FOUR REASONS WHY YOU’RE NOT LOSING WEIGHT

I’ve heard it from friends and clients alike… “I work out all the

time and I’m not losing weight.” OK, I’m gonna get a LITTLE in your face here

and have you take a long hard look at yourself. Don’t be scared, I’ll go easy on

you … kinda!

#1. You’re not working out hard enough. Yup, it’s true. What happens with the

body is that a workout that killed you 2 months ago isn’t so hard anymore. It’s

called adaptation. You got stronger, faster and in better cardiovascular condi-

tion. So now you have to step it up and kick your own butt! If you’ve been doing

15 pushups for the last few weeks, try to squeeze out 1 or 2 more on every

set. If you’ve never done pushups on your toes, DO THEM! Even doing ONE

more rep will help you break a plateau.

#2. You’re doing ‘steady state’ exercise. For the LONGEST time, moderate ex-

ercise was touted as the best way to lose weight. Now, it’s been proven that do-

ing intervals is best for cardiovascular health as well as fat and calorie burning.

So, if you’re running, add in some intervals or sprint bursts at 75-80% of your

max for 30-45 seconds every few miles or minutes. If you’re hiking, run up that

hill for 30 second intervals every 2-3 minutes. Leave the moderate, steady state

exercise back in the 80’s!

#3. Your weights aren’t heavy enough. LADIES, I’m talkin’ to you! There are

VERY few women who will GET HUGE from lifting weights. If you’re afraid that a

12-lb or 15-lb weight will get you big, IT WON’T - up your weights! As a general

rule of thumb, if you can do an exercise past 20 reps and keep going without

muscle failure, you’re weights for that exercise are too light. Get heavier

weights!

#4. You don’t have accountability worked into your program. We’ve all been

there… it’s 5am and the alarm just went off. You’re supposed to get up and go

to the gym. But, you’re so tired and your bed is so comfy. Get a workout buddy,

hire a qualified personal trainer or enroll in a fun, women’s bootcamp program.

Our bootcamp program solves ALL of these issues. Mention this article when

Spring Skin Tips

1. Seek a Specialist

2. Moisturize

3. Use Sunscreen

4. Avoid wet hands and feet

5. Use a Humidifier

6. Hydrate for your health

7. Easy on the Peels

Healthy Eating is not hard..

It takes education and a change in lifestyle. The reason most peo-

ple have a hard time eating right is because, they don’t want to

take the time. Also , they feel that is can be costly .

Chemical peels are the ultimate teammate for your skin. Light, medium, and

deep peels remove layers of skin, along with acne scars, wrinkles, discolora-

tion, and sun damage.

Chemical peels can improve the skin's appearance. A chemical solution is

applied to the skin, which makes it "blister" and eventually peel off. The new

skin is usually smoother and less wrinkled than the old skin.

Chemical peels can be performed on the face, neck, or hands. They can,

reduce fine lines under the eyes and around the mouth, treat wrinkles

caused by sun damage and aging, Improve the appearance of mild scars,

treat certain types of acne, reduce age spots, freckles, and dark patches

(melasma) due to pregnancy or taking birth control pills, Improve the look

and feel of your skin.

Before getting a chemical peel consult a specialist.

Innovation with Style: The Phoenix Fashion 411

By Eva Louis, Film & Fashion Futures Writer

Phoenix Fashion Week is not resting for one second and is ready for many

new ventures in 2013. For Brian Hill, Executive Director of Phoenix Fashion

Week, fashion is not just about the fashion, it’s also about the business of

fashion and he works hard to make that evident with any new announce-

ments. In December 2012, the Fashion Meetup hosted at Majerle's Sports

Grill in Old Town Scottsdale was the last major 2012 event for this always in-

novating group. A major part of the event was the statement about the launch

of The Fashion Hub.

The Fashion Hub is being established and is estimated to be available and

functioning in February of 2013. The vision and soon to be reality is best de-

scribed in their own words “a Fashion Hub (shared) co-workspace focusing on

the Fashion Industry.” This is fulfilling “the necessity to foster growth and col-

laboration” for those in the fashion industry from many perspectives but espe-

cially the proactive fashion entrepreneur. The idea here with a hub is to pro-

vide a space that enables sharing of resources, ideas, risks and successes.

Think of it like the new “Fashion Think Tank,” only good things can come from

this. The shared space will offer to tenants the following:

- Wi-Fi Access

- Cubicles (for the brands)

- Plug-in & work stations (for the brands)

- Conference Room (shared for meetings & workshops)

- Office Space (for the brands)

- Showroom (to display & present the brands to buyers)

- Photography studio (10x10 room) - (for shared use, head shots, brand look

books, etc.)

