10 Healthy and Romantic Ideas for Valentine’s Day

Toss that box of chocolates! Forget the flowers! This year, why not show that special someone you REALLY love them with these very alluring, romantic, and healthy alternatives!

The editors and experts at Getfitnow.com offer these fun non-traditional ways to heat up your Valentine’s Day!

1. START THE DAY WITH STRAWBERRIES
Colorful and oh-so-romantic, strawberries are packed with Vitamin C, which bolsters the immune system. Serve them with low-fat fruit yogurt, and a cup of green tea instead of coffee. Green tea contains powerful blood-thinning agents called flavonoids, which can reduce the risk of dangerous blood clots by 60 percent.

2. TAKE A YOGA CLASS TOGETHER
Yoga expert Gwen Lawrence, author of Body Sculpting with Yoga, says yoga refreshes, relaxes and restores. It increases strength and flexibility. Enthusiasts even claim yoga boosts your desire! So what are you waiting for?

3. GIVE (AND GET) A MASSAGE
Stock up on a bottle of fragrant massage oil infused with jasmine. Jasmine is a relaxing, sensuous, and alluring scent. Rub those achy shoulders and backs. You’ll be steaming up the room in no time!

4. GET AWAY FOR A HEALTHY WEEKEND
Rather than stay at home, venture to a quiet and cozy bed and breakfast or spa where you can spend the weekend hiking, cross-country skiing, or mountain biking. Perhaps even do some “forest bathing” as recommended by Nina Smiley, author of Mindfulness in Nature.

5. SPICE IT UP IN THE KITCHEN
Cook a delicious low-fat, low-calorie meal together. Experiment with healthy cuisine from around the world. Add some real spice, too! Onions, garlic, and ginger are rich in compounds that destroy viruses and bacteria.

6. INDULGE IN A GLASS OF RED WINE
Rather than beer or other alcoholic beverages, opt for a glass of red wine. Red wine is rich with anti-oxidants called phenolics, and red wine drinkers have a 50% lower risk of diabetes. Find out more about including red wine in your diet in the new book The Mamma Mia! Diet.

7. SINGLE? TAKE A GROUP EXERCISE CLASS
Exercise classes are not only very motivating, they are a great way to meet new friends who share a common interest in exercise and health. Treat yourself to new workout attire, while you are at it.

8. BUY YOUR SOULMATE A NEW PAIR OF RUNNING SHOES
Over time, running shoes wear out. The soles no longer act as shock absorbers and the shock gets passed along to your bones and joints. Terri Schneider, the author of Runner’s Workout Handbook, recommends a brand new pair of running shoes as a great fitness gift which also helps prevent injuries.

9. GO DANCING!
That’s right, dancing is a great way to burn calories together. Try the twist, the foxtrot, or–if you are daring–the tango, the most romantic of all dances. Want more? Dancing can burn over 300 calories per hour.

10. WHATEVER YOU DO… DON’T FORGET A VALENTINE’S CARD
While non-traditional ideas are great fun and can be healthy too, don’t put yourself under needless stress by forgetting to give your special someone a Valentine’s Day card! Love can be a tonic for all of life’s challenges, so don’t take it for granted.

Lifestyle Alert: Building Your Knowledge for Better Results and Personal Growth

As much as you might think you know, you can always, always know more. The opportunities out there in the modern world are more available than ever and if you want to move towards improvement in your career, life, or even your style then seeking out these opportunities has never been easier.

Building your knowledge in all aspects of life is essential for continuing personal growth as well as expanding your options should you ever feel like moving on from your current career. Furthermore, you will open your eyes to different experiences and have the chance to share this knowledge with the world and become a valuable asset for any business, friend, or organization.

KEEP ON LEARNING

It’s never too late to go back to school. If you want to build on your existing knowledge or even learn something completely different, then the opportunity is out there, you’ve just got to know what you want to do.

As the world evolves, the lines between different industries are becoming ever more blurred, so it doesn’t matter if you don’t believe you have the knack or experience in a specific sector, as most will overlap now, anyway. As an example, researching options for lean manufacturing education can help even if you aren’t interested in manufacturing. It can still pay dividends for consulting as well as help build experience in general business if you are feeling the itch to start your own company.

