New Years Resolutions That Will Last: Ways to stay fit and healthy throughout 2010

Hello once again, Fashionistas! Happy Holidays to you, all!

Ah, a New Year once again has arrived. Are you ready to take the chance to start out fresh?
Well, Fashionistas , it's that time of year again where we need to get one step ahead of ourselves and down the yellow brick road to Oz. (refence from the Wizard from the Oz)
Are you willing to do? Or are you going to repeat the same mistakes from last year? It's up to you. Make your Choice. Make sure, you stick TO IT!

Yes, Change is Difficult.

You must be eagered to know what's going on with my website. Well, I will have to mention that I will be not only writing about fashion and my everyday life but also health, fitness, nutrition, travel, and other fascinating facts that may or may not be useful in your everyday life. Instead of focusing on one subject or one area, I decided to expand these areas that implies to our everyday lives. I wanted to add variety with my blogs :)

Today's Topic of the day is New Years Resolutions and how to stick to it throughout the rest of the year. You may think this is easily possible to achieve but just you see and wait, until within a couple weeks in, you will start noticing that you will be slipping and sliding back into old habits. It ain't good however it will happen for most of you.

Here, you all must urging to know what are my New Years Resolutions are. Well, I will have a list out for you however I may be doing an awesome job suceeding at them now but I know in the long run, that I might be breaking my resolutions back into old habits.

New Years Resolutions for the Year 2010
-Workout at least 4 times a week for at least an hour at the gym
-Eat small amounts of meals more often throughout the day instead 3 big ones
-Find a suitable job in the City of London or perhaps my dream job as a student of UWO is to work in retail such as H&M
-In addition, drink lots of water everyday and substitute it instead of soft drinks, juices, or flavoured water
-Study consistently everyday and don't procrastinate on essays, projects, papers, and studying for tests and midterms til the week before or the last minute

I have numerous amount of goals however these one are the goals that I want to accomplish within the long term.

New year's resolutions aren't easy to keep, but if you're serious about changing your derelict diet—and losing a few pounds along the way—a resolution can help. A study published in the Journal of Clinical Psychology reports that those who pledge to make behavior changes by means of a resolution were 10 times more likely to succeed than those who simply want to make a change. Going public and sharing your goal with someone can also bump up your odds for success.

But a commitment to better eating is only the start. You also need to figure out how and what to change. Here are four suggestions that can put you on the right path.
Keep a Food Record
To fix your diet you should understand where it's broken. One good way to do that, says Washington, D.C.-based registered dietician Katherine Tallmadge, is to keep a pencil and notebook handy as you go about your day. For at least a week, record everything you eat, when you eat, and maybe how you feel after you eat.

The exercise can be eye-opening, says Tallmadge, who is also author of Diet Simple: 214 Mental Tricks, Substitutions, Habits & Inspiration (LifeLine Press, 2004). By analyzing your eating routines, she says, you can discover both the good habits you practice as well as those that regularly route high-calorie, low-nutrition fodder toward your mouth.


It can also unveil such misguided behaviors as chronically skipping breakfast. "Studies have shown that if you eat breakfast," Tallmadge says, "you eat proportionally fewer calories the rest of the day."


Keeping an ongoing food record while trying to establish better eating patterns can make you accountable to yourself and discourage mindless eating.

And make sure to record one other item: your weight. Climb on the scale at least once a week if not every day, says Tallmadge.

Discover (or Rediscover) Veggies
Mothers have told us from the beginning of time to eat our vegetables. Now it's time to pay attention.

Melanie Polk, a registered dietician and nutrition director for the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR), says by adding ample amounts of vegetables, fruits, whole grains and beans to your diet you reap a nutritional bonanza. You also benefit from non-nutritive plant chemicals that contain protective, disease-preventing compounds called phytochemicals.


Moreover, recent studies show that consuming plant foods can play an important role in weight loss, says Polk. High in water and fiber and low in "energy density," they create a feeling of fullness without delivering the big calorie load of high-fat foods.

