Fall is by far my favorite time of the year. And since I’ve been spending more time on the east coast recently, I’m getting the chance to experience some REAL fall weather! The only downfall to the colder weather for me is that I’m not always as motivated to work out. Thank goodness I’ve come to learn that I’m not the only one who needs a little bit more of a push at this time of the year!
There are a lot of great bodies in Hollywood, but my friend Elizabeth Morrell is one of the MOST fit people I know….I’m mean, the woman actually has an EIGHT-pack…and an incredible story of how she got there. She’s also a fitness trainer and the star of her own tv show Ms. Fit One. So, I figured we could all learn a thing or two about keeping in shape at this time of the year from her. Here’s what she had to say:
I am the new kid on the block, literally. I recently moved to Charlotte, North Carolina from Southern California where it is sunny all year long. I can ride my bike outside in any season, the weather is always beautiful – however Charlotte, not so much. I am not accustomed to this cold weather, yes, I said COLD…. to me, but cool to the natives. I guess I can’t stay bundled up under my warm blanket on my big comfy couch, I must find ways to stay in shape in cool weather.
It doesn’t matter if you are already in shape or trying to lose weight, here are a few great workouts for fall season. Spin class, yes, I still must get my ride on. Maybe I can’t ride with the wind blowing in my face but I can still get in my jumps, hills and sprints in a spin class. Spinning is one of the best ways to burn calories without all the pressure on your knees. You can burn up to 1,000 calories in a one-hour class.
I really don’t enjoy Yoga, I said it!! But it is an essential practice for the mind, body and spirit – though I admit I am a seasonal Yogi. When it’s cold outside, I seek warmth and why not get a good workout in a controlled heated environment. Hot Yoga calls my name in the fall. Yoga is so necessary for not only your body but your mind. It is a great way to increase strength, gain flexibility and tone your body as well as keep your mind centered and focused, all in one nice HOT place. Namaste.
My favorite is resistance/strength/weight training, whatever you call it, (I am that chick in the weight room with the big boys). I love resistance training is all seasons. You can throw on your scarf, hat, coat and gloves and make it to your local gym or you can simply move your furniture around and get busy in the comfort of your own home. Resistance training is so important! It is not just for body builders! It improves muscle strength and tone; it boosts your energy, improves your mood, and increases your self-esteem. I can go on and on about the benefits of strength training but the bottom line is, pick up a pair of dumbbells, a resistance band and a ball and you have a total home gym.
There you have it three things you need to keep you in shape for the fall: Spin for cardio, it builds your endurance and burns fat. Hot Yoga, for your flexibility and focus and resistance training for building your muscle strength and overall total body wellness.
Check out your local fitness centers to find the nearest classes near you and fall into shape with me!

Hi everyone! I’m so excited to tell you about my latest adventure! I’ve been back from Jamaica for about a week now, things are just starting to slow down a little so I wanted to fill you in on my trip.
As one of a lucky group of guests of the Jamaica Board of Tourism and Global Renaissance Entertainment, I had the chance to spend four incredible days at the beautiful Iberostar Grand Hotel Rose Hall in Montego Bay, participate in several fun island activities, and was treated to an exclusive “Destination Experience” finale party at the legendary Goldeneye Resort in Oracabessa.
The whole weekend was built around a press conference at the famous Rose Hall Estate where Global Renaissance announced that they will be filming a trilogy of films based on the old sugar cane plantation which is legendary and rumored to be haunted. Media from all over the US and abroad were there and had the chance to interview Final Destination‘s creator Jeffrey Reddick; the producers of the franchise, Arthur Wylie & Dale Godboldo; film investors and some of Jamaica’s elite. Principal shooting for the first of the films will begin in the spring of 2015 and will surely benefit the Jamaican economy.
Just so you know, this wasn’t only a pleasure trip! I was also there to do some location scouting for a new travel show that I’m developing with Global Renaissance. Unfortunately I can’t say too much about it at the moment, but I will say that I’m super excited about it and will definitely fill you in as soon as I can….to be continued!
Did you know today is National Brow Day? From Wink Brow Bar to Smashbox, today is a wonderful day to celebrate this wonderful feature with two of the most famous brows – Audrey and Elizabeth!
Audrey Hepburn
Their impeccable and lush brows further prove that this trend is here to stay, so lets look at the past to predict the future, as 2014 and now 2015 are definitely going to be the brow years to look forward to, from young ingénues like Lily Collins to Ashley Olsen.
Brow Day
What’s the modern way of shaping and filling in brows to create this lush effect? Look no further than threading, especially such as the West Village’s Wink Brow Bar, which specializes in organic threading. Anti-inflammatory and best for both shaping and growing a lusher set, read below for owner Umbreen Sheikh’s tips and tricks:
On promoting brow hair growth: “Everybody is different in how much their brow grows but you can try the following:
Brush them with an eyebrow brush, always remembering to go upwards and then outwards. Then, moisturize your brows, making sure the hairs aren’t dry. Another thing you can do is to take vitamins, such as B-complex and C.”
On using tools to tame growing out brows: “You can use brow powders or pens to keep your brows filled in during the growing phase. You can also use a non-sticky brow wax. This keeps the hairs pressed back in the right direction on your face, making your brows appear fuller.”
Achieving lush brows can also be as quick as filling them in! Try Smashbox’s Brow Tech or Wink Brows to Go quad for a lovely and easy look!
Here I present “Beauty: Hair Now” Hair Care. “Can’t live without” hair products for men and women and the newest fashion accessories for the hair.

Miss Virginia 2014 and Runners-Up
(Copyright 2014 Julius Tolentino)
Last week I had one of the most fulfilling opportunities of my life…serving as a judge for the 2014 Miss Virginia Scholarship Pageant, a preliminary to the Miss America Pageant! As such, I got to meet and get to know 26 of the most beautiful, charismatic and talented young women from across the state of Virginia. I’ve judged several other similar competitions in the past, but this was by far the toughest and most meaningful.
Post-pageant afterparty with two contestants, Addison Walker and Savannah Lane.
As a former titleholder in the Miss Virginia system, it was especially fun (albeit a bit stressful) for me to be on the other side of the table. The women that participate in this week-long competition must not only be attractive, which includes looking fabulous in a swimsuit, they must also be intelligent and well-spoken as evidenced in a private and on-stage interview; committed to a platform beneficial to society; and poised (ie: able to walk elegantly in an evening gown while connecting non-verbally with an audience). As this is a part of the Miss America Organization, these ladies must also be able to showcase a talent. This is where judging can get to be really tough! We saw everything from seriously phenomenal baton-twirling, to Broadway stage-worthy singing, to classical piano performances. One contestant had even worked with the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater!
The winner, Courtney Garrett, performed an operatic classical vocal, “Parla Piu Piano” from “The Godfather”. Her platform, “Defying Disabilities” centered on understanding and accepting the challenges people with disabilities encounter in everyday life. She encourages people to become better educated and involved with the struggles of the disabled. I wish her the best of luck at Miss Miss America!

As a bonus, I got to work with an incredible group of fellow judges, including a former Miss Texas, former Miss Louisiana and ABC7 Chicago news anchor Hosea Sanders, who I’m sure will be a lifetime friend!
Finally, I was thrilled to get to know Bobbie Eaks, who hosted the preliminaries and final show. Bobbie is a 2-time Emmy Award nominated actress best known from her work on “The Young and the Restless” and “The Bold and the Beautiful”, both on CBS. She’s not only a wonderful actress, but also a fantastic singer and one of the nicest people around!
