The Florida Department of Citrus today released a video highlighting some of women’s most common unglamorous moments. The video, titled “Grapefruit Guide to Glamorous Moments (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIAF0Wx34B8),” was pulled from the “Grapefruit Guide to Glamorous Moment’s Poll” which sheds light on when women feel most pressured to look their best and how they prepare for key life events.
The value women place on looking good appears to be skin deep. According to the survey, three out of four American women age 25-54 feel it is most important to look their best for a job interview, while 69 percent said they want to look best for their “I do’s.” Other important moments calling for optimal beauty included: friends’ weddings (47 percent), a first date (45 percent) and class reunions (32 percent), followed by holiday parties and a night out, which tied (at 29 percent).

LiveWell Colorado (http://www.livewellcolorado.org), a non-profit organization committed to reducing obesity in Colorado by inspiring healthy eating and active living, last week launched a statewide campaign encouraging all Coloradoans to challenge each other and their communities to live well. Although Colorado still holds the title of “leanest state in America,” the percentage of overweight and obese citizens in the state is on the rise. LiveWell Colorado, led by a five-year strategic plan, is committed to fighting the obesity epidemic through consumer education and policy and environmental changes.
“Though Colorado ranks as the nation's leanest state, it's certainly not cause for celebration. The fact that nearly 19 percent of adults in our state are obese is cause for concern,” said Maren Stewart, president and CEO of LiveWell Colorado. “LiveWell Colorado is leading the way in challenging Colorado to become healthier.”
