Zuzanna does Yoga, And you should too!

•October 3, 2009 • Leave a Comment

I don’t do Yoga as much as I should, But I do really enjoy it.

All you need to get started is a Yoga mat and a Yoga video, Or you can find free moves and videos online.

Like the one below….

That is one move. You could keep adding yoga moves to create you own total yoga workout.

If you need a yoga mat, atYogaAccessories.com is where you can find a nice thick sticky one on sale.

I have only tried a about 3 yoga DVD’s.

  1. P90X Yoga video:   Very Long, and the first part is very annoying!!!!
  2. I can’t remember the name of it…..
  3. YogaButt by: YogaFit/Beth Shaw

My personal favorite is YogaButt. You can buy it with a “YogaButt Ball” sounds weird…huh?

YogaButt is only like 45mins, She picked the right moves at the right time, Everything flows very nicely.

There is no weird breathing methods

  • Her voice is not annoying
  • Simple, but very effective moves
  • Gives you a nice yoga workout

Workout & have fun,

Alexa Chung, Likes to keep it Cool

•September 15, 2009 • Leave a Comment

Alexa Chung,

She is tall, She is skinny, she is a model, she is a big TV host…. and she owns her own style.

I don’t know if my predictions are right but, to me the 25-year-old Brit seems like the next Mary-Kate.

In the way she inspires fashion and starts new trends.

I like her style.   to be honest she reminds me of a little girl from the 1920s that lived in an orphanage.

Random…yes I know.

Well, More about her style, I would describe it as…

Tom-Boyish, Luxury classic, simple,  with a pinch of punk and feminine.

again, those long spider legs….

“I like serious fashion for girls who don’t take fashion too seriously. Luella does this brilliantly.” Alexa Chung-

“I believe in dressing to suit your shape. I don’t have cleavage, so I flash my long legs instead.” Alexa Chung-

This picture is my favorite! and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the sweater!!

This is my second fav! Simple and chic.

These photos were from Marie Claire September 09

If you like Alexa Chung style, Comment about it, or if you don’t…Still write a comment!

The Hottest Trends for Fall 09

•September 9, 2009 • 1 Comment

I am so over summer, I want fall right know. I live in the Sun Shine state so I bet you know why I am very ready for Fall.

In November I will be going up north for a family trip, I will soak up every orange leaf that I see. The trees down here don’t seen to like the color red or orange, They are very content staying GREEN or falling off the tree brown.

I like Fall and winter clothes alot more than summer clothes.

I love layering,       And that fact that I don’t have to worry about bra straps, That’s really nice..

Here are the hottest Treads for Fall/ Winter 09

1# Plaid

British Tweed Skirt $88.00

Soho Blazer $168.00

“Fashion is Mad for Plaid- I adore the brighter takes,

but if you’re hesitant, try one on like a tailored piece,

a sheath or a pencil skirt”

Isaac Mizrahi-

1#Military Jackets

Equestrian Coat by MM Couture $116.00

This jacket is a triple threat…

  1. The jacket is cropped…(Very IN for Fall09)
  2. Notice the military details …….(Very IN for Fall09)
  3. The color tan is great for all skin types….(Very IN for Fall09)

What to wear with this jacket??

Plaid slacks, a pencil skirt or  a turtle neck would look cute.

Castle Peak Jacket $62.00

  1. This has major military details going on…(Very IN for Fall09)
  2. Fashion is all about having fun, And I bet you would have fun wearing this awesome jacket!

What to wear with this jacket??

I think this jacket would look really cute with a mini skirt and boots!

or you could wear jeans, boots and a colorful scarfs for a safer approach.

Celebs love this look:

3#Leather

Faux Leather Hooded Zip Vest US$68.00

I have always had a soft spot for leather, It is so lasting in quality and style.

Well, this vest is not made out of real leather, But it looks very cool. I could wear it so many different ways.

