Your Skin’s Essentials

We know the winter can be harsh on our skin making it dry, scaly and dull. No worries, I have two products by Soleil Essentials Natural True Skincare that will have your skin radiant and glowing just in time for the warm weather.

soil

To start, the White Tea & Ginger Body Polish will exfoliate that dull, dry skin from the winter. This product is infused with Organic Shea Butter and Organic Coconut Oil, so you know the smell is heavenly. From the moment, you start rubbing this body polish on your skin, you will see how your skin shines and feels invigorated. Let the polish sit for about 5 minutes then rinse the scrub and dead skin off. You will see how the water beads up on your skin like you have an invisible layer of oil. Your skin looks hydrated and youthful immediately.

Don’t stop there because I promised that your skin would be radiant and glowing, so when you step out the shower reach for your towel and White Tea & Ginger Body Oil. Ladies, this product smells so good and feels so sleek that you feel as if you are in a high-end spa getting a special oil treatment. Apply the oil all over your damp body and pat dry. This is all you need to get smooth, radiant skin right from home. You and everyone around you will notice that your skin is dazzling and rejuvenated. Girl, get the tools you need to have smooth, hydrated glowing skin at https://www.soleilessentials.com and illuminate every room you walk into.

Love The Skin You’re In

love yourself

 

When you look in the mirror what do you see? Is it an ugly duckling or a beautiful swan? Well, we are not going to tear ourselves down we are about to lift ourselves up. This week I want us to focus on what we love about ourselves, we must love the skin we are in, in order to make changes within. I know I was always talking about the things I wanted to change about my body (I wish I had thinner thighs) but to make a change in ourselves we need to do it from a place of love not hate. So, do this exercise with me. We are going to work on three areas of the body, top, middle and bottom, keeping it simple. Let’s get started, grab your pen and paper and move into a private space with a mirror (I like the bathroom).

1. Stand in front of a mirror and gaze at yourself starting at the top (start at hair to collar bone)
Look at your face, what is your favorite feature here? Is it your eyes, your nose or even your cheekbones? Whatever it is write it down, by the way, it doesn’t have to be just one.

2. Drop that robe and look at your image. We are focusing on the middle (from the collar bone to the hip bone) embrace all of you. Remember we are loving ourselves so, what is your favorite part here? Is it your collar bone, your bellybutton or your back? Write down your favorite part or parts.

3. Move to the bottom (from your hip bones to your toes). Step back so you can see that lower body. Do the same thing here. Is your favorite part your knees, the junk in your trunk or your cute little toe? Write it down.

Now that you have covered your entire body; I want you to read your list out loud looking at yourself in the mirror. It will go something like this: “I love my eyes, nose and ears. I love my bellybutton, I love my thighs and my feet. “I want you to add at the bottom of the list – I love you.

I know this exercise seems strange but trust me. Losing weight is more that hitting the gym. We must expand our self-awareness to succeed. Keep this list near so that when you find yourself struggling to love you, pull out your list and read it.

When we love ourselves we treat ourselves better, we tend to move like we love ourselves, we eat like we love ourselves and we speak like we love ourselves. To achieve the body you desire you have to make that change out of love. So, love the skin you are in.

Time To

get-fitWhen it comes to cardio, people have lots of questions. I get questions like: how long should I do cardio? How often? How many days? I can go on and on with questions. I am going to answer all your questions and make it nice and easy for you to remember. All you have to remember is F-I-T-T. There is a formula to this fit game.

F- Frequency: How often should I workout? You should work out consistently 3-5 times a week.

I-Intensity: How hard should I go? That depends on your fitness level, you want to hit your Target Heart Rate range. You can have a fancy gadget to tell you when you are in your THR range but I am going to tell you a easy way you can tell you are in the zone, no equipment needed. If you are able to hold a conversation, you are NOT in the zone. If you are unable to hold a conversation easily, you are breathing hard, and unable to talk smoothly you are If you are IN the zone.

T-Time: How long do I have to workout? If you are beginner start off with 10-15 minutes a day. Your goal is to work up to 20-30 minutes 3 times a week.

T-Type: Find what you like, if you enjoy walking, walk just make sure you are applying the FITT formula.

The key to cardio is to find something you enjoy doing and apply the FITT formula. If you don’t enjoy it you will not stick with it. You now know the formula to this fit game, get out and burn those calories, make it fun!

Are You Ready to hit your target?

Bow and arrow

Are you ready to conquer those things on your New Year’s resolution list once and for all? What has been on your list every year for a long time and you still haven’t conquered it? Let me guess …losing weight, exercising more and eating better, right? You start the year out hard for the first month or so and then you fall back into your old patterns. The year has passed and you have it on your list again the following year. It stops this year. Let’s cross it off your list for good. Are you ready? Are you willing to do the work? Grab your pen, yes pen and find a quiet place to focus on these 3 questions.

