8 Benefits of Routine Regular Facial Treatments

1/2/2021

Comments

 
Picture
​We love a good home skincare routine. Consistent daily practice is essential to maintaining the condition of your skin. But sometimes, you may run into issues that cannot be addressed at home and you need to turn to the experts for professional treatments. Facial treatments such as peels, infusions, microneedling or lasers can yield dramatic results – especially when incorporated with your regular skincare routine. Here are some of the benefits you'll experience by adding regular professional facial treatments into your skin health plan.
1.  Less acne scarring and skin divets 
Professional treatments like chemical peels and needeling work to even out your skin, which means that scarring from environmental stresses and acne are less visible. You can expect your skin’s color and texture to see an overall improvement. 
  • Recommended Chemical peel:  Perfect Peel with or without Booster, DMK 6 layer peel
  • Recommended Treatment:  Microchanneling at various depths or Microneedling wth Radio Frequency​​

2.  Visible wrinkle reduction and rejuvenated appearanceRegular skin treatments and facials not only get rid of dead skin cells they also stimulate the production of collagen, which helps reveal new skin that looks and feels smoother and  thicker. 
  • Recommended Treatment: Sculplla which infuses the skin with PLLA  The same ingredient in the injectable Sculptra can cause collagen production to kick up defending against wrinkles.
  • Recommended Treatment: Microcurrent  with light peel for an amazing gym style workout for the face stimulates collagen and retrains the muscles to lift.

3.  Even skin toneIf your skin has marks from surgeries, wrinkles or sun spots, a regular regimen of facial treatments such as chemical peel designed to treat pigmentation can help even out your coloring so that such damage is not so noticeable. Plus, an evened skin tone can give you the freedom to breakup with your heavy foundation.
Best Options  
  • Perfect peel or DMK 6 layer peel 
  •  V-IPL can also be used to treat sun spots and smooth overall color

4. Unclog poresDirt, oil, and dead skin cells clog up your pores and cause them to be more visible to the human eye. Recommended Treatments; Acne facials with extractions, hydro facials and enzyme peel with Blue Light combinations can help to decongest your pores and keep them that way.  

5. Sensitive skin or redness

Red and irritated skin can be due to a variety of factors  allergies rosacea high level of capillaries an thin skin.
Best Options:
  • Rosacea - Microneedeling or The Cure Facial to restore the epidermal barrier making the skin stronger and less likely to be as reactive
  • Redness due to capillaries - Thermoclear Spot remover or VIPL  for vascular issues. 

6. Therapy for pre-cancerous conditions.
Research has shown that chemical peels and IPL along with other facial-resurfacing techniques, help prevent skin cancers by treating precancerous conditions such as actinic keratosis, which is an early stage of squamous cell carcinoma. Thus, regular facial treatments can be a tool in your fight against skin cancer.

7.  More effective daily care.
Once you’ve had a facial treatment, you’ve removed icky bits that have been clogging your pores. This means that your regular skin products – moisturizers, creams, serums, and lotions – will be more easily absorbed, and are now more effective.

8.  Feeling good!
There’s nothing like the feeling that you are healthy and putting your best face forward. Having regular facial treatments helps you radiate confidence and makes you feel fantastic.
Schedule your consultation now. Beautiful skin awaits!

S-Team Skin And Body Enzyme Application

5/1/2020

Comments

 
Instructions for using the S-Team Skin And Body Enzyme Packet.
Each packet is 8 oz approx enough for 4 treatments if covering the entire body. ( Body only, NOT the face) 
1.  In a plastic or disposable bowl (or Solo Red cups work well) mix ¼ cup at a time of enzyme with room temperature water till the consistency of crepe mix (not too thin but pancake is a bit too thick) after one application you will easily get the  feel for it. 
2.  Apply with provided brush to areas of the body you want to treat. ½ a cup typically covers the entire body. You may apply everywhere on the body except breasts and genitals sensitive areas. If your neck is sensitive stop at the collar bone.
3.  Dry for 30-40 min. You can lay on the bed with a towel under you once dry to touch but may stick a bit. Ideally make the room warm or lay a light towel on top of you. Some people with nice heated showers hang out there too.
4.  Once done, rinse off completely in the shower with a wash cloth.  Redness in the area is normal and expected and will fade over the next hour. You may now apply your favorite moisturizer when done. I like using the DMK Body Sculpting Body Contour Cream, Perfect Body Lotion or Natura Bisse C+C Summer Lotion.
5.  Rinse brush completely and air dry. Seal pouch to avoid any water getting inside. Store in a clean, dry area out of direct light.

My First Micro-Botox Facial

2/23/2020

Comments

 
Picture
I am planning a girls get away to Nashville this weekend and wanted to add a little extra pizazz to my skin. I decided it  was a good time to try a new treatment from a trusted colleague. I chose the Micro-Botox facial since it is great for quickly reducing the appearance of pores, improving texture, boosting hydration in the skin and works in a few days. It’s an ideal choice for an event. It is popular with celebrities before award shows as it tighten up the skin. Sounded exactly like what I needed so I asked Dr. Denise Hilliard to sign me up.  This is how it went.

