizzles in this mesmerising campaign promoting Mount Franklin's newest product; Lightly Sparkling. 




Jennifer says drinking water is an important part of her beauty routine. 
“Working with Mount Franklin Lightly Sparkling will be a new adventure for me. I am looking forward to working with such dynamic brand and product. Hydration is such an important part of my beauty regime and I just love the taste of Mount Franklin Lightly Sparkling. It is a great natural and healthy beverage option. ”


 


Mount Franklin Lightly Sparkling commercial featuring Jennifer Hawkins:


Beauty comes from within. 
Jennifer's brand endorsements also include Covergirl, Lovable lingerie, Lux, and most recently  she became the official ambassador for Bioglan promoting their Super Fish Oil and Women's Multi supplements. 
"I take supplements - flaxseed oil, fish oil and B vitamins to help me keep that glow in my skin. I also take ginseng in stressful times as it helps me keep on top of things. Getting enough sleep also makes a big difference - it's free and easy." 


 


Jennifer explains, "Looking and feeling healthy are up-most importance to me and I am delighted to be an Ambassador for brands that I know and trust. I am a great believer that drinking lots of water, supplementing my diet with vitamins and moisturising regularly, are daily rituals that are key ingredients to a healthy life, so this partnership with Bioglan is a natural fit for me." 

She has graced the cover of magazines such as Cleo, Maxim, Harper's Bazaar,  Cosmopolitan, Grazia, and Who Weekly. Jennifer also appeared naked and un-retouched on the cover of Marie Claire in February 2010 encouraging positive body image to support the Butterfly Foundation. 

Body Beautiful.
In 2008 Jennifer launched her signature range of bikinis - Cozi by Jennifer Hawkins. Her sexy range of swimwear is available through Myer stores Australia wide. 
"It has been a dream to have my own label. I was already working with Myer and they were very keen about my idea, so now it's exclusively available at Myer. It's something I'm very passionate about."



Jennifer says that the Cozi girl is a beach girl. "I love everything to do with the beach. I now live by it in Sydney  and have grown up near it in Newcastle, so there's a bit of me in the range. But really there's something for everyone. When it comes to the shapes and sizes, I listen to feedback from both my friends and family and wear/test everything."

Jennifer keeps her trim bikini ready body by eating healthy foods and she says "I don't diet." 
"I do eat really healthily and that has come from learning along the way. As I've got older I've learned what agrees with me and what doesn't, and now I know what I should be eating. Dairy foods deplete my energy, so I just have soy milk. Some of my favourite foods are broccoli, avocado, tahini and salmon. They are all healthy, but they are also really delicious. I have always - eaten healthily - not only because I need to for work, but also for my own wellbeing." 

Since becoming the face of Myer many years ago, Jennifer has become an Aussie style icon. She rocked bold colour at the recent TV Week Logie Awards in a stunning turquoise gown by Toni Maticevski and a stylish orange and gold Pucci clutch. Paired with sexy heels in this season's hottest colour tangerine. 




Whether she is gracing the cover of a magazine, strutting down the red carpet or splashing in the ocean in a Cozi bikini, Jennifer inspires a healthy positive body image and proves that beauty truly does come from within.  


 This is our featured cover story from April 2012 Eco Glamazine.

