This is what I made for dinner today.  It’s really quick & easy to prepare and of course super healthy 😉  As I am sure you beauty-smarties know, food has such a big impact on our bodies and on our looks. Glowing skin, healthy hair, strong nails and bones are derived from healthy food choices. It’s so good to include fruit and veggies in your diet and of course lots of water. If you take care of your body, it will take care of you. All the ingredient used to make this are cancer fighting, and oh-so-good for your body. Here’s a little breakdown: QuinoaThis is an ancient power food and/or “super grain”. It’s a great source of protein and it is a healthy gluten-free carbohydrate, so it will give you energy. TomatoTomatoes are great for your skin in particular because they contain a lot of vitamin C and they are packed with powerful antioxidants to help keep your body healthy. They also contain a lot of vitamin A and K which are also good for your eyes and hair. I sometimes just slice up a tomato if I want something healthy to snack on. AvocadoA really healthy fat containing a lot of vitamin E, which is great for your skin and hair.  CeleryI love the crunchiness of celery, especially combined with softer foods like avocado and tomato. Celery is great for reducing inflammation and water weight in the body. It also has a lot of antioxidants and is rich […]

Hello beautiful! How is your weekend going? I want to tell you about this new workout DVD which is sculpting and toning me up like no other! A few weeks ago I was looking into different Pilates studios in the city, but they were all so expensive! I used to go once in a while, but paying $15-$25 a class is a little steep if you want to do it regularly. So I went online and literally googled “best Pilates DVD” and I came across something even more amazing! I discovered the Tracy Anderson Mat Workout DVD, and I had seen her many times on TV training different models and celebrities (and she’s also been featured on E! News a few times). I’ve been to hundreds of different workout classes with different instructors, and her workout is definitely in my top 3. Plus it’s on a convenient DVD and I bought it for $9.99!! That is just crazy. I like her’s especially, because she emphasizes on lean long muscles, and her workouts wont “bulk” you up since she’s constantly changing the moves and making you use every muscle you can think of. You will look like a lean dancer! And I can already see some really nice definition in my abs and arms.  It’s important to remember however, as with any workout – you have to keep switching it up! Otherwise your body will get used to it – so it won’t have to “adapt” therefor you won’t get results. So I’m going to continue with her DVD but switch it up once […]

Good morning angels! Filmed a health video yesterday, talking about 5 ways that you can get healthy starting today. Simple little things that can make such a big difference! I love that you guys are interested in my health videos 🙂 It’s such an important part of beauty.  Something I didn’t mention is to drink as much WATER during the day as possible! I am sure you guys have heard that before, but it is SO important for beautiful and healthy bodies. Also, when working out and eating healthy, instead of thinking “I’m doing this to be skinny”, replace it with “I want to be HEALTHY and FEEL & LOOK amazing”. You will get a lot further with a smart and healthy attitude and your results will be much better!  Helpful Links: ♥ Life Regenerator (juicing & health videos): http://www.youtube.com/user/liferegenerator  ♥ TUMBLR Health & Fitness BLOGS (great for motivation & inspiration!) – http://thefitmiss.tumblr.com/ – http://live–love–fitness.tumblr.com/ – http://andthenirun.tumblr.com/ – http://healthy-inspiration.tumblr.com/ Here’s a little closer look of the makeup I am wearing in the video.

Plus healthy food is bright and colorful, which means it contains lots of antioxidants which are great for clear glowing skin 🙂

After uploading the video earlier this evening I decided to go for a nice long run by the water. It happened to be right around sunset, and the sky was gorgeous! Just had to stop to take some photos. The sky was literally blue, purple and pink! Definitely had a nice view for my run. I went for about an hour and a half, alternating between walking, jogging, running, leg and ab workouts as well as the occasional sprint to get my heart beat up. Been craving a nice run for a while, it felt so good! Totally feeling super accomplished now 🙂 Healthy Food Inspiration Log Breakfast:  – Oatmeal with cinnamon & blueberries – Large cup of green tea (usually have it twice a day)  Lunch: – Plain grilled chicken (nothing too exciting lol but just had some left over) – Watermelon  Dinner: – Made a mango smoothie – bought 3 organic mangos today after my run 🙂 – Brown rice spicy salmon & avocado sushi (8 psc) What did you eat today? Let me know below! Definitely going to make another mango smoothie tomorrow for breakfast, it was delicious! Now I’m going to hop into bed and watch some late night talk shows 🙂 XOXO
