Stirlen Mat Refresher



I have been incorporating more yoga in my exercise life and I love my new yoga mat!! I want to keep it nice and new looking. I think I've stated before that the sweatier the yoga the better for me! It can get a little stinky and germy from all that sweat. Especially if other people use your mat - eeeewwww!

Luckily I found Stirlen Mat Refresher! I have been really enjoying using these mat wipes and the spray. These are good for mats or other equipment at the gym or home. They can be used on vinyl, rubber, chrome and even your own hands and feet. They have a nice citrusy smell.


Stirlen products are bio-degradable, environmentally friendly and non-toxic. They are also plant based.

The products are small enough that you can throw them in your gym bag to take with you wherever you work out.

Here is a great video on how to clean your mat with Stirlen Mat Refresher.

Namaste my friends!

My Manifestation Board


Got my board done today. I've been really thinking about what I wanted on it, then got started with cutting and pasting. It's like I went back to school :) I had a great time picking out things that go along with my goals and inTENtions for 2010! I'm happy with how it turned out!


Do you make a manifestation/vision board? If so, I'd love to see yours!! If you are unfamiliar with these boards, you just focus on things you want to achieve in the coming year. I bought posterboard, went through some magazines for my photos and then found some cute stickers to put on it to dress it up a bit!


Look for a new review tomorrow!! Hope you all have a great night, stay warm out there!

Eco Tools winners!

Congratulations to my lucky readers Jules, Sarah and Cheryl. Comments number 19, 1 and 8 were the winners of the beautiful Eco Tools Alicia Silverstone overnight bags. I just sent each of you an email. You have 48 hours to respond or I'll have to have a second chance drawing!

Congrats :)

Toesox

I have really been trying to incorporate more yoga into my exercise routine. I love the way I feel when I do yoga regularly, not to mention the fact that I am more flexible and that is always a good thing.


One of the problems I have with yoga is that I get sweaty and then my feet and hands start slipping on the mat. I got a great yoga mat from Aurorae, but the sweat still comes and is hard to hold those positions.


I was so glad to find Toesox. These socks have a non-slip sole with superior grip and can be used for other activities than yoga ( pilates, dance, martial arts). They have a 5 toe design which helps to strengthen muscles and ligaments and it also increases blood circulation. They also protect your feet from germs if you are in a public setting. They are made with organic cotton and also reduce the moisture and friction on your feet and in between toes.


I think I liked the half toe sox the best. I felt that I had more grip with my toes exposed. Don't ask me why, I can't answer that one LOL!







Toe Sox come in a wide variety of colors and patterns. So cute, there is something for everyone! Check mine out.









I chose the solid colors, but the stripes look so fun!


ToeSox can be thrown in the washer in cold water, be sure to turn them inside out to protect the gripping dots! Best to hang dry. If you order a pair, be sure to check out the sizing chart and order accordingly. Don't order up a size, you want the sox to fit like a glove and perform properly.


If you are looking for a great way to make your yoga workouts (or other workouts) more comfortable and better, then you must check out ToeSox! Follow ToeSox on Twitter and Facebook!

Brian got me the Trudie Styler Warrior Yoga for Christmas and I tried it yesterday with the ToeSox! I liked it, it wasn't as "sweaty" as I would've liked, but I think it will find its way into my yoga routine. I still like my Tony Horton's One on One Fountain of Youth Yoga best! I used to do Bikram Yoga and I LOVED it! Talk about sweaty yoga, but then the instructor left town and no more classes. Bummer!


Do you like to do yoga? Do you prefer classes to vidoes? What is your fave yoga?

Too Many Things to Do!


I really need to get a lot accomplished today - I'm going to Eat That Frog! (This is a time management book by Brian Tracy- highly recommend it!)




My list today looks like this:

1) Take down Christmas tree and all other Christmas decorations

2) 30 min speed cleaning
3) laundry

4) yoga and treadmill time

5) make brown rice
6) clean out fridge

7) check out some new tunes from itunes (need to get some good music on the pod)

8) make my manifestation/vision board for 2010

I think that is all. I'm sure I am forgetting something LOL!
Anyway, I will look at my list, decide which one is the worst and that is the first one I'm going to do. Eat the Frog.....
I am looking forward to yoga today. I am going to try my Toe Sox ( review tomorrow!!!!) I got Trudie Styler's Warrior Yoga for Christmas and it will be my first time to do it! Yay!!
Do you make to-do lists? I really find that it helps to keep me on track if I have a list I can refer to throughout the day. Chalene Johnson, creator of Turbo Jam and ChaLEAN Extreme recommends keeping your list on your phone. This way it is always with you.

What are your tips for staying on track to get things done?

Happy New Year


I hope that everyone had a great New Year's Eve. Ours was spent with good friends, good food and a nice comfy bed around midnight! No hangovers for us, thank goodness.

Today I am starting the PCRM 21 Day Vegan Kickstart! 21 days of vegan eating. I am also including 21 days of exercise with no rest. If anyone wants to join me, just let me know. I'll send you the info! It is going to be a good way to start the year!

I've seen a lot of people post about their 10 in '10, so I think I'll join in!

This year I hope to accomplish the following:

1) eating healthy and exercise

2) Get organized and be more efficient

3) be a kinder person: love more, laugh more and enjoy life

4) Travel with Brian as much as possible

5) Spread the word about health and fitness

6) donate my time/money more

7) Pray more

8) Get the RV

9) run a 5K marathon

10) start learning a new language, preferably Italian since I want to visit Italy soon!

These are in no particular order, just what I came up with off the top of my head.

I have one very large goal that I consider un-attainable. I'm not going to share it here with you all just yet.

What are your goals for 2010?