Once in a Blue Moon

Friends here in Florida will occasionally hear me mention a craving for Blue Moon ice cream. "What is that? A new brand?", they ask. "No, it's not a brand", I answer. "It's a flavor." "I've never heard of it", they'll say. "What does it taste like" To which I always have to reply, "I...don't know."
Blue Moon ice cream is (or at least was, when I was growing up) a pretty common staple just about anywhere that sells hard ice cream in the midwest. But anywhere else, you won't find it or people who've ever even heard of it. I haven't been back to Michigan in about 20 years so I haven't had Blue Moon since then and I've missed it somnething awful.
I clearly remember the taste but I can't for the life of me describe it to anybody. I found an article on the intenet that says it tastes like Fruit Loops breakfast cereal. I guess I can't say that's wrong but I don't think it's right either. the color certainly doesn't bear any resemblance to the red, orange and yellow you find in Fruit Loops. It's a blue that looks like the color commonly used in the road uniforms of American League baseball teams in the '70s, a time when I accumulated the vast majority of my beloved baseball card collection (which I still have). That might actually be a factor in my fondness for it.
Anyway, if you have a powerful enough childhood memory and access to the internet, you can find anything. And often, what you're looking for is closer than you would have guessed. In this case, I found out that Blue Moon ice cream is available at the Kilwin's on St. Armand's Circle in Sarasota, just over an hour away. They're open until 11pm and the other night I called my friend at 8 o'clock at night.
"Let's go to Sarasota."
"What? Tonight?"
"Yeah, I want ice cream. Let's go."
"Let's just go to Bo's."
"Bo's is great, but Bo's doesn't have Blue Moon. Kilwin's in Sarasota does. Let's go!"
"Dude, is that the ice cream you're always talking about that looks like baseball uniforms?"
"Yes! Come on!"
She convinced me that that was...how did she put it?...crazy, and promised if I'd wait until Saturday, she would ride down with me to get some.
Saturday afternoon we headed down and ate lunch at Yoder's, a great Amish restaurant in Sarasota. This almost proved a critical error in judgment because Amish people apparently think everybody works hard and needs to eat like a farmer to maintain their strength. We waddled out almost too full for ice cream. Not that I would have been deterred; by now I was obsessed with Blue Moon ice cream and nothing as minor as a full-to-bursting stomach was going to keep me from having it.
We headed out to St. Armand's, which was packed, but a car pulled out of a parking space right across the street from Kilwin's just as we pulled up. I took this a sign from above that this was truly meant to be. We got out and my friend was asking me something about what I would do if it didn't live up to my expectations. I didn't hear her as she was in front of me and I had shoved her into some bushes to get her out of my way. Giggling in anticipation, I then ran out into traffic where I may or may not have been hit by a truck (I honestly don't recall). I ran inside and went right to the cooler. I am now convinced that what was in the briefcase in "Pulp Fiction" was some Blue Moon ice cream. I asked for a cup and took a spoon full of that powder blue goodness into my mouth.
And it was just as good as I had built it up to be.
And I still have no idea what it tastes like.

Drinking water fights sugar, salt, and fat


The body needs to get rid of all the junk that you put into it: additives, excess sugar, salt, fat, and all the toxins that are products of these. Drinking water helps the body to cleanse itself from this junk. There is plenty of sodium in processed food and it makes you bloated. Drinking water helps to dissolve the excess sodium and expel it from the body.

Most people consume too much sugar

National "'Like' us on Facebook" Day!

Wednesday, May 2, 2012
If you've ever uttered the phrase "Have a nice day" to someone, chances are you didn't mean it. Not that you wanted them to have a bad day, but you really didn't care one way or the other. It was just a way to end a conversation pleasantly without investing any REAL emoti...on (or even thought, for that matter). Or maybe you were angry and DID want them to have a crappy day and you used the phrase sarcastically, as a way of telling them to bug off. Either way, the phrase doesn't mean what it says and the only purpose it serves is as a kind of conversational punctuation mark.



As you're well aware, Facebook has rendered the word 'Like' meaningless as well. It's just a way to show you know about something. You don't have to actually LIKE something to 'Like' it. You just have to acknowledge it exists. They just want you to click that button to drive up an imaginary aggregate popularity index (they've probably been led to believe that number is somehow important for marketing purposes, although they don't really know why) and move on. Whether it's some jerk with a blog you don't read (ahem) or some company's web site where you go to complain about their products and/or service...because you can't reach a human being on the telephone..., at some point they're going to ask you to "'Like' us on Facebook!"


The object of National "'Like' us on Facebook!" Day is to point out the silliness of empty, meaningless things people say by replacing the empty and meaningless phrase "Have a nice day!" with the empty and meaningless phrase "'Like' us on Facebook!". Your mission is to say this as much as possible, with everyone you encounter all day long. "But I don't have anything to promote on Facebook", you say. That's perfect! What better way to illustrate that a phrase means nothing than by applying it to nothing?


Ideally, chaos, or at least mild confusion...and eventually hilarity...will ensue.


Invite your friends, have fun and 'Like' us on Facebook!

What's in YOUR wallet?

