SUMMER BUTT WATCH

                    SUMMER BUTT WATCH
IT's used to be so easy to get into bikini shape when I was a teenager. Skip a couple of dinners, and those hips are gone. These days it's not that easy anymore. I have a theory about this. It's not just our metabolism that gets in the way. I believe that the older we get, the more we enjoy food, drink and lovely dinners. I can't say "no" to a nice glass of wine and some fantastic cheese. That's why vacations can be a little dangerous. We tend to let go more, drink more and snack more. We feel entitled after a tough year. So is there a way to have your cake and eat it too? I think so, if you have a plan. First of all, if you have kids - they can put you in shape. I started playing tennis with my boys this year. Anywhere we go we bring our rackets.
Every time we plan a road trip I keep my eyes open for a new piece of equipment that is compact. I don't know why I do it. I end up not using it. It's just not fun! A hike however can be interesting. Last year my girlfriend and I hiked to the lake and then skinny dipped. That didn't even feel like exercise. This year I hike up a very steep road and back. Basically, I'm earning my dinner and wine, and enjoying nature at the same time!

    
                            There is still hope for my Pilates Power Band. I got it out of the box!

                    THE SNAKE I SAW ON MY LAST HIKE. LOOKED POISONOUS!

      HOW TO TRICK YOUR APPETITE AND        EAT LESS!

just when you start cooking or changing for dinner, drink two 9 oz bottles of water. It works!!


                      
                      AMAZING PRODUCT

ORIGINS SPOT REMOVER

I was skeptical about this product because I've tried several brands with minimal or no success. This one really works. Even a big blemish that would usually take 5 days to go away was gone in two days. Thumbs up!


         PRODUCT I DIDN'T CARE ABOUT

                                                    ORIGINS ORGANIC DEODORANT




I am looking for a good deodorant. Someone said that antiperspirants are not the best choice. There is a reason why we sweat. This one has a very strong herbal scent. I had to shower twice to get rid of it. Not the one!








                                           PRACTICAL ADVICE  


If you travel with young kids, even if they are potty trained always have an emergency bathroom back up. An empty bottle for boys, and a pull up for girls.
The other day we got stuck for an hour in the middle of a freeway due to a massive accident. We needed both.
