Time To Get Ready for the Bikinis and Swim Trunks
** Those beautiful days of summer are almost back and if the thought of relaxing by the pool, drinking mai tai's and feeling the sun rays beaming down on your face sends your stress levels soaring then you are probably suffering from swimsuit shopping syndrome!
No worries though I promise it appears designers in all magazines have come up with an assortment of sexy swimwear for all shapes and sizes. What's hot for summer? Big buckles, polka dots, retro swirls, florals and bandeau bikini tops.
** I love this swimsuit by Victoria's Secret! www.victoriassecret.com My ticket to paradise. I'm craving a weekend in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico.
** If you are looking for a little motivation in getting ready for that bikini or pair of swim trunks then you must pick up the "just released" book One Body, One Life by Gregory JouJon-Roche. Jou-Jon Roche provides recipes for his Eleven-day detoxifying cleanses. The fiber-filled juices rev your metabolism.
** Drink the Liver Flush and 8 ounces of Master Cleanser in the morning and then sip the remaining Master Juice during the day. Pair with lots of low-calorie salads and you'll lose 10 lbs and keep it off!
The Master Cleanser Juice of 1 lemon, 32 ounces of spring water, 11/2 teaspoons of maple syrup honey, 1 pinch ground clove or 1/2 teaspoon whole clove.
The Liver Flush 1/2 peeled lemon, 2 peeled oranges, 1 ounce of olive oil, 1 sprigs of parsley, 1 pinch each of pepper, cayenne powder and ground clove
** I think the secret to losing weight is to eat every 3 hours a day! Nutritionist and 3-Hour-Diet author Jorge Cruise has the perfect low cal meal plan for a day
Breakfast
** breakfast taco with 1 egg, 2 corn tortillas, avocado and salsa with one orange sliced (at snack time (3 hours later) drink a 7 oz smoothie)
Lunch
** A Healthy Choice Cheesy Rice and Chicken (snack time: a pear)
Dinner
** Lean Cuisine Swedish Meatballs and Pasta and 2 cups spinach salad with no dressing
Dessert
** My favorite and I can't wait to try these! Mini ice cream sandwichs. 4 reduced fat Nilla Wafers, and 1/4 cup fat-tree vanilla ice cream.
Yoga Booty Ballet
** Los Angeles and New York has the hottest work-out classes. I'm so jealous! Luckily there are DVD's! This is a workout that meshes dance and yoga- and is filled with fun and booty shaking giving you a kick-A@& workout. The 90-minute workout includes high-velocity aerobics, ballet for strength, and toning and yoga for flexibility and inner peace. www.beachbody.com
** My favorite line of work-out gear. (you must look cute at the gym!) is anything by Stella McCartney. From footwear to apparel and accessories her line is trendy but practical. I love this light jacket especially the color! Buy anthing Stella at www.shopadidas.com
** Random thought... did you know that if you have to pee you should fantasize about Jessica Simpon or George Clooney. Thinking about sex preoccupies your brain so you won't feel as much discomfort.
** Something new for summer. Check out thes LandRollers. Rollerblades with two oversized wheels. If they look intimidating check out their video on their site, it may change your mind. www.landroller.com
** Check out iAmplify. iPod heaven! Downloadables for your iPod. They even have downloadable instruction sheets. Working out is actually sounding fun right now. www.iamplify.com
I'm off to ride my bike............ have a good weekend. Kanye West "Gold Digger" a must for your iPod. (and I'm not sure you know but I am hired by BluDomain to offer temporary comic relief in times of need, I'm a slave to everyone that "really" works at BluDomain as I do lots of the petty stuff but necessary stuff and most of all I'm intern to the creative director. But most of you only know me as Blu's Daily Blog Columnist.