I'm a big fan of the personal organizer. They're binders with calendars, phone directories and other stuff you can use to keep your affairs in order. They're like the precursor to smart phones and "apps". They're made by Franklin Covey or Dayrunner and you can get them anywhere that sells office supplies. Mine is a Dayrunner and I've had it since the early '90s. This is a picture of it:

Might be time to buy a new one.
It sort of looks like it's been through a war, doesn't it? In ways, it kind of has. But it's very dependable and with my penchant for over-scheduling myself, I can't imagine my life being on track in any way, shape or form without it. I take it everywhere. I also carry all kinds of stuff in it and so some people think it's funny to call it a "murse", short for man-purse. I don't mind because, let's be honest, that's what it is. Yesterday I got around to cleaning it out and updating it for the first time in a while, something I've been meaning to do but just never got around to. My inventory of membership cards indicates that either the economy was worse than I realized or I need to sit down and go through my stuff more often...
Borders: Gone.
Gameworks: Gone.
Albertson's: Gone.
Blockbuster: Maybe not gone but definitely forgotten. I have no idea where one near me is. They used to have stores all over the place but now the business with a blue and yellow awning that's on every other street corner is Amscot.

But it wasn't a complete purge. I also found some gift cards that I was pretty sure I'd barbecued but had hung on to for some reason. I checked the balances and here's what I found:

  • Red Lobster ..... $5.26
  • McDonalds ..... $0
  • 7-Eleven ..... $2.12
  • Vanilla Visa ..... $3.33 (I accepted this as payment for a $30 fare during my cab driving days. I could have gotten ripped off but I took a chance and it had a whole $50 on it! That was a good night.)
  • Another McDonald's ..... $0
  • Long John Silver's ..... $2.56
  • Another 7-Eleven ..... $1.82 (Hey, I can combine the 7-Elevens and buy a gallon of gas!)
  • Starbucks ..... $1.67
  • Yet another McDonald's ..... $0  (don't judge me)

So while I'm sad that so many well-established corporate entities either weren't equipped to adapt to changing business climates or weren't prepared to weather a severe economic downturn, I'm thrilled to have found $16.76 I didn't know I had.
Win some, lose some, I guess.

More sexism in advertising (local edition)

You don't have to be a big, internationally known company like Belvedere Vodka to exploit women and sell your products. This billboard is located near the corner of Kennedy and Dale Mabry right here in Tampa...
Nope. In spite of what you might have thought, those are just models and not actual prostitutes. Sorry folks. Just clothes, not whores.

Bike riding female celebrities

Whether you're cycling for exercise or for fun, or employing pedal power for economic reasons, riding bikes is an increasingly popular pastime. Above left, Jessica Biel and right, Miley Cyrus, riding their bikes. Other female celebrities spotted riding bikes:

Left, Shenae Grimes remembers to lock her bike, and right, Kristen Bell cycling. In an interview with Self magazine, Kristen talks of

Fish Will Walk!

We as a society should take a second at some point to pat ourselves on the back for all the advances we've made in being sensitive and rational about things. There's still work to do but it does seem like we're chipping away at some of the stupidity that exists for stupidity's sake.
For example, stupid bureaucracy was still alive and well in the Carrollton, Ohio school district until recently. That's where Carrollton High senior Austin Fisher was being denied the privilege of participating in commencement ceremonies with his senior class because he had accrued 16 unexcused absences, two more than is allowed by district guidelines. The reason he missed those 16 days is because he was caring for his mother who is battling breast cancer. As the only other member of their household, Austin had to take his mom to and from appointments and provide other care for her. When she became too sick to work, he took two part-time jobs to help with expenses. The school district initially said that's nice, but, well, sorry kid, rules is rules. But after an online awareness campaign, including the obligatory Facebook group, brought national attention to the matter, somebody decided to take a look at the situation. A meeting was scheduled with Austin and his mom to discuss matters and afterward, the school district issued the following statement:

“Representatives from Carrollton Exempted Village School District had the opportunity to meet with Teresa and Austin Fisher earlier today (April 16). At that meeting, Teresa Fisher provided additional information to school administrators concerning Austin’s absences, which had not been previously provided to the district. Based on this new information and after careful consideration by school officials and the Board of Education, it was decided that Austin would be permitted to participate in commencement.


In the interest of all of Carrollton’s students, the District and Teresa Fisher ask that the community respect their decision and that everyone move forward. Carrollton Schools is a great place to work and learn and we do not want to be sidetracked from our mission of educating children.”


So, good job everybody! We're getting a little smarter every day!

(If this situation hadn't been resolved favorably, I would have posted all kinds of links to petitions and Facebook and whatnot. But since we don't have to worry about that now, I'll only post one, where you can make a donation to the American Cancer Society via Relay For Life. Thanks in advance!)
