A HAPPY NEW YEAR 2015

To All My Readers,

 Thank you so very much for a terrific 2014, and onward to 2015!
A toast!
So much to look forward to in 2015!

 I have been researching nutrition, and that field of health and wellness will grow by 21% in the next 10 years due to an aging population and increased health awareness and what we put in and on our bodies.

 Yes, I can say we actually wear what we eat and apply to our skin.  If I had more time, the fields of nutrition and health would be my areas of expertise for an advanced degree. There is so much data and available research, how could anyone really not want to sort through the myriad of choices we make every day to really learn what makes for an optimized, healthy and fit life? 

 Studying, learning and going back to university is a great option to be immersed in the data, the lab results, the deep research. Having valued professionals on hand is another great option to really sort out what is best for each person, and I cannot stress enough for you to continually do your own research, ask a lot of questions!

 As my heart is in publishing, I happily remain your publisher, and for 2015 plan to seek out those professionals for you to share their expert knowledge regarding nutrition and wellness with the ultimate goal in mind: beauty from the inside out. Special emphasis is definitely on nutrition and skincare, again, what we put in and on our bodies has such an impact on our overall wellness and well being.

 We do need nutrition, we do need skincare! AND, of course, we do need fitness, and as you know tennis is my platform for physical health.  

 I am also working on other areas of wellness and will be sharing a new professional affiliation of mine in the near future with Japanese company Nikken. I have signed on as a consultant and am thrilled to be a part of their network. Stay tuned for cutting edge data and articles in that new realm.

 I am truly so excited for the new year 2015, as each year progresses we do get better, and I am very happy to share all that knowledge with you and to have you along with me as I grow along with you. 

 Ultimately, the world advances as well, and for that we have the comfort of knowing that our efforts are worthwhile and fruitful.

 Really think about your own new year's resolution, I think you already know what mine is! To stay on track and offer the best advice and backed up data I can find for you, my Readers!

 Have a very Happy New Year 2015!

A CHRISTMAS CARD 2014

Dear Readers, 
A Christmas Card for YOU!
selfie, Christmas Eve
makeup NARS Laced with Edge
dress Adrianna Papell
Every year at this time it is such an honor to think of all our loved ones near and far, and how in such a wondrous way we all think of each other at the same time.

 Such a birthday party we all partake, and it is the holidays, the season, the birth of Jesus, the happy time that is so crucial to acknowledge, small or large, near or far, alone or with others. 

 We are all a part of the holidays, and that in and of itself is the greatest blessing, no matter our backgrounds.  

 Look around, you can see and feel that the Christmas season is a special time.  People on the sidewalks stand a certain way, as if hallmarked in their stance.  Pondering, respectful, in awe of what they may not know what.

 To be blessed with beauty in our lives, give, and keep giving.  It is those that give of themselves who will also receive. But give willingly, without recourse, with an open heart!

 The first day of Christmas is December 25th, and continues for twelve (12) days. So I write this card for you on the third day of Christmas, "...Three French Hens, Two Turtle Doves, and a Partridge in a Pear Tree."


Sit back, take a break, and enjoy your family, friends, loved ones, and those who reach out and need your help. Even those who are quiet, alone, send your prayers, quietly. God will know.

 And so I say to you, Dear Readers, thank you for your readership, your comments, your curiosity in reading my articles on beauty, tennis, lifestyle. I have some new content for 2015, cannot wait to share it with you! 

 Yet, how already as I write our new year is a mere aura of wonder; a blank palette of days that will fill shortly and then all too soon become filled back pages in my journal, as they draw nigh. The passing pages of time....

 The chill of winter, the frost on our windows, the depth of our snow, bring a quietude to our days and early nights, as winter is to be respected, understood, and appreciated while it promises our spring so fruitful and near.

 Thank you, Dear Readers, for being a part of FIT BEAUTY and YOU, have a very Merry Christmas, a joyous holiday season and a Happy New Year!

