What Would I Know Dot Com

I would be lying if I said it was not a daily struggle to live a healthy life.  Every morning at 5:50 the battle begins.  Ten minutes later I am either back asleep or up and ready to workout.  I have to continually remind myself that the feelings after eating and drinking well, exercising and a living healthy lifestyle far outweigh that of not bothering at all.

Think of it this way:  remember how you felt after that ice-cream, remember the cake you had?  Was the taste sensation really greater than the feelings afterwards?  Answer:  Probably not!  Let’s not also forget that temptation is all around us, every hour of every day.  It never ends! That’s why I always like to find products that make it easier to live the healthy lifestyle we continually strive to achieve.

Take RDA Organic for example.  You may be thinking the fruit juice market is inundated with all different types of products claiming to be natural and healthy.  They may claim to be natural but are they organic?  Is the fruit chosen specifically for its nutritional value?  These are all questions I ask.

RDA Organic juices are designed to make sure you are getting the best and most natural nutrients.  The variety of fruit that goes into each drink is just as important as the taste.  Take for example the apples that RDA Organic uses – Evesse organic.  These apples contain exceptional amounts of “flavanols” – nutrients that have cardiovascular benefits.  The apples are grown in the UK which means the fruit isn’t picked too young and ripens on the journey which in the end provides for a more flavourful juice.  The best part is that the fruit is picked from 100% organically certified farms.

Something I am still learning is to not take my body for granted.  Yes, I have the odd treat on the weekend but a majority of my week is spent devoted to maintaining a healthy lifestyle and RDA Organic helps me to achieve this goal.  RDA has a variety of organic juices:  PIP Organic Juices – a range of organic apple and orange juices with a twist available in 1 ltr bottles and RDA Squeezies – great for giving your kids a good start in life.  No doubt they will be producing more as time goes on.

I have literally been checking the market for the mother of all IPL machines for home use. Recently, I came across a product that is new to the market: E-one by E-Swin UK.
It is a larger machine than most conventional home IPL equipment and is made by the world’s largest IPL lamp manufacturer. Because it is a larger machine the power of the unit gives a better overall quality of hair removal. In this case, size and functionality does matter!

Having had laser treatment before in a professional salon, I was very interested to see if something was available for home use that was more cost effective than using professional methods. Only a few years ago the cost was enormous but now ‘do it yourself’ devices are flooding the beauty market and have become readily available and at a lower cost. When I was searching for a particular brand that a friend previously told me about I happened to come across E-one by E-Swin UK.

This is a new product manufactured and designed in France and it appears more advanced than any other home IPL device I have seen before. The design is far superior with touch screen controls, multi-function technology, safety controls and a variety of different colours. All the accessories you need are included for your sessions and not only that, the device is tailor-made for your skin and hair type. It is safe, painless and clinically proven to progressively remove hair permanently. Most IPL manufacturers state that their devices will only reduce hair growth. E-one by E-Swin UK, being the worlds largest IPL lamp manufacturer, will give you the complete reassurance that you are getting the best home hair removal product on the market.

What I really love about the E-Swin UK website is the in-depth information about the product. There are loads of videos on how to use the E-one by E-Swin UK machine, what the product does to your hair and talks through the safety features the E-one machine prides itself on. I really like the professional look and feel of the E-one by E-Swin UK!!

As you can tell I am extremely excited about this product. Home IPL will never be the same with E-one by E-Swin UK. Check it out today!! – E-one by E-Swin UK.

In my article, Rejuv Protocol, I wrote how I lost over a stone (roughly 9kg or 20 lbs for you Americans) near the end of last year.  Now that I had instilled discipline into my life I wanted to continue my efforts in losing the remaining fat and tone up my body.   For 2011, I was convinced there had to be a fitness regimen to meet this goal other than going for a 50 minute run each morning or spending large amounts of money on a gym membership.  Who really gets their money’s worth out of a gym anyways?  After pondering about what I should do, my husband pointed me in the direction of P90 or Power 90 by Beachbody (www.beachbody.com).

The P90 series includes a vast array of products:  P90, P90 Master Series, P90X and P90X Plus.  These are basically separate grades of exercise videos with a set time line of 90 days, hence the name P90.  They were developed in the USA by Tony Horton and Beachbody and encourage you to create a ‘boot-camp’ style workout in your home that consists of a variety of exercises: Yoga, Stretching, Cardio, Free Weights, Core Cardio, Cardio intervals and more.

To begin my new exercise regimen, I started off with the Power 90 series from www.beachbody.com.  The program consists of 4 levels grouped in 2 phases (1 and 2, 3 and 4) on two DVDs:

• Sweat (Level 1 and 2) – Consisting of pilates, kickboxing and cardio moves to burn fat fast.
• Sculpt (Level 1 and 2) - Simple moves that work to tone and strengthen your whole body.
• Sweat (Levels 3 and 4) – Adding more challenging moves to build leaner, stronger muscles.
• Sculpt (Levels 3 and 4) - Taking in up another level to burn more calories and increase fat burning.
• Ab Ripper 100 (Levels 1 and 2) & 200 (Levels 3 and 4) – Ab routines designed to give you the flat stomach you always desired.  10 different ab routines of 10 reps for 100 and 20 reps for 200.

Now you may be thinking the same thing I did….. let me assure you… it’s not the same old “Rah Rah” type of fitness program that what you may have seen and done before.. Promise!