The following types of individuals should definitely consider checking into this

forum and first of a kind Fashion Hub (coining the phrase now “Fashion Think

Tank”): Apparel brands, Accessory brands, Stylists, PR firms, Marketing

firms, Graphic Designers, Web Designers, Photographers, Models, Fashion

Technology companies, and any other fashion related business.

If you thought that was all the announcements there were, then think again.

On the second day of the New Year 2013, another notification came out today

about the SHOP GARMENT DISTRICT. What is a GARMENT DISTRICT?

The typical definition revolves around one of the most famous based in NY;

def.: an area in the borough of Manhattan, in New York City, including por-

tions of Seventh Avenue and Broadway between 34th and 40th Streets and

the streets intersecting them, that contains many factories, showrooms, etc.,

related to the design, manufacture, and wholesale distribution of clothing.

This SHOP GARMENT DISTRICT is officially launched by Phoenix Fashion

Week utilizing the power of the internet and Facebook. They are locating it on

https://www.facebook.com/phxfashionweek - which offers the fans the oppor-

tunity to shop their official PHXFW LIMITED EDITION apparel and accesso-

ries. The designs will be inspired PHXFW themes and will include collabora-

tions from their long list of designers. Since they will be LIMITED EDITIONS,

fans have to be among the first to 'LIKE' the item to assure they 'win' the op-

portunity to purchase the PHXFW LIMITED EDITION items.

The process - HOW WILL IT

WORK – is as follows: they will

list the item description, along

with a picture, sizes, color, quan-

tity available, list the model, pho-

tographer, and stylist. The inter-

ested FAN must 'Like' the post

and add a comment with their e-

mail address, specifying the

quantity they desire, size, and

color. If they 'win' the opportunity

to purchase the item, one of

PHXFW teammates contacts the

FAN for payment details. They

are promising fun and exciting

offerings. With the New Year

already beginning in full swing,

keep a look out to find out what

else is in store from Phoenix

Fashion Week and Brian Hill and

team!! Happy New Year!!!

Mobile Marketing

Why is mobile marketing so important? Just look around! Every-

body, everywhere is looking at their smartphones. Walking, shopping,

dining – it seems like everyone has their smart phone in hand and at the

ready.

So, what does mobile marketing involve? Depending on your

type of business it’s usually a 4-step process. The first step is to create

some type of mobile optimized webpage. This can be a full mobile web-

site or you can set up different promotional mobile pages. This allows

your users to be able to read your content, specials, videos, slideshows,

etc. very easily without having to “pinch and twist” the screen on their

smartphone. The mobile page is also a great way to let your users call

you, email you, or even start a chat with one touch from their

smartphone.

The second step is to get new customers to visit your mobile site.

Just like a desktop website, there are many ways to get mobile users to

your site. One way is by using the traditional method of paid advertising

to get new clients You would determine your most important service or

product and then advertise that along with your location.

There are also some really fun ways that can get new clients to

your mobile site. They can also help you build up a mobile list. One of

these methods is to use a “mobile keyword”. Let’s say you’re a restau-

rant, and your mobile keyword is “eat”. Basically, you have your mobile

users text “eat” to a mobile number. You can then offer them discounts

or promotions if they join your list.

Another alternative is to use a Quick Response (QR) code. It’s basically

the same principle as using the keyword, but it’s more visually engaging.

You can also customize these QR codes with your branding to get the

attention of your mobile users.

Once you start building your list, then you begin the third step of

keeping your customers engaged in your business. For instance, let’s

take the same example of the restaurant as above. Let’s say, you are

having a really slow day, you can send a text to your list and tell them

you are going to have a 25% off coupon on any entrée for the next 2

hours. This can be a great way to get customers in to your restaurant,

so you have a booming day rather than a slow day.

a 25% off coupon on any entrée for the next 2 hours. This can be a great

way to get customers in to your restaurant, so you have a booming day ra-

ther than a slow day.

Another great way to keep your clients engaged is to have contests.

You can have your users visit a mobile page that lets them enter your con-

test for a free or highly-discounted product or service. In the same way as

coupons, voting has proven to be a very effective way to keep your clients

engaged in your business.