SEEK OUT ADVICE

Of course, you don’t need to go back to school. Seeking out advice from someone who has the expertise you are chasing will help immeasurably towards improving your knowledge and inspiring you for a fraction of the educational cost.

Working with an expert in fields such as fashion, design, blogging, and more will introduce you to the intricacies of the business and let you peek behind the curtain. This will provide you with essential knowledge and help you decide what next step is right for you. In addition to this, you will be able to build a relationship with said person and rely on them for advice for the rest of your career and perhaps even end up collaborating with them.

ATTEND, NETWORK, MEET

Keeping up with the trends of the world can often seem overwhelming at best to downright intimidating at worst. Some people dread to attend events and talk with new people, but this is essential for building a substantial network of like-minded people who are looking to succeed.

This is because ambition is naturally infectious. You will also become privy to upcoming trends and styles and allow you to be a step ahead of the rest when considering how to approach your next project. Establishing a plethora of connections is also vital to assist in the promotion of your brand and will aid in building your reputation in your industry.

RESULT

While you won’t see the results you might desire immediately, getting your foot in the door and exploring opportunities that you may have previously neglected is essential to discovering what is best for you. Furthermore, it will help you build your portfolio as a designer, a blogger, or a business owner.

Diving head first into something new is scary, but sticking to your comfort zone can be even more terrifying. Instead of getting stuck in a rut, roll on forward and grasp these opportunities by the collar.

Be The Best Version of You: Embrace Your Natural Beauty

It’s not easy being a woman. We’re bombarded with photoshopped images of beautiful models, we have strict beauty standards forced upon us and most of us receive criticism throughout our lives for one feature or another on our face or body. But it doesn’t have to be this way, instead of comparing ourselves to others it makes sense that we should embrace our own natural beauty. Accentuate our best features, look and feel our best in a way that’s true to us. Here are just a few of the ways you can go about doing that.

Photo from People Style.com

Choose a Hairstyle and Color That Works For You

By the time most of us reach our twenties, we’ve dyed our hair every color under the sun. You might have spent some time bleach blonde, jet black, bright red or any other weird and wonderful shade of the rainbow. But to embrace your natural beauty, why not go back to your roots? If you have natural auburn hair, why not make the most of this stunning rare color and show it off! If you’re beachy blonde, ditch the dark dyes and if you’re naturally darker than give up the bleaches. If you have grey hair, don’t feel as though you need to change it- the silver color can look beautiful. Toners can help to keep it the best shade of grey it can be without permanent damaging colors being added. Sticking with your natural shade will save you time and money, you won’t have to keep running to the hairdresser or using box dyes to cover your roots. Your hair will be in good condition where you won’t be constantly dying it, and when it comes down to it- your natural hair color is what will suit you best. It will complement both your eyes and skin tone and will make you feel like ‘you’- especially if you’ve been coloring for a while.

Stick To a Good Skincare Routine

These days there are all kinds of ‘lunch hour procedures’ that can keep you young from lip injections to fillers to Botox. They’re not too expensive and the recovery time is minimal, however, prevention is better than cure. If you treat your skin well you will reduce the signs of aging and naturally stay looking younger for longer. You should use SPF every day, even in winter as the sun’s UV rays are damaging all year round. Eat a healthy diet, drink plenty of water and avoid damaging habits such as smoking, excessively drinking or taking drugs. Look after your body as a whole, and your skin is one place you will really reap the rewards. If you do feel as though you want a procedure or a little nip/ tuck to rewind the years however then go for it. When it comes to surgery, have the aim in mind that you should look like the best version of yourself, not someone completely different!

Work on Your Physique

A strong and supple body is, of course, practical- it allows you to live your life without feeling easily fatigued and you feel fit and healthy. But maintaining a healthy weight and having toned muscles also looks good too, and can give you a huge confidence boost. If you’re overweight, shedding some pounds will be useful for both your health and your self-esteem. You could join a dieting group for support, and join a gym along with a friend or partner for motivation. Alternatively, you could find an activity you enjoy, whether it’s swimming, yoga, a dance class, a sport or just hiking with the dog and family. Aim to get to a BMI that’s healthy for you (there are lots of calculators to show you this online) and you will look how you are supposed to look and feel great too. You’ll slash your risk of all kinds of health issues that can come from weighing too much or too little. Healthy eating and exercise don’t have to be a chore, there are tones of delicious dishes out there and lots of fun activities to get you up and moving. Don’t see it as a diet, instead see it as a lifestyle change in pursuit of becoming your best self.

