Number 1, Marilyn Monroe
Marilyn Monroe was arguably as famed for her radiant Hollywood glow as she was for her flirtatious on-screen presence. One of her tips, as she confided to Pageant magazine in 1952, was to heat up a glass of milk, add two raw eggs, stir it up with a fork, and then drink this sort of milkshake while getting dressed in the mornings.
Number 2, Sophia Loren
Italian screen siren Sophia Loren was stunningly beautiful in her 1960s hay-day, and still is today. The secret to her silky smooth skin is simply olive oil. Now we know where J.Lo got the idea from! Every time she takes a bath, she adds a few drops of olive oil to the water in order to hydrate the skin all over her body.
Number 3, Audrey Hepburn
This actress always wore very neutral makeup, but she liked to emphasize her eyes with thick (but well-manicured) eyebrows and stand-out eyelashes. Hepburn was not the biggest fan of using makeup to achieve a flawless complexion. To maintain her fresh and glowing skin, the actress used an at-home steam facial at least twice a week.
Number 4, Elizabeth Taylor
Elizabeth Taylor always presented as a graceful diva. She is best known for her iconic eye makeup. Specifically, she used a cake eyeliner, a product not too common at makeup counters today, but can easily be substituted with any matte gray eyeliner to help you get her bold and sultry look.
Number 5, Grace Kelly
Grace Kelly’s minimalist chic style has earned her a reputation for being one of the most classic beauties of all time. Instead of harsh lines and color, she chose neutral shades that subtly enhanced her natural features.
Number 6, Joan Crawford
American actress Joan Crawford didn’t use fancy products to keep her legendary face smooth and taut – she chewed gum in the belief that it firmed up her jawline and helped drain the toxins from under her chin.
Number 7, Katharine Hepburn
Katherine Hepburn was known for her natural beauty and flawless complexion. A strong-willed actress, Katherine Hepburn had very much her own style - natural, minimalist and slightly androgynous. She would use a mixture of sugar, a tiny amount of warm water and a squeeze of lemon juice on her skin and followed up with a splash of ice-cold water.
Number 8, Jane Russell
The secret to Jane Russell’s sexy signature style was simple, she always matched her lipstick to her nail polish. Jane said. “I still use black mascara and brown eyebrow pencil. There, is only one shade of brown for me, even now. That is walnut.
Number 9, Jean Harlow
She lightened her hair with a potent mixture of peroxide, ammonia and Lux Flakes (an old-fashioned washing powder). Jean’s eyebrows were high, narrow and very arched. Jean removed all but the faintest wisp of brow hair, over which she penciled in her look each morning using a finely pointed eyebrow pencil. She believed the high brows enlarged her eyes and gave her more sex appeal.
Number 10, Coco Chanel
Coco famously said, A woman who doesn’t wear perfume has no future. She believed in the importance of a lasting impression and finding a soul-defining signature scent.
As always there's quite a bit of conflicting information out there about how to break a fast. One thing everyone agrees on is that the fast needs to broken slowly and gently. You also need several days to go back to eating normally. For example, if you do a 7 day fast, you need about 3 days of refeeding. On a 10 day fast, you'll need 4-5 days and so on. How you break the fast will make or break the whole experience. If you go right back to your old way of eating, you can easily negate all the benefits of your fast.

Since my goal is to remain in ketosis, I will be taking a different approach. I will be eating protein, fat and some low-carb veggies, bone broth and lots of water.
