Tone it Up!

Body+Soul magazine had a great article on tips to help me get in shape. When it comes to working out, I'm such a procrastinator! Visually (in my mind) I see myself thinner but it takes more than visualizing, it's taking "action" on my vision and dumping the excuses (oh you should hear my excuses).

Here's a few toning tips:

• Take your meetings on the road by turning a sit-down session into a walk-and-talk.

• Set an alarm to remind you to stand up at least once every hour.

• Go dancing once a week

• Don't take your TV commercials sitting down. Get up and move around; do a few jumping jacks or physical chores until the program comes back on.

• Skip the elevator and take the stairs.
  

• Play the Dance Dance Revolution video game (you don't have to be a kid to enjoy it).

• Have (more) sex.

• Get a cardio workout DVD and do it 1 to 2 times a week.

Tory Burch: The Hottest Summer Sandal!

I love Tory Burch! Tory's summer sandal collection is hot - she has various styles with her signature gold emblem. You have to pick up a pair to wear with your neon manicured toes. You are in luck because she has a great sale going on, get a pair before they sell out!

Bring the on the curves....

This ad is awesome! I was browsing through Lucky Magazine (I thought I was going to stop reading it but - ok your right, it's a pretty good mag) I glanced at this ad for Curvation and immediately felt like I could identify with this woman. I am also a curvaceous and petite black woman so I felt connected with this ad as there aren't many ads that feature curvaceous women to begin with, let alone black women. I usually find the really good multi-racial ads in Essence magazine. Glossies are so stereotypical and this ad defies the image that "skinny is in". It is ok to be curvy with hips, shapely legs and a bust line that most women pay to have, this ad says basically brings truth that we are all human!
