Rock This Look Today...

If your plans call for some fun in the sun today, try rockin' this look! We are loving this paisley print bikini from D&G paired with a super sassy beach tote. The tote is a perfect fit for all of your sun essentials - sunscreen, beach towel, Smart Water, etc. A great accessory to add to your sun regimen is a hat. Right now you can find hats in all styles and colors. We are big fans of the straw fedora hats - an accessory that you can wear during the day and carry over for a HOT outfit at night.

Get With The Program: Manscaping

After getting an early start to my Friday with an 8 mile run, some office work and a GIGANTIC cup of coffee, I decided to treat myself to an afternoon of laying poolside in the humid South Carolina heat. So, I throw my bag together - towel, check....sunscreen, check......magazines, check.....and, oh yeah, my Blackberry for Twitter updates of course!!

Naturally, while laying poolside I decide to check out my scenery (and I'm not talking the poolside landscaping folks), I'm talking the man scenery. Of course there are several guys out at the pool today, drinking beer and checking out the chicks. Except for one fine specimen to my 3:00! Heck yeah, I get some eye candy at the pool today - BONUS! That is until he takes his shirt off!

Are you kidding me?!?!?!

How can a HOT guy like this, not understand the concept of manscaping? It is July for crying out loud and the last time I checked about 60 degrees to hot for a sweater. This sweater of course covered the front and back - is it even possible for a man this young to grow this much hair?! I had half a mind to take him a card for my girl Tameka, who would make sure that he was "taken care of" for a minimum of three weeks, but decided against it. I don't think Tameka has enough waxing paper for that one!

So, gentleman.....this blog's for you! If you aren't with the program, get with it and do some manscaping. I promise you cannot go wrong with this decision :)



David Beckham even rocks this look!!

Rock This Look Loves...

A self-proclaimed product junkie, imagine my delight coming across this little gem in the grocery store!

\

If you've been working hard and putting in some serious sweat sessions this summer, try coconut water post-workout for an amazing boost! Coconut water has the five essential electrolytes that your body needs - potassium, sodium, magnesium, calcium and phosphorous. There is more potassium than a banana and 15 times more than the leading sports drink! Consider me sold :)

We are also loving the motivation and accountability from the new online Personal Trainer from the folks at Runner's World. Try logging in your workouts and nutrition, set your goals and follow your progress towards a rockin' new look!!

Our swimsuit inspiration this month....Marissa MIller!



Get Marissa's rockin' abs with our favorite yoga move this month - The Boat!


Works core, back, hip flexors
Sit on the sand with your knees bent and your feet flat and together on the sand. Place your right hand behind your right knee and your left hand behind your left knee. Keeping your knees bent, raise your lower legs until your calves are parallel to the ground (A). Hold for five to 15 breaths. Lower your feet to the sand and rest for five breaths. Next, start the same way, but when you lift your feet, straighten your legs completely so your body forms a V. Raise your arms straight in front of you to shoulder height, palms facing each other (B). Hold for five to 15 breaths. Lower your legs and rest for five breaths. Repeat.

Rolled Up Jeans The Right Way