Why do you want to lose weight? – Start with the why.  Make a list of why you want to lose weight. Take a moment with this. Is it to look good for an upcoming event? Or to reduce your risk of a heart attack. Your why is very important it will keep you focused on your outcome.

What have you done in the pass to reach your goal? – Look at the steps you did before to make it work for you? Stick with the things that worked and drop the things that didn’t. You must do something different if you want different results.

Who do you have for support? – Find yourself a person that can support YOU. It is so important to have that person or persons that will be there when you are feeling weak. Willpower only works when you are willing to do it, but if you have a partner, that person can be strong when you are not. Teamwork is the dreamwork.

By knowing the why, what and who, you are on the path to success. You can cross those things off your list the following year and replace them with maintaining your weight lost.

Drop it… Leave It… Let It Go

Recently I was channel surfing and I came across Joel Osteen preaching and his sermon was just what I needed. You guys know that when I hear something, see something, or do something that moves me, I must share it with you. There were 3 things that stood out to me: Drop it, leave it and let it go! Now, I’m not going to preach to you but, I will summarize what I took away from this message.

Drop it – It doesn’t matter what the “it” is, just drop it. Give no life to it. For instance, you are in a meeting and your co-worker is giving you a hard time. You listen to her complaints, say your response and drop it. No need going round and round with it, giving “it” more energy.

Leave it – Leave it where it happened. No need to carry “it” with you all day. Using the scenario from above, when you leave the conference room there is no need to run to your office and call you friend and replay the event for her. You are giving “it” life again. I know when you run into that co-worker at the water cooler you are going to want to pick “it” up again but don’t. You have dropped it, leave it now move on to number 3.

Let it Go – Let it go, the more you hold on to something; repeating it over and over in your mind you are still giving “it” life. Really, let it go. Let go of toxic, your mind is not the dumpster, place that trash on the side of the road and move on. The universe will right things, so you don’t have to. When you see that same co-worker at the water cooler, you can smile and move on, knowing that you have dropped it, left it and let it go.

This is tough for me. I have found myself repeating those three things over and over in my mind when my husband has hit a nerve. Now, it’s a tool that I am putting into my tool box and using when needed. Listen, there are people who hold onto things for a lifetime. I am guilty of that as well, but as we start 2017 let’s try to implement Drop it, leave it, and let it go and see how we grow. We don’t have to hold onto toxic damaging things that have happened to us. We have the power to move on in this life and achieve goals we set for ourselves. 2017 is your year!

Live Your life in 3D

I have always been a dreamer, which has gotten me into a lot of trouble as a child. However, as an adult it has allowed me to do some amazing things. That is why I call myself a “Successful Dreamer”. I am not the only dreamer, many people are, but others use the term visualization. I have found a common thread between each of the “successful dreamers”. They see things in 3D. No, not like the 3D movies where you must put on those special glasses to see. I mean they all have the 3 D’s; Determination, Dedication and Discipline. Let me break it down for you.

Determination – Don’t underestimate the power of determination. When you set a goal and you stay focused on that, your mind it set. No one can deter you from that goal and you have no need to look to the left or the right, stay in your lane.

Dedication – Be committed to your task, simple. Once you are determined to get to your end result, stand firm to your dedication. Stay diligent which requires #3 discipline.

Discipline – Be controlled with your actions. Meaning you are in control of your efforts, no one else. Actions are required for you to be a “Successful Dreamer”. If you say you are going to call 5 new contacts Monday through Friday at 9am. Get up and make those calls. Not, I am going to sleep in today or my friend invited me to breakfast at 9, so I didn’t make my calls today. No excuses! Be disciplined enough to say “friend, I am unavailable between 9am and 10am, but I would love to meet you at 11am.” It doesn’t matter what the distraction is stay focused, be controlled enough to reach your goal.

The 3D’s are available to everyone. No matter your status, how much money you make or how much money you don’t make. As long as you live by the 3 D’s you will make those dreams into reality! Live your life in 3D!

Holiday Fit Tip

happy-holidaysThis is the last month of 2016 and we have so much to do! Decorate the house, shop for that just right gift for everyone, make sure we have everything we need to cook that special holiday dinner, all while continuing with our day to day lives. We get so consumed with many things that we tend to forget about ourself. Not this year! The best way to serve others is to make sure you put yourself as a priority.