Me, pretending it feels good :)
Normally clients would numb prior to this treatment and after having it I would suggest that is a wise plan. I on the other hand didn't have time so I decided to forego the numbing.

​The treatment began with Dr Hilliard applying the cocktail of hyaluronic acid, peptides and Botox to my clean face and neck with a brush. Then she needled the mixture into my skin. Again with numbing it wouldn't have  been painful but it was a little  pokey. She alternated a few times between serum and needling until it was complete. Just like with traditional micro needling you don't add anything else to the skin after the treatment protocol so I was good to go. 
I had to go directly out to dinner and needless to say looked a bit strange. My face was both shiny and sticky with a few bonus blood droplets. But nobody commented, maybe because my dinner partner who had a plasma treatment a few days earlier looked even stranger 😉.

I was told I needed to leave it on for 4 hours or overnight and use a clean disposable sponge or clean hands to apply makeup for the next couple of days. No direct acids, scrubs or retinols.


​That evening I decided adding a towel to my pillow was a good idea and in the morning was glad I did. 
PictureMorning after - no filter just some CC cream and blush
I woke up  and couldn't wait to wash my face with a gentle cleanser. I was pleasantly surprised I  actually looked better than I expected. I had a couple of dots but not too bad. In fact after I but a bit of cc cream on with clean hands of  course, a  few people commented on how good my skin looked. Now I can’t wait to see how it is in a couple of more days.

Goodbye to 2019 - The Year Of Extremes - And Lets Look Forward To A Year Of Balance In 2020.

1/1/2020

Comments

 
Looking back at 2019, and trying to come up with a word that defines that year, extreme seemed to be the most appropriate. While things like politics and social justice received a lot of play in the news and are important topics, I am going to focus on its influence in my sector; health, wellness, fitness and skin and body care.

1. Bigger is Better

As the owner of a spa that focuses on creating the best version of yourself through balance and self improvement, I was particularly frustrated by the "bigger is better" trend. While I support people doing whatever they want to make themselves feel better there seems to be an inability to have limits and the ability to see the difference between improvement or enhancement and obsession.
Picture
Eyelashes - While they are the easiest to correct they are also the most obvious. Big, black costume-like spiders on your eyes are not your friend. Strive for something in balance and in line with your skin and hair color.
Picture
The Duck Lips - A bit of lip filler can look  lovely and remove vertical lines, but lips that enter the room before you do are distracting and take away from your other features.
Picture

Picture
When too much filler takes beautiful to weird.
Pillow Face - Don't get me wrong. A little filler can highlight facial features and help balance the face and create symmetry. But in the wrong or less talented hands you can end up with an overblown puffy look that is instantly aging.
Picture

2. #AcceptMeAsIAmOrElse

Ok, this one may make you angry at first, but hear me out. There is never any reason to be unkind to anyone regarding the way they look. Never! That being said, it is equally unkind to glamorize unhealthy bodies to make people feel better. I want to word this clearly. The world is full of different body types and all can be beautiful but taking any of those body types and adding 50 - 100 + lbs of health damaging fat, and then telling the world that this is not only fine but should be glorified, is ridiculous.  On the same note,  people who gain large amounts of weight need support and positive reinforcement, not criticism to help them lose enough weight to be healthy. I said healthy, not skinny.  That weight will be different for everyone. So  lets stop trying to feed our own egos (look what a nice person I am) by saying we a think somebody morbidly obese looks just as good as someone at a healthy weight. Instead, encourage loved ones who need to lose excess weight, which will lead to all types of life threatening diseases and lifestyle limitations, to instead make changes that will not only keep them around longer but also make them feel better.  It's time to get REAL.

3. The Quick Fix

I deal with this one a lot. Everyone nowadays seems to think that results that look good are healthy and lasting should be easily achievable  or happen after one treatment.  Trust me - you didn't get that sun damaged skin after one day at the beach. You didn't gain 30 lbs from 2 glasses of wine and you certainly can’t create lasting natural looking change in a day. You need to  actually put in the work. I always tell my clients that the treatments done at the spa need to be used as an enhancement to the basics. Without doing these core things you will never get a glowing healthy vibrant you.

  • Sleep - Without it you are cranky, will overeat and not exercise. It affects everything. Get it!
  • Nutrition - You  know the saying you can’t exercise your way out of a bad diet. Good clean food in balanced proportions and appropriate calories is a game changer. Track your calories for  three days you may  be surprised.
  • Exercise - It is the best for slowing down the aging process and - bonus - it supports mental health. Stop looking at it as torture and consider it "you time".
  • Simple skin care - Use cleanser, sunscreen, vitamin C, retinol and moisturizer. Start with these items and you will see a significant change.​
In summary, keep the extremes in sports, not on your face and body! Have a Happy and Balanced 2020!

