OTA Magazine Health and FitnessWhen thinking about how fitness plays a part in our lives, we all realize that when we attempt it, it’s not so easy. It IS however VERY worth the effort. I myself have been on quite the health kick lately (call it a resolution or a realization…lol... either way, I’m doing it!!).

We’d all love a six pack, but I’ll settle for losing inches right now as I work towards my ultimate goal. In my search for advice as to how I (and of course all of you) can attain what you’re after, I turned to Certified Personal Trainer Erin Iannacchino for some tips, tricks and sound advice on how to reach our fitness dreams.

“Six packs aren’t just for athletes you can do it but it takes time and patience. Most people believe doing tons of sit ups are going get great abs but the trick is to pay attention to the front and the back of the midsection. Most important is the balance and stability it creates by having a strong core. Nutrition and cardio are key factors when it comes to seeing your abs.

OTA Magazine Health  and FitnessAs you may well have noticed, Fitness is “in”. It’s not so much about how big a guy can get or how skinny a girl can get. The focus these days is how fit and healthy you can look and feel. Muscle tone and skin radiance show the world how we feel. It’s attainable at any age; it just takes discipline and dedication. And if we’re not going to foster these things for ourselves, who would we do them for?

One thing I’ve heard a LOT about is “Eating Clean”. What is that anyway?! Well it means you’re basically omitting different ingredients or foods from your diet. You want to eat whole foods, natural foods. Things that aren’t helping your body be the best it can be for one reason or another. Some examples of things that will hold you back are:

  1. Refined sugar
  2. Hydrogenated & Trans Fat
  3. Preservatives
  4. White Bread

These lip glosses are right up there on my “Absolute Favorites” list. Once you try them you’ll know why. These glosses are super glossy without being sticky or clumpy. They have SPF 15 (except for color “Angel”) in them to protect your lovely petals in all types of weather. They mix AMAZAZINGLY well with lipsticks to lighten or smooth the look you’re trying to create (a make-up artists dream).

I use these myself and lalalove them. Though you do have to remember, this is a lip gloss, not a lip stain so you WILL have to reapply after eating, drinking etc…

They also smell DELISH!! I knew I liked the candy like smell on these beauties but I love it when my clients tell me how good the gloss smells or how great it feels on their lips.

Lips, Lashes and Lids… All things we women can get OBSESSIVE over. From the girl who lines her lips to make sure they don’t feather when she applies her lipstick or lip gloss, to the girl who curls her lashes religiously because she knows that it opens up her eyes. Then there are those of us who remember to use primer on your eyelids to be sure that our eyeshadow stays put all day long.

Here are some additional tips for you lovely ladies who are trying to get the most out of your make-up worlds…

Let’s start with a Lash Trick: If you have eyelashes that are straight or face down? Ever tried a heated eyelash curler?? Well you SHOULD!!! Heated eyelash curlers make your lashes more accommodating. Here are some to choose from. They run anywhere from $5-$25 [depending on the brand] and are well worth the effort.