The best tip I can share with you for this holiday season is to schedule time to exercise. I know it seem strange but trust me it works. Set aside at least 30 minutes to get that heart rate up and get that stress level down! Here are a few simple exercise you can do right from the comfort of your living room, no excuses. Jumping jacks, do at least 3 – 5 sets 10 to 20 reps. Jump rope (real or imaginary rope) do at least 5 rounds: jump 30 seconds rest 10 seconds. March in place, make sure you get those knee above those hips to really get that heart rate up.

You don’t want to skip on that resistance training. It’s easy to work that whole body with a few simple workouts. Get on the floor and do Push ups 3 sets 5-15, Planks, hold for at 30 seconds and work up to 1 minute.  Squats 3 sets 5-15. You have done your cardio, worked up a sweat building some muscles and releasing stress.

Look at you, you got your workout on and still got this holiday time handled! Happy Holiday!

Let Go to Grow

let-go

Letting go is not always the end, it can be the beginning of something new.

I recently went to the wedding of my only son and it was a very emotional event for me.  I’m sure I am not the only mother who has had to “let go”.  I remember all his new beginnings starting with the day he was born, his first steps, his first words and even his first day of kindergarten.  Now he is a grown man taking on a wife, another first.  This milestone event in his life is also a milestone event in my life, let me tell you why.  I had to stop and reflect on my life and I asked myself 4 questions, Who, What, When and How?
Here 4 questions I now propose to you as well.

1. Who are you now?  We know life is full of changes and we all must change as well or we will be like the dinosaurs, extinct.  So, take time to reflect on who you are at this very moment, not what you used to be.

2. What do you want to be?  After you answer the first question, then figure out who you want to be?  Are you satisfied with your answer? Keep this in mind: if someone told you that you will be the exact same person ten years from now, would you be satisfied with that?

3. When do you want that to happen?  If you are perfectly fine where you are in your life, then great, stand still.  However, if you have gotten to the top of the mountain and ready to climb to the top of the next one, then figure out when you want it to happen.

4. How are you going to do so?  This is where you start your research and developing your plan of action.
Sometimes letting go is just the beginning of something new.

Change your priorities & change your life

We all have priorities in our lives, things that are regarded as more important than others like work, kids and bills. Our priorities shape our lives in a positive and or negative way. Are you willing to redesign, some of your priorities for what you want? Here are 3 priorities that we can change to redesign our lives in a positive way.

1. Sleep – Sleep is a priority, more or less depending on the person. I’m sure we have heard “I want to work out, but I don’t have time after work. I have to get my kids, run errands and make dinner, etc.” Why not workout in the morning? If you really want to work out and live a healthier lifestyle you have to be willing to make a change. You can get up 40 minutes earlier to do 30 minutes of cardio. Change your priority, change your life.

2. Family time – Let’s face it, we work hard for the money! We are consistently checking our emails, answering the phone when client’s call, (even if you are at dinner with your family), searching the web for news that is relevant to your work or content for your meeting. Whatever it is you are doing, you are more connected to that phone than the people who are actually around you. We know that work is a priority and yeah without money, the lights won’t be on, or food in the fridge, clothes on our backs and a roof over our heads. Yep, we get all that and I am sure your family really appreciates all that you do for them. But, does your work have to be priority 18 of the 24 hours a day? If you want your family time to be a priority as well, you have to redesign your priorities to change your life. Now, I am not saying quit your job, I am saying manage your time. Example, if you have a 9 to 5 job you clock out, get home and decompress for an hour or so then spend quality time with your loved ones. However, if you are an entrepreneur it is not that simple, but it can be done. You have to set boundaries and stick to them, your clients will understand and fall in step. Example, set a time that you will not answer the phone, return emails or search the web. I know this is tough but you do want to have a relationship with your family, right? Say 8pm to 10pm is family time to just eat, drink, play a game or just cuddle up on the couch and watch a television show/movie. You will be surprised at how your family will react to that. They will feel special and that they are a priority in your life as well. You are in control of your time, time is precious and so is your family, change your priorities, change your life.

3. Money – Money makes the world go round. We all have heard all kinds of excuses based on the fact we don’t have the money. For instance, “I really want to get into shape but I can’t afford a gym membership” “I really want to eat better but healthy food is too expensive” or “I want to take a vacation but I can’t afford it.” We can afford anything we really want. If you really want to get a gym membership, you may have to stop going to Starbucks every day. If you really want to eat better, you can save money by not going out to eat every day for lunch. If you really want to take that vacation, you can save money by not getting your hair done every week or hold off on getting that new pair of shoes or that must have purse. Take the money you saved to get that gym membership, get healthy groceries and take that vacation. Change your priorities change your life.