It's Your Turn...  Easy As 1, 2, 3

6/9/2019

Comments

 
Picture
I've noticed recently that a number of my clients are coming to me after delaying self-care for some pretty significant blocks of time. I hear things like, "Now that my child is in school, I want to drop this baby weight and get back to being me", or "I think that is my mother looking back at me in the mirror". It's always a very vulnerable expression of having spent time away from some of the very basic elements of looking after yourself. I understand  - we all do.  The solution is an immediate reprogramming to recognize that being your best you sometimes means putting yourself first.

The Roles Than "Define" US

Picture
As women, it not uncommon for us to put the things we want on hold to develop the aspirations of those around us. It's important to know that taking the time to develop a career or raise a family involves a very subtle form of sacrifice that can leave us with little time for self care.  So, how do we turn things around?

Step 1. Stop listening to that voice that tells you to delay things for yourself. To be the best version of you, it's crucial to be bold enough to take the things for yourself that will ground you into a better reality - and to do it without guilt.

Step 2. Decide what issues are unacceptable to you. Choose one maybe two concerns and start there. If you take on too much you may get frustrated and lose focus.. Change doesn't happen overnight. It is one step at a time in the right direction.

Step 3. Arm yourself with experts.  When you want to remodel your home you might hire an architect, a contractor and interior designer. Treat yourself as you would any other important project. You may need a trainer , nutritionist, esthetician or a physician.  Decide what you want to change then hire appropriately.  The professionals who you select should make you  feel comfortable and heard.  They should be well educated but also model what you would like to achieve.  Then listen to what they say  and results will follow.

It's More Than Just Looks

I hear people say things like, "you should love yourself as you are." "You don't need others to tell you how you should look or feel." And though I agree with those statements in theory, you should never feel badly about wanting to be what you consider to be your best. And only you should decide what that is. Most everyone feels better when they look better. It's natural and normal, not vain. So put those concerns to rest.

Today Is Your Day

Picture
By taking proactive steps to take care of ourselves, we can not only make today better, but we can set the stage for a more compelling and dynamic future. The best you is in you. Get out of the way and let her out. Today.

A Few Of My Favorite Things... April Product Picks

This flavor is forwardly floral in the best way, tasting sweeter and more indulgent than its Nutrition Panel would suggest. Not to be confused with grandma’s perfume, our lavender adds a richness to the blueberry that has to be tasted to be believed. This flavor is for the adventurous. Ingredients: coconut cream (coconuts, water), organic blueberries, pure maple syrup, lavender oil, agar, probiotic cultures
Picture
The Bro-Fav, Bourbon Vanilla is right down the middle, appealing to the everyday yogurt eater as well as those with refined palates - we use the most delicious variety of vanilla, straight from Madagascar. This flavor is for the hard-to-please. Ingredients: coconut cream (coconuts, water), pure maple syrup, agar, Madagascar bourbon vanilla, probiotic cultures.
Picture
A smooth blend of juicy strawberries and delicate rose, perfectly aromatic and balanced with a touch of pure maple syrup. This flavor is for the fanciful. Ingredients: coconut cream (coconuts, water), organic strawberries, pure maple syrup, rose water, agar, probiotic cultures.

​I am super excited to share my  most recent food score. I have been on the hunt for a non-dairy, delicious, flavorful yogurt for a few years. So, you can imagine how excited I was to finally find  one. I not only like it but look forward to eating. The timing couldn't have been better as the flavors in these yogurts feel like spring. Blueberry lavender, strawberry rose, and vanilla bourbon are not only delicious they also have a thick dessert like consistency. While standing at the refrigerator  I ate a container of vanilla bourbon on top of raspberries, No time to sit down when it tastes this good.  

They range from 230-240 calories per container. They are high in fat due to the coconut milk but all natural ingredients and so satisfying. One is all you need.
Continuing with the spring theme I came across Trader Joe’s Blueberry Lavender Flavored Almond Beverage. It is smooth, creamy, and expertly flavored—it tastes as if you’re frolicking through a blooming lavender field while eating blueberries.
Picture
It has a a touch of cane sugar, which creates a light, slightly sweet dream of a drink. And they accomplish that while also being also gluten free, dairy free, soy free, vegan, and kosher!
​

It's a perfect morning pick-me-up: serve chilled with  your  fruit, yogurt or healthy granola. Pour it into a mug & after a quick stint in the microwave, you’ve got a delicious before-bed beverage. Or use it to make the ultimate smoothie bowl—complete with fresh berries, Want the flavor and even less calories? I mix it with plain unsweetened almond milk.

Colette's  Banana Almond Birthday Cake Shake

The same protein shake day after day can get old - and diet boredom can lead to moments of weakness and cheating. I found a few easy  additions to dress up my usual vanilla protein shake to create a filling treat that gets me through the occasional monotony of maintaining a clean diet.
Picture

Hold The Candles...

