The Tano Lifestyle

                                            (Photo credit: Epicmag.org ) Most of us could use more vegetables in our life. Some days I find it hard to get in my daily requirement. My problem is the boredom and blandness of most vegetables. I love eggs and I love a good breakfast quiche, but I wanted something that was more "to go" and serving size ready. The great thing about making vegetable muffins is they're convenient and you can keep them in the freezer for later. Here are my top 5 favorite vegetable muffin recipes. You can swap out any of the vegetables and cheeses for whichever you prefer.  Spinach And Mushroom Egg Muffins                                                    (Photo credit: Kaynutrition.com ) These babies are only 100 calories per serving and pack a punch of protein that will get you moving all day long.  Ingredients (makes 12): 12 eggs 3/4 cup feta 1 cup baby spinach (chopped) 1 cup mushrooms (diced) 1/2 cup fresh basil salt & pepper to taste How

                                 (Photo credit: Healthmagazine.ae ) I've always wanted to try the raw food diet but was scared that it would be hard to follow and too restrictive. It was a trendsetter many years ago when Demi Moore came out endorsing the diet and is making a comeback in 2021. The idea behind the raw food diet is that foods lose their nutrients and natural enzymes when cooked, processed, genetically engineered, and microwaved. Loyal followers of the raw food diet claim weight loss, an increase in overall energy, and improvement of certain chronic diseases.  How Does The Raw Food Diet Work? So the big question is, what is considered raw? Foods are considered raw if they haven't been heated over 104-118 degrees Fahrenheit. The food must also never be processed, pasteurized, or genetically treated in any way. You can prepare your raw food by juicing, dehydrating, soaking, blending, or sprouting. People lose weight on the raw food diet because you're typically c

Rhinoplasty is one of the most requested cosmetic procedures in the United States, but it's scary to think that someone is going to permanently alter the center of your face. If you're hesitant about going under the knife, you have non-surgical nose job options that are becoming the latest trend.  What Is The Liquid Nose Job? The liquid nose job is so appealing because you see results immediately with no downtime. The procedure involves injectable fillers that not only bring the cost down but give you a more natural look. A liquid nose job is not for everyone. It's intended for those who want to add to their nose instead of shorten the length or make the width smaller. Surprisingly, injectable fillers can create the illusion of a new shape to your nose. Here is what a liquid nose job can correc

The most popular dental procedure amongst them is veneers. Regular teeth whitening treatments at your dentist's office is definitely not the same. Not only will veneers give you that paper-white smile, but they can also camouflage flaws and correct chipped or cracked teeth. Let's be honest, porcelain veneers aren't cheap. Some dentists charge $1,000-$4,000 per tooth which can run you in upwards of $30,000 for a full mouth. So we wonder, will my insurance cover some of it? Are there payment plans available? Are there any alternatives? I don't know anyone that wouldn't want a perfect smile, but are veneers out of reach for us mere mortals?  It can be completely frustrating when you've been trying for years to get the whitest smile possible. I've used the Crest Whitestrips reli

I've had lip filler in the past in the form of Juvederm several times, but I never got the perfect pout that I wanted. My side profile also looked ridiculous. It was more of the duck look that you often see. When I saw the pictures of the Russian doll technique, I noticed the upper lip is more lifted to create that pout and I had to learn more.  What Is The Russian Doll Technique?                                                       (Photo credit: The Look By Louise ) The Russian doll technique adds volume to the body of your lips without the filler migrating above your lip (hence avoiding the duck look). Your physician applies small droplets of filler that are injected vertically instead of in the lines directly at the border of your lips. This Russian doll technique lifts, opens and widens the body of your lips.

They're packed with healthy omega-3 fatty acids making them essential for heart health. They're also high in protein, iron, calcium, and potassium. If you can't stomach eating them straight from the can, here are 5 ways you can enjoy sardines that will help mask the fishy smell and flavor.  1. On Toast Or Crackers With Spicy Mustard You can make this as a snack but for me, it's a meal in itself. I like to use Triscuits or Wasa crackers with a light spread of Dijon spicy mustard. I then layer a thin slice of red onion, tomato, 1/2 of a sardine, and squeeze fresh lemon on top.   2.

There's no injection of toxins or dermal fillers. Ultherapy stimulates the production of your own elastin and collagen giving you a natural result. What Does Ultherapy Do? Ultherapy is an FDA approved cosmetic procedure used to tighten and lift loose skin. Ultherapy is so appealing because it strengthens the skin from the inside out without requiring surgery. Most people see results after just one treatment. As the weeks go by, the skin becomes rejuvenated and more refreshed looking. Ultherapy is an excellent option for those who have hooded eyes. It can lift the brow making the eyes appear more open withou
