Stylish Sisters
Ashley Olsen (left) and Mary-Kate Olsen (right) attend the Metropolitan Opera’s gala premiere of Rossini’s Le Comte on Thursday (March 24) in New York City. I love on how the Olsen sister's are never afraid, to wear anything.

Ten Exercise Tips
I have been working out consistently for the past month and half, although I am no expert no am I in shape I wanted to share the 10 tips in exercising... I recently started working out with a trainer and here are some tips I put together.
8. Set daily or weekly goals. Long term goals are great, but are so far away we often forget why we're working so hard. To stay motivated, write down a daily or weekly goal and then follow number 7 (rewarding yourself) if you reach it.
9. Prepare for your workout the night before by packing your gym bag or, if you work out at home, laying out your workout clothes so when you get home, you're ready to go, I keep my gym bag in my car, just in case I decide to go straight from work.
10. Eat regularly throughout the day so you don't bonk during your workout.

- See your doctor before you start any exercise program. Get a full physical to make sure everything's in working order, then find a personal trainer in your neighborhood and make an appointment with him or her for a consultation. Most trainers will give you a free consultation and help you figure out what your fitness level is, your body fat and circumference measurements, and the right way to start a program.
- Start Slow! Many beginners make the mistake of doing too much when they first start out. If you haven't worked out in a while (or ever) start with a walking program of about 20 to 30 minutes, 3 days a week. Each session, add a few minutes to your workout to progress each week.
- Write down your workouts every day, making notes about what you did, how you felt and how you improved since your last workout, you may find a book that is the workout journal at you gym. I keep a journal with this book its a 12 week accomplishment.
- Schedule your workouts each week, just like you would a doctor's appointment.
- Harass your best friend, spouse or significant other into working out with you, I personally do not have a problem working out on my own, but I am lucky enough to also have tons of friends and my husband who also attends to the same health club I do, which means I am always working out with someone.
- Every day, ask yourself how you will make your life healthier. It can be as simple as drinking more water or parking farther away from the front door, trust me some little scarfacies every day comes in handy.
8. Set daily or weekly goals. Long term goals are great, but are so far away we often forget why we're working so hard. To stay motivated, write down a daily or weekly goal and then follow number 7 (rewarding yourself) if you reach it.
9. Prepare for your workout the night before by packing your gym bag or, if you work out at home, laying out your workout clothes so when you get home, you're ready to go, I keep my gym bag in my car, just in case I decide to go straight from work.
10. Eat regularly throughout the day so you don't bonk during your workout.

Simple Mommy Note
Mom Note From Me To You!
As a mom of of two, I understand how difficult it is to balance a career and family obligations. As moms we understand the word sacrifice and at times have given it new meaning. As I meander through my day and fall into bed at night exhausted, I often wonder how women like myself do it. How do busy moms and wives hold it all it together while staying utterly fashionable? I ponder this question quite often because it is so easy to get overwhelmed by life an motherhood. More often than not, I see moms shelping about in "mom" jeans and wearing their workout gear from the early am late into the afternoon. But then every so often I spot that mom that has red hot style. Moms, it is okay at times to dress down, but we must try to always look good even if we are not walking in heels all day, this helps your self esteem, also let us not forget we must look good for our husbands. I find myself, on days that all I want to do is walk around in sweats and when I feel this is way... then I do just that, without allowing this to turn into a habit. I need to dress up, I need my heels in my life and the makeup, this makes me feel me and pretty and it even helps the mood change from sloppy and tired to pretty and sexy!!! Now vamp up my mommy friends Lets get PRETTY!
there is nothing sexier and prettier than a good looking hot mommy :)