Remove Temptations
When retraining your eating habits, avoiding temptation is a better strategy than trying to resist it. "We're eating machines—that's instinctive," says Tallmadge. "That's why it's important to keep only healthy foods in your home."

Tallmadge recommends purging your home of chips, cookies and other items you don't want to ingest. Then make sure you have nutritious foods around that are easy to grab when you do feel like snacking. One good option is pre-made vegetable soup in your refrigerator that you can quickly heat up. Another is chopped fruit and vegetables that you can dip into humus, yogurt or light ranch dressing.


Also, be ready for the challenges you face outside of your controlled eating environment. "If you know you're going to overeat at a certain event, seriously consider not going," she says.

Don't Give Up
Finally, if you begin to slide into your former eating patterns, refuse to give up and abandon your effort. Persistence is better than perfection.


"Accepting the setback and moving on is the best strategy," says Tallmadge. Tallmadge notes that weight loss studies have shown those who keep weight off and those who regain weight typically have the same number of slip-ups. "Successful people just know how to rebound from them better," she says.

And remember: making a resolution to eat better doesn't mean you have to fight your wayward dining habits all alone. Solicit the advice of nutrition counselors, doctors, or the 92-year-old marathon runner next door if you think they can help you help you get—and stay—on the right track.

Here you go, folks. Here are ways to start off your New Years Resolutions on the right track. It may be a little difficult at first, like the article mentions "Don't Give up!"
There are always ways to stay with your new diet and fitness plan than slipping back to your old habits of temptation eating and lack of motivation for exercising.

Guess what? Jessy, a model manager, stylist and former model of The Agency here in London is attending the gym with me early Thursday morning to advise me new ways to workout, to eat properly, and the types of exercises to do in order to accomplish my New Years Resolutions.
I am fairly excited to start off fresh for the year. I promise you, and I must!
I will post more new blogs for the rest of the year and you can follow me along throughout my busy scheduled life. Yes, and I am absolutely sure that I will execute this goal!


Nevertheless, I must leave now and read my textbook for my upcoming class this afternoon.


Good Luck with your New Years Resolutions and if they last! I know it will.

~*~*The 3 R's into a Stylish, Fabulous and Glamorous Bedroom---Exclusive: New Look Into my Newly Renovated Room

Hi Fashionistas!

Welcome to the year 2010! It's going to be one of the best of all years and the first years of the 2010's decade! Also, United Nations announced 2010 to be the international year of Biodiversity.

Let's hit the Spotlight today!

This will be my first ever look into my newly renovated room which was completed summer 2009. It took approximately 3 months to completely renovate from top to bottom including the ceiling. I must say, I designed it, helped out with my parents, and brought the furniture and accessories. I am still currently trying to style it up a bit. For example: place new photo frames with pictures inside, add a few modern acessories here and there, and hang out one more poster of Audrey Hepburn (one of my all-time favourite celebrity)

Anyways, let's take a good look of my glamorous, stylish room! :)

This is my Navy Blue Futon that my mom brought for me.

This is my Navy Blue futon with gorgeous abstract coloured pillows with Marilyn Monroe hanging on the wall.

Here's a close-up of the photographs hanging on the wall. The IKEA Lamp is hanging off the ceiling in the middle. Which I love! Because it makes a perfect reading lamp for bedtime. Beside the ceiling lamp, the photograph of Thinking Red For Valentine's, A Vogue Magazine Cover from 1956, Photo by Norman-Parkinson

Lol. My side desk on a normal day from school. My laser printer just sits on top of my glass side desk. Cd rack and IKEA black labelled boxes full of school suppilies. Down Below: Magazine Holder with People's, Cosmo, Glamour, Marie Claire, and Flare Magazines. Right Beside it: Black Strawed Trash Holder.

On Left: This picture views the Rona's Ceiling and Wall Lamps. My favourite pair of lights in my bedroom. It looks like studio lights however they shine ever so brightly and perfect for studying. It keeps me awake at night for late studying. Down Below is my iPod dock charger, alarm clock, radio and iPod music system. There is my bookcase full of a variety of books, dvds, school textbooks, binders, and vhs movies. Right beside the bookcase, there's my IKEA brought mirror which I adore the exterior black framing that surronds the mirror.

