I met so many people that tell me they don’t feel like working out because they are sad or depressed. I tell them that when we exercise and move our bodies there is an endorphin releasse in flow state that enhances a person’s sense of well being. I know for some people its really hard to get motivated because you might have a 9 to 5 job or have no time at all in your schedule.

Motivation to exercise is easy when you like to exercise and or like its benefits. Yet, a lot of people do not like to exercise and numbers say so..u can start with 5 minutes a day, but start with something. Build your foundation and go from there, you will be amazed after a little while how much you enjoy not only exercising but the benefits you get from it as well.

We must make time for ourselves first. We heard the term “you have to love yourself first before you can love anyone else”. Some people tend to get lost in that path of self-love.

So how can you stay focused on yourself so you can focus on everything else. Its simple. These are some of the things i do.

– I wake up in the morning and the very first thing I do is think about 3 things that i am thankful for and say them out loud.

– I drink 2 big glasses of water. Staying hydrated will allow your cells to keep that nice flow that your body have and keeps the elasticity on our skin.

– I set a fitness goal for the day and stick to it. Make yourself accountable for the answer or have someone like myself or any one else that can help you with that.

Once you get the hang of it and you feel the benefits of exercising and eating a well balanced diet you will not want to stop! and remember that YOU are amazing and unique. Never give up on yourself and remember that faith rewards initiative.

Get up! Go out there! and Conquer the world!

Cheers xx

Five Foods of Love

By

Runway Magazine Editorial Team

-

Jul 16, 2011

Honey: Honey may be sweet but not necessarily so innocent; it’s been said to assist both men and women in increasing sexual desire. Men metabolize the vitamins E and B that are found in honey to produce and maintain testosterone, an essential component of male sex drive, while women use a nutrient known as boron to assist the body in using and metabolizing the sexual hormone estrogen. Plus, honey appeals to the senses with its sweet scent and thick, silky texture.

Served Best: Create your own homemade honey butter that may be perfectly paired with biscuits. In a small bowl, cream ¼ of a cup of butter. Once completed, mix in ½ teaspoon of orange zest, and ½ teaspoon of honey, until light and fluffy.

Chocolate: Turns out there’s a reason chocolate is always found in abundance on Valentine’s Day – chocolate is known as one of the most natural aphrodisiacs around. The sexy secret ingredients found in this delicious food are phenylethylamine and serotonin, both of which are natural stimulants that can mimic the euphoric feeling of being in love.

Served Best: Melt chocolate and serve with fresh fruit as the perfect end to a romantic meal. Fine chocolates can be found at better stores and from specialty chocolatiers like Bernard Callebaut and Valrhona.

Figs: People have long believed that an open fig resembles the female sex organ, and many cultures have associated figs with fertility. Figs are an incredibly healthy fruit as well, packed with nutrients such as iron and potassium.

Served Best: Slice figs in half and drizzle with an equal amount of honey and scotch. Bake in oven set at 400 degrees for around 7-10 minutes. The end result is a satisfying and healthy dessert that will have you fall in love with this fascinating fruit.

Oysters: Oysters are one of the most well known aphrodisiacs. Oysters have a high concentration of zinc, which is thought to increase sexual potency in men. And while the hard evidence hasn’t been found yet, some shellfish, including oysters, have been found to contain certain properties that may be effective in producing sex hormones in both men and women.

Served Best: Simply raw, on the half shell, alongside your favorite sauce.

Hot Chilis: These steamy vegetables will do more then just kick up the heat in the kitchen, they’ll also kick up the heat in the bedroom. Hot chilis are known to increase circulation and pump up our blood pressure. They are also capable of releasing natural endorphins, which help increase energy and gives the body an overall positive feeling.

Served Best: Combined with another aphrodisiac – chocolate – chili powder has never tasted sweeter. Simply add a pinch of powder to hot chocolate and enjoy a famous Mexican-inspired drink.

Introducing Action Item

Jul 5, 2011

Straight from the Jersey Shore to the Hollywood Hills, the boys of Action Item are making waves all over the country! With their refreshing new music including their recent single “When Everything Falls Back Down” featuring Chelsea Kane, these fab five are moving on up to the top. Whether they’re performing on stage alongside Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez, making noise on Radio Disney, or touring throughout the US and Canada, “The Stronger the Love” singers are giving us all something to love!

We sat down with this rising young band to talk about upcoming projects, evolving fashion and their fall favorites.

Tell us how you got the name “ACTION ITEM”?

We were watching a movie together and the term “Action Item” came up. We loved it as a name and found out that it meant “a goal to achieve/something to accomplish.” It felt very right for us to have a band name with an uplifting and positive message like that.

You are currently on tour with Honor Society. What else do you have in the works?

We are heading out on another tour right after this. It’s the “Friday is Forever Tour” with We The Kings, The Summer Set, Hot Chelle Rae, and The Downtown Fiction. It’s going to be a great show for everyone! Also we have a new single (with our first music video) coming out in mid-July. The song is called “Learn To Fly” and it was produced by Nick Jonas.

What would you say is the overall style of the band? Are there go-to brands that you all enjoy?

We love shopping at little boutiques on Melrose whenever we have time in LA. There are so many great and unique shops to really craft your style there. London fashion is great too, so occasionally we head over to TopMan in NYC to pick up some new clothes.

How has your style evolved over time?

We’ve learned that simplicity can be wonderful. You don’t need to have layers upon layers to have a great style. We’ve been keeping it simple with different cut t-shirts and just accessorizing, whether it be some necklaces and/or bracelets. Accessories really do make more of a statement than you think. Above all, being confident is really important. As long as you’re confident and adventurous in your own clothes, other people will see that.

What trends do you think will be popular this fall?

In our opinion, people always overlook gloves and mittens. We’re from the NYC area, and even with all the people constantly roaming, it’s rare to see someone with stylish gloves. I think it’s time for a mitten revolution.

How does music come together with fashion?

Fashion can really accentuate the type of music someone listens to. We know it’s not great to judge a book by it’s cover, but you can usually pick out the people who love Rock music in comparison to those who prefer Jazz. It’s wonderful how fashion can really underline what somebody is all about.