Vila Skinny Leather Trouser £42.00


French Connection Leather High Waist Pencil £175.00

Leather Casquette $58.00

I love these hats, They are so flattering. I want to get one before our trip.

Ashley Olsen Wears her leather jacket so simple and pretty.

Olivia Palmero always dresses to the T!!!! Shes great.

Wow Alexa Chung legs are barley there. I like her, I cut my bangs because of her.

There are so many more trends that I want to post, But I think I will save it for my next post.

I hope you like what I picked.

Let me know what you think..

Lemon Juice is GOLD!!

•September 1, 2009 • 1 Comment

To me lemons are amazing!!

we all know what they taste like, and that they can be very good squeezed on your favorite fish.

or made into Lemonade.

But lemons are more then that..

  1. Put 10 lemons into a big bowl or glass vase and WA–LAA you have a pretty decoration.
  2. dampen hair with lemon juice, lay in the sun, and your hair gets a little lighter!
  3. Sometimes at restaurants I’ll take a lemon slice, rub it in my hands to clean them.
  4. Rub lemon on dry spots on your body like your elbows. it will moisturize them.
  5. Drink warm lemon juice with honey and a little water to help a sore throat, lost voice or to prepare you before you sing.
  6. Because lemon juice contains such a high concentration of Vitamin C, it has been known to help strengthen teeth and gum’s.
  7. Mix lemon juice and water and use as a hair rinse after you wash your hair. It will make your hair shiny.
  8. Some people like to use it to Detox, But I don’t believe in detoxing..Your body runs great on its own. you don’t need to starve yourself to clean you body out!!!!LOL Just eat good old fashion FOOD! not CRAP!

Ok now for the real show stopper…..Lemon juice also calms and helps acne!!!!

I just started doing this too!

I have a bad habit of picking at my whiteheads/blackheads witch then turn into zits…:(

I try not to do it..but sometimes I do. after I do,  My face feels and looks really bad.

red, inflamed and open pores that can absorb anything that touches them. (thats how I feel atleast)

So I came across this girls blog, and she said lemon juice was good for your face.

Just take a cut lemon wedge and rub all over your face,(Squeezing as you rub) and leave on for 5 mins.

so I tried it, and boy did it STING!!!!

if you don’t have zits I don’t think it would sting.

I could hardly bare it.

Here is what I noticed:

  • Tighter face( in a good way)
  • my pores were tighter
  • all my redness went way down
  • and the places that I picked at were smaller
  • I felt refreshed and better

So give it a try, wither you have acne or not I think it would benefit you.

Also comment below if you have other ways to use Lemon Juice. I would love to know.

Thanks, WholeMilk-

Stretch Marks

•August 17, 2009 • 1 Comment

STRETCH MARKS

Striae gravidarum, or stretch marks as they are more commonly known, will appear in 50-90 percent of all pregnant women due to the stretching of the skin most often in the sixth and seventh months. These marks appear as red or purple lines on the lower abdomen, breasts, buttocks, lower back and thighs. Stretch marks occur in the dermis, the middle layer of the skin that contains Elastin, the component that gives the skin its elasticity. These harmless marks on the skin can be lessened with preventative measures and proper care although nothing can actually prevent them from occurring 100 percent.

WILL I GET STRETCH MARKS?

Stretch marks are more likely to appear if you gain more weight than recommended during your pregnancy or weight is gained or lost rapidly. You are more likely to get stretch marks if your mother or sister had them. African American women are less likely to get stretch marks than Caucasian or Asian women. If you have stretch marks from a previous pregnancy, you can expect a darkening or an extension of the old marks.

WHAT CAN I DO TO PREVENT STRETCH MARKS?

Keep your body well hydrated. Healthy, hydrated skin stretches better. Avoid caffeine which can increase the likelihood of getting stretch marks. Consume foods that promote good skin health like fruits and vegetables for Vitamins A and C, nuts for zinc and lean meats and fish for protein. Using a body brush or cloth to gently exfoliate the areas of possible stretching improves circulation which may help. Keeping the skin moisturized at all times will make the stretching more comfortable and less itchy. Age, skin tone and diet all factor into whether or not you will get stretch marks and to what degree.

