Sipping On Greena Colada’s and Strap Perfect Review

Posted on 14. Jul, 2010 by kris.

Hey Everyone!

Happy Mid-Week!!  From Wednesday on, everyone seems to get progressively happier.  As I watch everyone evolve in smiles and cheers over the 3 days, I can’t help but chuckle.  I think it is so neat to watch people transform into “weekend mode”.  There are no worries in “weekend mode” and especially SUMMER weekends!!

Yesterday was a “getter done day”.  I didn’t leave the house until late afternoon when I headed to my Detox appointment.  Last October I did the 12 sessions on the detox machine and had to follow as strict diet.  This detox machine removes the toxins, impurities and cellulite from your  body without breaking down the muscles.  In fact, it stimulates the muscles for toning as it removes the bad.

Every few months I will try to get back in for a “maintenance” appointment ;)  Gotta keep the cellulite at bay ;)

I will post a short video on this tomorrow!

Thank you all for liking my Favourite 2 Things from yesterday.  I think I could put RPatz on my Fave list everyday, but I will resist.

Today’s 2 Favourite things are:

Strap Perfect – The Ultimate Bra Strap Solution!

Holy moly, do these little plastic suckers work or what!?

The other day Michelle (sister) and I were out and about and decided we wanted to hit up Staples (the stationary store) to look for day planners….and sticky notes.  Anyways, on the way to the sticky note section we walked past an As Seen On TV wall and there they were – Strap Perfect boxes lining the wall.

We both have wanted these for some time now.  I think it is FAB that you can rock your favourite non racer back bra with any racerback tank, top, or workout gear now. PLUS, hello, who doesn’t want the extra “oomph” and cup size?!

I am all over these Strap Perfects right now.  I used mine for the first time yesterday and love, love, LOVED it.  I found it very comfortable and it stayed in place very nicely ;)  I wear a lot of racer back tanks during the summer and always find that the cross back bra’s never fit me properly.  Now I have the best of both worlds!

Greena Colada’s!

For breakfast yesterday I made something new.  I was flat out of my usual Vega Whole Food Health Optimizer, so I decided to use some Tropical Tango Shake & Go instead!

Oh.My.Goodness.  I rocked 2 tbsp Tropical Tango, 1/2 frozen banana, 1 tsp chia seeds, 1 cup hemp milk, 2 handfuls spinach, some sprinkles of unsweetened coconut.

Ummm need I say more?  I was chillaxing on a patio in Maui the whole time I was drinking this. No, really I was on the couch reading Eclipse, just as good ;)

Today’s plans will include some Gym time, Online Work, Working with my sister, Laundry and Eclipse!!!

Have you ever used Strap Perfect??  Do you ever purchase “As Seen On TV” items??  What was the last “crazy” item you purchased?

Rising Trends Right Now

Posted on 09. Jul, 2010 by kris.

Hey Everyone!!

Happy Friday!  It is so GLORIOUS there again today with temps reaching scorching!  How is your day going so far??

Any Friday news I need to hear about?

As humans we tend to go through many trends throughout the months, the year, and our lifetime.  Here are some of the Hot Rising trends right now!

Inhaling Coffee?? – Check it out, you can seriously inhale your morning joe.  www.LeWhif.com sells these inhalers that are java or chocolate flavoured!  These inhalers have been invented by a Harvard engineer and actually have caffeine in them.  This is a great way to curb cravings if you are slowing down on the joe ;)

Placing Your Relationship For Others To Decide – Maybe your dad told you that “he isn’t good for you”, well you can have others be the judges of that!  Upload photos of you and your man to www.CanDoBetter.com and have others decide if you are a match made in heaven or on your way to the dumps.  CRAZINESS!

Don’t Hide How You Really Feel! – It has recently been proven that people who ARE true to themselves are not just happier, but have stronger relationships and feel deeper love and intimacy.  Stop holing how you really feel!!  Just share your true self with the world ;)

Get Your Read On! - Hahaha, you know I am going to tell you to read the Twilight Saga ;)  Just Kidding! It has gotten way more “cool” nowadays admitting that you are a reader.  Book stores have been increasingly more busy over the last few years and more people are taking the time to curl up with a good book.  While reading a good book you are taken away from the everyday stresses, it allows you some “you” time and brings relaxation in the body.

For myself, honestly I have not read a Fiction book in YEARS since beginning to read this romantic vampire story…..*sigh*  It feels amazing to bring myself back to my teenage years ;)

White Watches!  - My sis and I were just discussing yesterday how we would love to have a nice white watch!  For us to find the correct white watch that swirls in our heads it must fit this criteria:

Large (mans style with linked band)
Silver accents
A tiny bit of bling

Something similar to this :)

watch

I have some FUN questions for you today!

WHAT 5 blogs do you follow on a daily, and WHY?  I would love to hear some in-depth answers to what draws you back to a blog ;)  Would you try the LeWhif coffee inhaler?

Have a fab Friday!

To Your Glam Life,

Seeing Stars on a Sunny Day

Hey Everyone!

Happy Mid Week to you ALL!

How have your days been treating you?  I hope you have been able to be out and enjoy some of the beautiful summer weather wherever you are ;)

This week is going to be AMAZING here in Vancouver and I am already getting my A/C unit dusted off and ready to rev up.  Who knows if I will actually need it this, but we figured  just in case ;)

Yesterday was another day out with my sister.  Again we headed to our fave spot for some Americano’s, business, chatting and people watching.

As we were soaking up the rays these 2 girls kept walking by the coffee shop we were sitting outside of.  They were dressed very “instyle” and very trendy and I fell in love with the one girls hair.  Blond and perfectly wavy….

I think I said a comment to Michelle about  her hair or something and then Michelle went onto tell me that they are “Celebrities”!  They have their own t.v. show.

She said to me “they are on the family channel.”  I looked at her and asked “oh they have their own reality tv show?”

She looked at me kind of strangely….

This whole time I was thinking she was telling me they were on the LEARNING channel.  Not the FAMILY channel and I honestly had no idea who these two blond chicks were.

It turns out they sing on their own Disney show just like Hanna Montana.  I got to see in Real Life – Aly and Aj ;)

Who knew?!

Anyways for any of you out there who is interested in kids shows this might be important to you.  For me, it was just exciting to see some young people living their dreams ;)

I will be honest.  When we had cable and it was a rainy Sunday with nothing else to do or nothing else to surf on cable, I would watch a little Hanna Montana.  Is that wrong?  I used to love watching “fluff” shows that just kept me chuckling.  The brother was funny!  Don’t lie…..who else could watch this??  Any of you?

After our Star sighting we hit up the bookstore where my sister help me feed this addiction of mine and came with me to purchase the 3rd book – Eclipse. I am done New Moon and moving along quite nicely.

I am more in love with Edward everyday I think ;)  I think Ryan is getting jealous.

fitness

I have totally been rocking the P90X program for this last week and now I am on week 2!

I had a nice chat with Averie yesterday from LoveVeggiesAndYoga.com regarding weights, reps, and hot bodies ;)

On this second week I really want to chisel down and get more definition, so I started on a bit heavier weights and smaller reps.  Thanks again Averie for the tips!!

After a good workout I have been having a protein shake witch is usually  just some Vega Health Optimizer in some water.  Sometimes I will chug a full green smoothie because I am hungry, but not usually.

Does Anyone know how much protein you are to have right after a good weight workout?

What do you have right after a workout?

Do you ever watch “light and fluffy” television?  Favourite workout program (if you follow one)?

What are your thoughts about Chit Chatting while working out??
