90 days of Booty Blasting!
So today is my 10th day on my 90 days of Booty Blasting Cardio Challenge! I am already seeing results. My main goal for this 90 day challenge is to be accountable for completing at least 30 minutes of cardio every day, along with a designated resistance training or abdominal workout.
I have always enjoyed lifting and being active but for some reason when I get stressed and overwhelmed with life I do just the opposite of what I know is best for me as far as getting my workouts in and eating right. I have always been an emotional eater for as long as I can remember, the crazy thing for me is I know everything to do to get my body in to shape. I have transformed my body in a major way after I had my son in 2005 so I am on a Bootay Blasting mission!
In 80 days from now my goal is to be a stronger, leaner version of myself. I have started taking some new supplements which I am finding helpful. I take L Carnatine for metabolism and L-GLutamine for recovery and I find both of the supplements to really work. I have a pic of where I was before and when I was training and teaching my Bikini Boot Camps three days a week and this time I plan to look better then that!

Sensative skin and Anti Aging
If you are in your early 20's all the way to your 100's then you should familiarize yourself with PHA's otherwise known as Poly Hydroxy Acids.
Poly Hydroxy acid is a multiple strand molecule with a large size so penetration in to the skin happens at a slower, more gently absorbed in to the skin, with a reduction in stinging and irritation that some anti aging facial products have.
PolyHydroxy acids are RECOMMENDED for people with sensitive skin,roceasa,eczema,seborrhea (abnormal cell turnover), psoriasis, as well as keratosis Pilaris! Wow AMAZING! PHA's are anti aging and SAFE for sensitized skin!
PHA'S are water soluble and contain three different types of acids:
Lactobionic acid- Comes from the lactose in cows milk; an acid that is chemically connected to sugar that is also a biological and natural occurring ingredient in our skin.
Galactose- A component of lactobionic acid which may enhance wound healing.
Gluconic acid- found naturally occurring in cells. Seen in skin care products as gluconolactone and is also a component of lactobionic acid.
PHA'S gently absorb in to the skin, help the skin to exfoliate, even out fine lines/wrinkles, and help the skin cells to regenerate for fresh glowing skin!
So now that you are in the know about PHA'S and you are as excited as I am to start using them in your daily anti aging skin care where can you find such an amazing product ..... May I suggest http://www.neostrata.com/

Cargo Cosmetics web site goes LIVE today!
As most of you know one of my passions is creating fantasy and glamour looks with makeup. I have many makeup lines that I use on my clients however one of my favorite lines is CARGO cosmetics! I have had so much FUN in 2010 working with the AMAZING ladies of CARGO. I first discovered CARGO at my job and I was trained by an amazing CARGO freelance makeup artist Sarah Livingstone from Southern California. Sarah was so professional, and passionate about the line she had me captivated with all of her product knowledge, application tips, and her vivacious personality! Needless to say Sarah and I became friends and I soon switched all of my complexion and bronzers over to CARGO! In 2010 I officially became a CARGO addict. I believe in this product so much. The quality of ingredients ( Love that it is loaded with vitamin C) as well as the innovative packaging.
CARGO is a makeup artists dream line! Everything in CARGO is multi use and multi functional ( I highly recommend the essential pallets for your kits ladies). The foundation and Blu Ray powder will amaze you, the application of the foundation is smooth and your clients will fall in love! My clients rave about how light and natural the products feel! The Blu Ray line is all High Definition makeup created for the HD film camera which makes this line a plus for any makeup artist.
As a makeup artist and photographer I can tell you first hand how important it is that your clients have photo friendly makeup. When I use Blu Ray powder on my clients for photo shoots, weddings, family portraits etc It makes such a difference the skin comes out looking instantly photo shopped and I hardly have to use my special tools in photo shop.
My latest training with CARGO cosmetics was with Renee Ryan and April Wolldridge at the Ocean House restaurant in Carlsbad California. We had an amazing luncheon and got inside info on the new Spring and Summer CARGO products and I can tell you one thing the future is BRIGHT for CARGO! I am so excited to get the swimables again! The Swimables are waterproof eyeliners great for Spring and Summer!
If You are as excited about CARGO products as I am or you are ready to purchase your first CARGO product today is your LUCKY day the CARGO web site went live today, and shopping starts January the 17th They are offering a SPECIAL for 20 % off if you sign up to be a CARGO insider.