MUSCLE OIL

A combination of essential oils and Vitamins A and D to keep skin well nourished and moisturized during pregnancy. Apply along with Vitamin E Body Lotion daily for best results.


Muscle Oil (1 oz.)
– $ 20.00
Prevent Stretch Marks. Our exclusive blend of natural essential oils and vitamins prevent stretch marks from forming. Enriched with Vitamin A, D & E, our formulation makes skin supple and enhances elasticity. Lightweight and easily absorbed.

Vitamin E Body Lotion (Wheat Germ) (16 oz.)
– $ 22.00
Our Vitamin E Body Lotion is enriched with Wheat Germ Oil and Peanut Oil to help hydrate dry skin. It also contains Honey Extract to help seal the skins moisture while it offers a delicate fresh scent.

CAN I MAKE MY STRETCH MARKS DISAPPEAR?

Stretch marks will fade to a white or silvery color over time but may not disappear entirely. There are surgical methods available such as laser, chemical peels and dermabrasion for those who wish to reduce stretch marks more significantly. As a tip for camouflaging the stretch marks, apply our Self Tanning Lotion directly on the white or silver marks with a cotton swab so they darken slightly. Then apply to the overall area to blend the color.


Self Tanning Lotion (SPF-15) (4 oz.) – $ 12.00

Drinking water is very important, And eating all your veggies!

More Zuzana From: BodyRock.TV

•August 14, 2009 • Leave a Comment

I plan on working out more this next week. My biggest motivator is myself, But…Zuzana makes you want to push yourself to other limits!

Here is what I want to try from her video’s:

Its called:   The Best 20 Minute Cardio Workout

20 mins? Not bad…

This looks hard, I have tried her lower body workout, I liked it and it was a good workout.

I like her workouts because she does her workouts in rounds. Then your done with that move.

You don’t do 1 set then you still have 2 more sets after you do a different move.

With  zuzanas workouts you do one workout move till its done, After that you don’t have to think about that move anymore.

And you just do what you can, AND her voice is not all hyper and annoying.

I guess its just the way I think. I just want to get it done!!

The Scarlett (Johansson) Blond Bob

•August 6, 2009 • 2 Comments

This is the bleached blonde bob that Mrs. Ryan Reynolds is sporting in the new Mango campaign.

I love this cut, I stumbled across the picture on www.jackandhill.net

that I have found to be lovely.

I recently had my first hairdresser experience about 3 weeks ago.

My good friend wanted a shorter hairstyle and thought I could do a good enough good till she got

a real haircut from a real hairdresser.

I was very skeptical at first because, #1 I have no experience and #2 I myself had a very bad  experience of my friend cutting my hair for the same reason when I was about 13.

She said, “I think I’m getting the hang of this”

Then 5mins later one side was to my chin and the other to the middle of my face!!!!

I think we both cried…I was really embarrassed so I pined it all up so so when I went home no one would notice!

The word got out and everyone wanted a peak at the horrible cut. My friend has lots of sister-in-laws and they hounded me like the paparazzi. NO JOKE!

Well, back to my friend..I decided I would do it, I would just go really really slow.

How bad could that be?

So I did go slow, I cut it to mid neck length.

Here is the photo we went off of.

Very cute…Huh?

at first it was really blunt, unlike the photo.

so I went in and tried to give it some more texture.

It was not perfect at all but good enough to wear and it made me proud. :)

I think Scarlett’s haircut would be really cute on my friend.

And no I’m not interested in giving it another go, layers are quite stressing..

She can have a pro do it.

For some reason when I post, I start off with one subject then end with another.

Do other blogger’s have this problem?

I went from Scarlett, to my friend, to myself, to my friend..

ohh well.

as always, WholeMilk-
