10 Ways to Feel Sexy!

With Valentine’s Day coming up, I thought it would be fun to make a list of easy reminders that we can all do to feel sexy!!!

  After having 3 kids, sometimes you need to remind yourself things like this!!  

Am I right?

I keep seeing super cute Valentine mantels, tablescapes and crafts all over blogland and that is great.  

I will do some crafts with my kiddos of course, but I can paint a whole room pink and my hubby would probably not notice or care.  It would not put him in the Valentines mood at all, lol!

I know what would get his attention and that would be him seeing me feel great about myself and looking my best for him!  Some new Victoria Secret undergarments wouldn’t hurt either, lol!

I don’t know what we are going to do on the big V-day but I know I want it to be something romantic  where we can tell each other how much we love each other after 8 1/2 years of marriage!  

I think it is important for couples to make time for each other, no matter what else is going on!  

I love dating my husband and I really get excited about date nights!

TOP 10 WAYS TO FEEL SEXY this Valentine’s Day!

1) SMILE.  

Smiling is extremely sexy and you look way more attractive!

2) GO OUT.  

I always feel better just getting out of the house.  You feel better after getting fresh air.  Don’t hibernate in your house!

3) WORKOUT.  

I don’t care what shape or size you are, you will ALWAYS feel better about your self after a good sweat!  Exercise gives you endorphins which will kick your sexiness is high gear!

4) DRESS UP.  

Black yoga pants may be super cozy and that is great but they are not sexy!  This is a hard one for me because I love my yoga pants but try putting on some cute jeans, black leggings with boots or even a skirt.  That will for sure change your cat walk!

5) DRINK WATER.  

Water is important for so many reasons.  You will be more hydrated and your skin will look great! 

6)  DANCE.  

Put on your favorite Pandora station and dance around to some upbeat, motivating music!  Come on, we all do it, lol, don’t we?

7) SHOWER.  

I always feel awesome after a nice, long, hot shower with my favorite shower gel and a new razor.  Get those legs silky smooth!

8) HIGH HEELS. 

I love heels, especially being on the shorter side.  (I am 5’4”.)  Heels make you walk sexier and elongates your legs.  Plus, they are super cute!!

9)  DITCH THE GRANNY PANTIES.  

I don’t care what you say, granny panties are not sexy!  Get some new ones, try a new color or something with lace.

10)  WEAR MAKE-UP.  

You don’t have to put on much, but it will make you feel better!  I will always use a little more mascara and lip gloss to feel great!  I little goes a long way!

So there is my list!  

I know there are a lot more things to do but this is a simple list that everyone can do starting now!!

What other things do you do to feel great about yourself?  

Please share!

What are you doing for Valentine’s Day?

How to Celebrate Heart Health Month!

February is American Heart Month—a reminder to all that, yes, heart disease continues to be the leading cause of death in the United States! According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , someone has a heart attack every 25 seconds in America, and someone will die from a heart attack every minute! Pretty frightening statistics, given that many risk factors for heart disease can be significantly reduced with modest lifestyle changes.

Although some risk factors—such as age and family history—can’t be controlled, most risk factors can! Making healthful food choices, being physically active, losing weight if overweight, and supplementing your diet with key nutrients that promote heart health are strategies you can implement to improve and protect the health of the most important organ in your body—your heart.

  
Start by looking to improve your food choices: Try to eliminate fast foods, which, in general, deliver unhealthy amounts of saturated and trans fats, along with excessive sugar and calories. Make a commitment to eat more fiber-rich whole grains and legumes. Look to include more fresh fruits and vegetables, plus a couple of servings per week of omega-3-rich fish such as salmon. Limit your intake of sweets and watch for higher sodium content of many processed foods.

