Things to do:

Meet all my deadlines at work, check.
Call everyone back from last week, check.
Do laundry, check.
Write next week’s list of things to do, check
Buy groceries, check.
Pay the bills, check.
Cook dinner, check.
Work out, ____. Right, like I will ever get to that!

There are some things we just cannot forget on our check-list, especially getting some exercise. Why should we exercise? Exercise can relieve stress and improve your overall appearance. Also, working out boosts our endorphins, endorphins make you happy, happiness causes smiles, and smiles, well, who doesn’t like smiles? A smile can make a person appear even more beautiful then they already are!

I have been active in sports my entire life, so when I heard about MISSION Product ™, I was excited to try out their skincare products. Just released in May of this year, the line boasts a lineup of hard-hitting athletes involved with the innovation and development.

With supporters such as Steve Nash (two-time NBA MVP), Mia Hamm (Olympic gold medal soccer player), and Gretchen Bleiler (pro snowboarder, three-time X Games gold medalist), it’s hard to not to take notice.

According to Nash: “I’m really proud to be a founding athlete with MISSION Product. I use all of our first five products and they are outstanding.”

I work for a buzzing plastic surgery marketing company. I move non-stop, all day. I spend most of my day going through countless photos of breast augmentations, and tummy tucks. I also run the customer service department. I wish I could say I stayed firmly planted in my seat, but I don’t. I run from meeting to meeting, department to department. In doing this, I tend to lose lots of pens, my keys, and occasionally my glasses.

After sending many “Anyone find my glasses?” in mass e-mails to the entire office, I figured I had to do something, and fortunately I came across La Loop. What a great find this was! La Loop is a concept that came about from Debbie Zoullad and Elizabeth Faraut. They had envisioned “a high-end, piece of jewelry with a purpose.” Following this inspiration they came up with an idea, one which has patented hinges that use a 360-degree swivel technology. This patented technology ensures that your glasses stay in one place. More »

PlasticSurgery.com’s “Biggest Loser” challenge has come to an end. And today, I am disappointed to announce that I did not win! But I AM down 9.5 pounds (still not enough to take the lead and win the grand prize though). Congratulations to Beauty Chatter Denice with 17 pounds shed, and PS.com’s Creative Manager (Dan) losing 10.

Everyone told me getting the weight off was going to be more of a challenge this time around (my second pregnancy), but I did not expect it to be this hard. I am 3 pounds away from my pre-pregnancy weight, but my body shape is completely gone.

I have been using Weight Watchers instead of The Daily Plate to stick to my diet. It is a little easier because I don’t have to think about how much fat and protein I am getting – Weight Watchers does it for me. It seems to be working because 3 of the 9 pounds were lost this week.

That said, however, I have not incorporated exercise into my weight loss plan as I had hoped to do. But now, with the sun staying out a bit later, I intend to bring it on!

Just 22 more pounds to go… I am determined to stay focused! (This is me, feeling “pretty in pink!’)

Denice: Hey Elana, did you see Lipstick Jungle last week?

Elana: I sure did. Saw it last night too! I like Nico’s position at Bonfire, Wendy’s chutzpa(!), and Victoria’s style. I mean, I REALLY like Victoria’s style. This character has really transformed Lindsey Price since her days on 90210 as Steve Sanders’ girl. More »
