7 Olahraga Terbaik untuk Tetap Langsing

2011-02-01T14:18:00.000+07:00

Bukan hanya lari di treadmill selama 45 menit sehari atau berenang ratusan meter sehari untuk mendapatkan tubuh langsing. Juga bukan lari berkilo-kilometer sehari.

Latihan terbaik untuk mendapatkan tubuh langsing adalah:
- Sesuatu yang Anda sukai. Aktivitas yang disukai membuat Anda melakukannya terus-menerus.
- Sesuatu yang bisa Anda lakukan selama 30-60 menit sehari.
- Sesuatu yang dapat membuat Anda berkeringat.

Apa sajakah itu yang membuat anda langsing? Pilih salah satu yang Anda sukai.
1. Bermain golf 18 hole
Syaratnya: tanpa golf cart.

2. Bermain bersama anak
Luangkan waktu satu jam sehari untuk bermain bersama anak. Dijamin Anda akan menikmatinya. Manfaatnya, tak hanya Anda yang langsing, anak juga terhindar dari kegemukan. Ajak anak berenang, bermain kucing-kucingan, atau permainan apa saja yang dapat membuat mereka berkeringat.

3. Berkebun atau membersihkan rumah
Manfaat ganda bisa Anda peroleh. Rumah jadi indah dan tubuh Anda sehat. Jadi, sekali-sekali liburkan pembantu dan Anda yang mencuci, menyapu, serta menyeterika sendiri.

4. Naik sepeda
Butuh pergi ke minimarket dekat rumah? Jangan naik mobil, keluarkan saja sepeda. Jika lalu lintas di sekitar rumah tak terlalu ramah, naiklah sepeda statis di rumah sambil nonton televisi.

5. Jalan-jalan
Lakukan jalan-jalan di seputar rumah sebelum makan pagi. Ketika di kantor, jalan-jalanlah dulu selama 15 menit sebelum makan siang. Demikian juga ketika makan malam.

6. Menari
Ambil les menari Bali atau tarian yang dinamis. Bisa juga ambil les dansa.

7. Dengarkan musik favorit
Lakukan aktivitas olah tubuh sambil mendengarkan musik favorit. Ini akan membuat Anda betah melakukannya secara rutin. @diy

Mulberry Python Bayswater

Mulberry's classic Bayswater bag in metallic gold python makes me want to curl up in a little ball and just cry. Where oh where is my billionaire boyfriend???

This is a gorgeous bag. It has a brown suede interior and the buckles on the side expand to make the bag larger. I would carry this haute bag whether I was dressed up or down. The Python Bayswater is a bag that says "Yes, I do have it all and you should envy me." Just kidding...

By the way, it costs $4000 and my birthday is in 2 months. I implore you all to feel free to donate to my handbag fund at anytime or just send the bag to me. I love getting gifts. *smile*

Currently Testing: Rapid Lash {Does it work???}

2010-12-25T04:56:00.000+07:00

I squealed with delight when I was contacted about sampling Rapid Lash Eyelash Renewal Serum and when it arrived a few weeks ago I couldn't wait to start using it. Rapid Lash has been on my product wish list for a while. My eyelashes are okay in length but the volume isn't there and I've grown tired of the misleading mascara ads where false lashes are used to sway poor innocent beauty junkies such as myself.

Rapid Lash claims:

Improved condition of your lashes
Healthier, Fuller, Appearing-Looking Eyelashes & Brows
Proteins and vitamins help replenish and fortify lashes & brows

I've been using Rapid Lash on my eyelashes every night for about two weeks. Stay tuned to find out if Rapid Lash delivers!

Work is super busy, I've attended 3 shows, and had an unexpected night hosted by Ebony Magazine. Did I mention I still have to go to my real job? Hopefully next year I will be better prepared at burning the candle at both ends. But alas, enough about that.

Gilt Groupe graced Chicago with their stylish presence to meet with local bloggers for breakfast today. Yours truly was in the house. The breakfast was held at the luxurious Peninsula Hotel.

The service we received upon arrival was superior. Tasty mimomas were served as Gilt Groupe's staff made it a point to greet each blogger. They were such a personable group of people who put us all at ease.

Alexandra Wilkis Wilson officially welcomed us when we were seated. She gave a brief overview of Gilt Groupe and shared information about Gilt's latest venture, Gilt City, which offers amazing deals on a variety of experiences in several cities. Gilt City Chicago recently launched so be sure to sign up!

Tyler Thoreson of Gilt Man was next to speak. He was impeccably dressed so I see why he heads up the men's division. After Tyler spoke, it was time to eat. I had the french toast which was served with warm caramel syrup.

I would go back to the Peninsula just for this french toast.

I was at a table with some amazing bloggers so the conversation was quite lively.

Chicago Fashion Focus: Designers Past & Present

2010-12-20T23:04:00.000+07:00

Last night I attended the kickoff runway show for Chicago Fashion Focus Week. The Chicago Fashion Incubator and Macy's is a year-long program that develops the talent and careers of local designers.

My name on my chair in the press section.

I'll admit that I am not that familiar with local design talent in Chicago so I was pretty excited to see the creations come down the runway.
Here are some of my favorite looks from Designer's Past & Present Runway Show:

KristinHassan.com

I'm a sucker for ruffes and flower details.

Simply gorgeous!

Audey - This was my favorite collection of the night!

I loved the whimsy of Audey's dresses. There was a sweet yet very modern country girl vibe that really spoke to me.

Kate Boggiano:

Loving the patterned tights. They lend an edge to a pretty tame gathered mini.

AggA B.

Something about the above look was very Katherine Hepburn to me.

Nora del Busto

Donaldo Smith of Killian Gui

Really like the color blockedand untucked shirts!

A man cannot go wrong in a tailored button down shirt, crisp jeans and polished boots!

This was an excellent offering of past and present Chicago Fashion Incubator designers. I'm so proud of Chicago. There is an amazing plethora (I love that word) of fashion talent here and I am so glad that I now know of some local designers.

Do any of the designs appeal to you? Let me know what you think!!

A bottle of Bang

Hello Marc Jacobs! The MJ newest fragrance for men, Bang features the designer naked. It's very in your face and does get your attention. I haven't smelled Bang yet but it does have a nice blend of: three peppercorns, primal masculine woods, benzoin resin, vetiver, white moss, and patchouli.

Would you buy Bang for your husband or boyfriend? What do you think of the ad?