 Two bananas  - sliced into chunks that will mix easy
Two scoops Vanilla Flavored Whey ( or favorite protein) Powder
One teaspoon Vanilla
Almond Extract - to taste - don't over do it - it's pretty strong and a couple drops will do
One cup unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk

1 - Take All Ingredients

2 - Put Them In The Bullet

3 - You Know What Comes Next...

​What's with the high carb count? It's from the bananas, not a refined sugar.  Still, I would recommend enjoying this treat earlier in the day while your metabolism is going full force or have ½ today the other ½ tomorrow.

A Few of My Favorite Things.....February Product Picks

2/20/2019

Comments

 
This February I am highlighting three of my favorite foods. I came across one new product and the others are two products I have been using for years that I enjoy and are worthy of sharing.
Picture
Picture
Selection #1 is Orgain's Organic Protein Peppermint Hot Chocolate. In general, I find hot beverages to be a pretty good choice when trying to stave off hunger. This peppermint hot chocolate does the trick. At just 150 calories it has a rich delicious taste and a whopping 21 grams of protein. It's vegan, organic, gluten free, and I know what all the ingredients are.  One cup in the morning or before bed ...delicious!
Note: I use 2 scoops in in 8 -10 oz of unsweetened almond milk. It does require a lot of mixing  to get it well blended before and after heating . So stir a lot or use an immersion blender to get it nice and smooth.
Picture
Picture
I know you probably already use almond butter and are aware that it is good for you in moderation. I however, am a peanut butter addict who wants to like almond butter too. Trader Joe's Creamy Almond Butter is the ONLY almond butter I actually enjoy.  In general, I find almond butter a bit dry and grainy for my taste but this creamy almond butter is so delicious and mild. There are only three ingredients, and no added sugar. If that isn't enough, it is less expensive than most almond butters. And yes, for those of you who prefer crunch, they have a crunchy version as well.  Pick one up on your next visit to Trader Joe's and let me know if it's your new favorite.

I have been eating bars since Jane Fonda was in tights, when they were dry flavorless and more like carbohydrate heavy blocks. Most of my friends wouldn't eat them, claiming they tasted like dirt. But, if something was "good" for me, I'd choke it down. No need to do that anymore. If you are looking for a protein focused bar, the Kirkland Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough bar is a winner. It has 190 calories, 21 grams of protein, and is sweetened with stevia and the sugar alcohol, erythritol, two of what are currently known to be GRAS sweeteners. It is something I can enjoy and causes me no digestive distress.  It also has a nice, soft, chewy texture that is a change from the thick, harder bars. If you haven't already,  you may want to give them a shot.
​Note: They are available only at Costco.

Protein Cookie Dough

I found a couple of no bake cookie dough recipes, modified them a bit and the result is pretty darn good. Granted there is no butter or eggs to give it that true raw dough taste but when you don't want to wreck your food plan and you just need a treat give it a shot. I found it filling and pretty tasty. I am making it tonight for the third time :) 

No Bake Protein Cookie Dough
​
2 scoops Quest® Vanilla Milkshake Protein Powder
2 scoops Quest® Multi-Purpose Mix Protein Powder
1⁄3 cup stevia baking sweetener
1⁄2 cup water (plus 1-2 tbsp, if needed)
1 1⁄2 T peanut  butter -  creamy
1 1⁄2 T butter extract 
1 t vanilla extract
4 T coconut flour
1⁄2 t salt
30 dark chocolate chips
4 (4 oz) Mason jars or Roll in to Balls
Instructions
In a medium bowl, stir together sweetener, water, peanut butter, butter extract and vanilla extract.
Add in both Quest Protein Powders®, coconut flour and salt. Stir until a thick dough is formed. (If dough is too crumbly, add additional water.) I found it easier to just knead it with my hands. You want to make sure all the ingredients are really well blended.
Stir in chocolate chips 
Divide dough between four 4-oz Mason jars or roll into balls, and serve.
​Can also refrigerate and eat the next day, it's just as good... maybe even better.

Fueling Fundamentals: Stop Focusing On The Minutia

11/13/2018

When it comes to food and nutrition we are overwhelmingly inundated with mixed messages and misinformation.
Picture
Every diet  rationale comes with an equally convincing counter argument. It’s no wonder we are exhausted before we have even started.
I’ve spent countless hours, attending classes, reading books, listening to nutrition lectures and even testing diets on myself to try to decipher the perfect way of eating. My most recent resource has been podcasts.  While entertaining, there seems to be an awful lot of self proclaimed experts when it comes to food. I feel it’s because food is a subject that everyone participates in and has emotions attached to. I am at once fascinated and annoyed by all of the conflicting  thoughts.
During the process, I totally gave up on the idea of coming up with the perfect diet. The fact is, everyone is different and many diets or eating plans can have positive effects on an unhealthy  body.  Instead, I decided to focus on finding the common thread. There had to be some universal ideas that in some way connected most food plans and were in line with my nutrition education and experience. Through this process, I was able to put together some universal truths.  Of course there will be a few extreme diet outliers, but most  scientifically backed diets have many of the items I have outlined below. I call them the “Fueling Fundamentals”, and I feel they are the easiest things you can do to reap the largest rewards.

