Yoga is the new rave nowadays and women from all over the world have found their effects to be the most gratifying on their body and mind. Even I have jumped on this bandwagon and don’t miss my daily yoga class. One of the exercises we do in these classes is facial exercises which at first caused some of us to laugh but our teacher has assured us this is no laughing matter.

Even though these exercises seem funny to look at they help strengthen our facial muscles saving us wrinkles in the future. They help prevent flaccidness and they increase circulation giving us a much more relax and Juvenal look. Our facial structure is composed of 20 muscles, so there is a lot to work out. The combination of breathing and exercise helps tone your face and make you look much brighter and younger.

I wish someone would have told me this 20 years a go so that my face could have been a little more fit now, although it is never too late, so take a deep breath and stick your tongue out, see how good you fell and look.

In order to stay healthy it is very important to buy the right foods so we can make sure that what we eat will help keep us healthy. Even though all food now carries appropriate food labels, it is not enough.

The FDA is now thinking of developing a new type of food labels to be included on all food products. The new labels will be have a colour code system sort or like a traffic light that will indicate the amount of all ingredients with a green, yellow or red light so the consumer could easily see what he is buying.

I think this new initiative is something very interesting and necessary nowadays.  We are all running around like crazy and don’t have much time to spend on reading food labels, so having an easy system like this one will help us all reach our nutrition goals. But, we must still know when to STOP and not buy certain foods that are not good for us.

I was 20 years old when as a professional ballet dancer, doctors from our ballet company discovered that my terrible feet pain was something that was not the normal dancer pain. After many tests and theories an x-ray revealed the demon that was behind my suffering and which would condemn me to a life of pain, osteoporosis.

What? How? It couldn’t be, but yes my friends it was true and although it’s not very common at that age it could happen. All women out there should always be on the alert and not think that “old people” diseases are going to affect us later in life. A woman should start preventing these diseases sooner than later. Exercise has been by saving force and without it I’m not sure I would be walking today. Exercise strengthens your muscular system by protecting your skeleton from possible fractures.

Living a healthy lifestyle at a young age will prevent pains in the future. Maintaining a healthy diet is something that is never too early to start.

How many times have you asked yourself why some people are so skinny even thought they eat everything they see and don’t exercise while others starve themselves and workout all day long are obese. Well, one of the reasons for this might be something new scientists have discovered.

I’m talking about a gene called adipose, which is present in all of us but those who have this gene in perfect condition are skinny and those who don’t well, they’re fat. I don’t know if its as simple as that but it is true that genetics has a lot to do with our predisposition.

This doesn’t mean that if we find out that we have a bad gene we should give up and top taking care of ourselves, because although genetics has a lot to do with this skinny fat thing, we still need to maintain our healthy lifestyle…Sorry, the skinny pill is not here yet.

The other day I wrote about quinoa, the nutrient that many consider a magical drug and today reading one of my favourite blogs I found an article about Chia, which seems to have many of the same mystical properties.

Chia seeds contain vitamins, omega 3, fibre and of course loads of antioxidants and could help fight cholesterol, Alzheimer, complicated pregnancies, arthritis, asthma and many other illnesses. Including chia to your diet is very easy; all you need is 5 grams a day to prevent illnesses and about 25 grams a day when there is an illness present.

With so many of these natural and cheap products out there I have to ask, why do people insist in eating junk food which is much more expensive and could kill you?

For me, Chanel is the bomb, it is an inspiration of pure beauty. For any woman Chanel make-up is luxury and even though it might be pricey, it is well worth it to be able to hold something so precious from this awesome cosmetic firm.

Every year around this time I love to buy at least one make-up product from chanel to make me feel better, it lasts the entire year, a total enjoyment of perfect beauty for me.

If you have never tried these products there is no better time than the present. In stores such as Neiman Marcus until the 17^th of September with any cosmetic or fragrance purchase of $100 or more you get a great ultra chic bag with lots of deluxe samples. Don’t miss it!

I just love Besame cosmetics, specially the lipsticks which are ultra sexy. The design and colours are just awesome and they truly make you feel younger which is surprising because Gabriela the founder of these cosmetics uses an old feel design to her products. I feel very elegant and feminine when I hold these products in my hand and they remind me of a time passed by, yet they make me look so good I’m young again.

These products have only been on the market for about 3 years and if you haven’t tried them yet, please let me have the honour of inviting you to enjoy them for yourself by visiting their home page on the Web.