The fourth and all-important step of analytics. Be sure that you are

getting the most of your marketing dollars in order to get the highest return

on investment. Track everyone single campaign to see how many people

are taking advantage of your coupons and specials. You don't want to spend

your valuable marketing dollars on promotions that aren't working for you. The mobile market is exploding. It is a very lucrative and fun way to start

getting more customers for your business.

DO INSECTS LIVE THROUGH THE WINTER?

The answer to this question for many insects is YES. Though life is sustained by different means,

many insects do survive through the winter. This is true for all phases of growth including the adult,

nymph, larva, pupa and egg forms of the insects. Insects may use one or more of the following to

survive the winter:

While many vertebrate animals go through a phase of hibernation, the similar phase for insects is

termed DIAPAUSE. During this phase an insect’s body will slow down enough to simply maintain

life. Some that use this method include lady bird beetles, monarch butterflies. Some insects re-

place the water in their bodies with glycerol, which is a form of antifreeze, thus allowing their bodies

to withstand the lower temperatures.

Many insects will attach their pupa to leaves and emerge as adults in the spring. Dragonflies in

nymph form may live below ice in ponds and streams awaiting the warmth of spring to emerge.

Eggs from insects may also lay dormant through the winter until the temperatures allow for full de-

velopment.

So, simply put, insects survive by manipulating their internal systems physically and chemically.

They may also simply survive by finding a warmer place to stay by burrowing deep in the soil, under

rocks, in trees and brush, and unfortunately, in the walls of many buildings.

HOW DO YOU WINTERIZE YOUR HOME?

Your first line of protection from insect seeking protection from the winter is to take a closer look at

how they might physically enter your home. This includes checking your door sweeps and weather

stripping and ensuring all openings are appropriately sealed (including pipes and wires). If you

have a screen door, make sure any gaps or tears are repaired. Make sure all windows fit tightly in

their frames. Your local hardware store can help you with the supplies needed to address these is-

Another line of defense is to get

winter service from your local

pest control company. Winter

service includes your basic ser-

vice, plus additional methods of

control. The company should be

spraying the interior and exterior

of your home. This includes

around the base board areas of

your house, under the voids of

your sinks in the kitchen and

bathrooms, in your garage, and

the exterior perimeter of the

home. This will provide a longer

lasting treatment.

Why don't people make more time

for family time? Perhaps it is be-

cause of our busy schedules. Four

of seven families do not set aside

one night for the family. Six out of

ten families do not eat at the table

every night. This is a perfect op-

portunity for families to bond. Also,

it is a good time for parents to stay

abreast of what is going on in their

children's lives. Why is this im-

portant? A lot of families have be-

come more broken due to lack of

family time. A good suggestion

would be pick a night that the

whole family can spend together. It

does not have to be expensive.

Have a movie night at home,

Game night, or even go out.

Parents have a duty to love, educate,

and protect their children. Many parents

do not instill family night as part of a tra-

dition. If they do a child will grow up

with this value and hopefully keep it as

a family tradition.

uation from Business College, she realized

that she wanted to be an entrepreneur.

nesses. Her true passion has been to own a

Page 15: February/ March 2013

While Interviewing with Brittany

we asked these key questions?

Q. What do you want to convey to

other women?

A. I would like women to have the

resources that allow them to be able

to self-improve through abundance,

innovation, inspiration, and empower-

ment from other women. I want wom-

en to know that there are many op-

portunities for personal growth. Think

about what makes you happy. Your

life needs positive energy, in order to

achieve that there are two important

key elements, goal setting and moti-

vation techniques. At the end of the

day, ask yourself are you happy

about your accomplishments?

Q. What is your distribution and

how do you engage your readers?

A. Our distribution is Internet mar-

keting. We have a website, mobile

website for smartphone users, Face-

book, Twitter, Pinterest, and a

youtube channel, Issuu and online

and in person networking forums.

This allows us to maximize exposure

and readership. Our youtube channel

allows us to have direct interviews

with our clients, this enables our

readership to feel a better connection

with us and our clients.

Q. Why are you so passionate

about what you do?

A.I feel that it is important to in-

form women of options that they

have in their many facets of life. I

take the time to find these re-

sources and bring them women. I

am a firm believer of education

and collaboration.

Ladies, if you've never had the wonderful experience of browsing a consign-

ment boutique, be prepared for a brand new adventure in shopping! And if

you have some beautiful items that you no longer fit, a consignment bou-

tique is the answer for you.

Consignment owners have the same philosophy- "We will continue to con-

vince the world to be come resale shoppers-those who "get it" will have a

marvelous time, those who don't will just have to pay retail.