Timing

Establish your eating window to be no more than 10-12 hours. I  personally start eating at 6am and stop between 4-6pm

Frequency

Listen to your body and eat when hungry during your window. That doesn't mean eat the whole time -  just start really paying attention to the signals, and respond appropriately

Clean Foods

This means fewer processed foods. Choose foods that are grown in your area, require minimal transportation to get to you and  are  grown or raised humanely with less pesticides and additives.

Seasonal

If it’s in season locally, buy and eat it. That means don’t eat strawberries from Spain in the winter.  Your choices should require less assistance to be ripe at the appropriate time, be more budget friendly and support your health needs during that time of year. It makes it fun and provides motivation and opportunities to try new things and get out of meal ruts.

The Mix

Ok this where most meal plans go off the rails. It doesn't have to be so complicated. Eat a mix of foods that consist of:
Proteins: Good quality proteins. Both meat or non-meat sources can work, though you do have to apply more effort into your selections to get balance if you go a non-meat route. Protein should be a part of all of your daily meals. 
Carbohydrates: Lots of vegetables,  kale and chard, carrots, peppers, mushrooms to name just a few - Eat green - Get lean.
Fats: Yes they are great but don’t go crazy because too much of even a good thing will ultimately be stored as body fat. Fat sources such as olive oil, avocados, egg yolks and nuts are great natural ways to improve skin, hair, and overall health -  Just keep it to small amounts.

Bad Rap

I think by now, almost all food has been considered a food you should never eat . But I will address some of common ones here:
Dairy -  If you're allergic or lactose intolerant, this is obviously not a good choice.If dairy is not a problem I still suggest selecting  high quality whole milk over processed and skim - just not a gallon a day. A small organic, grass-fed, full fat, greek yogurt , a little chèvre or some feta are all good choices. When it comes to cooking and added milk in recipes, I recommend almond milk or preferred non-dairy source, provided it’s not soy
Fruit: One - two pieces a day  - some berries, a banana, apple, or pumpkin all have nutrition we need but avoid fruit juicing where fiber is lost and calories from fruit sugar add up too fast.
Sweets: Most people enjoy a treat every now and then, some more than others. Once you are eating healthy, you will crave sweets less and when you do, I think it’s best to eat a small piece of what you want, rather than more items trying to avoid the one you have deemed to be bad. My favorite is a small piece of dark chocolate or a tiny cup of dark chocolate mousse. Choosing small amounts of good quality flavorful treats on occasion will make you less interested in the typical halloween candy that always seems to hang around too long.
Bread: If you have celiac or a real gluten intolerance, then you can skip this part. If you are going to indulge in bread, choose a whole grain product with minimal processing.
Pasta: A small serving of pasta on occasion is fine if you enjoy it but  keep it more as a side than a main dish.

Emotional Mindful Eating

We all eat for emotional reasons. People eat when stressed, or sad or happy. I eat sometimes just because it’s Fall - whatever your trigger is,  just take a moment before you eat and think if you are really hungry.  The more you do this, the more aware you become of fueling your body and less about  trying to heal another need.
Be realistic. There are no evil or bad  food is just food. When you eat something you think you shouldn’t, or you ate too much of don't beat yourself up. Just regroup, think about why you ate it, and  come up with a way to  deal with it differently
​Remove Triggers. Other people don't have more self control or willpower than you . They most likely have just reduced the number of triggers around them.  We will all break down and do something we shouldn't if faced with constant temptation. Don't make yourself work that hard. Simply reduce the opportunities for your body to give in. Don't buy food you have a hard time resisting. If it’s not around, it’s not part of your daily eating equation.
​Set yourself up for success. Do food prep to make healthy cooking less of a chore when you are hungry. Have good to go snacks. Bring food with you when healthy food options are not available.

Don’t listen to others

Just because Johnny lost 30 lbs eating only meat and drinking bullet coffee and wants you to do the same doesn’t mean this is the path for you. Politely tell him you are glad that worked for him and then You Do You. You don't need don’t need to talk about or explain your healthy eating plan just go about it. Develop a positive  relationship with food and you will feel and (bonus), look amazing.

Women And Steroids:                    More Common Than You'd Think

10/7/2018

Comments

 
Picture
I have always been bothered by the use of steroids in the fitness industry. I believe the goal of fitness endeavors should be geared around improving one's health. Sadly, I had gotten used to  steroids in traditional bodybuilding, but then they started working their way into bikini competitions. These were originally created as an alternative  format where women could have a competitive option that didn't require the need for drugs. The truth is, if there are people posing on a stage, there are steroids on the stage. I quickly became disenchanted with the whole idea of fitness related competitions.

