Life life life-

I am practicing my runway walk like none other right now & doing a lot of other necessary/ somewhat tedious grooming. The wonderful weather allows for showing a little more skin ;-) so I have to make sure it looks top-notch.


I've been mindfully adding extra doses of vitamin C to my life lately. Not only does it brighten up the skin & boost energy levels, but it's been shown to reverse the signs of aging due to the lovely but treacherous SUNSHINE.


I've been eating a combination of more fruits; these are some of the healthiest and my all time favorites ----> grapefruit, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, oranges, cherries, peaches and lemons, all in portioned amounts, a few bites here and there through out the day-- It won't spike your insulin levels too high and it will provide sustained energy- some people think a lot of fruit will add to weight gain, but the key lay in the portions throughout the day aspect!!

I really have noticed quite the difference, in my energy levels, my mood, and my skin!! With the warm weather here it's also important to drink plenty of water, your body is composed of 70% water you know, and if you think about it, in a twist of fate most people worry about food more than water, while you can survive over a week without food and no more than 3 or so days without water. It really is important for your body, your complexion, your mood, and your health, to stay hydrated!!

Oh ya & don't forget to wear your sunscreen when you go out, UV rays not only damage the skin making you look older, they can also cause cancer & last time I checked nobody's a fan of cancer.

Hmmm.... life - it's that one thing that happens everyday. We live, we breathe, we eat, we stress, there are a million different little daily things each and every one of us do, so spontaneous some habitual, but one thing we often forget, is that we all have the ability to look past the daily tasks and really LIVE. Everyone's busy, everyone has deadlines, everyone has goals and dreams, but everyone also has the ability of CHOICE.

YOU CAN CHOOSE HOW YOU SPEND YOUR TIME. ULTIMATELY YOU HAVE THE FINAL SAY IN YOUR LIFE & WHAT YOU DO. From small things to life changing decisions... So no matter what it is, big or small, important or trivial, embrace your power... the power of choice, and CHOOSE to do something just for you today!! Because you deserve it! We all have weight on our shoulders, we all try, we all struggle, and sometimes we forget to give ourselves a pat on the back, or sit back and enjoy a simple minute of peace, so take a minute & relax!! You can check out this website I found while I was browsing Oprah's website.

Within her SPIRIT & SELF section- it contains some of the MOST BEAUTIFUL pictures I have EVER seen!! Entitled "BREATHING SPACE" the quality and beauty are phenomenal. TAKE A QUICK LOOK- I DEFINITELY THINK YOU WILL LIKE THEM!!