 
Be more active! Physical activity not only helps lower blood pressure and cholesterol, it helps control your weight, reduces stress and anxiety, and improves blood circulation. If you’re among the two-thirds of Americans who are overweight, improving your diet and boosting your physical activity will help you lose those extra pounds—and also promote a healthy heart. Our Cinch Inch Loss Plan is a comprehensive weight management program that is clinically tested and helps to support metabolism.

 
When it comes to heart-smart supplementation, Shaklee OmegaGuard is a great place to start! It provides a full spectrum of seven naturally occurring omega-3 fatty acids found in fish, including concentrated levels of DHA and EPA, the most beneficial omega-3s. OmegaGuard not only supports a healthy heart and cardiovascular system, it also supports healthy brain, vision, and joint function. And I’ve got more good news! We’ve taken the same great OmegaGuard formula and repackaged in two new sizes.

For people who are not using an omega-3 product, we are now offering a 60-count bottle with the recommendation of taking two softgels per day, which will deliver 667 mg of omega-3 fatty acids, or the equivalent of the American Heart Association’s recommendation for people who do not have heart disease. This will provide a lower-priced entry point for new consumers, in particular. Also, this is a perfect amount to add to Vitalizer as the combination of OmegaGuard+ Vitalizer will deliver over the 1000 mg of omega-3 fatty acids that my Health Science team and I recommend.

 

For additional heart-health support, don’t forget about our Cholesterol Reduction Complex and
CoQHeart. Cholesterol Reduction Complex features a blend of plant sterols and stanols to
help naturally lower cholesterol levels.  CoQHeart features coenzyme Q10, a key nutrient
for cellular energy production, antioxidant protection, and healthy heart-muscle function.
Combined with OmegaGuard, you have a power trio of products to address heart health from
several different fronts!

I hope that this is a great motivator to take care of your and your families hearts!!!!

Happy Heath Health Month! :)

What do you do to take care of your heart?

This information was from Dr. Jamie McManus, M.D.  :)

Come back tomorrow to read how I organize my cleaning schedule and get ready to link up your cleaning schedule!!!

Exercise Keeps Cancer Away‏

Most of you probably don’t know, 

but,

I am a Certified Personal Trainer and I feel that exercise is really important.

I just found this letter from a Doctor explaining how exercise can help prevent cancer.

So…

Here are the Doctor’s Orders…

OK guys; listen up. We need to have a heart to heart
talk about exercise
 

Sometimes it seems as if exercise is the step child of
a healthy lifestyle.
 
Taking supplements is easy, and most of us can manage a
healthy diet - when we think of it...
 
...but exercise - who has time?
 
The more we learn, the more it looks like we should
really make the time to exercise on a regular basis.
 
For example, a study reported in the British Journal of
Cancer (98: 1864-1869, 2008) showed that moderate
exercise significantly reduces cancer incidence and
decreases cancer deaths in men.
 
This study followed 40,708 Swedish men, aged 45-79,
from 1998 to 2004.
 
When men who walked or cycled an average of 30 minutes
a day were compared to men who exercised very little
there was a 5% (non-significant) decrease in the
incidence of new cancer and a 33% increase in 5-year
survival after the cancer diagnosis!
 
When they looked at men who walked or cycled an average
of 60 minutes a day the 5-year survival after cancer
diagnosis was about the same as for the men who were
exercising for 30 minutes a day.
 
But, there was a statistically significant 16% decrease
in the incidence of new cancer diagnosis compared to
men who exercised very little.

What does this mean to me and you?
 
If you are a man, this study shows that moderate
intensity exercise has the potential to decrease both
your chance of developing cancer and your survival if
you do get cancer - and as little as 30 minutes of
exercise a day can make a difference.
 
But the sad fact is that less than 50% of the men in
this country exercise for 30 minutes even 5 days a week
- and 15% are bone fide couch potatoes.

 
So it's time to dust off that exercise cycle or lace up
your walking shoes and get moving.
 
 
To Your Health!
Dr. Stephen G Chaney

Please pass this information along and help prevent cancer through exercising!

Have a great day!

Bonnie :)