One of the main reasons is that women who choose not to take these dangerous drugs no longer stand a chance of placing. Often, they don't realize the people who are winning are taking steroids. This leads to self blame and criticism. "I didn't train hard enough. I shouldn't have eaten that extra ounce of turkey," etc. Fitness should make you feel good about yourself. Training for a show is hard work and, if in the end, the only way to be competitive is to take steroids, what is a fitness related competition actually about?

I came across a great article by SpotMeGirl.com that outlines the details of steroids in women's fitness. My only caveat is the article states that "No one should have to disclose if they take any enhancements."  I disagree. When it comes to competing, if you walk on a stage or enter a contest, it needs to be a level playing field. If its a drug show or a drug free show, just say so.  Other than that, its a great read. Here's an excerpt and the link to read in full "Here is the kicker: most of you follow them on Instagram or Facebook and don’t realize it. No one said that steroids were only for the muscle bound bodybuilder like Iris Kyle. Bikini models and competitors alike take steroids to maintain a lean and cut figure. When it is your job, or you’re trying to make it your job, you’ll do what you need to in order to maintain a certain look. That is why while many people steer clear of steroids, there are those who benefit from it and you’d never know. How does that effect the industry though? By setting standards that many can’t attain."

Beat Cardio Boredom

Some days you just can't face it. One more session on the bike, treadmill, or stair machine feels like it will kill you. When cardio dread hits you, just break it up into smaller parts. For example, do ten minutes of cardio in the beginning of your work out, train a body part, do ten more minutes, train another body part, and finish up with a final ten minutes on your cardio machine of choice. It's easy to skip it when you aren't feeling it, but by knocking it out even when you don't want to will get you over the cardio blues.

Time Management

Picture
We all have the same problem - we run out of time so frequently, it feels like we are never going to catch up with all the things we need to do. We try scheduling and making lists, but somehow time always slips away and things don't get done.  I think this problem can be simplified to reach a level where nothing falls through                                                                          the cracks, and we actually start to take on more than we thought possible before.

Managing Your Bandwidth

Picture
There are too many things pulling at us through technology that split our attention and often steal our productivity.  You don't need to comment on every posted pic.  You aren't missing out on anything.  If you can free your mind from the need to check in with social media, your time will open up significantly.  I'm not just talking about the time spent actually looking at your device - I'm combining that with the headspace you use automatically telling yourself that you need to look at your phone every thirty seconds.  Turn your phone off.  Give yourself  a break from your tech habit.  You will see that you really haven't missed a thing, and you have reclaimed minutes - and potentially hours everyday.

Say NO To Your Snooze Bar

Picture
This one is pretty simple.  Those few moments of "snooze sleep" never help.  I feel it can even set a daily tone of procrastination that results in low overall productivity.  The personal freedom you will know by having the discipline to get up and attack your day feels so much better than those few extra minutes of restless sleep

Creating Daily and Weekly Goals

Picture
Here's the drill - Get a monthly planner.  Take bites out of the year in 30 day segments.  Write what you have to do in black on every day.  For example, "Pay Rent", is a black ink item.  Then,  write in red for things you are going to do for yourself.  "Go To Yoga" , would be a red item.  Then,  in green, write up your goals.  Even something like "Paint The Bathroom Door".  Write it down, and make it real.  Just looking around and hoping you will get to it won't get it done.  Consider this calendar your appointment book with yourself.  It manages your must-do items, your personal health and wellness, and serves as a tracking system for the other little chores that slip away.  This is not a calendar on your phone with all the built in distractions.  It's paper.  And pen.  Like in the old days.  Before phones.  When things got done....

Tanned Skin Is Damaged Skin

PictureNope.

Just a little reminder to wear your sunscreen DAILY. We have come so far from when this ad was created - Tanning leads to premature aging and collagen breakdown that is often difficult and costly to reverse (if it's even possible). If you are still laying out, you are killing yourself. Literally.

On Vacation & On Track

6/13/2018

Comments

 
Picture
This summer, many of us will be stepping away from our regular lives to get some much needed R&R. The best way to have a great trip is to not come home with extra pounds and cravings that are hard to kick. Don't worry  - staying on track and making the most of your vacation can go hand in hand.

Managing The Food

Picture
The best tip I can give, is to stay away from the buffet. These staples of resort dining can lead you to pile on unnecessary calories, and send you into a craving tailspin. It's best to order a la carte, but if you must eat at the buffet, I suggest using two smaller plates. The first one is for your nutritious green vegetables and items that typically make up your normal eating routine. The second is for sampling a few of the things that look interesting. This will allow you to fill up first on healthier things, as well as give space for some dietary cheating. After all, it is a vacation.

