Waste Matters
By: Jamie A. Murphy
I've never felt it necessary to discuss this topic. Until now. This biological waste production is physical evidence of what in our diet's need to be changed! I found that this matter would serve as a vital entity to my nutrition plan and even save the world! (see part II). So grin and bear with me, I'll try to be as conventional as possible. I feel that it's my duty to share this with you! I believe you too have something to gain from those ‘something's' we lose.
While freshening up in my girlfriends restroom, a little brown book by Josh Richman and Anish Sheth, M.D., titled ‘What's Your Poo Telling You?' sparked question that I could be overlooking a very purposeful bodily function! The Author's run down was shrewd, yet it's ‘humorous' interpretation wasn't my cup of tea. Soon flipping through You Are What You Eat, I was confident that (author) Dr. Gillian

Did you know that our skin has approximately 650 sweat glands per square inch (and 100 oil glands)?! When you exercise, you sweat. (if you're working hard enough) When you sweat, you excrete toxins from the body. And when your pores are open, they're more apt to absorb the suns harmful rays. I sat with Bliss Spa Skin Care therapist Holly Waite to uncover the skin care commandments for outdoor exercise.

Everyone has a favorite tee. I am talking about that buttonless - collarless - pocketless tee, that you cannot live without and wouldn’t even give to your boyfriend if he were breaking up with you and all he wanted, the only thing he wanted, from you at all, was that t-shirt. It’s either all of your dreams of baby carriages and that mansion on a hill, – or THE tee. You might want to give it up, but you wouldn’t. I wouldn’t.
Mine, is the plain white tee. It’s like a blank canvas that you have to try super hard to mess up. We’ll play around with the tee in this section, but first let us start with the shirt itself.
I have an entire dresser drawer devoted to the white tee. Target has a Mossimo v-neck (8.99) that is snug, and soft, and CHEAP. If you want the softest tee you can find check out the Urban Outfitters Transparency Tee (16.00). If you’re feeling especially foolish there are countless designers who will sell you a t-shirt for upwards of 75.00. I suggest you donate that money

The Secret to Breaking Your Plateau…
Written By: Jamie Alexandra Murphy
Through my studies as a fitness professional I have learned that a single universally practiced exercise is the elusive missing link to achieving your fitness goals.
It was *Joyce that introduced me to the missing link I’d been searching for to break her ’hate cardio’ mind set and last 7 lbs. I had her on a strict strength training regimen boot camp style thrice weekly, and imposed small changes to her diet. Light walking was the extent of her cardio homework as former injuries and a hate for machines prevented effective and safe options. We went from a size 16 to a 10 in 27 days. After that no changes were seen for almost two weeks. We were both perplexed by the cause of this plateau. I then suggested we start her on a body bugg program. (www.bodybogg.com) A body bugg is a high tech device that straps to your arm and accurately records your bodies caloric burn minute by minute. A USB port sends info to easy to
I found this store in 2005 while I was waiting around the corner for a pedi. I usually stop in to this boutique in frenzy mode - hating my outfit, late for a dinner date in sweats, or in need of a whole wardrobe for a weekend at the beach. As irresponsible as such needless impulse buying may be, the girls at Dame have never let me down. They keep up, they're relatively inexpensive, and their stock is incredible diversified.
Whether you are in need of a dress for an important event, or a bathing suit for the weekend, they've got it. And it's all good.
Stop in and see Dana. She's possibly the cutest saleswomen I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with. She continues to dress me from head to toe at a moments notice. Your turn!

Welcome to my little column. I am excited about the opportunity to have a forum to share, vent, and explore what we have worn, are wearing, and what we will possibly be purchasing in the future. Please feel free to accept my judgments and type-lashings with my sincere apologies if I offend.
Most of the time I will choose a topic that is pertinent to time, place, and which of Angelina's babies was just born. For now I would like to take the opportunity to introduce myself.