Here's a list of what you need to know before choosing a consignment shop

to sell your items:

Choose a consignment shop with a great traffic flow, one that in not over-

crowded with items. The shop should smell fresh and all the items should be

beautifully displayed.

The better, high-end consignment shops will require you to have an ap-

pointment and will give you a set of guidelines for bringing you items in. The

guidelines detail a number of items you can bring in, the name brands that

are accepted and your responsibility for keeping in touch with the shop.

Keep in mind, too, that the better consignment shops are booked with ap-

pointments sometimes six months in advance. You may have to wait a bit

for an appointment, but it will be worth it. Their sales records and inventory

turns are fabulous! In addition, unlike the "drop and run" shops, your items

will be on the sales floor that same day!

When you arrive on time for your appointment, the shop owner devotes

that time to inspect your items. She only chooses the ones that she can sell.

Rest assured that the shop owner is experienced and knowledgeable of her

market area and will demand the best price for your items.

a Little Bit of Cowgirl In Between"

How to gently consign your gently used clothing

and accessories.

Page 17: February/ March 2013

There are several factors you

must keep in mind when

choosing your items to con-

sign:

1. Most Important! In current

style (no more than 2 years

old). What you see in the retail

stores, you will also see in bet-

ter consignment shops.

2. All clothing MUST be in pris-

tine condition or they will not

be accepted. The shop owner

WILL NOT accept items that

she has to clean, steam, press.

She doesn't have time! Take

pride in your items- it will pay

in the long run!

3. Jewelry need to be pol-

ished, watches need to be

running.

4. Shoes should be in new

condition- no scuffs and no

sign of wear.

5. Do not be offended if the

shop owner does not accept

all your items. Selections are

based on market demand

and space availability as well.

She can't afford to take in

items that are in question of

selling and must only accept

items that she knows will sell

quickly. New inventory is so

important to smaller consign-

ment shops-customers like to

see new things every time

they visit!

So consign your items, put cash in your pocket, or

have fun with it and use it as an in-store credit at

your consignment boutique!

SHOP LOCAL, SHOP OFTEN AND REMEMBER-

"FRIENDS DON'T LET FRIENDS BUY RETAIL!"

Heather Godina: From “Bald and Boobless” to Triathlete

In mid-July of 2010, 29-year-old Heather Godina was performing a self-exam and found a lump in her armpit. By mid-August she was having a mammogram and biopsy and ten days later was at her doctor’s office to decide whether to undergo a lumpectomy, a single or a double mastectomy. It all happened in the blink of an eye. Knowing that her particular type of cancer was hormone-based and wanting children in her future - which meant a pregnancy could trigger her illness again - Heather decided to undergo a double mastectomy. A series of tests including a PET scan and an MRI determined where the cancer had spread: they revealed she was in Stage 3 and the disease had spread to 21 out of 26 lymph nodes. They also performed a bracket test to determine if Heather was a carrier, which she wasn’t. After the surgery, Heather underwent two rounds of chemotherapy and seven-and-a-half weeks of radiation. In January of 2011 Heather had completed the first round of chemo, which left her feeling devastated and, in her words, “bald, fat and boobless.” It was then that a friend told her about Tri for the Cure Arizona. “I had to make a decision: I was going through the same thing whether I was in a good mood or a bad mood, so it’s all about choice,” she says. Those who know her say she’s always positive, smiling and very encouraging of others. “I worked the whole time I trained and did chemo,” she says. “It just felt good to get back into something normal.” Heather’s last chemo treatment took place on the Friday after the Tri for the Cure. Tri for the Cure is open to all women who are looking to have a good experience. As an event, it’s big enough to be challenging but not intimidating. There’s great support for first-time triathletes, and Heather is now a part of the event committee, helping to make sure there’s special acknowledgement of survivors. “Don’t let fear of being a triathlete stop you,” she enthuses. “There is so much support. And there are so many women in your own neighborhood going through the same challenges you are. Just do it!” Today at 31, Heather has had full reconstructive surgery and has two Tri for the Cure under her belt plus a very recent Half Iron Man (which she rocked). She’s planning to do a full Iron Man next year, in addition to her work with Tri for the Cure. “Why do I Tri? Because it is both a physical activity and a mental challenge,” says Heather. “You have to be physically ready for the challenge of doing three events in one day, but it’s also mentally challenging. It is a personal sport, but you have to rely on support, encouragement, and love of family and friends to get through. It is both challenging and very rewarding.”