Getting Your Work Out In

Picture
When I'm away from my usual gym, I also think of it as a break from the way I would normally work out. If you are somewhere that offers group classes, then take one that you have never taken before. That will make it fun and will give you something to look forward to. I also like to do two short sessions rather than one long one. For example, if I take a yoga class in the morning, I may do 20 minutes of core later in the afternoon. It's a good idea to coordinate your later session with happy hour. You can avoid unnecessary afternoon calories and alcohol by keeping this appointment with yourself. I feel much fresher going to dinner knowing I did something good for myself over having that extra Mai Tai. And that's not even mentioning those bar snacks that always seem to disappear...

Finding Opportunities

Picture
I like to do a little exploring when I'm in a new place - I get a feel for the culture and sometimes I can even learn something new. I enjoy trying activities like a day tour on a bike, or paddle boarding to a more remote snorkeling spot. These non-motorized outings can often lead you to locations that many people don't get to see and really add to the beauty of the place you are visiting. Hidden gems are hard to find, but of you are willing to put in a little work, the locals will show you why their home is such a special place. Try this - make a one to one trade - if you rent jet skis, then next you are going to try windsurfing. You won't regret trying something new.

Hit The Road!

This summer, take a trip  and get away from it all. Just don't come home with work to do to get back to where you were before you left. Proper food choices, staying hydrated, and getting a couple of short work out sessions a day in can all come together to making it your best trip ever. Just remember...Sunscreen, Sunscreen, Sunscreen.

Shake Overload

6/5/2018

Comments

 
Picture
I recently had a client complain to me that the weight she wanted to lose wasn't coming off. She had been good about her workouts, had cut calories and maintained her nutritional requirements. What was the deal?

It's Not A Meal....

Picture
When we broke down what was going on, I discovered that she had opted to replace a couple of meals each day with protein shakes. Seems reasonable. Loads of nutrition, easy to digest,  you feel full and it keeps your diet on track. The label even says meal replacement. At first blush, this sounds like a real time saver and a true diet hack. WRONG.

Fast Fixes Never Are

Picture
Here's the problem. We all want our metabolisms to be like turbine engines, burning through everything we throw at them. Meal replacements and protein shakes are built on the backbone of predigested proteins and nutrients. You simply don't have to work as hard to break them down and put them to use. It's a digestive vacation that may give you a lot of nutrition, but your machine simply is not going as hard as you want for optimal results.

There's No Substitute...

When putting together your diet and nutrition plan, it's ok to occasionally use a protein shake to mix things up. When you use shakes as a mainstay, you are headed for trouble. Supplement means "in addition to". These drinks were never meant be the bulk of your diet. To keep your metabolism running in top form, as always, eat green, eat lean, and now you know, shakes sometimes.

The Sun Hates You

6/2/2018

Comments

 
Picture
Simply put, the sun and environmental pollutants don't discriminate. They’re constantly at work, attacking your face, scalp, forehead, neck, and ears. While men who shave their heads or have a receding hairlines are at additional risk, ALL men need to protect and treat ALL exposed skin.

Yes Dad, I'm Talking To YOU....

Skin Cancer is the most prevalent of all cancers and overexposure to sunlight is the main cause. Over one million Americans develop skin cancer every year. Sun exposure has also been linked to the formation of wrinkles and "age spots."  Even on cloudy days you need protection.
Picture
UVA Rays:
Penetrate deep into skin layers.
Are 20 times more abundant than UVB rays.
Affect long-term skin damage.
Can pass through window glass.
Are not affected by a change in altitude or weather.
Are present all day, every day of the year.

UVB Rays:
Cause sunburn.
Are related to more than 90% of non-melanoma skin cancer.
Cannot pass through window glass.
Strength varies with the season and weather conditions
They are more intense in the summer than in the winter.

The Science Of Skin Damage

Picture
Environmental factors such as pollution, cigarette smoke, and radiation can lead to the formation of "free radicals" which are basically unstable molecules that contain an "unpaired" electron. When cells in the skin encounter one of these free radicals, the free radical may cause destruction to the skin cell, which can lead to signs of aging. Antioxidants are substances that neutralize these free radicals by donating an electron to them to make them more stable. This helps prevent cell and tissue damage, slowing down the signs of aging… and  with the right products and treatments prevention and reversal of damage is possible.

So What To Do?

Picture
Wear sunscreen - The sun and its damaging rays are potentially the biggest threat to your skin. Keep in mind that even on cloudy days your skin is under attack. 
Some interesting facts:

 -A white t-shirt has an SPF of    3
-Wet clothing has decreased SPF

-No sunscreen is "waterproof"... reapply sunscreen after swimming or excessive sweating
Moisturize - It is important to replace and "seal in" the moisture your skin naturally has. Without maintaining your skin's proper moisture level, you are headed for flaky, dull, dry skin.
Get facials every 6 weeks to clean and protect the skin and treat and help heal existing damage. It is also a good way to stay aware of any changes in your skin.

The Most Attractive People I Know All Have The Following Habits In Common - What Are They?