You don’t have to conform to unrealistic beauty standards, instead just work on making the best of yourself and highlighting your natural beauty. When you feel good on the outside it does affect the way you feel on the inside- plus many things that improve the way you look will also improve your health.

Bask In The Heaven Of Bali – Tropical Paradise

If you’re looking for new place to visit, you might want to consider taking a trip to the tropical paradise of Bali. One of the benefits of Bali is that it isn’t that expensive. In fact, Indonesia, in general, could be seen as the perfect choice for someone who wants to go to an exotic location but doesn’t have a massive budget to spend. Don’t get the wrong idea here though and don’t let the price tag fool you. It may not break the bank as a holiday destination, but it’s still a stunning place to visit. Here are a few of the things that await you in the beauty of Bali.

Gorgeous Golden Sands

One of the best things about Bali is the beach. Whether you want a relaxing vacation, tanning on the beach or you’re more interested in something a little more active Bali is the perfect place to be. Its golden beaches are like the paradise that you have seen in music videos, on billboards and postcards. When you lie down on the sand, you’ll immediately realize that you are hundreds of miles away from your troubles and stresses.

Of course, Bali is also a beautiful place for swimming in the ocean. With the temperature just right, you can relax on the beach and then head out for a dip in the aquamarine waters.

If you want to explore the area in a different way, consider hiring a boat. You’ll be able to dive off the coast and see wonderful, unique sea creatures.

Explore Nature

Another great thing about Bali is the nature that’s there ready for you to explore. Jungle wildlife surrounds you from every direction. According to https://www.gadventures.com/destinations/asia/indonesia/, one of the best features of Bali is the beautiful scenery. Pack a bag and hike through the trees and you might discover an enchanting waterfall. Or, a monkey hanging from one of the lower branches could greet you. It really is like stepping into a world from an adventure book.

Relax In Paradise

When you have returned from your trip, you will be able to relax in luxury. Have you ever wanted to indulge in an infinity pool? Well, you can in Bali. Lie by the side and gaze out across the ocean that stretches for miles. Or, look at the land below from high above the town. There are some truly incredible places to stay in Bali so don’t miss out on an unforgettable place to retreat.

Indulge In Tropical Dishes

Or how about visiting a place where the food is fresh, fruity and scrumptious. The menus in Bali are mainly based on seafood but you can also get fresh fruit smoothies and fruit on your plate picked fresh that week. It does help make an incredible breakfast to start the day. Of course, you can also learn to make one yourself on http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchen/.

We hope you see now that Bali has so much to offer you’d be crazy not to visit. And with lower prices than you think, you might be able to go sooner rather than later.

The Joyful Food Co. and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony

Alabama’s only 100% Paleo-specific bakery has expanded from baked goods to complete Paleo meals. To reflect the changes and updates, the company has rebranded itself as The Joyful Food Co.

The Joyful Food Co. was born as Consider It Joy Baking in 2015, but the idea behind it started a few years earlier because of family health problems.

“Several years ago, my family embraced a grain-free, no processed foods lifestyle to address multiple health issues my son was dealing with, and this meant everything we ate was homemade,” said Elizabeth Wood, the founder.

The changes in diet and lifestyle were a success in Wood’s personal life, but she knew other families were struggling with many of the same issues. While there was vast interest in the Paleo lifestyle by the community, the time commitment, learning curve of new ingredients and the frustration of recipe failures were huge deterrents.

“I wanted to help, so I did the only thing I knew how to do–I baked! We started small as just a bakery, but soon, customers began asking for meals as well,” Wood said.

That’s when Rebecca Wanagat joined the team. Like Wood, she was a mom on a mission, who educated herself on the Paleo lifestyle in a quest to improve her family’s health. Soon the two were selling as many meals as they were muffins! However, many people still weren’t aware of the addition of meal options.

