There are several benefits of stretching and I strongly suggest making it apart of your fitness routine. It increases flexibility, improves circulation, balance and coordination. As well as alleviating lower back pain and helping your overall cardiovascular health. Try a Gentle Yoga class that focuses primarily on stretching like restorative and Viniyoga.

Make an impact this season with the cults classic Rouge Noir by CHANEL. This is my all-time favorite nail varnish. Nothing is as good for depth of color, texture, or durability. I wear this for days on end without touch-ups, it looks classy and it goes with absolutely everything. I also love wearing my Rouge Noir Lip color to match my nails for a demure evening look.

Most of you pre or post work out, go for the H20 which is fine….; however I have now swapped my big gulps of water for a bottle of ZICO Coconut Water. Here’s why: Coconut water is packed with a potassium (even more than 1 banana), it supports rapid hydration, and also full of electrolytes (sodium, magnesium, calcium, potassium, phosphorus)- these all contribute to optimal performance and replenish and rehydrate before or after your work out, this is also great if you have had the stomach flu and lost a lot of fluid or have had one too many cocktails the night before.

For those of you who enjoy green smoothies, I add 1-2 scoops of MEGA GREEN POWDER for an extra boost. Mega Greens contains alkaline forming ingredients to help balance the body’s pH & provides vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, amino acids, and plant proteins needed for cell support. After the first few days of using this my appetite was suppressed, my energy levels were high, my exercise recovery time was shortened, and my body felt clean from the inside out. I have been using this now since October and will continue too. As it is a powder form, your body absorbs instantly- giving you fast results.
