The beauty doesn’t stop there, though. Southern Influence has joined forces with Rockin’ Hot Models of South Carolina in an effort to find the best spokesmodels in the Southeast.

Selected models will get the opportunity to participate in paid and/or career-enhancing projects throughout the Southeast.

This is not an agency. We do not collect commissions from the models. This is a mutual promotion opportunity.

NGL’s own Carol Cottrill has done it again, revealing secrets to eating happy and staying healthy. Her new book, “The French Twist”, which shows us how decadent eating doesn’t have to ruin our diet or make us fat, is now available!

Here is what Carol has to say about the book, straight from her site at CarolCottrill.com

“Start with the truths behind the French Paradox and French Women Don’t Get Fat:

• The French are a lot slimmer than Americans
• They enjoy great food
• They don’t diet or exercise like crazy

But go deeper, keeping in mind that the obesity crisis in America is, well, getting larger . . . Add a responsible, holistic look at what Americans can learn from the French, written by a wise and funny nutritionist . . . And you have a book that is a major contribution to our efforts, as individuals and as a nation, to eat in a way that’s sensible, enjoyable and healthy—the French way.

With wit and wisdom, The French Twistexplores the French attitudes of reverence and respect for food and dining. Based on the author’s desire to take the American obsession with weight and fitness in a new direction, it exposes the shortcomings of quick-fix fad diets, encourages us to examine our connections to food and asks us to reject the idea that to lose weight we must eat less and exercise more.

Carol Cottrill offers practical, doable advice based on commonsense values. Among the secrets her book reveals are the importance of eating authentic, high-quality food and the role of pleasure and balance in proper nutrition and successful weight management.

Embellished with clever and apt advice from experts—from Gandhi to Miss Piggy—The French Twist is sprinkled with intriguing snippets, including how to buy a baguette, judge a well-sized serving and enjoy a piece of chocolate, plus the addresses of the finest Parisian boulangeries, chocolatiers and cheese purveyors. Throughout, the French approach is validated by small doses of up-to-date science on the psychology of eating.

Carol Cottrill, CNC, has unraveled America’s unhealthy preoccupation with food and exercise. In pursuing her specialty, healthy weight management, she targets the disordered eating that results from our obsession with being thin. Carol divides her time between Manhattan and central Florida, counseling clients from the worlds of fashion, music, medicine and business. An industry expert for Dr. Mehmet Oz’s interactive Q&A platform, Sharecare.com, she is also a regular contributor to The Daily Buzz and BodyChecklist.com.”