They were perfect for starting a fitness program and may look easy but believe me, they are not.  Each day was different and challenging which I loved.  After a few months and having conquered the initial 90 days, I moved on to the next level of DVD – Sweat 3/4, Sculpt 3/4 and Ab Ripper 200.  Taking it up a notch kept my interest but once again after a considerable amount of time and again increasing my fitness level, I needed another challenge.  Initially, I was looking into P90X from www.beachbody.com when my husband said to me, “why don’t you try the P90 Master Series (P90MS) before you look for something else?”

I am now about 2 months in to P90MS and am loving the challenge.  He was right to suggest the P90 Master series first as I am no longer bored.  Every day I have a completely different workout.  The workouts are designed to get you faster and better results in the shortest amount of time possible.  This is all because of a what Tony calls “muscle confusion”; various exercises done on different days without a set routine simply “confuses” the muscle not to remember the exercises which it turn tricks it into thinking this is the first time you have been working out.  It is simple, doesn’t cost much and has made a profound difference in how I view exercise.  You simply just need to buy it!!

After only 2 months I am already starting to reap the rewards of this fat busting program. Check out P90, P90 Master Series and P90X (for you hardcore exercise fanatics!!) at www.beachbody.com and get the body you desire in just 90 days.

My next challenge is to take on P90X which I’ll write about in the coming months.  As Tony Horton would say, “BRING IT!”

I am always a bit suspicious when I hear about fast weight loss results.  More often than not you know something really works when one of your best friends turns up to a girls night out looking a lot thinner after only 3 weeks.  It made me curious and you’re probably wondering the same thing.  Ladies, this is revolutionary so I HAVE to tell you about it.  Anything that makes that much of a difference in a short amount of time is something I will definitely pay for – especially to get a body like my friend.  You know what… I did and it was all because of Rejuv Protocol.

If you’re like me and need to kick start your weight loss as well as correcting your sluggish metabolism, then Rejuv Protocol is the program for you.  Last year, I started Rejuv Protocol three weeks before my 30th birthday and what a birthday treat it was!  I lost over a stone (roughly 9kg or 20 lbs for you Americans) and reset my metabolism back to almost its perfect state – which is burning fat even when you are doing nothing.  I started my 30’s with a bang and have not looked back since.  Thank you, Rejuv Protocol.

To be honest, I have always struggled to really lose a substantial amount of weight.  I am not what you would consider to be overweight in the slightest, but I certainly was not at my best.  A head start on losing the muffin top and stomach is what I really wanted to achieve.  Everyone responds differently to Rejuv Protocol and I was under no illusion that it would solve all of my weight loss problems.  However, it was very evident to my friends that I definitely had lost weight as they could see the convincing results after only three weeks on Rejuv Protocol.

It is said that nothing comes without discipline and Rejuv Protocol is no exception.  In fact it helps to focus and super charge your discipline levels.  This is achieved by doing a couple of specific things consistently:  eating a specific, calorie-controlled diet at determined intervals and taking a small amount of Rejuv Protocol each morning and night.  The combination of this diet and Rejuv Protocol in effect resets your metabolism.  How great is that!!!  Rejuv Protocol also specifically targets the places where your body tends to store non-essential fat which may differ depending on your body type.  The great thing about Rejuv Protocol is that it is effective in burning fat in every body type.  Personally, my stomach and muffin top was what I wanted to reduce.  For others, it may be your buttocks and legs which are nearly always the hardest parts to lose weight.  It did wonders for me and I’m sure you will find it to be successful in losing weight by kick starting your metabolism in a controlled and healthy way.

Many of you may have heard of Stella McCartney, the famous fashion designer and   daughter to Sir Paul McCartney of The Beatles.  She is definitely one of my favourite designers for women today.  When one of my closest friends, Zoë Boomer, was labelled as the next Stella McCartney of Ireland, I was more than excited to be one of the first to receive some of her designs to sample for myself.

The style of Zoë Boomer is best described as distinct and unique with a strong sense of femininity that is subtlety proclaimed throughout every seasonal collection.  If you are looking for unique pieces to add to your Spring/Summer wardrobe, then this is definitely the year to start.   Search for new and up and coming designers like Zoë Boomer to add to your wardrobe collection.  This will lessen the risk of seeing a friend who has bought the same top you purchased just days ago but have not had a chance to wear yet.

With her designs and presentations, Zoë Boomer does not stick to the norm of today’s fashion designers.  For example, last year during one of her shows, instead of having the conventional drinks and runway presentation, Zoë Boomer ‘took it to the streets”.  Unannounced and impromptu catwalks took place at the Turbine Hall of the Tate Modern as well at the London premiere of Sex And The City 2.  This caused a general buzz and awareness of Zoë Boomer, the up and coming designer.  Two definite head turning events.  Her latest stunt was during London Fashion Week 2011 at the Rooftop Gardens in Kensington.  Instead of the typical straight catwalk, the presentation revolved around a hidden section within the room revealed by sliding doors.  The anticipation I have for her next collection is beyond description.  I can’t wait to see how and where she will be presenting her latest designs next.  Zoë Boomer’s unique style continues as she personalises her garments by most commonly naming them after friends and family.  I have personally had the honour of having one of her dresses named after me.  It’s not everyday you can say that.

One of the things I have learned from Zoë is that designers who are trying to make it in to the industry usually price their garments reasonably.  Often they will hold sample sales on a regular basis and at deep discounts.  What this means for you is fantastic savings and the ability to shop well within your budget.  Everyone wins…. you get a new Zoë Boomer designer outfit without breaking the bank.

As a girl who loves to shop, I never pass up the opportunity to pop over to her studio in Putney when she is having a sale.  Happy shopping girls!!