6/1/2018

Comments

 

Eat Healthy Real Food. And Enjoy it.

Picture
That means shop the perimeter of the store. Avoid the aisles where processed food resides. Instead choose seasonal and diverse food. Enjoy eating and you will eat less. Take some time to not only plan your meals, but where you will eat them. Make where you eat as appealing as what you eat. If you need inspiration, Pinterest is great for this.

Develop Good Skincare Habits Early

Picture
In Europe, this often begins as early as 10 years old for both girls and boys and usually starts with their first facial.  Teaching your son or daughter the importance of good skincare leads to a lifetime of healthy skin.

Make Facials and Massages a Part of Their Health Plan.

Picture
It’s really not a luxury. Skin is our largest organ — and it needs to be protected. Adults carry some 8 pounds and 22 square feet of it. This fleshy covering does a lot more than make us look presentable. In fact, without it, we would literally evaporate.

Move Their Bodies

Picture
Hike, lift weights, walk, ride a bike, take a class.  We have wonderful weather here and there is really no excuse for not taking advantage of it.  Your body is designed to move, and to do so frequently.  When you think you are too tired, that is usually when you need it most.  People who exercise always look better, feel better and have youthful energy 

Smile More and Be Happy

Picture
Ok, maybe you're thinking “I can’t just be happy.”  But actually, you can. The reality is that our thoughts create our experiences, because our thoughts determine what we notice, how we think, and therefore, how we feel. "Happiness" is not only a choice, but an active decision.  Even if  sometimes you don’t feel like it, smiling and positive thoughts can become contagious and lead to genuine happiness.

Less Media,  More Interaction

Picture
While I believe there is a place for social media and computers in our lives, it is also  important to be sure to disconnect. People who consciously turn off all electronic  stimulation -  yes, that means your phones, computers and headsets - and focus on the world around them are happier and more productive. Consider it the new conscious uncoupling ;)

More Maintenance, Less Extremes

Picture
While I always support  doing what makes you feel better about yourself, there is more to be said for balance. Those who maintain their health and wellness will find more extreme measures less appealing.  Ask Christie Brinkley. Small tweaks as you go result in a beautiful, more natural appearance.  Asking an unhealthy body or neglected skin to respond well from extreme measures is unrealistic and will often result in a more artificial appearance. Start with the basics and build from there.

Develop a Sense of Style

Picture
You aren't missing the style gene. A sense of style is typically a learned and practiced skill. It is also one of the benefits of aging. As we realize what looks better on us, we care less about the fads and instead focus on our personal style. Getting a color analysis done to determine what works with your skin tone is a great start. Look towards cuts that flatter your body. Nowadays, it's less about dressing your age and more about dressing for your body.

Walking It Off

Walking Works

Picture
It's something that you already know, but let's go over it again. You can lose weight and rev up your metabolism simply by walking. You can also elevate your mood and in many cases, crack the code to overcoming the cravings that often come at the end of each day. By taking a walk after dinner, every night, you are going to become a believer. I'm not talking about some arduous pilgrimage through rough terrain or walking the local shopping mall. I'm talking about getting up from your meal, passing on dessert, and walking in your neighborhood for even just two tiny miles. In a month, even if you only walk four days a week, you will cover forty miles, and burn 4000 calories. Those are results that everyone has time for.

It Fixes More Than You Think

Picture
When you keep this appointment with yourself, the benefits really go beyond what exercise offers. I do my walk without my phone. Don't be scared. You can do it. Just leave it at home, and walk out the door. The freedom you get may surprise you. Not only that, but in the absence of your phone, you may understand how reliant you are on this technology - which is not always a good thing. Simply be present in your walk, and see what 40 minutes can do. A tech diet is good for everyone. You really won't miss a thing. 

Killing The Cravings

Picture
It can take 20 minutes for the signal to go from the receptors in your stomach to your brain that tell you to stop eating. By eating a sensible dinner, and getting up and heading out, you give time for that process to occur. I have never come home after a walk and been hungry. I find that the method of "Eat and Walk" will also completely erase my desire for something sweet. I don't know how. It just does.

Sticking With It

When I return from my walk, I make a little note on my calendar (yes - my paper one) so I can see how far I've gone in a "week by week" and "month by  month" basis. It makes it more fun, and if something isn't fun, chances are, you won't stick with it. I keep it fresh by walking different routes and exploring streets I haven't been down. I like seeing the different landscaping designs and color schemes that people use on their homes. It gives me something to look forward to, and I use a very simple "20 minutes is a mile" method to track my distances. It's not exactly accurate, but for this, it's close enough. ​

You Have The Time

Picture
I had friend tell me a long time ago, that no matter what you do, the time will pass. So this summer, get out there and walk after dinner. I bet by August, many of you have gone beyond 100 miles. That is real. So, as the summer passes, you can get out and be a part of it and cover the distance of a few marathons, or you can have that second helping everyday and complain that your bathing suit must have shrunk. Totally up to you.......
