Here is some inspiration for all of you. Designers all have their Spring lines out so, the fashion world is swarming with inspiration/new trends for Spring 2011 season. Here is a are some spreads of my inspiration for my Spring 2011 Looks.

My first look is for more of the edgy girl. The girl who likes to get in trouble and has the wardrobe to show. There's that bad ass chic in all of us whether we let it shine through our fashion or not.



My second look has more if the shy gal incorporated into it. The relaxed type yet, still kills with deadly fashion.


What are some new or reacquiring trends you see coming this Spring 2011?

Breath, Stretch, Shake- Let It Go.

Breathing. Seems like a simple task––nothing we do not do every day, right? Wrong. A lot of us just do not take a second to breath and appreciate our surroundings. I realize this can be very hard with all of our hectic lives but, it gets you wondering. I mean it is just breathing but, there is so much more to it. Giving yourself a time to just clear your mind and dedicate those 3 minutes (or how ever long you choose) to breathing can actually enhance your day, make it that much better.

Now what I want you to do is take in a DEEP breath. I mean just let it all go, do not think. and on your last gasp of air hold it for about 15-20 seconds then, let it out.  Now do this as many times as you like. Some days are more difficult then others but, give yourself time. You will be very surprised to see how just those 3 minutes a day can change your whole perspective. Also, an added bonus from doing this is: letting more oxygen into your lungs actually increases circulation to your brain which, initially will help your thought process. Releasing a little stress and increasing brain activity, almost to good to be true.

I personally like to do my breathing with music. It helps me from getting inside my own head and thoughts. Blasting your music, add a little breathing in there––you will never feel more refreshed. So, here is one of my latest favorites by Brooke Waggoner. She is a very talented artist, makes it very easy to get lost in her words.



Breathing&Happiness, 
Genevieve.

A healthy attitude is contagious but don't wait to catch it from others–Be a carrier.


Ever search the web, ask a friend, read a book––to try and find that instant fix. We are all fans of that "instant fix", trying to find something that will fix the void you are hanging on to, the "problem". I am personally a victim of this, searching for the answers. Well, I will let you in on the secret––You. You are the instant fix and the one who is in control of your health. Although, you are your own critic on your quest to healthy and pure life, a little help never hurt anyone. You may not even know where to start with changing a habit in your life. Fan of sweets, greasy foods, fast food? American's are always surrounded by all of in our food industry, it can be hard to say no. With a majority of us not even know what type of foods are good for us, that makes it even harder. That's where I come into play, to guide you on your quest.

You may have heard of Miranda Kerr before. Amazing supermodel, mom and advocate for organic goods.  KORA Organics by Miranda Ker carries a great line of skin care which, is all organic. I believe that living a green life benefits the environment and yourself in all the best ways. Having a great line of skin care is a great place to start experimenting with organic products if you haven't already. In the upper right hand corner is KORA organics cream cleanser which is one of my favorites. Taking care of your skin is the first step to taking care of your body. Although, some may not purchase organic products because of the increase in price, it might not be such a wise idea. You may think that you are saving yourself money but, in the long run investing in a organic skin care is the way to go.  That extra $5 dollars may just be the key to absolutely radiant skin. So, give it a try––it might just be the right step towards a organic life.

Check out KORA Organic's website too see the latest products and favorites in the organic world.

Another great website for natural and organic skincare is, wwwskinbotanica.com. Now, we all have those special times when our face decides to break out. With luck not always on your side there are organic remedies that are. Serum is great for the face and suprisignly for acne ( If its the right one) Anti-Aging serum is going to do nothing for your acne but clog your pores even more. Non-organic products are going to only put toxic chemicals back where you dont want them and serum doesn't typically sound like something you would want to put on a pimple. Well, thats where you are wrong––Organic Herbal Spot Serum.

Eminence Herbal Spot Serum
Don't let acne act up and bring you down. With Eminence Herbal Spot Serum you can calm and soothe those irritations and inflammations caused by acne flare-ups. By using ingredients like Willow Bark, Rosehip, and Anise, you can decongest your pores, clear up excess oil, and make your skin healthy and strong.
