Your body nerves, tissues, bones all are made up of proteins. So proteins become very necessary for them to grow and repair.

Loving you in red!

 Palette 2 Palate is loving red this month for many reasons! Red fashions always makes a women's warbore pop. It's a very sexy color to wear that looks well with all skin tones. Palette 2 Palate most important reason to Go Red this month is to help fight heart disease. The Go Red for women campaign movement celebrates the energy, passion and power we have as women to band together to wipe out heart disease the #1 killer in women. The Go Red for women works to make sure to educate women that they are at risk so they can take action to protect their health. Here are some ways to Go Red with style, how about this perfect red scarlet jacquard dress for that perfect Valentine dates. You will sure get your date's heart pumping with your hottness!

While love keeps flowing this Valentine day keep the fabulous fashions flowing as well with this flare red print silk blouse by Emilio Pucci. Be carefully not to blow the wind off someone as you walk by looking so chic and stylish.

And of course if you're wearing red than you should be eating your red fruits and vegetables like delicious Strawberries. Strawberries are super high in Vitamin C which acts as an antioxidant, meaning it helps reduce damage to cell caused by oxidation. Cellular damage can lead to certain diseases. Humans do not have the ability to procude Vitamin C so we must obtain it though the foods we eat in our diet. So ladies eat up your Strawberries they are also fantastic for healthy skin, to keep you looking fabulous this spring!

This Payton Stripe Cardigan will keep you cozy and stylish indoors or out. When people lay eyes on you they will think WOW! Fall never looked so good!

If you're rocking the harvest looks you should be eating some of the seasonal fruits like Persimmons.  Reasons to eat this wonderful harvest fruit are many. They are a great source of fiber.  One medium persimmon gives you up to 6 grams of fiber. They are also high in Vitamins A and C which are both great for the skin, healing wounds and boosting the immune system. There are two kinds of Persimmons. One is Fuyu which looks like a minuture pumpkin and has a crunchy texture. The other is Hachiya which has an acorn shape and must be ripe when eaten, otherwise, it will be too bitter to swallow.

Honeysuckle Pink

Honeysuckle Pink is rocking all the seasons of the year so far, and it's not stopping for fall!  It's definitely the color of the year!  Add this fiery pink hue to your wardrobe and it will not only make you feel fabulous, it will uplift everyone's mood around you.  Case in point?  This Kate Spade New York 'cherie' wool coat in snapdragon pink.  They call it snapdragon, we call honeysuckle.  Potato, Potahto.  This vibrant color adds the "wow" factor to your wardrobe.

 

World-famous designer Karl Lagerfeld had this color on his mind when he designed this amazing short sleeve Ponte Pink Vest dress for Impulse available at Macy's.
 

Color blocking is another big trend this year, keep it going this fall and color block your pinks. That means you can mix and match and combine solid, bold colors.  Check out these beautiful, delicate silk pink blouses. I especially love the bow tie blouse, another must-have this fall.

If you're wearing Honeysuckle Pink, Honey, then try eating the fiery pink meat of the dragonfruit.  Check out all the benefits below.