To celebrate the growth, “Consider it Joy Baking” will re-launch as “The Joyful Food Co.” on January 4th, where the community is invited out for a ribbon-cutting ceremony. The ribbon cutting will take place at 11 am and the team will be offering samples for the rest of the day.  They are also planning a huge giveaway for 4 weeks of Paleo bundles ($396 value).

How to Make New Year’s Resolutions that Stick

Every year we begin a new year resolving to do (or quit doing) something and expect to be the game changer in our lives. For some it’s to workout, lose weight, cut out all carbs and sweets. For others, it’s a promise to save more money and get finances on track. Regardless of what you resolve to do, according to Dr. Sanam Hafeez, there is a way to set yourself up for failure or success. The mindset we are in when deciding on a resolution determines it’s stickiness. Below Dr. Hafeez, a New York based neuropsychologist affiliated with Columbia University, shares key insights on how to make New Year’s Resolutions that stick.

1. Envision the end result and reverse engineer it.

According to Dr. Hafeez, neural pathways in the brain can be changed through a combination of visualization and aligned action. She encourages people to journal about what it is they want. Write it all out. “How would life improve? What would all the benefits be? Cut pictures out of magazines of what you want and post them to a wall (or if appropriate, the refrigerator). Get very clear on what you think you will feel like once you see results,” she recommends.

2. Get clear on your triggers.

Set yourself up for success by understanding what may potentially get you off track. “Sticky resolutions come with planning. If you want to lose weight then begin with clearing out your fridge and cupboards of junk food. That in itself is an action that will tell your brain that you are serious. Get recipes and write out a new grocery shopping list. Writing plans, micro goals and ideas that serve the greater accomplishment you’re reaching for creates “buy in” from your brain, says Hafeez.”

For the people resolving to save more money Dr. Hafeez says to evaluate when and why you spend. If you notice you spend $40 a week on coffee, think of alternatives. “You don’t want to cut yourself off from anything cold-turkey. The brain doesn’t respond well to deprivation. It sends brain chemicals that signal displeasure which is what makes resolutions lose their stickiness. Shift to a possibility or curiosity mindset. Asking yourself, what can I do to save $5 per day invites in inspired thoughts and creative ideas,” explains Hafeez.

 

3. Pace yourself.

“The reason why resolutions don’t stick is because people set the bar way too high and expect achievement way too fast. Think of every week as a win! Break it down into weekly chunks and train the brain to value quick accomplishments,” she advises. The people who resolve to lose weight and get more exercise won’t stick to it if they don’t celebrate small milestones and try to do too much too soon. Resolve to lose 1 to 3 pounds per week. Do this by cutting out soft drinks or juices and drinking water instead. After 10 weeks you”ll be 20 pounds lighter with great skin just because you did one thing week by week until it became your new normal.

4. Trick your brain by making it fun.

“Our language and self-talk is everything and determines if our resolution will fade or will become something we’re still doing in June,” says Dr. Hafeez. “When someone resolves to change their diet, exercise and lose weight they already envision how difficult it is going to be so they are already dreading it before they started. However, shifting the brain to doing something fun that is in line with the goal gets you more committed,” she adds. Create a playlist of great music to work out to. Look up recipes on Pinterest to build your new shopping list. When you do the advance preparation that is more fun, and take small steps towards building the new lifestyle to support your resolution, you’re setting yourself up for a win.

5. Fuel your resolution with greater purpose worth committing to.

If you want to resolve to save more money, it’s is helpful to have a clear purpose for the money you plan to save. Resolving to save more money is vague making it hard to remain on track. Saving more money to take an amazing vacation or to purchase a home or car is something tangible you can stick to. “It’s common for people to commit to doing something when they connect it to a greater purpose beyond them or an experience they want to have. This explains why lifetime smokers can instantly quit when they learn they are pregnant. It’s not about them anymore. We see the man who is 75 pounds overweight lose weight when his daughter gets engaged. Whenever we can connect resolutions to a bigger purpose our minds get on board, and when the mind is all in, resolutions stick,” explains Dr. Hafeez.
