Now that the cold weather and snow has hit most of the USA, how wonderful is it to curl up on the sofa with your large comfortable robe. Spavelous features my favorite uni-sex doe skinned robe. I have had my seafoam colored large robe for over seven years and it still looks brand new despite me wearing it every cold night and chili morning. I chose the seafoam green because the color green balances the heart. If you balance the heart you balance the whole body. My robe is my color therapy for the day. This robe is worn in many of the five star resorts.
They are so soft and yet they can stand up to the many times they have been washed and dried in industrial washers and dryers. You may find a robe that looks like this, but the quality is not the same. Have you ever seem a robe where the thread looks bunchy? Well, this is caused by them using a cotton thread. When the robe is washed, the thread shrinks and causes a bunching in all the seams and decorative stitching. This will not happen with these robes. They are sewn together with preshrunk thread.
The Clarisonic Skin Care Brush was chosen as one of "Oprah’s Favorite Things for 2007"!
The Clarisonic Skin Care Brush sonic technology works with the natural elasticity of the skin to provide deep, through, gentle daily cleansing of the skin. Cleansing is the foundation of a complete skin care routine. Oscillating back & forth at a sonic frequency that produces about 300 movements per second, a flexing action is created between the outer & inner brushes that work deep within the pores to loosen dirt & oil. The brush motion effectively cleans, clarifies & stimulates, resulting in smoother feeling & looking skin.
Experience the benefits of CLARISONIC's sonic cleansing:
* 6X more makeup removal
* Leaves skin feeling and looking younger and smoother
* Increases product absorption
* Gentle enough for use twice daily
* Helps reduce oily areas, dry skin patches and blemishes
* Helps reduce the appearance of visible pores
* Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
* Gentle enough for different skin conditions
I use mine every day the first time to cleanse my skin and the second time to help my skin creams better penetrate. I have really noticed a difference in my skin tone and my pore size has diminished.
Sometimes the easiest way to walk is to not walk at all. Over ten years ago I purchased my chi machine. Actually, I discovered the chi machine closer to 15 years ago, but it took me a while to believe the concept. Now I am a transformed believer. At fifty, many people ask me how I stay in shape. I like to credit my easy care fitness equipment.
The idea behind this unusual aerobic exercise machine was suggested by Dr. Shizuo Inoue, Chairman of Japan's Oxygen Health Association. Dr. Inoue, who has spent decades, researching the relationship between oxygen levels in the body and the quality of human health, got his idea by watching goldfish swimming.
Noting how remarkably healthy and well-toned fish are, Dr. Inoue thought that perhaps the steady undulation of the spine causes the fish's whole body to be exercised and oxygenated.
What would be the effect on people, he wondered, if we could move like fish?
Engineers took his basic concept and designed the Chi Machine. The pattern of motion the machine generates in the human body uses minimum effort and achieves maximum results. It improves the basic metabolism of the body, increases our energy, adds flexibility to our lives and improves our attitude. It can also increase our sense of awareness, balancing the mind and body connection.
Just 15 minutes on the chi machine, is comparable to walking 1 ½ hours. In addition, to the exercise benefits, I use mine as my morning meditation time as well. I must caution you though, do not use it too close to bedtime or you might find yourself reenergized and not able to get to sleep.
If you want to get an even better boost out of this, you may detoxify while you chi by using the Aesta Dome Far Infrared Sauna at the same time.
Imagine taking a rubber ball, cutting it in half and affixing it, curved side down, to the bottom of a pair of running shoes. Then imagine taking a walk in them.
The rolling sensation from midfoot to toe would be similar to the effect of Masai Barefoot Technology, a line of chunky and somewhat unattractive footwear that's has been flying off store shelves across North America for years. I have worn mine for five years, yes the same pair for five years. These sneakers really hold up and they still look brand new despite me wearing them every day for up to ten hours a day.
It's not just a shoe, it's a piece of exercise equipment. When you stand up in them, your pelvis straightens out and you'll be standing much straighter. So often it is hard to find time in your busy day to work out. What I really like about MBT’s is that you are working out with each step you take. After wearing my MBT’s for a month, I lost one inch from my waist. MBT’s really work your core muscles. They may seem a little pricey, but after five years the soles show no sign of ware and the uppers still look new.
Designed a decade ago by Swiss engineer Karl Muller to help ease back pain and foot problems, the Masai is considered a medical aid in Switzerland and Germany.
So if you want to get back in shape, park the car further away and walk. The MBT’s will do the rest.
The Power Plate Exercise Machine from ActiveForever is the premium vibration-exercise machine produced for home use. It utilizes vibration and the principles of Acceleration Training to help consumers achieve higher success in their workouts in shorter amounts of time. The vibrations that are produced using the Power Plate Exercise Machine - my3 transmit waves of energy throughout the body, activating muscle contractions between 25 and 50 times per second. By doing this the Power Plate enhances overall performance in sessions as short as 15 minutes a day, 3 times a week. Acceleration Training on Power Plate equipment offers a host of benefits, ranging from an immediate improvement in blood circulation, to a variety of other outcomes: such as increased muscle strength and flexibility, improved range of motion, decreased cellulite, increased bone mineral density, reduced pain and soreness and faster recovery times.
This piece of equipment is used by many celebrities in the Scottsdale, AZ area. It really helps to tighten and tone the muscles.
If this model is out of your budget, consider the Fitstar whole body vibration machine. Many professional basketball, football and baseball teams are using the WBV as an additional strength training method. While standing on the vibrating platform, your whole body vibrates, causing your muscle fibers to contract like they do when lifting weights, but at a much higher frequency.
The straighter you stand the higher and stronger you feel the vibrations, but it is better to bend your knees slightly to keep the vibrations in your lower half, where they are more beneficial.
This is another great way to tighten and tone in just 15 minutes.