Here are the Right>>>>>

I officially painted the window framing white with IKEA brought curtains which I also adore especially the clips that hangs the curtains down. Here, you can catch a better glimpse of the ceiling and wall studio lighting. Absolute favourite!

Next picture shows below the side glass desk with a closer look of my magazine holder, trash, and laundry basket on the side. All items are from JYSK. I'm fairly lucky to have a store like that in London, Ontario. JYSK and EQ3 are the only stores that I adore for room interior design and euopean-styled furniture.




Left: One of my corners of my room: Includes a backpack and bag hanger especially for my backpacks and sports bag. On the chestnut wooden floor lies a photograph of young Audrey Hepburn which one of the photographs must be hanged up on the wall.
Full Center: 1950's Vogue Photograph Close-up
Right: Bookshelves in the Making

Hahaha My Maltese/Poodle dog, Collin is snoozing on my futon. How cute!

Picture Above: JYSK Glass Black Framed Computer Desk with my Acer Computer and Wireless Keyboard and Mouse and Altec Lansing Sound System. Also, my water bottle on the side. Lol

Anyways, altogether, the 3 R's means: Recreate, Reorganize, and Renovate into a Newly Trendy, and Glamorous High Fashion Bedroom. If I can renovate, then you can! Hope you enjoy this blog!

 I know, I realize, I'm not the best blogger yet which I attempt to accomplish this in the near future. However, I try my best to blog with new updates, news, and my exciting adventures which are not quite enduring however, sometimes I feel it needs to blog. LOL.


Recently, I've been watching a few updates videos on Youtube and found a couple of them highly interesting especially when you have no idea what makeup to use, how to take care of your skin correctly, and how to dress trendy, in style, and as always, find the perfect everyday outfit that suits you! Here are a few Youtube channel that you should seek if alot of time is present:

These are just a few of the videos that I keep update on Youtube. Obviously, there's plenty more. However, let's get down to the topic of this blog: My New Hair Look for January 2010!

Quick Facts:
-I had numerous amount of hair looks in the past ex. Highlighted Chocolate Hair, Short Jessica Simpson's Bob, Hair straightened to the shoulders with bangs, side bangs with Layers, Suprisingly I had curly Shirley Temple Hair when younger (LOL) and etc.
-Pixie Cut was so last year! I wanted to have a new look  last November 2009 so I ask for my hair stylist's suggestion, and she came up with this Rihanna's sexy pixie cut look! Then, I decided to  have my hair blonde highlighted with a short pixie look almost like Tinkerbell LOl.
-My hair is dirty blonde color, fine, and usually around shoulder-length.

Reasons for deciding to get a Pixie Cut Look:
-My model trainer/stylist, Jessy decided with me that it would look best for my distrinctive facial features look
-Many photographers, scouts, and people who do model bookings always look for new trendy, fashionable and distinct looks like pixie cuts. You have a better chance to get hired by these significant people and not so many girls can pull-off the look and even think of getting their hair shorter for photographers. For me, especially, I have no fear of what I look like. My way of thinking is you are who you are in the inside, but from the outside, you can portray/trick others into thinking of someone that you are not. This is not always the case however sometimes it is.
-A fair amount of girls feel more feminine and sexy when they have longer hair. Truthfully, guys are more attracted to longer hair girls than girls who have shorter hair. For Numerous of Reasons. But, I am a girl with self-confidence, adventurous, daring, and not afraid of my look because I know in the end, personality shows more in who you are than how you look.
The pixie cut is hard to pull off only a few can like me :)

As you can see, this is not new business for me. But, I must say, I much appreciate this look overall even though when I have longer hair, I look great either way.

Jessy suggested me to go with these styles while I'm at the newly hair stylist studio in January.

Everyone always mention I'm Cameron Diaz's sister. And I believe that! Lol!

COMING SOON: New Youtube Channel in February! Please check it out when you have a chance next year!
