Winter Hydration

If you are like me, you feel that all of the moisture has
been sucked right out of your body! Your skin is dry and
itchy and your lips are parched and flaky. So attractive.
The most beautiful thing about us women is our skin. Healthy
skin is what makes us look young and vibrant. During these
long winter months, take extra time each day to moisurize.
Here are some tips.
*bathe is warm-not hot-water-use moisturizing body wash
*apply a lotion or body butter while skin is still damp
*re-apply to hands after washing through out the day
*keep lips covered in a lip moisturizer...chapstick!
*drink tons of water!!
*apply lotion to hands and feet before bed and cover with socks
*apply conditioner to hair and wrap in a warm towel for 30 minutes
or even sleep with it on.

Monday Blues

Yes, it is Monday and for some of you that means it is the day you
are going to start exercising and for others it is the day to skip because
it is MONDAY:(  Well, putting it off is how we get ourselves into these
moods in the first place! If you haven't already, get up after dinner and
get in a workout! Get on that treadmill or do situps and lunges. It doesn't
matter...just get started. You will thank me tomorrow!!

Inspiration

We all are looking for that one person or thing that will inspire us to make
the best decisions about our body and looks. We hope to find that miracle
product that will make us irresistable! Sorry to say, but that product does
not exist. Inspiration does however! I hope by following my blog you will
find the inspiration you are looking for. Chances are, if its out there, I have
tried it! As I get more involved with my blogging, I plan to bring you great
tips to help you become the best you! Recently I read the book "Chicken
Soup for the Soul, Shaping the New You". This is a great book and helps
you to realize you are not the only one struggling with body issues! I highly
recommend this great read!
Tip for the day: Never go to bed with your makeup on! Take 5 minutes each
night and wash your face. Then apply a moisturizing facial self tanning lotion.
You will start the next day with a light tan and feel great!! Especially during
these winter months. Having some healthy color is a great thing!

Be Positive!

Ok Ladies...I know you have all made that new year resolution, now stick to it!
It's almost lunch time! Plan ahead, make sure you are including a veggie with
lunch and dinner daily! Don't allow yourself to give into that temptation of
fried foods or junk! You know you will regret it later. Keep your goal in
mind and stay positive! Also, take an extra 5 minutes after your lunch to
go for a quick walk or do some squats. I have faith in all of you!