Try the effective Elizabeth Arden product, Lash + Brow Serum, there are many raving reviews, and I have it myself for LONGER lashes!!! 

RESULTS:  I have been using this product now for several weeks off and on, it is hard for me to do every night as my eyes are sensitive and need a rest, but alternating nights is fine for my sensitive eyes, and YES, I have noticed more healthy, longer lashes.  Not thickness, but definitely longer.  I did not use mascara for several weeks, yes girls, you can go without it!  AND, when I used some just gently, I definitely noticed my lashes were longer and strengthened. Much less brittle after a very cold winter :)

HOLIDAY SURVIVAL TIPS

THE HOLIDAYS ARE HERE !!!!!
image courtesy of the graphics fairy
RIGHT NOW:

 * Wear simple matching colored clothes, accent with jewelry for variety

 * Use dry shampoo for extra hair lift

 * Create a separate makeup bag for the next week with basic essentials~mascara, eyeliner,  eye primer, face primer, foundation, blush, eye & face makeup remover, a lipstick in your favorite shade

 * Use clear or light colored nail lacquer, you won't see any chips!

 *Have your utensils handy~ hair straightener, brush, eyelash curler !!

 The holidays are here, stay on schedule with your fitness and beauty routines!

 We have 4 1/2 weeks of holiday season beginning at Thanksgiving in the United States, which includes Hannukah, then Christmas, ending at New Years. If you follow the Roman Catholic calendar, add 3 more days to the Epiphany on January 4th. Either way, that is not much time to accomplish all that we plan!! 

STAY FIT!!

This year I have a plan: HOLIDAY SURVIVAL.  It will allow my fitness to continue, enjoy the holidays, and help others to the extent capable :) Plus, learn a little something extra, too!

 First, ADMIT that the holidays are a different time AND for everyone else around you, too.

 Second, CHANGE UP your routine. This is a must if you are to keep your fitness level as it is  today until the holidays conclude.

 Third, TAKE CONTROL NOW.  You can do this, just as I am right now as I write this!

 Here it is, HOLIDAY SURVIVAL -

OUR EXERCISE PLAN

  • Plan your exercise routine one week at a time
  • Map out the routine you want to accomplish
  • I usually swim at the end of the week, I will now swim at the beginning or middle week, PLUS at a completely different time than usual, and THEN plan accordingly each week as it goes 
  • I will keep to the schedule I have already committed to, for example, my pre-scheduled pilates class and tennis group
  • I will remain flexible with my scheduled planning, making sure to include what I need to stay at goal
Map out your plan NOW!!


OUR NUTRITION
  • Carbs will be consumed early in the day
  • Incorporate sliced apples or tangerines as snacks, carry in a plastic bag in your purse!
  • Eat as much fresh greens as possible
  • Chocolate and nuts to a minimum!! Only once a week :) This will be tough....
  • Drink coffee 1/2 cup in the morning, 1/2 cup in the afternoon- the coffee bean cuts the appetite, satisfies chocolate cravings!!
OUR WORK

  • Arise 30 minutes earlier, so as to take in the day for a fresh start!
  • Stay on track with work schedule minimizing distraction
  • Keep paperwork organized with regular removal of all unnecessary items
  • Make lists for organization, then check off what  has  been accomplished
and SOCIAL...:) :) :)

  • Keep positive even when things may not go your way- there are other ways to do things!! Stay positive to keep your time and mind most active!!
  • Attend gatherings, enjoy, avoid alcohol, have some seltzer with cranberry juice and a twist of lime in pretty stemware, use a wine glass!
  • Get a manicure, hold that stemware with style!
  • Eat BEFORE you go out, remember Scarlet O'Hara in Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell
  • SMILE! And be sure to floss at least 4 X a week, use a whitener too
  • And please be considerate of others, not easy sometimes, but make it a daily goal
  • Be a GOOD listener, you will learn so much!
  • Give someone a compliment!

Enjoy, and ring in the holidays!!
